DER ANGRIFF
If
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then somewhere (hell,
perchance?) Joseph Goebbels is basking in celebration. Certainly the
infamous propaganda minister for The Third Reich has to be proud of the
Obama administration's bold use of his tried and true tactics of mass
deception. Coordinated and "manufactured" stories and pseudo-events
pour through the media daily, all in deliberate lockstep with the
"Community Organizer In Chief's" agenda to remake Amerika into a
socialist/fascist state more susceptible to deception and, ultimately,
control. Consider these headlines which appeared in newspapers across
the country on April 7th and 8th, 2009:

There
are considerably more examples than this but I think you get the idea.
All of these stories were "supplied" by an organization called
"Families USA." Actually they are nothing more than one of many
liberal/progressive advocacy groups working under the larger umbrella
of something that calls itself the "Progressive States Network." And
who, praytell, would you imagine that they receive their orders from?
Why none other than our good friends at ACORN (Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now) and the SEIU (Service Employees
International Union).
Incidentally, aren't these the same people
who are attempting to backdoor engineer the so-called "fairness
doctrine" under the concept of "localism?" Yet none of these stories
that appeared all across the country in "local" media sources were
actually generated locally. Oh, the hypocrisy of the
progressive/socialist left!
"I am absolutely determined that
by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have
universal health care in this country." -Barack Obama
President
Obama made this claim during the campaign that got him elected. Now he
has initiated the propaganda campaign that he hopes will help him to
fulfill that promise. Unfortunately, as with most propaganda campaigns,
accuracy, honesty and truth take a back-seat to partisan objectives.
The mainstream media, an active participant in the Obama propaganda
machine, continues to tout the figure of 47 million Americans without
health insurance. However, as always, this figure is both misleading
and distorted. Data from the Census Bureau reveals:
• 9.5 million people are illegal aliens.
•
8.3 million uninsured people are those who make between $50,000 and
$74,999 per year and choose not to purchase insurance.
• 8.7 million uninsured people are those who make over $75,000 a year and choose not to purchase insurance.
Not
particularly the kind of uninsured "victims" that the American people
should be enthusiastic enough to overhaul their entire medical
apparatus just to rescue are they? Why do so many people CHOOSE not to
get health insurance that they CAN afford? Because 60% reported
being in "excellent health or very good health" and purposefully
decided not to buy insurance, a not unreasonable choice. Once we
subtract these willfully uninsured from the original number we are left
with approximately 20 million uninsured, that less than 7% of the
population! Does 93% of the population really want to jeopardize the
best health care system in the world over something that is most
definitely NOT a crisis? There are ways to help the remaining uninsured
that do not involve such a radical response as this president is
proposing. The "crisis" in health care is false. You want to improve
the system? Put limits on the judgements one can recieve for a
malpractice/negligence lawsuit. However, since almost EVERYONE in
government is a lawyer, and they tend to profit from such litigation, I
wouldn't hold my breath for such tort reform.
The new U.S.
Propaganda ministry (a.k.a. the mainstream media) doesn't satisfy
itself with the mere misrepresentation of facts. Deliberately
manufactured events and photo opportunities are just as useful in
portraying our new president as something other than what he is. A
recent "surprise visit" (c'mon "Clockwork Orange" fans) by the
president to visit the troops in Iraq was plastered in the media all
around the world. If you believed your lying eyes you thought the
troops were elated to see the president. They were cheering and
gathering around him in much the same way as they did for his
predecessor who was very popular with them. The Associated Press
expressed it thusly:
WASHINGTON – President Barack
Obama went for the defining television shot by capping his first
extended foreign tour with a surprise visit to Iraq. He got it –
pictures of hundreds of U.S. troops cheering wildly as he told them it
was time for the Iraqis to take charge of their own future. The
war-zone photo opportunity produced a stunning show of appreciation for
Obama from military men and women who have made great sacrifices, many
serving repeated tours in a highly unpopular war. - AP
But
alas, you didn't see what you thought you saw. As it turns out the
entire event was no "surprise visit" at all, but was instead a
thoroughly planned and orchestrated event. When the curtain is pulled
back we learn that all of the soldiers that were invited to greet the
president on this fabricated "surprise visit" were, in fact, questioned
beforehand so that only those who revealed themselves as having voted
for Obama would be in attendance.
That wonderful cheering
welcome that President Obama received with his unscheduled surprise
visit to the troops in Iraq, was entirely a staged event. The troops
were interrogated beforehand, with those military members who had voted
for President Obama given identical digital cameras and placed in front
of the media cameras covering the event. - Minority Report
Uh-Oh...
A sergeant who was there explained the subterfuge. “We were pre-screened, asked by officials ‘Who voted for Obama?’, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.” - Minority Report
Isn't it strange that all these soldiers managed to have their cameras with them when the president "surprised" them with his visit? And don't they all look remarkably similar? Isn't that curious considering the plethora of different cameras there are on the market? But really, has this administration shown any competence at ANYTHING? Why would we presume they would be all that good at deception?
Do you remember that episode of the classic TV show "The Brady Bunch" where Greg Brady was made into a rock star because he fit the suit that the record company already had? They even hired girls to attack him everywhere he went so he would look like a star. Barack Obama's presidency is playing out much the same way. Everything is controlled and contrived, and he is not going to deviate from the pre-arranged plan. It worked to get him elected and as long as he keeps the mainstream media in his pocket, he hopes he can continue to manipulate public opinion through these deceptions. And boy does he have the media in his pocket!! Consider these recently revealed facts from the Center For Media & Public Affairs:
Total network news coverage for the first 50 days:
Obama 27 hours- 44 minutes-- Reporting 58% Positive
Bush 7 hours- 42 minutes -- Reporting 33% Positive
Clinton 15 hours- 2 minutes-- reporting 44% Positive
Obama’s news coverage for the first 50 days:
CBS 10 hours 46 minutes -- Reporting 58% Positive
NBC 9 hours 38 minutes -- Reporting 61% Positive
ABC 7 hours 20 minutes -- Reporting 57% Positive
Fox- Bret Baier 10 hours 24 minutes ( from the first 30 minutes of the show)--
Reporting 13% Positive
I would like to say these numbers are surprising but, unfortunately, we all knew this to be true. However what IS surprising is how blatantly and shamelessly journalists have sold their integrity. And for what? Like Esau in the famous Bible story, it would appear to be for food! Well, maybe not for food but certainly the transaction did take place over dinner. A recent report from Howard Kurtz revealed that David Bradley of the Atlantic Monthly has been, for over a year, regularly hosting dinners that allow certain elitist journalists to mingle with A list members of the Obama campaign and administration. These exclusive dinners are ongoing even as his campaign has become his administration. Who are these elitist journalists that merit invitations to these exclusive dinners?
"Among those in regular attendance are David Brooks and Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Gene Robinson and Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post, NBC's David Gregory, ABC's George Stephanopoulos, PBS's Gwen Ifill, the New Yorker's Jane Mayer, Vanity Fair's Todd Purdum, former Time managing editor Walter Isaacson and staffers from Bradley's Atlantic and National Journal, including Ron Brownstein, Andrew Sullivan and Jonathan Rauch." - Washington Post
And you wonder how Obama gets such favorable reporting!! Don't be too impressed by all those polls that show Obama to have a high approval rating either. Numbers and statistics are even easier to manipulate than journalists...and they eat less! Barack Obama first conquered the media and effectively made them into his propaganda ministry. They have a lot invested in him. They need him to succeed to cover their own a**es. Those polls that originate from media sources reflect a higher opinion of Obama than the more respectable (and accurate) polls used to track elections. He is not nearly as well approved of as is being reported. But remember, according to the media in Germany during WW II, they were always winning the war, even as the American and Russian armies were destroying their country. When your entire government is built on a foundation of deception and manipulation, you cannot ever abandon those methods. Certainly Joseph Goebbels would approve of Obama's methods. But then again, both Joseph Goebbels AND Barack Obama are...SOCIALISTS!!
Der Angriff (meaning "The Attack" in English) was a newspaper founded in 1927 by Joseph Goebbels.
Dear Comrade:
How can you insinuate that polls and photos are somehow slanted .... or worse yet, controlled?
Jump on the Socialist Bus! It's awesome. I won't have to work ... yet I will be fed, clothed, housed, and medically taken care of while doing so!
Who cares that the bread lines and medical lines will be loooong!
It will all be .... FREEEEEEEEE
