“The Propaganda Film You Probably Don’t Know You’re Watching”

by Scott Creighton

As most of you know by now, I am adamantly opposed to the wholesale privatization of the public school system and have been writing about this neoliberal project with it’s roots in the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship for quite some time. Years in fact. To me the most disgusting aspect of the neoliberal agenda which is strongly supported by the Vichy politicians on the left and the right (Arnie Duncan? Barack Obama? Rahm Emanuel? Oprah? Saving public school systems? Wake the fuck up!) is the selling off of our kids future via the privatization of public education. We cannot allow it to continue and that’s my take on it.

Well, a reader here, Curious Canadian sent me a link to a video just now and I had to put it up. Thanks CC! Very funny stuff and right on target. It’s made by Lee Camp. Here’s his website.

Senate Fusion Center Report Reveals Darker Nature of Counter Terrorism Industry in America

by Scott Creighton

“The number of things that scare me about this report are almost too many to write into this (form),”… “(they) raised concerns the documents potentially endangered the civil liberties or legal privacy protections of the U.S. persons they mentioned.”… “these reports should not have been drafted at all.”  NBC News

A new report out by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations casts serious doubt as to whether there are any “terrorist” inclined groups or individuals operating within the United States and furthermore puts forward the very serious question “why are we wasting billions of dollars every year in the homeland surveillance industry”?

With all the manpower, money and resources at their disposal, the Department of Homeland Security still has to team up with the FBI and the corrupt NYPD “intelligence” office to CREATE terror plots for them to foil as justification for next year’s paychecks.

Fact is, they can’t find organic terrorist plots to foil in this country because there are none and there is a very good reason for that: because the ONLY people in this country inclined to attack and kill innocent civilians to see their political agenda achieved aren’t TARGETING the government… they’re WORKING for the government or Wall Street or both since they’re now pretty much the same thing.

Trouble is, the “anti-terrorism” industry in this country was never really designed to combat the non-existent threat of terrorism in America and thus they actually are doing exactly what they were designed to do. They just can’t tell you what that is. But I can…

31 Killed in Well Orchestrated Series of Terrorist Attacks in Aleppo

by Scott Creighton

bringing democracy to Syria one corpse at a time

Another series of well coordinated terrorist attacks have taken place in Syria, this time it involved 2 car bombs being detonated in Saadallah al-Jabri Square in the northern city of Aleppo followed by another car bomb blast targeting Tajmil Masharqa and then a mortar attack targeting the Saadallah al-Jabri Square launched by the so-called “Free Syrian Army” in an apparent effort to discourage first responders from helping the injured an people trapped in the rubble.This “double tap” trick is something we use on a regular basis when we attack a civilian target with drone strikes.

At least 31 people have been killed with another 90 wounded. The attacks targeted an Syrian army officer’s club.

Go here to see several pictures of the destruction.

The following is a partial description of some of the work done by special forces under the rubric of what we call “unconventional warfare”. Most of the world would call it something else…

“A broad spectrum of military and paramilitary operations, normally of long duration, predominantly conducted through, with, or by indigenous or surrogate forces who are organized, trained, equipped, supported, and directed in varying degrees by an external source. It includes, but is not limited to, guerrilla warfare, subversion, sabotage, intelligence activities, and unconventional assisted recovery”

“The U.S. defines sabotage as “an act or acts with intent to injure, interfere with, or obstruct the national defense of a country by willfully injuring or destroying, or attempting to injure or destroy, any national defense or war materiel, premises, or utilities, to include human and natural resources.”

“Subversion is formally defined as “action designed to undermine the military, economic, psychological, or political strength or morale of a regime.”  Wikipedia page on unconventional warfare
