Gee, who do these guys work for?
The Rendon Group

EmpowerPeace
http://www.empowerpeace.com/pages/home.html
“Empower Peace was born from the genesis of a program The Rendon Group, Inc.
(TRG) created and produced in 2000 involving the participation of youth from
Belfast, Northern Ireland, Johannesburg, South Africa, and Boston,
Massachusetts. TRG connected youth from these diverse countries utilizing
satellite technology and the result was a moving, educational and enriching
cultural exchange.”
Do you get it? It’s all a web of lies and misrepresentations. The White House
hires a PR group to do it’s weird dirty work while the press lingers over
stories because the White House is busy spreading multiple possible truths on
each story -- and, of course, securing plausible deniability for themselves in
the process.
Planned disagreement -- stuff like this:

The Bush administration works hard to obscure the inner workings of its foreign
policy team. But Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s snippy comments last week
about a new Iraq initiative by his colleague, National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice, suggest some of the tensions that lie beneath the surface.
Rumsfeld, a man for whom the expression “short fuse” might have been invented,
complained in an interview Tuesday with four European news organizations that he
had not been consulted about the creation of an Iraq Stabilization Group that
will be chaired by Rice. When a German reporter pressed him, Rumsfeld snapped:
“I said I don’t know. Isn’t that clear? You don’t understand English?” Rumsfeld,
Rice and various administration press wranglers have been scrambling ever since
to pretend that everything is chummy with Rummy. But the truth is that there is
more debate and disagreement behind the scenes than the administration’s public
“happy talk” would suggest. That’s all to the good, in my view: A more vigorous
debate earlier might have prevented some of the administration’s mistakes.
Right! These guys are not as thick as thieves? That’s what we’re supposed to
believe? Gee, Rummy -- it’s not that he didn’t understand you but that he
disbelieved you. Is that why you were angry? Don’t hold your breath waiting for
that Oscar nomination...
Vigorous debate? Is that writer completely high or what?
I really wish I were just crazy, but as the govt. basically becomes the customer
liaison for the multi-nationals it really is ALL ABOUT MARKETING!
Here’s another one for y’all...
New Pentagon office to spearhead information war
http://cnn.usnews.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&expire=-1&urlID=2189673&fb=Y&partnerID=2004
“Under law, the Pentagon operation can only work outside the United States.
Sources said that it may involve targeting international media but not U.S.
media outlets.”
Gravy.
But can someone explain to me how they maintain absolute separation of
information between what is disseminated internationally versus what is known
only nationally? I mean, I read the BBC news online.
Further...
Can someone explain to me what precisely The Rendon Group is doing for the White
House “in country”?
Just as I thought...
This isn’t even new, BTW...
