I think this is more of a sickness then anything else...

Automated computer systems which manage information away from peering eyes are inherently corruptible because of their predictability along with only a small few people that understand how they work; despite all of the knowledge being in the public domain.

I will focus on this story I read in the early morning hours Tuesday March 14

In general terms the use of surrogate, news shell organizations is produced to manipulate the ranking of legitimate information. They use similar layouts, systems, and technologies to manage the ranking schemes. As well each site notably is no frills, something of a generic advertisement, and very limited amount of primarily a days worth of content. Please visit the links yourself; the layouts and information are identical.

I couldn’t find Brocktown, NV in a google search or a Google Earth search. I can’t find it in google but it has an online news service?

I can find a city with only 20 residents using Google Earth but I can’t find a city with an online news paper?

In most the links provided the reference ID is the same value. All follow a redundant pattern indicating the same logic was used to produce these sites in bulk, the use of the same ID value tells me the reference the same row in a shared data source.


These links are distinctly different from either to the story published on Yahoo, and the stories source Reuters.

They look the same, served up from the same place, and present the exact same information associated to some places that don't even exist and places that do from all around the world.

There was something else significant about the story I had highlighted. The manner it was reported and then revised, to no one and from no one. Scary if you think we have phantom reporter and phantom “U.S. military spokesman”. Take a second to think about that; WTF are people not taking credit for “revising” such facts?

If you think about what the story originally said it’s quite an accusation. I was lucky enough to have skimmed it in the early morning before it was hacked to crap by nobody of any worth mentioning. It specifically tied the facts “lone US Security Contractor” and “carrying explosives”. So how does that meld with protocol and reality? I don’t believe contractors or anyone is allowed to venture out by themselves. I cannot conceive any reason for a lone contractor to be ferrying around explosives in Iraq? Any legitimate reason would likely have a legitimate military escort one would think; not some lone nameless contractor, being reported by a person without a name, who received their information from someone else who doesn’t have a name either. The only real name on the story is its brand, not much help.

Simply altering stories content doesn’t make it history, but a story that gets broadcast via better channels will. An interesting AP story was released just minutes prior to the American security contractor story being updated. It was titled “Iraq Foils Plot to Put Terrorists at Posts” and what I found most interesting is that it was being reported to the press just that day, but had taken place three weeks prior. As if, now I am speculating, it was sitting on a shelf waiting for it to be needed.

Now this story was distributed through channels that have higher distribution and at greater numbers. Who do you think a news organization for a town that doesn’t exist is for? It’s for show!

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&q=%22Iraq+foils+plot+to+put+terrorists+at+posts%22&btnG=Search+News

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=%22+American+security+contractor+briefly+held+in+Iraq%22&ie=UTF-8&filter=0

The first link generated a total of 42 results while the second was 12 results. These numbers don’t matter much in the days after a story is reported the damage is quickly done.

This is a primary method of controlling the placement of a story by how many times it is replicated. The automated systems gauge results based on scoring, and a story that gets higher distribution is just going to seem more important then a lesser distributed story. Also what is gauged is the quality of the source, a real city, or regional news organization such as the Modesto Bee’s, or the Oakland Tribune’s reports will score better because they are part of distribution networks.

The shells have are used to generate more results for the story about doing “good” over the unaccountable American security contractor ferrying around explosives all by his lonesome in his car. BTW the choice between an MP5, M16, or an AK47 is not really a choice; but they have distinct signatures when fired.

Some shit stinks too much to just ignore the smell.

I posted my first draft of this on the Conyersblog and another poster was kind enough too look a little deeper and found some other interesting bits out; thank you Reed31463.

It seems that AP didn't first know that it had reported their story, how ever since the AM when I first checked to 5:15pm PST they regained their memory and were hosting it on their own site.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/I/IRAQ_AL_QAIDA

It is of no real consequence to them other then a terrible sloppy job in self distribution.

Sum it up

Take the two stories I highlighted above, one with a starting distribution of 12 and the other of 42. One with modified facts with no ones name on it. The other takes three weeks until they decide to report about it. One tells a story about good work in stopping a very large gang of saboteurs from infiltrating the Iraqi army in mass, and being caught; a good out come story. The other is a story of a security contractor who was once thought to have been carrying explosives in his car; but then nobody told us otherwise. And besides we still can’t figure out why he was traveling by himself being a US security contractor, with a pair of AK47’s, and something mistaken as explosives?

This is the part that sickens me, disgusts me, and is a disgrace to any proper version of this country that I can recall or imagine. This is also why no one can point it out; people accept labels described by even the moranical in authority, and it’s been the save you ass grenade favorite since 9-1 1 to threaten people with being unpatriotic. Your not being a good “supporter” of the operators who are required to fulfill these actions ordered and described by others shtick. The others are the self described leadership in this country who hide reality and have told many bold lies to move our patriotism to back their desires. We are supposed to choke on their failures with our patriotism, until who has enough?

This story doesn’t make sense no matter how patriotic bull you pile around it. It’s about a contractor by himself ferrying around explosives in Iraq with no military escort, and then suddenly let free. The story was “revised” as incorrectly reported, but yet there is no one to take responsibility for the information and still considered news. How can we trust what we cannot verify?

Fact:

Only three buildings in the history of steal and concrete framed structures are recognized as had completely collapsed in the time it would take a rapid “controlled” demolition to do seemingly the same work. They were all “written off” officially being ruled that “regional fire” located in the upper superstructures “heated” the steal until it gave, leading to a total structural failure.

Fact:

Until these three completely uncharacteristic instances of heat from a carbon fire had only been reached under conditions found in a laboratory environment. From the time the BOTH buildings began to move until they were rubble on the ground was not dissimilar from the time a dropped bowling ball would descend from the same height.

The question:

This is in fact the problem with the whole collapse of these buildings they fell with NO active resistance impeding their collapse; seriously it so implausible it’s not possible the structures had some resistance still in them before they collapsed still freaking standing. To believe these buildings didn’t resist their own weight and that they would fall at speeds of an object without any resistance at all, just doesn’t make much sense.

Katrina Katrina - Questions the press is avoiding!
I want to use this post to present questions not being asked by our press about hurricane Katrina.

---

Who ordered the Coast Gaurd to withhold the fuel, after they had just told Jefferson Parish to come get it?

Why were orders given to FEMA to cut the emergency communication lines in Jefferson Parish on September 3?

Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard

MR. BROUSSARD: ...

Let me give you just three quick examples. We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, trailer trucks of water. FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. FEMA--we had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, "Come get the fuel right away." When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. "FEMA says don't give you the fuel." Yesterday--yesterday--FEMA comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines. They cut them without notice. Our sheriff, Harry Lee, goes back in, he reconnects the line. He posts armed guards on our line and says, "No one is getting near these lines." Sheriff Harry Lee said that if America--American government would have responded like Wal-Mart has responded, we wouldn't be in this crisis.

But I want to thank Governor Blanco for all she's done and all her leadership. She sent in the National Guard. I just repaired a breach on my side of the 17th Street canal that the secretary didn't foresee, a 300-foot breach. I just completed it yesterday with convoys of National Guard and local parish workers and levee board people. It took us two and a half days working 24/7. I just closed it.

he New York Times once again the framer of record
http://nytimes.com/2005/09/09/national/nationalspecial/09military.html?ei=5094&en=29839ee3ffe8c2ba&hp=&ex=1126238400&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&pagewanted=print&adxnnlx=1126238047-S23bBqnAG4ioB3hyOwxpUA


To seize control of the mission, Mr. Bush would have had to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows the president in times of unrest to command active-duty forces into the states to perform law enforcement duties.

"While troops can conduct relief missions without the legal authority of the Insurrection Act, Pentagon and military officials say that no active-duty forces could have been sent into the chaos of New Orleans on Wednesday or Thursday without confronting law-and-order challenges."

Looks like they needed a little law and disorder, like the propaganda that was so widely reported in our free anything but "dead bodies" press. In the end, the hype reported was hardly worth the coverage it got; especially over the pain and suffering being had by the overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens abandoned by our lovely corporate controlled Government. We saw frames defining credibility such as looters and takers; maybe they thought we wouldn't see the color coding.

then comes the spin.

"Can you imagine how it would have been perceived if a president of the United States of one party had pre-emptively taken from the female governor of another party the command and control of her forces, unless the security situation made it completely clear that she was unable to effectively execute her command authority and that lawlessness was the inevitable result?" asked one senior administration official, who spoke anonymously because the talks were confidential.

Here they go again flip flopping making it about one of their old standby issues “Is a woman good enough”. She fucking put Bush in his place, and this guy (meaning me) has the lack of ego and enough respect for people to see when someone does a great job; you go lady. The frame: Was she good enough? You know this is all suggestive garbage they shovel for distraction right?

Then they talk about all the problems that frame fault away from the untouchable gay-waving frat-boy cheerleader who has a website devoted to his overtly strange obsession with the word fabulous. It's all a distraction, that keeps you away from what went wrong.

There is another tidbit for the bullshit highlight reel:

The federal government rewrote its national emergency response plan after the Sept. 11 attacks, but it relied on local officials to manage any crisis in its opening days.

Did you get that? They said DHS fucked up without admitting it, when they rewrote the plan to manage an emergency after Bush's first big failure to respond. These smart guys gave themselves a pretty wide birth of time to respond. Something they obviously utilized in this operation in order to manage the perception of chaos. The chaos wasn’t caused by a lack of security it was caused by the effect of the devastation and those responsible neglected to pay attention to the nuance; somewhere the president has repeatedly said he doesn’t like to get lost. Well that dislike just killed many Americans.

Instead of framing it why don't I just quote my thesaurus at dictionary.com, Negligence the word is found as entries in the following list of words.

disregard, fault, forgetfulness, indifference, injustice, lapse, laziness, malpractice, neglect, violation,

One of those is what happened in this debacle, and now the author of this crap printed in the "Paper of Record" wants to start playing media musical chairs with this reality and who it belongs too at the end of the day.

It would have worked too if they had not been caught playing the advocate of the chaos. You know the frames of "we didn't know who had control so we couldn't accept help". 10 days later the squishy looking fruity-boy that never answers jackshit states "It was always the presidents responsibility" after being asked "Who was ultimately responsible?" enough that you stopped hearing the question. Timelines show the presidents merry men turning away food, medicine, and hundreds of rescue workers; because they didn’t know their boss was in charge. Can you tell me how that is anyone’s fault but the frat-boy who wanted to grow up to be “Commander in Chief”?

The dividing space which doesn't really exist
One of the most wonderful things that I have realized myself is that although we all hold sturdy political positions that differ; they all revolve around the same emotions of the same reality, our families. The crutch that we need to bust from is that we are so different, when the reality is I think most people politically sit very close. The media, politicians, and others have turned our democracy away from its design, as a system of accountability. We often get so lost in the finger pointing that accountability is the last thing on our minds; we are now at a place where we don't expect accountability in government anymore. For me at least this is a very scary and dark time for our democracy.

I may define my self as a Democrat, but that doesn't define who and what I respect or believe. I am a deep patriot with an old soul, and a love for this country that can bring me to tears in an instant. I want to be able to tell my two girls the same things my parents told me about the American dream. I actually want to leave them a better country then it is today. It’s a habit from being an environmental conservative leaving campsites in a better condition then when I arrived.

Our culture and roots can tell us where we come from but they don't ever define our future. The future is really what we make of it and I am always optimistic. I also am not a Bush fan as you already know, but after 9/11 I gave him too much credit. I allowed my emotional feelings towards the beliefs of others to enrage my ability to seek the pertinent questions before I supported the Iraq efforts. I was wrong, yes it would be easier if I wasn’t but it wouldn’t make my position right, or better, or easy.

I am also not a religious man, although I was raised catholic, attended catholic private school, and even was an alter boy. I have nothing but fond memories of my experiences yet I found my own faith to be a fraud. The religion wasn't the fraud I don’t see knowledge of any kind as a fraud, even my knowledge that is wrong. It was my belief that religion in any form didn’t give me deeper and clearer insight into the person I wanted to become. I was being a fraud to myself attempting to understand something infinitely complex like a human being with something that limited the complexities in everything with a specific ideology, perspective, or religion. John Lennon actually said it best “I don’t believe in Beatles I just believe in me.” I can only count on myself to build my own perspectives and to discern reality, I will be wrong but I must turn myself into the wind and keep fighting for the truth; it’s all we have in a democracy.

The CIA world fact book says there are almost 300 million Americans. We have come to believe we can fit all the information pertinent to them in a couple of hours in spaces of time we call news. I happen to think that we are more complex then this. I love to flip things around and change my own perspective because it opens me up to the possible realities that may exist. 300 million Americans are all watching almost the exact same news, about the same subjects and trying to find the one program out of a half dozen that best suits the perspective they already have.

That doesn’t mean much until we know how that affects our awareness of the information we consume. One of my favorite topics to bring up to people is inflation. It is something that most people assume they can’t understand. The only thing they need to really understand about it is that when the value of money goes up those who hold the money automatically have more.

There are only a couple of hundred thousand I am not sure of the exact number but it’s way less then 1% of Americans, that make more than 200,000 dollars a year. Why does this group of people who own the bulk of the money and assets in America get more for doing nothing? I never found this question asked in the news. I know it is my own question and it remains for me unanswered.

I think what I am getting at is you can’t be sure what you don’t know until you know you don’t know it. If you only think inflation is about how things cost more you would never know that it’s really about the value of money and while the distribution of money doesn’t change its value does. Those who have the money benefit greatly from a system that holds the rest of us under it’s thumb; simultaneously increasing the value of those that control it while reducing the value of those that don’t.

An unconnected story this week also illustrates the problem with trimming information. I am not sure that you are aware a four star general was relieved of his duties last week. The news stated it was because of infidelity, at the time he was a week away from finalizing his divorce. He had been separated from his wife and she even condoned his relationship with this other woman. The woman was not in the military so there was no conflict in dating a subordinate. He was also three months from eligible retirement. This particular officer had joined as a private and earned his way all the way to four stars. Now who doesn’t have respect for the effort this man has given his country? No special treatment in his career he had to earn it, in the end to get railroaded out on some BS that he is having an affair. I would think this would be a liberal media’s wet dream to expose this injustice.

We are taught that we all have the same ability to achieve success in this country. The reality is without accountability a man who dedicates his life’s work to his country can be tossed aside when he gets in the way of the people who pull the strings in the system.

This war is morally indefensible
If you have come to believe that the words “fixing the facts around the policy,” means anything other then “fixing the facts around the policy” your stupidity continues to make heroes out of the love of our mothers. One of those mothers happens to have camped herself outside the presidents retreat to ask a question about those words. The president somehow believes that although those words were used to describe his actions that our soldiers are being sent to their deaths nobly. She has made it her responsibility to understand what was so noble about the cause her child and many others was sent off to die for.

If you find yourself defending against the opinion of a grieving mother you need a reality check. How deluded does someone have to be to question the love a mother has for her child? Every time a voice stands opposed to this president a pattern of sleaze and slime oozes from the infotainment ditto brigade to assail that voice. Why shouldn’t we assume they are doing it for the man they are protecting?

Who in their right mind defends a president’s lack of performance and reality by bashing a grieving mother? I hope that if I ever acted so asinine my own mother would slap that dumb out of me!

There are too many grieving mothers who only think about two things. That they will never see their child again and for what “noble cause” has their child been sacrificed?

We shouldn’t hesitate to engage these moms in order understand their plight, especially if we can’t empathize with them, because “we the people” are creating them. I could almost forgive the few corporations who own the news supply chain for completely missing the boat on a grieving mothers reality. Except that the very meaning of the society that I love and embrace is accountability. It is because of accountability that I will not ever forget how a grieving mother was treated by the perpetually wrong supply chain of news.

In fact that there is no one available to be accountable to a grieving mother of our fallen soldiers is bad enough. Watching the presidents pack of political hit men attack this grieving mother for doing the job they pretend to only exposes, to this American there is nothing more important to them but their president. Attacking a mother in such a state shows that anyone who cracks the facade of the man whose image they keep painting over will suffer their wrath. It is an epic fraud wake up America!

Now for reality, no matter what tactic is used against a grieving mother she will always be morally above it all. Her love and pain is pure, unlike the motivations of politicos. There are not many images more powerfully tuned to the human soul then that of a mother morning the loss of her child. This is an image we should all know well because it is our lack of compassion towards her loss and her reality that will turn more of the love our mothers into fallen heroes. Someone has to be accountable in a democracy there should be no exceptions. Not even for a president who has always had exceptions for his

A German TV show found that the White House's translation of the "confession" video was not only inaccurate, but even "manipulative".

Mistranslated OBL video - Germany’s Channel One investigates

On 20 December 2001, German TV channel “Das Erste” broadcast its analysis of the White House’s translation of the OBL video that George Bush has called a “confession of guilt”. On the show “Monitor”, two independent translators and an expert on oriental studies found the White House’s translation not only to be inaccurate, but “manipulative”.
