CNN's emotional hyperbole and over the top speculation is pure psyops.
Do your google search of pentagon psyops operatives working at CNN.

It's happened before, and it looks like it's happening now.

1. Do you have a link or a topic?
Or is this your general observation of life?

8. At least if we stick to John and Kate's woes
no one can accuse us of being stupid enough to fall for a ridiculous massacre by a dictator or anything.

5. Iran. Some people think that it's all a bunch of "psyops" to get us into a war.
The idea that the American People might be supporting the Iranian People -- and not stumping for war -- is too quaint for some people to grasp.

4. The run up to both Iraq wars had the same feel as this thing.
Dead incubator babies, mass graves .....

7. Yes, it's exactly the same, if you discount the current President
has no intention of going to war with Iran.

10. There were concerns very early on that Obama could eventually be
conviced to go to war with Iran.

14. Why do you think Big Dick Cheney's still hanging around DC?
Why do you think he's parked his office in McLean? There are still dominos to topple in the ME.

9. I'm sure the American Revolution had some of those same elements at play.
You can relax. If nothing else, we have no MONEY to pay for invading Iran. And YOU may consider Obama a complete moron who would do so, but I don't.

Do you seriously believe the protests and deaths are fake??????

11. Not fake but certainly magnified in the same old way.
The whole thing is definitely not a simple case of good guys/bad guys.

12. Yep.
Odd how the media wasn't falling all over themselves to report on Venezuela's demonstrations after that coup against Chavez.

Caveat emptor.

6. Are CNN anchors robots?
Are they created devices incapable of being upset by atrocity?

Glad to get that information, at least something explains Lou Dobbs.

16. It sure is odd how they didn't cover Venezuela's coup and protests and killings this way, yeah.
