Step by Step Productions:
Scripted, Talking Points, PR and Staged Narratives
Donna Brazile, the DNC, and [Endless Colluded Corruption]
Right off the bat, Richard Eskow sets up a MSM cover, deflection, and downplay article: “Aren’t there better things to argue about? As it turns out, there are.”
Aside from this “play/write it safe as possible” PR blather, in relation to Donna Brazile and ongoing corruption within the DNC, this whole related context demands “things to argue about” – vehemently, but not in the MSNBC/CNN-style of Scripted/Pre-approved Talking Point Presentations – fulfilled upon Staged Productions.
Prime Example:
“And she’s quick to pronounce the DNC innocent of actions, including her own, that are . . . widely known.”
Right there, we have a bottom line, a core, and the overriding Truth.
Yet, he immediately follows this up with two sentences which destroy his and the article’s entire credibility:
“Still, Brazile is right on the particulars. And it’s hard not to admire her courage, book promotion or not.”
Just literally sickening: “it’s hard not to admire her courage” – while discounting the PR campaign for a Book Tour ($1 million dollars profit?).
Here’s an example of Donna Brazile’s courage:
Further Acts and Scripts – In The Name of Jesus Christ and God:
Quote: “As a Christian woman I understand persecution, but I will not stand here and be persecuted because your information is totally false.”
“Stop and think about . . . that sort of bald-faced (Worldwide TV) Lie [for a moment.]”
Next: “Don’t re-litigate the past.” “This time around, I couldn’t agree more. Let’s litigate the future instead.”
Yes, “We must look forward, not backward.” Wait! That sounds so familiar! And, did that mentality help us to right so many critical wrongs that were done on the world stage – thus, actually enabling them to exponentially propagate?
Again: Just – Literally – Sickening.
Then: “A reformed Democratic Party should” blah blah, blah = As If!
Why “As If?” For one among multitudes:
“The DNC picked a bunch of sleazy lobbyists as superdelegates, can’t figure out why no one is donating.”
Within Controlled confines, nothing will change – beyond reworkings of Scripts, Narratives, Presentations, and Staged Productions.

Remember an Alternate Headline:
Leaked: Outlined PR Plan for Worldwide TV Show
A Step by Step Production:
“today and tomorrow we use” – “Monday and Tuesday we can pivot” –
“throughout next week and next weekend” – “Then we start a theme”
Ask:
At what (scripted) page of the Production are we on?
Consider again:
How much of what I see, hear, and read is . . . Controlled?
To what extent? How far under do those Narrative tentacles feed?
How long has this been going on?
And, what more does this “Leak” actually tell us?
Then, don’t be surprised by an eventual Final Act Production Note:
“Planned hits.”
And know:
The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as people who ‘believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ […] ‘That’s not the way the world really works anymore,’ he continued. ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.’
In a series of Narrated Setups: First, Star Chamber interests decide what directions and actions are needed to fulfill what has been chosen for implementation. Next (after successful steps), many months (or even years) beforehand, they dispense Talking Points to concerted operatives, pliable/collusive publications, and fronted or “reliable” “news” sources. Then, the people are (sold) “informed” incrementally as to what is inevitably upcoming. Thus, under the guise of Facts simply being reported, it works (exceedingly) as a well-timed machine.

Paradise Papers and the Truth
Paradise Papers and International Oligarchy
Sanders said the trove of more than 13 million leaked documents detailing offshore dealings “shows how these billionaires and multinational corporations get richer by hiding their wealth and profits and avoid paying their fair share of taxes.”
Sanders said the documents expose a “major problem not just for the U.S. but for governments throughout the world.”

Re: Vile Voices and Darkest Cores
By expressing your warped and disgusting conviction (“one of the good things about the bible – we can pick and choose the passages that we will apply to our lives and ignore the rest”) as if it applies to everyone, you exposed and revealed your darkest core.
First, the quote from Jesus Christ is wholly relative to the article as it regards the predominant evil of those who are rich beyond imagination, but still can never be satisfied; whether it is millions, billions, or trillions, many (as evidenced endlessly) will go to any extremes necessary to avoid even paying taxes – though they would have enough afterward to live five or ten lifetimes in opulence. That is called “context.” Ever heard of it? What was the message, in context, of the article? What was the message, in context, of the quote? The answer to the latter and former is that they each intertwined, completely. But, you could never admit to the truth of the clarification, for those areas are not of your concern. Thus, to relegate this to “pick[ing] and choos[ing]” is to purposely incite and viciously denigrate as a saboteur – without informed relevance or respect to anything or anyone.
Next, do you know me, at all? Do you know any of my history as a human being, activist, progressive, or dedicated Christian? You know nothing about me, which makes your accusation, lacking any basis whatsoever, twice (at least) as ignorantly foul and malicious. If a passage from the Bible is appropriate in a response, it may be referenced – yet, only with/through reverence. But again, you know nothing about me, nor do you give a damn. To someone like you, it obviously makes no difference, for the main goal is to tear down at every opportunity (however primitive your knowledge) through premeditated goals of creating needless chaos and havoc.
Further, beyond being a basic saboteur, are you also an atheist who trolls while hypocritically attacking others who have different belief systems? Don’t bother answering (any of the questions), for nothing you could say would justify your obscene filth of denigration to such a magnitude. When you reach into the lowest, despicable gutter by openly denigrating the Bible (as if it is joke material), therefore Christians, Jesus Christ, God, and what is overall Holy, your vile voice is no longer welcomed – in any manner.
P.S. In case “Don’t bother answering” and “your vile voice is no longer welcomed” was above your head, there will be no further replies.
Global Oligarchy and Greed as a Religion
“The essence of oligarchy is that the billionaire class is never satisfied with what they have. They want more, more and more—no matter what impact their efforts have on working people, the elderly, children, the sick and the poor. Greed is their religion” – “while governments enact[ing] austerity budgets” across the world is another coinciding Key to their ancient belief systems.

The broader point is that . . . these surveillance agencies have vested themselves with the power to deliberately ruin people’s reputations and disrupt their . . . activity even though they’ve been charged with no crimes, and even though their actions have no conceivable connection to terrorism or even national security threats.
Government plans to monitor and influence . . . communities in order to sow dissension and disseminate false information, have long been the source of speculation. Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein . . . wrote a controversial paper in 2008 proposing that the US government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites, as well as other activist groups. Sunstein also proposed sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups” which spread what he views as false and damaging “conspiracy theories” about the government.

How Karl Rove [and Bush] Played Politics While People Drowned
https://www.salon.com/2008/06/06/rove_katrina/
“The story that day Karl Rove was feeding was: ‘The president is on the job, the president has taken control, the president is going to rebuild, and despite the fact that the government and all these babbling fools down here can’t do anything, the Corps of Engineers is on the job.’ So we landed at the canal, five minutes from my house. I was so excited because they were finally doing something. The Corps of Engineers was there, and they had dump trucks and sandbags. All the cameras were there for the president, who was doing one of his famous press conferences about how he was going to do everything.”
“I swear as my name is Mary Landrieu I thought that what I saw with the president was still there — people working, trucks, sandbags, everything. Then I looked down and saw one little crane. It was like someone took a knife and stabbed me through my heart. I lost it.” There, in the cabin of the helicopter, as they flew above the breached canal below them, Landrieu sat devastated. “I could not believe that the president of the United States, staged by Karl Rove himself, had come down to the city of New Orleans and basically put up a stage prop. It was like you had gone to a studio in California and filmed a movie. They put the props up and the minute we were gone they took them down. All the dump trucks were gone. All the Coast Guard people were gone. It was an empty spot with one little crane. It was the saddest thing I have ever seen in my life. At that moment I knew what was going on and I’ve been a changed woman ever since. It truly changed my life.”

Made my day, as I also imagined FDR smiling in acknowledgement.
Ever since his time of dedication (with spirit) to providing paths for the common good, for all, for the downtrodden to whatever level necessary (if/when needed), there has been a growing cabal willing to cross any line of ethics, morals, or soulless humanity, in order to utterly destroy everything accomplished through those steps of (evolved) progress. Their Social Darwinistic/Ayn Randian hearts were always both cloaked and clear. But now, after decades of collusion, the time has come – to celebrate, openly, since those paths so despised will soon be left as dust in history books. And later, they will implement finishing touches, as those very books are revised.

Military Psychological Operations and US Strategy: “the planned use of communications to influence attitudes or behavior should, if properly used, Precede, Accompany, and Follow all applications of force. Put another way, psychological operations is the one weapons system which has an important role to play in Peacetime, Throughout the spectrum of conflict, and During the aftermath of conflict.”
In other words, the U.S. government could engage in PsyOps virtually Anytime because there are always “periods of acute tension involving a Threat to the lives of American citizens.”

Not Even Orwell or Huxley Could Have Imagined ‘Totalitarian’ Threat Posed by Facebook and Google, Warns Soros
Soros used the spotlight of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday to urge the international community to take seriously the threats posed by Facebook and Google, which he said could ultimately spawn “a web of totalitarian control” if they are not reined in.
Particularly alarming, Soros said, is the prospect of Facebook and Google—which he scathingly deemed a “menace” to society—teaming up with “authoritarian states” to “bring together nascent systems of corporate surveillance with an already developed system of state-sponsored surveillance.”
Such “unholy marriages” could result in a strain of authoritarianism “the likes of which not even Aldous Huxley or George Orwell could have imagined,” the billionaire investor cautioned.
With Certain Grains of Salt (for Soros, this CD article and Robert Parry’s):
Silencing Dissent: [A]ny American who questions this propaganda immediately is dismissed as a “Kremlin stooge” or a “Russian propagandist,” another ugly campaign spearheaded by the Post and [collaborating entities]. Again, no [plausible] evidence is required. . . .
[U]nder the guise of combating “Russian propaganda” and “fake news,” Google, Facebook and other tech giants have begun introducing algorithms to hunt down and marginalize news that challenges official U.S. government narratives. . . .
As Democrats, liberals and [many] progressives join in this Russia-gate hysteria . . . they might want to consider whom they’ve climbed into bed with and what [they] have in mind for the future.
Arguably, if fascism or totalitarianism comes to the United States, it is more likely to arrive in the guise of “protecting democracy” from . . . another foreign adversary. . . .
The New McCarthyism with its Orwellian-style algorithms: a structure for letting . . . neocons [, the DNC, associated collaborators] and the mainstream media monopolize American political debate might be a far greater threat to both democracy and peace.

A Tribute to Robert Parry: Independent Journalism at Its Best:
https://fair.org/home/a-tribute-to-robert-parry-independent-journalism-at-its-best/
Frustrated with the limits and compromises of corporate media—he was once told that a story on Contra financial skullduggery had to be watered down because Newsweek owner Katharine Graham [“We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn’t.”] was having Henry Kissinger as a weekend guest—Bob launched his own online outlet, Consortium News.
When Gary Webb revived the Contra/cocaine issue in August 1996 with a 20,000-word, three-part series entitled “Dark Alliance,” editors at major newspapers already had a powerful self-interest to slap down a story that they had disparaged for the past decade.
It was still out of bounds to discuss how the Iraq invasion violated the Nuremberg principle against aggressive war and the United Nations Charter, which bars attacking another country except in cases of self-defense or with the approval of the UN Security Council.
Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/01/28/robert-parrys-legacy-and-the-future-of-consortiumnews/
In particular, the U.S. media’s approach to Russia and related issues, such as the violent ouster in 2014 of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, became “virtually 100 percent propaganda,” Bob said.
Remembering Investigative Journalist Robert Parry
https://www.thenation.com/article/remembering-investigative-journalist-robert-parry/
No one knew better than Bob Parry how intelligence agencies and major media outlets can create a cascading frenzy. Beginning in late 2016, Bob was prolific as he debunked the torrent of hyperbolic claims about Russia that became an ever-present flood across the US media landscape. Some progressive sites went from often posting his articles in 2016 to rarely or never posting them in 2017.
“For years, the mainstream, establishment media have, by their malpractices in covering US-Russian relations from Ukraine to ‘Russiagate,’ been deeply complicit in the unfolding of this new Cold War and its unprecedented dangers,” said Russia scholar Stephen F. Cohen, a contributing editor at The Nation. “Bob Parry, very often alone, exposed those malpractices, especially those committed by the powerful New York Times and Washington Post, misreported story by misreported story, sometimes daily. For this, he was ostracized, slurred, certainly ignored by mainstream media.”
Outpouring of Support Honors Robert Parry
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/02/01/outpouring-of-support-honors-robert-parry/
Filmmaker – and friend of Bob’s – Oliver Stone wrote on Facebook Tuesday: “Robert Parry’s death Saturday night leaves a giant hole in American journalism. To my mind, he exists now alongside I.F. Stone, Drew Pearson, George Seldes, Gary Webb, and others as seekers of truth at the steep price you seem to have to pay to follow your common sense and your integrity when they are in direct opposition to the tyranny of mainstream media conformity.”

“The only reason governments operate the way they operate, the only reason money works the way it works, the only reason power exists where it exists, is that we’ve all agreed to play along with some made-up mental stories about those things and pretend that they are true and real.” Absolutely not true, as a blanket statement. Absolutely shifts the blame to the victims. We, the predominance of the 99%, have not “agreed to play along.” When 98% (+/-?) of the entire world’s Narrative is wholly Controlled, we are relentlessly subjected to their complete propaganda – where the only choice to escape it and find reality is to constantly seek any remaining truth within the 2% (+/-?).
This isn’t a game. We have no time to be playing around cheering for the silencing of political opponents while the noose gets tighter and tighter.

The people whose names, ages, and mugshots Berkeley police blasted out on social media [Had Not Even Been] arraigned or convicted of any crime.” https://shadowproof.com/2018/10/03/berkeley-police-posted-mugshots-activists-create-counter-narrative-protests-far-right/
Now: Attacking someone for (truthfully or not) having BiPolar Disorder, with impunity – and, for the world to see.
The question: Where are we?
First, they came for the Conspiracy Theorists, and not enough realized the long-term goals of the (star chambered) conspirators. Next, they came for those daring to even speak Truth to Power, and not enough realized the long-term goals of the (star chambered) conspirators. Then, the level of worldwide Controlled Narratives was exposed through the most obvious Pys-Op of a McCarthyite Russian Campaign, and not enough realized the long-term goals of the (star chambered) conspirators. And finally, though just enough (of those who were not blind or awakened) saw that It Was All Coordinated as Staged Lies, the (star chambered) conspirators continued their onslaught, completely emboldened – for the time had come to fulfill last steps of those long-term goals.
Obama Confidant’s Spine-Chilling Proposal: Cass Sunstein Wants the Government to “Cognitively Infiltrate” Anti-Government Groups [et al]
[See] Obama’s head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he [was] responsible for “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs.” In 2008, while at Harvard Law School, Sunstein co-wrote a truly pernicious paper proposing that the U.S. Government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-“independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites – as well as other activist groups – which advocate views that Sunstein deems “false conspiracy theories” about the Government.

NBC – et al: To Be Smeared As Russian Assets – Wittingly:
“Russia’s propaganda machine discovers 2020 Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard” – “Experts who track websites and social media linked to Russia have seen stirrings of a possible campaign of support for Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard” – to Twitter: “The Kremlin already has a crush on Tulsi Gabbard.”

“Even more hilariously, the source [was] . . . New Knowledge.” As with the First Draft Coalition, there is nothing hilarious about it. Step by step, as scripted and staged, this is the next planned point: NBC News, world stage, boldly crammed into everyone’s faces. This is no longer a “McCarthyite environment of Russia hysteria”; it is now, blatantly, beyond. “This article is of course [obscenely] absurd.” Yes, and this is where/when they know that most know what is actually taking place. “[T]hey got their ‘new Pearl Harbor.’” “[T]hey got their” retroactive immunity. “[T]hey got their” (never to end) war on terrorism. “[T]hey got their” desired memos – to cover all. “[T]hey got their” WMD modus operandi. “[T]hey got their” new definitions (torture is enhanced interrogation). It is time, their time, the very time “they” concocted. And, anyone who dares stand for or speak Truth to Power will be targeted – obviously, ruthlessly, soullessly.

#VenezuelaAidLive: Staged: https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/02/23/anyone-buying-this-venezuela-bullshit-is-a-complete-fucking-moron/#comment-9357)
The bridge Branson has been posing in front of for his “billionaire philanthropist” photo-ops has never been open for travel.
But, if anyone speaks: Pompeo: “[The] U.S. will take action against those who oppose the peaceful restoration of democracy in #Venezuela,” “[a direct] reference to those who do not back a regime change.” Is that clear enough? If you are on this forum expressing Truth, think about that threat, for you are among “those who oppose.”
This even applies to those with the ability/means to speak (who can defend themselves): Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Slams Richard Branson for Fronting US Trojan-Horse “Aid” to Venezuela
“It has nothing to do with the needs of the Venezuelan people. It has nothing to do with democracy. It has nothing to do with freedom. And it has nothing to do with aid.”
While Kevin Tillman’s article was welcomed in our time of 99% controlled narratives and worldwide staged productions, I will only criticize as follows: https://commons.commondreams.org/t/a-call-to-halt-an-illegal-invasion-of-venezuela/60732/29
Don’t use caveats, for they mainly serve the Lying/Opposing side by way of providing obvious cover for the author, while also giving credibility to whatever the current scripted/propagandized focus.
Examples:
“To be clear, this is not an endorsement of Maduro…”
“Venezuelans also are dealing with a politically divided country…”
“In all fairness to members of the Trump administration…”
Imagine it’s February 5, 2003: Bill Gates is about to host an #IraqAidLive Concert on the border, before the world (simultaneously presented to the UN) – because WMD were assuredly proven to be hidden in various food storage warehouses. Since these discoveries, he proclaims, their populace is forbidden to eat. As the opening song is about to begin, the following streams across every medium on the planet: “We know where they [Iraq’s WMD] are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat.”

Billionaire views and Billionaire news: Pierre Omidyar’s Funding of Pro-Regime-Change Networks and Partnerships with CIA Cutouts
https://www.mintpressnews.com/pierre-omidyar-funding-of-pro-regime-change-networks-and-partnerships-with-cia-cutouts/255337/
“To [Omidyar] it’s … about … integrating things together to give technocrats, business executives and government officials a God’s-eye view of the world — to manage and control society more efficiently.”
Lastly, and moreover, if anyone speaks, even those with the ability/means to defend themselves, how far will they “take action against” them? Will they be mysteriously followed and harassed? Will they be charged, unconstitutionally, with crimes that have no merit – as with Deia Schlosberg, Lindsey Grayzel, and Chase Iron Eyes? Will they, somehow, lose their jobs – without explanation? Will it be a combination of all the latter and former, culminating with their pictures inserted instead on the following? : Marco Rubio: These Are the Levels of Our Threats
Where are we? What stage is this? What does it mean?
Thanks, MSNBC, et al
No matter how many years of what has been undoubtedly seen, no matter how many thousands of violations of what was clearly done even though the truth was known, we are still left with such vomit-worthy provisions of cover as the following: “Matt Taibbi’s excellent article titled ‘It’s official: Russiagate is this generation’s WMD,’ which describes the mass media’s spectacular failures to ask the questions that needed to be asked and demand the evidence that needed to be demanded for the claims advanced in the Russiagate narrative.” By God, and damn it, this wasn’t because of “the mass media’s spectacular failures” – again! This was because they all colluded completely and blatantly. Period! Virtually every time such a point is reached, people of any prominence, like Matt Taibbi, ruin, through cowardice, another chance to unequivocally clarify the maniacal level of what took place by offering the offenders credibility – on a platter. Why do they do this? To remain safe? To maintain status? For whatever sickening reasons they do this, it fully serves to fulfill a continuance of the same manufactured world stage pictures those in control create. These were conspiratorial actions on a worldwide scale, where almost everyone knew they were Lying and Boldly cramming it into our faces, regardless of any destructive magnitude – because now they can, without (current) repercussion. For those who have the ability, why not speak Truth to Power – without destroying your voice and message in the process?

YouTube Financially Deplatforms Swath Of Indie Media Accounts
After more than 74 years of concerted worldwide coverups, total disinformation operations, and “conspiracy theorist” shaming of everyone/anyone who tried to come forward with stories in opposition, now there is “a growing [campaign] among defense officials around the world [promoting a completely controlled new narrative which nefariously inverts the previous narrative of something actually being] ‘out there’ – and that it [definitely] pose[s] a genuine global security threat.” Always remember: Virtually nothing happens in this place/on the world stage without it having been scripted, step by step, and as to how and when the PR/Propaganda Releases will take place. Summary: In a series of previously created chapters: First, Star Chamber interests decide what directions and actions are needed to fulfill what has been chosen for implementation. Next (after successful steps), many months (or even years) beforehand, they dispense Talking Points to concerted operatives, pliable/collusive publications, and fronted or “reliable” “news” sources. Then, the people are (sold) “informed” incrementally as to what is inevitably upcoming. Thus, under the guise of Facts simply being reported, it works (exceedingly) as a well-timed machine.
