CNN
tells us about a "covert" FBI snoop program to check "suspicious
radiation levels outside more than 100 predominantly Muslim-related
sites in the greater Washington, D.C., area, as well as various sites
in other cities," thus providing more anti-Muslim fodder for the
undiscerning American public. "It is a waste of time, it is a waste of
resources and it is causing us to be concerned about our citizenship,
our constitutional rights," Nihad Awad, executive director of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations, told CNN.
Mr. Awad,
however, is missing the point—the Straussian neocons don’t give a whit
about the constitutional rights of Arabs in America and this "covert"
program, obviously a "waste of time" that will turn up nothing, is not
designed to protect us from dirty bombs but rather to further
stigmatize Muslims as crazed terrorists. Snooping on "more than 100
predominantly Muslim-related sites" is intended to send a strong
message—you can’t trust Muslims and you may be in danger if you live
near a mosque.
It should be noted that CNN is a branch of
the 4th Army PSYOPS group staffed the National Security Council’s
Office of Public Diplomacy (OPD), "a shadowy government propaganda
agency that planted stories in the U.S. media supporting the Reagan
Administration’s Central America policies," as Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting
revealed way back in 2000. OPD is a "vast psychological warfare
operation of the kind the military conducts to influence a population
in enemy territory," according to Miami Herald. Although we are assured
OPD was shut down in the wake of revelations surrounding the
Iran-Contra criminal conspiracy, "the 4th PSYOPS group still operates,"
thus demonstrating there is not much in a name or bureaucratic
designation.
FAIR continues:
An
unofficial strategy paper published by the U.S. Naval War College in
1996 and written by an Army officer ("Military Operations in the CNN
World: Using the Media as a Force Multiplier") urged military
commanders to find ways to "leverage the vast resources of the fourth
estate" for the purposes of "communicating the [mission’s] objective
and endstate, boosting friendly morale, executing more effective
psychological operations, playing a major role in deception of the
enemy, and enhancing intelligence collection."
As
former Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski informs us, the Straussian neocons
currently hold sway over the Pentagon and presumably the 4th PSYOPS
group and other disinformation and "deception" operations. Kwiatkowski
was assigned to the Pentagon’s Near East and South Asia bureau under
the control of the execrable Zionist neocon Douglas Feith. Other
appointees hailed from neocon "think tanks" such as the American
Enterprise Institute and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
"Along with Feith, all of the political appointees have in common a
close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in
Israel," writes Jim Lobe.
Thus
it can be assumed CNN—long infested with PSYOPS operatives and the
corporate media long ago penetrated by the CIA under Operation
Mockingbird—is running yet another propaganda campaign designed to
stigmatize Muslims as the Straussian neocons, as the American branch of
the reactionary and fascist Likudites, prepare the nation for "world
war four" (as former CIA director and neocon James Woolsey deems it).
