If you want to make good people hate other good people, accuse them of crimes they did not commit. This is the essence of disinformation: sowing discord among natural allies, or at least between people who had been living in peace.
The essence of leftwing propaganda in this country–which is clearly a remnant or, better, continuation of Soviet propaganda–is designed to make decent human beings hate other decent human beings for no reason other than that the second group is accused of a crime it did not commit.
Take racism: the people in this country who believe and act on the belief that black people are inferior are Democrats, and particularly so-called black leaders.
Take sexism: the people who want war on traditional femininity, who wage war on women’s right to be whoever they choose, including dutiful mothers and wives, are leftists. The abortion issue is about the lives of unborn children: the babies, when born, can obviously be taken elsewhere, which will make them irrelevant to the life of the mother, so HER life is not what is at issue. SHE does not have to raise the child. That baby is not HER body: it is its own life.
I was reading today this very enlightening interview with a Rumanian intelligence officer sufficiently highly placed that he was in regular contact with then-KGB head (remember, he became dictator of the Soviet Union) Yuri Andropov.
Among things I learned were that there was a sustained effort to demonize Pope Pius at the end of WW2 because he was an ardent anti-Communists, and excommunicated all Catholic members of the Communist Party. Because of this Soviet and other disinformation agents made him appear a Nazi sympathizer, when he was nothing of the sort. He hated all totalitarianism.
Operation Ares was designed to convert people into blaming the violence of Communism on the United States government during the Vietnam War era. If you recall the facts, “Ho Chi Minh”–the name Nguyen Ai Quoc, if memory serves, gave himself when he became a Communist–was a co-founder of the French Communist Party around 1920, just after the Bolshevik coup. He was a lifelong Communist, and Communist International agent. His agents spent World War 2 killing competing, non-radical, Vietnamese nationalists. The Vietnam War was ALWAYS nothing more or less than a Communist invastion of the South by the North with the intent of establishing a totalitarian dictatorship, and using the tools of mass murder, mass torture, dissolution of families, forced relocations of precisely the sort we inflicted on the American Indians, except much more massive in scale, and much more brutal, and an extensive police network.
Clearly, they succeeded. We won on the battlefield, and only lost in the war for accurate information.
The Soviets fielded more disinformation agents than soldiers during the Cold War. If they had a million men at arms, they had that many or more being paid to warp minds, distribute false information, induce doubt in the minds of sensible people, install hate and fear, and pervert media.
Perhaps half of what the average person “knows” about this period is outright lie, and another quarter highly skewed. Exhibit A is Joe McCarthy. We KNOW, beyond any doubt, that our government and media complex were filled with Communist traitors. They still are. These people make rational dialogue, based upon actual concern for living, breathing human beings impossible. Andropov would have been happy to put a Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid on his payroll.
The Soviets worked hard to direct suspicion about Kennedy’s assassination towards the American government. He mentions that here: http://pjmedia.com/mihaipacepa/ It was called Operation Dragon. When I called Alex Jones a Communist mole some time ago, this is what I had in mind. I of course don’t literally believe that–I think he has done good work–but I think his reflexive blaming of George Bush for what was clearly a conspiracy on 9/11, was unhelpful. Could it not have been Putin, as I have alleged, perhaps in tandem with ultra-wealthy internationalists?
The Soviets figured anti-Semitism equaled terrorism equaled anti-Americanism, and by and large they were right. Much of the radicalization of the Islamic world likely dates back Soviet era agitprop.
He even in the original interview provides a history both of the genesis of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (it was apparently based on a French satire), and their use by disinformation agents.
All in all, it seems clear most of us live in a dream world, a fantasy world, and that is exactly where a lot of people want to keep us. All those of us who have any luck at all exiting the Matrix can do is speak the truth to the best of our ability, and as often as we can.
