Death
of Nick Berg: Bush-Cheney-Pentagon PsyOps?

Who's responsible
for dumping Nick Berg, an unarmed American Jew, wearing an orange jumpsuit
(with a Star of David scrawled on his back)in the middle of hostile Arab
territory?
The Soviets used to call it disinformatsiya. The Pentagon
calls it PsyOps, or "psychological operations." It has been effectively
used to divert attention from the Abu Ghraib prison scandal of Americans
torturing Iraqi civilians, 90% of whom were "arrested by mistake,"
according to a recent Red Cross report.
This Psychological Operation is aimed at the American
Public as Faux News and other channels of disinformation propagate the images
of the beheading of Nick Berg to their own advantage.
Bush-Cheney has gotten its sacrificial victim -- an
expendable Jew. His father,Michael Berg, even dared complain about the unconstitutional
USA Patriot Act. Worse yet, he even dared to sue the US Government for the
release of his son, arrested and held in Iraq for 13 days. No charges were
filed against the late Nick Berg.
The decapitation of Nick Berg was fodder for the
Bush propaganda-meisters of the radio like Michael Weiner, whose radio stage
name is Michael Savage.
This elegant Pentagon PsyOps got the American booboisie
once again focused on the co-called bad guys, al-Qaeda, even though the
"terrorists" who did the dirty deed have been pronounced dead
for many months. Like Orwell's 1984, the rabble has one again been fixated
on "The Enemy."
Compared to the beheading of the hapless Berg -- what's
a little torture by US occupation troops?
Berg's death gave Bush-Cheney a chance to say how
much they deplored the atrocity -- a grand theatrical gesture for the mindless.
Bush said, "The actions of the terrorists who
executed this man remind us of the nature of the few people who want to
stop the advance of freedom in Iraq. Their intention is to shake our will.
Their intention is to shake our confidence. Yet, by their actions, they
remind us of how desperately parts of the world need free societies and
peaceful societies. And we will complete our mission."
It was nothing less than brilliant Bush-Cheney-Pentagon
PsyOps for the Global Theater.
What's a little rape and torture from that perspective?
However the Pentagon PsyOps meisters have got to be
wondering now.
How long will this Berg distraction last?
