Beaufort: Why We Must Leave Afghanistan Now, Not End 2014

On each occasion when our forces are sent into action I ask myself six simple questions concerning objective, strategy, cost and performance. Specifically, I seek to understand the aim and that said aim is properly clarified and weighed against the necessary method and resources - strategy. 1. Is the use of force, the size of the force and its method appropriate to the achievement of a just political objective? 2. Is there a clear strategy for success? 3. Are the minimum conditions for ‘success’ achievable and understood? 4. Is the use of force legitimate in the eyes of the international community and the region to which the force is being sent? 5. Is there sufficient political will and capital at home to sustain such an effort? 6. Are the resources committed sufficient to succeed?

The Farce of Government 'Growth'
Destroying YouTube
The US is the biggest empire in the world, probably ever, and its power elite is determined to rationalize the Internet Reformation right out of society.
The site already acts as an agent of Leviathan (to put it politely), removing videos that are overtly political and offensive to the power structure while increasingly going out of its way to promote adolescent fart jokes and man-in-the-moon conspiracy theories to discredit the larger alternative media. It is all too predictable and one can see the same tricks being played at Google, which not so coincidentally owns YouTube. This, too, is the way the game is played. There is NO DOUBT (none) at this point that American Intel basically runs Google – at least from a data-mining standpoint.
Google used to promote alternative Internet websites but a series of redesigns has basically recast the front page so that almost all the information displayed is from the mainstream media. The famous algorithm that YouTube uses is constantly being rejiggered as well, to the detriment of alternative news sources as well, from what we can tell.
US Intel is pretty much in bed now with social media (Facebook), with Google (the dominant search engine) and YouTube (the video/TV facility of the present and future).
By identifying the proper technology and investing early, US Intel makes itself an invaluable partner in these facilities. Then the spooks sit back and let the "magic" of the market work. The actual propaganda is fairly minimal. Most sophisticated propaganda involves leaving things out. Faking news and information is a good deal more difficult and prone to "blowback" (see global warming).
When one speaks of a "commercial" product for US markets, one is speaking of an entertainment that is resolutely apolitical and does not deal with unpleasantness like the US's serial wars or its terrible (and exploitative) financial system and resultant hopeless poverty.
One is not supposed to mention there are apparently great families located in the City of London that dominate and control trillion-dollar central banks. One is not supposed to intimate that there is a larger plan to institute world government, though the basics of world government – the UN, the IMF and NATO – have all been put in place already.

Pack your little Analog TV Transmitter up & take it on the road as a roving Pirate TV station broadcasting just a few hours at a location before moving on, absolutely no Censorship!

It's easy (there are even "Instructables" on how to do it) & there are literally hundreds of "Conspiracy Documentaries" on the net to download, burn to disc or copy to tape & broadcast.
