Finally, I posted the entire text of US Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights, a Project Censored (herein, PC) report which mysteriously vanished from their website. I got three lessons from the report, as in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, the first calling for inferences the authors never intended: who will be the next president?
The report teaches that, and everything else there is to know about how the United States reached its present sociologic and economic condition and what is ahead for our society. Its social and political commentary is the best thing I've read in years, maybe ever—a true modern classic of literature, and more informative than my entire history education. Watching the news closely every hour of every day doesn't tell me as much about what's going on this minute as this fantastic document. Even the footnotes are amazing. Number 20 says their search found no instances of executive or legislative mention of electromagnetic weapons, nor did a 2001-2006 Lexis-Nexis search find a single instance in the mainstream media. No wonder you've never heard about it. And they DON'T want you to know, wishing to retain the element of surprise when they are used on American citizens! That's for Lesson 3. If ever there were a document The Bush Despotism™ would censor and prevent you from reading, this is it. Not to suggest the fed demanded its removal; indeed, it'd be like taking a big dump on a church alter, and Bush and Cheney wouldn't...never mind. It's a fabulous and wonderful thing everyone should see, and the only article or book I've ever felt a sense of mission to publicize. It will not be stifled, and God bless Peter Phillips, Bridget Thornton, Lew Brown and Project Censored.
Let's start things off with a bang by congratulating our lucky winner. John McCain, come on down! You're the next president of the United States! I predict John can't fail to win, even if he pulls no more than a rock-solid 20 percent of the popular vote. It's only my opinion, of course, and people by the millions would argue it. Recent history and my reading of "US Electromagnetic Weapons" demand the general election can have no other result. Published in December, 2006, the writers in no way addressed the issue of the next presidential election, and had no intention of making any forecast. The report's primary topic is cognitive liberty, since these secret weapons influence the mind and therefore behavior. Yet, the historical perspective in it allows one to extrapolate so easily, by a line of reasoning that is as dumb as it is transparent, plain and clear, making it simple to see what will happen in November—and beyond.
Having just finished heaving, something I've done thousands of times since first reading it, you must know I'm not a McCain supporter trying to mislead you. I hate all the candidates, and you'll see why in lesson two. I'm writing this sentence April 30. Today, MSNBC cable news reported Clinton and Obama are less than one percent separated in popular support. Do you believe that? My friends, it just cannot be. Thanks to PC I know every poll figure, the delegate and vote counts are fabricated, pulled from thin air and unrelated to the outcome. You know corporations and the war industry influence government, but you don't know how that works. Terse and in your face, PC tells you precisely:
The repression of human rights has been present within the US Government throughout our history. A long thread of sociological research documents the existence of a dominant ruling class in the US that sets policy and determines national political priorities. The American ruling class is complex and inter-competitive, maintaining itself through interacting families of high social standing with similar life styles, corporate affiliations, and memberships in elite social clubs and private schools.Look at those names. Those five people alone are capable of controlling almost all the news you get, how the campaign is perceived and who wins. If you've wondered how mainstream media has produced nothing but prowar news, you need wonder no longer. We all knew it was happening. Seeing names takes it up a few levels.
This American ruling class is self-perpetuating, maintaining its influence through policy-making institutions such as the National Manufacturing Association, National Chamber of Commerce, Business Council, Business Roundtable, Conference Board, American Enterprise Institute, Council on Foreign Relations and other business-centered policy groups. C. Wright Mills, in his 1956 book The Power Elite, documents how World War II solidified a trinity of power in the US, comprised of corporate, military and government elites in a centralized power structure motivated by class interests and working in unison through "higher circles" of contact and agreement. Mills described how the power elite were those "who decide whatever is decided" of major consequence. [...]
The media is complicit in omitting information necessary to make democratic decisions. A global dominance agenda includes penetration into the boardrooms of the corporate media in the US. A research team at Sonoma State University recently finished conducting a network analysis of the boards of directors of the ten big media organizations in the US. The team determined that only 118 people comprise the membership on the boards of director of the ten big media giants. These 118 individuals in turn sit on the corporate boards of 288 national and international corporations. Four of the top 10 media corporations in the US have DOD contractors on their boards of directors including:
William Kennard: New York Times, Carlyle Group
Douglas Warner III: GE (NBC), Bechtel
John Bryson: Disney (ABC), Boeing
Alwyn Lewis: Disney (ABC), Halliburton
Douglas McCorkindale: Gannett, Lockheed-Martin
Given an interlocked media network, big media in the US effectively represent corporate America's interests. The media elite, a key component of policy elites in the US, are the watchdogs of acceptable ideological messages, the controllers of news and information content, and the decision makers regarding media resources.
I'd like to see their list of 118 people and those 288 corporations. One could learn much—including how to end the neocon, authoritarian nightmare. The real revolution is knowledge, and Washington has worked hard to make us idiots. Understand, fellow imbeciles, when they tell you McCain won by a squeak and we should get over it, since we get the government we deserve: War Jackboot America™ isn't wanted by citizens and wasn't made by them, and isn't their fault.
After several readings, I get the idea the war industry is really in love with your money. I never thought about it like that, although I knew the level of affection was beyond avarice. Certainly the 2009 discretionary budget request clearly shows it. If you add $70 billion war supplement to the $541 billion defense allotment, defense becomes 57 percent of the budget. There is talk of a supplement over $170 billion for the wars, so that it doesn't become an election season issue.
New weapons development gets a large share of it, and black ops programs don't show in these figures. Black ops weapons could be the single largest thing taxpayers buy in 2009, after the wars, and even members of Congress can't tell you what they are or how much they cost. "US Electromagnetic Weapons" tells us black ops are 40% of the defense budget. That doesn't count so-called black budgets, secret allocations the amounts of which are known by no one. This control failure gives a whole new meaning to the word entitlement.
These people have a choice of presidents, and there must be no mistake. What the rest of the world thinks doesn't matter—only their money. The president must be the best example of two qualities, cold-bloodedness and profound stupidity. Thus, he can't fail to choose conflict, and he is easy to control. In this race, a clear winner emerges: John. It's just my opinion, and I hate it more than you. Could it really be that simple? It was for the last two four-year terms.
If you hated Lesson 1, don't miss Lesson 2 tomorrow. It's far better, the money shot of the three. Have plenty of vomit bags.
