The Phony OBL Tape: One Facet of A Brilliant Mindgame on The Sanity of a Nation

[tom_paine]

that is the most sophisticated the world has ever seen, by a long sight. It HAS to be, for it has, in only TWICE the time it took Hitler to brink Germany to the "point of no return" 1933-6 Bush has sold, through rebranding, tyanny and the New Totalitarianism to perhaps the free-est people that ever lived in all of human history (damned close to #1 in personal freedom, if we weren't #1, in the years 1945-2000).

Follow me now, please, down the upside-down rabbithole we have collectively fallen...

1) Right now, Busheviks are skillfully seperating the Democrats from their base (which is needed to win in 2008, even more than piles o' cash) and, as usual the Democrats are running like hell from their base, scurrying back when called to their Master's heel, capitulating, refusing to take substantive action, evne when felony evidence is laying all around and subpeonas diaregarded, etc. etc. ETC.

2) Bushevik Propaganda is a skillful construct involving the latest techniques in advertising and public relations, both of which, along with psychology, have progressed to the point of forging an "atomic bomb" of a tool, which is orders of magnitude more powerful than anything any dictator has had control of in all of human history.

3) It is multi-pronged, and multi-phasic. It would take a 90-page thesis or more to go into all aspects at length. To summarize, it creates a False-Reality Bubble while ALLOWING the truth to squeak out so far as to retain some window-dressing qualities of it's "freedom", Imperial Amerika allows some things previous totalitarianisms would have considered unacceptable by far.

4) As such, and one must think as an advertiser/PR person here to figure through this (take lots of showers, you'll need them), it relies on associative selling and rebranding (these are not scientific terms...you would have to dig through sociology and psychology textbooks to find those) to achieve it's aims subconsciously, just as nearly 100% of ALL MEDIA ADVERTISEMENT does. This is the truth. Read a year's worth of Advertising Age Magazine, if you can stomach it :puke:

5) Home stretch here: NOW using these principles, your mission is to subconsciously create associations of Democrats with negative characteristicss, i.e. weakness, impotence, and fear of terrorism. The strategy with this facet of this Bushie False Reality Bubble (and remember, this is LITERALLY one small facet of a hundred-pronged strategy) is to make these associations aqnd how best to do it? The same way you sell ANY OTHER PRODCT, really. Using the current techniques of advertising.

--------5a) Start with the Obviously Phony Bin Laden Tape, which undoubtedly will be taken as Gospel by 99% of Americans, even those who should very much know better (for one does not get 99% of anything without 98% of our Democratic brothers and sisters who make up the rank and file as we do).
In it, the Bushies wrote Osama to sound more like Obama or Michael Moore, as they have done before, although this time they couldn't resist throwing in a Bushie jab at high taxes. Funny, if you think about it, this exposure, which often these Bushies can't resist in their propaganda, a kind of "in your face".

--------5b) Now the direct and conscious association of Bin Laden sounding like a Liberal Democrat instead of the Right-Wing Fundamentalist Wahhabist that he is, creates longer term uneasiness and bad feelings, partiuclarly as this has been a constant and repetitious pounding of this catapulted propaganda, it is pretty much one of their main associative thrusts.

--------5c) Then the actual Democratic Leadership helps out, as usual, by walking face first into the right uppercut to the chin and BING! The association is cemented and now has repeated roots in reality, to boot! How this effect is created is worthy of a 15-page chapter in and of itself, and thus cannot be addressed here in detail.

And there you have a closer look at one part of a massive assault on the very sanity of a nation, utilizing the most intense and multifaceted propaganda tools that, I believe, are the mental equivalent of Nuclear Bombs.

Carl Jung was right. The Wars of the Future will not be fought so much against ourselves as against our psychoses.

He could just not predict the specific details of how such a future would look. Just as we can see the trends, but cannot predict what the Final Form of the Amerikan Version of BushPutinist Tyranny will be.

But I fear we have no more than 20 years before we will all be finding out.

1. But one thing we might never know is how many

Democrats in office have been threatened to consign themselves to following the Repugs and the DLC -or else.

Cheney warned Wellstone that he better vote in support of the Iraqi War. When he didn't agree to, his plane went down, killing Welslstone, TWO PILOTS, his wife, daughter, and several staffers.

2. Yes. See 5c) It is tragic and it is another repeat of the same sad history humanity has lived

since we fell out of the trees, with some notable exceptions.
