Here’s another example of a ‘well duh’ article that has many, many examples of how lies and deception are used to trick the gullible American public into thinking that we are fighting for noble causes.
Everyone knows that “truth is the first casualty of war”. And one of the most highly decorated American soldiers of all time said that “war is a racket”.
FBI agents and CIA intelligence officials, constitutional law expert professor Jonathan Turley, Time Magazine, Keith Olbermann and the Washington Post have all said that U.S. government officials “were trying to create an atmosphere of fear in which the American people would give them more power”. Indeed, the former Secretary of Homeland Security – Tom Ridge – admits that he was pressured to raise terror alerts to help Bush win reelection.
A former National Security Adviser told the Senate that the war on terror is “a mythical historical narrative”. In terms of a possible “why”, remember that psychologists and sociologists have demonstrated that fear of terrorism makes people stupid and easy to manipulate and control.
Makes one wonder about this article and this one.
What is it about alfie, he seems to really fixate on wieners and bottoms. Is he a republican or worse actually a member of the tea party?
Yeah I know its a rhetorical question. But he’s been awfully quiet lately.
Whats even better is he seems to be answering his own posts more and more frequently. Perhaps a change in his meds is needed as the voices are getting themselves confused.
Bobbo, my reaction exactly. All the article seems to show is that when you have a cabinet full of boys, student council president types, then you can expect ideas like this. Also, John Yoo’s false flag operation doesn’t belong on that list.
Mike–you crack me up. When the far left and the far right agree, can there be any doubt?
So, I’ll just wonder if calling something a stimulus that is mostly tax breaks and porkulus or if calling the voucherization of MediCare saving it while decreasing taxes for the rich is not a False Flag with all the noted attributes except its not “kinetic action.”
I love dat New Speak.

I didn’t say that was all of them. In fact I said there were many more. Even the few I posted got me flagged as link spam. Reading is fundamental, TeaDud.
#44 Eideard just proved my point…again, posting on what a Republican said about Iraq…
Not on the fiasco of salviating over emails that make Palin look good.
Not on the hypocrisy of saying “buy American” when that is precisely what the sayer didn’t do.
Not on the stupidity of Weiner
Nothing about Cowboy poetry.
Nothing about the NY Times G. Morgemson blaming DEMOCRATS for the financial collapse…
(That’s a big ommission there)
Etc.
No, a Republican says Iraq should repay us for some of the cost of nation building…and THAT gets blogged.
The total silence on Ann Coulter’s book Demonic is unprecedented… but predictable given the soundness of her exposition.
How else would a mob react?
Alfie–your complaint doesn’t make any sense unless its a foregone conclusion that any accurate quoting of Republicans makes them look silly…….oh, wait.
Nevermind.
$47 You illustrate Ann Coulter’s premise, democrats have demonic mob psychology dictating their thoughts and actions…
My simple point couldn’t break through Democratic sloganeering.
If your shorts joined Weiners online, I wont’ be surprised.
TeaDud, if you don’t like it here, maybe you should go find a blog more suited to your editorial tastes.
If you really believe that this site is a hotbed of liberal propaganda, then that makes you the moron for continuing to visit.
You’re an attention whore, so you’ll keep coming back to bay at the moon.
#49 If he left than the only person he could argue with would be himself as we are the only ones who no matter how little pay any attention to him.
It’s a “well duh” if you are an informed American.
But conservatives have never admitted (let alone apologized) that they terrorized America for their own political gain.
#51 ’cause when they do, the wicked witch of the west will be gone and the economy will be better and the wars will be over.
Vote the repuke president out of office.
Naive.
Not to worry. When the entire economy collapses we will get out of the middle east. No fuel to keep or support a force there.
That tea dud is so funny. He reminds me of Bachmann dripping santorum off her chin after conferring with Newt.

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
- Reich Chancellor Herman Goering
Tea Dude, I’m surprised this site managed to not post about Sarah Palin talking about Paul Revere warning the British. Perhaps your hectoring managed to convince them to move on.
When are some of you going to figure it out? neither party is any better than the other. Neither does what they say they will. Both serve big money and nothing more. Both the previous and present administrations are lying thru their teeth and carrying on the exact same policies. Stop getting sidetracked into this left/right party noise and focus on the real issue, the big money criminals that control both of them.
