JACKBOOTS V.S. CYBERCULTURE

The idea of springing into action with great ideals and the spirit of revolution has always been the dream of those who feel oppressed by the elite. It is a concept built so inextricably into the mythos of America’s origins that it sometimes becomes an obstacle to performing the difficult tasks necessary to beneficial change.
An organized effort to demand accountability by our leaders for their actions is admirable, and I am not about to disparage the efforts of those who sincerely wish to bring about change. However, there is no excuse for bombing a city and allowing chaos to reign as the police presence and the war zone aesthetic is brought to America because of a media that generates fear and a government that knows how to present the image of power and brute force.
America lives in a duality that was created out of fear by a horrible crime that divided the country. After the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the people, lost in grief, embraced government as a savior and protector. We welcomed the spirit of the police state to send a message to terrorists that we have firepower, military and civilian police capable of combating any and all thoughts and actions that we saw as treasonous or heretical, as a contradiction of America’s “freedom”.
Out of all of it came the idea that the political right wing was the critical parent responsible for all of the oppression. The neoconservative bloc was allegedly responsible for the creation of theTSA and Homeland Security, while the political left spoke out against it and demonstrated that their alternative would project a new utopia free from the oppression of the encroaching police state. Unfortunately, we learned that it was all a whitewash. It was a set-up to use psychological warfare to promulgate the same policies and manipulation now in the Obama Administration.
With the Boston Marathon Saga, we are witnessing the classic game-playing of the sort used by all government psychological operations. It is well established that the agenda of “government as usual” includes the denial of “rights” provided for by the dictates of that same government.
There is now a precedent for not trusting the fourth estate, to question the narrative – even if it fits and reports everything that fits with what we want it to be. Everything is a contrivance for your political action, for your two minutes of hate and your servitude to an ever-encroaching government that will now sell you on the idea that a beefed-up militarized police can prevent further incidences of the chaos we are seeing in Boston.
It is reasoned that the reason for the eliminating of a consistent fourth estate an attempt to protect members of the media from making themselves look foolish. A state media that receives information from the state eliminates the excuse for erroneous information.
Journalists know the risks of what they do. Real journalists know that the public’s right to know sometimes far outweighs the risks. They know that they have the responsibility to give accurate reports. By controlling what the media says about an incident and the government’s response, the sources of information can declare an enemy by directing the general consensus opinion through controlled media and contrived enabling.
When fighting to bring the people accurate information in the face of the official truth levied by the mainstream media, I haven’t got a prayer. All I have is what I have experienced – and what I have experienced seems like it was created in the Twilight Zone. It is hard to fight an official story, but I want you to trust me when I say that the official story of the Boston Marathon suspect manhunt abruptly changed after 3:00 am Pacific time.
As far as we know, there was a police officer killed. As far as witnesses were concerned, there was a chase, and there was a suspect lying on the ground and another suspect, who was naked, put into a car.
The Boston Globe, two local television stations in Boston and a police scanner did not report that the suspects were Chechnyan terrorists. They were being listed as students, with different names.
The suspects named were Sunil Tripathi and Mike Mulugeta. Sunil was being sought by the FBI because he wound up missing from Brown University and his family was worried he was suicidal.
But it all changed after 3:00 AM Pacific time.
The police were said to have both suspects in custody as was seen on the local TV – it was supposed that the suspects were the naked man and the man on the ground. Then the report changed to one man dead and another at large.
The network news was still trying to figure out if the suspects were the Boston bombers.
The Boston Globe had it all sewn up. WCVB 5 and WHDH 7 were reporting all of the details.
CNN went live two hours after the chase, NBC went live after midnight, and Fox waited until 2:00 AM before they went live and were reporting that there was no definite proof that the suspects were linked to the Boston Bombing
It all changed after 3:00 AM.
The police held a press conference saying that the media was to ignore all of the information, that there was new information that they were going to reveal. They asked people to remain in their homes. The media called in psychologists and profilers to paint a picture of what the suspects were like.
This is where we started to hear that the suspects were terrorists, that they came to America with the sole intent to kill – and that they had probably been in the country for a short amount of time and planned this. Reports already said that they had ties to Afghanistan and that authorities knew who they were but could not reveal their identities to the public.
By this time I realized that all of the information that I had reported was completely compromised. As the mainstream media took control of the narrative, there was no way I could fight against the media’s message of “hang ‘em high” and “we can’t let the terrorists win.”
Suspects became implicit perpetrators on the strength of media spin as the death of one of them was happily reported. People were kept in their homes, city transit was shut down, barriers went up. It was something out of a Nazi night mare.
The open-ended war on terror took precedent over constitutional law. The specter of a police state became reality and was accepted without question as a 19-year-old Chechnyan was being held in a house, or on the run, or in a home, on a boat…whichever version was convenient.
Most of the people believe the authorities. I spent all night reporting the stories, monitoring the sources, hearing the confident reports — only to be told that everything I knew was wrong. Most of what I said was erased, forgotten and put away as conjecture or even hallucination.
But I know what I reported. I know that I did the best I could with the information I was receiving at the time, trying with the rest of the journalistic community to aggregate conflicting reports, rapidly changing stories and a continuous stream of speculations offered by the highest-rated news corporations if they were official information.
Sandy Hook, of course, was the last story that was this full of hole. No matter what was revealed as fallacy, so many people were emotionally bound to the story and not logically aware of the myriad inconsistencies.
Yesterday, in a press conference seen by millions around the world, Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division, produced photos and video of two suspects in the Marathon bombing.
He stated: “…these images should be the only ones, I emphasize, the only ones that the public should view to assist us.  Other photos should not be deemed credible, and they unnecessarily divert the public’s attention in the wrong direction, and create undue work for vital law-enforcement resources.”
As if by a magician forcing a card on you for the final trick, we were told to ignore all the images uncovered by independent researchers, citizen reporters, and bloggers.
We were also told to ignore photos of those men who appeared to work for Craft International, a private security contractor, who were standing at the finish line of the Marathon.
We cannot ignore the fact that the police were trying to find a way to shut down police scanners, to keep twitter feeds from releasing anything to the media, or even to other interested parties, especially during the final confrontation with the second suspect.
The media itself, a victim of its own hubris, was forced to admit that all of its information was incorrect because of what they were told by authorities – then all of it is changed, and missing students became military-trained Chechens with a love for Islam.
The whole thing demonstrates that something that first appeared to be classic mob violence has now mushroomed into terrorist activity with stories of Islamic hate, and from a source that no one would have imagined. This throws everyone off of the theory trail. And while free thinking may get you into hot water, the effect of police state imagery has most definitely been shown on the news stations in the last three days.
While my findings are challenging the mainstream narrative, I am confident about how all of the activity appears to be like unto a police state psychosis with all of the fear and jackboots that can be gleaned from the pages of Orwell’s 1984.
We need to be clear that the tactical briefings given in Watertown prior to 3:00 AM Pacific time were immediately changed upon lockdown. Hypothetical profiling now leaned towards a terrorist operation, nullifying any and all theories or work that we had put into a solid and sound investigation about the location and motives for the bombings
The blueprint was followed quite well. Successful manipulation of the populace was accomplished. The evidence is clear: someone or some group, a governing body efficient in mental manipulation, has succeeded in unleashing a demon capable of polarizing the country throughout all levels of society, playing both sides against the middle.
At this time it is not comfortable to be crushed in the middle – and if you are hoping that I apologize for my efforts and my work, I can’t. Being curious and asking questions should never be seen as mere complaint, or automatically interpreted as an attempt to imply a conspiracy theory.
I cannot allow myself to just shut up and go with the flow, when I am seeing my country crumbling into despotic rubble.
This is not only what a police state looks like; it is what a police state without all of the official pomp and circumstance looks like.
A listener told me that know he knows what it must have felt like in Nazi Germany when they went knocking on doors looking for the Jews. It isn’t quite like that, but it most certainly has a resonant effect. When the door is kicked in, or there is a pounding on the door in the middle of the night, you can bet that fear is on the minds of everyone. Not of one possible terrorist , but of the jackboot stomping on our faces forever.
