US. State Department v. ISIS Propaganda War: John Oliver (Video)

The U.S. State Department's "Run - Don't Walk - To ISIS Land" (No, I'm not kidding.  Yes, that's the actual title.) Video Was Predicated On That Agency's Unfounded Hope/Wishful Thinking That Potential ISIS Recruits/Militants Understood Sarcasm.

Doesn't the U.S. State Department know that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"...?

John Oliver - Ironic Propaganda

CNN's Ashleigh Banfield Asks If Jefferson Memorial Is Equal To Confederate Flag

"After the mass murder of nine black churchgoers by a white gunman in Charleston, South Carolina... CNN host Ashleigh Banfield asked co-host Don Lemon whether... we should also take down a memorial to former President Thomas Jefferson because of his slave ownership:

"Thomas Jefferson owned slaves -- third president of the United States. And there is a monument to him in the capital city of the United States. No one ever asks for that to come down. Is it equal [to the Confederate flag]?"

Lemon shot down the comparison."

===> Make No Mistake, Friends...
CNN is an arm of the Time-Warner Mega-Media Corporation. They don't do anything that isn't scripted and hasn't been given the official stamp of approval from the very top. If you haven't noticed, CNN is the only network news being broadcast in every major airport in the United States (and, likely, most of the minor ones). And, this isn't just a remarkable nationwide coincidence. It's Planned. It's Policy. It's Propaganda.

CNN is a major - if not THE major - propaganda outlet for the U.S. Federal Government.

Propaganda is a tool.  And, propaganda is a weapon.  And, it's one weapon that our federal government doesn't hesitate to wield against it's own populace.  To wield against "We, The People...".

Why would CNN raise this flag? Why would they take this shot across the bough at Thomas Jefferson?

Yes, Jefferson - a wealthy, white, land-owner - owned slaves in his lifetime.

But, he also "thought that slavery was contrary to the laws of nature, which decreed that everyone had a right to personal liberty. These views were radical in a world where unfree labor was the norm." Jefferson included a passage attacking slavery in his draft of the Declaration of Independence (Read it here: http://www.blackpast.org/…/declaration-independence-and-deb…). It was removed at the behest of delegates from South Carolina and Georgia and those who represented northern merchants in the slave trade.

Richard Dolan inferred (and I concur) that the reason CNN took a swipe at Thomas Jefferson was because of his positions on personal liberty and on banking institutions. In an 1816 letter to John Taylor, Jefferson said:

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.".

1.) Individual/Personal Liberty/Freedom and
2.) Freedom From Being Indebted To Banking Institutions -For Perpetuity...
... are the two Jeffersonian ideals that Ashleigh Banfield - under orders from her bosses at CNN... who, in turn, were under orders from multi-national umbrella corporation Time-Warner - was attacking.

How many licks does it take...

Ding...Dong...Zarqawi's "Dead"..... Again.
I have so many doubts about the reliability of anything... Sheesh!... Everything that is reported in the mainstream press. Have doubted the veracity of their stories for longer than I can remember. Maybe it isn't all of their fault...maybe it is just that they are repeating what they were told by the "authorities"/spin secretaries. Maybe they should begin their news broadcasts with a disclaimer..."Everything we report to you tonight as "news', may or may not be true and may be retracted/revised at a later date." Sounds a lot like the "We can neither confirm not deny...." line of the intelligence community (...and I use that term loosely.)

Re: Zarqawi:
I came across a posted response to a Blog (on Blogger's "The Truth Will Set You Free") that piqued my interest...basically it poses the question... "If a fire on a few floors of the WTC can cause it to fall in on itself, (...don't get me started on that one...oh boy!) how is it that 1000 lbs of military explosive ordinance dropped on Zarqawi seems to have only left his body with a bloody nose? What's he made of? I guess he ate his Wheaties. The rubble that was the "safe-house" he was in fared far worse than he did. Besides, isn't this the 3rd or 4th time he's been killed? I guess previous reports of his "...death have been greatly exagerrated."

The "Good News" is that, whether or not it is true, if this spec-ops attack was orchestrated to try to impede the free-fall of Bush's ratings (which ripples out to damage his party), and be a image booster/photo-op, it failed miserably. Bush, when talking about the reported death of Zarqawi, decided to invoke the names of the Americans Zarqawi (allegedly, there's no evidence it was he, they all had masks on) beheaded. The father of one young man, now a Green Party candidate for office, said he took no joy in Zarqawi's death. He said that both the terrorists in Iraq and the terrorists in D.C. (my terms for them) just keep going back and forth lobbing violent vengeful acts at each other and it will never stop until someone on one of the sides says, "Enough! I am not going to participate in this violence anymore!". (Good Luck!) He also said that he won't be happy until our troops are home and Bush is "...gone.". I second that emotion!!

And another thing...
Regarding: "The Canadian 17".
There seems to be a sudden silence in the press about the 12 men and 5 boys arrested and facing domestic terrorism charges in Canada. Considering the 'authorities' claimed that they planned to attack the Parliament and "behead" the Prime Minister (what an terror-izing thing to say.)... Well... I just think that, if the allegations were true and backed up by real evidence, wouldn't that deserve some more ink or airtime?

One other thing regarding them.... What 'terrorist' worth his or her salt would be soooo stupid as to purchase excessive amounts of the chemicals/ingredients necessary to build a bomb, in a way that can be traced back to them??? I am sure there are other ways. Also, I have heard that they were aware that they were under surveillance...yet gleefully continued to attempt to manufacture mayhem..... Hmmmm.... Curiouser and curiouser.

?
What better way to manufacture support for militarism/suppression of Constitutional and Civil Rights than make it look like there are boogeymen here, there..and ....Oh my God! ... Look Out! ... They are Everywhere! And they want to behead the Canadian Prime Minister! Those bastards!!!

Don't worry...it will all be over soon. :-)
