Victims or Actors? Part 11

Wagging the dog

There is a 1997 movie called ‘Wag the Dog,’ about the manufacture by the White House of a fake war in order to distract from the news of a presidential sex scandal that breaks eleven days before an election. Spin doctor Conrad Brean, played by Robert de Niro, employs Hollywood producer Stanley Motss, played by Dustin Hoffman, to produce TV footage of the phoney war. We can regard this movie as a fiction, a satire, a means of portraying essential truths, or something of all three.

In explaining what he requires from producer Motss (Hoffman), spin doctor Brean (de Niro) talks about the nature of the reality presented on screen.

“You watched The Gulf War. What do you see day after day? The one smart bomb falling down a chimney. The truth? I was in the building when we shot that shot. We shot it in a studio in Falls Church, Virginia. 1/10 scale model of a building.”

“Is that true?”

“How the fuck do we know? You take my point?”

When all we have to go on is that which is presented to us by liars, it can be difficult to discern fact from fiction. The film itself cleverly blurs the line between the two.

In the movie, the fake war is reported as ending but to prevent their plans being scuppered and media attention returning to the presidential scandal, Brean and Motss concoct the idea of a soldier being left behind, and “discarded like an old shoe (see 49.15).” They give the soldier the name Schumann and commission a song called, “Good Old Shoe,” which is recorded to seem dated and inserted into the Library of Congress to be ‘rediscovered.’ In the context of the ongoing censorship and memory holing of footage relevant to these articles, the notion of history being falsified in this way, is interesting. In addition, when the musician commissioned to compose the song asks if there is a financial 'back end,' to the project, Brean says yes and mentions the yellow ribbon campaign for hostages. A presidential aide played by Anne Heche replies (see 21.30),

“Yeah. But that was a naturally occurring...That was a put-up job?”

The question is allowed to hang. The implication is that it was a put-up job, or at the very least, how would we know? This is a question that we can apply to much of what we absorb from the news media.

Brean and Motss go out under the cover of darkness to inititate a fake 'grass-roots' show of solidarity with their fake hostage, by throwing tied pairs of shoes into a tree. Back in reality, the faking of grass roots movements is widespread enough to have warranted the coining of the term, “astroturfing.” During the first week of lockdown independent journalist James Corbett observed a direct correlation between the astroturfing scenes in the movie Wag the Dog and the simultaneous appearance in countries around the world of people applauding from their homes for health care workers. The odd lockdown story of a 99 year old man walking up and down his garden like a caged animal brought with it a financial 'back end,' as,

“A £1.4 million book deal and an £18,000 awards ceremony appearance fee were among the financial benefits Mr and Mrs Ingram-Moore enjoyed through their family links to the Captain Tom Foundation.” The BBC reported that (the freemasonic number of ) £33 million was donated to the fundraiser.

In Wag the Dog, when asked by Motss, “You want me to produce your war?

Brean replies, “Not a war. It's a pageant. We need a theme, a song, some visuals. It's a pageant.”

A pageant is defined as “a theatrical exhibition. A spectacle.”

In a clever and thought-provoking video by the Paulstal Service that was censored online, scenes from Wag the Dog were interspersed with news coverage of the aftermath of the Manchester Arena event.

As in the movie, a song was attached to the media narrative of the incident, with “Don't Look Back in Anger,” by Manchester band Oasis being sung by the public and played at remembrance events.

The arena incident was marked at a pop concert entitled “One Love,” and at the popular Great Manchester Run at which people wore yellow ribbons in remembrance. A 'back end,' came from 'I love Manchester,' merchandise which, “flew off the shelves,” and from the bee emblem which was suddenly ubiquitous. “Thousands of hearts appear(ed) in Manchester city centre,” as people apparently, “responded to the #AHEART4MCR social media campaign.”

The bee features on the city's coat of arms but in the aftermath of the Manchester arena event it found renewed popularity, featuring on t-shirts, posters, prints, tattoos, murals, and roadside sculptures.

As the state seeks to limit car travel, the bee has now found its way on to a new bus and rail interchange in neighbouring Stockport, although Stockport is a separate town with its own identity and no bees on its coat of arms.

The bee is a symbol of freemasonry.

It may initially seem unlikely that reactions are managed in the manner suggested by Wag the Dog but it is documented that the British government has used “controlled spontaneity,” plans in advance of terrorist attacks since before 2012.

“Hashtags are carefully tested before attacks happen, Instagram images selected, and “impromptu” street posters are printed.

In operations that contingency planners term “controlled spontaneity,” politicians’ statements, vigils and inter-faith events are also negotiated and planned in readiness for any terrorist attack.

Within hours of an incident, campaigns are swiftly organised, with I “heart” posters designed and distributed according to the location of the attack. Plans are also drawn up for people to hand out flowers at the scene of the crime, in apparently unprompted gestures of love and support.

The purpose of the operations, according to a number of people involved in their creation who spoke to MEE, is to shape public responses, encouraging individuals to focus on empathy for the victims and a sense of unity with strangers, rather than reacting with violence and anger.”

Footage of a supposedly spontaneous rendition of the song Don’t Look Back in Anger at a memorial in Manchester’s St.Ann’s Square three days after the arena event showed it being led by a woman wearing a hat and sunglasses and holding a bouquet of flowers. The lady’s name is Lydia Bernsmeier-Rullow. She is registered as an actress on the Independent Movie Database (IMDB) and her singing performance is listed on her IMDB page.

Although members of the public seemed moved to tears by such outbreaks of weak singing, some of the family members who had lost loved ones demonstrated the detachment that appears to be typical of those who lose a loved one in a terrorist event that serves a state agenda.

The mother of victim Martyn Hett, said she had, “no feelings of hate or anger,” and that, “right this minute, I don't feel the need to be upset and cry.”

Speaking of his step-son being blown to bits, Martyn's step-Dad, Stuart Murray commented, “This is Martyn. This is the sort of thing he does...He would take his lot in life for this.”

Martyn's mother, Figen Murray, a PR manager, added, “He'd absolutely laugh. He'd think it's amazing. He's finally made it to stardom. He'd love it. It seems odd to say but Martyn, he's up there lapping every moment. He's enjoying it, yeah.”

Martyn Hett had enjoyed a series of leaving parties prior to the incident and on the day of the Manchester arena event he wrote on Facebook, “When you go on an extended holiday and make everybody act like you're emigrating for life,” posting a picture of himself wrapped in the stars and stripes, as he was apparently intending to head to America. On the same day he posted, “Last day with my hun drinking prosecco in the sun.”

Like his mother, Martyn worked in PR. Sky News reported that, “As an adult he worked as a social media manager for a PR firm called Rumpus, and started to post his own videos "every single one starring Martyn."” His father, Paul Hett, described how Martyn was rapidly becoming a, “social media celebrity,” and had appeared on the television shows, ‘Come Dine with Me,’ and, ‘Tattoo Fixers,’ as well as on national radio. Smiling, Paul Hett stated,“There is no doubt in my mind that Martyn was destined for a great future in the media. This was just the beginning.”

Martyn Hett’s best friend also remembered him with a smile on his face.

Thirteen days after his death, Martyn’s mother laughed and joked at a vigil in Heaton Moor park in Stockport. Such was the jollity that it drew questions and derision on line (see 4:20).

The mother and stepfather of Olivia Campbell seemed similarly detached, displaying remarkable good humour for parents who had just lost their daughter. A week later they announced, on television, their plans to marry. As, after the Pulse nightclub incident, bereaved, smiling mother and aspiring TV game show contestant, Christine Leinonen, had wanted her son to be considered, “Orlando’s child,” so Olivia Campbell’s, “stepfather Paul said he wanted Olivia to be 'the face of Manchester.'"

Like Christine Leinonen, Olivia’s mother, Charlotte Campbell (C,C 3,3) appeared more upset before the confirmation of her child’s death.

Charlotte Campbell said of her daughter, “I want to keep my daughter alive. I want her to have all her dreams…I don’t want people to get me wrong, I know she’s not going to get them, but if that’s one thing I can do for her then that’s what’s going to keep me going.”

The good humour of Olivia’s mother Charlotte Campbell was obviously contagious as Ariana Grande laughed through her account of their meeting that she gave at the “One Love,” memorial concert.

Martyn Hett’s mother and step-father also enjoyed meeting the diminutive songstress days after their son’s death.

The Manchester event occurred at 22.31 on Monday, the 22nd of May. Charlotte Campbell received confirmation of her daughter’s death nearly 24 hours later (see video) on the 23rd, Tuesday evening. As a reaction to the news of the death of her child, on one of the next two days Charlotte Campbell had a large bee tattooed on her chest. A media photographer accompanied her and a report of the tattooing was published on Friday 26th May.

On the 25th, Charlotte Campbell gave a speech at a vigil urging people to “stay together,” and saying, “don't let my daughter be a victim.”

On the same Friday the BBC published a report headlined, “Manchester attack: Hundreds queue for bee tattoos.” The report explained the financial ‘back end,’ to the tattooing trend, “with those taking part donating £50 to help the families of those killed or injured.” The families of those affected by the incident eventually received £21.6 million from the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

Within a couple of weeks of her bereavement Martyn Hett’s mother had also received a bee tattoo. The hashtag #bemoremartyn trended as did Martyn’s name and later he was celebrated in a play.

In October of the following year, the incident was kept prominent in the public eye when Martyn’s step-father received a tattoo of Martyn dressed as female character Deirdre Barlow from the Manchester soap opera Coronation Street (picture below). This was televised on the TV show Tattoo Fixers on which Martyn had appeared.

Martyn Hett’s story is now being used to engineer consent for increased controls on entertainment venues through the introduction of what is called Martyn’s law. The law being promoted by Hett’s mother will affect, “155,000 smaller businesses… at an average anticipated cost of (a freemasonic) £330 a year.”

Similar to the victims of shootings we have encountered who seem unclear as to how many gunshots they suffered, in an interview in 2019 victim Lisa Roussos did not know how long she had been in a coma and had to ask her husband Andrew who informed her that it had been six weeks. Yet it was widely reported that she was awake and informed of her daughter's death on June 1^st 2017, ten days after the attack on the 22^nd May. At the time, in order to provide clarity family friend Mike Swanny had posted the news on Facebook.

On July 4th 2017, six weeks after the arena event in a report that acknowledged Lisa had regained consciousness a month earlier, Andrew recalled that when Lisa, “eventually came off life support, she said to her husband: "Saffie's gone, isn't she?" In response, dad Andrew, 43, simply nodded.”

From this it appears that neither Lisa nor her husband Andrew accurately remembered how long she was in a coma and they made an error with a margin of more than a month. Lisa Roussos also has an IMDB page.

In Wag the Dog the TV footage for the war is produced using actors and green screen technology. During the filming a young actress approaches Brean. (or see 31.40)

“Sir, all kidding aside, when this goes national, I get to put it on my resume?”

“Actually, no.”

“Because... What is it, a guild thing or something? I mean...”

“You can never tell anyone you did this.”

“What could they do to me?”

“They'd come to your house and kill you.”

Any pageant or theatrical production requires music. The Manchester Arena event obviously occurred at an Ariana Grande concert. Thirteen days later Ariana Grande led the “One Love,” memorial concert that provided a televised focal point for the channelling of public emotions. Celebrities sang, as printed placards waved by the concert-goers stated, ‘for our angels,’ and the viewing public added to the emotional investment they had made in tattoos and donations.

The popularised theme was that, ‘Manchester stands together.’ This theme had appeared the day after the reported bombing when attendees at a vigil held, “banners and placards proclaiming "Love not Hate" and "We stand together."”

In the face of the powerful emotional sway and sense of unity engendered by this televised extravaganza how could anyone dare question the official narrative? As George Bush had said after 9/11, “either you are with us or you are with the terrorists.”

In 2018 the theme of togetherness was reinforced when 3,000 singers convened in Albert Square for a, 'Manchester Together - With One Voice' concert.’ A few years later a similar theme would be repeated by politicians to encourage obedience during lockdown when they proclaimed, “We’re all in this together.” During lockdown, on the third anniversary of the Manchester incident the (freemasonic) bee emblem appeared in people’s windows alongside the (occult) symbol of the rainbow.

After the reported bombing, affecting footage of victim Olivia Campbell singing ‘All of Me,’ by John Legend was circulated in the mainstream press and edited with words from her father who said, “she has now gone to heaven with her grandad Paul, she'll be singing to him now and she can annoy him.”

John Legend has publicly and repeatedly advocated restricting gun ownership in the United States where the Second Amendment of the Constitution provides for the public to be armed so that it might fulfil its duty to overthrow the government should it ever become tyrannical. Legend was particularly outspoken about the Orlando and Sandy Hook incidents which encouraged calls for increased gun control.

During the shamdemic pageant both Ariana Grande and John Legend provided musical coercion for the fake vaccines.

Though it has been reposted by others, Grande’s song promoting the fake vaccines with fellow prostitute James Corden has now been removed by the Late Late Show Youtube channel. Grande also promoted the fake vaccines in a song with talk show host Jimmy Fallon.

As recently as 2023, Legend was still shamelessly advertising the injections for Pfizer. Like the musician character played by Willie Nelson who is commissioned to write a song in Wag the Dog, it appears that musicians are used in the service of state fakery.

The movie Wag the Dog begins with the following words on screen.

“Why does a dog wag its tail?

Because a dog is smarter than its tail.

If the tail were smarter, the tail would wag the dog.”
