Programs Which the Government Claims Are Aimed At Foreign Enemies are being Used Against American Citizens within the United States

The U.S. government has repeatedly claimed that it was launching aggressive programs solely at foreign enemies, and then launched them at American citizens. For example:


In 2002, the Pentagon announced that it was considering spreading false propaganda in the foreign press. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1830500.stm However, the military has spread propaganda http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/washington/20generals.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1210961478-c6PZ6Za88knmB5EycMC3Yg within the U.S. in an operation so aggressive that one participant, a military analyst, called it "psyops on steroids" http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/83541/?page=entire

For many years, the government has claimed that it was only spying on foreigners. But it is now clear that the government is massively spying on American citizen's home and cellphone calls, email and internet usage, credit card and other financial transactions, and just about every other facet of our personal lives.

The Patriot Act is supposed to be aimed at stopping America-hating terrorists. Instead, it is being used to prosecute acts having nothing to do with terrorism, http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/05/21/MN34108.DTL and to harass normal, law-abiding Americans.

Sleep well, Americans...

SUPERB find; k&r.

So, this professor at Perdue, Alok Chaturvedi, and DARPA think they can map all of mankind and predict the future with a computer program, Sentient World Simulation (SWS)- just who does he think he is, Hari Seldon?

Foundation Review: Foundation marks the first of a series of tales set so far in the future that Earth is all but forgotten by humans who live throughout the galaxy. Yet all is not well with the Galactic Empire. Its vast size is crippling to it. In particular, the administrative planet, honeycombed and tunneled with offices and staff, is vulnerable to attack or breakdown. The only person willing to confront this imminent catastrophe is Hari Seldon, a psychohistorian and mathematician. Seldon can scientifically predict the future, and it doesn't look pretty: a new Dark Age is scheduled to send humanity into barbarism in 500 years. He concocts a scheme to save the knowledge of the race in an Encyclopedia Galactica. But this project will take generations to complete, and who will take up the torch after him? The first Foundation trilogy (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation) won a Hugo Award in 1965 for "Best All-Time Series." It's science fiction on the grand scale; one of the classics of the field.

Read Asimov's Foundation (it's only about 3,000 pages) and then the article about Sentient World Simulation (3 pages), and you'll see what I'm saying: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/23/sentient_worlds/

What a waste of resources: Seldon's efforts didn't save the Empire in Asimov's books, and soon this empire will also pass, forgotten, into a distant future. Watch out for The Mule.

I have known for a while that the RW has always wanted to shape behaviors of adversaries, neutrals, and partners. They want to win at their game. However, they base their presumptions on what they know about the mind and behavioral psychology.

This is one of the reasons that religion has become a RW propaganda unit; it is the belief in something greater that can foul up their agenda. The god factor, not the propaganda god, but the immeasurable and vast belief in the better side of mankind will be their nemesis.

It would appear that there's a stretch here.

and the extra-judicial system will be used against citizens sooner or later.

So where are the Democrats reaching out to the democratically-elected Hugo Chavez? All the candidates, with the notable exceptions of Mike Gravel & Bill Richardson (although I can't account for Kucinich) have thrown Chavez under the bus in their public statements: Clinton, Edwards, Obama.

Both parties seem to be heavily involved in accepting/promoting these psyops.

If they wanted to throw the hammer down upon us, they legally could do it.

That 2000 Coup was really a COUP, wasn't it?

I'm hoping our next president will undo their hidden changes in our government, because everything is in place for the next Coup - which may even have foreign influence - to take total control. If it isn't repaired, then - heaven help us all.

This is from an awesome website! Thanks kpete - I'm going to be busy reading.

Happened in the 60's without too much trouble, so it would not surprise me that they would trial-balloon it now.

I hope their little program shows that the response would be catastrophic for them.

commercial version of such a system. Twixt hi-tech collection & collation privacy is an illusion.

"Star Wars"

got here pretty fast, didn't it?

In more recent years "blowback" has become a term associated with the unintended consequences which result from covert operations, like aiding Osama bin Laden during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

But before that, "blowback" was the term used by insiders to identify the illegal return home of psyops-generated news stories in foreign nations. One example is likely that story about the Iraqi doctor who was purportedly killing wounded Iraqi soldiers. There has been not one follow-up story in the English language that I can find, and no mention of his prosecution in the Iraqi courts.

Unless things have changed in the United States (and there is every possibility that they have, considering the criminal nature of this government), manipulation of the media for propaganda purposes is illegal, and blowback, whether intentional or not, is probably illegal as well.

That matters not one whit to the White House.
