Neocon Police State Spreads Disinfo and Paranoia

Since when does an 81-year-old retired University of Kansas history

professor, corresponding with a devout Catholic retired Filipino

history professor, pose a threat to the national security of the

United States? Of course, the answer is never. However, the fact the

Ministry of Homeland Security opened Grant Goodman's mail has nothing

to do with national security or " al-Qaeda " and it has everything to do

with sending a message—we live in a police state here in America, a

one-time constitutional republic where the authorities can and will

snoop not only your mail but your telephone, email, web destinations,

credit card statement, bank transaction records, library checkout

information, etc., ad nauseam. In fact, the reason this story appeared

on the MSNBC website is to let you know the corporate dominated

government is watching.

 

MSNBC is owned by two mega-corporations, General Electric and

Microsoft. MSNBC is simply doing its patriotic duty reporting this

intrusive underwear drawer sniffing sort of activity. GE is the

world's largest corporation by market share and makes a bundle not

simply manufacturing innocuous things such as light bulbs and

household appliances but also stamps out jet engines for Boeing and

Lockheed Martin who in turn sell military aircraft to the government

so small countries may be invaded and occupied, however tenuously.

 

In order for this handsomely profitable process to continue ad

infinitum, a police state must necessarily be erected. It stands to

reason the people will eventually militate against a situation where

they are fleeced every payday in order to line the deep pockets of GE

and Lockheed Martin and Boeing and all the other death merchants who

have a vested interest in perpetuating invasions and occupations.

 

It may seem MSNBC is simply reporting the news but in fact they are

spreading fear and paranoia—if an 81-year old guy, a retired academic

writing to a Catholic colleague, can be snooped, no doubt activists

and peaceniks can and are being snooped as well. None of these folks

have anything to do with " al-Qaeda " and the government knows it. If

the truth be told, the neocons do not consider " al-Qaeda " a threat—in

fact, the fake terror organization was long ago commissioned as a

boogeyman—but they do consider the activists, patriots, and peaceniks

a threat. Not only are they a threat to the profit margins of GE and

the death merchants, they are also a threat to the neocon plan to

decimate Muslim culture and society. So, for the moment, the plan is

to make all stripe of activists paranoid and, as well, troll a massive

amount of data about the day-to-day doings of those the neocons

consider a threat. It works pretty much the same in all police states.

 

Meanwhile, in the ranks of the far-flung patriot movement, a

COINTELPRO-like subversion and disinformation operation is in full

swing. It's an old game and works quite famously. One faction declares

other factions to be either disinfo agents or dupes. For instance,

last year, a certain podcaster and blogger declared I was unwittingly

working for the CIA, never mind that I was passing out antiwar

newspapers back in 1970 when he was in short pants (and it can be

argued I fell victim to an Operation CHAOS dirty trick, but that is a

story for another time).

 

Back in the late 60s and early 70s, the government was busy at work

subverting the mostly ineffectual so-called " New Left. " It's no secret

the antiwar and so-called counterculture movement was financed by

gatekeeper foundations and the government (for instance, in 1970 an

Illinois commission report revealed that $192,000 in government money

and $85,000 in Carnegie Foundation funds were paid to the Students for

a Democratic Society during the fall of 1969; see Ralph Epperson, The

Unseen Hand, Publius Press, Tucson, Arizona, 1985). " They (sixties

radicals) have no idea they are playing into the hands of the

Establishment they claim to hate. The radicals think they are fighting

the forces of the super-rich, like Rockefeller and Ford, and don't

realize that it is precisely such forces which are behind their own

revolution, financing it, and using it for their own purposes, " former

Communist Party member and FBI informant James Kirk told the House and

Senate Security Committees (see Des Griffin, Fourth Reich of the Rich,

Emissary Publications, Oregon, 1995).

 

Phillip Darrell Collins writes:

 

It is painfully clear that political activism in the United States

has been rendered ineffective or, in some cases, detrimental to the

activists themselves. A portion of the blame rests on the shoulders of

the Establishment, which has controlled movements through elite

funding. However, a larger portion of the blame must be shouldered by

the activists themselves. Contaminated by Hegelian memes and trapped

in dialectical snares, activists continue to help the very plutocrats

they claim to hate. Only when activists learn to transcend partisan

affiliations and develop some autonomous aptitude will America finally

see the fruits of any political activism.

 

It is my experience that the patriot movement is unable to transcend

its " partisan affiliations " and is slowly imploding with plenty of

help from the government (in the current context, under neocon

control, from within the Pentagon and the Counterintelligence Field

Activity program; for more on this, see my CIFA: The Pentagon's

COINTELPRO). Moreover, as a cursory examination of COINTELPRO reveals,

the idea was (and is) not simply to spy on activists, but mainly to

discredit and disrupt (as J. Edgar Hoover elucidated) and undermine

trust and scare off potential supporters (see Brian Glick, COINTELPRO

in the 60s). In regard to the 9/11 truth movement, the idea is not so

much to " scare off potential supporters, " but rather to make the

entire movement look like a cavalcade of idiots—thus the mixing of

UFOlogy and theories about hologram planes in with legitimate research.

 

In fact, the neocon Pentagon and associated off-the-books intel and

covert op organizations are running a massive psychological operation

on the entire population at large—from an unrelenting tidal wave of

fake news about Freddy Kruger Muslims to getting folks accustomed to

the emerging technocratic Panopticon state (see Charles Stross).

Recent " news stories, " supposedly " leaked " to the corporate media,

detailing neocon snoop efforts at the NSA, are part and parcel of this

massive psyop program, as is the latest tidbit revealed by the death

merchant owned MSNBC on the Ministry of Homeland Security reading

transcontinental mail.

 

As noted above, the neocons are running a " coordinated domestic

counter-insurgency " (as Glick terms it), long ago pioneered by General

Frank Kitson (see my General Frank Kitson: Trail Blazing Fake

Terrorism) and modified for use against domestic enemies. Kitson

called for the use of " pseudo gangs, " that is to say a state sponsored

group used to advance an agenda, while discrediting the real

opposition. Clearly, this is now happening within the patriot movement

(sometimes I believe there are more disinfo agents than real

patriots). If this covert program continues unabated, there will be no

need for mass roundups of patriots and activists, no need for the

legendary FEMA concentration camps, because the movement will implode

and the activists will become a laughingstock, completely discredited

and marginalized.
