How the U.S. War Propaganda Machine Gets Us to Forget About the Iraq WMD Hoax
This isn't rocket science! We have the same tight little groups of people behind all these manufactured crimes that end up becoming cases of mass murder. And a fairly large number of them happen to have been our own members of the military over a span of decades. And we just keep letting them use our children as pawns for the benefit of the ruling class managing this delusional reality.
(The powers that be don’t have to destroy the counter-evidence for their propaganda to be effective. Getting people to believe propaganda, as Asimov pointed out, can be as simple as diverting society’s collective attention towards a new lie, one that many people will get unalterably invested in.)
(This ruling class fixation on social media activity and the online alternative press gives us a clue about how to defeat pro-war narratives. It’s shown that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the other biggest online platforms are major points of geopolitical influence, because acclimating popular sentiment towards war is an instrumental part of launching war efforts. If we continue to use these platforms to push back against establishment propaganda, the war machine won’t be able to dominate how this sentiment is shaped.)
Let us keep you up to date on the perception management used by the ruling class and their main stream media at "Out Of The Illusion " Group Walk out of the delusional reality they attempt to keep you engulfed in. Go into those social media sites armed with truth and the knowledge of knowing when your being lead down a rabbit hole.
I agree with you and I know that both parties play a role in this. People think I am ignorant for being on Facebook but my purpose there has nothing to do with likes or thumbs up. Many postings there are from other areas of media and the memes and words are to get responses to and about public issues in many ways - sales and politics being but a few. In the past I have successfully pushed ideas until someone picked it up as a slogan. That's why I am there.
Just struct me, The Military is like a Religious Organization … in that it allows coercive members to build a power structure within and exclusive to that organization. Then of course it’s always wanting more societal resources.
One of our political parties has been feeding & milking the Military for years - while their sons are often spared participation… It’s definitely a brainwashing institution - looking to do the same to society in general
Both parties play a roll in this! Don't be fooled by party tribalism.
@William_Mary Was a vote by mail monitor for ‘one party.’ The ‘tribalism’ I witnessed were the ‘military votes’ coming in …I’d say around 90% for the other party, and it wasn’t the Democrats..
The horseshit I continue to witness regarding statements like, ‘the other party does it too’ is just that - Horseshit. Where some candidates of one party may ‘take contributions’ from industry - the other party takes far far more… Where one party has played with Gerrymandering ..the other party has pushed it far far more..
Where one party may pay lip service to our military ..the other panders to them far far more. On and on like that … with numerous and varied examples.. This False Equivalency shit has got to be called!
@Varn I'm hear to tell you they're all in on the game against us together. As they use the media to manage the public's perception towards a delusional reality. Along with our intelligence agencies. Which is why these people (X agents and or military) are on our nightly main stream media sources to advocate for a perpetual warring on false narratives. Who have also recently targeted the democratic party. In 2018 alone there were 19 X intelligence agency or people of military background who ran for a position in government in that party. There's an agenda out there and both parties are working it on us. This country isn't moving to the right decade by decade simply by chance, it's on purpose. And Trump took us right into the realms of fascism with the help of both parties. One big leap for the American kind. If they just came right out and told you what they were doing, well they're not going to. SO, you get this>>>> [caitlinjohnstone.com]
@William_Mary “I'm hear to tell you they're all…...” Yes, you are - that’s my concern. You, knowingly or not, have become a Republican agent. Feed mistrust and voter apathy, turn off ‘average voters’ ...while the fanatics march to the polls to protect their guns, their god, or maintain their right to discriminate against gays…
I’m here to tell you - voting - or not - has consequences! Big one!
And “they're all in on the game against us together. ” Horse shit - it’s getting deep! How many candidates have you personally known, recruited, volunteered for ..and watched govern? For me - too many to count! Working ‘against us?’ No way! Big difference between the two parties, though.
One side owns several media outlets, the other depends on what’s left to tell the truth. Most do. But the fact ‘the truth’ reflects the words and behavior of one party rather than the other is not an indicator that ‘that party’ owns or has the resources to ‘use’ that media.
The other party, however - the one whose major backers do own media networks pump propaganda 24/7! But I don’t trust, support, watch or listen to them.. They are liars, backing a liar, protected by more liars - making up an entire of political party of liers!
It’s not the conspiracies I don’t know about that scare me - it’s the ones so blatantly obvious. And if you think convincing people their vote has no merit - no validity, makes no difference - Yes - you’re feeding appathey, complacency and cynicism. To what end? To pretend you’re right? To stand back and take no responsibility for how things are - because you were too afraid or lazy to support a decent candidate. So you attempt to smear them all?

Personally, I’ve more respect for those on the opposite side of me than those unwilling or incapable of lifting a finger to make a difference. And if I sound angry - I am. This shit is the chipping away at Democracy ...and just might take it away from us.
Stop it; run, support a candidate that can & will - then support the candidate furthest from what you oppose. Stop demanding purity, it can’t happen. A candidate both listens to their constituents, and thinks for themselves - neither decision will always please you. That’s just how it works.
Me and my kids hit the streets for one of our winners, she won again (3 terms). The longer she was in office … the more crap you’d hear from ‘our side’ bitching over some vote she made that ‘they didn’t like’ … while she voted 97% ‘the way they’d want.’ I never asked anything of her ...maybe, because I knew what she was up against and what it took to keep her there. Many didn’t, they demanded purity - as if every vote should have been cast in their favor… Dipshits..
These platforms are indeed powerful and can be used to oppose the war criminals who should be tried for their crimes against all of humanity. Free Assange, free Manning . . . . Fuck Israel, which is not a legitimate country . . . . they literally invaded Palestine, they were received there by Palestinians who accepted them, then they turned racist like the Nazis and expelled the Palestinians, who were in fact their benefactors early on. Propaganda is destroying justice, and we must fight it.
