Disinformation Propaganda and Spin
“Not only do I think the video was taken out of context, there is nobody in that video that said I did anything with money,” Sharpton said [in response to James O'Keefe investigative film].
The sea turning red is obviously “FX”, Lambert agreed, with special computer effects used. … The directors of the video used animation and “rotoscoping” to use the six figures like a rubber stamp in the marching sequence and also in the kneeling sequence.
They're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.
A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.
Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to — and in some cases greater than — the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups…
Emphasis added.
State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who couldn’t even communicate with herself about her own scripted comments, has been named Barack Obama’s White House communications director, starting April 1. Obama released a statement trumpeting his appointment, according to Reuters, saying, "Jen worked on both my campaigns, she's served in the White House and she's traveled the world as an advisor to Secretary (John) Kerry. I fully trust Jen - and I am thrilled she's agreed to come back to the White House.

Obama, at White House Summit on Countering Extremism and Radicalization: “If we’re going to prevent people from being susceptible to the false promises of extremism, than the international community has to offer something better. The United States intends to do its part. We will keep promoting development and growth that is broadly shared so more people can provide for their families. We’ll keep leading a global effort against corruption because the culture of the bribe had to be replaced by good governance that doesn’t favor certain groups over others. Countries have to truly invest in the education and skills and job training that our extraordinary young people need. By the way, that’s boys and girls and men and women because countries will not be truly successful if half their populations are denied opportunity.”
Harf harf harf!
…Algorithms designed by Yahoo wiz kids make sure that at least twenty-five percent of the headlines I see are positive stories about same-sex marriage… Interestingly, I had read the previous weekend about the revelation of a clandestine experiment that Facebook conducted on its subscribers. … That got me wondering: aren't judges people too? Aren't they subject to emotional contagion as easily as the rest of us mortals? …
"Obviously, I claim credit for it, but, actually, the reason why he won was that he had a really excellent get-out-the-vote campaign," McCain told The Arizona Republic. "There are some people who are complaining that African-American voters voted. I thought one of the major priorities of the Republican Party was to get all minority and ethnic voters out to vote for Republicans." [This lying, brainwashed Manchurian DIABLO needs to put a cork in it for good. "Complaining that African-American voters voted" is a lie worthy of his being struck by lightning. He is pure evil, and I rue the day I ever voted "for" him (really, truly, purely against the other guy).]
We now know that’s exactly what happened two years ago. For one week in January 2012, data scientists skewed what almost 700,000 Facebook users saw when they logged into its service. Some people were shown content with a preponderance of happy and positive words; some were shown content analyzed as sadder than average. And when the week was over, these manipulated users were more likely to post either especially positive or negative words themselves.
This tinkering was just revealed as part of a new study, published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Many previous studies have used Facebook data to examine “emotional contagion,” as this one did. This study is different because, while other studies have observed Facebook user data, this one set out to manipulate it.
"But sometimes, the news that's coming off is just — these are just Washington fights. They're fabricated issues, they're phony scandals that are generated. It's all geared towards the next election or ginning up a base. It's not on the level." [Says the expert.]
U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend… Ahmed Abu Khattala… captured Sunday near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI… apprehension is a major victory for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for having failed so far to bring those responsible for the Benghazi attacks to justice. [A major victory? For someone the New York Times was able to track down? This of course is not something which could have been done anytime in the past two years, and is only being done now because everything else in Obama's foreign policy is major fail? No, not at all.]
[As] Good Morning America's Linzie Janis… reported on Brendan Eich… video footage of Westboro Baptist protesters with "God hates fags" and "soldiers die 4 fag marriage" signs appeared on-screen…. On the December 07, 2012 World News, ABC reporter Terry Moran used the same hateful Westboro Baptist footage for a story on the Supreme Court ruling over gay marriage.
Where is the Benghazi media feeding frenzy? I don’t think there’s a conspiracy at work. Rather, I think journalists tend to act on their instincts. And, collectively, the mainstream media’s instincts run liberal. … “Meet the Press” host David Gregory shushed a guest who tried to bring up the subject, saying, “Let’s get to Libya a little bit later.” He never did…. [Yes, Jonah. That's what we mean by conspiracy at work.]
“If you let the Republicans do this to you again, after we die, we are going to look down on you from Heaven and we’re going to make a point of watching you have sex, every time,” John says. “No matter how kinky.” “Especially if we are related,” adds Marie. [Not just filthy. Also horrifyingly stupid.]
Senator Reid’s office claimed Governor Romney’s staff told the Boston Globe he “would not honor exemptions” President Obama granted under his new non-deportation policy.
Instead, the staff said “he would honor deportation exemptions issued by the Obama administration before his inauguration.”
The Washington Times tried to reach out to Senator Reid’s office but haven’t received an answer. The release online still contains the phrase but got rid of the quotation marks around it.
Blitzer read portions of a letter sent by House Oversight Committee members Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to Sec. Hillary Clinton in which they reveal their knowledge that the mission in Libya made repeated requests for increased security after having come under attack several times in recent months. They say that those resources were withheld by Washington.
“It’s also important to note that the Republican appropriation Congress gave the administration $300 million less than it asked for for the State Department, including funding for security,” said Pelosi.
“Are you suggesting that there was a financial aspect to what happened in Benghazi, Libya,” Blitzer asked. “That the U.S. was not enough money to protect American diplomats?”
Naturally, there are the inevitable come-backs from "Mom."

Once again, the Democrat propaganda network known as MSNBC has been caught editing video to slander Mitt Romney. This morning on Morning Joe, co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough featured a video of a rally with Romney and running mate Paul Ryan in Dayton, OH. The crowd chanted "Romney! Romney!" but MSNBC added a caption to make it seem that the crowd was chanting "Ryan! Ryan!" and rejecting Romney.
The hoax was busted by a caller to the Pat and Stu Show at The Blaze, who had actually been at the rally and who told the hosts that Romney had not been--as MSNBC suggested--reminded the crowd that he was the candidate, but instead reminding them to include Ryan in their chant. "He stopped us to add, 'Romney-Ryan,' and if you watch the clip again, Ryan throws up his hand like, 'Oh, you don't have to add me to the chant.'"
The hosts, initially skeptical, were convinced when they viewed the tape again. The caller's account is confirmed by the raw C-SPAN video of the event, which did not include MSNBC's misleading caption. …
UPDATE III — When asked about the video, “Morning Joe” spokeswoman Lauren Skowronski emailed BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins the following statement:
This story is an attempt to generate a false controversy. The tape clip was untouched and was played as it was recorded. The panel was responding to Romney’s playful response and having fun with it. Joe and the gang apologize for making people laugh in the morning. [How liars 'apologize.']
…the implications here are staggering. If this film was indeed produced by Islamic hucksters, and Shoebat makes a very good case that it was — what does that make the Obama administration, who so enthusiastically jumped on the anti anti-Mohammed film bandwagon, and stayed on, even as the narrative fell apart?
"If you were to somehow beat the first African-American president, what would you say to the black community to assure them that you would be their president also?"
The first thing that should grab your eye is the word "somehow."
Somehow?
There is not really any free press anymore, but instead a Ministry of Truth, in which PBS, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Newsweek, Time, AP, McClatchy, and Reuters are de facto extensions of the Obama campaign — far more highbrow and adept in disguising their partisanship than an overt Hannity or Limbaugh. Their “journalists” are fed favorable administration leaks when in the old days they had to sue to publish a hit piece. They care little whether ambassadors are left unguarded, or that the U.S. suffers the most costly attack on its air assets since Vietnam, or that administration officials offer lies about Libya that they know cannot be true.Some co
There is a gap in the recording immediately after Romney’s now famous discussion of the 47% of voters who don’t pay taxes. The cut in the audio and video comes while Romney is in mid-sentence, so we actually do not have the full audio of what Romney said on the subject.
The next audio/video (Part 2) picks up with Romney talking about China.

Don’t you just love how foolish moonbats reveal that they are daily?
Spoke with one yesterday – he was talking about some acquaintance of his who is so damn smart. This person bought a Volt and now gets 100+ miles per gallon… hardly spends anything on gas!
I asked him about the electric bill increase since buying the car… NO COMMENT!
But he saves a bunch on gas!
It is our conclusion that both the victim and the aggressor in this confrontation were Democrat actors putting on a sham conflict put on right in front of the TV cameras to distract from Governor Pawlenty’s message and to portray us in a bad light.
