These Age-Old Tactics Were Used To Complete The Takedown Of America [Q was a deep state misinformation campaign]

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

You’re such a nice person......I hate to comment but I did some looking around on the massive amounts of the Q Thread a few weeks ago.

Advocating to attend rallies and make phone calls or work on a campaign like the phone banks is one thing........actually doing it is another.

When people go to rallies or do something for Trump, they post about it. They put up pictures, they brag (which is cool)..........

I have Not been able to find any of the regular Q people ever saying they peeled themselves from the keyboard and did anything other than try to look for clues for something in a Q drop or picture.

Now that’s not to say they never did.......I’m just saying you claim all kinds of activity done by Q people here, yet no one claims they did anything. I find that odd.

Before I deleted my Facebook, I had pics of everything,every place I went or did for Trump’s re-election. Now donations could have been made by your Q Crew, but I found nothing regarding that. They make sure people on FreeRepublic know when they donate to FreeRepublic however.

My brother and I are now on a Leftist “Hit List” (whatever that means) because of our donations to Trump and the RNC.

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.

I don’t really care about the historic worry that they fear new people commenting because they’ve been so abused.......we are all adults here and the unjust childish attacks makes me wonder how confidant they and you are about your beliefs.

Arlen Spector is dead.
Ted Koppel???? What exactly does any of that have to do with right now today and the reality we are facing?
Who cares if the CIA placed plants in the media decades ago?

How about researching Antifa or BLM’s next move? I know it’s not as glamorous and CIA or Balck Hats White Hats but a heads up would be great.

Again, you are probably one of the nicest person here and on the Q Thread. You’re kind, polite and I believe you want to do good things.

But obsessing about a Secret Service agent that happened to be Asian or trying to prove the Oval Office is really a fake and it’s a studio isn’t helping our present situation, in my opinion.

You’re such a nice person......I hate to comment but I did some looking around on the massive amounts of the Q Thread a few weeks ago.

Since you don't know me, saying I'm "such a nice person" is just part of your manipulation to set up a contrast should I not reply in the same fake manner you use; or to tie my hands in responding to you as the heckler you've been on our threads.

You don't "hate to comment"; if you did you would stop long before you invested so much time in disrupting our threads.

Advocating to attend rallies and make phone calls or work on a campaign like the phone banks is one thing........actually doing it is another.

You don't WANT to find them. Since you've made so many posts to disrupt our threads, I don't find your objectivity 'act' convincing.

Not enough pictures for you? Since people like you have been hostile toward us for years, you won't find us posting many selfies on our threads. But there's plenty there. Just read through 330 threads - it's all there.

Say, you're not trying to give me busywork, are you? You think maybe I should go through the content of 330 threads for you because I care so much what you think and you "hate to comment"?

Now that’s not to say they never did.......I’m just saying you claim all kinds of activity done by Q people here, yet no one claims they did anything. I find that odd.'

I find that false. You still have no legitimate rebuttal so you're settling for flat denial in an attempt to shift the work of "proof" to me.

I refuted the baselesss assertion that we are too passive by specifying actions we under take and you respond by making another baseless assertion (i.e. that there's 'nothing there'). You can see how this is a waste of my time, right?

You're not good at finding things and it seems you like a lot of attention for what you do, when in fact it's the natural duty for patriots to support what is good and right.

You're so inaccurate in your 'observations', it's kind of hard to keep reading your post.

My brother and I are now on a Leftist “Hit List” (whatever that means) because of our donations to Trump and the RNC.

And? How would you possibly check Trump donations of individuals on our threads? They are anonymous. Given that we think far more is at stake and in play than those who reject our thread content, and that they never needed to prove themselves to others on FR, I'd say you're not capable of reasoning your way through your donation inuendo angle.

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.

After harrassing them all that time, you can't understand they don't welcome you? Oh, were you relying on readers not knowing how you comported yourself on our threads for your old, "Jimmy started it!" trope. Your whole post is deception and distortion.

I don't care if you "really care"; why should I? It's not that they fear new people commenting. It's that they usually correctly identify a troll before the troll drops the fake nice or "just curious" pose and just exposes themselves. We're tired of people coming to our threads to expose themselves.

Arlen Spector is dead.
Ted Koppel???? What exactly does any of that have to do with right now today and the reality we are facing?
Who cares if the CIA placed plants in the media decades ago?

We never just believed what we were told. Since the MSM has created a false history for Americans, we had to go back and read documentation for ourselves. Doing so layed the groundword to detect and expect the extremes of MSM deception they would use against our President.

When people jeer and heckle, it doesn't persuade me that they know what's going on, especially when they don't understand the history involved.

It's ironic that you mistakenly believe the history of the US media's involvement with the Deep State has no bearing on the present. It's what lead me to look carefully at the pictures below and wonder if things aren't happening the way the MSM says they are.

Note the long morning shadows (looks like around 8 or 9 am) and Kamala Harris looking almost straight into the morning sun while being sworn in.

How about researching Antifa or BLM’s next move? I know it’s not as glamorous and CIA or Balck Hats White Hats but a heads up would be great.

Why don't I figure out what you should study next and tell you?

If I posted a "heads up" on FR about Antifa/BLM, people like you would show up and heckle,, just like they do now. Then, you'd demand to know why I wasn't studying the MSM instead, while saying, "..a heads up would be great."

I don't think studying the CIA/Black Hats/BLM/ANTIFA on my free time for 3+ is "glamorous".

Again, you are probably one of the nicest person here and on the Q Thread. You’re kind, polite and I believe you want to do good things.

I didn't know if you were making fawning comments at the start of your post to a) prevent me from responding negatively (muzzled by social comparison) or b) to conceal your intentions from readers by making distorted negative comments to me while smiling and fawning. I'm goin' with "both".

But obsessing about a Secret Service agent that happened to be Asian or trying to prove the Oval Office is really a fake and it’s a studio isn’t helping our present situation, in my opinion.

I haven't been obsessing about SS agent etc. You know that.

I could post a pic of the Oval Office that would give many pause; sometimes long shots pay off.

Why don't you give me links to 330 threads you posted on FR for which you accept personal responsibility for every post? That's your game, right? I'm responsible for everything others post? I need at least 3 years of daily posting from you.

You still don't know what's going on. Maybe if you studied the history behind it...nah, that wouldn't be "glamorous" enough for you. It's MUCH more productive for you to spend heckling me or our threads.

By posting your negative insinuation about me and the dedicated patriots with whom I post, You're already doing all you can to "help our present situation" aren't you?
