Media wars- Mainstream media the greatest tool to sway public opinion in favor of war…

To this day many people still see mainstream media as a good reliable source of information but is this the case? . Again i will point out why people need to find other sources of info from alternative media outlets etc and not to souly rely on what the tv screen is saying. Throughout the decades media has been used to sway public opinion from presidential elections to the invasion of sovereign country’s. Most mainstream media outlets such as BBC,CNN and FOX usually tend to skirt around the edges of events without really delving into the story or if needs be they make the story. In the 1950’s the CIA launched ‘Operation Mockingbird’ this operation was to subdue free press and to control what was and was not for public consumption. In 1948 Frank Wesner was director of (OSP) Office of policy coordination which then ended up becoming the espionage and counter-intelligence branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. The director Frank Wesner was told to create a organization that would specialize in “propaganda, economic warfare; preventive direct action, including sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures; subversion against hostile states, including assistance to underground resistance groups, and support of indigenous anti-Communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.” Soon after the establishment of this organization Frank Wesner launched ‘Operation Mockingbird’ which also aimed to control not only domestic news but international news outlets as well. The CIA at one stage had over 400 agents planted throughout the media world from newspapers to Mainstream media outlets to small magazines. This operation was one that aimed to pull the wool over peoples eyes which in large part succeeded up. For decades Wesner was trying to find other ways to convince the public that communism was a very real threat to them and their way of living. Fast forward to today and we have another bogey man. The threats of terror attacks after 9/11 was ramped up turning public opinion in the direction the government wished. The ramping up of FEAR driven media was one of the main reasons the Iraqi invasion went ahead barely opposed by the public. Now we all know that what we were told at the time about chemical weapons etc was all a lie a pretext to invade but hindsight is a wonderful thing. The reasons behind the invasion are still debated. These tactics serve to bolster those individuals and organizations arguments for war playing on peoples emotions and also sowing chaos among peoples of what ever country finds itself in the cross hairs. If we move on to the NATO lead invasion of Libya which marked another turning point in the media/information wars. Media outlets ran with the narratives of the establishments without evidence or a clear idea of what was actually taking place inside the country at the time. This lead to the death of thousands and the mass lynching of African migrants who the media labeled mercenaries of Colonel Gaddafi. The lies continued reports came thick and fast that Libyan forces were actually taking Viagra to rape woman and that the Colonels forces were slaughtering people on the streets.. (http://humanrightsinvestigations.org/2011/07/07/libya-ethnic-cleansing/) There was no evidence at all to suggest this was true or that mercenaries were in fact being brought in to fight for Gaddafi. This just turned out to be another feeble to play on the heart strings of the public and to ultimately push public opinion in favor of a NATO led invasion of Libya. During the staged revolution that was taking place it was being sold to the world as a revolution of the people but as we know now this was also nothing more than a manufactured lie for the reasons i stated above. As the conflict was in full swing some mainstream outlets namely Al Jazeera and Sky news went as far as showing videos of celebrations that were purportedly taking place in Libya’s Green square in the capital of the country. The video and images actually turned out to have been a staged event that had taken place in Qatar.(http://stopwarcrimes.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/al-jazeeras-fake-green-square/) Throughout the coverage images from other revolutions and celebrations were also aired for example BBC showed pictures of an event that looks to actually have taken place somewhere in India while the crowd waved the Indian flag. This is an insult of the peoples intelligence. The BBC hoped that maybe no one would notice these deceptions. If we fast forward to the Syrian conflict we will see the exact same tactics being applied to sway public opinion. One of those most noticeable fabrications of events on the ground was that of the nuclear attack that mainstream media outlets portrayed as an attack by government forces on the Damascus subberb Gouta. But an episode of the ‘Truthseeker’ aired detailing the ways in which this event had been falsly portrayed and even how some of the coverage was edited to suit the narrative that the Syrian army launched the weapon.(http://seeker401.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/the-total-farce-of-the-green-square-scenes-and-the-reasons-nato-attacked/comment-page-1/) What had not been shown often was the fact that fighters of one of the main fighting groups Al-Nusra had been caught on the border a week or so before the nuclear attack with a quantity of ‘Sarin Nerve Gas’ That along with propaganda videos of masked men claiming to be testing nuclear elements on animals.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ1C4evK06I) In fact members of Jabhat Al-Nusra had told an Associated Press that they had mishandled Saudi supplied chemical weapons which caused the Nuclear incident in Ghouta.(http://www.globalresearch.ca/jabhat-al-nusra-rebels-admit-responsibility-for-chemical-weapons-attack/5347485) The fight against ‘Communism’ having been replaced with the fight against ‘Terrorism’ to adapt to the modern geo political situation we see today. IS is now the big enemy with constant coverage by the MSM along with a huge propaganda campaign utilizing social media and other platforms to reach the masses. Or we find pick another supposed enemy ‘Russia’ the media in the West scorns and demonizes ‘Russia’ as an aggressor against Ukraine and the ‘Free World’ in general but the people of those Western nations seem not to agree with this analysis. Is it because of a mass awakening to the fact that mainstream media lies ? At any rate in today’s world media is used more than ever to sway the peoples of the world example of which is that of the enemy ‘ISIS’ which came along months after the push to invade Syria collapsed and the war hawks had to back off. Again the push to enter Syria was proposed but this time it was the ‘Islamic state’ which was being used as a pretext for war. IS who seemed to come out of nowhere to be one of the most feared terror groups in the world was ultimately magnified 100x because of the constant coverage. This happened because of the medias constant fear mongering they basically put a magnifying glass on a group which blew them up to be something they are not. Yes the people within ‘IS’ are animals naive brainwashed people but we need to understand they are just another pawn which is being used in the geo political game which we see playing out today across the globe.

Media wars continue -

Media wars continue - Mainstream media is being used to try and subdue the peoples of the nations in the west by FEAR , DECEPTION'S and down right LIES. It is promising to see and hear that a lot of people have woke up to this reality but it is also frustrating and even scarey how certain establishments along with friendly MSM outlets can quickly influence the way many people think and act. We would just have to look at Syria. When Obama was pushing for strikes inside Syria against the Syrian government a backlash quickly hit, the constant wars and conflicts have drained the will of the people to go into another war yet a few months on the people have been directed in such a way that they now support strikes on ISIS within Syria. This is why alternative media is so important if we did not have such outlets that actually seek to tell the truth and disseminate the evidence with the hopes that it will help inform and even educate the masses on events and topics that have so much sway on how we as the human family will end up in the future.

IS raise the black flag over Libya... It was only a matter of time.

Reports the other day that the black flag of IS was raised in Tripoli, Libya. It was only a matter of time before this happened. CIA gun running from the US embassy in Benghazi and training of countless rag tag militias and mercenaries to fight against late leader Muammar Al Gaddafi lead to the rise of these extremist groups within Libya. It also should be noted this lead to the slaughter of migrant workers from central African countries men were hung from the lampposts and had their heads cut off in the middle of the streets all because of their skin color and a lie. These groups of people were in training from before the start of the Libyan uprising in places like Jordan and with help from French, Qatari UK and US special forces. Military 'advisers' to you and me. The fall of the Libyan state meant that the spotlight was now on Syria the groups that had taken part in the so called revolution were made up of fighters from groups linked to Al Qaeda Al Nusra etc they had now gained a platform from which they could launch attacks and had an open gate to Europe. Tho the shady handlers in the background manipulating these groups had one objective and that was to topple Assad which would mean all roads lead to Iran. And if we refer back to general Wesley Clark's we can see that Iran was the main aim in the speech he said “We’re going to take out seven countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran” – General Wesley Clark. The rise of such a group as ISIS was inevitable after the NATO backed invasion of Libya only for the fact other nations began to stand up and speak out Syria would have been the exact same...

Brisbane G20 Total Lock Down Of Peoples Lives... Nothing to see here but Kualas.

As we watched the G20 take place in Australia you will have noticed MSM(Main Stream Media) was none stop with its Putin mania and Abbots comment that he would "shirt front" president Putin. Maybe you also got to see the Kuala bears the MSM turned the G20 into a complete circus with its coverage, They neglected to really talk about what was being discussed among the world leaders and about the problems we face today. First off we need to talk about the preparations for the summit. Just like we see everywhere and anywhere this summit takes place the surrounding areas or even the whole city is deemed a security zone huge fences are erected steel cages hundreds of police, secret service you name it. The city comes to a stand still and as the article "12 ways G20 Has Turned Brisbane Into a Orwellian Wasteland" states "Police are in total control" Buzzfeed news actually ordered an "Ubercade" just like the motorcade you would usually see at such an event a president or a prime minister, anyway they did this and found exactly what we have come to expect of the the growing global police state complete shutdown of peoples day to day lives. They describe being at several protests during the day while they drove around Brisbane in this "Ubercade" explaining that police heavily outweighed protestors and that any undesirables were swiftly taken care off by the local robocop. Many people actually packed up and left Brisbane because of the G20 coming, they new it would disrupt normal life for however long needed. These type of measures are increasingly the norm during such events and the people don't like it they are angry and rightfully so. In my article the ' The World is Entering a Multi-polar Phase in Global Governance' i talked about the rise of the BRICS nations and indeed since that article many developments have taken place it seemed the BRICS nations stole the show during the summit. The rise of the BRICS is a very real rival to U.S. hegemony and dominance. Chinese President Xi Jinping added that BRICS cooperation should not only boost the global economy, but also ensure global peace. As seen in Syria when Russia and China stood up to another illegal war being pushed by certain establishments and individuals within those establishments this was for me the first clear sign of opposition rising. The U.S. president and his cohorts sat and discussed how else to put pressure on Russia during the summit instead of working on real solutions to very real issues, Obama was more interested in facing down his rival or trying to... The rise of the BRICS and a clear rival to the Petro dollar system is seen as a major threat by those who need to maintain the status quo for their own benefit. No matter what those MSM outlets who fail to acknowledge the facts and would rather portray a false reality to the public will and are gradually loosing the information war. The rise of this opposition does not stop with the BRICS and those in high places. People right across the world have been rising, pockets of resistance have sprung up all over the globe against the status quo the people are crying out for change. We need to realize no matter how much we may think we hate all politicians or all establishments we need to be realistic and understand those in power can be a force for good "actions speak louder than words" yes they do a balance is needed in our world and the BRICS is bringing that balance. A new world order is upon us but as i have said before it is up to us the people what type of order do we want, the people have decided this order is not working for our world people are dieing daily inequality is the worst it has ever been. Change is upon us we the people must keep the pressure going keeping up the good work fighting the information war daily fighting the lies and bias untruth of those MSM who look to deceive the people “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcolm X

Syrian Rebels Describe Their Training By Foreign Powers

A while back i done an article on IS(Islamic State) where i mentioned interviews done with Syrian rebels who give these interviews on how and where they were trained by foreign powers to go and fight inside Syria against the Syrian Army... On May 26th PBS released a report "Syrian Rebels Describe U.S. -Backed Training In Qatar" in which rebels who are currently receiving arms and training from the U.S. were quoted as saying “They trained us to ambush regime or enemy vehicles and cut off the road,” said the fighter, who is identified only as “Hussein.” “They also trained us on how to attack a vehicle, raid it, retrieve information or weapons and munitions, and how to finish off soldiers still alive after an ambush" Many of these figthers as i stated in my last article on IS usually gravitate to the bigger groups being Al Nusra and Islamic State, in turn the weaponry and funding which was once for so called moderates ends in the hands of the radicals thus fuelling the never ending chaos we are now seeing in the Middle East... I have to continue to ask the question are these radical groups being used as a pretext for regime change inside Syria to topple a democratically elected leader? We have seen it many times before and it's my honest opinion we will continue to see this trend so long as the nations of the world bends the knee to the U.S. empire spanning the entire globe.

The Continuation Of Military Use By U.S. Armed Forces And CIA Needs To Be Brought To An End In Ireland

Some may not already know this but for well over a decade armed forces of the U.S. have been using Shannon Airport as a stop off point before continuing on to their bastions in Europe and the Middle East, Indeed Ireland itself is becoming one of these bastions, well over 2 million U.S. troops have passed through Ireland to fight illegal wars and conflicts around the world. Not only is Shannon being used as a staging post for the U.S. armed forces but is also being used for operations associated with the CIA and its 'extraordinary rendition program' The use of Shannon Airport by U.S. forces means Ireland is complicit and has been complicit in these conflicts which has seen millions of innocent men women and children perish, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya, this list is endless. This is a stain on the Irish nation and it needs to be addressed, of course we have had many people who have stood up and have even went to jail trying to highlight this most well known being 79 year old peace activist Margaretta D'Arcy, in which during her trial she tried to make a citizens arrest of the judge for collaborating in war crimes. D'Arcy was also convicted in 2012 for peacefully opposing the use of Shannon airport by U.S. military by blocking two flights from landing at Shannon. At the time of the protest, Galway Alliance Against War issued the following statement. Over the past twelve years consecutive Irish governments have colluded in Washington’s campaign of wars from Afghanistan to Yemen, in which up to 2 million people have perished. By allowing the US military to use Irish airspace and Shannon airport to wage these wars we have become a willing accessory to mass murder. We have blood on our hands…we feel we have no alternative but to block the runway at Shannon to highlight Irish involvement in this carnage. Not only is the complicity of Ireland in these wars immoral it is in violation of aviation, human rights and international law. In a Booklet 'Shannon Airport, War and Renditions' which was jointly published by Shannonwatch, The Peace And Neutrality Alliance(PANA) and The Irish Anti-War Movement(IAWM) highlights these violations... The booklet outlines four key areas in which the Irish authorities are deemed to be inefficient: The application of aviation law in relation to the transportation of munitions of war and other explosive substances Suspected breaches of international and European human rights law, as well as domestic Irish law, in relation to known and suspected involvement in rendition Possible breaches of international humanitarian law Policy and practice relating to the concept of Irish neutrality In 2011 alone a total 1,142 'Civilian Planes' with munitions on board landed at Shannon airport this was revelad in answer to a question posed by Sinn Fein TD Padraig Mac Lochlainn Shannonwatch, the organization which monitors foreign military use of Shannon airport and campaigns against it, said the figures “make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality”. On its website, a spokesperson is quoted as saying: “Like Kuwait and Kyrgyzstan, Ireland and Shannon have now become staging posts for US invasions and occupation. “The figures make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality, and show that successive governments have relinquished all interest in maintaining an independent Irish foreign policy.” John Lannon, the booklet’s author, says the use of Shannon Airport has contributed to suffering and human rights abuse for over a decade: “The consistent disregard for national and international laws has meant that Shannon has been directly involved in the suffering and death of innocent people – from men tortured in Guantanamo Bay, to children in Afghanistan who are injured or orphaned by airstrikes and roadside bombs.” These operations being carried out are not sanctioned by the Irish people but of a few who are in the back pockets of the U.S. and E.U. whatever the puppet masters say goes, but there is only so far you can push a people before they begin to rise and this is what we may very well be seeing in Ireland today. End Ireland's Complicity In These Crimes Against Humanity Now Ireland Says NO!

False Flag Events in the Modern World

There are many "conspiracy theories" that float about when it comes to understanding America and it's powers. From the "Who Shot J.F.K.?" stories, to those who believe the 9/11disaster could have been nothing other than a hologramand well placed explosives. But let'stake a minute to analyse the phrase "Conspiracy Theory." 

conspiracy theory 
noun 
- a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event. 

It says nowhere in that definition that a conspiracy theory may not be credible, or plausible, or even likely, yet various establishments over the years have "weaponised" the term, in order to discredit those who may favour them, and brand them as "The Tin Foil Hat Brigade." 

So, lets take a look back at some historical conspiracy theories. 
First, lets look at the private sector. Many "paranoid freaks" once suggested that tobacco firms had engineered their particular brands of tobacco to be more addictive than their rivals'. This was discounted as ridiculous ramblings of the minority, yet in 1999, ASH and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, investigated various tobacco product manufacturers and found that indeed they DID indeed engineer their products to increase addiction. Not only that, but the rabbit hole went deeper. Their evidence indicated that Chocolate and other sweet ingredients were used in the making of such products to make them more palettable to children, and the other additives used were toxic themselves, increasing the harm that smoking them would do. BUT.... the conspiracy theorists were mad were they? 

Or what about the early days of the internet? Remember those dial-up modems and that awful sound? Well some crazy people suggested that the adverts we were seeing, or having to obsessively exit when the pop-ups flooded the screen, seemed to know what we were looking for, so surely they must be spying on what we were typing and visiting... The younger readers among you probably accept this as the norm, as it is now public knowledge that this DOES happen, but back then, it was crazy talk... 

But what about the more important, the more damaging conspiracy theories? The ones that shook the world, the ones that allegedly covered up murders etc? Well there's always the idea that was spread about that the US government were supplying life-wrecking drugs to the poorer communities... That wasn't too far from the truth after all. Here is a quote from www.infowars.com... 

The Central Intelligence Agency has been implicated in drug trafficking operations all over the world as well as domestically, most notably during the Iran-Contra affair, under which Contra personnel smuggled cocaine into the U.S. with the blessing of the CIA which was then distributed as crack cocaine in Los Angeles, with the profits being funneled back to the Contras. 

Former Los Angeles Police Department officer Michael Ruppert also testified that he had witnessed CIA drug trafficking. 

Top Mexican drug lords like Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla have also gone public to assert that they were hired by the U.S. government for drug trafficking operations. There is a voluminous body of evidence that confirms the CIA and U.S. banking giants are the top players in a global drug trade worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year, information made public by the likes of Gary Webb. 

It gets worse. There are such events throughout America's history. As far back as the American Civil War, there is still discrepancies that remain unsolved as to what really happened in some battles. But back in 1990, as tension in the Gulf rose, a young, honest looking girl went before the Congressional Human Rights to plead with them, telling them about all the atrocities that were happening in Kuwait. "Nurse Nayirah" told the world that the Iraqis (they're a common enemy aren't they?) were literally murdering new born babies, taking them from their incubators and taking the incubators away. That sounds like the kind of horror you only read in the Bible. Of course the public were outraged that such a thing could be happening, and the US government got the public backing to go and back Kuwait, so Bush got his Gulf War that he so desperately sought. The western media broadcast and reported her testimony multiple times, on as many networks that they could... but no one reported the truth. The truth, was that she was the daughter of Kuwaiti Ambassador to the US, Saud Al-Sabah, and her testimony was engineered to provide the outcome that it effected. The sad truth, was that babies did indeed die, at or near the time that she stated. But it was found to be the fault of the Kuwaiti doctors and nurses that fled the hospitals, leaving them behind. Now, it is publicly accessible knowledge that these are indeed the facts, yet trust is still invested in our world governments despite the amount of times the wool is pulled over our eyes to manipulate us towards a particular end. 

The US aren't alone. England joined forces with them for operation Gladio, which later became responsible for many unnecessary civilian deaths, disguised as terror attacks by other parties, very similar to when the Nazis attacked a German radio station dressed in Polish uniforms. 

Then there's the Spanish-American War. The sinking of the USS Maine is said to have started it, when an alleged Spanish mine exploded beneath the ship, sinking it. TWO american led investigations determined that as the cause. An independent inquiry reached a different conclusion. It was found to be an INTERNAL explosion, most likely a result of the combustion of fuel coal which was being stored next to a room containing 4.5 tonnes of powder charges. Perhaps a mistake, but that would have undoubtedly been discovered in their initial examinations. 

Then there's the bribery and propaganda that took place during the coup d'état in Iran, 1953. Last year the CIA admitted liability for this, a quick google will show you the details, now mostly declassified and available to view in the CIA archives. 

Also newly declassified, are files that suggest that the USS Maddox incident, or the Gulf of Tonkin incident, was a false flag operation by the NSA. It used manufactured radar signatures to make it appear the on the second incident that there were North Vietnamese Naval vessels present,when in fact there were not. 

The list goes on. At the time these incidents occurred, any suggestion that our governments were being dishonest would have been either laughed at, or punishable. Yet now we know for a fact, that the "Tin Foil Hat Brigade" were right in these instances to suggest foul play by a "covert but influential organization." 

So what about today? What recent events have conspiracy theories surrounding them, and are they credible? 
Let's start in Ukraine. When the Western Media portrayed what was happening during the sniper shootings in Odessa, they told us that there were snipers both sides, shooting eachother. However, medical examiners have deduced that all the casualties that resulted from said snipers were shot from the same point of origin, with even some of the ballistics matching up. It just so happens, that three weeks prior to this awful, awful event, American private military travelled to the area. I do not know under which name they travelled, they have a few to choose from, there's Blackwater, Xe Services, Constellis Holdings (they could potentially use the name of the other companies that are under the umbrella of Constellis) and Academi. It was confirmed that they were there for a covert operation of some sort, but it is not known what. 

It is also believed, and highly probable, that the United States are responsible for placing Poroshenko into power in Ukraine, and raising the U.D.A., the army that then began searching for Jews to purge in Eastern Ukraine soon after, shooting civilians, causing so much unrest that the locals were forced to take up arms to defend their houses and towns.These innocents have now been branded by the US, with absolutely no evidence, as Pro-Russian Separatists/Rebels, and they are accusing them of shooting at and firing shells/explosives at their own town. That is already proved to be lies. Members of the Ukrainian Army have been stopped and interviewed by civilians at checkpoints, and it has been revealed that the soldiers in the Ukrainian Army have been told the same lies, but now see that it is not true. Many of them are already distraught at the fact that they are firing on their own people, on their own towns, but feel that they have no choice, as they have been threatened with 30 years in military prison if they do not follow the orders. Imagine that for a second. Being placed in an armoured vehicle with your peers, then told to fire shells at cities and towns that you may have called home, or home to relatives, and if you don't do it, then you face 30 years imprisonment, or in some cases, you would be shot yourself. There are many victims on many levels in this conflict. And the West insist that Russia is behind it all, that these civilians are not just taking up arms to protect their homes, their families, their country, that they are being secretly armed, and encouraged by Russia. Aside from the recent apparent accident where a routine Russian patrol appeared to temporarily cross the border in an area where it is not clearly mapped, all Russia has done is asked the world to come and observe her borders. And those that have, have witnessed the countless provocations from Ukraine, goading Russia to retaliate, but it has not, despite the US saying one minute that their inaction is a War Crime, and in another that if they DID act that that would be a War Crime too. No observers have seen any military equipment cross that border, only a HUGE convoy of trucks containing aid for the people of Ukraine. And they even accused that of being a Russian "Trojan Horse." 
And there are more things going on in Ukraine, that are not reported in the West, and things that are being reported in the West that are NOT going on in Ukraine. 

Then there's Gaza. An American blogger/political activist recently uploaded a video to YouTube, which depicted many many bodies laid out underneath sheets, but you could clearly see them moving. According to Pam Geller, who I am guessing cannot speak or read Arabic, this was footage from Gaza, recently, showing that they were lying about people being killed, suggesting that it was a stunt to trick the western media into thinking that people were dying when they are not. Well, there were literally thousands that died at the hands of Israelis in Gaza. The footage she was attempting to pass off, was actually part of a protest in EGYPT, and filmed OVER A YEAR AGO... She of course was relying on the western population not being able to understand the Arabic, which clearly states this. Now maybe it was deliberate, maybe it was misinformed. But misinformation in any form, innocent or not, is a dangerous, dangerous thing. After all, it launched the Gulf War, the Spanish-American War, and has resulted in the loss of life the globe over at some point or another. 

What concerns me is that despite the growing number of people that now DO question the media, they DO question the authorities over us, they do not use their voice. They MUST speak out against this injustice. A government is there to serve a country's people to the best of its abilities, in the interest of the PEOPLE. The role of a media corporation is to inform us of the FACTS, the REAL EVENTS going on around the world today. The press should not be for sale, or follow any agenda other than to bring the TRUTH to the world.And the government need to be reminded, that we, the people, have the power, we, the people, have the rights, and we, the people have the numbers. This is OUR world. we should not allow them to use our flags, and our names, and our taxes, to fulfill their own agenda. 
A world without deception is the first step towards true peace.
