Like the great political commentaries of our day John Stewart and Stephen Colbert, I am enthralled with exposing the absurdities of our modern media spectacles. So I am dedicating this space to the revealing of propagandist tactics employed by news programs and to a general commentary on the nonsensical state of media in the United States in relation to their perpetuation of an anti-Islamic narrative.
First I would like to begin with a fury of media that has been released regarding a new political phenomenon in the United States. The Tea Party is a new United States party rooted in Christian fundamentalism and dated political theories. Their absurdly conservative agenda and blatant anti-Islamic propaganda have lead me to their website to attempt to understand more about their parties manifesto.
Upon doing this I discovered an entire collection of videos devoted to an anti-Islamic narrative. With ridiculous post titles such as “Could BHO [Barak Hussein Obama] be a Saudi Plant in the White House?’ , “Beware the Deception of Islam” and “Middle School Students Learn to Pray to Allah (WTF)”, can this truly be a rapidly growing party vying for political power in the United States? This group claiming to be “upholding the grand principles set forth in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights” is completely ignoring the fundamental basic rights the United States was founded on, such as freedom of religion and speech. How is it that this movement is able to gain such traction under the false pretense of American Patriotism and who are the people behind this anti-Islamic propagandist media?
The answer is Dale Robertson the founder of a Tea Party, who is described on their website as an outstanding military officer who is not enjoying his military pension, His battle team apparently was “first to the scene on 9/11 as well as the first to launch an offensive in Afghanistan”. Understanding the foundation of the Tea Party as one based in militant ideology is critical to realizing why the group is perpetuating the “clash of civilizations”. They want to fight. They want the American people to keep thinking that Islam is a threat to the nationally security. So everyday they disseminate anti-Islamic propaganda from news programs to keep the American people in constant fear. While in reality the United States is bombing and attacking innocent Muslims every single day.
Maybe Mr. Robertson should just go back to enjoying his cozy military pension and stop disseminating lies to the American people under the guise of “Patriotism”.
