De laatste jaren vinden ‘veteranen’ van de geheime diensten in de VS hun weg naar de reguliere (massa-) media, die toch al niet te klagen hebben over regeringsgetrouwe berichten brengen, om nog maar te zwijgen over het brengen van een enorme berg ‘fake news’ waarmee die media regeringsbeleid ondersteunen, zoals het illegaal oorlogvoeren in landen waar de VS niets, maar dan ook helemaal niets te zoeken heeft……
Wat betreft het ‘regeringsgetrouwe karakter valt nog wel wat te zeggen: het grootste deel van die media, of beter gezegd de multimiljonairs of grote investeerders die deze media in het bezit hebben, lusten Trump niet, maar staan uiteraard pal achter zijn wanbeleid, of dat nu in het binnen- of buitenland wordt gevoerd…. Zo roert men in die media met grote graagte de verdoemde oorlogstrom en is men dolblij met de meer dan schunnige belastinghervormingen, die alleen de welgestelden en grote bedrijven ten goede komen………

‘Deep
State’ CIA Veterans Finding New Homes in the Mainstream Media

(CN Op-ed) — “Former
CIA director John Brennan has become the latest member of the NBC
News and MSNBC family, officially signing with the network as a
contributor,” chirps a recent
article by
The Wrap, as though that’s a perfectly normal thing to have to
write and not a ghastly symptom of an Orwellian dystopia.
NBC reports that
the former head of the depraved, lying,
torturing, propagandizing, drug
trafficking, coup-staging, warmongering Central
Intelligence Agency “is now a senior national security and
intelligence analyst.”
Brennan,
who played
a key role in
the construction of the establishment’s Russia narrative that has
been used to manufacture public consent for world-threatening
new cold war escalations,
is just the latest addition in an ongoing
trend of
trusted mainstream media outlets being packed to the gills with
stalwarts from the U.S. intelligence community. Brennan joins CIA and
DoD* Chief of Staff Jeremy
Bash on
the NBC/MSNBC lineup, who is serving there as a national security
analyst, as well as NBC intelligence/national security reporter
and known
CIA collaborator Ken
Dilanian.
Former
Director of National Intelligence, Russiagate
architect, and known Russophobic racist James
Clapper was
welcomed to the CNN “family” last
year by Chris “It’s
Illegal to Read WikiLeaks”
Cuomo and now routinely appears as an expert analyst for the network.
Last year CNN also hired
a new national security analyst in Michael Hayden**, who has served as CIA Director, NSA Director, Principal
Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and an Air Force
general.
Former
CIA analyst and now
paid CNN analyst Phil
Mudd, who last year caused Cuomo’s show to have to issue
a retraction
and apology for
a completely baseless claim he made
on national television asserting
that WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange is “a pedophile”, is once
again making
headlines for
suggesting that the FBI is entering into a showdown with the current
administration over Trump’s decision to declassify the
controversial Nunes memo***.
More
and more of the outlets from which Americans get their information
are being filled not just with garden variety establishment
loyalists, but with longstanding members of the U.S. intelligence
community. These men got to their positions of power within these
deeply sociopathic institutions based on their willingness to
facilitate any depravity in order to advance the secret agendas of
the U.S. power establishment, and now they’re being paraded in
front of mainstream Americans on cable news on a daily basis. The
words of these “experts” are consistently taken and reported
on by
smaller news outlets in print and online media in a way that seeds
their authoritative assertions throughout public consciousness.
The
term “deep state” does not refer to a conspiracy theory but to a
simple concept in political analysis which points to the undeniable
reality that (A) plutocrats, (B) intelligence agencies, (C) defense
agencies, and (D) the mainstream media hold large amounts of power in
America despite their not being part of its elected government. You
don’t need to look far to see how these separate groups overlap and
collaborate to advance their own agendas in various ways. Amazon’s
Jeff Bezos, for example, is deeply involved in all
of the aforementioned groups:
(A) as arguably the
wealthiest person ever he
is clearly a plutocrat, with a company that is trying
to control the underlying infrastructure of the economy; (B)
he is
a CIA contractor;
(C) he is part
of a Pentagon advisory board;
and (D) his purchase
of the Washington Post in
2013 gave him total control over a major mainstream media outlet.
Bezos
did not purchase the Washington
Post (WaPo) because
his avaricious brain predicted that newspapers were about to make a
profitable resurgence; he purchased it for the same reason he has
inserted himself so very deeply into America’s unelected power
infrastructure – he wants to ensure a solid foundation for the
empire he is building. He needs a potent propaganda outlet to
manufacture support for the power establishment that he is weaving
his plutocratic tentacles through. This is precisely the same reason
other mass
media-controlling plutocrats are
stocking their propaganda machines with intelligence community
insiders.
Time
and again you see connections between the plutocratic class which
effectively owns
America’s elected government,
the intelligence and defense agencies which operate behind thick
veils of secrecy in the name of “national security” to advance
agendas which have nothing to do with the wishes of the electorate,
and the mass media machine which is used to manufacture
the consent of
the people to be governed by this exploitative power structure.
America
is ruled by an elite class which has slowly created a system where
money increasingly translates
directly into political power,
and which is therefore motivated to maintain economic injustice in
order to rule over the masses more completely. The greater the
economic inequality, the greater their power.
Nobody
would willingly consent to such an oppressive system where wealth
inequality keeps growing as expensive bombs from expensive drones are
showered upon strangers on the other side of the planet, so a robust
propaganda machine is needed.
And
that’s where John Brennan’s new job comes in. Expect a consistent
fountain of lies to pour from his mouth on NBC, and expect them to
all prop up this exploitative power establishment and advance
its geopolitical
agendas.
And expect clear-eyed rebels everywhere to keep calling it all what
it is.
