Pentagon used psychological operation on US public, documents show | Raw Story — Read this whole thing and watch your hair stand on end. Dynamite story and another indictment of the mainstream media and its stooges.
A months-long review of documents and interviews with Pentagon personnel has revealed that the Bush Administrations military analyst program — aimed at selling the Iraq war to the American people — operated through a secretive collaboration between the Defense Departments press and community relations offices.Raw Story has also uncovered evidence that directly ties the activities undertaken in the military analyst program to an official US military document’s definition of psychological operations — propaganda that is only supposed to be directed toward foreign audiences.

I think the election of 2000 really was the end of the two political parties in general for me. I could understand why the Democrats ran Gore, but Bush? That’s the best the Republican party could do?
And the whole circus in Fla after was the icing on the cake.
But back on subject… Let’s not forget the biggest lie of them all: Colin Powell, who most people thought was a stand-up guy, drumming up support for invading Iraq at the UN.

Or Rumsfeld’s delusion of being able to invade a country with minute ground forces and our being welcomed as liberators.
I often wonder if this is a conspiracy or are these people just so isolated and unable to see a different perspective that they really believe in their hearts that they are right?
If it surprises you the MSM were involved in helping us “choose” to go to war then I’ve got some shocking news for you about the President…
“I don’t doubt that’s what he heard, but that’s not what I said,” Di Rita asserted.
Classic obfuscation.
We are so f’ed
I was never duped. I was bright enough even back in 1980 at 14 years old when I realized that Ronald Reagan was the first angel of death contributing towards the slow destruction of our Union.

I knew it was all down hill when LBJ told us everything was fine in Nam and Nixon said that there are difficulties but America could still prevail.
Reagan was never an issue. He slept through his admin. The power was in Bush, Ex-Director to the CIA Bush. Anyone who thought the CIA man would play second fiddle to an ex-actor come governor of California was dreaming or imbecilic. The only republican that had three terms in office, maybe five if he was helping W.

We all knew the embed stuff was and is BS. Hell, the military isn’t going to shed light on it’s skeletons now is it. Every damn agency, company and person in the world does damage control. That’s why liveleak can really open your eyes. Remember that nowthatsfuckedup.com site? Soldiers were uploading pictures of the gruesome shit that happens in a war and the sites owner got bamboozled and singled out for obscenity. Meanwhile, tons of other porn operators skated by.

I knew it was downhill when they assassinated Patton.

I knew it was downhill when we crested the hill.
I knew it was downhill as our raft floated on the currect.
I knew it was downhill when Romulus sucked the teats harder than Remus.
I knew it was downhill when the dinosaurs couldn’t outrun the fireball.
I knew it was downhill when the earth took on that crazy tilt and then wobbled.
I knew it was downhill when …
what a bunch of idiots. Why do Libertarians hate America?
Aw c’mon, you guys don’t really believe that this is some sort of isolated incident.!?
Wake up buttecup.
Where have you been John? This is an old story already reported on by multiple sources in the ‘net media. I bet you could find it on Huffington, DailyKOS, TomPaine or TalkingPointsMemo – or since you’re a journalist, Lexus/Nexus.
Seriously, there were so many deliberate violations of the law under Shrub that if anyone with legal chutzpah wanted to, they could put nearly every one of his officials put on trial and in prison. Reconciliation is BS; put them up on charges and on trial now.
Bush could never hold a candle to the government-media publicity machine of the FDR era.
Balloon boy was a psyop (or maybe, a very extreme case of synchronicity)
