How
can one see through the psyops of the Mighty Wurlitzer?
As
daunting as it might appear to the mainstream television watcher, it
is in fact rather straightforward for those unencumbered by blind
faith in governments and its statecraft.
Just
look for the core-lies and unquestioned axioms of empire that are
typically retained in the “leaks” and reportage which, in
order to sound credible, often openly expose what is mostly already
known anyway or judiciously employ some variation of “Limited
Hangout”
wrapped in a veneer of dissent, 'freedom of the press', and often
accompanied by the facade of angst and opposition from the state.
Furthermore,
look for some of the lauded dissent names rushing to support the
Limited Hangout – just as it was with Daniel Ellsberg for his
infamous Pentagon Papers – to afford a veneer of
legitimacy to the whistleblowing revelations of supposed
state-secrets having caused some great harm to the state. The
extravagance enacted in the mainstream media, alternately making
heroes of the whistleblowers and demonizing them, is a giveaway to
the circus show being enacted for plebeian consumption.
For,
it matters not which side one takes, as both sides are patently
false, crafted of calculated omissions and half-truths that retain
core-lies, right out of the text book of the Technique
of Infamy
: invent two lies and keep the public busy debating which of them
is true!
The
role of crafty omissions in fabricating propaganda was best captured
by Aldous Huxley in his Preface to Brave New World thusly:
‘The
greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing
something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still
greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. By
simply not mentioning certain subjects, by lowering what Mr.
Churchill calls an “iron curtain” between the masses
and such facts or arguments as the local political bosses regard as
undesirable, totalitarian propagandists have influenced opinion much
more effectively than they could have done by the most eloquent
denunciations, the most compelling of logical rebuttals. But silence
is not enough. If persecution, liquidation and the other symptoms of
social friction are to be avoided, the positive sides of propaganda
must be made as effective as the negative.’ — Aldous
Huxley, Preface (circa 1946) to Brave New World, 1931, Harper, pg. 11
To
uncover omissions in a discourse is very difficult for the public who
do not often have command over the domain in which the falsehoods are
being perpetuated. As the psychological insight already quoted above
from the Terrorism Study Group betrays, “'Public
Assumptions' Shape Views of History. Such presumptions are beliefs
(1) thought to be true (although not necessarily known to be true
with certainty), and (2) shared in common within the relevant
political community.”
Which
is why inculcating ignorance, especially political-historical
ignorance pertaining to international relations, and being made
trusting of authority figures and the state, are the pre-requisites
for any vile propaganda to succeed! A well bred lack of skepticism to
authority figures, to experts in scientific disciplines, and to
dissenting chiefs playing controlled opposition, thus becomes the
heart of social engineering for 'United We Stand'.
This
surfeit of blind trust in authority is what is ultimately harvested
by the Mighty Wurlitzer. For a skeptical public, the tunes of the
Mighty Wurlitzer would fall on very deaf ears and public governance
for private agendas would be well-nigh impossible in democratic
nations. This is qualitatively no different than the power exercised
by the religious clergy upon their faithful flock in any religion.
Except that modernity has perniciously replaced them with
multi-faceted secular clergies, the “experts”, each
demanding obedience from its own 'United We Stand' trusting flock in
all aspects of modern life.
This
is also why “leaking” information from “experts”
and “insiders” commands such a premium in Machiavellian
democratic statecraft. When used judiciously so as not to dilute its
impact, it can herd the flock in pretty much any direction that is
desired.
As
further empirically evidenced in the forensic analysis presented
here, these so called whistleblowing of leaky buckets also
succeed in accomplishing two important elements of statecraft:
vicariously
reinvigorate in the short-term public memory, the already
established-by-fiat facts and core-axioms of empire;
establish
new convenient facts on the ground which are subsequently accepted
as revealed gospel truths because of the already established
thought-stream by the scholars of empire that when something is held
in secret or is classified and subsequently declassified, or is
prematurely leaked to the public, that it must contain some genuine
“state secrets”, and never red herrings. Such
thought-streams enable the directives of NSC 10/2 for plausible
deniability (and those like it which we do not know about) to be
trivially impressed upon the public mind (see Anatomy
of Conspiracy Theory).
These revelations of presumed “state-secrets”
subsequently become the new unquestioned backdrops for both state
policies and public discourses – the new “doctrinal
motivations” – with copious help from the Mighty
Wurlitzer's refined machinery.
This
enables the successful deployment of already pre-planned policy
prescriptions which craftily impel the various incantations of
hegemony forward in baby-steps. Both, domestically by incrementally
clamping down hard on rising discontent in the name of “national
security”, and internationally by continuing to wage unpopular
wars of preemption upon the 'untermenschen'. The infernal enemy has
now been (re)confirmed to exist (despite popular skepticism) since
even empire's own henchmen in their secret documents also affirm that
belief (sic!). Speak of self-servingly suffering from a incestuously
self-reinforced “crippled epistemology”!
The
grandmaster of The Grand Chessboard himself, in his volt face
half-truth laced testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee in 2007, confirmed the deconstruction of statecraft being
done in this report: “To argue that America is already at
war in the region with a wider Islamic threat, of which Iran is the
epicenter, is to promote a self-fulfilling prophecy.” (see
full quote below)
But
earlier, the same Jewish architect of inflicting America's hegemony
upon the world, Zbigniew Brzezinski, in his 1996 book The Grand
Chessboard had un-abashedly examined the need for such
invigorations of the public mind and the very promotion of
self-fulfilling prophecies as a basic military tactic in order to
assert American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives. As
the former National Security Advisor under President Carter, and
think-tank advisor to all subsequent occupants of the White House
without prejudice, a diabolical strategist for the one-world
oligarchic agenda primarily working for David Rockefeller who
appointed him the first executive director of the Trilateral
Commission, Brzezinski with his imposing resume (see Zbigniew
Brzezinski
) betrays a shrewd comprehension of Machiavellian statecraft's
reliance on social engineering. Here is a snippet for the absolute
necessity of controlling the public mind for “imperial
mobilization”:
“It
is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be
autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially
its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a
populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the
pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except
in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense
of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is defense
spending), and the human sacrifice (casualties even among
professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to
democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial
mobilization.” (pgs. 35-36) ;
“Public
opinion polls suggest that only a small minority (13 percent) of
Americans favor the proposition that 'as the sole remaining
superpower, the US should continue to be the preeminent world leader
in solving international problems'. ... Moreover, as America becomes
an increasingly multicultural society, it may find it more difficult
to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the
circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external
threat. .... More generally, cultural change in America may also
be uncongenial to the sustained exercise abroad of genuinely imperial
power. That exercise requires a high degree of doctrinal
motivation, intellectual commitment, and patriotic gratification.”
(page 211 and onwards, PDF
book)
The
diabolical utility of planting of “'Public Assumptions'
[that] Shape Views of History” and therefore of current
affairs, as the “doctrinal motivation”
which can create “intellectual commitment”,
and is rewarded by “patriotic gratification”,
in this 'War on Terror' against the vile Militant Islam's torch
bearers, the Islamofascists, cannot escape the careful reader's
attention. It has wonderfully enabled “America's power,
especially its capacity for military intimidation.”
Catastrophic
Terrorism
The
Terrorism
Study Group
in fact took up the future foretelling in 1997-1998 where
Brzezinski's self-serving clairvoyance had left off in 1996 with his
pithy diabolical wisdom in The Grand Chessboard: “Democracy
is inimical to imperial mobilization.” Phil Zelikow,
the future 9/11 Commission Executive Director, led the so called
study on Catastrophic
Terrorism.
It presaged, on October 15, 1998, a full three years before 9/11, how
that instinctual aversion of America's democratic public to “imperial
mobilization” would be overcome by the United States
striking out in response to catastrophic terrorism on its soil:
“An
act of catastrophic terrorism that killed thousands or tens of
thousands of people and/or disrupted the necessities of life for
hundreds of thousands, or even millions, would be a watershed event
in America’s history. It could involve loss of life and
property unprecedented for peacetime and undermine Americans’
fundamental sense of security within their own borders in a manner
akin to the 1949 Soviet atomic bomb test, or perhaps even worse.
Constitutional liberties would be challenged as the United States
sought to protect itself from further attacks by pressing against
allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects,
and the use of deadly force. More violence would follow, either
as other terrorists seek to imitate this great ‘success’
or as the United States strikes out at those considered responsible.
Like Pearl Harbor, such an event would divide our past and future
into a ‘before’ and ‘after.’” ---

The
reality du jour exactly matches the doctrinal presaging done years in
advance. America today is a police-state continually “pressing
against allowable limits in surveillance of citizens, detention of
suspects”, “the use of deadly force”
is ubiquitous, and is fully engaged in a perpetual war of “imperial
mobilization”, ahem, 'war on terror' against some Ali
Baba, which its own former director of the CIA calls “World War
IV” (see CNN report Thursday, April 3, 2003: Ex-CIA
director: U.S. faces 'World War IV').
Its next target: Iran.
Predictably,
with rising skepticism among the public on the utility of pursuing
endless wars against illusive enemies that is making their own nation
go bankrupt, more “harmful leaks” from assets like
Wikileaks will occur, but understandably none which are actually
substantial. Like, blowing the lid on 9/11 as an inside job,
directly naming the top beneficiaries who shorted the Airline stocks
raking in billions, or revealing how BBC came to report the
demolition of WTC-7 a full 20 minutes before it actually transpired,
never mind lending confirmation to any of the forensic detective work
by independent researchers from the debris of 9/11, etceteras. And
the main leaker du jour, Mr. patsy Julian Assange, like Mr. patsy Lee
Harvey Oswald before him, will be sacrificed, perhaps with a new
'lone gunmen' enactment, or perhaps juridically, to lend the hoopla
even more public respectability. Also see Dismantling
the Fiction of 'Former' and 'Ex' Intelligence – Zahir Ebrahim's
Response to Philip Giraldi.
It’s
the exact same recipe as is used by all the other fabricated and
controlled dissent assets of empire when they are not outright
spinning patent lies, for spinning half-truths requires far more
brilliance. One can already see the main dissent-chiefs of the West,
like the venerable professor Noam Chomsky, anointed by the New York
Times as “arguably the most important intellectual alive”,
and the distinguished Daniel Ellsberg, excitedly supporting these
Wikileaks exposés as if something ethereal was “revealed
in the Sinai” (borrowing that diction from Elie Wiesel).
It
is not for nothing that James Jesus Angleton, Head of CIA Counter
Intelligence 1954-1974, is quoted in the 1992 BBC-2 Documentary on
Operation
Gladio:
“Deception is a state of mind and the mind of the State”.
See: Angleton
(1917 - 1987).
Manufacturing Dissent with controlled opposition is an indispensable
core construct of that very statecraft of deception. See:
'Manufacturing
Dissent: Weapons of Mass Deception – The Master Social
Science'.
Gladio
Surrogate Terror
Such
ex post facto disingenuousness is evidently part and parcel of full
spectrum “imperial mobilization” in every era.
Thus there is surely something to be learned by examining what
transpired during the Cold War for its demand creation and
maintainnence. Otherwise, what's the grand purpose of studying
history?
Witness
the following from the period of the Cold War, where synthetic terror
was used in Western Europe in order to convince the increasingly
skeptical public that the Communist threat was real requiring the
continuous heightened state of alert and rising military expenditures
at the expense of domestic spending – all revealed ex post
facto by the BBC documentary in 1992 on NATO's Operation
Gladio.
Part-3
of the Gladio documentary has the following lovely statement
quoted from the US Army's Top Secret Field Manual:
“Top
Secret: There may be times when host country governments show
passivity or indecision in the face of Communist subversion ... US
Army Intelligence must have the means of launching special operations
which will convince host country governments and public opinion of
the reality of the insurgent danger ... US Army Intelligence
should seek to penetrate the insurgency by means of agents of special
assignments, with the task of forming special action groups among the
most radical elements of the insurgency.”
Replacing
“Communist subversion” in the text above with
“Islamofascist terror” makes what is being stated in this
report obvious. See Insurgency
vs. Counter-Insurgency
( http://tinyurl.com/what-is-insurgency
) in order to relate that US Army Field Manual recipe of yesteryear
with the present. In the year 2042, or even as early as 2032, surely
by 2052, an updated BBC documentary will confirm it all, with at
best, a mere tsk, tsk, and the all knowing
characteristic nod at the imperial craftsmanship of empire. A new
generation of Noam Chomsky legatees will emerge with new best-selling
books waiving their sublime morality at empire (see Hegelian
Dialectic of Dissent
below) and will get to occupy prestigious chairs in the academe as
the new conscience of the world in one-world government.
What
appears to be out of control Terrorism worldwide in 2014, and which
is continuing to extract its pound of flesh from the
sovereignty of nation-states faster than any other global crisis to
date, can easily be comprehended when NATO's Operation Gladio of
yesteryear is employed as the political science template. The
motivations and the forces that drive global terrorism is writ large
in that most empirical exposure of state sponsored terror disguised
as “insurgency”. To make it believable and plausible,
real insurgents are created, and existing insurgent groups,
especially those with existential discontents, are infiltrated, and
their destructive energies channeled in service of larger political
agendas of which often the patsies themselves remain unaware of. The
evidence from CIA's
MK ULTRA
program of yesteryear, and the empirical suicide bombings in the
terrorism acts today, indicate to those who can observe rationally
with even an iota of brain functioning, that the art of manufacturing
the perfect Manchurian Candidate has been perfected. And so
has its deployment on demand as in Operation Gladio.
No
intelligence apparatus in any country, no news media, no
establishmentarian politician to scholar to military man, nor any of
the touted intellectuals playing dissent with the establishment's
narratives, go there. Why not? Because there are always substantial
tangible and intangible, as well as existential rewards to be gained
by silence. It is always beneficial to continue to play the fool, the
patsy, and the willing mercenary. See: Operation
Gladio Yesterday and Worldwide Terrorism Today – Identifying
the Enemy,
and Imperial
Surrogates and 'Terror Central' in Operation Gladio Redux.
See The
Dying Songbird
to comprehend the co-option of the intellectuals and how they
diabolically mislead and misdirect the public conscience. They shall
all be ceremoniously anointed “arguably the most important
truth-tellers and intellectuals” tomorrow for their brilliant
ex post facto exposés of the state deceptions of today, just
as they are heralded today for their dry study of yestercentury and
its war crimes.
That
is the real import of the craftsmanship of the Mighty Wurlitzer!
To engineer a fait accompli by manufacturing consent among the
gullible masses and controlling dissent among the rabble rousers when
“imperial mobilization” is still on-going, leaving
future scholars, historians, and the odd malcontent to laudingly
study the ashes, mea culpae, confessions, documentaries,
de-classified documents, and strategic rattings left behind by
“history's actors”. A diabolical modus operandi of
democratic statecraft which the Mighty Wurlitzer's operators even
brazenly gloat about:
'“We're
an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while
you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act
again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and
that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and
you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”'
(Ron Suskind, New York Times, Oct.
17, 2004)
It
is now patently obvious with the Obama Administration officially
declaring Osama Bin Laden killed in an American raid on May 1, 2011,
why Wikileaks had to “leak” the officialdom's belief that
he was still alive in July 2010! It is all too evident that some
mileage is being derived by officially burying that nemesis at sea, a
thousand miles from where they proclaim they killed him in an ambush
in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Conveniently, it was in Pakistan and not
Afghanistan that mankind's toughest and most resourceful nemesis was
found and killed. The color coded threat alerts instantly went up
worldwide. Pakistan Navy presumably already suffered a bizarre
revenge attack on its naval base in Karachi from Ali Baba's elusive
organization still intact, and now even more formidable than ever
before. And its base of operation? Of course Pakistan!
Just
as George W. Bush Jr., had intimated was the new Terror
Central:
“If
another September 11 style attack is being planned, it probably is
being plotted in Pakistan, and not Afghanistan”!
Brzezinski's
unraveling of that Bushism in his SFRC testimony quoted above
notwithstanding, was the 43rd President of the United States, George
W. Bush Jr., just inordinately insightful to predict such matters as
he was preparing to hand the presidential charge to his successor on
the “change” platform? Carefully dissecting the nature of
such self-serving propagandistic clairvoyance can perhaps also help
the public to become shrewdly clairvoyant in their own self-defense
in these often confusing matters on international relations.
Especially on what's likely to come as the next global mythical
terror threat in the aftermath of Osama Bin Laden. Let's briefly
review how the terrorism of 9/11 was continually foretold by the
masters of discourse themselves – for that will surely show the
public how to treat their next bit of self-serving fortune telling.
