Theshooting in Orlando, Florida, is not about homosexuals, or Muslims, or assaultrifles.
It is aboutwaging aggressive warfare overseas, empowering the domestic police state, andelecting a warmongering President.
Dr. Graeme McQueen, founding member ofthe Centre for Peace Studies at McMaster University, Canada and authorof The 2001 Anthrax Deception, argues that the prime suspects in any such case should be intelligenceagencies.
We don'thave to go far to see the dirty hand of intelligence agencies in thiscatastrophe. The shooter himself was an employee of G4S , described by journalist Alex Emmons as "agiant, often controversial global contracting corporation that providesmercenary forces, prison guards and security services."
Additionally, the shooter's fatheris said to be a CIA asset.
Given that Intelligence agencies are well-positioned toengineer synthetic terror threats, author Naomi Wolfargues that it is "crazy" not to question news events, since "spectacles" drive"outcomes". Further, she observes thatpropagandizing the public includes films (i.e. "Zero Dark Thirty" -- arguingthat the Pentagon must have "signed off" on it ) which indirectly seek to"normalize" intelligence operations such as torture and mass surveillance.
Intelligenceoperatives know that synthetic terror events shock and anesthetize the public;that they make people susceptible to manipulation; and that they lay thegroundwork for the terror event to be easily politicized.
Naomi Kleindescribes the same dynamic in The Shock Doctrine. When people are shocked by a real or man-madeevent, they can be easily manipulated to support wars, or neoliberal marketschemes, or any number of toxic agendas.
A simpleformula underpins these operations: problem, reaction, solution.
The problem from the perspective ofcriminal warmongers is that the public doesn't want war or a police state. The intended reaction of the operationisthat thesynthetic terror eventwill induce people to seekprotection from the state, coupledwith aggressive war to bomb the threat out of existence. The solution, or intended result, isalready occurring. Engineered fear andracism have set the stage for the public to be manipulated to accept a covertagenda that it would otherwise reject.
CuiBono? Who benefits? The police stateapparatus, War Inc., and a warmongering Presidential agenda all benefit.
Themanipulation of the public is further enabled by an amendment to the NationalDefence Authorization Act (NDAA) which negates the Smith-Mundt Act (SMA) of1984 which prohibits government agencies from propagandizing domestic populations.
Susan Poselexplains in "How the NDAA Allows US Gov to UsePropaganda Against Americans": "SMA defines the prohibition of domestic access toinfluence information through a variety of means, from broadcast to publishingof books, media, and online sources by restricting the State Department.
The BroadcastingBoard of Governors wascreated from SMA. This agency claims to "inform, engage, and connect peoplearound the world in support of 'freedom and democracy'. They omit that theirspecialty is making sure propaganda is added to the informational flow we alldepend on."
Instead ofsuccumbing to the shock of terror events, instead of allowing our "reptilianminds" to overrule rational decision-making processes, we need to decode theOrlando shooting, and other terror events, within the "problem, reaction,solution" framework, and be conscious of how they are being manipulated andpoliticized to suit covert agendas that do not serve the public interest. The"therapy" for the shock will allow us to subordinate our "reptilian" mindsets,and to act rationally. A rational mindsetwill reject the racism, hatred, and warmongering which are intended off-shootsof these terror events.
