World Stage Actors: Terrorism and Propaganda Rules

January 14, 2010

While acknowledging disturbing facts and ridiculing assertions within the article, “Republican Fear has Given the Terrorists an Easy Victory,” a much more revealing level of clarity could be achieved – if another explicit step was taken.  Some of our (MS) media members convey bewilderment – while calling certain republicans out with terms like (ongoing) “amnesia.”  But, rarely does a member go the extra (bold) mile by directly identifying what they are actually doing – on purpose.  It is not because of momentary “amnesia” or mistaken/uninformed presentations when they publicly state that “no terrorist attacks occurred on Bush’s watch.”  The same applies to their relentless focusing on the three days it took for Obama to respond to the Underpants Bomber – while Bush’s six days to respond to the Shoe Bomber are seemingly forgotten.  They know, precisely, what they are doing.  It is all part of a concerted talking points Act.  (The fronted foundations are as real and genuine as Beck’s Tears: He did not truly believe Sarah Palin was [pretending to quote from his personal journal] “one of the only people . . . that [could] possibly lead us out of where we [were].”  Based on provided lines and theatrical props, two (wholly controlled) players were just filling their roles/reading their lines.  The entire premise was a formulated camera setup: everything seen and heard was simulated for a fictitious FOXworld.)  It is conscious – and on purpose.  This is their (continuing) Big LIES campaign.  To them, it’s just politics – without boundaries.  (Anyone having a problem with that is just weak – and a possible target.)  The “B Movie” outrage is as fake as the utterly insulting Scripts: “Oh My God!”:  “Death Panels!”  Incredible and entirely manipulative equations like “Pres. Obama Reacts to Haiti Earthquake Faster Than Christmas Bomber” (deliberately) serve to allow the following (Staged) reactions.

“Today, it’s Liz Cheney and her fear-mongering commercials.  It’s Peter King, who’s been all over cable news hyperventilating into a paper sack since Christmas.  It never ceases to amaze me how a faction of allegedly tough-talking conservatives can be so easily frightened by a kid with exploding underpants who couldn’t even do it right.”

People like Liz Cheney and Peter King are not “so easily frightened.”  They need to be boldly confronted with what they are obviously doing: acting and lying, beyond all moral senses.

The purpose of terrorism is to provoke an overreaction.  Its real aim is not to kill the hundreds of people directly targeted but to sow fear in the rest of the population.”’

One element of full-scale propaganda is for prominent public figures to intentionally overreact – in unison.  In turn, when other prominent public figures rise to the latter occasions by directly defining their measures, as well as exposing their Acts, tremendous offsetting of the propagandists’ success can be made (while further enlightening / empowering the besieged public).
