Summer of Terrorism or "Catalyzing Events"? Media Stories with "Terrorism Experts" Cross-examined

CONTRACTED NEWS WIRES--HOW PROPAGANDA IS SPREAD THRU "FREE PRESS"

Americans need to examine just how they get their "news". (See also our article about Bill Moyer's documentary 'Buying the War'). It is no secret that news is designed like other consumer merchandising for mass consumption, and that it is disseminated through contracted newswires which local media buy and republish. For most newspapers this means that ALL of their national news is "contracted" through AP or another newswire, and they simply publish (or parrot) whatever the newswire writes, or now releases on video format. The potential for this is mass deception of the public (via controlling "free press") and a direct impact on immediate public opinion, unless the public cross-examines and plays the skeptic and more analytical position consistent with both liberty of conscience and more cautious deliberation. This is why alternative media, largely the internet, is becoming a new popular medium of obtaining news, apart from contract national newswires, which reasonable minds can no longer regard as trustworthy. (Local newspapers should also consider that simply being on the internet while continuing AP contracts, for reasons of ease of rapid publishing and economic pragmatism, will not increase their readership against alternative media).

The AP video title on our local newspaper's website (the same video contracted to thousands of newspapers country wide) states this (url is now closed):
Al-Qaida Works to Plant U.S. Operatives. Al-Qaida is stepping up its efforts to sneak terror operatives into the United States and has acquired most of the capabilities it needs to strike here, according to a new U.S. intelligence assessment, The Associated Press has learned. (July 12)
Questions and Causes for Doubt: How do they know, yet have "no specific evidence", as Homeland Security listens to email "chatter" (but cannot locate their ISPs)? What operatives? We were told of "sleeper cells" 6 years ago, but where? Are they still hiding? Why no attacks when anyone could do almost anything without check? You can know for certain that if any member of the public were to send any email or have an "extremist website" consisting of threats the FBI or other agencies of government could track you down in a New York minute! The idea of terrorists using websites is absurd, for that would spell their immediate end (disclosing their locations), unless of course it was desirable to let this propaganda be obtained by national media! (This is also a way to circumvent official government reporting of disinformation by letting sycophant media publish it as sensational "news", which then leads to debate on foreign and domestic policy. ABC and Brian Ross now appear to have a virtual monopoly on "terror news"). Yet the most spurious and incredible "sources" of terrorist claims and videos are mentioned in mainstream news as the basis for a terrorism news story or that 'attacks could be imminent". How does the public swallow this whole without choking?

PROPAGANDA MACHINERY AGAIN IN HIGH GEAR--SUMMER OF OPPORTUNITY

Of course, it is Presidential primary season, Bush is now facing republican opposition to the war (not just from Ron Paul now, but key Senators like Lugar and Warner), and the anniversary of 9/11 is coming up while the "war on terrorism" is looked upon with suspicion by the slowly awakening American people who no longer believe the "there is no doubt" rhetoric of a lying administration who "fixed [fabricated] the intelligence around the policy" to go to war! PROPAGANDA IS NEEDED TO REIGNITE THE DYING FIRES OF NEOCONSERVATIVE FANATICISM TO FURTHER THEIR AGENDA. It is no secret that the neocon plan includes the overthrow of Iran and that Dick Cheney has been laying plans (not President Bush?) to attack Iran on a "Second 9/11", which now Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has a "gut feeling" about without any "specific knowledge". How convenient! Why would terrorists attack, after 6 years of silence, just when Americans are pressuring to end war in Iraq, and prevent one from starting against Iran? Just who would would be behind such a "spectacular attack surpassing that of 9/11" and who would benefit most? The time is short for Cheney and the neoconservatives to implement their "regime change" blueprint for "a new middle east" before Bush's time in office (since "impeachment is off the table"--Pelosi) expires. Would it not be suspiciously coincidental for a (false flag, or provoked) "terrorist attack" to engage in new wars? Those who would answer "no" do not know the history of the first Pearl Harbor (see Day of Deceit in bookstore below), nor the Gulf of Tonkin facts which began Viet Nam, nor would dare review the simple facts of 9/11 which entirely refute the official story. Of course it also serves the purpose to remind the American public about 9/11, as if it gives carte blanch justification to do whatever they want.

WHO ARE THE "TERRORISM EXPERTS"?

Returning again to this particular video story recently from AP the film clip includes an interview with someone who has a subtitle "terror expert" during his very short statement, which basically says "they are planning to kill us every day", straight from the neoconservative catechism. Now this type of statement is so obviously propaganda, and obviously untrue (after 6 years of no terrorist incidents in the entire 50 contiguous states, filled with "sleeper cells" we were told in 2001) that it begs for a rational argument. Just who is this "terror expert" (we all want to know)? This man's name was Neil Livingstone. Now most of us would draw a blank at this point. Who? Should we not look into just what makes someone a "terror expert" to make such outrageous propaganda statements? A quick Google search turned up the answer as Mr. Livingstone is the Chairman and CEO of a company called ExecutiveAction, LLC. Again, what company is this? Going immediately to the board members I was in earnest to see if what I suspected was true, whether the board was infested with at least one key neoconservative figure, who would surely link this fake propaganda back to the secretive and powerful minions of the PNAC agenda. I was not disappointed, and my hypothesis was quickly proven true (again), for this very generic-labeled LLC, that sounds more like corporate consulting than an intelligence or military think tank, had this key neoconservative on the board:
R. James Woolsey Chairman, Advisory Board

Indeed, no light-weight neocon here--possibly the stealth mastermind of implementation behind neoconservative and Zionist plans for world domination via "Democracy" (while Islam is blamed for this very ambition)! And straight from the halls of the Project for New American Century, yes, former CIA director, militant unabashed Likudnik brand pro-Israel Zionist, who is a member of about as many neocon think tanks and propaganda fronts as Carters has pills. Note that clicking on his name brings up his biography which makes NO REFERENCE WHATSOEVER to his many neoconservative think tank memberships or the plethora of boards of which he is a part of. So let us list some of the organizations that Mr. Woolsey has been apart of, documented from RightWeb (an excellent source):

  • We can add to this his co-chairmanship on the advisory council for Frank Gaffney's Center for Security Policy (see their advisory council's membership!). And also add to this his board membership on American Congress for Truth (neither a "congress" nor truthful), the radical Zionist propaganda tank (Bridgett Gabriel, professional propagandist, who wrote a book Because they Hate) mainly designed to cast evil suspicion on all of Islam to inflame the "Clash of Civilizations" and fuel the "war on terrorism", mainly on behalf of Israeli interests, but also for world democracy (which rejects the Bible as much as the Koran), by fear-mongering Americans. This fanatical woman (who could be the subject of someone else's book "Why She Hates") comes across in interviews as the most irritating, brainwashed, high-strung, "kill them all" genocidal maniac who pretends to care about Christianity to inflame naive modern Christian listeners (who have different doctrines and beliefs than historical Christianity), primarily those who believe the 20th century judaizing heresy called Zionism. (This writer is not defending the false religion of Islam or its unholy Koran either and wishes agnostics would play the skeptic with that book as much as they attempt, vainly, with the Bible!) Her stories are built on the sensational, highly spurious accounts of how Muslims persecuted her and try to "kill everyone" that does not follow their religion (while we see little evidence of this in America and Britain today among Muslims) to inflame gullible minds. The problem with this is that some of us had Christian missionary friends who went to Beirut, Lebanon, over two decades ago, who never observed or made the same testimony (though there was concern about persecution) of what this firebrand claims. Are we to be blind to her neoconservative-Zionist affiliations or political and economic motives? Of course it is too politically incorrect to cross-examine her personal testimony which is defended (like all propaganda) through allegation, repetition, pure force, and "how dare you question" positioning.

    ABOUT "TERRORIST WEBSITES"

    There appears to be a very narrow funnel as to who actually collects and interprets these "terrorist websites"--which the most expensive Intelligence agencies in the world are incapable of using to locate or track said terrorists, but which conveniently are used, and their messages then broadcast to all America (aiding terrorism?) by sycophant media, while their authenticity is often officially questioned by government sources--and are of the most incredible and spurious content, quality, and timing. What would be the motivation behind such websites? Do they want to be found? Clearly this propaganda has a purpose more akin to persuading the American people toward an undefined "war on terror" otherwise the government would censor it.

    One primary source in particular
    , which bills itself as the "preferred source", from which news agencies and others receive and obtain "interpretations" of videos that suddenly appear, from the Arabic languages, is LauraMansfield.com which states this:

    Laura Mansfield is your preferred source for up-to-date, credible information from professionals who speak the language and understand the religion, history, and culture of the Islamic world. ...We bring you the most important translations of foreign press reports, jihadist videos, audios, and Arabic-language message boards on a daily basis.

    It is worth noting that this is the preferred source for the neocons who have deliberately lied to us and brought us false information, false intelligence about WMD, in order to justify the Iraq war. Laura Mansfield and James Woolsey in particular, seem to run frequently together in appearances and seminars. Should this not be questioned? May we not be objective about just WHO is providing the "expert" analysis, "translations", and other "jihadist" propaganda? In fact, here is a conference on the Roots of Islamic Terrorism, sponsored by America's Truth Forum, in which Mansfield, Woolsey, Bridget Gabriel, and advisors from Frank Gaffney's firm participate together toward a Christian audience.

    It is also a preferred source for major news networks, such as this recent "terrorism" ABC report here:

    The tape was first discovered by Arabic language specialist Laura Mansfield, who believes the release of the tape is timed to coincide with Pres. Bush's State of the Union address tomorrow and directed to an American audience.

    Note the timing of that tape. Just whose message does it reinforce? Now we have a new Bin Laden appearance, always before major elections and campaigns, always when the support for war is waning. Coincidence, or are the alleged terrorists stupid? Why does it always benefit a neoconservative agenda? Now we have documentation that the "new Bin Laden" tape was produced at least five years ago! And This Newsbusters post demonstrates the very point we make in this article, how the contracted news publishes this bin Laden propaganda video, and it appears to justify neoconservative policy, and Chertoff's "gut feeling":

    A terrorist website releases a tape of Osama Bin Laden, claiming it's new. And how do the MSM react? By rushing to air it, or in the case of wire services like AP, trumpet it in print. As of 6:30 A.M. EDT this morning, the AP story Bin Laden Appears in New al-Qaida Video was featured on Drudge.

    There's only one problem. A senior Bush administration official informs this NewsBuster that:

    "intelligence agencies have determined the video was previously aired as a portion of a longer show first on MBC TV (Middle East broadcast station) on April 17, 2002."

    Clearly then, someone is playing a "terrorist" game with American's minds, using very narrow sources for "expertise", and using, again, "intelligence fixed around the policy" for the American public, and disseminated by the American media.

    CONCLUSION

    SO HERE IS WHERE THE "TERROR EXPERT" PROPAGANDA COMES FROM IN A TYPICAL "TERROR" NEWS STORIES IN BOTH NATIONAL AND CONTRACTED WIRES PUBLISHED BY LOCAL MEDIA AND BROADCASTERS. THESE ARE THE "TERROR EXPERT" PRIMARY PLAYERS, AND TWO PRIMARY SOURCES, BEHIND LOCAL WCHS "58 Live" TALK RADIO INTERVIEWS BY MICHAEL AGNELLO THAT PROPAGANDIZE WEST VIRGINIANS AS "EXPERT ANALYSIS" WHILE CONCEALING THEIR NEOCONSERVATIVE DOCUMENTED AGENDAS TOWARD "BENEVOLENT WORLD HEGEMONY". (This is not a criticism of all of their political views expressed on the program, but an objective argument on this primary subject, especially because it is represented so often with Christian beliefs, including the propaganda of "Islamo Fascism" as an unquestionable doctrine of orthodoxy which all must therefore blindly believe to support imperialist wars and fascist domestic policies contrary to the Constitution). ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE CONNECTIONS BACK TO THE NEOCONSERVATIVES HIDING BEHIND PROPAGANDA FRONTS OF VARIOUS SORTS, LIKE THE ABOVE, AND START POINTING THIS OUT WHENEVER THE MEDIA PLAYS IT. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE THAT LIED TO JUSTIFY THE IRAQ WAR USING 9/11 AS THEIR "CATALYZING EVENT" PRETEXT AND DELIBERATE LIES ABOUT WMD.

    It is absolutely crystal clear that a pre-set agenda was locked and loaded before the "new Pearl Harbor" of 9/11 was executed by illusive perpetrators who had to have an intimate knowledge of U.S. flight and system defenses as well as carry out an attack that required piloting skills that were so extraordinary that expert pilots insist that not even the most trained could have pulled off the attacks with such precision against the WTC and Pentagon. It is absolutely clear just who benefited most and raised the propaganda to a fever pitch immediately on that infamous day, and who continue to charge and brand Islamic terrorists as the evil behind it all, while advancing their own agenda toward global democracy, through force:
    "The process of transformation is likely to be a long one,
    absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
    -- Project for a New American Century, Rebuilding America's Defenses; Sept. 2000

    "The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today."
    --President Bush's journal, allegedly recorded on 9/11
