Cabal – a group of people united in some close design together, usually to promote their private views or interests, often by intrigue.

Observing the cabal of arrogant “business leaders” known loosely as the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and SCDC and the Port of Coos Bay and following its secret meetings and almost rote, text book strategies trying to convert public sentiment supporting LNG exports somehow reminded me of Colin Powell, (whom I still like despite of allowing himself to be used to sell non-existent WMDs to the American people), during the first Gulf War. Powell was being badgered mercilessly by an unrelenting press desperate for details about the military’s plans for invading Iraq that Saddam Hussein would no doubt have loved to have heard on the nightly news. Clearly exasperated as he was chased down the hall after leaving a JSOC meeting, Powell turned to the press and offered them a basic course outline of War 101.

“First you secure the perimeter”, he offered as if he were talking to a classroom of children. “Then you cut off supply lines and take out communications. Next you breach the interior and neutralize key enemy military assets…” What he didn’t get to that day in this paraphrased primer on war is the second phase of an occupation which typically includes psychological operations. Psyops as they are called “…are planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals”. The key here being the conveyance of selective information, (as in information that is false by virtue of omission), in order to carry out the self serving objectives of the cabal which is in turn willingly and easily manipulated by foreign consultants paid for by Canadian owned Jordan Cove LNG.

Right now, Coos County working class citizens are under full scale attack by hired operatives like Pilot Strategies in Portland which amongst other services helps “build support for your business, engage the media and public with a positive story…” Basically, a handful of locals possessed of such enormous hubris that they meet in secret because they believe only they have the power to fix Coos County even though many of these same individuals have had a hand in every multimillion dollar disaster in the last twenty years are colluding with hired guns from as far away as Washington DC to sell the average citizen on liquefied natural gas. Don’t be surprised if you see helicopters dropping leaflets along with food care packages soon.

Part of psyops is to control the narrative and to that end the cabal has initiated the local bullhorn editor into its fold singing. (literally), praises to the latest economic savior, LNG. As part of controlling the narrative cabal matron, Sandy Messerle has tried to silence the voices of volunteers manning the cameras for the local public access station and the station’s CEO, FRank Williams was one of those invited to attend the secret psyops strategy meeting last week and who passively participated in the eviction of Wim de Vriend.

Along with controlling the media it is necessary to infiltrate positions of influence through organizations like community action, city counsels and port and county commissions. While I had been hopeful of trusting both John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins to make decisions without regard to influence from the cabal despite their willingness to accept campaign contributions from the cabal backed CCAP I am less confident each day that this is possible. Both commissioners are deeply enmeshed in the cabal culture that condones dishonest psyop tactics and are ideologically and rhythmically aligned with the public front, the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.

The best way to combat psychological operations is to stay informed, question all claims made without valid citation and demand the media do its job properly.
