These Age-Old Tactics Were Used To Complete The Takedown Of America [Q was a deep state misinformation campaign]
All News Pipeline ^ | 15 Jan 2021 | Stefan Stanford

Posted on 01/20/2021 9:21:44 AM PST by for-q-clinton

The top-voted comment on this new story over at the Daily Mail titled "Capitol riot has encouraged extremists fueled by racial division, QAnon conspiracies and fringe views who now pose the 'greatest domestic terrorism threats in 2021', intelligence bulletin warns - as FBI probe whether MAGA mob planned siege" was a blunt, 8-word reply: "But still won't classify antifa???? Stop the hypocrisy." And another top-rated comment: "Soooo rioting was okay for nine months? Oh, I get it. It's okay if you are wearing the correct jersey."

With Democrat-instigated Antifa and BLM burning down and terrorizing cities all across America for years completely ignored by Democrats and the mainstream media while they insanely scream 'sedition' in 2021 with Joe Biden days away from office, we're now watching age-old tactics of the 'deep state' used to 'demonize' a certain group of people, or a person, tactics which were absolutely used by the 'deep state' to 'destroy' President Trump.

And with those tactics also used to completely control the mainstream media and turn them into a full-scale anti-freedom 'Communist-style' press, as we'll explore within this ANP story, these tactics were written about in a 2016 book titled "Spooked: How the CIA Manipulates the Media and Hoodwinks Hollywood".

Using these tactics to also 'create' the 'fake news' that President Trump often warned about, which is at the same time the 'state propaganda' that we've also long reported about here on ANP, once that 'veil of lies' which has 'hypnotized' most Americans for decades is 'blown to smithereens' via the emergence of 'truth', those holding power and sway over the hypnotized masses will lose that power, but not until.

So while calling for 'truth' to emerge in the remaining few days of President Trump's tenure in office by Trump declassifying Democrat crimes upon America, including the Russian collusion hoax pushed by the mainstream media and Democrats for most of President Trump's term, we also need to take a look back at how America got into the mess we're now in, with a 'big tech' coup of our Republic in progress and 100's of millions of Americans completely and utterly clueless that they've long been lied to

First of all, the description of the book "Spooked", called "a searing indictment of our time and 'a concise and convincing essay' on the nastiness of the CIA and the power it wields over American media”.

The American people depend on a free press to keep a close and impartial watch on the national security operations that are carried out in our name. But in many cases, this trust is sadly misplaced, as leading journalists are seduced and manipulated by the secretive agencies they cover.

While the press remains silent about its corrupting relationship with the intelligence community—a relationship that dates back to the Cold War—Spooking the News will blow the lid off this unseemly arrangement. Schou will name names and shine a spotlight on flagrant examples of collusion, when respected reporters have crossed the line and sold out to powerful agencies. The book will also document how the CIA has embedded itself in “liberal” Hollywood to ensure that its fictional spies get the hero treatment on screen.

Among the revelations in Spooking the News:

• The CIA created a special public affairs unit to influence the production of Hollywood films and TV shows, allowing celebrities involved in pro-CIA projects—including Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck—unique access inside the agency's headquarters.

• The CIA vets articles on controversial topics like the drone assassination program and grants friendly reporters background briefings on classified material, while simultaneously prosecuting ex-officers who spill the beans on damaging information.

With what was supposed to be a US government agency prohibited from spying against Americans, in part because President Truman was afraid that the agency would engage in political abuse, and 'the law' not stopping the CIA from spying on Americans and conducting operations on US soil, they first ventured into domestic spying in appropriately named "Operation Chaos" in the 1960's.

And as we read below in the excerpt from the website Shadow Proof, who interviewed the author of "Spooks", Nicholas Schou, things have gone downhill into more and more chaos since. We've embedded that video interview at the bottom of this story for you.:

The Central Intelligence Agency constantly attempts to manipulate journalism on the global security state. It is part of the DNA of the spy agency to spread propaganda and spur debates undermining the truth. Yet, all too often, establishment media organizations, including their most prominent reporters, are willing accomplices in the CIA’s efforts to prevent certain stories from being told.

Nicholas Schou, an investigative journalist for OC Weekly and author of “Kill the Messenger: How the CIA’s Crack Cocaine Epidemic Destroyed Journalist Gary Webb,” returns to the subject of national security journalism in his new book, “Spooked: How the CIA Manipulates Media and Hoodwinks Hollywood.”

As Schou notes, the CIA has a long history of “spooking the news.” Schou picks up after the late 1970s, when “systematic media manipulation” was exposed and the CIA created an Office of Public Affairs, which purportedly was to handle the press in a more “transparent” manner. His book examines the varying methods the CIA has developed to influence public perceptions of the agency through “pressure, seduction, and deception” of reporters, filmmakers, and television writers and directors.

With his book also helping to explain why it seems like ALL of the mainstream media and ALMOST ALL of Hollywood hated President Trump and his 'America-first agenda', even the television show 'Homeland' had an episode describing exactly how one such 'tactic' used by the 'deep state' is used to demonize anyone at all, (including the United States President), any anyone who stands against them.

One of the methods that is a popular favorite of the CIA to use is “controversializing” an individual.

(ANP EMERGENCY FUNDRAISER: Due to unexpected medical and emergency repair bills, please consider donating to ANP to help keep us in this 'Info-war' for America at this most critical time in US history, during a time of systematic 'big tech' censorship and widespread Democrat corruption.)

Reporting that Bob Parry, who was then a reporter at the Associate Press and later Newsweek, had been forced out of the Associated Press for covering Iran-Contra and for digging up stories about the CIA’s involvement with drug traffickers, Shadow Proof reports that Parry would have meetings with people like Robert Kagan, who was a State Department official at the time who jokingly told him, you keep writing stories like this I’m going to have to “controversialize” you.

The dialogue excerpt below comes to us from this transcript for the episode titled 'Game On' of the show "Homeland", a show which painted the CIA as 'a mess' and featured a bi-polar CIA agent who had fallen in love with a US Marine who was held as a prisoner of war for years, only to be 'turned' by the 'terrorists' who were holding him captive.

You familiar with the term "Controversialize"?

No.

Well, that's what they're doing to you. They're turning you into the story.

They started by leaking your relationship with Congressman Brody. Next it was Saul Berenson's testimony in front of the Senate Select Committee, then they had you committed.

Pretty soon, it's not a story about a terrorist attack anymore or how the people meant to protect us screwed up. It's about you.

It's about sex between a bipolar CIA officer and her brainwashed boyfriend.

And that's almost exactly what 'the Democrat deep state' did to President Trump and his Patriotic supporters all across America! Turning him into a national pariah before the entire nation by the mainstream media lying about him, calling him a 'white supremacist' and worse, and using them to spread the outright lies that all of his supporters were 'deplorable' and even 'Russian propaganda', half the nation then and still believed the mainstream medias lies, being fed them their entire lives, and not bothering to research things themselves.

So with Hollywood and the 'entire mainstream media apparatus' owned and controlled by 'the deep state', and that incredible power crushing practically anyone and everyone it is yielded against as, despite its failure, it's still a mighty big 'stick'. And as the Shadow Proof story continued, while the 'deep state' tries to 'propagandize' stories to the American public, anyone who goes against their 'story line' is crushed.

Whereas the CIA, as I explained and as the book documents, used to be able to directly control stories and plant stories in the news media, now the government had to come up with another manner of doing this. So, it involved very specific targeting of specific stories to specific demographics in the country, and using relationships with different reporters and news agencies that were considered reliable to try to get those stories out.

Anybody who didn’t play by that script, anybody who was considered too independent, was then subjected to what was called “controversialization,” whereby their editors all of a sudden wouldn’t be running their stories anymore. This is exactly what happened to Bob Parry after that conversation with Kagan. His editors just refused to print what he was writing and made his job impossible. Ultimately, he quit the AP and ended up at Newsweek, but even there, it became even worse.

So with the American people 'en masse' being lied to and 'propagandized' for decades and decades with the msm completely controlled by very few corporations and 'the deep state', and the 'dumbed-down masses' having no idea they are even being lied to, those like President Trump who try to expose the lies the American people have long been fed are 'controversialized' to the point where the 'Trump derangement syndrome' inflicted Democrats have 'impeached him' twice yet he's still in office.

So as long as Democrats and 'the deep state' remain in control of 'the flow of information to the masses', the future will be very bleak though 'truth' remains the 'kryptonite' to the lies and disinformation. But with President Trump now almost out of office, and he running out of time to declassify absolutely pertinent information, we may never find out the 'truth' that has been hidden from 'the masses' for a very long time, with those coming in to power specializing in propaganda and secrecy.

No. I don’t know you. You could be a serial killer or a Nun.
I’m basing my opinion on your postings here, solely.
I still think you’re nice.

Not asking you prove anything.

Disrupting is when someone post something you disagree with? Ooook.

Not getting into a tit for tat posting thing. I like having a conversation with you because of your mannerisms. I think you “hold your own” for lack of a better term.

I have said some sincere nice things about many of the people there. I meant it too.

I have 3 German Shepherds, why? Because apparently one wasn’t enough. Anyway, sometimes when they tree a squirrel, the squirrel will jump from tree to tree in order to escape.
But the dogs often don’t catch it as they’re to busy barking and barking and running around the tree the squirrel ran up.

No matter how much these dogs trust me, no matter what I say they can’t hear because they’re barking frantically.
I keep telling them the squirrel is over there it’s over there now, but they still keep barking up the wrong tree.
The excitement, the “thrill of the hunt” drowns out the fact that the squirrel is no longer there. But they are sure the squirrel is up that tree, beyond doubt.

There was an interesting documentary about Q last night on a channel called “Vice”. I have satellite (formally Direct TV now AT&T) in case you or anyone want to look it up. They talk to the former owner of 8 Chan, and many other well known Q followers and posters. If you’re interested.....or not. But the real people involved are interviewed.

Peace to you. Thanks for your reply. Certainly gave me something to think about.

Q reminds me of another Q from 20-25 years ago. A couple of friends of mine got caught up in this online “gifting”club and from there to a group of people who believed an anonymous donor called Q was going to give millions of dollars to people belonging to this Q group. They invited me- I went to some secret conference calls and a secret online chat room. I said no thanks- this is nuts, likely illegal and creepy. There was no talking to them- true believers all. It scared me. They were otherwise sensible, normal, employed and apparently sane. The rules changed, timing of the money “drop” changed. Breathlessly waiting for new and more absurd updates. Big gov involved- gold mines. No matter what- they believed. It went on for years. Then 9/11 happened and I stopped caring about Q. Lots of similarities with this- different hook.

What's the point of my reading your posts when you distort what I said and again pretend that the information I posted which you cannot refute does not exist.

Not getting into a tit for tat posting thing. I like having a conversation with you because of your mannerisms. I think you “hold your own” for lack of a better term.

I do not like having a conversation with you because you simply ignore valid information I post and instead offer innuendo and distortions. You do this because you cannot "hold your own" for lack of a better term.

I'll skip the rest of your post wherein you shimmy, slide, and fawn while implying I and others are unthinking dogs excited by the chase to the point they can't hear their "master" (i.e., you) giving them the answers they seek.

I’m not ignoring anything.
Jim Rob reminded us of the rules.......he said no tit for tat.

I would reply to every comma and period in your post but I feel like I’m walking on egg shells with many Q people.

Also, most of the original post wasn’t entirely directed towards you.
I fully aware of many eyes reading, and post accordingly sometimes.

Now that letter writing was really going to keep Trump in office. Please stop savaging each other. The election was stolen and it was the fault of RATs and their global RATS. Reality at this point is ugly and voting them out is also a farce. Face it, nothing is being done with this abomination because we are paralyzed to act because acting means a whole lot of pain and sacrifice.

As far as division.......I could right now go on the Q Thread and say “Good morning and have a blessed day.” And I would be attacked by a mob.......people will pop out of nowhere just to get a jab or hit on me.

*raises hand*

p.s. Ransomnote just took you to school.

Based on our interaction here and  here, you have no reason to engage me in discussion.

Combine Qidiots with Antifa to light the fuse and you have the Capitol hill riots where Trump lost the message and it played right into the deep state’s hands.

Looks like you're still buying into the derp state's propaganda. And you're bragging about it.

Also, why is your screen name 'For Q' of you're so against Q?

They attacked with venom of a rattlesnake if you tried to tell them they were wrong.

Kinda like the shleprocks are attacking 'Qtards' all over this thread?

Like that?

Did Q tell you anything you did not already know, that wasn’t public in the first place?

Yes. A lot, actually.

Next, you'll ask me what.

To that I say, you don't deserve to know. Stay asleep, matrix boy.

That was already well known.

Not it wasn't. Liar.

There are still plenty of people even here on FR that mock those assertions. Most definitely in the derp media.

And yet you and the other shleps want us to believe that the derps themselves made those claims (through Q) and exposed themselves.

You people have a logic problem.

Or, you are paralyzed to act because of cowardice.

Gloom, despair, and fear are contagious, and you are carriers, along with the majority on this thread.

You should be proud of yourselves.
