Discovering Wikileaks

There is a great analysis of Wikileaks by Michael Chossudovsky and understanding it fully is important to understanding yet another manufactured means of morphing our mental images of what, who and how in global affairs... It is a manipulation of information, Essentially it is intended to evolve into a means of disinformation... I've extracted the most important analysis of the wikileaks objective and those behind it... but all are encouraged to follow the links and READ and digest the entire article.

You must learn to fine tune your instinct for reality...truth... common sense,., reason and rational not rationalization. If something does not "feel" or "smell" right keep your shield of paranoia ON.


Manufacturing Dissent

Wikileaks has the essential features of a process of "manufactured dissent". It seeks to expose government lies. It has released important information on US war crimes. But once the project becomes embedded in the mould of mainstream journalism, it is used as an instrument of media disinformation:

"It is in the interest of the corporate elites to accept dissent and protest as a feature of the system inasmuch as they do not threaten the established social order. The purpose is not to repress dissent, but, on the contrary, to shape and mould the protest movement, to set the outer limits of dissent. To maintain their legitimacy, the economic elites favor limited and controlled forms of opposition... To be effective, however, the process of "manufacturing dissent" must be carefully regulated and monitored by those who are the object of the protest movement " (See Michel Chossudovsky, "Manufacturing Dissent": the Anti-globalization Movement is Funded by the Corporate Elites, September 2010)

What this examination of the Wikileaks project also suggests is that the mechanics of New World Order propaganda, particularly with regard to its military agenda, has become increasingly sophisticated.

It no longer relies on the outright suppression of the facts regarding US-NATO war crimes. Nor does it require that the reputation of government officials at the highest levels, including the Secretary of State, be protected. New World Order politicians are in a sense "disposable". They can be replaced. What must be protected and sustained are the interests of the economic elites, which control the political apparatus from behind the scenes.

In the case of Wikileaks, the facts are contained in a data bank; many of those facts, particularly those pertaining to foreign governments serve US foreign policy interests. Other facts tend, on the other hand to discredit the US administration. With regard to financial information, the release of data pertaining to a particular bank instigated via Wikileaks by a rival financial institution, could potentially be used to trigger the collapse or bankrutpcy of the targeted financial institution.

All the Wiki-facts are selectively redacted, they are then "analyzed" and interpreted by a media which serves the economic elites.

While the numerous pieces of information contained in the Wikileaks data bank are accessible, the broader public will not normally take the trouble to consult and scan through the Wikileaks data bank. The public will read the redacted selections and interpretations presented in major news outlets.

A partial and biased picture is presented. The redacted version is accepted by public opinion because it is based on what is heralded as a "reliable source", when in fact what is presented in the pages of major newspapers and on network TV is a carefully crafted and convoluted distortion of the truth.

Limited forms of critical debate and "transparency" are tolerated while also enforcing broad public acceptance of the basic premises of US foreign policy, including its "Global War on Terrorism". With regard to a large segment of the US antiwar movement, this strategy seems to have succeeded: "We are against war but we support the 'war on terrorism'". Michael Chossudovsky

The Herders Freeze Herd's Pay - Yeah That'll Fix Budget Concerns.

Hmmm Let me see if I have this right. They just froze the pay of all government employees, including the military, but NOT their own pay or any of the administration 'titled' officials...

Hey, now that makes perfect sense. Let us review by analogy. I am a congressman or senator..., the highest paid NON-working cog in the great wheel of Federal Government. My hardest work is campaigning to assure my continuing to draw the paycheck for doing as little as possible and being able to raise funds and accept bribes to vote for whatever bill this lobby or that one want passed. So we have before us a proposal for health care or pay freezes. Well, gee, as long as I protect my OWN interests no problem that I can see. Yeah, the folks back home won't like it, but F#@K them what do they know... Yes it's good to be the boss. We'll just pad the 'Bill' with so much double speak no one will bother to try to figure it out.

And there you have it boiled down to the bare facts folks. But hey, those guys voted to protect us from our food and all sorts of things to keep us safe. They like playing god. Who are we to complain. We are after all just peons.

Okay, jokes aside. How long does it take before the peons get disgusted enough to smack the poor drones around us to wake them from the hypnotic stupor of boob-tube, computer games, Holly-weird La La endorphins, to take a COMMON SENSE look at their masters and quit taking the ice cream icing at the sacrifice of their freedom. Sadly slavery thrives upon the nature of many humans to being enslaved. Leaving those of us who prefer individual freedom and self determination to flounder in the mire of the herd's slop.

Yeah, that's been the never ending cycle of human existence. When you look at most species on this planet it pretty much clarifies that all herding animals follow the same pattern. So maybe it's just nature taking it's course.
