How things work: The "get Cindy" media campaign
I hope she brings a lawsuit and exposes the inner workings of this gang of fascist operatives. But we know a little about how the Reichists went after her, once they knew she would be present.

First, the SS knew she was coming and the Capitol Police were waiting for her. They were looking for anything to yank her out and then arrest and detain her and keep her out of action for as long as possible. Who gave the Capitol Police their orders?

Second, someone planted the story of a "banner." Someone gave that message to AP, Reuters, CNN, and the whole Corporate Media ran with it long after it was known to be a lie. Who planted that lie? Why did the Official Media stick with the lie for so long? They got the lie out instantly, but the corrections took hours to seep through.

Third, an hour or so later, the Capitol Police somehow decided to try to muddy the facts about their "get Cindy" operation by politely inviting the wife of a Republican Congressman, who was also wearing a t-shirt with a message, to step outside, although she was not roughed up or arrested. Just soothed and pacified, even though, by her account, she was pissed and abusive toward the agent who asked her to step out. Who initiated this cover-up "bust"? She had been wearing that shirt long before that action was decided on.

Fourth, the campaign of online denunciations and repetitions of the "she's a troublemaker and kook" talking points began with the very first reports and still continue. Some of this is, of course, just honest ignorance, and some of it driven by political agendas, but I also believe that a good part of it is orchestrated by PR firms and political operations whose job is to influence opinion on the net. This is the hardest thing to document, since operatives usually don't out themselves, and just a fact of life.

So the main lesson we should learn is that a series of overt actions, taken by identifiable people, with orders from "above" (the lawsuit is needed to go deeper) took place in order to first get Cindy out and keep her "detained," and then to smear her and cover up the action. Who? We need to know more than the fact that this crime happened. We need to find out who ran the operation.

2. No, that Powerline (spit) "analysis" was hours later.
The campaign was well underway long before that article was posted. I want to know, first of all, who gave the "banner" lie to the media and who, on their end, decided that it was "OK" to run with. Those were the first overt acts in the campaign.

3. Keith Olbermann must not have gotten the memo.
He didn't tell the lie.
