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.

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...

It's now time for Ireland and other nations to officially recognize a Palestinian state.

A group of 660 Israeli political figures and legislators are urging Ireland to formally recognize a Palestinian state, these figures are and have been highly influential in Israeli and international politics. The group includes the former Israeli Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair, former Israeli Ambassador to South Africa Ilan Baruch, and Nobel Prize Laureate Daniel Kahneman. In October the U.K.'s parliament voted to recognize a state of Palestine and also Sweden being the first European country to officially recognize Palestine. Spain was quick to follow suit. Now it's time for Ireland and others to do the same. The people of Ireland showed they where clearly in support of Palestine with demonstrations up and down the country as Israels slaughter of the indigenous population of Palestine continued during Israels last incursion into the Gaza strip. Day and daily it continues but it seems certain events be it a kid being shot in the face or houses being demolished are not for public consumption and only when an event that effects Israel come up shall the Mainstream talk about the situation there. I am not condoning any violence but it seems to me that only when Palestinians rise is the only time the MSM shines the light on what is happening there. Are some people who are murdered more worthy and more important that another? No so then why such a major discrepancy in the reporting on the situation there.

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.

Alternative media the way forward...

Alternative media the way forward... Alternative media in today's world is essential if you seek to reach the masses, through social media networks we can reach people on mass at the click of a button, this was unimaginable a decade ago. The power we have to reach so many people gives us a stage on which we can highlight causes or peoples struggles around the world, all the while connecting with like minded people. Social media is essential for informing and educating the masses on any given topic, at one stage people had to go out and scream over a microphone to reach only a percentage of those that can be reached over social media. It is up to us in the alternative media with the reach we have to continue highlighting injustices, human rights abuses, peoples struggles and humanity's achievements and breakthroughs across the globe, all of this adds to the collective awakening we are seeing among or peoples across all nations on Earth. The times of things being hidden in the dark from us and kept there at the expense of humanity's betterment is coming to an end, because of this power to reach the masses things can no longer just be swept under the carpet, tho this does not mean it does not continue and things do continue to be hidden from us but what i am saying is as we go on it will become more and more difficult for those who wish to hide things from us to do so while we the people continue to spread the information. They can't stop us all!

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!

The World is Entering a Multi-polar Phase in Global Governance

The moves we are seeing on the international stage by both East and West have in part been driven by the rise of the BRICS nations and the fall of the Petro Dollar system. The sanctions on Russia are not only to do with Ukraine but also the continued growth in BRICS, anyone or anything that rivals the Dollar is an enemy to those who want to keep the status quo. But as we are seeing, the move to a more multi polar world is well underway - both in regards to economics, and actions being taken to oppose Western Hegemony. We have seen the construction of US military bases all over the globe, the disintegration of nation states and the subjugation of nations through economic terror driven by the IMF and  Rothschild owned Central Bank. This is nearly always inflicted on any nation that has had the misfortune of falling into the cross hairs of the US sponsored regime change - one comes after the other it seems, with the continuation of NATO and its shady moves dominated usually by certain countries or country all in the name of spreading ‘Democracy.’ In 2000, there were 7 countries in the world without a Rothschild owned Central Bank: Afghanistan, Cuba, Iraq, Iran, Libya, North Korea and Sudan. In the following three years, we all know what happened, and lo and behold, Afghanistan and Iraq gained said banks. In the next three years Libya and Sudan followed suit. This leaves only Cuba, North Korea, and Iran as the only countries in the world without a Rothschild-owned Central Bank. Interestingly enough, General Wesley Clark describes a memo which he received in the months following 9/11:

'And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”' - General Wesley Clark.

Putin’s move to stand up against US dominance to step in to protect it’s allies and of course its own interests in Syria was a turning point in the international arena. It was a stand against what has been the norm for decades with certain establishments able to go to war or to create regime change on a whim. The stand from Putin should of course been with Libya which could have saved many thousands of lives and maybe it would have saved Libya from the turmoil it is in now and maybe even stopped the conflict in Syria from escalating. Who knows. What I do know, is that the so called Arab Spring was manufactured by outside players with many different agendas - the people were played like pawns.

China and Russia continued to Veto any moves to topple the Assad regime, while those that wanted to see Syria end up like Libya sat foaming at the mouth furious that realities were changing - the US was not now the sole dominant nation on the international stage. If you think of the globe as a giant chessboard, each player is making moves to contain the other and the pawns each get closer and closer until one has to make a move to decide if they keep or lose their pawn. In Syria, when China and Russia vetoed sanctions and suggestions of intervention, this was the US losing one of their pawns, the game is now in full swing with flash points around the globe: Syria, Ukraine and Iraq being the main stages. People speak about world war 3 but i am content in saying world war 3 may have started a long while ago.

In recent days David Cameron has announced that the UK might go ahead with strikes on ISIS both inside Iraq and Syria, even after Syria warned that strikes on its territory would not be tolerated. This doesn't seem to matter, as Prime Minister Cameron dismissed suggestions that bombing raids in Syria would need permission from Damascus, this would be a blatant breach of international law and a breach of sovereignty, therefore Syria could respond accordingly if they decided to do so.

All of this combined has the potential to be a Cold War 2.0 scenario, and it seems many are thinking in such mentalities from the Mainstream to people in the highest echelons of power. This is a dangerous road we are headed down, old ways of thinking need to be shed before we can move forward as a world, if the NATO expansion towards Russia's borders and the expansion of the US empire into Asia does not cease we could see a very real world war being sparked. This is the last thing we want! We have enough war and strife already, for a very clear world war to kick off would be disastrous for everyone.
