10/2:CIA-Disney, Brad Will, '68 Mexican massacre, LHOswald

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

(Millions of dollars plus weapons from the US to Mexico, the Merida Initiative or 'Plan Mexico' resembling the same deal with Columbia, is supposed to be contingent on human rights performance and PR pressure to 'do something' about the Brad Will case. He was killed by Mexican government goons.
So a patsy was framed up for Brad Will's murder. And other crimes are being ignored. Senator Dodd got caught by protestors for his eliminating any human rights benchmarks so he could sell helicopters from his state.
That's why CIA-Disney put out a silly Mexico-themed film as a decoy.
If you don't know that Disney is the US government, time to catch up.)

US Releases $90 million in Plan Mexico Military Hardware
Posted by Kristin Bricker - November 19, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Sources within the US Congress have confirmed to Narco News that the US government has released approximately USD$90 million of the $116.5 million in foreign military financing (FMF) under Plan Mexico, also known as the Merida Initiative or Plan Merida. The $90 million comprises approximately 77% of Mexico's total FMF allotment under Plan Mexico in 2008.

The US Congress authorized the release of up to 85%, or $99 million, of 2008 FMF funds pending a report from the Secretary of State on Mexico's compliance with the human rights conditions laid out in Plan Mexico. However, congressional sources state that Mexico has not yet met the human rights conditions, so the State Department has not submitted the report.
.....
This is the first year in recent memory that Mexico will receive FMF funds from the United States. Up until now, Mexico was cut off from receiving US military assistance because it is a party to the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC). Under US law, countries who are parties to the Rome Statute can only receive US military aid if they enter into an Article 98 agreement in which they promise to not prosecute US citizens in the ICC. Mexico has not entered into an Article 98 agreement, but the law banning parties to the Rome Statute contains a loophole: the president can waive the law, allowing the country to receive FMF, if he deems it to be in the US' "national interest."

Mexican Government Tries to Pin New Charges on Juan Martinez in Brad Will Case
Posted by Kristin Bricker - November 26, 2008 at 9:01 pm

The government likely knows that murder charges won’t stick in a fair trial, so it hopes to imprison Martinez for firearms possession

Oaxacan newspaper Quadratín reports that the Federal Attorney General’s Office (PGR in its Spanish initials) has opened a new criminal investigation against Juan Manuel Martinez Moreno in the Brad Will murder case. Martinez is the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) activist that the Mexican government has charged with murdering Will on October 27, 2006, as he filmed clashes between APPO supporters and paramilitaries affiliated with the Institutional Revolution Party (PRI).
.....
The government’s case against Martinez and the other eight accused men is not likely to hold water—if the men receive fair and impartial trials, that is. Will’s family and friends, Physicians for Human Rights, Reporters Without Borders, and the Mexican government’s own National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) have contradicted or outright denounced the PGR’s theory that APPO supporters shot Will at close range. All of them claim that all evidence points to a long-range shot, quite possibly shot by local police and local and state government officials.
.....
Plan Mexico
At least 19 other people were killed during the 2006 uprising in Oaxaca. The government has not made arrests in any of these other cases. In late October, the head of the CNDH, José Luis Soberanes Fernández, stated his opinion on why that is the case: "It's said that they weren't going to give them [the Mexican government] the Merida Initiative resources if they didn't resolve this case, and therefore they had to clear it up at any cost, and now we see the results." The Merida Initiative, also known as Plan Mexico, is a multi-year military and police aid package from the US government. It is worth well over a billion dollars. An explanatory statement accompanying the law that authorized 2008 Plan Mexico funds required the US State Department to submit a report to Congress "detailing progress in conducting a thorough, credible, and transparent investigation to identify the perpetrators" of Will's murder. It also called for the State Department to work with the Mexican government to assist in the investigation of the case.
Prior to Plan Mexico, it seemed as though the Mexican government was going to allow the Will case to go unresolved just like the other 19 cases. Soberanes pointed out that the federal government dragged its feet for two years investigating the Will case. Then, suddenly, "in 15 days they resolve the case."
......
Under significant pressure to resolve the case, the PGR needed to make arrests. It was faced with a choice: arrest the police officers government officials shown in photographs and videos shooting at Will around the time of his death, or blame someone else. Given that a bulk of the pressure came attached Plan Mexico--which includes armament and training for police--arresting police officers and government officials for the murder of a US journalist was not likely to grease the way for Plan Mexico funds. So the PGR arrested the witnesses.

"I Didn't Kill Brad Will": An Interview with Juan Manuel Martinez
Posted by Kristin Bricker - November 27, 2008 at 1:46 am
by Diego Enrique Osorno, Milenio
translation by Kristin Bricker

The man who supposedly murdered the US videographer agrees that he participated in the APPO protests, but he maintains that he never met the journalist.

"I didn't kill Brad Will," says Juan Manuel Martinez, the young man the Federal Attorney General's Office officially accused three weeks ago of allegedly murdering the US Indymedia videographer.

"It doesn't matter how much they pressure me; I'll never agree to the lie that they want me to agree to. I never even had the privilege of meeting him (Brad) and I wasn't even in the place where they killed him," he reiterates from the Santa Maria Ixcotel Penitentiary in Oaxaca where he awaits the final evaluation of his case by Rosa Iliana Noriega, 5th district judge.

"God willing, the judge won't be biased, as often happens in Oaxaca, because the government orders them to be," stressed Martinez.

Why Plan Mexico will Crash and Burn
Posted by Kristin Bricker - December 10, 2008 at 9:49 pm

Rampant corruption on both sides of the border exacerbate the ineffectiveness of an already failed strategy
Plan Mexico, the US military and police aid package to the Mexican government, is based on a failed “war on drugs” model. This model prioritizes criminalizing the drug trade at the expense of focusing on the harmful effects of drug abuse and addiction as a public health problem. The result has been a blood-soaked disaster.
......
Plan Mexico, officially known as the Merida Initiative, has a number of striking similarities to Plan Colombia. So far, the US has sunk nearly $5 billion in US personnel, armament, aid, pesticides, and training to Colombia’s military and police in order to continue the drug war in that country. The results: Plan Colombia has exacerbated violence in the region, has been implicated in massacres of indigenous communities in resistance, and has failed to meet its own benchmarks.
.....
Five Reasons Plan Mexico Will Crash and Burn

Despite the drug war model’s documented history of death, destruction, and miserable failure, some believe that it can work in Mexico, or at the very least be a Trojan horse for improving human rights and the rule of law. So, for those who believe that Mexico can be the exception to the rule, Narco News presents Five Reasons Plan Mexico Will Crash and Burn.

Three Men and a Baby vs. Senator Dodd and WOLA
Friends of Brad Will cuts through the human rights smokescreen that surrounds the Merida Initiative, aka Plan Mexico.

[Nordic]

You know, Hugh, I've had four screenplays made into movies, and not once did the CIA, or anybody else associated with them, come to me and tell me what to put in the movie.

One of my best friends is a screenwriter far more successful than I, and he hasn't had anyone from the CIA tell him what to put in his screenplays either.

I mean, sometimes they want a happy ending, a happier ending, or a dog, or they want to make a character different, but the CIA?

Of course, when you're a paranoid schizophrenic like Hugh, facts don't matter. He will probably accuse me of being an asset of the CIA and a disinfo agent, or some such nonsense. There are always closed-loop mental thinking with people like this.

I once met a woman who was also a paranoid schizophrenic who believed, urgently, that Men in Black were following her around and involving her in a nefarious plot to do ... something, I never was quite sure. Anyway, she said that one day she saw a big UFO right over her car. I was open-minded about this woman's story, but as she went on and on I had the realization that she was either 100% right, in which case we were all victims of an inter-stellar alien invasion, or she was 100% wrong and was a paranoid schizophrenic.

Upon hearing about the UFO over her car, I asked if anyone else had seen it. Her daughter had! Well, a witness to corroborate! Cool! So I asked her what her daughter thought of it, and she said "she doesn't remember it. They erased her memory of it".

Oh, right. Of course.

So what am I, Hugh?

And why doesn't your head explode over Barak/Barack? Or Obama/Osama?

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Disney is one of the MOST OBVIOUS US psyops orgs since atleast 1939!!!!!!
You really haven't done any homework on the topic.

And your ad hominem crap discredits you even more.

You know, Hugh, I've had four screenplays made into movies, and not once did the CIA, or anybody else associated with them, come to me and tell me what to put in the movie.

Wow. Four.
Gee, that's the sum total experience of all Hollywood history!
not.

One of my best friends is a screenwriter far more successful than I, and he hasn't had anyone from the CIA tell him what to put in his screenplays either.

So what? (And how would you know? Enh? lol.)
There's plenty of just plain old filler between the heavy psyops stuff to keep people watching and bucks rolling in.

So thanks for adding your experience BUT
for you to present this as DEFINITIVE and why I'm 'a kook' only exposes your inability to do the most basic reasoning and research. Perhaps because you take the industry for granted and as just being 'like you,' a case of projection and, of course, a vested interest in not wanting to believe you are just feeding fascism with your polished and entertaining lies (screenplays).

I have. Because facts matter.
You? Seems not.

Meaning fictional entertainment (and loaded with psyops) has displaced facts in American culture. We are drowning in it.

Please don't make a case for the value of fiction.
Water is necessary to life but drowning is about proportionality vs survival, too much of a good thing.

Cultural engagement is very human BUT way too many intellectuals are spending their time trying to make a buck amusing people or doing self-therapy, not taking on fascism.

Hugh, we are not yet done with our 'engagement'. (Other thread)

Come-on baby, eat my bandwidth.

I look forward to your posts. (You've picked up on my bandwith concerns, I see.)

Your second 'poison pill' comment was way out of context and seemed like a vicious attack.
After reading your subsequent posts and some older ones I didn't respond to, I have a much better sense of your views.

Since we both abhor Deepak Chopra and 'The Celestine Prophecy,' I'm sure we can find some other grounds for mutual understanding.

[Aeolus Kephas]

Hugh, we are not yet done with our 'engagement'. (Other thread)

I second that, Hugh. Come on back and meet the challenge! ; )

As for taking on fascism vs self-therapy - i fail to see the distinction. All so-called altruistic motives relate to ways for attaining personal peace of mind. (As the song goes, whatever gets you through the night...)

Activism is just the flip-side of reactionaryism anyhow. Whatever you resist grows stronger. There are bigger fish to fry than global totalitarianism, believe it or not... (I suspect that's a "not")?

Mexico’s fake RCMP report backfires
By Scott Campbell
Online Journal Contributing Writer

Aug 7, 2009

It’s been a busy and interesting week regarding developments in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the U.S.

First, there was the report in the Mexican media on July 29 that an investigation by officials from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police into the murder of U.S. independent journalist Brad Will affirmed the conclusions drawn by the Mexican Federal Attorney General’s Office (PGR) regarding his death. The PGR, contrary to all available evidence, claims Will, shot in Oaxaca in 2006, was killed at close range by an anti-government protester.

The media reports raised more questions than they answered. For example, why was the RCMP investigating this, and why, as evident from the reports, did they carry out such a clearly laughable investigation?

These questions and more were answered when Brad Will’s family released a statement soundly debunking the so-called RCMP report. As it turns out, there was no official RCMP investigation. It was merely three retired RCMP officers who did an “investigation” which the Mexican government then presented to the media as an official RCMP report.

Wednesday, Physicians for Human Rights -- a group that actually did investigate Brad’s murder -- issued a press release that similarly called into question the veracity of the ex-RCMPers’ report. James Stephen, Phil Ziegler and Gary Buerk certainly have some serious rebutting to do if they don’t want to be tarnished as integrity-free hacks-for-hire. Although I’m sure there’s always a market for those types.

The conclusions of another “investigation” regarding Oaxaca were released Tuesday by Mexico’s Supreme Court. They took it upon themselves to investigate the actions of the state and federal governments who brutally repressed the 2006 uprising. Unsurprisingly, the Supreme Court found the use of force -- which left 27 dead and hundreds injured, arrested and tortured -- to be legitimate. This is the same court which found the murders and mass rapes by police that occurred in Atenco in 2006 to also be unworthy of investigating.

But one question remains -- why all these reports stating how the Mexican state is not at fault for the atrocities of 2006 in Oaxaca? The answer can be found in Plan Mexico, aka the Merida Initiative. The three-year, $1.4 billion aid (mostly military) package to Mexico and Central America has a human rights requirement for Mexico. Yearly, the U.S. State Department must certify Mexico’s respect for human rights and the Congress must approve that certification. If that doesn’t happen, then Mexico loses 15 percent of the Plan Mexico funds. Of course, Mexico gets the other 85 percent no matter how many people it tortures and kills, but it could do it much more effectively if it got 100 percent of the funds.

Also, later this month both Secretary of State Clinton and President Obama are to visit Mexico to see how the U.S.’s hegemonic efforts under the tutelage of Felipe Calderon are holding up.

The family of Juan Manuel Martinez Moreno -- the Oaxacan social activist being framed by Mexico for the murder of Brad Will -- is requesting an audience with Obama in Mexico City. The Mexican government would, of course, rather avoid this and any other scrutiny of its human rights record, while at the same time receiving all the Plan Mexico funds. So the timing of the non-RCMP and Supreme Court reports saying that everything is fine in Oaxaca is no surprise.

However, it appears that their efforts have all been for naught. For while Clinton’s State Dept. dutifully certified Mexico’s human rights record this week, even though human rights complaints have risen 600 percent under Calderon’s regime, Senator Leahy on Wednesday blocked the certification from being voted upon in the Senate, basically saying he doesn’t believe the State Dept. Maybe Amnesty International got to him. This means that, at least for the time being, the Mexican government will only have 85 percent of the Plan Mexico funds at its disposal to deploy against the social movements demanding justice and an end to impunity. Which, given that Plan Mexico shouldn’t exist at all, is still appallingly too much.

What a surprise that never happened.

"Every single aspect of every single movie is planned and controlled by the CIA down to the fine detail of poster design and dvd store shelf stacking. Anyone involved at any level can safely be assumed to be directly working for the CIA or is a witless immoral dupe taking instructions from them."

* IS CONFRONTED BY SPECIFIC EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY *

"Oh uh as I've been saying all along, the CIA just kind of... wait for years for a movie that happens to vaguely contain the right names/ideas to come along and then uuhhh somehow uhh... just influence people to make very specific and arbitary changes from the top down without actually being overtly involved... and nobody notices the influence at all. I DON'T KNOW HOW, THEY JUST DO OK? IT'S SOOOO OBVIOUS "

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

CIA-Disney also fictionalized the Atenca revolt in Mexico as-
'The Emperor's New Groove' and 'Kronk's New Groove.'

See 'Nacho Libre.'
Same thing for the leader of the Atenca 'machete movement,' Nacho Del Valle.
Oh, and that machete decoy is on it's way, too-


Or 'G-Force' meme-reversing the soldiers used as chemical-testing guinea pigs by the Pentagon who filed a lawsuit this year.

It is disgustingly obvious. Except to trolls those and those who don't check it out for themselves.

Psyops is also called Strategic Culture and uses mundane advertising/marketing strategies to achieve carefully timed visibility to targeted demographics, just like Cheetos or Viagra.

It is a mil-intel deployed field of applied science, not woo.

Machete is going to be awesome.

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

I forgot to credit and thank MinM for having found and posted 'Machete' in another thread.

Being knifed or punctured with sharp objects is one of the strongest primal fears humans have, quite different from the idea of being shot.

This is why the 1973 James Bond movie, 'Live and Let Die,' has so many scenes of black people with knives while tuxedoed anglos wield pistols...in a year that Black Panther Bobby Seale ran for mayor of Oakland and Donald Freed published a book about Seale's 1970 New Haven trial which included an FBI provocateur murderer.

So that 'Machete' movie poster hijacks Nacho del Valle's Machete Movement and puffs the meme 'savage foreigners causing homegrown terrorism' all at once.
