Arab Nations Hire 10 New PR Agencies Since Last Year – PR Firms Assist In Selling Terror And Brutality


The U.S. Public Relations industry is one which is very high profile, but is a tiny, close knit industry, with only perhaps 75 American PR firms having more than 50 employees (i.e. enough scope/influence to represent a foreign government or foreign interests). Over lunch this week, one of my peers, who like me, owns 1 of the 25 largest US PR Agencies explained why his firm would no longer work with Jewish organizations and Pro-Israel concerns. He explained there is simply too much money working for Arab organizations and interests, and between front groups, organizations and projects from a business perspective he was no longer working for Pro-Israel or Jewish organizations. It’s a trend which will grow – and will see Arab interests even more positively portrayed in American media. 
    In the latest news, Bahrain in the last 12 months has hired at least ten public relations companies since last year. Yes, you read it right – 10 – including Qorvis, the Washington company hired by Saudi Arabia to salvage that kingdom's reputation abroad after the 9/11 terrorist attack. The regime of Bahrain which tortures its own citizens has an awful human rights record and doesn’t recognize the existence of Israel, also hired Joe Trippi, former campaign manager for Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential bid, Sanitas International, whose partner Christopher Harvin is a former Bush White House aide.

Pastorious, I have a question for you or for anybody willing to answer.

Isn't this treason? These business firms are helping infiltrate the country and deceive Americans. When can someone be charged with treason? I trust that "business is business" does not apply in cases like this.

Would a citizen's arrest be appropriate? Would it call enough attention to the traitors to make them to cease and desist in their immoral dealings?

I may sound naive, but I'm a foreign born American, and in spite of what many Americans may think, you have an awesome legal system. You don't know what's out there... The system is set to be used. The problem are the people, mostly those who started operating during the last two decades (remember aggressive/creative accounting?) for whom rules/regulations and ethic behaviour are quite flexible.

Would treason apply here?

Yeah, I think it is Treason. But, I have looked up the laws on Treason/Sedition and have found that we never actually prosecute anyone under those laws.

No one.

These guys could dodge a charge of treason EASILY, after all no less that Sec State and Genl Marshall took the arab side as being to the benefit of the USA in 1947-48, and then resigned when Harry told him he intended to recognize Israel immediately
