No Confidence

Two different stories:
US: 13% Confidence in Government
Just 13% of Americans say the government can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time, with just over three-quarters saying only some of the time and one in 10 saying they never trust the government, according to the poll.
Russia: 64% Confidence in Government
“Russians’ Confidence in Many Institutions Reaches All-Time High.” Especially sharp has been the rise in “Confidence in national government,” which was only 39% in 2013 prior to the overthrow by Obama in February 2014 of Ukraine’s government which had been friendly to Russia, but which confidence-level stands now at 64% — a gain of 64/39 or 1.64 times higher than it was a year ago. Confidence in the military has risen from 65% in 2013 to 78% now.”
Propaganda War: Ukraine

Good article on propaganda from Eric Zuesse today.
Media Lies and The Propaganda War about Ukraine
The public in the West are being played for fools, and it’s now becoming so blatant, even worse than the lies that produced the scandalously vile invasion of Iraq (which our aristocratically controlled media also fooled the masses into supporting), so that the result will be either masses in “democratic” countries who really are fools, and who don’t at all hold the press to account for having raped their minds, or else it will be mass boycotts of the major “news” media, to protest it, and to change it — so as to restore democracy to America.
If boycotts of the press don’t soon start, democracy has already ended here, because, ever since we invaded Iraq in 2003, we’re already way past the time when there should be a mass boycott by Americans of their major “news” media — media that lie to them so brazenly, and so repeatedly, for so long.

Should We Trust “Anonymous”?
Posted: June 11, 2012 in Joe GiambroneTags: Anonymous, hackers, intelligence, project, trust, wikileaks
The Anonymous entity has a new so-called project for 2012, but should we trust these people? Are they infiltrated? Are they a front? No one knows, as they are themselves what they tell us to despise: secret.
Anonymous: Project Mayhem 2012 // Call to Action – Code TYLER!
They have a new project for 2012, but this project looks a lot like Wikileaks, which already exists, and is pretty much proven to be bonafide in exposing official crimes. Anonymous seems to be competing and calling for a new wave of leaks to come into something it is building, supposedly for the purpose of protecting the anonymity of the uploaders. False sense of security ploy?
This video by Anonymous, which is completely couched in pop culture references and irrelevant quotes, appears to be creating a new Wikileaks type infrastructure, under their control.
I know if I had sensitive data to upload, I wouldn’t trust “Anonymous” to maintain my secrecy, but would actually be anonymous, from a different computer and network.
If one clicks over to the discussions about this “Tyler” project, there is no useful information and a lot of gibberish and quotations that I suppose are to make the discussion look hip or deep. They have the reverse effect, though, of making it look contrived and a marketing scam. The Anonymous videos appear to be more marketing than substance, promoting brand Anonymous rather than informing anyone about anything important. The whole undertaking seems suspicious at best.
While Anonymous targeted a few bad apples, to gain some level of street-cred, they cannot be said to be a truly independent organization with goals removed from US intelligence. Their targets in the middle east during the long-planned “Arab Spring” aligned exactly with NATO and covert US operations. That is highly troubling, and buyer beware.
P.S.
You can’t make this shit up. Amid all the disjointed quotations on their Tyler project, they nakedly promote Obama as some sort of defender of whistleblowers, linking directly to the Obama campaign website!!!
It hasn’t occurred to them, I supposed, that Obama has been the worst president in history at persecuting whistleblowers, not protecting them!
Says “Anonymous”:
“In other words, we would like to help Mr. Obama to fulfill his promises
and to make them extensible to the whole of society. World. Wide.
____________________________________________________________________Protect Whistleblowers:
“Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in
government is an existing government employee committed to public
integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism,
which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should
be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees
as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama
will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose
waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure
that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower
claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process.”
