-Caveat Lector- This is so obviously a manufactured "crisis," it's becoming downright comical. I can't watch CNN or MS-NBC (NBC) news --bigger-money-buttkissing billionaires Ted Turner's and Bill Gates' media mind-control orgs, respectively-- anymore without laughing aloud at the clumsy propaganda ploys, rehashing the grossest cliches of the WWII period. For example, first the media trumpets that the Serbs are separating all the able-bodied Kosovar men from the women. "Where are all the MEN within this flood of refugees?" the talking heads wink, ominously. There's talk of some kind of concentration camp or slave labor camp for Kosovars in Serb-controlled Yugoslavia. Then, when the cameras finally focus on the refugees thronging into Macedonia, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that there are as many able-bodied men as women represented in those crowds ... so suddenly, no more talk of "missing men" or "detention camps." The spin shifts gears -- and next, the supposedly heart-wrenching refrain is that the Serbs have gathered all the choicest Kosovar women into camps that function as brothels for the Serb monsters, where any female from age five to 95 is brutally gang-raped until she's a bloody pulp. Again, CNN and MS-NBC are flashing maps on the screen indicating the geographical location of these alleged mass-rape camps, just as with male "concentration camps." We note, though, there somehow manages to be an equal number of men and women trudging across the border from Kosovo ... Maybe it's just temp work for some gals ... Logically, the NEXT charge should be that those "evil" Serbs [that heavily weighted, subjective value-judgment word being used incessantly by our messengers of "facts"] are committing "atrocities" involving innocent children --like the horror stories concocted by the Madison Avenue boys to demonize the Iraqis in Kuwait-- such as tearing babies from their mothers' breasts and herding them en masse into Stalinist "thought-reform" camps to be raised identity-less by The State, all toward the end of "ethnic cleansing" ... Those infants who aren't impaled on the bayonets of laughing baby-raping Serbian maniacs, that is. Sorry, I can't help but laugh. This is World War ONE propaganda quoted almost word for word, strictly by the book, as if we were STILL that stupid. For the first four days of the war, the military "experts" and diplomatic talking heads on CNN and MS-NBC kept making the same MISTAKE on the air -- a mistake that was too embarrassingly telling to CORRECT on the air, apparently, because in all 3 instances where I caught it, no one else seemed to notice; the heated rhetoric just went on, no loss of momentum. The mistake? When spokesmen MEANT to say "Milosevic," they'd forget themselves and say "SADDAM" instead ... Old reflexes die hard. But then, any "Hitler" will do for the sheeple -- it's the SYMBOL here, not the reality, that matters .. (On second thought, though, maybe it WASN'T accidental mis-speaking ... In that case, it'd be the verbal equivalent of a "subliminal," used in hypnotic programming. ) Comical too is the media's current "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" ploy, a classic double-bind : If Milosevic (A) drives Albanians out of Kosovo, it's cause for NATO action-- and now, if he (B) PREVENTS them from leaving-- it's cause for NATO action. If we buy the latter as well, then NATO is HELPING the Serbs with "ethnic cleansing." NOW, I think, would be a GREAT time to review all our old "Propaganda 101" texts ...
