Report: The British Government and the Media Orchestrate a Fake Campaign of Support for Islam After Every New Jihadist Terrorist Attack

The British government has a plan for propagandizing the public every time there's a fresh jihadist terrorist attack into repeating the claim that the worst thing about any Islamic attack is "backlash" against Islam. That plan is "controlled spontaneity."

Friends of mine say the source here -- "The Middle East Eye" -- isn't very trustworthy. But they think the general article is probably accurate.

The British government has prepared for terrorist incidents by pre-planning social media campaigns which are designed to appear to be a spontaneous public response to attacks, Middle East Eye has learned.
Hashtags are carefully tested before attacks happen, Instagram images selected, and "impromptu" street posters are printed.
In operations that contingency planners term "controlled spontaneity", politicians' statements, vigils and inter-faith events are also negotiated and planned in readiness for any terrorist attack.
"
The campaigns have been deployed during every UK terrorist incident in recent years, including the London Bridge attack in June 2017 and the Finsbury Park mosque attack that took place two weeks later.
Within hours of an incident, campaigns are swiftly organised, with I "heart" posters designed and distributed according to the location of the attack. Plans are also drawn up for people to hand out flowers at the scene of the crime, in apparently unprompted gestures of love and support.
The purpose of the operations, according to a number of people involved in their creation who spoke to MEE, is to shape public responses, encouraging individuals to focus on empathy for the victims and a sense of unity with strangers, rather than reacting with violence and anger.
Many of the operations are said to be modelled on extensive plans that were drawn up to channel public anger in the event of any attack at the 2012 London Olympics.
Some strategies had been devised in 2011, when social media platforms were aiding communication between protesters during the Arab Spring -- and when a series of riots were erupting across English towns and cities that summer.

As a friend of mine always says: The intelligence communities are now just staging one "color revolution" after another in their own countries, to bring about worldwide socialism.

And to make pedophilia acceptable.

One senior figure involved in that contingency planning told MEE that the riots "absolutely terrified" the British government, and that Theresa May, who was then home secretary and is now prime minister, had been particularly shaken.
The measures drawn up in advance of the Olympics were intended to "corral the Princess Dianaesque grief" that was expected to emerge after any mass-casualty attack - a reference to the public mourning that followed the death of the royal in a car crash in 1997. This person describes those measures candidly as an attempt at "mind control".
Although there was no terrorist incident at the 2012 Olympics, variants of the plan are said to have been deployed in the wake of every attack in the UK since then.

"The point I noticed change was the Olympics," said one veteran contingency planner in the UK. "The management of the secret, hidden emergency planning work behind the Olympics became the social control that we would fall back on if we had any terrorist attack, or if we had any disruption. It's: 'This is the hashtag we go to'. And we've never come back from those days.
"This job has changed significantly from planning for organic, people responses to tragedy, to being told: 'We would like the people to do that, how do you get them there?'"
"A lot of the public's responses are spontaneous, of course. But a lot are shaped. The [British] government doesn't want spontaneity: it wants controlled spontaneity."

The article goes on to detail specific "controlled spontaneity" propaganda events, including:

* a media campaign that was swiftly deployed after British and American aid workers were beheaded by Islamic State militants in 2014.
* the use of hashtags, posters and vigils after the London Bridge attacks of June 2017, in which eight people were murdered and almost 50 injured.
* a Twitter, Facebook and mainstream media campaign that was employed later that month, shortly after a man drove his van into a group of people outside a mosque in north London, killing one person and injuring 10 others.

I don't suppose many of you are shocked by any of these revelations.

I'm sure nothing like that is going on here in America. America's "intelligence" services aren't allowed to run propaganda campaigns against the American population.

Oh wait, Obama changed that law. He claimed that US intelligence agencies just wanted to broadcast baseball games to Cuba and these signals could be picked up by Americans, so, rather than just making an exception for that corner-case, he decided to repeal the law against propagandizing the American public altogether.

I'm sure our intelligence agencies did not immediately begin using every dirty trick of influence and mind control they'd previously practiced on foreigners.

From an article from 2007: https://is.gd/2BlBVp
This snippet should cast some light:

I seldom heard a newscast in Vietnam, but what I did hear, and what my wife's letters related that she was hearing and reading "back in the world" as we called the United States, bore little resemblance to the reality that I saw. Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America," lost all credibility when he stopped reporting the news in Vietnam and started editorializing with his own dovish opinions, still using his trademark sign-off, "And that's the way it is."

The VA still has a mask mandate in effect for certain buildings but hardly anyone is wearing masks. I had an audiology appointment last week and was informed by text message that all covid protocols were in effect and everyone going into any building that conducted patient treatment had to wear a mask.

I walked into the main building and the big stop sign and desk were still there since day one of covid saying masks were required and your temperature had to be taken for admittance. No one was there and I just walked by and went to my appointment sans mask. I only saw one person wearing a mask the entire time I was there.

There is a real general decline in competence which is a product of the decline in the education system at all levels. Between this and the age/demographic issue, it won't be possible to maintain existing infrastructure at current levels. This will get worse over time until there's a massive overhaul in the systems we use to train/educate people.

Think of it like losing the ability to make new aqueducts or in-door plumbing with the end of the Roman empire. The engineers didn't die all at once, they kind of faded away with fewer and fewer available to do projects or maintain things.

A while back, some dude in his Ford Explorer entered into an intersection where he and his passenger were injured by not killed when a truck T-boned them.

Though not suicidal, he was asked if he saw the truck, when affirmed the driver was asked, why didn't you try to avoid getting hit and the driver just said he didn't care.

He was on anti-anxiety drugs, and apparently he wasn't bothered about getting nearly killed by a truck.

Ramp ops are an exercise in rapid problem solving, and God knows the kids may get flustered but they evidently feel great about themselves while doing it.

Kind of like my feelings on being in social environments when I am not getting paid to do so.

I am planning on being a hermit, because I am not humoring the nuts a minute I do not have to.

153 There is a real general decline in competence which is a product of the decline in the education system at all levels. Between this and the age/demographic issue, it won't be possible to maintain existing infrastructure at current levels. This will get worse over time until there's a massive overhaul in the systems we use to train/educate people.

Think of it like losing the ability to make new aqueducts or in-door plumbing with the end of the Roman empire. The engineers didn't die all at once, they kind of faded away with fewer and fewer available to do projects or maintain things.

156 Perhaps more directly relevant was the CIA helping assassinate the President of South Vietnam(our guy) in a coup. Although the claim is his death was an accident(though the coup intentional) making it even more comical.

The cia conducted dozens if not hundreds of political assassinations in South East Asia during the war. They operated freely in countries that we were not at war with and had pretty much carte blanche to do whatever they (and the IC) wanted them to do. they answered to no one just like today.

157 Interesting timing. The House Committee on the Judiciary just put out a report of the weaponization of CISA to censor Americans.

If you remember after the 2020 election the head of CISA said to Congress that the 2020 election was the most secure election in history.

158 I have long assumed most the the Dem/LIV base is already so brainwashed and eager to conform that it does not need urging or controlled spontaneity to display their stupid, coexist, America's fault mentality after a terrorist attack.
