See how the CIA runs mainstream media for national security projects.

This week's covers of CIA-Time and CIA-Newsweek (8/11/08) are typical
binary agents of subliminal racism used to get those 50% of US military recruits that come from the slave states. ..I mean the old southern slave states, not all of them today.

Both magazine covers are in black and white to emphasize skin color themes.
One shows Obama's and McCain's faces side by side..
The other shows an old plantation house with the caption, "The End of the South."

This has been done using Obama on the covers before, too, the week of December 10, 2007 with Obama on one cover titled "The Contender" and a bare pregnant white woman on the other cover and then a special Great Crimes of History issue as a message-amplifying third cover, all three covers in black and white and red.

Yes, 'Birth of a Nation' is still playing in America and you can see it in Spielberg, Lucas, and Disney movies, too. "Argh. Cannibals!"

Spooks have researched how to channel hostility, frustration, tension, etc. into desired responses. Thus many people are herded quite efficiently by CIA media cowboys.

So media racism is a social control device used just like farmers spreading manure on a field to
>prevent popular unity
>sustain economic disparity
>desensitize people to suffering
>and especially used to harvest military recruits.

So in this 2008 (s)election season Obama is being used for Confederate agit-prop recruiting when the McCain campaign goes into Negative Land.

Every single day spooks wrangle those dowgies in and out of safe pastures as needed.
"But they can't get a saddle on you if you stand up."

Hugh, this feels right, these two magazines cover synch up and feed off each other quite often, and not usually in the interest of the predominant news story of the week. It's almost as if they spy on each other's editorial board meetings...

Did you see this thread? I wanna see your comments on the yahoo image there.

They are the same people. No spying necessary.
Time and Newsweek are made for slightly different audiences but poured from the same tap.

Psyops is carefully designed for each demographic to allow for minor stylistic and perceptual variations. That's what makes it all seem to be 'different independent voices.'

Yahoo shenanigans in China. Sure. I see Yahoo every single day and it is state of the art spookery.

Yahoo's front page cleverly synthesizes and juxtaposes the three types of spook script - news, amuse, commerce - much the same way that television united the psyops used in movies and radio.

Except Yahoo is able to change in real time to adapt to the day's news cycle.
And with analysis of the individual user, we will get user-specific psyops soon.

user-specific psyops soon.

What, like www.five.org.uk?

This is not hard to imagine as I get spam that is clearly tailored to my buying habits and the home page of my isp has ads that are also tailored to my interests.

I worked for a time for a market research firm and also for a non-profit fundraiser. This was 20 years ago now. I imagine the state of the art info management has progressed in the last 20 years. The information we used and gathered was treated as a valuable commodity to be bought and sold. Surely this is beyond dispute.

I am sure that if someone wanted to they could produce an astonishgly detailed portfolio/analysis of my life's history, my likes and dislikes, my likely cultural, social and political affiliations, demographic details... etc.

It used to require actual human beings to gather this sort of data. Would any reasonable human being argue that there are not now enormous data bases which use sophisticated software to assemble such portraits? Would any reasonable human being argue that such data bases are not being used by intelligence agencies to propagandize the herd?

I have to agree with you on that. I can't put my finger on it exactly, but there really seems to be something offensive about the Yahoo front page. It's like a condensate of all the worst parts of the mainstream media.

I agree. Time and Newsweek almost certainly know what each other's cover story will be. That, and Time had in the past taken quite a shining to putting spooks on the cover. I doubt they're getting any explicit prodding by the mil-intel guys, but the boards of both magazines clearly have Langley and the Pentagon's best interests in mind, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have occasional calls to discuss edit/content policy.

But that said, as someone pointed out, the bias in the media isn't left or right, it's profit. Don't rock the boat when you've got a good thing going. Scare people occasionally. Cover non-issues like the "death of the South."

And let's not forget the O.J. Simpson "shadow over his reputation" fiasco, either. Though we should keep in mind that the military over-represents minorities.

At least it lives up to its name.

OT but

I realised this only a little while ago and am still pretty dumbstruck by the razing of the personal-political landscape (that media exists to provide a window on) that has been enacted. We have lost so much, there are many many people who have never heard of the existance of the concepts they need to reclaim their lives and livelihoods. e.g. there is increasing ostensible motivation for US gov to ditch at least corporatised militarism (cost, soldier moral, corruption blowback..) but v.few voices even suggesting that it might be possible. Thats not natural, and the lack of frank or illuminating mainstream media in a sea of Agents Smiths is to me damning if circumstantial evidence of a very firm hand on the tiller.

Hugh, what's your problem with Dean Radin? Been asking that for about two weeks in various threads.

Short answer: CIA, SRI, and DARPA.

Need more?

Yeah, absolutely. Acronyms don't really explain much. Actually, they don't explain anything at all.

It's more likely that the perceived thematic connection between the two covers is coincidental. There is zero evidence that Time and Newsweek collaborate on their covers, and plenty of evidence that this "psyop" is located between your ears, Mr. Manatee.

Remember in the 70s when Bruce Springsteen found himself on the covers of Time and Newsweek simultaneously? PSYOP?

Agreed.

OT - That's a great crop circle documentary - I have the whole thing on my hard drive, if you want to put it on your YouTube account (probably against the YouTube rules though.) I can't seem to find another full copy of it online.
