Mockingbird Punditocracy Strikes Again

The corporate war machine is relentless, and doesn't appear to be backing down anytime soon. Simply put, an economy based on war needs perpetual war in order the exist. (see blog: https://sychronicity1.blogspot.com/2020/06/why-us-requires-enemy-to-exist.html )

In the latest corporate media show, anonymous “sources” from certain intelligence agencies has made allegations that the Russian government has hired certain members of the Taliban in Afghanistan, to kill American soldiers. In other terms a “bounty” to murder allied forces in the country. This first appeared in The New York Times followed by The Washington Post, and as usual picked up by the corporate-cable-media. Of course, no actual evidence has been put forth, yet people around the planet, who only get their news from these outlets, are taking these allegations on face value. Thus Russia gate has reared its reptilian head once again.

A trip down memory lane reveals a CIA operation code named, Project Mockingbird. This operation consisted of agency operators and bribed journalists to prevent certain news items from being published and false information planted in order to sway public opinion on a particular issue. These issues usually revolved around another country and its leader, that the State Department deemed enemies of the United States. As many whistle blowers have exposed, Mockingbird did not consist of a few lowly journalists in a news organisation, but major editors, and loved news anchors, paid excellent cash to spew disinformation for the war machine.

There are many examples of this CIA backed disinformation in news organisations, though a good example is the Vietnam war. As the Pentagon Papers showed, the American people were lied to from the very start of the war. This included the now realised False Flag, the Gulf of Tonkin incident. The more recent and blatant example, of course, is the Iraqi WMD's, instigating the murder of millions of innocents, including children. We were lied to about Assad's chemical weapon attacks on his own people. This story, by the way, was buried, and not for a few brave, independent news outlets, we would have never known that this was intended disinformation to sway public opinion for regime change in Syria.

Again,we would not have known about this disinformation if it were not of the courage of certain whistle blowers and publishers. The Empire's crimes are never to be revealed. To be sure, I expect military actions around the planet that have never been reported. My point is that this disinformation provided by the State Department by way of the CIA and to the corporate media, has been documented for decades. To be certain, Project Mockingbird is alive and well and living in our main stream news outlets to this day.

One of the most popular mouthpieces for the war machine is MSNBC's, Rachel Maddow. Indeed, this woman was the world's “talking head” of the last 4 years for Russia gate. For the woman's popularity, the propaganda she vomits for the CIA hints at the insane. And now, since the “Russian bounty” story has hit, the woman is in a “mockingbird euphoria”, like a good snort of the best cocaine. It's embarrassing.

One of the sad irony's of the “bounty” story, is the United States has been pulling the same underhanded shit since before I was born. Latin American country's, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the list goes on ad nauseam.

This 'planted story' (Russian bounty) has a multi-levelled-purpose for the corporate war machine. For one, it raises further hate for Russia, (new cold war) and fuels the “Russia gate” chorus of morons on social media. And somehow presents president Trump as a “Putin Puppet”, and a “traitor” of the U.S. The $ million Mueller investigation came up with 0 evidence that the Trump campaign in 2016 colluded with Russia. ZERO. Yet these resistance warriors keep resisting. A brainwashed joke, really.

Personally, when this story hit the air waves, my first thought was, “Not again”. These war promoting ass holes continue to push the same BS and expect us to believe it, despite lack of true evidence.

The real problem is that, it seems, no one is really paying attention, or more importantly, learning from the past.

The Rachel Maddow's of the planet, paid heavily indeed, will continue to spread disinformation on behalf of the warmongers in power.

Until we see this as it truly is, a disinformation campaign for more war, a dividing tactic, it will only continue. And this is not good for our children, our children's children, and the planet.
