Since British Authorities foiled a terrorist plot last week, there have been articles in papers around the world comparing British law enforcement with U.S. law enforcement and the dubious "Homeland Security" agency. These articles point out that British authorities have more patience and better timing than have their coalition partners in the U.S.A. What great timing, then, for U.S. law enforcement, particularly the Department of Homeland security, to reel in the killer of the extraordinarily publicized JonBenet Ramsey case. Mention details of the investigation into September 11, 2001, like the lack of interdepartmental communication within the F.B.I. preceding the attacks, and many U.S. citizens, especially in the vast heartland between the coasts, and they will have little awareness of the facts, that these attacks could have been prevented; or that their government lied to them concerning evidence of Iraq’s nuclear capabilities in order to justify a pre-emptive strike on Baghdad and the rest of the country. Mention the JonBenet Ramsey case and many will be able to tell you minute details of the case and its chronology.
It seems to me that U.S. law enforcement needed some positive p.r.: the Ramsey case, reeling in the little girls killer, provides exactly that, in a language the U.S. understands. The rest of the world is too confusing to look at, too big. The rest of the world isn’t really human anyway. They are a giant them to our us, U.S.. This is the form propaganda takes in the United States of America. And the media, like a ventriloquists dummy, responds on cue. But look, don’t you see the ventriloquist’s mouth moving?
