FOX News: The Neoconservative Movement's Sturmabteilung
A. Alexander, July 23rd, 2007
"All opposition must be stamped into the ground," was the Sturmabteilung's maxim. All opposition to their political and ideological objectives was met with fierce and unrelenting assaults. Such is after all, the only way tyranny can succeed. In order to thrive, tyranny relies on thugs and bullies to intimidate, cow and suppress all competing views. Tyranny, like cockroaches, cannot tolerate exposure to light. America's corporate-owned media continue in their refusal to accept and admit the threat that the Neoconservative movement poses to American democracy. Most people assumed the Republican Party and the Neoconservative movement was one-and-the-same, but they weren't. Shortly after September 11, 2001 the Republican Party fell victim to the Necon's version of the "Night of the Long Knives." The Bush administration, under the guiding hand of Karl Rove and through the primary process, in hopes of creating what they believed would be "a permanent Republican majority," purged the GOP of any and all so-called moderate opposition and replaced them with Neoconservative and theocratic ideologues.
The Bush administration and its Neoconservative backers have been only barely lacking in the sort of arrogance that is required to attempt the more traditional and violent oppression and intimidation of the movement's political opposition. But, that is just barely. Instead, they consolidated the onetime semi-autonomous right-wing propaganda media and made their version of the "Night of the Long Knives," a bloodless takeover.
The Republican radio network, which had once supported the more traditional "Conservative" cause, has been hijacked and now serves only the Neoconservative purpose. Rather than espouse and sell the Conservative agenda, it is their job to bludgeon and intimidate the opposition, especially the mainstream media, into submission and silence.
Much of the Neocon Media is underwritten by Australian-born and FOX News owner, Rupert Murdoch and his massive global media empire. Nobody doubts that FOX News' most important function is to take the lead in attacking any media outlet that might dare to either expose or confront the stygian Neocon ideology and the group's dark imperial objectives.
It is true that the Neoconservative's version of the storm trooper doesn't use physical force to intimidate the opposition, but their assaults are remarkably effective at accomplishing the goal - the goal of stamping the opposition "into the ground."
NBC News, after careful consultation with their trusted analysts and experts (retired Generals and others) assessed the situation in Iraq and determined it to be, by all accepted definitions, a civil war. NBC's conclusion was in direct opposition to the Neoconservative Bush administration's official stance. FOX News and the right-wing radio propaganda network immediately pounced on NBC and they haven't relented.
If a person closes their eyes it is almost possible to see the brown shirts closing in around NBC, their clubs beating the air and upon finding their mark, hearing the sickening empty thud as wood meets flesh. FOX News, especially Bill O'Reilly, have attacked NBC like a rabid pack of starving wolves. And, they've done it with only one goal: to intimidate NBC into unquestioningly following the Neoconservative line...at all times.
FOX News has done the same thing with PBS. Only recently the Australian-born Murdoch's network aired a program titled, "Banned on PBS." A Neoconservative by the name of Frank J. Gaffney and a group of like-minded "film makers," created a so-called documentary about the Islamic faith. It was typical Neoconservative propaganda-based fear-mongering. According to them, Islamic terrorists aren't comprised of a small faction of radicals, but rather every Muslim adheres to and supports terrorism.
Not being factual, PBS declined to air the program. Gaffney brought his Islamic propaganda film and his beef with PBS to FOX News, where the absurd 'documentary' was aired in full and the film makers spent the intermissions bashing PBS for refusing to give credence to their Neoconservative madness.
The main purpose of the FOX News program was not to air Gaffney's pathetic propaganda film, it was to intimidate PBS. PBS has the one thing that FOX News and the entire Neoconservative propaganda media is lacking: credibility. If people were to view the Neoconservative Islamic propaganda film on PBS, it would give their fear-mongering campaign a legitimacy it has never had and doesn't deserve.
Now, like NBC, PBS will be continuously assaulted by the Neoconservative storm division at FOX News and by the movement's propagandists on the radio. The attack will be relentless and won't end until both networks, the opposition, are "stamped into the ground." After all, that is what storm troopers working for tyrannical movements do. And, that is FOX News' primary reason for being.
