Rivero ravaged The mysterious "S.

Rivero ravaged The mysterious "S. Boyle" has posted an expose of Mikey Rivero and whatreallyhappened.com on several IndyMedia websites. It turns out that our favorite conspiro-freakazoid has some shady corporate backing - and he used to write for a white-supremacist magazine. (Remember, this guy says Israel is "racist".) Boyle actually cites my own sordid experience trying to convince Mikey that Ariel Sharon never said, "we, the Jewish people, control America".

I direct your attention to the D.C. IndyMedia site, where one respondent says Rivero is a government disinformation specialist. Which would make a lot of sense, come to think of it:

Rivero, What Really Happened, Go off, Dandelion, Gordon Thomas are essentially all part of an inbred and incestuous network of Right Wing propagandists and disinformation artists.

They included not only the standard Hard Right outlets like Newsmax but also Christian Fascist moupieces like Dandelion.

Their political function and agenda in general is to act as a phony opposition or Trojan Horse media specifically targetted towards those people who question the official story. If you study the disinformation put out by these propagandists, you will see a similar pattern in that they question the official story or version of events--only to carefully spin the issue in a way which just so happens to reinforce their own Right Wing agendas and political campaigns.

In particular with respect to 9-11, most of the sites have tried to seize upon obvious holes and lies in the official story about 9-11 in order to direct and deflect blame AWAY from the Bush Regime and American State in general towards some foreign bogeyman or patsy.

The bottom line is that these pseudo-alternative media outlets set up by the Right Wing have the effect of being classic CIA style psyops operations. They question the official story, only to steer and focus attention away from the more fascistic political factions which support the American military-corporate complex onto a suitable "enemy" foreign or domestic.

Gotta love these 'Midiots.

Update: Oh, this is just beautiful. Rivero himself actually posts a pathetic non-response on IndyMedia UK, in which he admits to posting the white-supremacist magazine on his website, but rationalizes it thusly:

In point of fact I was never an editor for the Resister. I merely posted the newsletter as received. And, as onorous as the statement "created by white men for white men" may be to modern sensibilitirs, that was in fact the philosophy of the foubnders of the nation, as evidenced by their treatment of the natives.

Glad he cleared that up. Rivero also says a google search will prove that an Israeli company in the World Trade Center was warned about the 9/11 attacks, and ends with a series of "quotes" which supposedly prove that, surprise, Israel is racist. Almost all of the quotes are taken grossly out of context or are obviously phony - including (you guessed it!) Ariel Sharon saying, "we, the Jewish people control America."
