In the 2012 Presidential election campaign the voter, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, needs to see beyond the TV smoke and mirrors to see how they are being played by the man behind the curtain.
Dorothy had to learn the Wizard’s name, this one is well known… Karl Rove, former Bush family Dark Arts campaign master. He runs the nation’s largest group of SuperPACS under the American Crossroads banner.
The last thing he wants YOU to do is understand how his money and message system works. These are PsyOps of the highest order. Every advertising word and phrase is parsed and measured to spawn outrage and hatred towards the nation’s first ever black president.
Why? Because the GOP cartel swore a blood oath to do everything they could to take him down on his Inauguration night and moved beyond opposition to hostile, obstructionist confrontation and holding the USA hostage in the process.
The last thing Rove wants Democrats to figure out is that he doesn’t need to win the media debate… he just needs to be in it. From there he paints the Democrats with their own ‘strength as a weakness’ brush. Republicans show viewers “both sides are bad” and neutralise the debate, even by losing it…
This is the brilliant application of a conscious-less, blatant lie strategy.
The Republicans know if they say something enough times, with enough energy (and millions of dollars of adverts and corporate propaganda FOX News network) behind it, no matter how ludicrous… it becomes mainstream ‘truth’ in their ‘fact-free’ universe.
In this third book in the ‘WTF are They Doing’ series, you will see how in six weeks, the War on Women has grown worse and extended to the rest of us, the 99%. Armed with unlimited billionaire cash, it will infect every aspect of messaging and change the debate.
And in politics, he who controls the debate wins the election.
