Democracy NOW! Globalist Force Continuum Tool of Propaganda
Posted on December 21, 2011 by willylomanby Scott Creighton
Just a quick note: Democracy NOW! run by Amy Goodman, is a globalist tool used to spread propaganda to the liberal left. The proof of this is undeniable just look back at their articles supporting the false stories about the Libyan government crackdown on "protesters" in the early stages of the Libyan regime change operation and look at the bullshit they are presenting now regarding the globalist's next target, Syria.
Stratfor just released a paper (The Syria Crisis: Assessing Foreign Intervention) detailing how the actions in Libya and Syria were low intensity psyops designed by Western governments (globalists) to force regime change on those two countries. They also state that the reports coming from the NGOs in those countries are certainly exaggerated to make the current regimes look bad.
Here is Democracy NOW!'s banner on their "Libya Uprising" page followed by a few headlines from old DN stories which helped build support for Obama's illegal invasion of Libya.

The least risky and least detectable option for a country pursuing intervention is to ramp up intelligence activities in the target country. Such activities can involve clandestine activities like developing contact with opposition figures or encouraging generals to conduct a coup or defect to the opposition. Clandestine efforts can also include working with opposition groups and nongovernmental organizations to improve their information warfare activities. These activities may progress to more obvious covert actions, such as assassinations or sabotage. Most of the actions taken in the covert intelligence war against Iran can be placed in this level.
Clandestine and covert activities often are accompanied or preceded by overt diplomatic pressure. This includes press statements denouncing the leadership of the target country, the initiation of resolutions in international organizations, such as the Arab League or the United Nations, and international economic sanctions" Stratfor
Clearly Democracy NOW! has become a go-to vehicle for passing along propaganda from the Obama/Clinton regime in their information warfare activities. They are constantly providing a venue for NGOs and opposition group leaders to spread their disinformation to the left wing supporters of Obama.Clandestine and covert activities often are accompanied or preceded by overt diplomatic pressure.

Democracy NOW! – Globalist Force Continuum Tool of Propaganda - Peter Lemkin - 22-12-2011
Sorry, but I honestly disagree with this, and this kind of attack [eating our own on the left]. Granted, Amy Goodman is not as radical as I or some others on this Forum might like. However, I do not see her as involved in some plot; only as someone on a continuum of political views and awareness, not as progressive as some others. I object to some of her coverage on some stories. I object to her blackout of 911 coverage entirely. However, she and her staff have also done great work; supported great reporters [I'd be willing to name] who I know you respect and obviously THEY respect Goodman enough to repeatedly appear on her show. This tendency of some on the left to cannibalize and excommunicate all those who don't fit the perfect shoe size is in itself, IMHO, suspect as a conspiracy of sorts. I think sometimes one has to just accept the good things people have done; yes, feel free to critisize them for when they got something wrong; but not be so hasty to condemn them totally and state they are fronts for this and that. It makes me wonder if the person so claiming might not be a false front for something to divide and conquer the left in the guise of making it as pure as snow. None of us are perfect in our viewpoints, perceptions, analyses, etc. None of us have not at times fallen for some propaganda by the governments or their machinery, etc. DN! is not radical left. It is, however, far left of center on most [not all] stories. Personally, I don't see a plot. I see humans and humans have different ways of reacting to stories; political philosophies and their ideas of what will best represent a true telling of a story. He or she who is without 'sin' cast the first stone and those already casing them....I always watch carefully what their agenda is...... I suggest people would more constructively try to better educate DN! and Goodman her staff. Each to their own. Bashing DN! is fully allowed to. I said my piece. Peace.

Strange Contours: Resistance and the Manipulation of People Power
by Edmund Berger / December 21st, 2011
Without substantial social reform and redistribution of economic assets, representative institutions no matter how democratic' in form will simply mirror the undemocratic power relations of society. Democracy requires a change in the balance of forces in society. Concentration of economic power in the hands of a small elite is a structural obstacle to democracy. It must be displaced if democracy is to emerge. ((Barry Gills, Joen Rocamora, and Richard Wilson, Low Intensity Democracy: Political Power in the New World Order Pluto Press, 1993, quoted in Michael Barker "Do Capitalists Fund Revolutions? (Part 1 of 2)" Znet, September

I'd just suggest that people actually read the Stratfor paper on Syria cited by Mr. Jewett. I did not see
anything there to back up his assertion that the gentle Syrian and Libyan regims were oppressed by
some low-intensity "psyops." The entire world, with the apparent exception of Mr. Jewett, knows
what is happening in Syria and knew very well what had happened in Libya. Aside from Gaddaffi's
and Assad's propaganda machines there is no reputable source anywhere that denies the brutality
of these regimes.

Stratfor? I don't read or subscribe to Stratfor.
