Keyword Hijacking

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Correct me if I'm wrong, HMW, <hr></blockquote> You're wrong, RR. <blockquote>Quote:<hr>"The owners of Big Media have a meeting 2-3 weeks devoted to the topic of how to craft symbolism in order to keep their viewers- especially the American ones- enslaved to False Consciousness.<hr></blockquote> Partly wrong. What's with the Superman vs Dr. Evil comic book characterization? I don't do that and neither should you, RR. We are both better-informed than that. Although it seems that straw men are fun to set up and knock down lately. Waste of time in my eyes. Still, once set up they must be knocked down. (What I have I said that has you going to this comic book mode?) The history of media, psychology, industry and power have largely institutionalized the techniques of herding customers and citizens using the same principles for the same goals and frequently by the same people. The same Wall Street that financed Hitler worked to impose scientific facism in the US after WWII in precisely the manner Aldous Huxley predicted.  Just what do you think the 1951 Psychological Strategy Board was tasked with, Robert Reed? So there is a sixty year-old culture which is a COMBINATION of people overtly doing what they think is normal ranging from Public Relations Society of America business types selling spin services to corporations and US Psy-Ops warriors doing what the Pentagon and NATO want them to do PLUS a covert management class seeing to it that it is done well by augmenting the conscious programs with subconscious programs consisting of CIA/Council on Foreign Relations-types doing black propaganda, diversions, gate-keeping, social engineering, and psychological warfare. The development of this matrix during the Cold War and occasional tip-of-the-iceberg exposure is clearly documented in Senate exposure of Operation Mockingbird in 1976, the history of the Council on Foreign Relations such as Carrol Quigley's in 1966, and the archives in San Diego of the WWII-era Office of War Information which actually helped write Hollywood scripts. <a href="http://history.sandiego.edu/gen/st/~ksoroka/hollywood3.html">history.sandiego.edu/gen/...wood3.html</a> Here's the archives of the Psychological Strategy Board split between the Truman Library and in Gordon Gray's section of the Eisenhower Library- <a href="http://www.trumanlibrary.org/hstpaper/physc.htm">www.trumanlibrary.org/hstpaper/physc.htm</a> <a href="http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/listofholdingshtml/Lhmg.htm">www.eisenhower.archives.g...l/Lhmg.htm</a> I don't have time for comic books. lol.

1) Still no comment on the Johnson Group and Peter Schroeder getting a film all the way into US public schools with the exact same name as the US-Nazi alliance but now with an opposite meaning? (Hmm. I must've posted in invisible ink but people are reading things I didn't write. Maybe an Ezboard glitch. lol.) 2) No, I'm not 'emad,' just damn mad. Over at DemocraticUnderground I've been accused of being SeventhSon just because I wrote about General Wesley Clark's warcrimes plus the history of the CIA. So it goes... 3) Thanks for the Operation Condor history. I know this was one of your more deeply researched topics and every school child should know this stuff to understand how 'their' government works in collusion with the worst elements of other governments against their people. 4) Pre-emption and prevention. Pre-emptive use of a keyword can pre-dispose someone to think of the first definition and shunt off focus on the arriving second definition, just in case. Child development psychologists have a name for how this works and could be weaponized to hide things- "mutual exclusivity," meaning that once an object is named that is the only meaning for that name. This is an evolutionary brain science thing that allows a child learning to name the world to keep it simple for survival's sake. The same principle of "mutual exclusivity" is what is (yes, IS, not "might" because I am certain of this) behind the effort to get American school kids to see the Johnson Group's educational package about the Holocaust memorial 'Paperclip Project' instead of first learning about US use of Nazis called 'Project Paperclip.' The US-Nazi history is important to hide because Nazis are the devil that establish Uncle Sam as the angel who bombs evil. In February, 2005 papers were released showing that after WWII the CIA had taken in as assets five of Nazi Adolph Eichmann's assisstants. But just a few days before the documents proving this were released the Fox TV-Reich Wing echo machine began crucifying Ward Churchill for something he'd written way back on 9/12/01 about some of the WTC victims not being innocent but being CIA and thus working "like little Eichmann's." This pre-emptive diversion of another use of the keyword 'Eichmann' is pretty obviously a media tactic to hide CIA and thus Uncle Sam dirty laundry, don't you think? The crucifixion of Ward Churchill went on for weeks and accomplished several Reich-wing objectives- > Distract from the 'CIA hired Eichmann's assistants' story > Recharge the 9/11 outrage for the War on Terra > Demonize someone who wrote about COINTELPRO > Demonize the class called 'liberal college professors' who David Horowitz targets to chill any potential anti-war anti-fascism movements from sparking up on America's campuses. All achieved with a well-timed keyword hijacking. These guys are good at what they do, horrible as it is. <blockquote>Quote:<hr>And it wasn't until quite quite a while after the Letelier-Moffitt murders on Embassy Row on September 21, 1976, that any press scrutiny in the English-speaking media was brought to bear on the possibility of right-wing assassination squads involved in carrying out an "official mission" of international scope.<hr></blockquote> The Congressional scrutinization and leaks over CIA programs from 1974-1977 (Rockefeller, Pike, Church, House Subcommittee on Assassinations) would have made it possible that Operation Condor would be one of the beans spilled. You have to admit that this was possible and would be disasterous for a government cabal struggling to regain control and stability after Vietnam, Watergate, and conviction of CIA Director Richard Helms for perjury. Pre-emptive use of a keyword can pre-dispose someone to think of the first definition and shunt off focus on the arriving second definition, just in case. This is what makes me suspect that the ongoing situation in Mexico and the imprisoned activist Nacho Del Valle with a daughter named America continuing his leadership (can you imagine the psychic weight this would have amongst the Hispanic voters the GOP desperately wants for votes and recruiting?!) was the reason Jack Black's movie was named 'Nacho Libre.' Pre-emption and prevention of potential civil unrest by keyword hijacking.

I've shown this multiple times. I've also posted my reasons why your analysis of the Johnson Group is nothing more than speculation and innuendo. You've offered nothing conclusively proving they are CIA-funded or allied. As usual, you dig up some information, put a bunch of text in bold that suggests (to you) malfeasance, and make grand accusations. That bird don't fly.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>was the reason Jack Black's movie was named 'Nacho Libre.'<hr></blockquote>So I can get a better idea of what you're claiming, and avoid attacking a 'straw man' (orwell rotates 360 degrees every time we use that phrase) which i admit i may have done a tiny little bit... Please could you let me know whether you've seen that movie, and whether or not you'd suggest that Jack Black is 'in on' your claimed reason for the movie's title. Thanks.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Guess what... film editors and everyone else in the film industry are normal working guys who are not part of this supposed conspiricy.<hr></blockquote> I didn't say 'film editors.' Sorry if that confused you, orz. I just said 'editors' meaning newspaper editors at the highest levels. Like the editors of the NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post (Bob Woodward etc), Chicago Sun Times. Did you know that the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs from 1977-1981 was a guy named Thomas Bernard Ross? What do you suppose he did before he held this Pentagon job? He was the Washington DC Bureau Chief for the Chicago Sun Times. What do you suppose he did after being Asst. Sec. of Defense? He was Senior VP of NBC News. "He later became a senior vice president of RCA, NBC and the Hill & Knowlton public relations firm. At the time of his death, he was vice president for government relations of Loral Space and Communications." Hill and Knowlton was the PR firm that sold Gulf War I and the Rendon Group sold Gulf War II. Can you say "Operation Mockingbird"? Can you say "CIA'? <a href="http://www.cedmagic.com/mem/whos-who/ross-thomas.html">www.cedmagic.com/mem/whos...homas.html</a> <blockquote>Quote:<hr>Thomas B. Ross * Thomas Ross was Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, RCA Corp., from 1982 until 1986. After the merger with GE he became Senior Vice President, NBC News. * The White House today announced the appointment of Thomas B. Ross as Special Assistant to the President, Senior Director for Public Affairs at the National Security Council and Deputy White House Press Secretary. The appointment will become effective April 4, 1994. Mr. Ross is currently Senior Vice President and Worldwide Media Director for Hill and Knowlton, the international public relations firm. Previously, he was Senior Vice President of NBC News and Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs of RCA. Under the Carter Administration, Mr. Ross served as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Pentagon spokesman from 1977 to 1981. Before serving in this role, he was Washington correspondent, foreign correspondent and Washington bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times. Mr. Ross is a graduate of Yale and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. He served as a naval officer on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific during the Korean conflict. - March 17, 1994 Press Secretary Announcement * Thomas B. Ross, a journalist and best-selling author of books on military intelligence who later became the spokesman for the Pentagon in the Carter administration, died October 24, 2002 at Eastern Long Island Hospital. He was 73 and lived in Manhattan and Shelter Island Heights, N.Y. The cause was pancreatic cancer, his family said. In 1960, when Mr. Ross was the Washington bureau chief for The Chicago Sun-Times, a United States spy plane was shot down over Russian territory. At the time, government officials claimed it was a weather plane, but the Russian government later produced the pilot, Francis Gary Powers. Mr. Ross and David Wise investigated the incident and published "The U-2 Affair" in 1962. The book was the first of three the two wrote together. "The Invisible Government," which was published in 1964 and explained the role of intelligence agencies in diplomacy, was described by Orville Prescott in The New York Times as an "able and interesting work of topical reporting." "No ordinary citizen could read this book without learning much that he never knew before," Mr. Prescott wrote. "Probably even well-informed members of the Soviet intelligence will find parts of it instructive." The book was listed as a No. 1 nonfiction best seller in several newspapers. The New York Times, however, listed Ernest Hemingway's "Moveable Feast" in the top position, leaving Mr. Ross and Mr. Wise at No. 2 for 22 weeks, Mr. Wise said yesterday. "We were a bit disappointed," Mr. Wise said, "but I told him that if we had to be second to someone, Hemingway was it." Mr. Ross and Mr. Wise further explored the international intelligence community in "The Espionage Establishment," published in 1967. Mr. Ross worked for The Chicago Sun-Times for nearly two decades before leaving in 1977 to become the assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, a position he held until 1981. In 1981 Mr. Ross became communications director for the Celanese Corporation in New York City. He later became a senior vice president of RCA, NBC and the Hill & Knowlton public relations firm. At the time of his death, he was vice president for government relations of Loral Space and Communications. Thomas Bernard Ross was born in New York City in 1929. He graduated from Yale University and served in the Navy during the Korean War. Mr. Ross received a Neiman Fellowship at Harvard University and a Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service. He is survived by his wife, Gunilla, and his daughters, Anne Ross of Manhattan and Kristina Ross of Albuquerque. Mr. Ross never lost his love for travel, Anne Ross said. The two flew to China together in 1997, leading Mr. Ross to recall his trip there in 1972 while covering the Nixon administration. "He went then and brought us back Communist candy to sell at our lemonade stand," she said. "He remembered so much that was different. But we still did buy our Communist candy." - 2002 Internet Obituary<hr></blockquote> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=hughmanateewins>Hugh Manatee Wins</A> at: 10/6/06 4:29 pm

Hugh, it appears to me as if you're trying to attempt the same sort of social-psychological and cultural analysis as Karl Marx, who came up with such coinages as "superstructure" and "false consciousness" to explain how those who are already wealthy and and desirous of maintaining their disproportionate share of political power work to mainpulate the societal status quo for their benefit at the expense of the rest of us. Marx also applied the term "praxis" to signify the moment of clear awakening from the societal conditioning of "false consciousness." I hardly buy into everything Marx posited as a social philosopher. Far from it. But I think those are some of his most valid and valuable insights. In his efforts to explain how those who are already powerful use their influence to corral other people to buying into the preferred worldview of the ruling class despite manifest evidence to the contrary, Marx presented a conceptual framework that was subtle and complex. That framework also brought attention to the fact that the superstructure erected by the plutocrats and their minions to maintain false consciousness contained crucial weaknesses and self-contradictions, and that human beings had the potential to act as conscious, critical thinkers capable of reviewing their own experience in order to free themselves of the false conditioning of the pre-imposed social order. You seem to be attempting the same critique- only it appears to me that instead of thoughtful analysis, you're indulging in building logical short circuits comprised of symbolic coincidences- often of the vaguest and most trivial and minute nature- that you seek to weave together to confirm your preconceived notions about a centrally directed psychological warfare effort of such scope as to be omniscient and omnipotent. Or nearly so. And you seem to regard humans as if they have no agency or free will of their own, as if they were mere receptacles for the symbolic content decreed from on high in the minutest detail by the societal power elite. That isn't a "straw man" characterization of your ideas, Hugh. It's the logical conclusion to be drawn from what you imply with the threadbare examples you provide as evidence for your ideas on the way the entertainment and news media work in this society.

It may amaze you to learn that different groups of people doing different things in different times and spaces will come up with different uses for and ideas about common objects such as the paperclip. d) "all the way into public schools" isn't actually a very long way for a documentary about school activities and education really now, is it?

Military buzz-word manipulations...no need to debate that one, it's beyond dispute.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Karl Marx<hr></blockquote> Well, only in that media is an elite tool in class warfare. <blockquote>Quote:<hr>building logical short circuits comprised of symbolic coincidences- often of the vaguest and most trivial and minute nature- that you seek to weave together to confirm your preconceived notions about a centrally directed psychological warfare effort of such scope as to be omniscient and omnipotent<hr></blockquote> My "notions" aren't "preconceived." So if you don't see what I do then you assume I'm projecting it on the world at large. Thanks for the armchair diagnosis but I haven't put a fraction of the behavioral science materials and history up at this board that I've learned. Not a fraction. My "notions" were the result of research on means-motive-opportunity-precedent-evidence. I'd never heard of Operation Mockingbird or OSS Morale Operations or Imagery Conditioning or Mutual Exclusivity or the Color Marketing Group or Framing Language or Subliminal Messaging until I read the history of the Nazis and the history of the CIA right after 9/11 when I turned to the internet to see what the hell had just happened. That's not a "logical short circuit" or "vague, trivial, and minute." The thing about manipulation of the subconscious to work thresholds of both awareness, belief, and subsequent behavior is...the Devil really is in the details, to use the cliche, not promote the idea of a Devil. (Gotta head off that misunderstanding.) And that can appear disproportionate to the larger goals of power and thus "vague, trivial, and minute." <blockquote>Quote:<hr>a centrally directed psychological warfare effort of such scope as to be omniscient and omnipotent.<hr></blockquote> Yes, "centrally directed" AND with locally institutionalized force magnification, to use a Pentagon term. "Omniscient and omnipotent"? Not yet. But not for want of trying. As in Total Information Awareness and NSA domestic surveillance and datamining. Fascism is a work in halting progress and efforts and intentions towards centralized control is spelled out in the creation of the 1951 Pscyhological Board and the micro-managing of Hollywood scripts by the WWII Office of War Information. Here, this is the kind of program going on for decades only being announced here publicly as if to let Americans know they can't believe everything they read. Like maybe, threats to nuke Iran. Plus I think the limited hangout tactic of focusing on a few institutionalized Fog Machines is being used to hide the much larger and more pervasive propaganda structure. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-12-14-pentagon-pr_x.htm">www.usatoday.com/news/was...n-pr_x.htm</a> <blockquote>Quote:<hr>posted 12/14/2005 2:07 AM Updated 12/15/2005 9:01 PM Pentagon rolls out stealth PR By Matt Kelley, USA TODAY WASHINGTON — A $300 million Pentagon psychological warfare operation includes plans for placing pro-American messages in foreign media outlets without disclosing the U.S. government as the source, one of the military officials in charge of the program says. Run by psychological warfare experts at the U.S. Special Operations Command, the media campaign is being designed to counter terrorist ideology and sway foreign audiences to support American policies. The military wants to fight the information war against al-Qaeda through newspapers, websites, radio, television and "novelty items" such as T-shirts and bumper stickers. The program will operate throughout the world, including in allied nations and in countries where the United States is not involved in armed conflict. The description of the program by Mike Furlong, deputy director of the Joint Psychological Operations Support Element, provides the most detailed look to date at the Pentagon's global campaign. The three companies handling the campaign include the Lincoln Group, the company being investigated by the Pentagon for paying Iraqi newspapers to run pro-U.S. stories. (Related story: Contracts for pro-U.S. propaganda)<hr></blockquote> Robert Reed continues- <blockquote>Quote:<hr>you seem to regard humans as if they have no agency or free will of their own, as if they were mere receptacles for the symbolic content decreed from on high in the minutest detail by the societal power elite.<hr></blockquote> Of course their is free will. But people tend to behave in ways shaped in childhood (hence the power of Disney) and sanctioned by institutions of power- TV, entertainment, TV, schools, TV, national and state government, TV, churches, TV, parents and adults shaped by these things. Oh, did I mention...TV? lol. And the CIA and its allies have worked for decades (three generations) to shape every one of these institutions and venues that affect beliefs, values, social norms, and economic pressures to create a National inSecurity State-synthesized experience called The American Experience. Just like some kind of ride at Disney. *rim shot* And this produces nationalism, militarism, consumerism, racism, sexism, and all the necessary divisions and distractions that keep enough, not all, enough Americans doing what CBS, Exxon, Walmart, and Halliburton want them to do. Free will can only work with what it "knows." So the idea is to control what people "know." Robert Reed, Professor Pan, others reading RI, we aren't the targets of mainstream propaganda because we are highly-informed critical thinkers. Most propaganda is for "low hanging fruit" of more easily influenced Americans. Each war in the last 100 years has produced an updated effort at manipulating large populations. The 1999 NATO bombing of Kosovo was the first war where the internet was considered an important factor to dial in because it was instant and international whereas previously propaganda could be more localized. That eliminated much of the compartmentalized aspects of propaganda which is best used when crafted for specific demograph groups in specific demographic areas. Thus the wholistic aspect of cross-marketing propaganda by the US government stepped up yet again just as it did after the Vietnam War years when the right wing upped the dose on the greater American Patient. This is an excellent history of the institutionalization of what the Pentagon calls Strategic Influence.
