The CIA Propagandist and Former Prankster Stewart Brand
John Rendon's Long, Strange Trip in the Terror Wars
By JOHN STAUBER

In his hippie youth as a Merry Prankster, Stewart Brand bounced around
San Francisco in Ken Kesey's day-glo bus, dousing people with LSD-laced
Kool-Aid at the legendary Acid Tests. Those were strange days, but his
latest trip is also bizarre. Brand and his Long Now Foundation are
bringing to San Francisco John Rendon, the elusive head of the Rendon
Group, one of the CIA's favorite PR firms.

John Rendon is the self-described "information warrior" who, under
contract with the CIA, named and nurtured the infamous Iraqi National
Congress. INC leader Ahmed Chalabi was a Rendon protégé embraced by
the Project for a New American Century and other advocates of war with
Iraq. Rendon and Chalabi probably did as much as anyone to deceive the
US into war. John Rendon usually stays in the shadows, but he'll be
riding high with Stewart Brand this Friday, July 14, 7:00 PM at San
Francisco's Herbst Theater.

Sheldon Rampton and I described some of the Rendon Group's activities
in our 2003 book, Weapons of Mass Deception, and we go into further
detail in our new book, The Best War Ever, which will be published in
September. The Iraqi National Congress was the source for much of the
false and deceptive propaganda on Iraq's non-existent weapons of mass
destruction, which they planted in the press with help from Judith
Miller of the New York Times and other obliging journalists. Ahmed
Chalabi has subsequently fallen out of official favor with the US, but
he is currently serving in the Iraqi government and is very friendly
with Iran, a real bummer for his patrons in the Bush Administration.

Stewart Brand is a serious guy these days, and his endorsement of John
Rendon as a guru in the "global war on terror" is for real. Brand finds
Rendon "exceptionally informed, astute, and engaged. ... It should be a
hell of a talk." Brand says Rendon wants the US "to deepen its thinking
and activities against terror" and Rendon's talk is titled "Long-term
Policy to Make the War on Terror Short."

Some small bit of public enlightenment could occur at Rendon's
appearance if he is thoroughly grilled by critics in the audience about
his lucrative career as an information warrior before he slips back
into the shadows. But Rendon is first and foremost a PR guy, and
dodging questions and spinning an audience are his stock in trade.

His San Francisco gig looks like a set-up for more hallucinations,
delusions and self-deceptions. Merry Prankster meets Mis-Information
Warrior; what a long, strange trip it's been in the never-ending,
secretive, dirty, spy-infested, mis-named and mis-handled war on
terror.

John Stauber is Executive Director of the Center for Media and
Democracy in Madison, Wisconsin and author, with Sheldon Rampton, of
Weapons of Mass Deception and The Best War Ever.

John Rendon Rendered Speechless- Not Buying War Lies in SF
by Carol Brouillet
Saturday July 15th, 2006 12:09 PM

John Rendon who received millions to sell war to the American people
for over twenty years was invited to speak in San Francisco July 14,
2006 and grilled by those who haven't bought his "War on Terrorism"

I was shocked to hear that John Rendon was an invited speaker. I made
up a flyer to pass out at the evening's event. Here is the text:
Excerpts from- The Man Who Sold the War Meet John Rendon, Bush's
general in the propaganda war-
By James Bamford, published in The Rolling Stone 11/17/05
Rendon is a battle-tested veteran who has been secretly involved in
nearly every American shooting conflict in the past two decades....
"We've worked in ninety-one countries," he said. "Going all the way
back to Panama, we've been involved in every war, with the exception of
Somalia.".... In modern warfare, he believes, the outcome depends
largely on the public's perception of the war -- whether it is
winnable, whether it is worth the cost. "We are being haunted and
stalked by the difference between perception and reality," he says.
"Because the lines are divergent, this difference between perception
and reality is one of the greatest strategic communications challenges
of war.".... In the first weeks following the September 11th attacks,
Rendon operated at a frantic pitch... "We functioned [24] hours a
day. We maintained situational awareness, in military terms, on all
things related to terrorism. We were doing 195 newspapers and 43
countries in fourteen or fifteen languages.".... The Bush
administration took everything Rendon had to offer. Between 2000 and
2004, Pentagon documents show, the Rendon Group received at least
thirty-five contracts with the Defense Dept., worth a total of $50 mil
to $100 million.

On the flip side of the flier was an announcement for next Wednesday's,
July 19th Impeachment Event at the Grand Lake Theater-

http://www.constitutionsummer.org/?q=node/30

I also passed out Media Deception Dollars. (I've published and
distributed about 6,000,000 Deception Dollars- including Election and
Media Deception Dollars; they are very popular in the United States and
throughout the world, particularly the U.K. where there is a strong
9/11 and 7/7 Truth Movement- challenging State Sponsored Terrorism, and
war.)

We arrived in San Francisco early and carried signs that said "Neo- Con
Jobs- Iraq, 9/11;" we were able to flyer, and talk to people right up
until the program began at 7:30 pm. Outside the theater, we encouraged
people to come into the "free" event and challenge the guy who made
millions selling war to the American people. Most people took the
flyers and seemed very sympathetic to our point of view. I knew
everyone who worked at the Herbst, including the janitors and security
guards, and they were very friendly, and politely reminded me of the
"rules" which we weren't violating. (I had organized many events at the
Herbst- including the premiere of "Aftermath- Unanswered Questions from
9/11," "Behind Every Terrorist- There is a Bush" and "The San Francisco
International Inquiry into 9/11.")

I don't think John Rendon has many actual admirers or fans in San
Francisco. The turnout seemed rather small; I would have thought that
there would have been more anti-war people there, except that word
about the event was very last minute.

We were joined by Bernie and Dana from the Northern California 9-11
Truth Alliance. Dana was on his way to the symphony, but brought his
"Stop the 9-11 Cover-Up" sign to at least express his opposition to the
big lies, that Rendon sold for a living. Friends from Veteran's for
Peace also helped pass out flyers. There were also a few journalists
who obviously hoped that Rendon would be grilled by the questions.
Brian had printed out 75 copies of the entire -

Rolling Stone article- The Man Who Sold the War
Meet John Rendon, Bush's general in the propaganda war- by James
Bamford which were especially high in demand after the program.

My friend and colleague, Patrick Reinsborough, from the Smart Meme
Project was there, and I told reporters that Rendon was basically our
arch-nemesis- using lies to sell war, while we gave our lives, time,
and energy trying to get out the truth to further peace and justice.
(Without any funding from government or corporate sources.)

Of course, simply because we are "peace" activists and believe in
truth, dialogue, the power of the narrative- we were not a physical
threat to Rendon. I think if Nuremberg trials were held for 9/11, he
would be sentenced very harshly. I even told my kids that although I am
basically non-violent, if there is anyone whom I would consider
throwing a pie at- it would be Rendon. Luckily for Rendon, I didn't
have time to bake a pie for him, and my family loves pie, so much, that
they would never let me waste it on such a vile character. (And, heck,
I've held too many events at the Herbst, to create a mess for anyone on
stage.)

We had no time to plan a strategic disruption/challenge of his talk,
and we got clues that the Q & A might actually permit some serious
questions to be raised and put him on the spot.

Stewart Brand introduced Rendon and mentioned that five of the board
members on his Long Now Foundation had worked with Rendon and that
Rendon's presence always seemed to make meetings run more smoothly. It
was a very friendly intro. Rendon, surprisingly, only spoke for 30
minutes maximum and then the questions and answers began.

For someone who specializes in PR, his talk was remarkably
unimpressive, but he did make a few key points.

Whoever writes "the history of 9/11 and the War on Terrorism" in the
next few years that gets disseminated to the current/future generations
will determine how long the "War on Terror" will last.

He urged that the US follow a "soft policy" rather than a "hard policy"
to win over public support in the US and abroad- earmarking more
resources towards "education" and "health." (I wonder what his position
is on eliminating 90% of the world's population through man-made
viruses, so heartily endorsed by the mad scientists in Austin last
spring ( Meeting Dr. Doom.)

Then came the many questions, some excellent, many challenging the war
on terrorism, and the events of September 11th. Brand read the
questions, and acknowledged who wrote them. I believe he even read mine
in its entirety which went something like this-

"Since the US government has lost its credibility, and most people
believe that the Administration is criminal, would the impeachment of
Bush/Cheney redeem the US in the eyes of the world, if we also changed
from the destructive global domination policy we're on?"

Brand bundled the question with some others and Rendon had greater and
greater difficulty in responding.

He refused to answer questions about Chalabi, and on one side of his
mouth he said that his firm only gave out "truthful, accurate,
information" and from the other side of his mouth that his work was
"classified" and he could not "compromise his oath" and talk about
anything regarded as secret.

His worst moment was when asked about the agenda behind the War on
Terrorism which he has been paid between 50-100 million dollars to sell
to the American people- he could give absolutely no reason for it-
except that soldiers had been convinced that there was a reason to die
for (most of them have been sold on Fox News lies that Hussein did
9-11).

There was a bit of heckling and comments, questions, noise directly
from the audience, when Brand was too soft on him.

I was sitting in the middle of the second row and when they utterly
faltered on stage about 9/11, I felt compelled to clarify reality for
them and yelled-

"9/11 was an inside job! It's not a War on Terrorism; it's a "War of
Terrorism" against the American people and the world. Bush and Cheney
should be impeached, go to jail and we should redirect resources from
killing and controlling people towards healing."

Brand and Rendon looked extremely distressed by my outburst and tried
to change the subject as soon as possible.

Apparently, the numbers in the audience were not nearly as important to
them as to the numbers of people the event would reach via the
internet, the whole thing- video and audio will be available online.

When it comes to facts and spin, it does seem pretty obvious that the
US Government, Rendon, the transnational elite, have already lost the
war for public opinion. Almost every move that they make worsens the
situation for the planet's inhabitants and destroys whatever husks of
legitimacy/credibility that they cling to, with the help of a bought
off press. I wonder if Rumsfeld will bring down the internet, try to
cut off "global communications" because the irrepressible discourse
between people noting reality and ripping apart the government lies,
propaganda, spin are such a powerful threat to them. (Pentagon document
outlines plan to take down global communications)

Brand at least hinted that those in power were nuts and might have
deceived themselves with their own propaganda, and queried Rendon on
how dissenting views of reality might pierce through the powerholders
psychological barriers. Rendon hinted that they weren't open to threats
upon their "self delusion/officially approved worldview/description of
the world that they were trying to force on the rest of the world."

Oddly enough, Rendon said he was an optimist and that he could imagine
world peace. I rather doubt, though, that I would buy his "peace"
anymore than I am buying the wars which he has been promoting these
past twenty years.

[Hal Womack 3-dan]

The several JJ's or joojingoes on this thread mirror the dementia that
Kathleen describes rather nicely below:

http://www.counterpunch.org/

By KATHLEEN CHRISTISON
former CIA analyst

Words fail; ordinary terms are inadequate to describe the horrors
Israel daily perpetrates, and has perpetrated for years, against the
Palestinians. The tragedy of Gaza has been described a hundred times
over, as have the tragedies of 1948, of Qibya, of Sabra and Shatila, of
Jenin -- 60 years of atrocity perpetrated in the name of Judaism. But
the horror generally falls on deaf ears in most of Israel, in the U.S.
political arena, in the mainstream U.S. media. Those who are horrified
-- and there are many -- cannot penetrate the shield of impassivity
that protects the political and media elite in Israel, even more so in
the U.S., and increasingly now in Canada and Europe, from seeing, from
caring.

But it needs to be said now, loudly: those who devise and carry out
Israeli policies have made Israel into a monster, and it has come time
for all of us -- all Israelis, all Jews who allow Israel to speak for
them, all Americans who do nothing to end U.S. support for Israel and
its murderous policies -- to recognize that we stain ourselves morally
by continuing to sit by while Israel carries out its atrocities against
the Palestinians.

A nation that mandates the primacy of one ethnicity or religion over
all others will eventually become psychologically dysfunctional.
Narcissistically obsessed with its own image, it must strive to
maintain its racial superiority at all costs and will inevitably come
to view any resistance to this imagined superiority as an existential
threat. Indeed, any other people automatically becomes an existential
threat simply by virtue of its own existence. As it seeks to protect
itself against phantom threats, the racist state becomes increasingly
paranoid, its society closed and insular, intellectually limited.
Setbacks enrage it; humiliations madden it. The state lashes out in a
crazed effort, lacking any sense of proportion, to reassure itself of
its strength.

The pattern played out in Nazi Germany as it sought to maintain a
mythical Aryan superiority. It is playing out now in Israel. "This
society no longer recognizes any boundaries, geographical or moral,"
wrote Israeli intellectual and anti-Zionist activist Michel Warschawski
in his 2004 book Towards an Open Tomb: The Crisis of Israeli Society.
Israel knows no limits and is lashing out as it finds that its attempt
to beat the Palestinians into submission and swallow Palestine whole is
being thwarted by a resilient, dignified Palestinian people who refuse
to submit quietly and give up resisting Israel's arrogance.

We in the United States have become inured to tragedy inflicted by
Israel, and we easily fall for the spin that automatically, by some
trick of the imagination, converts

Israeli atrocities to examples of how Israel is victimized. But a
military establishment that drops a 500-pound bomb on a residential
apartment building in the middle of the night and kills 14 sleeping
civilians, as happened in Gaza four years ago, is not a military that
operates by civilized rules.

A military establishment that drops a 500-pound bomb on a house in the
middle of the night and kills a man and his wife and seven of their
children, as happened in Gaza four days ago, is not the military of a
moral country.

A society that can brush off as unimportant an army officer's brutal
murder of a 13-year-old girl on the claim that she threatened soldiers
at a military post -- one of nearly 700 Palestinian children murdered
by Israelis since the intifada began -- is not a society with a
conscience.

A government that imprisons a 15-year-old girl -- one of several
hundred children in Israeli detention -- for the crime of pushing and
running away from a male soldier trying to do a body search as she
entered a mosque is not a government with any moral bearings. (This
story, not the kind that ever appears in the U.S. media, was reported
in the London Sunday Times. The girl was shot three times as she ran
away and was convicted to 18 months in prison after she came out of a
coma.)

Critics of Israel note increasingly that Israel is self-destructing,
nearing a catastrophe of its own making. Israeli journalist Gideon Levy
talks of a society in "moral collapse."

Michel Warschawski writes of an "Israeli madness" and "insane
brutality," a "putrefaction" of civilized society, that have set
Israel on a suicidal course. He foresees the end of the Zionist
enterprise; Israel is a "gang of hoodlums," he says, a state
"that makes a mockery of legality and of civil morality. A state run
in contempt of justice loses the strength to survive."

As Warschawski notes bitterly, Israel no longer knows any moral
boundaries -- if it ever did. Those who continue to support Israel, who
make excuses for it as it descends into corruption, have lost their
moral compass.

Middle East issues for 30 years. She is the author of Perceptions of
Palestine and The Wound of Dispossession. She can be reached at

So, what are the other Seven Billion of us going to do about it? I have
advanced several proposals already.
