Who's Winning The Propaganda Wars?
In the first post this morning—France: Crisis Of The West Continue—we presented evidence that the political turmoil in the West is deepening. We focused on the desperate measures Macron in France is taking to negate the results of the election he himself called for. However, we also noted the unprecedented flood of Israel Lobby money inundating America—and that even before the traditional start of the campaign season, which starts after the Labor Day weekend. Many Americans may still not be aware of this basic fact, but this election is largely about effecting and justifying Jewish supremacy in the Middle East—including through genocide. There’s a reason why—with a “president” on permanent vacation—the bulk of US military power is on station in the Middle East. The resistance to this Zionist project, launched by Netanyahu, has reached the point that the Anglo-Zionist Empire is at risk—so much so that there are NO American aircraft carriers in the Pacific, in spite of continued bellicose rhetoric directed at China. Huh. No wonder Jake Sullivan is in Beijing.
"On paper" the US Navy has 11 aircraft carriers. And yet, despite what is arguably the most geopolitically tense period since WW2, only TWO carriers are deployed — both of them positioned in the Gulf of Oman. There are ZERO carriers deployed in the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, military measures alone won’t suffice. That explains the full court press to suppress all criticism of Israel has been deployed, along with the astounding amounts of money being expended to try to ensure the complete submission of the US Congress to The Israel Lobby. The desperate measures increasingly extend to outright censorship, and even threatened and actual arrest of media company executives who don’t fall in line. Much of this censorship campaign in clearly motivated by the Anglo-Zionist war for world domination, targeting Russia, China, and the Axis of Resistance to an Israeli dominated Middle East. We are witnessing increasingly restrictive measures being taken throughout the West to suppress all criticism of Israel and its genocide against Palestinians. The AIPAC campaign funding effort falls right in with the suppression of critical speech on the internet as well as at institutions of higher education. Politicians dance to the piper.
For the majority of readers who are in the US, all this is apparent. The remarkable series of events that led to an empty suit “president” being simply swapped out for another place marker tells the story. The MSM simply cheered, despite the refusal of Kama Sutra’s handlers to allow the media to speak with her. No doubt folks in most Western countries—France, Germany, the UK—are seeing similar measures, or even worse, being taken against those subject populations, those captive nations. Macron’s election denialism, and the election jiggering in the UK in Germany, are clear signs that the Ruling Class of the West feel they’re on the ropes and that the levers of power are no longer functioning. None of those three governments have anything resembling governing mandates.
Is there hope? Do we the people stand a chance against the Anglo-Zionist juggernaut?
The US AG—and here we have to acknowledge that the Turtle did keep this guy off the SCOTUS—is preparing for another faked election. So it would seem. Why else is he threatening legal, i.e., criminal, action against challenges to election fraud, specifically forecasting the US of the J6 precedents? That led Tom Luongo to suggest:

If he has to threaten this that means two things:
1. They are planning on stealing it.
2. They are afraid no one will stand by and just let them do it this time.
This is weakness and that means they are dangerous.
Meanwhile the US march to war, or along the brink, continues—led, presumably, by Blinken and Jeff Zients. Remember Jeff Zients? He’s the ultimate under the radar power operator, the current WH chief of staff. With Zhou out to pasture and Kama Sutra playing hide and seek with the media, somebody has to be running things. If it’s a power sharing setup somebody has to coordinate, and somebody has to get the pro forma signatures.
As Luongo suggests, what has the Ruling Class of the Anglo-Zionist Empire very worried is that too many people appear to be catching on. This time may not be so easy.
Judge Nap has been asking his recent guests about the role of propaganda in the Empire’s wars. Today he asked John Mearsheimer: Who’s winning the propaganda war? Naturally, the question was framed in the context of the Israeli war to subjugate the Middle East (with a little help from an Uncle). Mearsheimer quickly placed the whole issue in its proper, and wider, context—US politics.
Judge: Switching to Israel and Gaza, is Israel winning the propaganda war?
Prof: I don't think so. I don't think it's winning at all. I think certainly outside the West it's suffered a decisive defeat, but even inside the West almost everybody knows what's going on in Gaza.
Polling that we’ve presented confirms the truth of Mearsheimer’s assertion.
Even with regard to Hezbollah and Iran, there are just limits to what the Israelis can do to disguise the genocide that they're engaged in in Gaza, and the provocative behavior that they're engaged in with regard to Iran and even with regard to Hezbollah. So I don't think they're winning the propaganda war. The Israelis used to be quite sophisticated, and The Lobby used to be quite sophisticated. Here we're talking about The Israel Lobby in the United States. But those days are long gone. As I've said before, what The Lobby is engaged in now inside the United States is smashmouth politics. It's right out in the open and people see it. People know what happened to these four Ivy League university presidents, ...
Judge: Right, and to three Progressive liberal Democrat members of the House of Representatives who were defeated in primaries because AIPAC put--in the case of one of them in the Bronx--$13 million into the election. I mean, the Bronx doesn't spend $13 million in a congressional election, but the Democrats did this year.
Prof: Yeah. It's just hard to miss these things. Even the counter to Israel's propaganda and to The Lobby's propaganda seeps into the mainstream. I saw a recent clip that somebody sent me of John Stewart poking fun at the Democratic National Convention for not allowing someone who was pro- Palestinian to make a statement. I think lots and lots of people understand that the Palestinian voices were iced out at the Democratic National Convention. Every other conceivable group under the sun got to speak at the Democratic National Convention--except Palestinians. People figure out pretty quickly what's going on here, and this is why Israel is in deep trouble. There's just no question.
Yeah, and people are starting to figure out who rules America. They know its not—and never has been—Zhou, and that it’s certainly not Kama Sutra. Trump is trying to walk a very fine line. We’ll see how that works. There are other things working in his favor if he gets his act together, stops yakking about himself, and starts talking about the issues that RFK Jr. has highlighted—censorship, government coercion, etc. Yeah, justice for the middle class, too. Focus. Fight, fight, fight.
Speaking of government coercion, ya gotta luv this from Thomas Massie. It’s another issue Trump needs to come clean on. Never forget, AIPAC did its damndest to take Massie out—they don’t care about you or me:
Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie
Quit repeating this lie. Y’all forced women to take an experimental shot as a condition of employment.

I suspect this is because they are either unfit for service, or can't be crewed due to a decline in enlistment and/or low quality enlistees that aren't trainable in what are fairly sophisticated tasks.
Something similar happened to the Soviet submarine fleet post the breakup. Lacking the ability to crew or maintain them, they sat rusting in port for years and were eventually scrapped.
Just as things were going over the edge in the late 1930s, the Rockefeller Foundation funded the Radio Research Project. Radio was viewed as the medium that moved masses of people into war. It had several social scientists as part of the project, including Theodore Adorno, who labeled radio as propaganda.
Television was supposed to change this. Television came out of radio. On YouTube one can find all sorts of late 40s tv. It looks like how radio sounds. This, obviously, changed over time into the television we all know, with the high points in the 90s.
Television promoted the creation of memes over propaganda. At its strongest this was very obvious. Television did not need to shout or lecture to us. It was sufficient to be on tv and that largely ended the discussion.
What has happened in the last 20 or so years as all of us have stopped buying what television sells, is the “weakness” that Tom refers to. Television knows it’s losing, as in losing as a business model, never mind the ability to influence people. The notion of Fake News is present for everyone, left or right.
So why the weakness? Let’s borrow from Marshall McLuhan. His last book was Laws of Media. He notes Four laws about any communication medium. What does it enhance, obsolesce, retrieve and reverse or flip.
So, why weakness? Because Television has lost its grip on us. It knows this. So it must go back to its origins: RADIO. It must do what radio did to try and impact us. This is what McLuhan called “the flip.” Flip back to where it started since it is now obsolete.
Why is television obsolete and we don’t believe it? Because we went DIGITAL and this has destroyed all before it. No trust in the old memes or narratives. New narratives are coming, just not here yet.
