CNN tells
us about a “covert” FBI snoop program to check “suspicious
radiation levels outside more than 100 predominantly Muslim-related sites in
the greater Washington, D.C., area, as well as various sites in other cities,”
thus providing more anti-Muslim fodder for the undiscerning American public.
“It is a waste of time, it is a waste of resources and it is causing us
to be concerned about our citizenship, our constitutional rights,” Nihad
Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told
CNN.
Mr. Awad, however, is missing the point—the Straussian neocons don’t
give a whit about the constitutional rights of Arabs in America and this “covert”
program, obviously a “waste of time” that will turn up nothing,
is not designed to protect us from dirty bombs but rather to further stigmatize
Muslims as crazed terrorists. Snooping on “more than 100 predominantly
Muslim-related sites” is intended to send a strong message—you can’t
trust Muslims and you may be in danger if you live near a mosque.
It should be noted that CNN is a branch of the 4th Army PSYOPS group staffed
(by) the National Security Council’s Office of Public Diplomacy (OPD),
“a shadowy government propaganda agency that planted stories in the U.S.
media supporting the Reagan Administration’s Central America policies,”
as Fairness & Accuracy
in Reporting revealed way back in 2000. OPD is a “vast psychological
warfare operation of the kind the military conducts to influence a population
in enemy territory,” according to Miami Herald. Although we are assured
OPD was shut down in the wake of revelations surrounding the Iran-Contra criminal
conspiracy, “the 4th PSYOPS group still operates,” thus demonstrating
there is not much in a name or bureaucratic designation.
FAIR continues:
An unofficial strategy paper published by the U.S. Naval War College in 1996
and written by an Army officer (”Military Operations in the CNN World:
Using the Media as a Force Multiplier”) urged military commanders to
find ways to “leverage the vast resources of the fourth estate”
for the purposes of “communicating the [mission’s] objective and
endstate, boosting friendly morale, executing more effective psychological
operations, playing a major role in deception of the enemy, and enhancing
intelligence collection.”
As former Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski informs us, the Straussian neocons currently
hold sway over the Pentagon and presumably the 4th PSYOPS group and other disinformation
and “deception” operations. Kwiatkowski was assigned to the Pentagon’s
Near East and South Asia bureau under the control of the execrable Zionist neocon
Douglas Feith. Other appointees hailed from neocon “think tanks”
such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy. “Along with Feith, all of the political appointees have in
common a close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in
Israel,” writes Jim
Lobe.
Thus it can be assumed CNN—long infested with PSYOPS operatives
and the corporate media long ago penetrated by the CIA under Operation Mockingbird—is
running yet another propaganda campaign designed to stigmatize Muslims as the
Straussian neocons, as the American branch of the reactionary and fascist Likudites,
prepare the nation for “world war four” (as former CIA director
and neocon James Woolsey deems it).
