Most Embarrassing Piece
Of Propaganda Ever?
From Hsing Lee
9-12-6


Thought I'd pass this one on to you to share with your readers/viewers/audience...

It's the most embarrasingly bad piece of propaganda I've seen since the 250 lb Osama they tried to pawn off in late 2001.

Supposedly, it's "live" video of an attack on a 911 memorial service in Afghanistan, on CNN.

Quite literally on cue, all the troops rush off screen and man their battlements. And then they cut to the troops firing at an unseen enemy.

We're supposed to believe that the Taliban was good enough to allow Cooper the time to give his set up on live TV before they started firing, and we're also supposed to believe that CNN just happened to have cameras perfectly positioned and ready to record the American soldiers firing those bigass guns at an enemy that we never get to actually see. We're supposed to ignore that Anderson Cooper is a NOC agent, and that Walter Isaacson knew Cooper was CIA and hired him anyway.

They don't even care how transparent their bullshit is anymore. They're that desperate.

Peace

i used to have respect for anderson cooper. the emotion that he conveyed during his hurricane katrina coverage appeared genuine and sincere. i even shrugged of his short stint at the cia training academy as irrelevent to his integrity. now, i'm not so sure about anderson cooper and his questionable ethics.

I actually thought the same thing Q

considering if the enemy was watching from their location....a mass of men would be an excellent target

Hey, propaganda doesn't have to be fake.

yeah, i can't tell either way whether or not that's genuine. and it kind of would make sense for the enemy to wait until cameras were rolling to attack (although how on earth they'd be able to tell, i wouldn't know); for the terrorists, dead americans are good, but americans getting killed live on TV are even better (were they americans? again, i couldn't tell).

i'm suspending judgment

I did everything I could to not press the link, knowing I would have to become embroiled in this brouhaha of propaganda proportions, yet here I am (weak willed).

If we could begin to understand the muslim world on a more complex level I think we could begin to realize peace.

Peace out brothers and sisters, tune in (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Hc11RGzig) with the arab world so we can live in harmony. :)

Nah, that's looks much more coincidental than anything.

And it doesn't even look ideally framed if it were actually staged. I couldn't tell where the firing was coming from.

You'll need more than an opinion piece.
