Wag The Dog Perception Changing

 

The strike against Syria was called 'Trump's wag the dog moment' which comes from an awesome movie made in 1997. The whole wag the dog thing comes from an expression  Why does the dog wag its tail? Because a dog is smarter than its tail...  If the tail were smarter, it would wag the dog.

It's all about the tail wagging the dog in other words keeping you distracted from the truth.

Not about any president in particular because it's about the spin and bullshit rather than a political attack or satire. It mirrored real life events in the past as well as the future. The movie president did something inappropriate with a Firefly girl (the fictional equivalent of a Girl Scout) and a spin doctor was brought in to make it better as there was an election just days away. Weeks after the movie release the Clinton and Lewinsky sex scandal came out.  

De Niro is brought in and immediately stalls for time because an extended trip in China buys him another couple of days and it's all about filling days and getting past the election. 

He tells the room of advisers that the president's delay certainly has nothing to do with the B-3 Bomber so definitely don't be leaking that.  

They are a bit slow to catch on. De Niro just made up a fictional bomber and a possible distraction story on the spot. 

[Kim jong un may have nukes and can strike at the US we have to do something]

North Korea might have nukes ... I didn't know there was a law against it.  They cannot either now or in the near future strike at the US. Their subs are old from the 60's and have a range of 300 miles, a missile assuming they were able to launch one could have up to 600 miles at the very most.

The worry is really for South Korea and Japan, our wealthy allies. To make a strike more palpable to the world and the American people they have to talk in terms of Americans under threat so then they talk about NK striking the US or against the numerous US bases ... lets hope they don't target the black site in Thailand known as Detention Site Green cos how can the CIA ignore human rights if the black sites are blown up ... no they can't use one of the 21 prison ships they use to get around pesky laws. 

The reason why Trump flip flopped with NATO is Article 5. If an ally gets attacked we back them up. Trump is getting ready to strike NK and the Chinese manipulated him to that point. 

[lets hope Kim jong un doesn't use those new ICBM's he kindly put on show for us in his recent parade or fill up rockets with Sarin as President Abe mentioned] 

De Niro just hopes that the news of the B-3 Bomber being leaked doesn't mess up its testing because it has to be ready for the crisis. 

 You have to make other things back the story up so they send a General to talk with Boeing and make sure that news gets out. 

Tidbits to the reporters to make them work for you. Like the ratings hungry Rachel Maddow who teased that she had Trump's tax returns but had nothing news worthy.

Leaks have long been used to get a fake story out. Recently a memo from General Mattis about plans to board Iranian boats in international waters was leaked. Mattis is hawkish about Iran, this is well known but getting that out there suggests that the US isn't all just talk.

Make sure you have your own Sean Spicer to deny things in order to make people even more suspicious.


Trump complains about leaks and suddenly a couple of pages of his tax returns with no damning news on them and stamped with 'clients copy' comes out ... that a news cycle taken up about a nothing news story.  So yeah, he leaks his own stuff. 

You think he tweets to keep the public informed? The whole wire tapping thing was a massive pile of bullshit but it came from the president so of course it had to be investigated even though it wasn't true.  

While on a plane to enlist the help of a Movie producer (Dustin Hoffman) De Niro talks about the concept of distraction and says it's nothing new.  

No time to shout BEIRUT! like Conservatives have been shouting BENGHAZI! ... and that was only with 4 dead. Reagan had 10 embassies attacked, 318 deaths including one ambassador but who remembers that? 
Bush had 13 attacks, 66 dead. Obama had 2 attacks with just the 4 at Benghazi dead. Not to belittle the tragic deaths for 4 men but shame on those shouting Benghazi and demanding justice while ignoring the 384 deaths. 

De Niro points out that while no one remembers the wars but they do remember the slogans.   "We remember the slogans, we can't even remember the fucking wars. You know why? That's show business. That's why we're here. Naked girl covered in Napalm. 'V for Victory'. Five Marines raising the flag, Mt. Suribachi. You remember the picture 50 years from now, you'll have forgotten the war. The Gulf War, smart bomb falling down a chimney. 2500 missions a day, 100 days. ONE video of ONE bomb."   

Remember the Maine!  ... Tippecanoe and Tyler Too! ... 54-40-Or Fight! 

He suggests a war. Well not a real one, just the appearance of one. He randomly says "Albania" when asked What have they done to us? he replies "What have they done FOR us? What do you know about them?" ... nothing ..."See? They keep to themselves. Shifty. Untrustable."

The producer makes a set with green screen to show Albania and how we must save the people such as this young Albania gurl running away from the rape squads with her kitten. Tracey in the video was told she could never put this on her resume.

A little like Trump fighting for gassed children. Ivanka suggested he did it, not because it was right but because it would help them to look better.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio held up a picture of a dead Syrian child to shame Chris Christie who rejected allowing Syrian refugees (especially orphans under the age of 5) into New Jersey. 

Without acknowledging the irony, ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley held up pictures of dead gassed children in Syria to justify the US bombing an unimportant landing strip.

The US has already compassionately put a hold on the Syrian refugee program. That makes this dog and pony show even more distasteful.

Like a girl and her kitty hit them in the feels huh ... while the un-trendy and not of use deaths get ignored. 

Then you have to have a Live Aid type song too. 

There comes a time, in the course of human events... when a threat must be answered... with courage and strength... Our forefathers earned ... The right to be free. Now it's time... To guard their dream.

We guard ... Our American borders ... We guard the American dream ... We guard our right, to fight for democracy ... And keep our country free. We guard our American spirit ... We guard the American dream. 

   

Then the movie also had this one. 

 

"American girls and American guys ... We'll always stand up and salute ... We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying ... There's a lot of men dead .... So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head." 

Oh wait, this is an actual song. One of the many that came out after 9/11.  My favorite being Iraq and Roll ... You think the 1997 movie was being corny and dumb until you realise it's very close to reality. 

Patriots, especially those that have never served but do the most shouting for war tend to bug the fuck out of Old Knudsen.  The people that make the decision to go to war should A. have been to war and B. have a child that is serving in the military ... not draft dodging loud mouths whose life experience has been in a pampered elitist bubble.   

In the movie a rival presidential candidate with the backing of the CIA took the wind from De Niro's sails and declared the war over. Don't you hate it when the Intel community get political? ... yeah I'm looking at you FBI. 

They still had days to the election and didn't want the sex scandal in the news so they made up a US soldier that had been left behind in Albania. The fictional Albanian terrorists released a photo and in it had the secret morse code message 'courage mom'  ... a soldier that loves his mom, I think I'm tearing up.

Like the crew of the USS Pueblo captured by the North Koreans in 1968. Displayed for propaganda the crew had one person in each photo designated to show the middle finger. The North Koreans questioned it and believed it when the sailors said it was a Hawaiian good luck sign. The North Koreans sure didn't get any brighter over the years. 

In the movie the soldier picked to be the captured hero was called Sgt Schumann ... old shoe. So De Niro and Hoffman throw shoes over trees and cables and soon it catches on. The public buy into it and run with it. 

They even invented the unit that Schumann had served in, the 3-0-3.  

These days people sell ribbons and t-shirts or just change their social media profile pic if they can't be arsed but want to show their friends they care because it's what the sheep do. 

To really tug at their heart strings they had a song. 

I can tell the way you're feelin mom ... a million miles away. I know that I've been on your mind. And in your thoughts today. So pray for me, the way you do. Quote, the 37th Psalm. I'll do the same in his great name... And you have courage mom.   

Written and sung by Merle Haggard. 

It turned out that the special program they got Schumann from was really prison, he had raped a nun. Pretty fucked in the head Hoffman tried to explain it was because of Albania obviously.

They couldn't really go public with him but after a series of unfortunate events Schumann was killed by a hick with a shotgun.  

 

Bringing Schumann home was described as a tease. It would happen just after the election. Like a voting pact. Elect me and you'll get Sgt Schumann the next day. They got him back but as a dead war hero.
Nothing makes civvies more proud than dead soldiers ... they love em. Thank you for your service and hey lets use homeless vets as a pawn to avoid bringing in refugees. Civvies are big with the military talk.

The movie had some 303 soldiers and a flag draped casket. A parody of the Green Beret song was played.    

We're gathered here. With a cross to bear. The bravest men ... Anywhere. That this great land ... Will remain free. God bless the men ... Of the 3-0-3. Side by side. We know no fear. Our minds are sharp. Our eyes are clear.  In the air, on land ...  Or on the sea.  We're the fightin men ... of the 3-0-3.

Written by Huey Lewis.

Your prize for getting this far

Old Knudsen understand spin and how difficult it has become in separating fact from fiction. Wag the Dog is a mind altering must see film that is funny because it's true. The public has been and is being manipulated. Like how I was told that Syria was a pile of rubble but someone who has just seen those bomb pictures when in reality there is plenty of Syria that still needs to be bombed. 

People used to think that we in Belfast during the Troubles were dodging bombs and IRA snipers everyday ... it wasn't everyday. 

Perception is all which is why Trump is failing with the optics. Those golfing pics and gold covered walls of Mar a Lago will be his down fall. Like how Old Knudsen knows that after you've read this post the biggest take away from it will be how the fuck can he suck his own dick and does he swallow? ... does it make him ghey?    

 

  
 

Cambridge Analytica Knows What You Did Last Summer

Just because you aren't introspective doesn't mean that others haven't picked you apart psychologically

This post is not conspiracy, it isn't science fiction either. It's a rabbit hole so deep and complex that I can't tell you everything or you'd be overwhelmed and would miss the message.

It isn't just the Russians that focus vast resources on hacking and the controlled leaking of information. Sure they do it and even have an Information Warfare Unit with the goal of destabilizing the EU, NATO and their main rival the US.

You collect information, exploit weaknesses and create your own narrative. This is what you do and others have been doing it and are doing it now. You've helped them to do it too by creating accounts and with your activity online.  

 
Cambridge Analytica is a company that uses data mining and data analysis to predict outcomes and to direct public perceptions towards to a desired agenda. 

This is used in marketing for brand recognition and to tailor ads to the customer going by sites they've visited, purchases they've made and even every single fucken LIKE they've ever made on social media. This isn't new, we know our information gets passed around like a hooker that hasn't lost their looks yet. We get cold calls from people trying to sell us shit and we get spam e-mails. 

Cambridge Analytica takes ALL your information and analyses it from Face Book, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, PornHub ... if you are online they can get your info. They can track you around the world and build a profile on you. 

     Alexander Nix CEO Cambridge Analytica

It isn't just marketing to sell you products, this technology is also used to to influence voting. Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL (Strategic Communication Laboratories) Group is known for its military disinformation campaigns and since 1994 has been involved in 25 international elections. They help the military and politicians study and manipulate public opinion. They have influenced elections in Italy, Latvia, Ukraine, Albania, Romania, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritius, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Taiwan, Colombia, Antigua, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Kitts & Nevis, Trinidad & Tobago.

In 2012 it entered the US and was involved in 44 congressional, US Senate and state-level elections. Cambridge Analytica was used by Ted Cruz but when they saw that Trump was the more successful candidate and they changed over to him.

His poker face

Meet Robert Mercer, a computer scientist and co-CEO of the hedge fund Renaissance Technologies. The Billionaire heavily funds Cambridge Analytica and was the single biggest donor for the 2016 presidential election. 

Mercer has worked with Stephen Bannon over the years on Breitbart, Reclaim New York and the Government Accountability Institute. Bannon is also on the board of Cambridge Analytica. Mercer's daughter Rebekah worked with Kellyanne Conway. They helped those two get top jobs in Trump's admin.

      That moment when you sober up enough and think, shit, the president has a fucken mullet

Mercer is Conservative, not just a hate poor people like war Conservative but one that spends millions against the threat known as the Liberal agenda. Rich people only hate Political Correctness because doing the right thing gets in the way of what they are doing. The right thing does not make money, someone has to suffer. 

You can see the US Constitution as a Liberal agenda if you will with the all men created equal thing and the rights given out in it. Lofty Liberal ideals which many find too hard to live up to so they pervert the meaning of it and before you know it a well regulated militia turns into every civvie lard ass with a loaded assault rifle. 

By assault rifle I mean a rifle that could easily be used by the military. I'm sure the Founding fathers did not mean for this to happen. They didn't trust the people enough with votes hence the Electoral College but they'd trust them with semi-automatic weapons ... I don't think so. 

The Liberal agenda is equality, mutual respect and not being douche bags. Mercer, Nix, Bannon, Miller, Tillerson,Trump can not be anything but douche bags who want to lay down their law. 

 

 The Brex Pistols as they call themselves.

Raheem Kassam on the right is an ex Nigel Farage adviser. He tried to become leader of Ukip but dropped out, now he is the Editor in Chief of Breitbart News London.

Arron Banks with the poppy is a millionaire that funded the Leave EU campaign. He paid for all sorts of propaganda from page headlines to billboards. Cambridge Analytica advised Ukip and the Leave campaign for free. Mercer has been a friend of Farage for years. 

Gerry Gunster on the far left (that's the only far left he's on) is Washington political strategist who has worked on many US referendums with a claimed 90% success rate. He's not someone that you usually see as he prefers to be in the background pulling the strings.

Andy Wigmore between Farage and Kassam is the communications director of Leave.eu. Otherwise known as a media guru. He knows that with every speech given there are key words that have to be used. Wigmore met with Trump's team at the start of the Leave Campaign, Jared Kushner and Jason Miller the then  communications director knew these AI programs were the holy grail to be able to judge and invoke reactions in the public. 

Pay more attention to the phrases that trend on social media. Someone just doesn't sit there in their mom's basement and say, "hey that sounds catchy I'd better do a hashtag." 

So yes Cambridge Analytica aided Brexit. Brittany Kaiser, an employee of Cambridge Analytica was even at Leave EU press conferences to explain the technology behind the campaign. 

The Democratic Unionist party DUP in Northern Ireland spent £282,000 on a pro-Brexit ad in a Newspaper in England. The paper isn't even sold in Northern Ireland. Because of The Troubles there is less transparency with donations or how to spend it. 

A group of businessmen from the CRC, Constitutional Research Council gave £425,000 to the DUP. This group is quite mysterious and only Richard Cook a wealthy Conservative Brexitard is the only name known. 

An anonymous group giving thousands to spend elsewhere, very fucken dodgy huh. That sums up the whole Brexit campaign, dodgy as fuck lies. 

 "Today in the United States we have somewhere close to four or five thousand data points on every individual. ... So we model the personality of every adult across the United States, some 230 million people."
— Alexander Nix (Chief Executive, Cambridge Analytica), October 2016

 

These are real people spending millions to shift public perceptions and influence opinion. In the military it's called  psyops ... psychological operations. Mass propaganda that works by acting on people’s emotions.

Look at the stock market. When something happens or even when Trump tweets the money people get worried and stocks dive. Moods worldwide can be effected and changed. We run on emotion. 

Don't you even wonder why things like immigration, ISIS, Hillary's e-mails and every little thing Trump does becomes so overwhelming in trending and news feeds? It's like nothing else exists. The media plays into this by thinking that this is obviously the big story to cover and that everyone is talking about it. 

A bill to strip funding gets quietly passed while everyone is freaking out over what Trump has tweeted about. 

Trump and Bannon spoke at CPAC and they gave out some of their evil plan but did any of it trend? The biggest story was how they were trolled into waving Russian flags. 

Breitbart opened in London in 2014 and with the up and coming European elections, France and Germany are next for a Breitbart expansion. 

There is also a war of the bots.  Before the EU referendum one third of Twitter traffic was automated bots. Before the US election for every one bot there were 5 bots in favour of Trump and many of those were Russian in origin. 

Russian bots were just recently used in a smear campaign against a Ukip politician during the by-election in Stoke that he lost. 

These bots are automated and programmed to look and act like people, to change the conversation or to make topics trend. 

Hundreds and hundreds of bots blasting out links just before the US elections, also hundreds of websites set up to blast out the same message.  All these voices that seem to be people agreeing with Trump just herding along public opinion. 

There are sleeper bots that remain dormant with a Twitter account until needed to Tweet all at once and that's it until next time. 

Old Knudsen has seen what looks like Twitter accounts that retweet month old stories and they keep cycling them. Many of the troll techniques did start in Russia then moved to everywhere else. 

Twitter, Google and Face Book can manipulate reality and what information you read with their algorithms.  

All of this requires lots of money and resources and those behind Cambridge Analytica/SCL sure have it. The bots blasting out links, the websites giving you fake news about Hillary, immigrants or whatever they want. All with the aim to sway your thinking and to dominate what people are talking about and of course to drown out everyone else.  

The whole repeating a lie until it becomes truth thing. Misspoke? Nope they are just floating an idea that someone will believe and that someone will repeat and so on. In the world of customer complaints the average dissatisfied customer will tell 9-10 other people, often more. 

Most people think they are too strong or smart to be swayed, those are the people who think they can't be hypnotized and end up clucking like a chicken, those are the people that think rich elitist people can be trusted because they speak for the average person. Both Nigel Farage and Trump have been called 'the man of the people' if that's the case then the people are cunts.    

If you are online then the chances are that you've been profiled and categorized by an AI program. This is happening now.
