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.
It's time to move on...it's ok. The CIA is good at what they do. You got beat by them. I failed. I wasn't able to convince you that the CIA was playing you. I have good friends that fell for it too. At least now learn from it. We need you to be smarter next time.
When something like AG Barr refused to prosecute Comey and McCabe on a crime and the excuse given is...he's going after bigger fish. You have to say that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. And challenge your own beliefs. Everyone knows you prosecute on small crimes and squeeze. That's when I knew Barr was no good--why didn't the Q Trust the plan believers realize it then?
And why do they still believe Q? Heck some people still believed Trump was still going to do something amazing and still be President today!
👍
Trump, Pompeo, Flynn, etc. were saying the same things until yesterday. “We caught them all”, the best is yet to come, etc. It’s not a deep state fake if the President confirms it.
Stefan Stanford is a punk. He doesn’t know squat. He’s trying to grab the limelight like all attention seekers.
Flush him!
Trust the plan! Trump is merely retreating to the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin to regroup! The storm will break at midnight and he’ll drive the enemy into the sea!
SMDH.
What did you do which was effective in preventing the Biden election theft?
TRUMP won and it's not over, even though you gave up a few years ago.
Those following Q content were active in productive ways than you were and that seems to have helped Trump win by a landslide.
You can serve Biden if you want, but patriots will push forward to expose the steal instead.
Our efforts (donations, campaign support, canvassing, prayer) contributed to the effort to support the Trump administration and, given he won in an overwhelming landlside, served out country well.
The threads posting on the forum just to trash ours, those FReepers so focused on trashing us, are the definition of "pointless."
Our threads, which they hate so much, had call-in campaigns (Reps, Senators, Governors, party efforts); letter writing campaigns; we posts to help each other learn Social Media, screen capture, gif, HTML and Meme software to support Trump's objectives by relaying his successes and exposing the Deep State actors.
We volunteered to observe ballot counting, canvased neighborhoods, donated to Trump campaign and local elections, participated and advocated for local republican campaign events. We coordinated transportation to rallies; attended rallies and gave after-rally reports,. We arranged to protest in-person locally, advertised rallies on thread, posted speech/platform links so we could all watch.
We posted words of support for each other when times were toughest; researched and shared content; exhorted one another to get loud and be heard; set a daily time to pray for our country etc., among other activities.
We researched content I haven't seen discussed elsewhere (e.g., a report of Arlen Spector's meeting with Ted Koppel et. al. when the CIA was formally inserting agents into positions of journalism, missionaries etc.) Dry stuff but I and others read it, along with countless policy documents on the FBI vault, some of which showed that Obama's administration changed personnel rules to allow staff in the CIA to work simultaneously for other agencies (the CIA could spy domestically under a FBI banner).
We read many dry policy documents looking for clues and were criticized roundly for "wasting time" on such content.
I've often been told (shrieked at) that our efforts were a waste and that "everybody already knew that" but checking our critics FR profiles always revealed they never discussed it, posted about it - apparently they had all this information and never shared it with anyone else and then when we posted it, rather than support us by contributing their own expertise, they screamed we should stop.
One fellow lectured us about how we were wasting time and cited a book which held all the answers. I read the summary closing of that book and the "big reveal" was that the author was making the point that there's nothing we can do, we just have to let the whole system collapse. That FReeper had cited that book over and over, on many threads, and yet the book actually said "Give Up!" and let the nation collapse.
Q advocated speaking up for journalists being silenced when the netoworks got tough. We called, contacted, complained to networks asking why they were taken off their shows.
We stanchly resist demoralization because we know it's our patriotic duty to support morale - our enemies would love it if we all adopted the "DOOM!" attitude often posted on the forum.
I read and posted many DOJ documents to the point I realized that the billions (with a 'b') of fraud and arrests/prosecutions were carrying out President Trump's plans with spectacular success while "back home" on the forum our critics were screaming DOOM! and "Nothing's happening!" If the MSM WON'T report on it, our critics don't know it's happening; yet, they still want me to stop telling people about it.
During that time, our critics invested their energies in...criticizing us and bitterly (and passively) complaining about everything. Never saw them do much of anything except tell us to stop.
Is there anything more passive and pointless than insisting there's no hope and that others stop trying?
Some insisted we should to get out the vote INSTEAD of sharing information to inform the public, as if we are incapable of doing BOTH. Our critics aren't passive about trying to get us to stop sharing information or advocating public participation.
Had our critics organized and actively supported real efforts to help the Trump campaign or show support for the presidency, we would have participated in their efforts, in addition to our real efforts. I never saw our critics do much of anything; they were far too passive and had given up, and angrily demanded that we give up with them.
When I posted alerts with phone numbers of house/senate/governors our critics flooded my forum threads with bitter complaints that it's all useless and won't do any good, waste of time, peppered with posts saying I'm crazy and should not be allowed to post on the forum.
If I post from DOJ - more screams and ridicule of the Trump administration, during a time when President Trump was already under attack. I posted about a pedophile ring being arrested and "ruined" the day for many of our critics; they arrived insisting that we're doomed and nothing will ever change.
I posted threads on the forum advocating attendance at the 2A rally in Virginia, phone campaigns etc. Again I was ridiculed and taunted - they were unable to set aside their personal dislike, even to support our patriotic cause.
What I saw were our critics spending their energy attacking us instead of supporting President Trump, in addition the time they spent repeatedly posting that nothing will help, there's no hope etc.
We didn't create this division on FR; our critics worked to portray us as damaging. They are still at it - dividing patriots when we need to pull together. Together we are strong.
If anyone reading this is interested, we pray for our country every day starting at 3:15 pm EST. If we pray for at least a minute, we're all praying together at 3:16, as a reminder of John 3:16.
It's always darkest before the dawn. Never concede to evil.
So if it was, now sure how it really brought down america? I for one could not (age and ill hubby) could not take my pitchfork and accomplish anything.
One reason they believed was the impression they had that Trump himself was encouraging it.
And it bit him in the derrière
I never believed Q. All I saw was what wasn’t happening that should have been happening.
Nevertheless, I don’t know how much we could have done to change things if Q hadn’t snookered people.
Q is false. Trust “the plan” at your own peril. The rest of us need to stay on the firm ground of Realsville.
“Q was a deep state misinformation campaign to keep Trump supporters complacent and not to do anything.”
True, but mostly it was a grift. The grifters pushed the QAnon grift on social media: almost exclusively it only existed on Twatter and Theftbook.
But that reached a lot of low-information Boomers who realized they didn’t like some bad things and believed this fraud would address it.
It was stupid and well, you can’t stop stupid.
The day's still relatively young. Plenty of time for a storm AND a Kraken.
Hmm; Qanon mentioned only once in this screed.
.
Shouldn’t you be thanking the imaginary letter god somewhere for installing Xiden?
Thanks for the great job turning America over to its enemies. Thanks for the superb job of getting President Trump into a second sham impeachment for nothing.
ThankQ and eff off.
How much crack did you smoke before you posted? Those of us that have been around for a while knew it was fake, and we’ve been doing letter writing, campaigning, donating and volunteering since long before the Q fantasy came about. Face it: it was a hoax. Nothing more.
The swamp muddying the waters CAN NOT change the fact that the REAL INSURRECTION occurred on November 4, 2020 at 0300 and the treasonous regime occupying the White Hut conspired with a FOREIGN POWER who committed and Act of War! This election was UNCONSTITUTIONAL and over half of this country will NOT comply.
