Since the anti-war protests on Vietnam, the U.S. government has made "perception management" of the American people a high priority, feeding them a steady diet of propaganda about foreign crises, even getting "peace groups" to buy into "pro-democracy" wars.
"War is peace" double-speak has become commonplace these days. And, the more astute foreign policy journalists and commentators are beginning to realize the extent of how "liberal interventionists" work in sync with neocon warhawks to produce and sustain a perpetual state of U.S. war.
More and more "peace and social justice" groups are even being twisted into "democracy promotion," U.S. militarism style. But rarely do we get a window to see as clearly into how this Orwellian transformation occurs as with the "Committee in Solidarity with the People of Syria" (CISPOS) based in Minnesota's Twin Cities, a spin-off of "Friends for a Nonviolent World" (FNVW), steering its Quaker-inspired founding in nonviolence to promote speakers and essayists with strong ties to the violent uprising to topple the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, resulting in a war that has already taken some 200,000 lives.
Do the real pacifist members approve? Or even know?
Middle Eastern expatriates who support U.S. intervention in their countries are especially effective in promoting their message to Western audiences because they provide "proof" of the demonization of governments that the U.S. plans to invade and dominate, and often peace groups include these expats in presentations believing them to be representatives of an entire country.'
