JERICHO: WHAT IS CBS DOING HERE? EXPOSING ISRAEL?

Theresa told me to watch a short video on the Jericho webpage. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I hope someone can figure out how to download this and save it in case the ruling Elite orders CBS to remove it.

What you will here is a private security company, Blackwater... was hired by someone in New Orleans during Katrina... Blackwater beat FEMA to New Orleans -- Their initial response was a paramilitary response... they had heavily armed guys with flak jackets... These men were former delta, green berets...

Also during Katrine, private citizens hired Israeli commandos to operate a check point on a private street... Wealth Americans hired private security force... FROM ISRAEL... to protect them from American citizens.

You have to SEE this to believe it!!

What you will watch on this report is an actual news report... that has been incorporated into the episodes of Jericho.

If you are NOT watching Jericho... you NEED to spend this weekend watching ALL the episodes... they are online. If you don't even know what it's about... it's about a small town in the aftermath of about 9 nuclear attacks on America.

The series is dealing with ALL the things that people will have to face if we lose our governments... at all levels... and our country.

If you have real player installed, the video will take about a minute or two to load... depending on your connection. You will at first see a short ad... then you will be taken into what appears to be a promo for the series... but THEN the promo changes to an actual news report!!

One of the things that is talked about are the symbols -- aka codes that FEMA and the private security forces put on houses to tell others who come after them what was found in the house... and where the team ahead of them has gone. These codes were part of last week's episode.

You really need to find the time to watch Jericho!!
I checked out the CBS website and read the About section of the show. From what is said, the show revolves more around the aftermath of the attacks on a small town in Kansas and is more character driven then event-driven and deals more with the psychological and social impacts of a nuclear attack across the country. Here's the summary of the show, according to CBS.

JERICHO is a drama about what happens when a nuclear mushroom cloud suddenly appears on the horizon, plunging the residents of a small, peaceful Kansas town into chaos, leaving them completely isolated and wondering if they're the only Americans left alive. Fear of the unknown propels Jericho into social, psychological and physical mayhem when all communication and power is shut down. The town starts to come apart at the seams as terror, anger and confusion bring out the very worst in some residents. Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich), prodigal son of the town's mayor, becomes a reluctant hero when a school bus crashes as a result of the explosion. Mayor Johnston Green (Gerald McRaney) is conflicted with the return of his estranged son, but is called to action when the town begins to riot. Johnston's wife, Gail (Pamela Reed), is the strong, savvy first lady of the town who runs interference between her husband and her favorite son. Attempting to usurp the mayor's power is Johnston's political adversary, Gray Anderson (Michael Gaston), who is not above putting his personal agenda before the welfare of the very community he wants to lead.

Though the cloud appears in the distance, it affects all the residents in Jericho, including Dale Turner (Erik Knudsen), the 16-year-old trailer park kid everybody picks on, who finds himself in a position that could change his status; Robert Hawkins (Lennie James), a mysterious stranger who seems to be a jack-of-all-trades as he steps in to help restore order; Heather Lisinski (Sprague Grayden), a pretty young schoolteacher on the bus with her students returning from a class trip when the glare from the explosion causes a terrible accident; Emily Sullivan (Ashley Scott), Jake's high school sweetheart who lives outside of town and innocently goes about her business unaware of the catastrophe, Bonnie Richmond (Shoshannah Stern), a pretty 17-year-old who is hearing impaired; and Bonnie's older brother Stanley (Brad Beyer), Jake's best friend from childhood and an avid car lover who works on the family farm. In this time of crisis, as sensible people become paranoid, personal agendas take over and well-kept secrets threaten to be revealed, some people will find an inner strength they never knew they had, and the most unlikely heroes will emerge.
As you can see they're trying to market it as a kind of more intense soap opera/human drama in the back drop of Armageddon (and with a name like Jericho, well, they don't exactly beat around the bush do they?). It seems to follow the line of films dealing with Nuclear armageddon that came out during the cold war especially in the 80s with movies like The Day After, and so forth.

Obviously the show's website doesn't mention anything about FEMA, Israelis and other things we in the Alt News community have been talking about Post-Sept. 11th, and having never watched the show I can't tell if what Rayleon is saying is in fact the case.

But assuming what Rayleon says is true then that seems to open up the proverbial can of worms doesn't it? Afterall, anyone remember that episode of the Lone Gunman where a remote controlled airplane is to crash into the WTC to start a war against Arabs? Then a couple of months later, "everything changes?"

Anybody also recall a couple of weeks ago there was that warning of about a dozen nuclear dirty bombs that was to go off at football games across the US on a sunday and that it was supposedly a "hoax" perpetrated by some young guy in Wisconsin or thereabouts? Remember how Alex Jones was going on about how it was a desperate ploy by the Neocons who are desperate for such an attack to occur? Me thinks that, like with the phony terror plots of last summer, it's all psyops to condition people to think about such events occuring and to get them used to the idea that THEY WILL occur. On a metaphysical level you could go on about the mass unconsciousness directing its attention to these events to 'energize' them into reality...or something like that I'm not quite clear on the technical aspects of it.

The FEMA/Israelis/9 nuclear bombs going off factor is very important to consider and, while we shouldn't overanalyze the darn thing (it is just a dumb show afterall) when we take it into account with everything else suddenly it doesn't become 'just another dumb show.' I hardly doubt that CBS is trying to "out" the Israelis and I can only assume that this is part of the psyop to get Americans used to the idea, and accept the "inevitability", of mushroom clouds, FEMA stormtroopers, and all that jazz. This wouldn't be the first time since I recall there was a movie in the early 80s about a nuclear bomb being smuggled into Charleston, SC and detonated, then in 2005 we have that scenario dangerously close to occuring (or so they say).

And given that the Lone Gunman show played a couple of months before the actual event occured, it makes you wonder if not another time cycle is at hand...?
 
I have seen most of the episodes of this show (only because it is available as free on-demand programming with no commercials - or at least that's my excuse for watching this kind of garbage ;) ).

Except for the name of the TV series, there is no Israel connection whatsoever. There is mention of FEMA, and they are not portrayed in a positive way. FEMA is shown to be stretched too thin and unable to provide adequate emergency services. Also, FEMA has contracted a mercenary group like Blackwater to provide security services. This mercenary group is shown to be reckless and without any real FEMA oversight. Basically, the private mercenary group is shown to be only interested in forcibly taking supplies and food that they need - they are shown as psycho renegades with better weapons than the population.

No blame has yet been established as far as who detonated the nuclear weapons, but I'll bet it will end up being those crazy Islamofascists. Also, the nukes that were detonated were not "dirty bomb" types but the full-strength kind. Apparently the bad guys were able to smuggle 9 full-sized nuclear devices into the country.

So this television show could be a form of social conditioning. It's good for a laugh because of the positive / wishful thinking spin it has on it. It is not supposed to reflect reality in the wake of a nuclear attack (at least I hope not).
 
A couple curiosities about this show. I watched the episodes and wondered where it was going because it started to become clear that it was both exposing and yet justifying group-based self-serving values, and seemingly okaying vigilante violence on the part of sympathetic characters. Nothing really special or different about that except that it seemed to be so extreme on both sides. Of interest, though, it finally did show that the nuclear attacks were an "inside job" perpetrated by government-connected elites through covert intelligence agencies, and it portrayed a Blackwater-like mercenary organization as being deployed in the USA and using deceit and violence to take everything they could for themselves. Oddly, I read more than once that it was declared "a hit" (though I didn't happen to see any ratings data), yet it was canceled with something like a half-dozen more episodes already in the can.

Nuclear bombs, however, aren't exactly the healthiest way to effect population reduction.

Hey, some positive news, this season's "24," famous for stirring up jingoistic fervor, is delayed and may even be scrapped due to the Hollywood writers strike!

I admit I haven't had the pleasure of watching Jericho...but last week I decided to see what all the 'LOST' fuss was about and picked up season 2 and season 3. Now there we have some MAJOR social conditioning going on. With the button pushing and the veiled references to aliens, the capturing of the general feeling of malaise...smh. I'm almost finished season 3 (skipped most of season 2, it was terrible) and I think I need to finish watching season 3 to comment clearly on it...but from what I see so far it's like, wow, so this is what so many people are so absorbed in while the world is falling to pieces? Unbelievable.
 
I watched a few episodes of 'Jericho' to see what it was about.
I suppose it's possible that one could watch every minute of every episode and come away with a lot of valuable, valid observations. One might sense a benevolent orientation in terms of showing people a lifestyle appropriate to a nuclear aftermath. One might even sense a malevolent orientation in terms of the aspects of social conditioning for a post-holocaust lifestyle.
For me personally, I just see its value in terms of being just one more in a chain of such tv dramas and movies designed, perhaps, to simply condition us to mentally accepting the eventual possibility.


edit - oops! eventual 'possibility' was intended to mean 'eventual reality' - I guess the 'possibility' is always there.
 
I've watched the entire show - yeah, at some moments in my life, I was very bored - and I didn't see a connection between the show and the FEMA and/or the Israelis. The plot didn't expose anything, the attacks were and inside job and that's all.

I couldn't recommand you to watch this show : it sucks. As a huge fan of the Fallout games serie, I was expecting some kind of cool surviving-oriented show, but "Jericho" is more like "Little house in the Wastelands", with a lot of patriotic bullcrap that I didn't really understand because I'm french. And the Blackwater -Ravenwood in the show- guys aren't so tough or "psycho renegades", a whole squad are killed by a deaf girl with her granpa's rifle.

:lol: Oh my god! I am laughing so hard because :lol: the only reason I watched it is because I was a huge fallout fan, too, and I tend to watch anything vaguely post-apocalyptic. I think the munitions factory in the opposing town was just lke a Fallout:Tactics mission.

It is a waste of time to watch when you could be doing research, participating on this forum, or watching Firefly instead ;D It was however interesting that the nuclear terrorist attack that paralysed the US because of its size was orchestrated by the head of Homeland Security with the help of the Blackwater-like company. Anything that actually casts the military-industrial complex in a bad light that appears in the main-stream media is somewhat novel for the masses.
