I know. That has nothing to do with the 1977 comic revival and especially the 1982 movie during the remilitarizing Reagan years of pop-uber men ala 'The Six Million Dollar Man' which led to Governor Reagan being followed by Governor Barbarian, does it?
Have you ever taken a Basic Linguistics test, HMW? I have. There isn't a professor of linguistics in the world who would accept "Buddwing" as phonemically identical to "Bolschwing." The first syllables aren't even similar.
I wrote that this wasn't identical but it appears that those assigned the task did the best they could with the keywords available. This field of linguistic and cognitive behavior in pop culture is long been spook territory yet you inflate every imperfection in psy-ops to a reason that it must not even be done. That's irrational.
I've researched and profiled the type of people who would be doing the same thing to the masses to get verbal and pictographic handles on them. Be serious if you want to voice an opinion on this. Don't dabble. I don't.
They even get cocky and include inside jokes in their propaganda. Makes sense.
One thing really gets me, though- the posters who are actually impressed by HMW on account of the information that he brings up. Evidently, they've never heard any of it before.
True. But they know their movies and TV, don't they? Think the spooks know this, too?
Much of it is valid- and little-known. Especially in the 1960s ( although HMW persists in hinting that the material was so dangerously beckoning of public notice that it required a covert media smokescreen that approached the scope of the hoaxing depicted in the 1990s film "The Truman Show"...uh-oh, "Truman"...I just said another one...)
The beaurocratic mandate to produce counterpropaganda against hostile information has its own organizational inertia. Whistleblowers from inside CIA have said this time and time again. "You are paid to Do Things. Get cracking if you want a career."
Lt. Col. L. Fletcher Prouty was the Pentagon's liason with CIA from 1955-1964 and he wrote in 'The Secret Team' that comparmentalization and poor planning created disaster all the time.
So don't works backwards from the idea that either psy-ops works well or it isn't done.
It's too bad you have to hear so much warped nonsense along with the content provision.
Content- good.
What "'warped nonsense?" Be specific.
You don't have to trust me, but in my opinion you newbies will get much the same content without having to contend with the unique interpretive abilities of Professor HMW by doing your own research.
I'm opening doors to history of covert ops and psy-ops research and giving sources and big picture motivations of power that are master keys to research. Sorry if that bothers you, rdr.
Dave Emory has some interpretations of his own, of course, and it's up to you to accept or challenge them. But you won't find him feeding you page after page of stem-winding nonsense in a vainglorious authorial Voice Of Final Judgement, like HMW.
Emory and Hopsicker are badly compromised according to Alex Constantine whose research I trust.
