Scientific Dictatorship

Michael Hastings has struck again.

The reporter who's story for Rolling Stone forced the resignation of former Gen. Stanley McChrystal has a new story out, this time focusing on what he calls "psyops" employed against elected officials by yet another "runaway general."

However, when told to target high-profile individuals such as Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Joe Lieberman (I-CT), Al Franken (D-MN), Carl Levin (D-MI) and even Adm. Mike Mullen -- one unit resisted, citing federal law that information warfare not be used against Americans.

"At minimum," Hastings writes, "the use of the [information operations] team against U.S. senators was a misue of vital resources designed to combat the enemy."

The report added that documents provided to the magazine showed the operations cost taxpayers over $6 million.

Those that resisted, the report said, were targeted for retaliation...

Everyone who has access to electronic media needs to understand a basic fact. Whatever they are about to see is nothing but ‘The Illusion’. It is amazing that such a big dilemma has never been bought to the limelight.

Hal Becker, a syndicated writer in 46 Business Journal Newspapers worldwide, said in an interview in 1981, “I know the secret of making the average American believe anything I want him to. Just let me control television… You put something on the television and it becomes reality.

Instead of the ‘average American’, we see people believing what they see on television.

The situation is alarming. We have witnessed war plans being sold on the media stage. The blue prints of the Iraq war were being sold by Bush and Blair. Iraqis were terrorised at a grand scale before the actual war and then it was covered up by deception. The disinformation of Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and Iraq being a danger to the rest of the world created hype across the globe. This gave the American Government a green signal from peace loving nations and the American public to invade Iraq.

Masses in America and around the world have started to think about America’s gain in invading Iraq. They began to question the legitimacy of the reports which stated that Iraq housed weapons of mass destruction. They were not told that they were making 740000 women widows and 4.5 million people homeless. They were not told that the population of Iraq would be made to suffer. This is where Hollywood comes in...
