Psychological Operations/Warfare In Beheading?

“The clue to this, apart from the obvious ones, is that "Philadelphia businessman" Nick Berg is said to have been a "civilian contractor". Most of the Israeli assistance to the Coalition Forces in Iraq is in the form of civilian contractors -- i.e. hired mercenaries, supplied to operate in the fields of prisoner of war interrogation (Abu Ghraib!), Intelligence, or contract killings.
It is remarkable, is it not, that Berg was captured on April 9, over a month ago and yet not a word of his capture was breathed in the US media about it until now, when he has met his savage end. Nor do I recall any reports on the discovery of his body on Saturday. So: remember -- you read it first here. If he was a naive and luckless Philadelphia businessman, trapped and mangled by the Moloch that his bellicose regime have created in Iraq, then truly our hearts go out to his family; if he was however a hired mercenary engaged on some covert plain clothes operation, and captured by his enemies and dealt with as a spy, this must mitigate our feelings of compassion.” David Irving Liberty Forum 05-12-04

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS: (NATO) Planned psychological activities in peace and war directed to enemy, friendly, and neutral audiences in order to influence attitudes and behavior affecting the achievement of political and military objectives. They include strategic psychological activities, consolidation psychological operations and battlefield psychological activities.

Maybe it’s my cynical nature when it comes to the games the ruling elites play and the diabolical techniques they use to manipulate our minds; but the news a “civilian contractor”from West Chester Pennsylvania named Nick Berg was murdered by “Islamic terrorists” linked to Al Qaeda being plastered over the Internet and mainstream media seems mighty fishy. As tragic as any murder is, this one is turning into a PR bonanza for Bush and Co. Just when the Bush administration was literally on the ropes, wobbling and staggering from self inflicted blows, finding themselves in the indefensible position having to admit they’ve known about prisoner abuses in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay for months, just when there were bipartisan calls for Rumsfeld’s ouster, just when the AmeriKKKan public was being roused from its media induced stupor by reports and pictures documenting wide spread human rights violations following on the heels of photos of hundreds of flag draped caskets; this happens? Talk about luck, or is it? Hmmm?
The ruling elites are struggling to control the AmeriKKKan people’s minds. Even before the 2000 election when very few AmeriKKKans took Bush seriously and even a compromised press portrayed him as the class dunce, a light weight in the areas of the economy and foreign affairs; the hidden hands were setting the stage for their agenda. Once Bush was selected by the US Supreme Court most people assumed Bush’s father and Dick Cheney would be the ones really running things. Then came 9-11, Bush’s approval rating shot through the roof. 9-11 and its concomitant media blitz, turned the village idiot and college dope fiend who still can’t account for his whereabouts when he was supposed to be serving in the Texas Air National Guard into AmeriKKKa’s Commander in Chief!!? Talk about mind boggling. Serves us right for acquiescing to the okey-doke. Bush, his fascist cabal and their corporate media partners stepped up their pys-ops campaign to dupe the masses in believing Arab religious fanatics living in caves in Afghanistan plotted and executed 9-11. If anyone dared question the “official story” they were hooted down, tarred and feathered with the notion they were soft on security or supported terrorists. As the War on Terrorism escalated and became the focal point of Bush agenda he became more emboldened. Bush invaded Iraq under false presences. Saddam Hussein was deposed but then the wheels fell off of Bush’s Iraqi imperialism wagon, the Iraqi people actually demanded the AmeriKKKans exit stage left ASAP! The resistence to AmeriKKKan occupation has stretched US military forces thin necessitating the use of “independent contractors” better known as mercenaries, or contract killers. These mercenaries use brutal and ruthless techniques to accomplish their goal: finding and eliminating the resistence leaders. The US media has made much of the four contractors who were murdered whose bodies were mutilated and hung from a bridge outside Fallujah but said nothing about what these contractors were being paid to do!? Many have speculated they were mercenaries doing the really dirty work trying to ferret out and kill members of the resistence. There are reports they were being paid as much as $1,000 a day.
Then CBS 60 Minutes did a piece on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners in just one Iraqi prison and white AmeriKKKa feigned shock. The pictures jolted them out of their stupor of denial. Their carefully crafted self image as “good guys” began to unravel. They were forced to see themselves as the rest of the world sees them, cold blooded monsters. With threats of more pictures and videos coming, the ruling elites had to do something to turn the tide. Just when things couldn’t get much worse for Bush and Co., Nick Berg goes and gets himself killed!! What an astonishing coincidence! Now the propaganda spin machine is using Berg’s murder to justify the torture of Iraqis. They will use Berg’s death to play to the basest emotions of fear, anger and revenge to get their program of imperialism back on track. Like human beings, the mass media can not focus on two major issues simultaneously, side by side. One must take center stage and the other gets assigned the minor role. The Iraqi prison abuse issue is in the background now. Bush & Co. will undoubtedly work hard to make sure it stays there! The Berg murder with all its inconsistencies, twists and unanswered questions (like what was Berg really doing in Iraq and why didn’t US officials exchange him for detained Iraqis?) will be used to obfuscate and obscure the vile behavior of US troops, intelligence officers and independent contractors who are torturing, abusing dehumanizing and killing Iraqis Afghanis; and people of color all over the world. Don’t be fooled by Bush’s rhetoric, he is happier than a pig in slop Berg was murdered because it takes some pressure off of him. Bush or more correctly his handlers will spin this to their advantage. We should not be shocked at this, nor should you dismiss what I am saying. If Bush and Co could allow 9-11 to happen and from all the evidence I’ve seen, they did; they, their buddies in the Mossad or a similar agency could easily kill Nick Berg or cause another terrorist attack and claim the perpetrators were “Islamic fanatics” with links to Al Qaeda. If a scenario like this happens, voila, instant justification for more war, more spending, more deficits, more killing and more corruption. If there is another terrorist attack close to the election, Bush can either cancel the elections altogether, or he will manipulate the situation to his advantage so he wins another term. Either way, it will provide another opportunity for him to rape, pillage and plunder the planet.
