Israeli "trolls" on Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Alison Weir

People should be aware that Wikipedia, Facebook and other places sometime contain individuals who post items while misleading people about their identities.

Please keep in mind that facebook and other online forums are in many ways anonymous and, according to several articles in the israeli media and elsewhere, are infiltrated by IDF soldiers and students with false identities. 

See, for example http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142374#.UHjVdRgYLuw and http://electronicintifada.net/content/ei-exclusive-pro-israel-groups-plan-rewrite-history-wikipedia/7472 and http://www.dailystormer.com/israeli-students-paid-2000-each-to-troll-the-internet/comment-page-1/

I expect that some of the posts critical of me originate with such "trolls," as they are apparently called.

British public wrong about nearly everything, survey shows

Comment: Hardly surprising since much of our mainstream media and education system is utterly useless. And we know what the story is in the USofA....

-------------------------

The Independent

A new survey for the Royal Statistical Society and King's College London shows public opinion is repeatedly off the mark on issues including crime, benefit fraud and immigration.

The research, carried out by Ipsos Mori from a phone survey of 1,015 people aged 16 to 75, lists ten misconceptions held by the British public. Among the biggest misconceptions are:

- Benefit fraud: the public think that £24 of every £100 of benefits is fraudulently claimed. Official estimates are that just 70 pence in every £100 is fraudulent - so the public conception is out by a factor of 34.

- Immigration: some 31 per cent of the population is thought to consist of recent immigrants, when the figure is actually 13 per cent. Even including illegal immigrants, the figure is only about 15 per cent. On the issue of ethnicity, black and Asian people are thought to make up 30 per cent of the population, when the figure is closer to 11 per cent.

-  Crime: some 58 per cent of people do not believe crime is falling, when the Crime Survey for England and Wales shows that incidents of crime were 19 per cent lower in 2012 than in 2006/07 and 53 per cent lower than in 1995. Some 51 per cent think violent crime is rising, when it has fallen from almost 2.5 million incidents in 2006/07 to under 2 million in 2012.

- Teen pregnancy is thought to be 25 times higher than the official estimates: 15 per cent of of girls under 16 are thought to become pregnant every year, when official figures say the amount is closer to 0.6 per cent.

Among the other surprising figures are that 26 per cent of people think foreign aid is in the top three items the Government spends money on (it actually makes up just 1.1 per cent of expenditure), and that 29 per cent of people think more is spent on Jobseekers' Allowance than pensions.

In fact we spend 15 times more on pensions - £4.9 billion on JSA vs £74.2 billion on pensions.

Hetan Shah, executive director of the Royal Statistical Society, said: "Our data poses real challenges for policymakers. How can you develop good policy when public perceptions can be so out of kilter with the evidence?

"We need to see three things happen. First, politicians need to be better at talking about the real state of affairs of the country, rather than spinning the numbers. Secondly, the media has to try and genuinely illuminate issues, rather than use statistics to sensationalise.

"And finally we need better teaching of statistical literacy in schools, so that people get more comfortable in understanding evidence."

Bobby Duffy, the managing director of Ipsos Mori Social Research Institute, said: "A lack of trust in government information is also very evident in other questions in the survey - so 'myth-busting' is likely to prove a challenge on many of these issues.  But it is still useful to understand where people get their facts most wrong."

Huffington, Greenwald and the Birth of the Purple Pill Media

Vigilant Citizen Forum
Paul W. Marko PhD.

In order to neuter the raging cobra of the alternative media, the globalists seem to be launching several new platforms of their newest mongoose, what I will call the “purple pill media.” This most recent ploy aims to make the outrageous behaviors of the ruling class (like possibly staging 9/11, the moon landings, the Kennedy assassinations, multiple false flag operations, etc.) food for polite discussions rather than the shameful affronts to humanity and civilization that they really are.

Based on a conceptualization hatched by brilliant Irish thinker and artist, Thomas Sheridan,[1] his notion of the “purple pill” is a take off of the red pill and blue pill idea birthed in the original Matrix movie. Thomas astutely observed that when new ideas, edgy trends or expressions of authentic rage emerge organically from the populace (the red pill of reality), the movements are quickly infiltrated, watered down and sterilized by the powers that be. As an example, the hippie, anti war movement of the 60’s, a true awakening by a generation that were no longer willing to swallow the hypocrisy of the American dream (red pill), became swiftly co-opted and diluted into politically acceptable, anti war goop, ushering many into the purple pill of loyal opposition to war and causing still others in the flock to double back into the blue pill of the mainstream conservative society. Other examples range from the original hip hop music to the sincere beginning of the Black Power movement; the strategy is to infiltrate, twist and water down the message, such that it no longer has teeth, cannot mobilize action or threaten the establishment.

Over the past few weeks, major globalist money has been thrown into partnerships with media trendies and supposed “pals of the people,” to begin new “alternative” media networks. Arianna Huffington, the famous conservative turned liberal and Glamour Magazine’s woman of the year, signed a deal with billionaire Nicolas Berggruen to start a new media company, World Post news website.[2]  Berggruen is the founder, benefactor and inspirational leader of the Institute on Governance, an organization dedicated to solving the problems of globalization in the 21st century.[3] At the same time Glenn Greenwald, internationally known journalist and releaser (excruciatingly slow – 1% revealed so far) of the documents leaked by Edward Snowden, signed a $250 million dollar deal with Pierre Omidyar, owner of Pay Pal corporation, to start a media vehicle.[4] Greenwald said that it was his dream to have an outlet like this to “promote in-depth reporting.”4 

Likely not too in-depth on some subjects, however, since his “Angel Investor’s” company has been and still is a compliant party to the NSA spying program exposed in the Snowden leaks.[5] Just to assure you that these are not unrelated coincidences, Omidyar is on the editorial board of the new World Post news website.[6] These new “alternative media” funded by globalists and fronted by celebrities, I propose, will form the basis for the purple pill media or just the purple media.

But what can we expect to find on these venues?

Since the idea is to make the outrageous, criminal acts of the globalists mainstream and easy to swallow, “conspiracy theories” will be acknowledged and investigated in stories that will fully express the facts in the story. This article will be likely answered by an establishment expert, someone with a mountain of credentials but no scruples, assuring the public that although the facts of the case are true, there is no danger involved and many logical reasons why the situation exists. After which, the matter will be debated on a public forum, in a civilized manner and then filed under interesting but irrelevant. For example, a story that reveals that chemtrails exist and governments throughout the world are spray aluminum, barium and strontium particles on the earth in vast amounts in combination with various viruses and nano-technology could emerge on these websites. The original article (red pill) will be followed by an article interviewing a leading expert on everything in the sky explaining that the program does exist and indeed it is spraying those particular particulates, but not to worry, these measures are important to save the planet from global warming (purple pill). The publication will then move to the next subject leaving the “informed” readers to make up their minds on this controversy, thereby converting the red pill of global genocide from the sky into the purple pill of a cocktail party topic for discussion. 

If I am correct the purple pill media will likely expand their platforms into television outlets with game shows like the old Wheel of Fortune, with questions like, “Now for the bonus round and chance to come back next week…Who ordered the Norad stand-down on 9/11? There could be a reality show called “Escape from Abu Ghraib” where the public will get used to the prisoner and captor roles and consider them quite purpulishly normal.

These new outlets are a very expensive chess move on the part of the globalists that we can easily counter by knowing the aim and sticking with the red pill of truth and outrage.

BBC – British Brainwashing Corporation

RINF

Media coverage of protests against so called austerity measures (the piracy of state assets by international corporations), demonises protesters, ignores the political nature of protests and legitimises state violence against demonstrators. The mainstream Spanish and Greek press emphasise independence of protests from political influence, and report peaceful protests – the occupation of public spaces by camping, etc. – more than violent ones. De-politicisation of protests is also achieved by covering personal stories of individual protesters, focusing  on their particular circumstances  – “Maria, a nurse until last year, and currently unemployed”.

Another tactic of corporate mouthpiece media is to ignore protests. The British Brainwashing Corporation (BBC) hardly gave mention to the tens of thousands of people who clashed with police in central Madrid in March 2014. Our media masters did not see fit to show protesters being beaten with batons as they attempted to storm the headquarters of the ruling Conservative Popular Party.They dished up the usual menue of escapist bilge. They did not show the six columns of protesters, each from a different Spanish region, who carried banners proclaiming: ‘Marching for dignity’, nor a parallel protest of ‘mass civil disobedience’ in  Barcelona, in which riot police again beat demonstrators with batons as they began to smash the windows of banks. The protesters marched under a banner proclaiming: ‘Disobedience 2014. They can’t control us if we disobey’.

These protests mirror ones in Greece, Italy, and Portugal. At best, the BBC might show them as footnotes, as in the case of the NHS march in Manchester in 2013, which attracted 50,000 protesters, and this comment, directed to the BBC director, Chris Patton, from Labour Party shadow health minister, Andy Burnham: ‘It was therefore a real surprise to me to return home to find what I consider only cursory coverage of the event on BBC news bulletins. As far I could see, there was no specific coverage and it was only mentioned in the wider context of Conservative Party Conference’. A real surprise? Really?

The BBC has become a mirror image of the political class – a cabal of champagne-swilling news editors from posh boy suburbs, totally cut off from the reality of declining living standards and job insecurity experienced by the masses. Its flagship news broadcasts might as well be beamed from Murdoch Towers.

They dare not show banners proclaiming: ‘Disobedience 2014. They can’t control us if we disobey’. They do not want the enslaved to develop that worst of all eventualities – a dangerous  idea.

WH Counterterror Chief: Parents Need to Watch for ‘Sudden Personality Changes in Their Children’

Comment: And the Pathocracy expands...

----------------------------

CNS News

In a speech delivered at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government on Tuesday evening, White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Lisa Monaco said it could help prevent terrorism if parents watched for “sudden personality changes in their children at home.”

“President Obama has been laser-focused on making sure we use all the elements of our national power to protect Americans, including developing the first government-wide strategy to prevent violent extremism in the United States,” said Monaco, in a transcription posted by the White House.

“At the same time, we recognize that there are limits to what the federal government can do,” said Monaco. “So we must rely on the partnership of those who are most familiar with the local risks, those who are in the best position to take action—local communities.

“Local communities are the most powerful asset we have in the struggle against violence and violent extremism,” she said.  “We’ve crunched the data on this. In the more than 80 percent of cases involving homegrown violent extremists, people in the community—whether peers or family members or authority figures or even strangers—had observed warning signs a person was becoming radicalized to violence. But more than half of those community members downplayed or dismissed their observations without intervening.

“So it’s not that the clues weren’t there, it’s that they weren’t understood well enough to be seen as the indicators of a serious problem,” said Monaco.

“What kinds of behaviors are we talking about?” she said. “For the most part, they’re not related directly to plotting attacks. They’re more subtle. For instance, parents might see sudden personality changes in their children at home—becoming confrontational. Religious leaders might notice unexpected clashes over ideological differences. Teachers might hear a student expressing an interest in traveling to a conflict zone overseas. Or friends might notice a new interest in watching or sharing violent material.

“The government is rarely in a position to observe these early signals, so we need to do more to help communities understand the warning signs, and then work together to intervene before an incident can occur, while always respecting our core commitment to protecting privacy and civil liberties,” said Monaco. “During the past several years, that’s what we’ve attempted to do."

Snowden, Booz Hamilton, Carlyle, and the spider web

No More Fake News
Jon Rappoport


Edward Snowden worked for Booz Hamilton, a private company, and was assigned by his employer to work at the NSA. 

The infamous Carlyle Group owns a majority stake in Booz Hamilton.
Carlyle manages global assets of roughly $170 billion. The companies it invests in employ 650,000 people. 

Others have run down the important names connected to Carlyle, from George HW Bush to Frank Carlucci to James Clapper, James Baker, etc.

With Booz Hamilton, Carlyle, and NSA, we are in the house of the military-industrial-intelligence complex.

With a cursory glance at a search engine, you’ll also be able to make connections between Carlyle and Goldman Sachs.

This is a section of the spider web that operates nations and banks and wars and surveillance.

Enter Edward Snowden with his 20,000 or 58,000 or 1.2 million or 2 million documents. Enter Glenn Greenwald and several other reporters. At the rate the documents are being released, it may be several hundred years before people see them all.

Snowden states his objective has nothing to do with derailing legitimate anti-terrorism operations. He wants to let the public know they are an ongoing target of illegal NSA surveillance.

The front men for the spiders keep pounding away on “the traitorous Snowden” who has endangered the war on terror.

Who’s winning so far?

Have we seen any large reduction in NSA spying? Will we?

Or have the spiders decided it’s quite useful to let us know we’re being watched? It intensifies their power. It broadcasts the fact that, yes, everybody is a potential criminal.

Isn’t this precisely what’s necessary to enact new, more draconian rules limiting freedom?

And what about suggestions and threats to confiscate bank accounts; and recent mass shootings; and off-the-cuff pronouncements about how many people have mental disorders; and the militarization of local police forces; and over-the-top federal purchases of ammunition?

Aren’t these all propaganda signals that the American population is dangerous?

And what does the government do when confronted with danger?
It presses harder on the guilty to protect the innocent—except in this case, there are no innocents.

Invent the threat, stamp out the threat.

And make trillions of dollars in the process.

It’s a superior form of mind control when you can get millions of people to say, “Yes, good, spy on me, spy on everybody, we live in dangerous times, and of course I’ve done nothing wrong, I keep my eyes straight ahead and my mouth shut, I never disagree with official policy, so I’m fine, go after the bad people and keep me safe…”

Perfect.
