“The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the ‘devil’ only in order to drive the TV watcher to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US . . .” Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cooke (source)

We all know that Dick Cheney and George Bush lie, but the fact remains that they got away with lying for a long time. Many people have written about and analyzed these lies, and that is all well and good. Yet the problem is not the lying so much as the getting away with it. And it really isn’t that hard to innoculate oneself, so here’s a little case study.

Words have emotional content. They have literal meanings, and they have connotations. Some words have blurry edges and others have sharp edges. The problem really rests with the way psychopathic people use words. They slip them into our minds like date-rape drugs, and many people have a limited defense against this, especially when it happens on tv where the words pass by so quickly. It’s one of the main reasons why tv remains such a powerful and dangerous tool used against the American people. In most cases, you’re better off reading what they say than watching them say it.

So here’s an easy one to deconstruct (via PressTV): Cheney Clueless about Bin Laden
It’s easy because we all know how much Dick Cheney lies, but you can take this little display of arrogance and extrapolate it out into literally thousands upon thousands of interactions for public consumption. They all do it the same way: they use words which are loaded with connotation or else vague with meaning, and you fill in the rest with your mind. You don’t even know it’s happening. That’s why they call it psychological operations (psyops). You are manipulated to believe something other than reality.

US Vice President Dick Cheney says he cannot verify that Osama Bin Laden, the notorious leader of al-Qaeda terror network, is still alive.

cannot verify: Sounds crisp. Military. Precise. Mr. Cheney “cannot verify” this information because he has such great respect for the facts, and he would not want to mislead people or get them excited and then have to disappoint them later. Suuuure. In reality, he “cannot verify” this information because that would blow an important component of the War of Terror.

Cheney told Fox News on Sunday that he did not know whether Bin Laden was alive but “I’m guessing he is,” the vice president said.

guessing: Guessing is so squidgy. It has built in plausible deniability. Could Dick have guessed that Bin Ladin is dead? Yes, he could do that (especially since it’s true as he knows), but again, that would blow an important component of the War of Terror, so he must guess in the direction that suits his purposes.

“We’ve had certain pieces of evidence become available from time to time, there’ll be a photograph released or something that allows the intelligence community to judge that he is still alive,” he added.

passive voice: Here Dick puts himself right in your shoes, standing on the outside, as if he has hardly any inside knowledge whatsoever. That’s right. He’s just an innocent bystander, just taking what comes along from those wily terrorists, while sadly lacking the ultimate intelligence to solve this problem once and for all. You can imagine his frustration, no?

Look at his sentence again. It is a marvel of lying.

How do the pieces of evidence become “available from time to time”? Why indeed! Since Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, the pieces of “evidence” are always available. They come right out of the CIA psyops shop whenever it seems appropriate, also known as “from time to time”!! A “photograph” or “something” that “allows” the intelligence community “to judge” [don't you love it!] that their nemesis, Bin Laden, is still alive. !!! It couldn’t be easier.

In the aftermath of 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks, US President George W. Bush declared he wanted Osama Bin Laden “dead or alive.” He vowed to kill or capture the mastermind behind the suicide attacks that hit the heart of the United States and left nearly 3,000 people killed.

serious vows: It’s very important to vow the most serious things that you know will never happen, like capturing the terrorists on your payroll.

Bush stepped up the manhunt for Bin Laden earlier in the year, hoping to capture or kill him before handing the presidency over to Barack Obama.

stepping up: Same thing. You step up efforts only for things that you know will never happen, like “capturing” and “killing” long-dead terrorists that were on your payroll. It looks good for the folks watching at home.

With a bounty of USD 25m on his head, the 51-year-old Bin Laden has so far eluded his Americans pursuers.

bounty: What a rich word, evoking the Wild West. [Never] Gonna git ‘em! Heh heh. It’s perfect for George. And there’s that worthy opponent, Bin Laden, “eluding” his “American pursuers.” So rich in meaning.

Earlier in December, CIA Director Mike Hayden told a group of reporters this month that finding bin Laden and blocking terror attacks, remained the agency’s main goal.

“I can assure you, although there has been press speculation to the contrary . . . that the hunt for bin Laden is very much at the top of the CIA’s priority list,” he said.

technical guru in charge: Oh yes. We now have Mr. Hayden “assuring” us that the “speculation” is erroneous. The “hunt” for Bin Laden is a “top” priority. Well of course!! We can never stop this phony hunt because finding Osama bin Laden would blow an important component of the War of Terror.

OK. Back to the headline: Cheney Clueless about Bin Laden. This story is from Press TV, which is an Iranian media source. The headline uses the word clueless — a clear put-down. And yet the article itself conveys the psyops of Mr. Cheney, Mr. Bush and Mr. Hayden, essentially without pushback. In fact, that top sentence with the “cannot verify” almost legitimizes Dick’s lies unless you read it as snark. The reader must understand. But do readers understand? Let us hope so. Because otherwise we have to ask ourselves why Press TV is putting out a story full of unchallenged psyops. And an interesting question too, that is, since people would never expect it from Press TV, the target of blacklist legislation this past summer. Well, that’s the kind of thing that keeps it “fun” for those of us who give a shit.

Once you get the hang of this, it’s mordant chuckles all day long. Now if we can just figure out how to get about 150 million people up to speed by next week, we should be all set.

Totally unexpected…surprising him no end…practically inconceivable that it should turn out this way…blah blah blah

Kissinger also related that he has been struck by how much the move toward a new global order has been enhanced by the recent crises.

“The jihadist crisis is bringing it home to everybody, that international affairs cannot be conducted entirely by drawing borders and defining international politics by who crosses what borders with organized military force.” he said.

“This has now been reinforced by the financial crisis, which totally unexpectedly has spread around the world. It limits the resources that each country has for a foreign policy geared to an assertion of its own pure interests.”

Here he’s been, advocating for a New World Order for decades now, and lookie here! This here financial crisis has spread around the whole world, in a “totally unexpected” manner, and that will help usher in the New World Order that Herr Kissinger has been working toward for decades! Go Figure!! What are the chances?!?

You know, these unfortunate crises like terrorism and global economic catastrophe? These are actually opportunities to fulfill the life’s work of people like Henry Kissinger. And what is his life’s work but instituting a New World Order? He says so himself.

Interviewer Charlie Rose, who has previously listened to Kissinger’s calls for a new world order, recognized the direction the conversation was taking and urged Kissinger to elaborate:

“When you talk about a new structure, I’m not sure, you’ve used the term new world order, what is it? Is it simply a world order that is defined by new interest and new mutuality of interest?” Rose asked.

“That’s certainly how you have to start. I know the view that you start by converting the whole world to our political philosophy. I don’t think that can be done in one or two terms of an administration. That is an historic process that has its own rhythm.” Kissinger replied.

“Our” meaning the people who have been running the world into the ground for the past half a century and who have by now transferred unimaginable sums of money into their own pockets.

And you are to believe that the current catastrophes keeping you awake at night are simply unfortunate but golden opportunities to convert the whole world to the international elites’ political philosophy. It just all happens by chance actually. Weird, huh?

blink blink blink

Yes. The Fallout. This Madoff situation is a tragedy, see?, like a nuclear bomb went off. And don’t you forget it. People are being hurt. (No not you.)

If you enjoy a little schadenfreude, well, that’s ok. The people in charge would actually really like to take the temperature on that anyway, you know, see where the people are at. Have they got you to a boiling point yet? Not quite? Hey, they’re fiddling with the knobs now.

This Madoff scandal represents such a magnificent opportunity for psyops. The intelligence people must be rubbing their hands together as they “craft” their “narrative.” Got to be careful, though.

Head on over and watch the latest sitcom masterpiece from MSNBC at Huffington Post.

Here’s the canned audience reaction (that would be YOU):

The Poor Jewish Victims. (again)
The Money Is ALL GONE. (don’t ask where it went wink wink wink.)
Now They Can’t Help the Gifted Children. And There Are So Many. (sniff and fill many tissues)
But Failure Is Not An Option. !! (clutch heart in wonder, bite lip like Bill Clinton)
Aren’t They Just…The Scrappiest? (be really impressed now)
It’s a Good Thing That US Taxpayers Will Bail Out These Jewish Charities in Israel, Since Madoff Committed Fraud on His Own People! (shake head sadly)
It’s Just So Unbelievable.

Yes. Yes it is. I was just thinking the very same thing.

Now if it’s true that Madoff sent the money to Israel and these charities know it, well that might elicit a different kind of fallout.

Yesterday turned up this little curiosity about Madoff. Let’s just see what it might mean.

As more info comes in regarding the Madeoff scheme, news from several sources
say that Madeoff and his clients were the largest bank account holders listed
on a computer disk leaked by a Swiss bank worker regarding US persons with
hidden Swiss bank accounts.

A whistleblower. And you may recall that pressure has increased on Swiss banks to ditch some of their notorious secrecy rules because they facilitate tax evasion and corruption. So it makes sense that a whistleblower might come forward about now, as the game is changing anyway.

As the IRS approached him regarding the repayment of taxes from his hidden
swiss account, Madeoff reportedly became admamant that his wealth would not be
taxed by the US. He also realized that once the swiss records were exposed
that his and his client’s wealth were also within reach of seizure or
judgement by a US court regarding past frauds of him or his clients.

Realizing that he was be certain to arrested on other securities and market
making fraud issues in the near future, insiders say that it was at this point
he made the decision to just say it was all lost in trading and move it
directly to Israel. Insiders also report that he was ready to pay the taxes on
the money in Israel but was adamant that taxes in the US would not be paid nor
would any of the money be available for US court judgements in subprime,
fraudlent trading and misrepresentation charges in the future.

So Madoff is adamant not to pay US taxes, but he is ok with paying taxes in Israel. He sounds like a Talmudic Jew.

Sources say that most of his and his clients wealth were gained through
issuing subprime mortgages to unqualified borrowers and then tranching the
mortgages into CDOs and circulating the CDOs among US pension funds including
GM, GE, IBM and Califorina’s State pension fund. Some of the wealth was also
gotten through investments in Vegas housing sub divisions and Miami condo
projects at the height of the real estate bubble.

Finally, sources say that the wealth from Madeoff’s has been fully transfered
to Israel and that “most if not all of the clients have been made aware” that
their money is available to them in Israel and that it was felt that this was
a necessary measure in protecting certain high level clients in the face of a
collapse of the USA.

They’re all set. That’s all that counts. The rest of the article confirms this point. Madoff and his investors show utter contempt for the citizens of the US.

But that is not what we hear on psyops tv. No. By all accounts Madoff is something like ‘the nicest guy in the world.’ Yes. Well, maybe in his own little world that’s true. We can all afford to be nice when we have mountains of stolen money at our disposal and no worries of being caught.

And naturally, a judge stepped in right away to help all the poor wealthy victims of Madoff’s “fraud.” That’s right. We can’t have any wealthy investors or their pet money laundering causes losing any of their dollars. That’s what you are for, American Citizen: to keep rich people whole.

And all Madoff has to do is plead guilty to “fraud,” and everyone is happy in the end. Except you, but you don’t count, Bubba. That’s why Madoff is “the nicest guy in the world,” see? He’s the Scooter Libby of 2008 — taking one for the team. A real hero, that Madoff.

So why plead guilty? The answer is simple. Look on the net and you will see that because this case is being labelled a fraud, it would appear that investors are going to be able to claim their investment back under the US government’s financial fraud protection scheme. A judge has already given his approval in principle for compensation, w ithout any evidence having been presented and financial fraud being demonstrated in a court of law. And it would appear that there will never be such a demonstration in a court of law. Why? It would appear that all the funds financial records are mostly “missing” (rather like Dov Zakheim’s US$1.4tn) and those few records that do survive are in a terrible mess.

However, since the guy has pleaded guilty we do not need to demonstrate the fraud, because he says he is guilty.

And look further on the net and you will see that these “victims” have also been told by the US tax authorities that they will probably also be entitled to claim back some taxes on these defrauded sums.

Rather than saying this hedge fund has gone bust, due to its choice of investment assets and investment methologies, a scenario which is highly probable in the current financial paradigm, since all the professionals are predicting that at least 30% of all hedge funds are about to fail, more than 700 of them, the CEO chooses to fess up to fraud. If the CEO admits the fund has gone bust, then all those wealthy members of the Jewish community get nothing, but if the CEO admits to fraud they get their money back as compensation from the US tax payer, just as they are also drawing money back from the tax payers with the other hand.

And, as can be seen at the Daily Mail link above, the investors in this fund only get to litigate the fund directors against Lloyds insurers in London for even more compensation. Done properly the compensation could end up paying out far more than the original fund returns (yes this is sarcasm, it was bound to creep in eventually in yet another swindle like this).

George Washington has a post up about the riot meme being spread by the very people who, one would think, don’t want people to riot.

Smart readers understand the Hegelian dialectic: problem-reaction-solution.

Funny - this coming from the IMF, which collection of bankers is directly responsible for creating the problem. Notice a pattern here?

It sounds to me like they’re preparing us for the solution to the problem they caused which will probably take the form of a “one-world” currency, or better yet, all of our wealth could be encoded on a chip and implanted under our skin. That marvelous idea will put an end to all crime.

Don’t buy it. Small communities can print their own currency and trade it for goods and services, and everyone should be growing food. We don’t need any more of their “solutions.”

Read about the Hegelian dialectic. Understand it, because this is the primary tool used to make the NWO agenda possible. Once the American people understand this, it’s game over for the globalists. Time is of the essence.

Branching into theology for a second, I have many times cited M. Scott Peck and his book, People of the Lie. Evil people do not understand love. They understand it only as a crude handle by which to manipulate normal people. In other words, they understand it in a mechanical way. But of course, this falls far short of understanding and experiencing the power and nuances of love in its many forms.

Right now they are conducting an obscene, in-our-faces brazen financial theft, so over-the-top in its diabolical greed that they fully expect and hope we will rise up out of our multiple poisoned induced stupors to riot against them, thereby justifying dumping their further abuse on our heads. Since we’ve been largely inured to their longstanding abuse, however, they have to send out the occasional satrap like Strauss-Kahn to make a provocative statement. I guess we’re a little dense.

So here is their plan in a nutshell:
Problem: Unprecedented, outrageous financial fraud undertaken with complete impunity.
Reaction: Justified rage, disintegrating into riots, helped along by agents provocateurs in the streets and through the media.
Solution: Martial Law, new currency, NWO agenda, etc.

If that financial problem doesn’t get you to do “the right thing,” they most certainly have plans B and C, which can range from “terrorist” attacks to “natural” disasters. They will do whatever it takes, and they have the technology, the money, and the power to carry it through.

I don’t know exactly where that leave the rest of us, but you always have the power of your attention. Don’t give it to them. You have the power of your emotions. Don’t give it to them. You have the power of your creativity. Don’t give it to them. Respond and react from a place of love, to the best of your ability. They cannot predict the things people will do out of love because love is like a mysterious foreign language to them. Be an expert on the one thing they just don’t quite get.

For instance, check this out.

A few months back I stumbled across this site which explains the meaning of gold fringe and other decorations on American flags. Guess what? They don’t belong on the flag except under special circumstances.

Martial Law Flag “Pursuant to 4 U.S.C. chapter 1, §§1, 2, & 3; Executive Order 10834, August 21, 1959; 24 F.R.6865; a military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW FRINGE border on three sides. The President of the United States designates this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the military. The placing of a fringe on the national flag, the dimensions of the flag and the arrangement of the stars in the union are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but are within the discretion of the President as Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy.” 34 Ops. Atty. Gen. 83.

President, Dwight David Eisenhower, by Executive Order No.10834, signed on August 21, 1959 and printed in the Federal Register at 24 F.R. 6865, pursuant to law, stated that: “A military flag is a flag that resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a yellow fringe border on three sides.”

(Second photo of Stephen Hadley, December 2007.)

You can go read it and judge for yourself. According to the Executive Order, these matters rest within the (tremendous and ever expanding) purview of the President as Commander in Chief. And we all know how much George has loved being Commander in Chief. I think he enjoys every single trapping of power, and he probably really gets his rocks off standing in front of fringed and tasseled flags with spread eagle finials, especially knowing that the meaning is lost on most people. Talk about getting away with bloody murder…

So, have we been under Martial Law for years, as many suspect? Has the evidence been in our faces this whole time? Would George Bush love that kind of brazen smackdown?

Dates and symbols and secret codes hold meaning to the underworld. While it may seem flaky and ridiculous to normal people who obviously have more important things to worry about, tuning it all out deprives us of important clues. Remember when Tommy Lee Jones picked up the tabloids in Men in Black to find out what was going on? There’s some truth to that. We are dealing with whack-jobs.

So I have been intrigued to notice the flags since Obama’s election.

On his third press conference (11/25/08), the flags sported no fringe or tassels. I don’t know about the finials. At the recent appearance with Al Gore, the flags do have fringe but no tassels, and the display does not call attention to the fringe.

In contrast, the last picture was taken sometime before his election.

Hopefully what we’re seeing is a transition back to a constitutional government, but we’re not there yet. Nevertheless, it’s always a good thing when they know that we know about their secret handshakes and dog whistles and all that kooky stuff. If they want to deny that the fringe means anything, well, fine. Take it off then. Either it means something or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, remove it. What’s the big deal?

You tell me.

This is a little weird. Are they playing that party game when you blindfold the person who’s ‘it’ and make them grope around the room for some mysterious object while giving them hints like warmer and cooler?

It’s quite unsettling to talk to members of Barack Obama’s transition teams these days, especially those who are helping with the economics portfolio. Without going into details, the sense I get from them is that they are very worried that the economy will get a lot worse before it gets better. [WARMER] Not just worse… a lot worse. [WARMER] As in — double digit unemployment without the wiggle factors. Huge declines in aggregate demand. Significant, persistent deficits. [DEFINITELY WARMER] That’s one reason why the Obama administration seems to be open to listening to every economist with an idea and is stocking the staff with the leading lights of the field. In one sense, the general level of concern among Obama advisers and transition staffers is reassuring; they get the magnitude of the problems, and they’re not going to assume that, just because the bottom has never dropped out before — certainly not in the lifetimes of most people doing policy these days, the bottom will never drop out. [VERY VERY WARM]

Where the discussion isn’t going, at least in public, (or the PR level), is the possibility that the first foreign policy crisis the administration will face will be the complete economic collapse of a large, unstable nation. [GETTING HOT NOW -- SO CLOSE!! WHICH COUNTRY WILL IT BE!?!?!?! CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT?!?!?!? IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!] {Blindfolded player takes sharp U-turn.} To be sure, Pakistan is nearly broke, and U.S. policy makers seem to be aware of that; but a worldwide demand crisis could lead to social unrest in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, Singapore, the Ukraine, Japan, Turkey or Egypt (which is facing an internal political crisis of epic proportions already). [COOLER] The U.S. won’t have the resources to, say, engineer the rescue of the peso again, or intervene in Asia as in 1997. [MUCH COOLER]

The public rhetoric from Team Obama seems to treat history as having ended in early October, [WARMER, YES] which is understandable; the priority right now is on the liquidity crisis, the structure of government and the peopling of the administration and the domestic economy. [WARMER] Most of the administration’s major policy voices don’t have the luxury of time to game out scenarios. Now — it can fairly be said that Treasury nominee Tim Geithner, himself an assistant secretary for international economic affairs during the Clinton administration, is aware of the precarious state demand in certain critical countries, [MUCH WARMER!] as is Larry Summers. The question: what’s the administration’s policy in this area? [VERY WARM AGAIN] {Another U-turn.} Which countries can we afford to let fail? Which unstable states would concern us the most? Is there something the U.S. can do, in advance, should do, in advance, to forestall the collapse of other economies? [COOLER]

Well…how about we forestall the collapse of OUR economy? I bet that would help.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Luke 6:41

1. The auto bailout — a proposed loan, by the way — represents about 2% of the money given to banks with absolutely no strings attached. See American Goy for details. Are the auto companies worthy of some disdain? Yes. But is the ratio of disdain proportionate, given that the banks have destroyed the entire world economy and successfully threatened us into giving them what is now estimated at $3.92 Trillion (with a T), no strings attached? No.

2. Blagojevitch. He’s stupid. He’s corrupt. And don’t we all know it. But how does he compare to the Bush/Cheney team, eh? Has he started any illegal wars of choice resulting in over a million deaths? No, I didn’t think so. And yet, George Bush is still around, having survived eight years of a murderous presidency, during which time he has presided over mind-boggling levels of corruption. Did he ever get indicted? Is the ratio of disdain heaped on Blagojevitch proportionate to his crimes, with Lincoln rolling over in his grave and all, in light of the cesspool of corruption our government has long become? No.

All thanks to the corporate media for beholding motes and perceiving not beams.

Important information here about events in Canada:

Harper’s “Civil Assistance Plan” documented by the Centre for Research on Globalization, under the SPP-NAU agenda, gives the right of the U.S. military to unilaterally cross into Canada for whatever cover story. This unconstitutionally reached “Executive Agreement” that was made sometime in February 2008, is apparently only the tip of the treasonous iceberg.

Did you also know apparently, that under “NORTHCOM”, Canada’s military is now under U.S. Presidential Executive Control?

Presumably, the Canadian military can also cross into the US if they are all under Bush’s control.

We don’t know what our globalists have in mind, but we know they have something in mind. We can expect it to be a very unpleasant surprise meant to beat the American people down, physically but especially psychologically. In order for Americans to accept the globalist agenda, the entire system must be shredded and crushed and destroyed beyond recognition. We must feel utterly hopeless. We must look to the leaders for help. We must be reduced to a shadow of our former selves, and then, as we meekly offer whatever little scraps of dignity and freedom we yet possess, they will deign to grant us so-called security.

Is that how you treat people you love? No. That’s why these disasters must always be blamed on terrorists, or natural disasters, or some particular scapegoats who can be safely thrown under the bus. Shoving normal people into certain waiting arms and getting away with it is the life’s work of many a fancy-pants think-tank smarm-peddler.

In the West, typically, the smartest students study humanities and social sciences, and the think-tanks as well as the Pentagon are populated with scores of PhDs in political science and history. What do you think they do there? What do you think they do at the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and the Carnegie Endowment for Peace? How about at CFR and RIIA? They are united in one common global agenda – world government. And they get there by shrewdly employing the overarching political science concept articulated by David Ben Gurion “what is inconceivable in normal times is possible in revolutionary times”!

It’s nothing but torture on a vast psychological scale. Plunge people into raging seas of despair, then toss them a life preserver, attached to a rope, of course. Then just pull ‘em in, gasping and choking and terrified.
