1. In a word, hell yes.

2. Of course we are -- but they think of it as marketing. n/t

3. Duh.

When the war plan was laid before Smirk even got elected it's more than a little obvious.

I always thought those claiming the BFEE was behind 911 were nutzoid but as time has gone on I realize they are most likely right. More and more it's looking like the BFEE basically got Bandar to get it all set in motion and once Smirk got hisself all official then they set a date one when to pull the trigger so to speak.

The whole entire war on terra is a psyop.

4. The first casualty of war is the truth.

Of course they're lying to you. They have been from the start. Anything you hear from the brass you should assume to be a lie. You should have been assuming that from the start.

5. We are the "subjects" of a corporate-controlled controlled.

We can't even float to the top with relevant questions, like,...

Why?

6. They are betting on a certain portion of the population only hearing

the good news, it gives the bushbots something to "prove" bushco isn't really as bad as they really are.

7. Yes, I caught on during the run up to the Invasion of Iraq.

I was a merely a pissant former company grade Army officer and *I knew* that the Intelligence was "being cooked" by The Unitary Executive. Hello? Dick Cheney commuting to the CIA seemingly every damn day is one big red flag. Evidently not enough evidence for our Democratic Representatives to choose their Country over Career and vote against the IWR.

Yes, the ABSENCE of QUALITY International News (message: the USA is the center of the universe), spin (be as afraid of those evil "Far left wingers" as MUCH as the potential terrorist under every piece of furniture), disinformation (well, our bombs are precision guided = even when we kill civilians, we still hold the moral high ground), as well as "Bread and Circuses" galore (cows in swimming pools, Paris Hilton, what spa to join, missing blondes, missing white pregnant women, missing white co-eds, missing white kids, etc.), makes it CLEAR that the USA's M$M is no more than a servant of the Pentagon and The Unitary Executive Branch. :grr: :thumbsdown:

10. Me, too. The propaganda was OBVIOUS,...to me.

Yet, so many were TOTALLY controlled.

It was a,...well, terrifying experience.

This regimes' abuses of its own people and humanity has changed my life. Initially, it felt,...horrifying and painful.

But, now,...with people chugging along in spite of it all,...although I feel frustrated and angry at the modern-day cannibals-in-charge, I have great gratitude for every moment I've spent with all those who have invested in opposing this criminal regime.

8. My favorite surreal moment in this thing

was when the White House floated the idea of a department in the Pentagon that would disseminate misinformation into the public both domestically and overseas. They created the department and after the public backlash immediately declared that they decommissioned it.

[conscious evolution]

14. 'Decommisioned' was a psyop. nt

[melody]

9. There are companies with whole divisions dedicated to psy-ops

In fact, they created the whole BS about associating simple pattern-seeking with "paranoia". It's not paranoid to see what's obviously there to anyone who looks into the matter.

11. When havven't we been? "federal agencies spent $1.6 billion" Any 100 year olds got an opinion?

Have you researched how much USG spends on propaganda?

U.S. Journalist Quits Pentagon Iraqi Media Project Calling it U.S. Propaganda

Listen LINK

We talk to a longtime TV producer about the massive problems he saw in the new U.S.-funded Iraqi Media Network, which he said became an "irrelevant mouthpiece for Coalition Provisional Authority propaganda, managed news and mediocre programs." The U.S. has awarded a $96 million contract to a U.S. producer of communications equipment, Harris Corp., to create a U.S.-funded national media network in Iraq.

According to the head of Harris Corp, the Iraqi Media Network will have 30 TV and radio transmitters, three broadcast studios, and 12 bureaus around Iraq. .....

BUSH's LIES: "federal agencies spent $1.6 billion on what some Democrats called 'spin.' "

Bush administration propaganda and disinformation
From SourceWatch = http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Bush_administration_propaganda_and_disinformation

The Bush administration "spent $1.4 billion in taxpayer dollars on 137 contracts with advertising agencies over the past two-and-a-half years, according to a Government Accountability Office report released by House Democrats" on February 13, 2006, Richard Williamson reported for Adweek. "With spending on public relations and other media included, federal agencies spent $1.6 billion on what some Democrats called 'spin.'" ............

The GAO reported that the "six largest recipients of ad and PR dollars were" Leo Burnett USA, $536 million; Campbell-Ewald, $194 million; GSD&M, $179 million; J. Walter Thompson (JWT), $148 million; Frankel & Company, $133 million; and Ketchum, $78 million. "The agencies received more than $1.2 billion in media contracts, according to the report," according to Adweek. ........

13. If only I were more "tech" to post the page of present DU.

I would request a "detached" observation from all those familiar with CURRENT EVENTS.

Imagine that.
