9/11 Propaganda Coup and bogus "al-Qaeda beheading" videos...
Edited on Sun Aug-08-04 01:12 AM by Dancing_Dave
The videos showing supposed "Iraq al-Aqaeda beheading victims" have met plenty of healthy intelligent scepticism on the internet. It is very easy to fool the news with terrorizing propaganda stunts. Just as some jokers in California who faked an "al-Aqaeda beheading video" and fooled the international news media! The F.B.I. is pissed--such propaganda tricks are only for the Official covert-op proffesionals--they don't want rank amateurs showing how easy it is to fool the media!!!

We had a brief but bright discussion of this in the "Latest Breaking News" Forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x735724

This is really deep and consequential, folks! Mark my words, there will be a real cultural revolution over this stuff in the next few years. It's been very easy to fool the media with terrifying propaganda stunts--BUT IN THE INTERNET AGE, THESE SCAMS CANNOT LAST!!! The whole "news" media is losing it's credibility because it has been so easily fooled by official lies and propaganda stunts. The political repercussions of the people becoming aware of this will be awesome indeeed.

All of this will back-fire on the whole 9/11 Propaganda Coup in a very big way. People who had loved Nixon hated that "Tricky Dick" when they came to feel he had played them for suckers...but that's nothin' compared to what we're gonna go through now!

1. Media: Fools --- Or, Willing Executioners of Gov't Propaganda?
Think maybe the media is less concerned about being fooled and more concerned with "going along to get along"?

2. And on the flip side
as web based "news" shows itself to be full of crack pots, propagandists, weirdo's and revisionists, the media will become more careful of what it deems credible web news if it wants to attract and maintain viewers.

But let me me interrupt your dreams of revolution. That is what spins your wheels, yes?

3. some people will say anything to get attention
lared's self-description confession rings true. One question, lared: did the mirror crack?

5. That's what I thought. At first.
Then, I realized it might be some kind of Freudian thing. After all, even McNamara has had his "confession" moments. "You may now return to your former position of in-house curmudgeon."

6. How will it be done?"
Western voice in English saying "How will it be done?" is heard in the Nicholas Berg decapitation video! Looks like they were in too much of a hurry splicing the video...
