If anyone wants to understand how it’s all done, a five minute walk in a big city will do. With the instant just about everything now available, the way people are packed like sardines in a can in the cities, it just knocks people into a “get the hell out of my way!” mode and results in people seeing instead of other people, just too many bodies that are in the way. Such a state creates a mind programmer’s paradise. Just send the stress machine into spin cycle and it’s a walk in the park as far as the control system is concerned. This is but one of many of the basic tools and causes for why the so called sheeple are so “dumb”. It isn’t necessarily an issue of dumb or smart, but actually degrees of programming. Otherwise the hypocritical way the Iranian elections have been covered would have been met with a bullshit call day one. So yes, focus is the beginning of the way out.
As soon as I heard a newsdroid say the first couple of sentences about the Iranian presidential elections and what was supposedly going on there I was calling it.
It is laughable to paint the Iranian system as anything resembling democracy. By law, Mr. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s twelve member Guardian Council has the exclusive right to select candidates, and then the people place their ballots. That this has not even been addressed when it is a matter of public record, is suspect. Will of the people, schmeple. Last year during the American presidential election it was reported that Barack Obama got no votes in New York’s Harlem and other historically Black American districts. This was quickly marginalized in the mainstream media and has never been brought up again since, just as the obvious Bush election steal was before it.
In Iran, the heist is of the country and of minds. Chris Floyd of Empire Burlesque writes:
Similarly, the Iranian opposition leader Mir Hussein Moussavi is universally depicted as a “moderate.” Yet, as Professor As’ad AbuKhalil points out, when Moussavi was Iran’s prime minister under Ayatollah Khomeini, he “presided over a regime far more oppressive than Ahmadinajad’s.” AbuKhalil’s take on the hypocrisy of the Western media coverage on Iran is worth quoting more fully:
…there is so much hypocrisy in the Western coverage and official reactions to the developments. Most glaring for me was the statement by the secretary-general of the UN who insisted on the respect of the will of the Iranian people. Would that US designate utter such words, say, about Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and other dictatorships that are approved by the US? …I am in no way sympathetic to Moussavi. He is a man who suddenly discovered the virtues of democracy. When he was prime minister back in the 1980s, he presided over a regime far more oppressive than Ahmadinajad’s. And why has no Western media really commented on his rhetoric during his own campaign: the man kept saying that he wants a “return” to the teachings of Khomeini. I in no way support a man who wants a “return” to the teachings of Khomeini.
Of course, Moussavi — like some other politicians we could mention — has now become, for millions of people, an emblem for genuine changes and reforms that he probably has no desire or intention to enact, even if given the chance. Like Barack Obama, he is of the power structure, and would, in end, no doubt act for the power structure. (Albeit with minor mitigations which, as we’ve often noted in regard to American politics, can also mean real differences in the lives of many individuals, and thus are not to be airily dismissed — although such an acknowledgement in no way requires an endorsement or acceptance of the overall power structure in which these mitigations occur, or of any particular mitigator in that system.)
Whenever the mainstream newsdroids keep on repeating go give to this organization or do this, I always sit up in my seat. For example, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the levees breaking, it was, give to the Red Cross, a great place to give is to the Red Cross. And Bush said to give cash donations. On the Northern Vermont Red Cross chapter’s website, it is stated:
The Board of Governors of the American Red Cross delegates authority and responsibility to the Board of Directors of each chapter for governance of the chapter; delivery of authorized serv-ices in the chapter’s jurisdiction; and meeting corporate obligations to comply with corporate regulations.
The Board of Governors is composed of fifty people selected from volunteers affiliated with lo-cal chapters across the United States. The President of the United States, who acts as honorary chairman of the Red Cross, appoints eight of the Board’s members and selects the chairperson. Thirty members are elected by local chapters. Twelve members are chosen by the Board of Governors.
The IRS classes it as a government instrumentality, which means that it is run by a branch of the US government. A big scandal broke out after 9/11 when the Red Cross kept hundreds of millions of dollars of donations meant for families. They blamed Bernadine Healy, the American Red Cross President, but who was really responsible for handling the instrument then? Somehow I think it a no-brainer.
And now Twitter and social networking sites are also being promoted. Paul Joseph Watson of PrisonPlanet.com in his MySpace Is The Trojan Horse of Internet Censorship, says of MySpace:
MySpace has been caught shutting down blogs critical of itself and other Murdoch owned companies. They even had the audacity to censor links to completely different websites when clicking through for MySpace. When 600 MySpace users complained, MySpace deleted the blog forum that the complaints were posted on. Taking their inspiration from Communist China, MySpace regularly uses blanket censorship to block out words like ‘God’.
Earlier this week Rupert Murdoch sounded the death knell for conventional forms of media in stating that the media elite were losing their monopoly to the rapid and free spread of new communication technologies. Murdoch stressed the need to regain control of these outlets in order to prevent the establishment media empire from crumbling.
MySpace is Rupert Murdoch’s trojan horse for destroying free speech on the Internet. It is a foundational keystone of the first wave of the state’s backlash to the damage that a free and open Internet has done to their organs of propaganda. By firstly making it cool, trendy and culturally elite for millions to flock to establishment controlled Internet backbones like MySpace, Murdoch is preparing the groundwork for the day when it will stop being voluntary and become mandatory to use government and corporate monopoly controlled Internet hubs.
This is supported by this well done short video showing the links between Facebook, the CIA, and DARPA. Facebook, Digg, reddit, Wikipedia, and MySpace have faced devastating blows to their credibility over the past few years, and now here’s the chance to slap the blinkers back on the herd once again and put them back in the “trendy” pen where their minds can be picked and programmed. Barack Obama and his wrecking crew took a big gamble admitting the CIA’s role in overthrowing the Iranian government in 1953. So covert ops are now being taken to a whole new level of subtlety. It has always come out every time that these social networking sites are owned by the people at the hidden tables. I have no doubt that the same is the case with Twitter.
Playing on the public’s lack of knowledge and overloaded memory queue, this Mir Hussein Moussavi is being cast somewhat in the mold of a Middle East Martin Luther King Jr., a dogged man fighting against the odds, trying to rise up against a tyrannical, primitive, repressive regime when in fact he represents the very continuance of such.
The severe Internet and freedom of speech restrictions are also ripe for classic good cop/bad cop MSM theater, and of course, this is what we have here. The Iranians are seen as even more naive because of these overt restrictions. To add in an extra layer of manipulation agents are no doubt being activated, like in so many South and Central American nations with Communism, to try and steer their emotions in a way that they themselves give the consent for yet another round of dictatorship. Paul Craig Roberts, writing for Infowars.com notes:
Today the street demonstrations in Tehran show signs of orchestration. The protesters, primarily young people, especially young women opposed to the dress codes, carry signs written in English: “Where is My Vote?” The signs are intended for the western media, not for the Iranian government.
More evidence of orchestration is provided by the protesters’ chant, “death to the dictator, death to Ahmadinejad.” Every Iranian knows that the president of Iran is a public figure with limited powers. His main role is to take the heat from the governing grand Ayatollah. No Iranian, and no informed westerner, could possibly believe that Ahmadinejad is a dictator. Even Ahmadinejad’s superior, Khamenei, is not a dictator as he is appointed by a government body that can remove him.
The demonstrations, like those in 1953, are intended to discredit the Iranian government and to establish for Western opinion that the government is a repressive regime that does not have the support of the Iranian people. This manipulation of opinion sets up Iran as another Iraq ruled by a dictator who must be overthrown by sanctions or an invasion.
On American TV, the protesters who are interviewed speak perfect English. They are either westernized secular Iranians who were allied with the Shah and fled to the West during the 1978 Iranian revolution or they are the young westernized residents of Tehran.
And no one would ever think that here in America, independent inventors, doctors and scientists who work so hard to bring ways of health and life freedom to the public are being viciously raided by the FDA. That elderly and pregnant women aren’t being tasered by some of the more bloodthirsty cops who should be sitting with the criminals they bust. You’d think that vote fraud didn’t happen with the Bushes. You’d think that the Obama administration wasn’t trying to introduce legislation that was opposed by pretty much everyone. It only happens in countries with guys with names you can barely pronounce, right?
Obama is the fresh shill on the block, the perfect guy to sweet talk the Iranians. Dark skin coloration just like them, Arab middle name for the ambiguous “he’s probably a secret Muslim that needs to lay low” cover. Just as in feudal Japan or China, there are factions of the hidden hand as well. One is the Zbigniew Brzezinski/Barack Obama/global warming group, and the other seems to be the war on terror/Zionist/neocon group. The information in this article seems so on the mark, especially in light of recent events, such as John Kerry and Obama coming out and saying it’s ok for Iran to have nuclear power.
According to investigative researcher Webster Tarpley, power in Washington has shifted away from the neocon “rogue” faction of the elite to the Trilateral faction that stands behind Obama (”US Policy Shift On Iran-Iraq Again Shows Brzezinski Rules In Washington”). This faction seeks to redirect the American Empire’s hostilities away from Iran and focus them on Russia and China (ibid). Such a plan requires that Iran be transformed into an asset, which means that Tehran’s efforts to procure nuclear weapons may even be tolerated, so long as Iran is willing to act as a nuclear proxy of the American Empire (ibid). Iran has long desired to revive the Persian Empire, and Trilateralists such as Carter’s former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski believe that they can insure that a revived Persian Empire is merely an extension of the American Empire.
Unless the Iranians wake up and start seeing that West is not always best, I see myself shaking my head in sorrow for the millionth time.
