US Strategic Command (Stratcom) heeft haar excuses aangeboden voor een hoogst onhandige, zelfs onbeschofte, maar eerlijke Tweet, die het deed uitgaan n.a.v. het nieuwe jaar.
Caitlin Johnstone schreef gisteren een artikel waarin ze o.a. commentaar heeft over de grote ophef die het bewuste Twitterbericht in de VS veroorzaakte. Ze stelt dat men blij moet zijn met de openhartigheid van Stratcom (die naam ziet Johnstone als een 'cool' alternatief voor de volledige benaming van dit legeronderdeel dat over de inzet van atoomwapens gaat)
De 42 seconden van de video die Stratcom meestuurde geeft volgens Johnstone in die korte tijd perfect aan waar de VS voor staat: het zaaien van dood en verderf......
Sterker nog: vooral het excuus van Stratcom, na de ophef die het Twitterbericht veroorzaakte in de VS, is een dikke vette leugen!! Vooral de zin: "We apologize. We are dedicated to the security of America & allies." steekt Johnstone, daar het brengen van terreur over de wereld niets te maken heeft met de veiligheid van de VS, noch die van haar hielenlikkende westerse partners (als Nederland)...... Integendeel de militaire acties van de VS en haar oorlogshond, ofwel terreurorganisatie NAVO, creëren terreur op de straten in het westen, terreur veroorzaakt door veel grootschaliger westerse terreur, waar wij onze privacy voor in moeten leveren, zaken die niets met onze veiligheid te maken hebben......
Voorafgaand aan het excuus durfde Stratcom op te merken dat: "Our
previous NYE tweet was in poor taste & does not reflect our
values........." ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! De eerdere Tweet
met reclame voor de kernbomen, raketten en oorlogsvoering in het algemeen 'reflecteert' nu juist
precies de waarden van Stratcom en daarmee van de uiterst agressieve
en terroristische VS oorlogsmachine!! Het
is dan ook juist het militair-industriële complex dat enorme sommen
geld spendeert om de bevolking een rad voor ogen te draaien en hen te
laten geloven dat de VS juist handelt met haar grootschalige
terreur....... Je begrijpt dat e.e.a. te danken is aan de reguliere massamedia, die als het
grootste deel van de politici, die leugens (anders gezegd:
propaganda) bij de bevolking door de strot duwen......
Om even wat militaire terreuracties van de VS (en de NAVO) te noemen:
- De illegale oorlogen die de VS keer op keer begint (zoals gezegd in landen waar het niets te zoeken heeft) met hulp van de NAVO.
- Standrechtelijke executies middels drones van intussen vele duizenden verdachte mensen in het buitenland (waarbij meer dan 90% van de vermoorde mensen niet eens werd verdacht van terreur of wat dan ook).
- Andere illegale, geheime militaire acties in het buitenland.
- De opstanden die de VS organiseert in meerdere buitenlanden en de staatsgrepen die daar meestal op volgen, of staatsgrepen die de CIA in het buitenland organiseert samen met het daar bestaande militaire apparaat en geheime diensten.
- De steun van de VS voor dictators, zoals die voor de reli-fascistische terreurstaat Saoedi-Arabië.
Ach, Johnstone brengt het veel beter onder woorden, lees het artikel van Johnstone en geeft het door: als we echt vrede willen, zal de VS als eerste terug moeten in haar hok en daar moet blijven, ofwel: YANKEE GO HOME! (AND NEVER RETURN!!)
US Military Apologizes For Posting Uncomfortably Honest Tweet
US Strategic Command (or "Stratcom" if you're trying to make a nuclear-capable arm of the US Defense Department sound cool) has issued an apology for a poorly received New Year's Eve tweet which has since been deleted.
"#TimesSquare tradition rings in the #NewYear by dropping the big ball...if ever needed, we are #ready to drop something much, much bigger," the offending tweet read, with an attached video featuring B-2 stealth bombers flying all stealth bombery and causing gigantic explosions with bunker buster bombs while words like "STEALTH", "READY", and "LETHAL" flashed across the screen. The tweet concluded with the ostensibly unironic hashtag "#PeaceIsOurProfession".
"Our previous NYE tweet was in poor taste & does not reflect our values," Strategic Command tweeted.
"We apologize. We are dedicated to the security of America & allies."
Our previous NYE tweet was in poor taste & does not reflect our values. We apologize. We are dedicated to the security of America & allies.
This statement is, obviously, a lie. The part about "security" of course, because dominating the globe with nonstop military violence and aggression has nothing to do with security, but also the "does not reflect our values" part. The US military deleted the post and apologized for it because it received an angry backlash from hundreds of commenters and was circulated virally on Twitter for its jarringly creepy message, not because it did not reflect their values. It reflected their values perfectly. The only way you could possibly encapsulate the US military's values in a 42-second video clip more perfectly than cramming it full of footage of $2,000,000,000 war planes cruising around dropping $3,500,000 GBU-57 bombs would be to also show the human bodies they land on being ripped to pieces. Inflicting death and destruction using unfathomably expensive machinery is the US military's whole job. Of course it reflects their values.
The real issue here was not values but perception. The US war machine pours an immense amount of energy into perception management, making sure that ordinary Americans either (A) ignore the horrific things that are being done in their name or (B) think that those things are awesome and patriotic. The offending post was clearly attempting to accomplish (B). A team of paid social media propagandists simply did not understand that ordinary human beings wouldn't resonate with a message that amounts to "Hey I see you're all preparing to bring in the new year, so watch how good we are at killing large numbers of people!", and some damage control became necessary when everyone got freaked out. Can't have people opening their eyes to how insane America's relentless military expansionism has gotten, after all.
Watching the propaganda arm of the US-centralized war machine is a lot like watching a manipulative sociopath learning how to function in normal society. Sometimes they'll slip up and fail to react the way someone with a healthy sense of empathy would respond to the death of a pet or someone's emotions or whatever, and they risk alienating whoever's around them and losing access to the resources they could exploit them for if they can't manipulate them out of the creeped-out feeling people get when they're around someone who doesn't empathize like a normal human being. I suspect many of the commenters who flooded in telling Stratcom to delete its tweet were not so much interested in eliminating a violent social media post from the internet, but in eliminating that creeped-out feeling you get when the sociopath's mask slips a bit.
(de volgende video is dezelfde als die in het originele Twitterbericht)
I'm so glad I had decided to download this video from the #UnitedStates StratCom Tweet earlier.
Here's the video the StratCom had released earlier today. They took down the tweet.
Here's the video for any of you looking for it.#HappyNewYear2019 #StealthBomber

And
that's understandable. One of the biggest obstacles in getting people
to realize how deeply propagandized they are is the cognitive
dissonance which comes rushing in when one considers the implications
of viewing the world free from the lens of military psychological
manipulations. Without the lies about how beneficent and necessary
and awesome the military is, all you've got is trillions of dollars
worth of instruments of death circling the globe to facilitate the
daily slaughter of men, women and children to advance agendas of
power and profit while ordinary people struggle just to get by in
your own country. It can be deeply psychologically uncomfortable to
grapple with the reality of what that means for your beliefs about
your nation, your society and your very identity, in much the same
way realizing you married a manipulative sociopath can be an
uncomfortable truth one might feel tempted to compartmentalize away
from.
A
lot of people got upset about that tweet, but they really shouldn't
have. The tweet was not the problem; it was just a few perception
managers for the US military being more honest and straightforward
than usual. The problem is that money is being stolen from ordinary
Americans to murder strangers on the other side of the planet to
advance agendas of power and profit, and everyone's being
propagandized into accepting
that as normal.
The sociopathic propaganda engine slipping up and stirring the
populace from their slumber a bit is nothing to complain about, the
actual reality of our actual situation is.
