"Get control over radio, press, cinema and theatre," said Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister. He perfected an understanding of the "Big Lie" technique of propaganda based on the principle that a lie, if audacious enough and repeated enough times, will be believed by the masses.
Western brainwashing comes from the media. Readers, listeners and viewers need to be aware of these propaganda sources. About the media in general, Steven Salaita correctly observed:
The flippancy with which US media apply the word "terrorism" to Arab populations reinforces the notion that violence in the Arab world is ahistorical and therefore senseless. Arabs in turn become a people without narratives who belong to a culture incapable of rationality.
Steve Emerson has a website and blog with as much anti-Arab ranting on it as any bigot might produce. Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has implied that all Arabs are potential terrorists and therefore worthy of slaughter. American Israeli Caroline Glick, Deputy Managing Editor of The Jerusalem Post, writes two weekly syndicated columns preaching hard-line Israeli propaganda.
In The Progressive, Ruth Conniff validated the false but widespread notion that while violence exists among both Arabs and Israelis, terrorism is exclusive to the Arabs. When Arabs fight against Israelis, the Arabs are guilty of "terrorist violence" but the Israelis are engaging in "military reprisals".
On anti-Arab radio you hear things like "Arabs love dictators" and "Obama is an Arab," as if being an Arab disqualifies one from humanity. If they aren't referring to Arabs as "camel jockeys" or "rag heads", they're calling them as Islamo-fascists. Along with O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck give Fox news stable of anti-Arab propagandists.
Hollywood films have been vilifying Arabs for decades. Jack Shaheen revealed, in The TV Arab, how television stereotypes Arabs as "billionaires, bombers and belly dancers".
Even as a youngster, Shaheen was disturbed by the Arab stereotypes in children's cartoon characters.

You are right again Amberaa. However recall from history that the British controlled India for a long time and HongKong and Nigeria Palestine and Jordan and Egypt and in the process killed many people way back then. And we must include the Americans occupying the Philipines and Cuba. We put dictators in power in Cuba, Venezuela and Columbia and exploited their countries. We sided with United fruit in Central America. oh the dirty tricks we have played all over to rob the natives of their rights and dignity. The world has got to hate us for our nasty nature. And now Obama is just furthering the nastiness and unaccountability.

Wenis101 I couldn't have said it any better but I might add that Circumcision of females or males is religious and idiotic. As for the other offenses like honor killings andthe whole list you described is sufficient proof in my book to hold reverse executions. If any one kills someone for an honor killing that person should also be killed without trial.and the same for all other offenses. The west is interfering with sanity and logic when they try to justify the horrible sharia laws and the penalties of the religious police. It shows that the lords of finance and the government and the military and CFR etc will go to any distance to partonize genocide, murder, slaughter, vicious, cruel abusive cultures to exploit their wealth. This world should be seeking knowledge and civility and coexistent.
AmberAA.. you are correct with some exceptions. The religion of Islam is cruel and abusive and very uncivilized. It is not a religion of love, peace or compassion. If the Arabs were to give up Islam I can guanantee that there would be a different world and a different civilization and fraternization. To beat a woman for talking to a man is inhuman. The Arab could join in a free world and once segregation is abolished we would all be happy peaceful neighbors. We would have to seperate christians from the civil society to bring peace to the world. - 2 years ago

Tell me why then did they decide to end so many lives in a few hours. It wasn't because we beat them in a game of pool, or didn't invite them over to a party..... It is only because we are a free thinking and not Muslim. Islam destroys cultures. It rips out any light or free thought. My experiences from the middle east are some of the most disturbing things I have ever witnessed. I am not talking my time as a Marine. But just how they treated one another. Homosexuals beaten and killed by Sunni death squads. Women having their clits removed. Women being beaten just because they talked to a WESTERNER. Children being strapped with bombs. I just will never understand it. Can you tell me any Muslim country that is free of terrorism? Indonesia was bombed only a month ago. Why? You think this will end when the wars in middle east stop? Their is a war going internally inside of Islam itself. I hate no one. My time experiences have shown me how fragile life is. But I do hate something that takes advantage of people. Causes so much hate, sexist ideals and homophobic.

Wenis101:
It's because we go into their countries and set up deals with corrupt politicians and corporate leaders so that they can extract cheap resources in return of "aid". Then the people that set up these deals say that there is possibility to take more resources than is possible, this leaves countries giving most if not all of said resource to the partner and leaving very little for their people. So basically the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Not only that we leave them in horribly inhumane conditions to work for cheap labour to extract these resources and give them to our corporations. We create this enslavement process so that the majority of the population has to work for a company in order to make any kind of living (not to mention that said living is still below the poverty line).
These corporations allow it so that we can live in privileged society at the cost and lives of billions of people on the other side of the world. This isn't just a Muslim nation phenomena, its the US colonization of the world. Our lifestyles literally support the expansion and deaths of thousands of people. This is why they hate us. Not because we are "free", but because we don't question where we get our precious materialistic society. Muslims seem to believe we are targeting them based on their religion, but what we are really doing is targeting them as a group of people that are different than us, based on some small ideology (this is the EXACT same thing we did with communism) and desensitize our population on having compassion towards a group of people that our leaders want something from.
Islam isn't what you witnessed in the Marines, what you witnessed is a society of people that are governing themselves based on very crude and undignified rationales. This is the same with EVERY religion that has ever faced any similar set of circumstances, it's not specific to Muslims. - 2 years ago

In my opinion, the BIGGEST problem of the mainstream media and Muslims (not just the arab nations) is that the media will not report why terrorists attacks occur. The rationale seems to go as simple as, they hate the US so they want to kill anyone they can. This is simply not true, and paints the picture that all Muslims are like this. It undermines an evil that is all the way across the world. We have no power as the people to stand up and say, no this is wrong.
Muslims don't fly planes into buildings because you pray differently than them... Certain people that have messages against the system that is trying to take over their sovereignty and destroy their way of life are the people that fly planes into buildings, or decide suicide bombings will help display their message. It is not right, and it's all in vain since their message is never displayed to the world. It's also wrong that they are displayed as the poster children for Muslims, as they do not follow the religion the way the other 1.5 Billion people do.
Keeping the western world in the dark as to why there are so many in Muslim nations that are angry with them is a great way to control their thought process and convince them to support policies that are only propagating further death, destruction, and hatred towards the western world. I've seen it here on current. 70 children killed in a "mistake" air raid in Pakistan is seen as our right because there are people that preach against the US. 1 million dead in Iraq is seen as their problem because they are Muslim and decided to kill each other after our country completely destroyed and destabilized the most historically significant land in the world. Planes crash across the Atlantic and people jump to assume it was a terrorist attack. Basically it's mind control, and they are using it to keep mainstream America in the dark about the US' real intentions towards the Eastern world. - 2 years ago

Somehow I think that something like this is created just to get us off of something more important like, the billions spent wrecklessly In Iraq, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan plus all of the many other places in the world. And these other expenditures are increased debt, since we have no debt free programs anywhere. All of this debt means vast outrageoyus profits for the Federal Reserve Bank but bothing toward our healthcare, Mortgage problems, Jobs, etc. The way they are arguing about money to cover Healthcare and the blank checks they are still writing to fund the pentagon and the wars in the middle east and the far east. Over there money is in the trillions while they argue and fight for a few million here. Something just aint right on the homefront and arabic hate is not the problem. I think they are sucking up to the arabs hoping to move in without a fight, but it wont happen, it will continue to get worse. Look at Iraq today, Between the suicide bombers and the US killings, even Sadaam would have had to go a ways to kill that many people. If Brzezinski is advising Obama on the Eurasian situation then I am sure that he is quite busy creating situations to ease into the Middle eurasian nations. They must tranquilize the Eurasian Natives, meanwhile Rissia and china will be simmering because America has no business playing n their backyard.

Reminds me of 1984 - the book. "Babylon 5" season 4.
Then those people that are reporters with the phrase: The people have a right to know - are selfish, nosy bastards that are trying to use the many to get information for the ONE and their advancement not for the betterment of anyone but their own social status.

The western media has to do nothing to make them look crazy. All they need is a camera and record. Put it on-line...done. Their is just so much hate over in that part of the world. They are not all together in any struggle, but torn by tribes and small differences in beliefs.

The media is against all terrorist groups, whether it be an Arab one or not. But lately the Arab ones have been the only ones making headlines...due to the fact that they have been the only ones performing terrorist attacks

On the contrary; Al Jazeera offers another source from the mainstream media which fails to inform the People about very important things. U.S.Mainsteam media prevents the disemination of important and intelligent world and local news. Subscribers of mainstream news have been shortchanged for a hundred years. It is controlled like state of the union and news mens controlled questions.

If Aljazeera is a reason to hate Arabs, then I suppose Fox News is a reason to hate white people?

Epic. Its true the media does in fact tell us everything we can't know. So why would it be hard for us to say. "no that is false"? if current went on right now and said they had footage and real life stories of people all suffering from pigs flying out of their ears, You really honestly believe you would doubt it hearing this story every single day as you turned on you're television set ?

Organized religion is the evil; not religion in general - denominations of the same religion hate each other. Neocon propaganda is becoming another religious mantra. Now we have their robots disrupting free speech.

History and the media doesn't tell about the reason there is an Islam. Only that Arabs are less than human. The news doesn't tell how the British and the French Foreign Legion had fought the Arabs for years and exploited the arab lands. When Judaism was started, I have no idea, but the Coptics and many religions existed in Ancient Egyptian times. The five books of moses was the Judaism of history and Christianity was started by Jesus Christ or that is what is believed. Christian bible also has the Five books of Moses or the Talmud. However the modern day Christians talk only about the new Testament and only use the old testament when trying to find an excuse for adversity and abnormal public control. Islam was created as an opposition to chriistianity which looked upon Arabs a heathens, hence while jews consider all non Jews a Heathens Arabs consider all non moslems as Infidels and in both religions Heathens and Infidels are to be killed. Meaning that all of us atheists and unfit to be alive.
In this late age of civilization there is little to be considered civil. The populations are largely still illiterate and barbaric. Religions still keep the world public living in the dark ages. Hate flourishes all over the globe and governments are largely responsible for keeping the public in these self imposed mental prisons. All religions are in competions against each other and the churches repeatedly keep the public at bay with the ignorance supported by religious doctrine. The media is supporting that which the government wants them to. Religion keeps the public passive and ignorant so that anyone who doesn't believe is some religion is lacking in morals and sanity, while in fact all religions are based entirely on blind faith and lacking in any logic whatever. The root of life is supposed to be an individual entityof who we are an image of.This image is not really nan image sinnce he or it is unknowable, invisible,and omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. Now this is the description of a quantum universe, except the agregate macro universe is in total chaos. While everything in the three omni's is present in the micro or (wierd) quantum universe, and all of the laws of physics and quantum sciences are present in the universe there is no proven special supreme being present either in the macrocosm or the microcosm. Only the physical laws of the universe and the biological sciences that describes the physical properties characteristics of all life forms. All humans including all races, species, colors and nationalities including Germs, Bacteria, Common Insects and Animals and all other life forms. Only the human is the cancer on earth killing and slaughtering at will for power and greed. Religion is a destructive force in humanity. And in all cases a runaway Imperial government can be the most destructive force on any planet.
