Charlie Sheen: Twenty Minutes with the President (PR Stunt)
September 8th, 2009Punkd: This is fake.
What really happened on 9/11 enters the realm of yetti and hobgoblins.
Via: Infowars:
I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200 seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript of our remarkable discussion.
No wonder it reads like a script. It’s FAKE. What amazes me is that Alex Jones would think there won’t be blowback from this. Apparently, the “interview” was posted without the disclaimer below, which was added later in fine print (according to reports on the internets).
As to the substance of what Sheen “said” to the president, at least it was a pretty good summary of the issues and unanswered questions. And, interestingly, no mention of controlled demolition.
Alex Jones must be out of his pickled mind if he thinks this was a smart move. Does nobody in his orbit ever level with him?
Alex Jones is a distraction, his tactics have always been sensationalist and specifically geared for those who can’t navigate the subtle terrain of truth. Black and White rhetoric leads to excess, and provides very convenient dogma for those not really wanting to observe their own lives.
Jones provides a form of entertainment that works only in an environment where people can no longer discern the minutiae that is the complexity of life on earth. He provides a form of information warfare that is round the clock adrenal, a roller coaster of doom and panic – a very seductive niche market that has served him well.
The infowar is multifaceted, and if the leaders of the people are those who yell like angry children in order to be heard than the ‘truth’ movement was dead before it began. Charisma is one thing, self promotion and delusion is another.
If Alex Jones brings people to his truth by providing some truths he’s done his job.
The whole play here is using the “controversy” of their “faking” a conversation with the President ([i]”oh the horror”[/i], say John & Jane Doemerican, their eyeballs nonetheless captured for a time) to increase the attention span for their own particular flavor of hoo-ha.
At some point, it will eventually sink in for you too: the whole thing is one massive facade. From the garden channel to twenty-four hour weather, it’s all one big antenna with a gazillion different signals, most of the people manning them sticking to the rules of engagement as passed down by their producers and publishers.
What Caesar say still goes in this day and age. You might as well be watching the Disney Channel if you believe otherwise. Do you think the FCC cracks down on pirate radio for the public safety?
Yes, what I’m saying is that everyone with a message is playing you a song, hoping you’ll sing along. Some beneficent, most not. Some with clear intent, but most innocent of their complicity. But they’re ALL counting on a well-known human trait: by and large we really enjoy joining in; so much so that it appears to be hard-wired.
So, fully aware of this tendency, the Mighty Wurlitzer and it’s many channels spin layer upon layer upon layer upon layer of deceit, until they’ve got everybody arguing about which version of the story to argue about, while they just keep right on telling new stories to further muddle the already muddied waters.
The media is largely an echo-chamber filled with paid spokespersons of one stripe or another. There’s a pretty conclusive pile of evidence that the xIC (<– insert your favorite complex here) has been working to crack the human bean for patterns and programming purposes for several decades now. To what eventual end? Health care reform, perhaps?
Alex Jones is just one tool among legions. For all you know, I’m a tool too. Oh well. Not much I can do about that expect spew truth and hope those with well-tuned s**t filters detect its unmistakable melody.
Ultimately, what renders the internet as a medium so easily “damnable” are the very things which make it an excellent revolutionary tool in every sense, from business to terrorism. The flexibility and impermanence of its structures, especially the “social networking” variety of today, offer ideal cover for all sides properly equipped.
And then there’s the time and difficulty involved in vetting sources in tubes filled with little more than electrons, photons and aether. Who has the time, really?
The thing is, in a sense, everything is fiction until you can personally prove otherwise. A problematic proposition, even these days.
But what to do about those who DO have the time, or worse still, MAKE the time?
We’ve all experienced that moment, often when speaking to individuals still firmly “jacked in” to the tube — especially a Fox brand or similar — when information mentioned as being sourced off the Net about any subject they don’t wish to discuss the details of is damned as less than trustworthy, as opposed to more established and/or official sources.
Bingo. Mission accomplished. Mischief managed. Control the terms of the argument until there’s simply no space left (or even allowed) in the lexicon for the true language of protest. Truth to power instantly rendered impotent. “Question authority” erased from the social dictionary as delivered by the increasingly-centralized media machine.
I’m not referring the bullhorn-toting, self-promoting blow-hard sort of protest foisted off on the more-or-less radicalized fragments they spend billions closely monitoring today, but the more serious unifying kind that spawned the sex-and-drugs-and-rock-and-roll Hippie “counter-revolution”, carefully crafted to undermine by association the truly dangerous counter-cultural types effectively speaking out against the underlying systems of power in the early sixties.
Dave McGowan’s eye-opening Laurel Canyon series offers some colorful and well-researched background. For example, how many people here were aware that Lizard King Jim Morrison’s father was the admiral in charge in the Gulf of Tonkin? Or that Zappa’s daddy-O worked for Uncle at Edgewood Arsenal and beyond doing classified things with chemicals? Great stuff. It’ll alter your perspective on the Mama’s and Papa’s too. And yes, Charlie Manson’s in there too… =)
Naturally, when social and career-based measures are ineffective, there’s always the Dealey Plaza method. Or the Paul Wellstone method. Maybe the David Kelley method. There are so many to choose from these days, it can drive a Company Man to drink. And probably does.
In the end it’s “kingdom come, thy will be done” all the way baby. Harsh reality, but there it is. Until the collective head emerges from enforced hibernation — which ain’t what Alex or Charlie are shooting for, I can promise you — this will be the world in which we live.
Meanwhile, outside the western media thought cordon so effectively shrouding millions of minds like a vast virtual turban straight out of Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, plenty of folks (with and without turbans) have a pretty clear picture of how the world essentially works, despite the distinct lack of details available to even the average western media particpant, let alone the inquisitive.
I rest my case.

Awesome post.
I’m going to have to check out the Laurel Canyon series before it gets sealed in a vault in some place left on the planet with deep ice.
Gosh, makes me wonder what George, Paul, John and Ringo’s parents with involved in?
Proves that children of parents who are involved with keeping secrets become artists extraordinaire? Sounds like it to me.
The children are expressing their parents repressed living experience.
Its like a dirge that can sound happy. But its the soul of the child breaking free and finding wing in self expression.
Not that sex, drugs and the very act of rock and roll didn’t help self expression.
Dunno. Its the proverbial question – what came first, the chicken or the egg?
Har?
…and Stewart Copeland, drummer for The Police…his father was a…
i mean he was one of the They.
ands i’m not talking about Open Source Software or the Culinary Institute of America.
(btw…”Admiral Morrison was the keynote speaker at the decommissioning ceremony for Bon Homme Richard, his first ship as an admiral, on July 3, 1971 in Washington D.C.”)
“Laurel Canyon series”
yes, looks good. another one added to the reading list.

Uh, no. Maybe you shouldn’t read “Inside the LC”, Eileen. It may puncture too many pontoons at once, based upon the perspectives you offer above. You’re so far off it actually concerns me, as I don’t want to ruin your whole week.
So you’re aware, we’re talking glimpses of a gaping abyss full of familiar scary questions, contextualized with all the other fascinatingly dark “rabbit hole” subject matter McGowan spends so much writing time rooting around in.
The rock and roll biz wasn’t nearly so “flower child” as you think it was you see — mostly they steamrollered over the legitimate peace movement with buggered moral and ethical messages and plenty of “free love” depravity designed to polarize and isolate the social communities they welded themselves onto.
Don’t get me wrong, I grew up on rock and roll and to this very day spend far too much time in and around music, especially the live variety, but that’s a decision I made years ago and I’m happy living with the consequences.
And I’m not talking down art and the artistic muses, okay? I’m talking subversion rendered ala Frankenstein as socially-conscious soma. It’s yet another chapter of the “conspiracy theory” class of unacceptable history that occasionally blows the veil aside to offer moments of clarity as to how the larger game may generally be played.
Bread and circuses, right?
McGowan is also responsible for coining one of my favorite contemporary socio-historical terms, for its sheer semantic girth and brutal accuracy: Pedophocracy.
We’re talking SRA and the whole nine yards, while filthy lucre flowed from the b(l)ack pockets of the operational elite to money-laundering operations/rock clubs on Sunset Strip to the back pockets of radio station program directors who can reach your ears so the dollars will then start to flow back in. LSD intentionally released into the social strata by the Agency, after testing revealed it could/would seriously mess with people’s heads. Etc, etc. etc.
The stories are told in loosely episodic bios covering various personalities and their place in the web of highly unusual connections that was behind the rise of the LA scene in the late sixties.
On a sidebar: did you know that Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and the legendary Frank Capra both made (wrote/directed) propaganda shorts for the US government in their early careers?
@miraculix
As per your suggestion I’m not going to Laurel Canyon. But puhlease, get real here, “ruin my week?”
It never occured to me in my teens that I was a tool of the CIA. However, if I was an unwitting tool, Thank you for all of the good times Mr. Woollesy or whoever!
Did the CIA also implant the worms into tequila?
wowser.
I guess I’ve only heard from my sister lately that “I’m so off it” and that she’s worried about me and thinks I’m out of control.
But from you? Hmmm.
I never said I was sane.
You live in MY DAY JOB for 18 years and see how you fare. Add that to my ashram lifetime before that and presto, here I am, leaking all my unintelligable self out into the ethers.
Good luck to you too.
Myself, I”m going out to buy the digitally remastered CD of the Beatles Norwegian Wood.
Brings back some of the fonder memories in my life from a sister who has passed on into the wherever.
She seemed to be fixated at some point in her life on the song “norwegian wood.” And I just quite simply want to listen to the song again.
Do you know any people creating art these days ?
I think they would agree with what I said. Creating art is in the DNA karmic make up.
You can assassinate it, make up fake death lies if you don’t like the message, but sheesh, its a spiritual urge.
I don’t think I’m out of it at all. I just don’t think from the same place you’re in.
I hope for great good for you. No fights.
And yes, I forgot to add I do know that both Suess and Capra were disillusioned artists at times in their careers and did dumb/stupid things to make money.
I don’t think anyone here on this planet is supposed to have a clean slate.
Both Suess and Capra have left a legacy of good behind that still brings joy! If both these artists were former commie-nazi’s is that where the focus on their lives should remain?
I tend to go to the light, not the darkness in a person’s life. The darkness, well thats a thing thats worked out in one incarnation to the next.
That’s what I think happens.
I hope I don’t come off like I have the answers to life, existence or whatever.
I don’t have the answer. Just strong opinions.
I’m working on all.
