Beware Of US Wolves Dressed Like Pro-Democracy Sheep

Spirit of America's latest project is an anonymous blogging tool for people living under repressive regimes.

Nothing wrong with that, right? In fact it is perhaps even laudable.

But people should know who they are dealing with. So I added a little warning message to the Wiki Front Page:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WIKI WAS SET UP BY SPIRIT OF AMERICA (BELOW) WHO WORK WITH THE CIA ON US PSYOPS PROJECTS. SPIRIT OF AMERICA WAS SET UP BY A US GOVERNMENT THINK-TANK WITH FINANCE FROM THE OIL INDUSTRY. FOR DETAILS, SEE:

Jim Hake, perhaps it's time you told us all the whole truth about your links to Cyber Century Forum.
Did Hake know about CCF’s investments when SoA was set up? If not, why not? Has SoA received oil money or not? Has Hake met with oil execs? What does he know about CCF's relationship to the oil industry? Why is CCF investing money in US oil anyway? Just a bloody coincidence? Who ARE these people?
I suspect your version of "Democracy" is something most people in the world, even those living under repressive regimes, would find repulsive. What does one gain by moving from a Communist Dictatorship to a Fascist Dictatorship?

For anyone not familiar with this story, here are the questions I long ago asked Jim Hake's stooges at Iraq The Model:
1. Were the Fahdil brothers aware that Spirit of America was set up and supported by Cyber Century Forum, a group dedicated to spreading US influence worldwide, particularly covert cyber-intelligence measures?

2. Were you aware that Cyber Century Forum holds 100K stocks in oil companies Schlumberger Ltd and Transocean Sedco? As Iraqis, (supposedly) - do you have a problem with that?

3. Did you know that 2 of the 3 members of Cyber Century Forum are also members of a top-level think-tank, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, which is also dedidicated to spreading US influence? Do you have a problem with that?

4. Who are the Americans trying to use ITM for partisan political or other purposes, whom Ali said "made me feel I'm on the wrong side here"? Why did Ali not go to the USA? What happened over there? (Note that Ali's comments came BEFORE his brothers met with Bush and Wolfowitz, so the NYT explanation is not valid.)

5. How do you expect to garner support from ordinary Iraqis during the election process if you do not even try to refute these very serious allegations? Why don't you just come right out and admit that you are working hand-in-glove with the CIA?

6. Are you aware that Spirit of America is a client of Direct Impact, a "grassroots marketing" organisation, whose marketing involves creating a "Buzz" by getting seemingly ordinary people (or better yet, influential people) to promote a product by word-of-mouth. Do you receive any money from Direct Marketing?

7. Did you know that Lady Diana Dougan, one of three members of Cyber Century forum, is also on the board of directors at Qualcomm, a US company which won the contract to deliver Iraq's lucrative new mobile phone network (despite the questionable bidding process and Qualcomm's unpopular CDMA technology).
A lot of dead bodies have floated under a lot of blown-up bridges, but we are still no closer to the truth...

For the record, I did not delete any of your posts. I suggest you wait for comments to load before attacking people.

Why are my assertions about SoA absurd? It really WAS set up with financial help from CCF using oil stock. Jim Hake has never explained why...

I agree that such a blogging guide could be useful to repressed netizens, though I do not see why a repressive govt would not (a) block access to this guide along with 100,000s of other site, or (b) post their own misleading information there.

But whatever... Good luck with it. I just think users should know who is providing it.

I guess you know that Microsoft , FOX and many other US companies are helping the Chinese government with institutionalized repression of the freedom of speech?

I guess you realize that these corporate monsters are the powers behind George W. Bush's new throne?

If not, I suggest you read this blog more open-mindedly before you attack me.

Well OF COURSE "Spirit of America" is clearly indicated on the front page - it's PROPAGANDA!!!

Just like the words "Freedom" and "Democarcy" are clearly labelled on all Bush's invasive, pro-business projects around the world.

Wake up...!

With respect to the questionable efficacy of this project, it is worth noting that Spirit of America projects like this are propaganda which is aimed at YOU, the US voter/donor, as much as, if not infinitely more than, the supposed target audiences.

A similar example is their Arabic Blogging Tool? Puh-lease! It is censored by pro-US voices!

Wake up...
