Also, what the fuck has happened to NPR? I was out running errands last week and left my music at home, and was listening to NPR, and was just sickened. Since when did (BP) British Petroleum start sponsoring the ‘Earth and Sky’ segments?
National Propaganda Radio’s weekend programs are rich with misdirection and disinfo. Even ‘This American Life’ uses subliminal themes, natch.
Today, three days after the 39th anniversary of the FBI murder of Martin Luther King on 4/4/68, we were treated to a Saturday program about the conspiracy theories around the murder of President Lincoln on April 14, 1865.
The woman host introducing the segment began deriding conspiracy theories with the “everyone LOVES a conspiracy theory no matter how disproven or improbable” theme.
Then she went on and on with the theme “who can ever keep a secret?”
Then she said that since ‘someone always talks’ that we KNOW about the real conspiracies, y’see.
After this misdirecting introduction the show proceded to an audio re-enactment of Booth sneaking up on Lincoln and shooting him complete with a play sounding like a sit-com with roaring crowd in the background.
Nothing on JFK, MLK, or RFK. Of course.
Listen to NPR on weekends and you will hear ‘master craftsmen’ working out on the PBS demographic. lol.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY: CIA Mockingbird Propaganda for the Culturati (with Revealing Asides on 9/11, NPR and Howard Ahmanson, Jr.)
Speaking of conspiracy theorist’s, many say the only difference between the conspiracy theorist and everyone else is that the former doubts the Television while the latter defends it. While I suspect that does have much weight it is not all of the conundrum. Though having said that, TV is the most potent form of mind control deployed by the US government and its allies.
Our species relies on vision for survival cues and any imagery has special potency in the subconscious because of this evolutionary brain history.
By 1956 two-thirds of American homes had a TV set, a technology developed in the 1930s but put on hold for WWII. Until then, radio and newpapers were the principle propaganda venues.
The earliest years of TV had lots of high-brow programming, theater and science, to validate the new technology as ‘educational’ and get it into American minds.
Once the TV habit had been established the programming, like a drug, was ‘cut’ with social-engineering projects, role-modeling, and piffle to keep’em watching.
During the Vietnam War it was determined that some people might give up TV and thus go off their government ‘meds’ so the 1967-74 director of the Council on Foreign Relations, Bill Moyers, was instrumental in developing a new high-brow channel called PBS for retaining these addicts-I mean-viewers. Moyers had helped develop overseas State Department propaganda projects, too, in the model of Voice of America.
The opportunity to embed PBS in the American mind was the Watergate hearings on crimes in the Nixon White House, a public show started by military intelligence groups who wanted Nixon out but not shot in the head like JFK.
PBS and Watergate were used to resuscitate the myth of a ‘system that works.’
That myth is sagging due to the availability of suppressed history on the internet and Bill Moyers is back out trying to capture the attention of the demographic that can read this internet board.
This is why Moyers was the director of the Council on Foreign Relations, a group of elites who use the media to maintain social myths in their interest.
Moyers is once again getting a grip on ‘Amy Goodman progressives’ who otherwise would ditch TV altogether and Pacifica Radio is helping him with his new viewer-retention projects on PBS playing up his ‘liberal creds.’ He has been the keynote speaker two years in a row at media reform conferences.
How ironic. No, pathetic. Because people don’t know the history of Moyers’ background or how the use of media as a government social control mechanism has destroyed not just this country but the planet.
Perhaps this terrible background is why so many Americans who should know better love Moyers’ vague military chaplain urgings to ‘revive the American Dream’ in a country long ago taken over by the military and their gangster assets.
In America, TV is the root of all evil. Anyone kept on TV is there because they help the controllers, not the controlled.
Don’t get me wrong here, I like Moyers and Amy Goodman, however, I remain skeptical of all of them. There are merely a different form of politician.

Truth is, there are no people who aren’t “Conspiracy Theorists.”
In other words, the individuals who use the term “Conspiracy Theorists” do believe in conspiracies.
They’re simply selective about the Conspiracy Theories they promote.
Take your pick: Was 9/11 just another False Flag? Or was it 19 Islamic hijackers masterminded by multiple Evildoers, with “sleeper cells” in every li’l community in the U.S.?
Take your pick: Do energy corporations pay scientists to cast doubt on Climate Change? Or is Climate Change “the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind”? (Republican Senator James Inhofe).
Take your pick: Are Neocons correct that “the Liberal Media is conspiring to report only bad news from Iraq because they hate Bush and want to undermine the troops”? Or are the mainstream media owned by only 5 corporations who each have ties to the defense industry?
Paul Krugman writes about this:
The crazy conspiracy theories of the right are supported by important people: powerful politicians, television personalities with large audiences. And we can safely predict that these people will never concede that they were wrong. When the Iraq venture comes to a bad end, they won’t blame those who led us into the quagmire; they’ll claim that it was all the fault of the liberal media, which stabbed our troops in the back.
Those who claim to be “non-believers” in conspiracies are actually few.
Conspiracies are historic and proven and many. Skepticism is warranted.
Including skepticism when discussing conspiracy itself.

Someone always talks
The Last Confessions of E. Howard Hunt- via Rolling Stone-
E. Howard also gave Saint two sheets of paper that contained a fuller narrative. It starts out with LBJ again, connecting him to Cord Meyer, then goes on: “Cord Meyer discusses a plot with [David Atlee] Phillips who brings in Wm. Harvey and Antonio Veciana. He meets with Oswald in Mexico City. . . . Then Veciana meets w/ Frank Sturgis in Miami and enlists David Morales in anticipation of killing JFK there. But LBJ changes itinerary to Dallas, citing personal reasons.”
David Atlee Phillips, the CIA’s Cuban operations chief in Miami at the time of JFK’s death, knew E. Howard from the Guatemala-coup days. Veciana is a member of the Cuban exile community. Sturgis, like Saint’s father, is supposed to have been one of the three tramps photographed in Dealey Plaza. Sturgis was also one of the Watergate plotters, and he is a man whom E. Howard, under oath, has repeatedly sworn to have not met until Watergate, so to Saint the mention of his name was big news.
In the next few paragraphs, E. Howard goes on to describe the extent of his own involvement. It revolves around a meeting he claims he attended, in 1963, with Morales and Sturgis. It takes place in a Miami hotel room. Here’s what happens:
Morales leaves the room, at which point Sturgis makes reference to a “Big Event” and asks E. Howard, “Are you with us?”
E. Howard asks Sturgis what he’s talking about.
Sturgis says, “Killing JFK.”
E. Howard, “incredulous,” says to Sturgis, “You seem to have everything you need. Why do you need me?” In the handwritten narrative, Sturgis’ response is unclear, though what E. Howard says to Sturgis next isn’t: He says he won’t “get involved in anything involving Bill Harvey, who is an alcoholic psycho.”
After that, the meeting ends. E. Howard goes back to his “normal” life and “like the rest of the country . . . is stunned by JFK’s death and realizes how lucky he is not to have had a direct role.”
After reading what his father had written, St. John was stunned too. His father had not only implicated LBJ, he’d also, with a few swift marks of a pen, put the lie to almost everything he’d sworn to, under oath, about his knowledge of the assassination. Saint had a million more questions. But his father was exhausted and needed to sleep, and then Saint had to leave town without finishing their talk, though a few weeks later he did receive in the mail a tape recording from his dad. E. Howard’s voice on the cassette is weak and grasping, and he sometimes wanders down unrelated pathways. But he essentially remakes the same points he made in his handwritten narrative.
The French assassin that Hunt names as the shooter on the “grassy knoll” is Lucien Sarti, whose story was included in The Men Who Killed Kennedy. Who knows if it was Sarti (who was shot in Mexico City in 1972) … he was dead by the time anyone named him.
However, Hunt did, for the first time ever, acknowledge a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. Not to say that he didn’t lie about who, but this was the first time he did admit it. RFK thought there was a conspiracy at the time, LBJ thought there was a conspiracy (and others think he was in on it) — it’s not simply “conspiracy nuts” who think that JFK was assassinated by ppl who were sponsored by the U.S. govt.
There is SO much evidence that demonstrates a cover up after the fact and shots from the front of Kennedy’s car. The msm sucks up to that power. As Jim McNeil said…so many conspiracies have been revealed since then that someone would have to be a fool NOT to consider a conspiracy. McNeil isn’t exactly “beyond the fringe” — and he was there that day, and saw police, etc. running toward the “grassy knoll” responding to the gunshot that blew Kennedy’s head back and to the left and blew out the back of his skull.
I wonder how many Americans think that the Kennedy assassination was the beginning of the mess that the U.S. govt. is now? I know I do.
