Scoop Doco: Jihad Battle Mounts Against West's Propaganda

- The United States dominion over 'psy-ops' and propaganda is no longer unchallenged. Islamic insurgents throughout the Muslim world are producing digital video clips with ever-increasing sophistication. The products of this technological revolution carry a double-edged message of 'glory' for youthful 'martyrs' and vengeance against the West. Scoop has obtained video footage - delivered via underground networks and otherwise - originating from Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Turkistan, Algeria and Palestine. The propaganda's message suggests the Islamic fight against U.S. imperialism and that of the West is spreading - becoming more sophisticated. See... Psy-Ops Countered By Islamic Digital Propaganda [1] ALSO: Scoop Audio: Scoop's Selwyn Manning and 95bFM's Simon Pound discuss: [2] the Scoop doco " Psy-Ops - The War On Your Opinions" and how NZ's intel agencies failed regarding Timor Leste.

Tax: Academic Says Media Making Rather Than Reporting News

[1] Last week senior lecturer in communications at Auckland's Unitec, Peter Thompson, wrote an opinion piece on the bust-up between Dr Cullen and the media where he rejected Dr Cullen's implication that tax break hungry journos were picking on Dr Cullen but nevertheless found the media to have been biased. This morning Mr Thompson explained to RDU's breakfast host that in his opinion the media had gone beyond reporting the views of the opposition and had in fact become the opposition regarding tax .

Polygamy: The Polygamist Mormon's Private – yet Govt. Funded - Airport

- The first shock is the realization that an airport costing Americans $3 million exists in the polygamist-owned Arizona wastelands of Colorado City. It sits "Spielberg-like" north of the Grand Canyon, east of the Colorado River and serves a handful of planes. How and why it materialized is the second shock. But most disturbing is what a town of outlaw cultists might be using an isolated airstrip for under the radar. See... The AZ Polygamy Town Airport Built With Fed $$$Mns [1]

American Coup: - Robert F. Kennedy Junior On Election Theft 2004

- Like many Americans, I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for George Bush - and the next day, lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded. Republicans derided anyone who expressed doubts about Bush's victory as nut cases in "tinfoil hats," while the national media, with few exceptions, did little to question the validity of the election. The Washington Post immediately dismissed allegations of fraud as "conspiracy theories," and The New York Times declared that "there is no evidence of vote theft or errors on a large scale." See...

- This is the most difficult article that I have ever had to write, but I have to write it anyway, unfortunately.

Since my son, Casey, was killed in Iraq because of lies and to actually make that country safe for our corporate interests, I have been saying the only way we can support our troops at this point is to get them the hell out of this illegal and immoral war.
