The Genius of The Dead Brain MainStream Media

The willingness of the BD media to allow itself to be manipulated in the service of the Orcs is not a recent phenomena but recent war history must lead to a reevaluation of the media as a for hire mercenary force that must be accounted for in military operations. The recent war between Hezballah and Isreal is a perfect example of the Western Media as a willing participant in betrayal and corroboration in the service of the Orcs. Despite the BD facile "analysis" which, in truth, are not more than cut and paste jobs of the enemy's talking points that Israel had its' clock cleaned and suffered severe tank and soldier causalities the exact opposite is true. Israel suffered the lowest causalities in the entire history of fighting the Orc. On the loss of the 29 tanks damaged by Hezballah missile fire 25 were returned to combat within 24 hours. The only part of Hezballah/Iran war plan to ambush and destroy Israel's tanks that worked was the manipulation of the BD Media.

Much has been made in the Western press of Hezballah's benign social services function in Lebanon, of the hospitals and schools it has built. Almost no notice however has been paid to the large numbers of these hospitals and schools which were built over its military bunkers and rocket launching sites.

This was perhaps both the most cynical and barbaric disregard for innocent civilian lives of all of Hezballah's and Iran's strategic choices. It was also the most successful. It was predicated not on its knowledge of its enemy (Israel) but its true genius lay in its knowledge of the press. The calculus was simple: launch a rocket from within a civilian population; if you kill Jews that's a victory. If the Jews hit back and in so doing kill Lebanese civilians, that's a victory. If they don't hit back because they're afraid to hit civilians, that's a victory. Now repeat the process until you kill so many Jews they have to hit back and in so doing kill more Lebanese civilians. That's the ultimate victory, because they know that in striking just those chords exactly what music the press will play. The awful truth, which the Western Press was manipulated to ignore or downplay, was that Iran, through its terrorist operational arm Hezballah, had invaded Lebanon from within. Hezballah did not protect Lebanon, they occupied it and they used those Hezballah occupied territories to launch Iran's offensive in response to the West's ultimatum to cease development of nuclear weapons.


What they failed to gain militarily they accomplished through the manipulation of the Western Media which were their willing dupes and through the ineptitude and weakness, if not down right appeasement of the political leadership of the International community which has all but guaranteed that this war will be but round one.
