Latest White House-Produced Propaganda “West Wing Week” Video
Here is the latest edition of “West Wing Week,” a White House-produced propaganda-style video that reviews President Obama’s week and touts the administration’s accomplishments.
To me, it has the feel of state-run TV you might see in some Third World Banana Republic. It’s one thing for the White House to release photos or raw video of events, but the way this is put together with narration gives it a really creepy feel that is unprecedented for a Presidential Administration.
The message control is rankling many in the media:
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel ZippersThe Wasington Post:The message-control issue flared again this week when the White House posted its own video interview with Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, bypassing reporters who have been seeking to interview her.
White House officials deny that they are attempting to end-run reporters. In fact, they say such initiatives as “West Wing Week” are evidence of greater candor. “These videos are just one part of the president’s effort to have the most transparent White House in history,” said Nick Shapiro, a spokesman, who added that “West Wing Week” “is yet another way for people to get a better sense of what’s happening at the White House and why.”
The White House wouldn’t make Chaudhary, the videographer, available for an interview. But in a statement issued through Shapiro, he said the videos are “written, produced and edited by me.” Chaudhary, a former film professor at New York University who extensively documented Obama’s presidential campaign, added: “As the official White House videographer it’s my job to document the president’s activities, in motion pictures, for history. Though not as extensive as the still picture record of the president’s routine, I found that every week I had a lot of interesting clips that couldn’t really stand on their own but did when collected together and shown in context of the president’s schedule. West Wing Week is essentially the vehicle for these moments. It’s almost as if our flickr site could talk.” . . . MORE
Hitler would be proud of this product. Propaganda for the masses. Unreal.
I would be astonished if it is true that “The message control is rankling many in the media” for any other reason than the “media” wants to think they control the news, which they never did in this country, really.
What concerns me far more is what is happening generally in our country. We have a president we know nothing about and his minions and proposed minions are equally lacking any background. But all seem to have the same idealogy of Obama.
When I first heard of Obama in the presidential primaries, my first (and still) reaction to him was “this man’s evil to the core”. I called him Barack “Adolph” Obama among other things. Even the Antichrist.
But I must confess. Obama is not Hitler. At the core, Hitler did not want to destroy Germany. He wanted Germany and the Aryan race to rule the world.
Obama is completely different. Obama wants the complete destruction of the United States of America. Get that? The TOTAL DESTRUCTION of our country, not leading the world, but in bed with the worst totalarian regimes everywhere and to enslave “The People”.
Barack Obama has declared WAR on the United States of America and the American People.
We are fast reaching the tipping point where he wins and we lose, or we win and he loses. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a race to the finish line November 2, 2010.
At this point, I have to reluctantly say that it’s him or us. Obama has destroyed everything he has touched and now, sends out his brownshirts to terrorize a 14 year old with the help of the Washington, D.C. and Montgomery County Police Departments.
Obama has no background, no history. It is completely manufactured.
Everything is in place now for Obama to declare himself dictator. With few exceptions, the “Thin Blue Line” is now lost. State Secretaries of State and at least half of the State Attorneys General are lost to the regime. The courts are pretty much a joke now. Lawyers in dresses. Even the military is suspect now since he seems intent on sending all our military overseas where they cannot fight for “The People” or the Constitution at home.
See how fast this has happened? 14 months. With the help and complicity of the majority of congress.
Where do we go from here? First, protect yourself, protect your assets, learn the Rule of Three at http://www.patricelewis.blogspot.com/ Preparedness 101. Second, pull as much of your cash out of banks and keep the cash in another safe place or in something that can be traded. Third, don’t “get involved”. Getting “involved” just puts a target on your back when they come to get you. Instead make cooperative relationships with your neighbors. Form local self-help and self-protection associations. This is a start.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t get involved in the tea party movement. I’m saying know your friends and potential enemies and above all else, protect your family first, your livelihood second and then follow your politics.
One thing I learned in the 60’s, when I became a target of our beloved government, is that they are so much bigger and more powerful than we are, fighting a violent war with them is futile other than to harass them. Winning a war like the one Obama & Co., Inc. is waging on us means working locally and protecting our families and livelihoods and making ourselfes self-sufficient.
And then, be prepared, there are other, even more destructive events on the horizon coming our way that will make self-preservation the ONLY concern in our lives.
Great Post RB,
If you go back over time Obama did leak in his appearances and speeches what his intensions were and many just didn’t see it. The point of having the military out of the country is one to look at, he does have a timeframe to get them back here…prior to the 2012 election. It’ would be funny that he takes up the border issue in 2011… will it be to keep illegals out or to keep us in?
The video and of itself is not a problem for me; the fact that it is the ONLY source of info is the creepy, chilling part. And the complete arrogance (ignorance?!) on display in calling this proof of the administration’s dare I say unprecedented transparency is actually nauseating.
How do they not get that by not allowing any other interviews, they are the exact OPPOSITE of open and transparent? How does a president who hasn’t given a press conference in almost a year even get to utter the word “open”?
This admin is so steeped in BS, I would actually be amazed if anyone actually bothers to waste their time watching this propaganda..except the drones. It’s probably being pumped into the schools as “current events”, that’s a real problem and pure indoctrination if it is.
Thank you Jack. I am deeply, deeply worried at where this is all going and the incredibly fast pace at which it is moving. Obama is Chavez on steroids.
When will the witch hunts begin? Enemies of the State.
How soon will Obama be replaced? The enemy of The People and the Constitution.
His war is not the physical destruction of the buildings and roads in this country. It is far worse, far more insidious and evil. It is the destruction of our freedom, our incentives, our families, our health, our welfare, our protection from enemies, our police, our military, our free press (or what’s left of it) and our Constitution, that they ignore and trash with impunity, arrogance and contempt.
Whether or not the people of this country have the clarity, strength and ability to fight this man today does not matter in this way. The war is inevitable. They will be faced with this war sooner or later now matter how long they hide their heads in the sand. One wonders what the world would be like today if Hitler did not live to see WWII? What if he had won? What if Obama wins? Would it be any different?
Then rebuilding the country will be the same as rebuilding Japan and Germany after WWII with one major excepti0n: we have to do it. No one is going to help US this time.
The rule of Obama must be brought to an end if we are to survive as a nation.
Truly creepy.
It’s mediocre propaganda at best with few views on You Tube. I guess their pr dept must justify its existence somehow with its bloated staff.
Washington is spelled wrong.
Leni Riefenstahl would be so proud…
Still have done nothing to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf. Passing some new restrictions on emissions and MPG though. Maybe of AQ sets of a nuke Obama will quickly get some nuclear emissions controls through Congress.
kansas -
Think the same topic. Why is it that the Obama administration has done absolutely nothing of any consequence to protect the wetlands of Louisana that are now inundated with oil?
The Obama government was completely unprepared for this disaster. They’ve had a month to do SOMETHING like position protective devices and floating dams in the Gulf and what does Obama do to hide his incompetence? He blames BP! He orders BP to fix it with his “boot on their neck”.
Obama NEVER takes responsibility for anything he does unless it advances his agenda or helps his propaganda machine.
Not only is this guy a marxist-statist-dictator, he’s completely incompetent as a leader and manager/administrator.
As long as Obama is around, no one and nothing is safe. God help us get rid of this man.
2 1/2 years to go. Then this shit’s history!
rae4palin,
I don’t give the country another 2.5 years of this constant Obamashit…we can’t last that long with Dems in Congress.
Coincidence? I think not:
Obama propaganda produced by a trusted Muslim:
The videos, created by official White House videographer Arun S. Chaudhary, also provide a few things the White House press corps doesn’t get to see. (irrelevant rubbish and trivia…)
(from the same WaPo article. How come nobody took notice?)
you are getting sleepy, very sleepy and when you wake up you will do as BO commands you too.. It is ok to steal and lie and distort fact as long as Im making your house payment , you owe me……sarc off

How about someone start a parody of the federal gov’t run propaganda?
Call it …West Wing WEAK.
God bless the internetand websites like WZ.
THEY don’t have total control yet and it just pisses them off. We can use that to our advantage.
Oh…and remember this: when it hits the fan…traitors first…then the enemy.
I wonder if they will be giving medals to Cops who don’t ask for potential illegal’s papers?/
