Gang,
Have you watched TV lately?
Browsed the internet?
Read the paper?
I hope you have. And I hope you've been keeping up with various other postings on this subject at DU. Because if so, you've been honing your investigative skills and your BS detector. Over the past year of so, you've become more cognizant and capable of NOTICING and SENSING when you're being "sold" something in the media. Not a product, mind you, but rather a STORY, or UPCOMING event. Or even a PRESIDENT. George Bush is without a doubt, the most MANUFACTURED and OVERSOLD President in American history.
But I digress..
You've probably already started to recognize a "pattern" developing. There's the "propaganda preparation" for the CAPTURE OF OSAMA. Little hints in the media, little hints dropped by Bush, bigger hints on television, as Bush and the military prepare to "capture" Bin Laden. I noticed it most grossly and egregiously in the buildup for the Iraqi Invasion. I mean, sure, you had MARCH TO WAR, MARCH TO WAR, MARCH TO WAR completely OVERSELLING you ever day on CNN, FOX NEWS, and the broadcast news shows. But the Media/Defense Contractors that own Networks/Bush Cartel were using other, more subtle means to "sell" the war to us, to "acclimatize" one to ACCEPTANCE and INEVITABILITY of war.
Commercials for joining the Army were rampant. Even the content airing on PBS, supposedly "public" and non-partisan (but in reality, the initials stand for Petroleum Broadcasting Service) was taking on a militaristic tone. The subjects or titles of shows like NOVA or FRONTLINE were stuff like, "Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction," or "The Evil Saddam," or "The Gulf War," stuff like that. The History Channel and Discovery Channel were airing shows about American Military, Hi-Tech Weapons, The "New 21st Century Soldier," or "Saddam's Deadly Weapons." AMC and Turner Classic Movies were showing more and more WWII movies, or movies about heroism in combat.
Trust me, this is deliberate. This is the extant to which our Media and Entertainment industries are being co-opted (if not downright OWNED) by the military/industrial/petroleum complex. The CIA has a LOT to do with this. I know many of you STILL won't believe it, but the ENTIRE American corporate news media is nearly COMPLETELY run, infiltrated, or beholden to the Central Intelligence Agency.
I can't go into this particular subject right now; I hope most of you DON'T need convincing or further clarification, but....Most high-visibility reporters and journalists are CIA assets. Or, they play along. Even Walter Cronkite has admitted to reading stuff on TV that he KNEW was FALSE, but the CIA wanted him to do it. CBS and Dan Rather are a "Company favorite," pretty much under the sway of the CIA. Notice who's been getting the big scoops this past year on any intelligence or Bush "bombshells?" CBS.
FOR YOUR FURTHER RESEARCH: GOOGLE "Operation Mockingbird" or "The Mighty Wurlitzer" or Carl Bernstein's famous Rolling Stone article on the CIA's complete infiltration of and takeover of the American Media. He estimated at least 400 prominent American journalists over that past 25 years were CIA assets. One CIA Director, William Colby, bragged that "The CIA owns anyone of major importance in the American media."
But, to my point:
I've noticed a shift in the winds, here, with regard to Osama. Not getting Osama has been a major Bush embarrassment. The media has been complicit in letting Bush off the hook. Imagine if Al Gore were President? Or Clinton? Each day, FOX NEWS or CNN would have their countdown, "Well, it's been 894 days since President Gore said he'd capture bin Laden, dead or alive." "Where's OSAMA?" "Where's OSAMA?" "Osama is Gore's FAILURE."
Remember, about a year after 911, Bush stopped mentioning bin Laden in his speeches or interviews. OH, there was still plenty of "War," "terror," "fear," "War," "Al Qaeda," "War without end," "evil-doers," "terror cells," "9-11," sprinkled into every speech. I think it was estimated that Bush, in his mendacious and disastrous, scripted and staged, Meet The Press "interview" that he mentioned all these key words no less than 70 times. BUT NO "OSAMA."
Thusly, the Media has done its part and not mentioned him by name.
Until now.
Just the other night, on Frontline, there was a two-hour special on Terrorism, Counter-terrorism, Al Qaeda, and OSAMA. The Discovery Channel has started airing a special program, THE HUNT FOR OSAMA.
Just GOOGLE the NEWS lately on the internet. Look at all the NEW stories claiming that we're "Closing in on Osama." "Osama is surrounded." "Osama captured any day now." "Osama warning BUSH of more attacks."
NOTICE too, how the media spins yet another PHONY "Osama tape." They're selling us this War on Terror HOAX as some sort of grudge match between Osama and Bush. One CNN headline read, "Osama Sends Chilling Message to BUSH." Oh, really? And how? By Federal Express? By courier pigeon from his cave in Tora Bora? CNN "personalized" this fight. Osama's taped message warned America. But the headline reads: "Osama Sends Chilling Message to BUSH." Ooooooooh!
CHECK OUT these Google results:
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=closing+in+on+bin+laden&sa=N&tab=wnWHY NOW? Well, politically, things are as low as they've ever been for Bush. The American people are starting to wake up and rub the fog from their eyes and see how DISASTROUS this President has been for this country. Most of that is due, yet again, TO THE MEDIA.
Once John Kerry was successfully sold to us by the US MEDIA, acting at the behest of the "moneyed power elite," the elements of "shadow government," just as Howard Dean was SOLD OUT, trashed, vilified and demonized by the US MEDIA, once again acting at the behest of the "moneyed power elite," the elements of "shadow government," DID ANY OF YOU NOTICE that once that objective was successfully ACHIEVED, the assurance that Kerry would be the "other choice" for Americans, the US media started going after George Bush?
Another coinky-dink? Just as fellow Skull & Bonesman, Bilderberg Member, Council on Foreign Relations Member, Trilateral Commission Member John Kerry becomes "the frontrunner," the American Media starts to lay into Bush.
And now we have all this Osama stuff in the news and on entertainment programs. Of course Bush needs Osama to win in November. Sure, he also needs to rig the voting machines and probably stage another phony terror attack in America in order to declare Martial Law and suspend the election, but Bush's plans need to include Osama.
Look at it this way. You have to know the whole premise of "we can't find him" is bullsh*t. We have spy satellites that can read a license plate off the back of a car from outer space. If "we" wanted to capture bin Laden or kill him shortly after 911, we have already done so.
That's the most virulent scuttlebutt and wild speculation going on amongst Captain Mike's online sources and websites that I frequent, like DU. Bush probably already has Osama either captured and being held somewhere in order to be released when it's most politically convenient... or he's got him on ice somewhere, and will thaw out the corpse to parade in front of the TV cameras just before the election. Or build a wax dummy of him.
Or get some actor to pose as Osama; I don't think Jeff Goldblum is doing much these days.
Rumour has it, Osama died of kidney disease just after the 9-11 Attacks. Many people think one of these scenarios is likely. Even William Safire of the New York Times predicted that Osama will be "the October Surprise." Safire also predicted as a possibility, ANOTHER MAJOR TERROR ATTACK.
Even Madeline Albright mused aloud that Bush probably has bin Laden captured.
http://www.talonnews.com/news/2003/december/1218_albright_bin_laden.shtmlThis would also follow the procedure they likely used in the phony "capture" of Saddam. It looks as though Saddam was captured last SUMMER, shortly after the Iraqi invasion, NOT later, just before Christmas, and was being held prisoner in order to be released at a politically advantageous time.
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/ATW312A.htmlSo, what's gonna happen? I honestly don't know, or what will, when. But it seems likely that Bush will cough up bin Laden. He may do it soon if the various scandals swirling around him like the Valerie Plame Affair, or any of Dick Cheney's numerous TREASONOUS actions explode in their faces. But they may wait til just before the Election. I think they're gonna see how badly Kerry is leading them, and then they will likely come up with a terror attack, declare Martial Law, and suspend all elections.
But what is most certainly going on right now is the "propaganda preparation" for the "capture" or "killing" of Osama bin Laden.
For further research into this, and for greater understanding of how Americans were "prepared" to accept this Osama bin Laden fellow as the perpetrator of 9-11, please read this FASCINATING, FASCINATING article on how "Osama the evil-doer" was completely built up in our minds by the media in the years prior to 9-11. It's all part of the brainwashing we endure, but have no clue that it's being done to us.
