Government
Think Tank Calls For Infiltrating Conspiracy Websites
Common Purpose Marxist front group Demos says state needs to
"fight back" against people who question the authorities to
"increase trust in government"
Furious that state involvement in major
terror attacks is being exposed to a wider audience than ever before
via the Internet, a UK think tank closely affiliated with the Downing
Street has called for authorities to infiltrate conspiracy websites
in an effort to "increase trust in the government".
"A Demos report published today,
The Power of Unreason, argues that secrecy surrounding the investigation
of events such as the 9/11 New York attacks and the 7/7 bombings in
London merely adds weight to unsubstantiated claims that they were "inside
jobs,"
reports
the London Independent. In other words, the fact that the overwhelming
amount of evidence indicates that both
7/7 and
9/11 were "inside
jobs" of one form or another, and that huge numbers of people are
now aware of this via the increasing influence of the Internet, is hampering
efforts to commit more acts of terror, therefore the government needs
to change its strategy.
In the report, Demos,
"Recommends
the Government fight back by infiltrating internet sites to dispute
these theories." One of the tools Demos already employs to "fight
back" against conspiracy theories is by labeling anyone who challenges
the government's official story as an extremist or a terrorist recruiter. The
strategy mirrors that advocated by White House information czar Cass
Sunstein, who in a 2008 white paper similarly
called for conspiracy
websites to be infiltrated and undermined in order to dilute their influence. In the same report, Sunstein also called for taxing conspiracy theories
(any viewpoint that differs with the official version)
and
outright banning free speech that the authorities disapproved of.
What Demos and Sunstein are essentially
calling for is classic “provocateur” style infiltration,
updated for the 21st century, that came to the fore during the Cointelpro
years,
an FBI program
from 1956-1971 that was focused around disrupting, marginalizing
and neutralizing political dissidents, often using illegal methods.
The fact that governments on both sides
of the pond have been caught over and over again habitually lying about
everything under the sun, allied to a compliant corporate media that
has aided authorities in covering up their misdeeds, has prompted a
complete collapse in trust from the people, an effect that is now seriously
hampering the state's efforts to enlist implied consent, with millions
of people rebelling against the system through civil disobedience and
non-compliance in a myriad of different ways.
That's why Demos, a mouthpiece for the
British authorities, is desperate to infiltrate "conspiracy websites," ie groups of people who broadcast the truth, in order to "increase
trust" in a government that has lost all credibility.
