For OpEdNews: Robert Singer - Writer The controversy around Governor Palin’s shopping spree and inconsistent position on "the bridge to nowhere" is an example of disinformation. Consider a typical Internet rant: Palin’s shopping orgy is just one more stupid mistake. Since naming her as the VP pick, the McCain Campaign has gone out of its way to cultivate her image: Jane Six Pack. Hockey Mom. Small Town Values. The message was: Sarah Palin is just like you and me. The answer? Anyone who wants to make sure Barack Obama is the next president.
Who in their right mind approved Sarah Palin’s 150k shopping spree? Who let her continue to pretend she told Congress, "Thanks, but no thanks to that Bridge to Nowhere”?
The selection of Governor Palin over McCain’s friend Joe Lieberman was intended to promote the media circus surrounding the failed McCain campaign.
Disinformation is misleading information deliberately announced publicly or leaked by a government or an intelligence agency in order to influence public opinion. Some disinformation promotes ridiculous claims and behavior in order to sow confusion and undermine credibility.
Alan Greenspan’s statement that the United States has been swept by a "once-in-a-century credit tsunami" that will hit consumer spending and jobs and is the worst financial crisis since the 1930's Great Depression is also disinformation.
Agents of disinformation may not “play their hand” until the right moment, so, for the financial crisis to benefit Barack Obama, it would have to take place right before the election.
Richard Ney, mentioned in my article “An Amero For Your Thoughts,” received the Top Writer of Finance award and gained instant credibility for his correct forecasting of a market downturn in 1962. He wrote three best selling books on the stock market. The Wall Street Jungle antagonized Wall Street specialists by saying their guile and "secret privileges" allowed them to manipulate the market and trick investors. Although his books were New York Times bestsellers, no one at the paper would review them and the Wall Street Journal refused to take an ad from a New York bookseller.
On February 5, 1997, Ney claimed that the ‘87 crash was orchestrated by the specialist- investment banker cartel and when asked if this cartel would benefit from an even larger crash in the future, he answered, “the specialist cartel is currently planning just such a crash, as evidenced by the provision for the 350-point cutoffs.” Need more proof of a conspiracy? There were only two people who were not allowed to be guests on NBC's Tonight Show during Johnny Carson's reign: Ralph Nader and Richard Ney.
The last president to be elected in a landslide amidst the worst economic crisis in U.S. history was FDR in 1933. Within days, he saved the nation's financial institutions from collapse through an extended "bank holiday."
Governor Palin, aka Hockey Mom, is the insurance policy for an Obama win. The worst financial crisis since the 1930s Great Depression is the guarantee that Barack Obama, an unknown senator four years ago, will be elected president of the United States…by a landslide.
