DEATH OF ETHICAL JOURNALISM , CHEER LEADERS OF WAR , PROPAGANDA ARM OF MILITARY MACHINES , JULIAN ASSANGE , WIKI LEAKS , DIABOLICAL REPORTER SPIN DOCTORS WITH MILITARY CONTRACTS , VULGAR MANIPULATION OF REALITY BY JOURNALISTS, TRUTH THE FIRST CASUALITY IN MODERN WAR , COWBOYS AND RIDING POSSE WHO DECIMATE SELF CREATED OUTLAWS - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL
FIRST THINGS FIRST-- CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW TO SEE HOW THE MEDIA HAVE BECOME WHORES, FOR BIG BROTHER.
During the Iraq war, US soldiers took a band of Kuwaitis and "their type" of local civilians , and pulled down the statue of Saddam Hussian in Firdos square of Baghdad.
And then their stooges started kicking , beating with shoes and spitting on the statue. This visual was shown on CNN every 4 minutes 23 seconds on an average-- indicating that the war was over. Later it was revealed by long range still that there were only 184 souls there in the HUGE square, out of which quite a few were embedded reporters.
What is interesting is Saddam's information minister would not come on TV anymore with his pep speech--as a quid pro quo. ( this minister was NOT punished like the rest ).
EMBEDDED JOURNALISTS reported how cheering and clapping Iraqis danced on the streets of Baghdad -- all lies of the first order.
Most of these cheering videos were already taken in friendly Arab countries, by US military using local Arabs dressed up as Iraqis. This was witnessed by expatriate workers .
The Iraqi war was won with a single "rigged " episode.
The Iraqi war was won with a single "rigged " episode.
These propaganda videos and "embedded reporter " lies were aired on all Zionist held media , who hold TOTAL monopoly today.
We become slaves the moment we hand over the keys to the definition of reality, entirely over to a single Zionist entity - who controls world news media , TV and Hollywood .
And then in the Libyan war, a rebel with a “gold plated gun” saunters past, an “embedded reporter” . We are supposed to believe that it is Gaddafi’s gun. This means the lion’s den is compromised. How sweet!
Now I want you to watch some Iraqi "reality" videos. These are NOT stage managed lies.
These are NOT propaganda videos made like Hollywood films, where Chuck Norris type macho men in uniform cry ‘GO, GO, GO’, with guns and blanks-- and the sound of terrific explosions.
These videos show the naked truth.
The doctored videos were later perused by experts, and to their horror, they noticed that doctors and patients had been handcuffed to their beds.
So was the " FAKE reality show" of the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, with self inflicted bullet holes on doors and walls. Jessica was neither stabbed nor shot-- she had just crashed her own Humvee and then fell unconscious.
Initially she played along with the lies, and then when she got totally exposed, confessed the shameful truth. BRAVO!!
Initially she played along with the lies, and then when she got totally exposed, confessed the shameful truth. BRAVO!!
BLAH BLAH -- front-page account in The Washington Post of April 3 about Pfc. Jessica Lynch: How she "fought fiercely and shot several enemy soldiers" after Iraqis ambushed her company, "firing her weapon until she ran out of ammunition," how she "continued firing at the Iraqis even after she sustained multiple gunshot wounds and watched several other soldiers in her unit die around her," how she was "fighting to the death," how "she did not want to be taken alive."
The “daring” assault had been carried out in a hospital swarming with Fedayeen, Saddam Hussein’s paramilitary martyrs brigade. Braving repeated fire, US Special Forces had retrieved private Jessica who was said to be suffering from stab and bullet wounds and who was being maltreated. -- BLAH BLAH

Some TV channels reported that Jessica Lynch had sustained some of her gun wounds whilst held captive as part of a brutal Saddam’s regime of interrogation.
General Vincent Brooks, the US spokesman in Doha, declared, “ Our breave hearts put their lives on the line to make this happen, loyal to a creed that they know that they’ll never leave a fallen comrade.” SNIFF!
The truth was Jessica baby was treated with utmost kindness and care. She was assigned to the only specialist bed in the hospital, ( after unceremoniously shifting out a gravely wounded Iraqi ) and one of only two Iraqi nurses on the floor, medical staff had even given blood to help her due to a shortage.
Iraqi Doctor Harith al-Houssona said that the medical staff had tried to help Lynch baby escape two days before the US snatch team arrived, placing her in an ambulance and instructing the Iraqi driver to take her to a US checkpoint.
The driver had to retreat back to the hospital, however, when he came under heavy fire from American troops. The US counter charge is the SOB Iraqi driver demanded 10,000 US dollars bribe, for giving information about Jessica --while she actually was inside the ambulance..
Then the Iraqi military offered to free her, because she was a woman. But news of this Iraq humanity and magnanimity would have damaged US propaganda credibility, and so it went into deaf ears.

Welcome to the disgraceful world of Zionist media reporting!!
A few vernacular ones like KTV where they show their rival Chief Jayalalita dancing with founder MGR in Tamil movies ( 4 decades ago ) are exempted from this generalization.
It was only then, that Americans and the world realized that all this Rambo type Hollywood action movie stunts with jumping , crouching , “follow me “ shouts , breaking down doors with one single kick etc was all a VULGAR and IMMORAL lie .
Whither honor?
Have you read between the lines of the US Presidential debate? Both Obama and Mitt Romney were desperate to declare, who prays more for Israel -- and who will be the first to have "daylight" between the tight USA/ Israel embrace. Such is the power of AIPAC, the US Central banking cartel and the Zionist monopolised media and TV !
And the percentage of Jews in USA is hardly 2%. Is the balance 98% stupid ?
Embedded reporters and journalists have lost all credibility. Today NO honest and self respecting journalist is willing to describe himself as 'embedded.' To say that , it shows automatically, that he is a PIMP of the first order , and a man without morals and ethics.
None of the embedded reporters reported the genocide-- nay war crime , on HIGHWAY 80.
In compliance with UN Resolution 660, Iraqi forces began their withdrawal from Kuwait on February 26, 1991. Saddam Hussein proactively announced this on Baghdad radio the same day and eye witnesses in Kuwait confirmed that Iraqi forces were leaving that afternoon.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater declared that US forces would NOT attack the Iraqi forces in retreat, as they were doing so in compliance with UN resolution 660 of 2nd Aug 1990 .
Saddam Hussain made the mistake of trusting President Bush and AIPAC controlled agency UN , and did NOT take any hostages from Kuwait with him.
When Saddam Hussain's elite troops were withdrawing from Kuwait, with a UN sponsored white flag --they bombed the first and last trucks of the 60 miles long convoy, effectively boxing them into a huge traffic jam , and making them sitting ducks -- and decimated them with Napalm, Phosphorus incendiary bombs, outlawed under 1977 Geneva protocol.
They finished off the job from air and from land. Mechanized artillary units were in ambush overlooking from nearby hills. The whole job was quick and calculated, and apparently cannot be done without direct sanction from President Bush.
A huge percentage of them were half alive, we are talking about several thousands, when waiting bulldozers ( tanks specially fitted with bulldozer blades ) operated by mercenaries shoved them into more than 50 huge ready made large ditches on the road side and covered them with sand.
60 long miles of double line convoy of 2100 trucks laden with soldiers who have wives and children. No clues! Deceit , most foul. Yes, from the champions of liberty and justice!
One pilot in tears on TV said, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. Later, all those involved in this cowardly operation developed psychological problems.
For 60 miles every vehicle was strafed or bombed, every windshield lay shattered, every tank was burned, every truck was riddled with shell holes.
Soldiers crying out in pain--some running helter-skelter , with own bodies burning.
A MAD KILLING FIELD OF UN-BELIEVABLE DIMENSION.
General Schwarzkopf smugly estimated that 100,000 Iraqi soldiers had been eliminated. The sheer amount of explosive tonnage dropped over Iraq exposes the bull of surgical strikes.
Air Force General McPeak, Air Force commanding general, proudly proclaimed, “Probably the first time in history that a field army has been defeated by air power,”.
Bush would declare later that he is proud of the high ethical integrity of his military, while the entire world was in utter shock and disbelief over the blood-curdling evidence of a huge war crime on Iraqi Highway 80, worse than anything Hitler ever did ( supposed to have done actually- for this is the truth exposing Internet age ).
This is NOT the first time such a BREACH OF TRUST and breach of Geneva convention is happening. It happens every time a joint USA / ISRAEL venture takes place.
Punch into Google search GENERAL EISENHOWER'S SECRET HOLOCAUST- VADAKAYIL.
As a direct consequence of the foul and cowardly Anglo-American led invasion, a million Iraqis have died. This figure from Opinion Research Business is based on peer-reviewed research led by Johns Hopkins University in Washington . This figure ( unlike the trumped up 6 million figure ) is rarely reported or presented to “charming” and “savvy” American generals rolling their Rs’ . Neither is the dispossession of four million Iraqis, the malnourishment of most Iraqi children, the epidemic of mental illness and the poisoning of the environment.
"Goebbels said the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it” .
America uses this as a policy. The Zionist held media is amazingly conformist and IN BED with the military and the vested politicians . We are living in an age of spin.
A key event in generating momentum for the first U.S. War on Iraq, “Operation Desert Storm” was a fraudulent report of the murder of Kuwaiti babies by Iraqi soldiers. On October 10, 1990, the U.S. Congressional Human Rights Caucus held a hearing on the subject of Iraqi human rights violations.
The centerpiece of the event was the emotional testimony of a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name, Nayirah. Her full name was supposedly being kept secret to protect her from Iraqi reprisals. The girl relayed a shocking story while sobbing uncontrollably .
" I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital. While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where . . . babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die."
Above the lying girl -- lying through her teeth!! even a idiot can see from her body language that she is faking it.
The massacre never occurred. The lying girl Nayirah's last name was al-Ṣabaḥ and she was actually the daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. She was coached by the US public relations firm "Hill and Knowlton" to give persuasive false testimony. And she turned out to be terrific actress on debut.
For good measure, CNN's Nic Robertson, in the ramp up to Junior Bush's Iraq invasion, ran a story about evil Saddam Hussein testing poison gas on dogs, complete with an unsourced video of dogs dying inside cages. The tale turned out to be a complete fabrication.
In 1921, the famous American journalist Walter Lippmann said that the art of democracy requires what he called the “manufacture of consent.” This phrase is an Orwellian euphemism for thought control. The idea is that in a state such as the U.S. where the government can’t control the people by force, it had better control what they think. … Propaganda is to democracy what bludgeon violence is to totalitarianism.
The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” – “John Swinton, Chief of Staff New York Times at New York Press Club, 1953″
This is the naked truth about most modern journalism. When they first become a career media worker they start off with some values . Soon they start climbing the ladder, and then they prostitute themselves. It’s as common as it’s straightforward.
When you start off your play with a big ball—like a football , as your climb higher your balls get smaller , to a tennis ball size. When you reach the top level and your balls get really small like a golf ball. You become a stooge.

On the ship which I command, I do NOT allow a camera when disaster strikes. The camera has the tendency to make men out of mice and mice out of men. This is one times we our people to be true to themselves, without playing to the gallery. When you play to the gallery , when s#it hits the fan on a Chemical tanker, lives get lost.
Embedded journalism is all about selected and “ trained to lie “ news reporters being attached to military units involved in armed conflicts. It first came to be used in the media coverage of the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
At the start of the war in March 2003, as more than 700 reporters and photographers ( official count –actual were much more ) were traveling as embedded journalists. These reporters signed contracts with the US and British military . The stage was set to mislead and misinform the world during their war against Iraq — aided by these compliant “embedded” journalists.
When asked why the military decided to embed journalists with the troops, Lt. Col. Rick Long of the U.S. Marine Corps replied, "Frankly, our job is to win the war. Part of that is information warfare. So we are going to attempt to dominate the information environment." So it is about the US military wanting to get their own lies and black propaganda told.
As one US embedded reporter said “ We were a propaganda arm of the US government. At the start the censors enforced that, but by the end we were our own censors. We were the cheerleaders of a immoral and brutal war”.
There is NIL ethics in embedded journalism . It is just a lame propaganda campaign and an effort to keep reporters away from civilian populations . They want only “their type” of reporters who are sympathetic to invading the forces and prepared to lie and toe the line. It is a media circus.
Most of the embedded reporters were just plain scared of losing their jobs and being black balled for ever, for they could ill afford to take on the US military and the US government simultaneously. The traitor label is hard to erase , one it is stuck on you by a vindictive force. They submitted like prostitutes and converted themselves into stenographers instead of journalists. Feelings of camaraderie always affect a journalist's ability to be independent and objective.
It is high time every journalist is made to take an oath like how a doctor takes a Hippocratic oath. The Hippocratic Oath is an oath historically taken by doctors and physicians, swearing to practice medicine ethically and honestly.
Walter Rogers, from CNN, told that some of his colleagues had taken to wearing US military uniform, which they are NOT allowed to do. Some journalists even found themselves actively helping in the practical military effort.
They had little choice-who want to be DIS-embedded in the middle of a desert war. The embedded reporter cannot report the truth. Do you thing he could report a war crime?. He could get eliminated in "friendly fire". Ten journalists died in friendly fire. If an embedded journalist was to report unfavorably on coalition forces they were accompanying they would not get any cooperation. This means he had to report bravery and never cowardice—if he wanted to survive.
US military spokesman, Jim Wilkinson was blunt on his attitude to the “unilaterals” ( the ethical guys). “They were a pain in our rear a lot of times,” Wilkinson told a documentary. The “real superstars of this war were those media journalists who were embeds,” Wilkinson went on, boasting in a blunt manner , “General Franks signs my cheque and I make news based on his terms.”
Michael Wolff, from New York magazine, learnt the hard way when he asked Wilkinson some inconvenient questions during a press briefing. He snarled “ this is war, you a$$hole’. Don’t fu#k around with things you don’t understand ’. And then finally it was; ‘no more questions for you, why don’t you just fu#kin’ go home?’
“Where the embeds stuff were not enough, the US military would simply write their own imaginary reports, or shoot and edit their own films, and distribute it to news channels that would lap it up. Or they would simply lie” said one ex-embedded reporter.
In any case these embedded reports were piece meal reports like the seven blind men of Hindoostan who touched various parts of the elephant , and came up with their own stories without comprehending the big picture. None of them had the ability to pull back the lens, and go from microscope to telescope.
Cognitive scientists have found that the human brain works with frames and metaphors. Frames are in the synapses of our brains, in our neural circuitry. We don't think about facts; the mind switches to the way those facts are framed. Thus, framing the issue becomes all powerful in influencing our thought about it. Frames once entrenched are hard to dispel.
Metaphors were used by the U.S. military to frame the issues of American foreign policy in the Iraq War. One is to frame a nation as a person to justify a war against his people. In the case of Iraq, the evil person was Saddam Hussein. That individual becomes demonized in all the government's references.
Check out the demonization of Ahmadinejad. Assad, Gaddafi, Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Milosevic etc . The metaphor becomes part of an elaborate system of deceit. There will be friendly nations, hostile nations, rogue states, evil axis, our allies, and so forth.
In the "nation as person" metaphor, narratives assume a classic fairy-tale structure. The "self-defense story" and the "rescue story." The story always has a John Wayne type all American hero leading a riding posse , a heinous crime, and a evil outlaw. The villain is inherently evil and irrational. If the hero can't reason with the irrational villain, he has to decimate him—to sustain his and his allies way of life.
The self-defense story worked well in the Persian Gulf War. President George Bush claimed that evil Saddam with WMD was threatening our oil supply, our way of life. Then the "rape of virgin maiden Kuwait," led to the rescue story.
The self-defense story focused on Saddam's connection to Al Qaeda and terrorism, or the oft-proclaimed Weapons of Mass Destruction. The rescue story focused on saving the Iraqi people and bringing democracy and enduring freedom to the region.
As the Iraq war progressed and Weapons of Mass Destruction were not seen anywhere, the bullshit story line shifted from defense to emphasize rescue. The briefings at Central Command were used day after day during the fighting to report abuses by Saddam and his evil government, with chemical weapons.
(Remember, Gaddafi was reported to have distributed thousands of Viagra tablets to his horny troops, to make their hornier beats , to rape them poor virgin gals ) .
One theme was that Saddam's militias wore civilian clothes to ambush U.S. soldiers. Another was that the Iraq army was shooting civilians and terrorizing Iraqis to fight against their will. ( this is what is happening in Syria now ).
Bush used the term "crusade" in his post 9/11 speech in which he vowed to avenge the acts of terrorism and issued a warning to the "axis of evil." His military briefers continually blamed "Saddam's Fedayeen." A few days later, however, they stopped using "Fedayeen" because they learned in Arabic it means one who martyrs himself for a cause, a positive connotation, to get the key to paradise. So they started calling the Iraqis terrorists and death squads.
Documents were forged to show that Saddam Hussain was secretly importing uranium from Niger to Iraq. Stooges in the U.N. inspection team arranged for dozens of unverified and unverifiable intelligence reports and tips - data known as inactionable intelligence - to be funneled to M16 operatives and quietly passed along to major Zionist held newspapers.
America was reeling in the aftermath of 9/11, but anyone who focuses on intelligence in looking at foreign policy issues knew that Iraq didn’t have a dang thing to do with those heinous terrorist attacks on the twin towers. The general public was in a state of fear and the Bush Administration seizing upon that opportunity forced through Congress the purposefully vague Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) as well as the arguably prime facie unconstitutional Patriot Act.
The CIA reported in 2001 that the documents were forgeries – and that there was no evidence of Iraq attempting to obtain Uranium . Still, George W. Bush continued to use this discredited evidence in 2002 and 2003 as he beat the drums for war, despite knowing the information he was disseminating was false.Hey, how about the unfinished family business where papa Bush was threatened by Saddam , pissing of son Bush.
Then of course Saddam had WMD - nuclear, chemical, biological—the whole works!
As it had done in the Gulf War, the U.S. and U.K. governments rained down from the air tens of millions of Arabic language leaflets urging the Iraqis to abandon Saddam Hussein, or to lay down their arms, or telling them how to surrender, or where to tune into radio broadcasts from America.
When victorious troops rolled into Kuwait City at the end of the first war in the Persian Gulf, they were greeted by hundreds of Kuwaitis waving small American flags. The scene, flashed around the world on television screens, sent the message that U.S. Marines were being welcomed in Kuwait as liberating heroes.
Only a stupid moron will believe that all this is not a stage managed drama. How were the people of Kuwait City, after being held hostage for seven long and painful months, able to get their mangy hands on American flags? Oh , I see, they were air dropped in a big bag.
Amnesty International has made hollow sounds that the US bombing raid that destroyed Iraq’s civilian television studios may constitute a “war crime,” said one cannot kill civilian media workers and bomb a civilian media facility “simply because it is being used for the purposes of propaganda.”
Human Rights Watch also made hollow sounds and questioned the legality of the attack under international law. The International Federation of Journalists, representing 500,000 journalists worldwide, argued that the attack may have violated the Geneva Convention on warfare.
Iraqi TV may have been biased, while US TV may have been tellin’ the gospel truth, yet it was still not a military target.
By legitimizing the killing of journalists because of what they are reporting, the US has put all journalists in the world at risk of similar assassination. And this is not the first such American attack, for Bill Clinton ordered a similar bombing of Yugoslavian TV in Belgrade during the Kosovo War. US attacked the offices of Al-Jazeera in Kabul in 2001 and Baghdad in 2003.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon cited Clinton’s attack in Belgrade as the precedent when he ordered his troops to attack civilian media facilities in Palestinian territory.
Self award conferring CNN ( whose credibility is at rock bottom ), went as far as to justify and editorialize that such a bombing “will take away a very important tool from the Iraqi leadership – that of showing their face, getting their message out to the Iraqi people, and really telling them that they are still in control.”
Matt Frei the BBC’s man in Washington, declared to the world soon after the invasion. “There is not doubt that the desire to bring good, to bring American values to the rest of the world, and especially now in the Middle East, is especially tied up with American military power.”
SNIFF!
In 2005 the same reporter lauded the architect of the invasion, Paul Wolfowitz, as someone who “believes passionately in the power of democracy and grassroots development.”
In Iraq, the American-enforced embargo that ran through the 1990s like a medieval siege, and killed, according to the United Nations Children’s fund, half a million children under the age of five. In Iraq, banned weapons were used against civilians as deliberate experiments.
The systematic brutality, the widespread atrocities, the ruthless suppression of independent thought in Stalinist Russia were well known and tom tommed in the West, while American state war crimes and terrorist acts were merely superficially recorded, let alone, documented. Across the world the extinction and suffering of countless human beings could be attributed to rampant bulldozing American power.
It is written on every US dollar bill IN GOD WE TRUST.
Or is it -- IN GREED WE TRUST?
During the 1990s Bill Clinton rained bombs on Iraq in what were euphemistically called the “no fly zones.” None of this carnage was reported in the Zionist held mainstream media. A study published by the US Johns Hopkins School of Public Health found that since the invasion of Iraq 655, 000 Iraqis had died as a direct result of the invasion.
As a result of the war, 740,000 Iraqi women have been made widows and 4.5 million people forced from their homes. Hardly any of this is reported on Zionist monopolized TV and media. How many of you know about the destruction of the Iraqi city of Fallujah, where thousands were killed, over 70 percent of houses destroyed and white phosphorus bombs used against civilians (a fact denied for months by US officials).
I do hope Yanks still remember who created Saddam Hussain.
And how he was hoodwinked into attacking rich Kuwait, who stole Iraqi oil by slant drilling—all done by a US oil company.

Today hardly anybody remembers that the CIA created a monster by the name of Osama Bin Laden .
In the movie Rambo , after decimating the Soviet army in Afghanistan, our hero Stallone is seen riding away into the sunset with Osama and Taliban party behind him.

They conveniently develop selective amnesia , that the Clinton administration had secretly backed the Taliban, even giving them high-level briefings at the CIA . This is virtually unknown in the United States. The Taliban were secret partners with the oil giant Unocal in building an oil pipeline across Afghanistan.
Hamas is described repeatedly as sworn to the destruction of Israel. The New York Times, the Associated Press, the Boston Globe-take your pick. They all use this line as a standard disclaimer, and it is false. That Hamas has called for a ten-year ceasefire is almost never reported.
There is a pioneering study by Glasgow University on the reporting of Palestine. They interviewed young people who watch TV news in Britain. More than 90 % of ignorant Yanks believe that the illegal settlers were Palestinian. While actually almost all of the current Israeli Jews are NOT Judeans , they are from Khazar area near Georgia.
Obama writes that while he wants the troops home, “We must not rule out military force against long-standing adversaries such as Iran and Syria.”
Listen to some more brilliant pearls from the liberal Obama: “At moment of great peril in the past century our leaders ensured that America, by deed and by example, led and lifted the world, that we stood and fought for the freedom sought by billions of people beyond their borders.”
SNIFF!
Embedded journalists have been engaged consistently in misleading rhetoric, and skewed portrayals. Pentagon propaganda was parroted by the “supposed to be free” US media. For after all it is public opinion that wins wars. Critical ommisions and cherry picking were done by these embedded reporters. They churned out fake and photoshopped pictures, to prey on raw human emotions..
These embedded reporters needed a licence , with expiry date , to report—otherwise you are NOT good enough to rub shoulders with the US army in a truck. You must be a pathological liar, and even be able to beat a lie detector machine, if so required.. This is like giving a truck driving license to someone who will kill maximum people on the streets –to ensure driving dominance .
hold your breath--
-- SO THAT THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN BACK HOME IN USA WOULD NOT BE TRAUMATIZED.
it is OK, if thousands of Iraqi children were killed in a most gruesome manner--but a Yank white Catholic child or a Jewish child in America must NOT get traumatized..
This is like a goon smashing you nose into pulp and then taking you to court because the goon's daughter got traumatized.
This is like a goon smashing you nose into pulp and then taking you to court because the goon's daughter got traumatized.
How well Bush justified the need for IMMINENT war.
He read out what his AIPAC speech writers wrote for him “ Our friends and allies shall not be at the mercy of an outlaw regime---- The US of A will meet this threat with full force our army, navy and airforce in their country , rather than face it with doctors, nurses and firefighters on our streets and at our door steps ---- It is up to the EYEraaqis to prove that they aint hiding WMD --- Absence of incriminating evidence is itself incriminating --- Iraq will acquire Nuclear weapons pretty soon--- Either you are for us or against us--- Saddam kicked UN inspectors out ( actually they went there to paint the targets for future smart cruise missiles) “
The effort was named “Operation Iraqi freedom”. By killing women and children in a cowardly manner?
It is most unfortunate that gruesome bloody wars are being treated as entertainment, back home in USA . What is all this deliberate blurring of lines between war news and entertainment, and this vulgar “showbizification of the news”. Why are reporters being bed fellows of the army?
Embedded journalists are brain washed to see only one side of the coin. What type of ethics is this, when journalists BLIND TO HUMAN SUFFERING are made mouthpieces for war propaganda ?
Has the greed for TRP and demand for profits killed our human spirit? Why does Vatican keep quiet? Does UN exists only to protect the interests of AIPAC?
In his second inauguration address, President Bush pledged to "bring democracy to the world”. His speech written by AIPAC speech writer , lasted 23 minutes. He mentioned the words "democracy" and "liberty" 21 times. The world did NOT get fooled . They just recoiled in disgust, understanding quite well what the United States meant by "democracy" and "liberty".
When Arnett reported the truth about US bombing of baby milk powder factories , White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater claimed was "a production facility for biological weapons". When Arnett reported death of more than 400 Iraqis by two precision-guided missiles on a civilian air-raid shelter in the Amariya district of Baghdad with women, children and old men packed inside,
Fitzwater called him a lair. He was denounced in US congress as "the Joseph Goebbels of Saddam Hussein's Hitler-like regime "

Julain Assange when asked how WikiLeaks dealt with the draconian secrecy laws for which Britain is famous. "Well," he said, "when we look at the Official Secrets Act labelled documents, we see a statement that it is an offence to retain the information and it is an offence to destroy the information, so the only possible outcome is that we have to publish the information."
These are extraordinary times.
These are extraordinary times.
Below picture is an old Iraqi war picture, available on the Internet, now being used to paint Syria black .
So much for the evil nexus between 'Coca-colonialism' and U.S. 'McDomination. The least you talk about it the better.
Once the Iraqi war started, wedges were driven between Sunnis/ Shias/ Kurds/ Sufis -- by bomb blasts and false reporting by Christian and Jewish reporters-- assuming fake Muslim names.
Of The Horrors Of War
headless bodies
burned flesh
a wedding band
a hand that belonged to a father
torn of the body
a memory of a different past
headless bodies
a lonely head in a green field
eyes wide open
see how they used to love
mountains of starved children
shiny bones
burning flesh
these are images we should
put in a frame
mount them in our homes
so we never forget
the true horror of war
