May 5, 2005Watching our Main Stream Media SquirmIt is fascinating to watch America's Main Stream Media's inability to admit their complicity in Bush's rush to war in Iraq. Now that we know he cooked the books - to get re-elected? - how else do we explain our MSM's failure to report on the official, state secret, smoking gun recently revealed in England? If it is not their fear of having to admit their complicity, what explains their silence? Their cognitive dissonance must be excruciating. Published on Wednesday, May 4, 2005 by TomPaine.comProof Bush Fixed The Facts by Ray McGovern "Intelligence and facts are being fixed around the policy." Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would see those words in black and white—and beneath a SECRET stamp, no less. For three years now, we in Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) have been saying that the CIA and its British counterpart, MI-6, were ordered by their countries' leaders to "fix facts" to "justify" an unprovoked war on Iraq. More often than not, we have been greeted with stares of incredulity.----- snip This new devlopment also raises the very serious question of how should we look at all our elected representatives who voted for the war? Dupes? Do we want a dupe as president? From either party? Here is the actual memo as published in the Sunday Times.

Finally the proof that those who have been claiming this all along have needed. Unfortunately it is too late to affect the Bush re-election and might not even affect Blair's... Liars should not be re-elected...it would have been more acceptable, but obviously less practical, to have come out and stated the real motivation. At least then you get credit for your honesty. Posted by: Dylan Barrell at May 5, 2005 3:55 PMI can understand the need for secrecy in certain circumstances but deliberate deceit and outright lies for the sole purpose of furthering the agenda of a selfish, self-centered cabal is treasonous in my humble opinion. Thus, the reason for a New American Order. Organize. Throw the out the jerks. Let’s get people in office who care about this country and all other citizens of the world. Yes, there is evil and there are threats-economic and physical; but for Christ’s sake can’t we strive for win/win outcomes instead of deadly, selfish ones? Post a comment
