Propaganda/Lies

last modified 2008-09-10 14:45

Hiding the truth, manipulating the media, and hiding the wounded and dead veterans from the public eye

*****A list 935 LYING statements by high ranking officials to the lead up of the Iraq War

*******More Winter Soldier testimony as a Marine strips himself of his medals, shows video of the innocent men he killed, the Mosques they shot at for fun, tells how they acted completely different when they had embedded reporters next to them

*****"Incredible interview from 1994, in which Cheney foretells the disaster that would happen 9 years later with astonishing clarity." Maybe this will help prove to the idiotic masses that the upper echelon are NOT incompetent.  They know what would happen and did it anyways for their personal gain.

******Amy Goodman aptly describes the media control and examples of the propaganda and manipulation they spread; especially during the war

*****Corporate Media defends Soliders throwing puppy off of roof...an excuse that would never fly in an american court (unless the individuals were classified mentally insane) That link also gives a list of more atrocities and this video gives a nice collage as well

****Another example of CNN war propaganda; this from the first gulf war. Charles Jaco and Carl Rochelle report for CNN in the Gulf war in 1991.Notice the fake studio back drops.

*****Proof they were making it up (or innocently wrong, yeah right) when they said weapons in Iraq came from Iraq

****RIP George Carlin...here are a couple clips of him explaining propaganda, mental manipulation, education, voting and more

Video of the many times Bush has said progress is being made in Iraq

****Pat Tillman's mother still demanding answers while all you "I support the Troops" ribbon phonies don't care enough to give a mother the truth and closure

***More data manipulation of the deaths and injuries suffered by US soldiers

Another good interview with Cindy Sheehan to help prove she's not a "nutcase" like many in the media portray her to be

*******22 year CIA Vet fired for refusing to falsify Iran Intel

********Must listen interview with Aaron Russo and his conversations with Rockefeller about the Phony War on Terror, CFR, Women's Lib, the mafia tactics of Chicago police and much more

****General Petraeus and his truth twisting and fuzzy math

******Details of the secretive U.S.-Iraqi security pact, leaked to the media in the past few days, confirm the agenda that the US is installing permanent bases in Iraq while the media spins it as best as they can.

***Olbermann once again points out more Bush's lies over the war and how he plans to keep the troops there for a long time

****We Are Change is once again illegally arrested as they confront War Criminal Colin Powell

******Good Morning America host Chris Cuomo is schooled by four Pakistanis on Bin Laden's CIA connections. Benazir Bhutto appeared on BBC and saying similar things and also said Bin Laden was murdered and she wasn't challenged, soon after she was assassinated and here a former CIA offical says the same things and more

*****War on Terror: The masterpiece of propaganda; includes setting up puppet governments for their personal gain and finding (I say manufacturing) excuses to invade areas they were already planning on invading

****CIA is protecting (and funding and meeting with) an Al-Qaeda linked terror group formerly headed by the alleged mastermind of 9/11 from being extradited to Iran

*******After years of the administration saying the Iraq War is nothing like Vietnam, they do a sudden about face and now say the Vietnam War was a good war and would have been won if we stayed longer! ("It is indeed ironic that Bush, who used every resource at his command to avoid service in Vietnam during the war, is now using it to bolster his failed stay the course policy in Iraq.") And he lied during the speech as the US supported the Khmer Rouge who started the genocidal killing fields ("Funny how dumping bombs on a country can attract otherwise reasonable folks to extreme positions.")

*****Watch this telling exchange between a reporter and Homeland Security Advisor Fran Townsend over the current status of Bin Laden

***GE owned Katie Couric reports from Baghdad as a mouthpiece for the administration asking no hard questions and seeing only what they wanted her to see (For example, she didn't even see one of the many illegal oil pipelines put up...let alone any suffering Iraqis)

****Bush and Co. keep saying we'll change our mind once we hear General David Petraeus's report in September '07...turns out the report is being written by the White House

***Marine testifies that his unit was ordered to "crank up the violence level" and says that Marines consider all Iraqi men part of the insurgency

*****The Pre-invasion lies about Iraq and the false ties to 911, a flow chart presentation; includes specific gulity parties and is easy to understand

***Anti-War protest group fined $10,000

****Good News! In the Green Zone, you can eat at restaurants!  Bad News: wearing Kevlar helmet and a flak vest is mandatory.

**Top group promoting Bush's policy in Iraq is comprised of mostly Jewish people

***Robert Baer, a former CIA field officer assigned to the Middle East, reports on the lies and "bad intelligence" our government is feeding us and names some of the players including Deputy National Security Advisor Elliot Abrams

***This USS Cole story reeks of feces and propaganda.  How many examples can you find? And why didn't we attack Yemen if they were harboring terrorists? Well I know the answer, why didn't the idiot public ask this question?

**Bush and Co. continues to blame Al-Qaeda for the violence in Iraq (mentioned them 95 times in his latest speech) while their own Iraqi security forces Report says 98% of the violence is from Iraqis

*****Republican Senator Hagel now admits that the administration wanted access to start a war anywhere in the middle east but congress restricted them to Iraq at the last figurative minute

***The lies of the Pentagon's Gitmo report, which they pretty much admit

**Without solid proof, the US is claiming Iran is arming the Iraqi insurgents If the Iraqi PM believed this to be true, why would he be meeting with the Iranian President?

****Unlike what Bush and co. has said, several US military war games (and NIE reports) show that Al-Qaieda would NOT benefit from a US pullout and the administration's motto for Iraq has been "you attack hornets" but "don't swat at flies" LOL

*****Leaked document shows US troop casualties is way more than reported in the media

****Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki says America can leave whenever and he also accuses (rightly so) the US of committing human rights violations

****Another Bin Laden video!!!!!  Oh wait, it's the same one from 5 years ago that the media is reusing.  CAUGHT!

*Bush says Iraqi insurgents are the same as those who attacked us on 9/11, while our troops were attacked by Iraqi policemen that we armed

****US says they killed 17 al-Qaeda gunmen while the local citizens say they killed their town security...oh no! who should I believe?

***The new war propaganda: Iraqi insurgents are now automatically part of Al-Qaeda

Example of Iran War propaganda proven false

Cindy Sheehan on Hardball on her challenge to Pelosi

****The PBS documentary Buying the War: how the media helped sell the war to the public

****Olbermann points out another Bush lie...this time regarding his knowledge of Iraqi intelligence

Administration's lies and propaganda that the masses eat up

New Propaganda word of the month "containment"...the war in Iraq is over, we lost

*Baghdad too dangerous for embedded reporters

******The Bush Administration is Financing Iran's Nuclear Development Program Through Russia! U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing Iran's nuclear development program and it is not headline news?!?!

***I recommend watching this video before reading my comments  Now why did I put this Iraqi sniper video up? 2 reasons.  First, if you are a typical american, this video pissed you off and you thought it was sickening watching american soldiers die.  But if someone invaded us to get rid of Bush and then stayed, occupied our streets, our government, worsened our living conditions, ordered us around, etc., you would want these snipers on your side and would cheer their every shot.  Secondly, this is here to show that the majority of the Iraqi resistance DON'T try to kill innocent civilians as the neo-cons and racist war supporters say.

**The British government is FINALLY ordering WMD documents to be released...you know the ones that said Saddam could kill us in all 45 minutes and which led to the (most likely) murder of Dr David Kelly.

****U.S. intelligence agencies warned the Bush administration in early 2003 that invading Iraq could create internal conflict that would give Iran and al Qaeda new opportunities to expand their influence, according to an upcoming Senate report. (The excuse that they couldn't have forseen this happening is just that--an excuse, and a lie.  Just like Katrina.  They knew exactly what would happen, this was their goal all along.  The proof is in their pockets and in the amount of control they have)

**Imus, Anna Nicole Smith, and now The VTech shooting...anything to avoid talking about the important issues, like our troops being killed every day and on the same day of the shooting 45 innocents were killed in Baghdad

***Of course the media doesn't report this letter by the Iranian president!  Nooo, he has to be "crazy" in the public's eyes, whip the masses into a witch hunt frenzy to further their own gains...that strategycontinues to work.

*Daily Show compares what Bush said about invading and staying in Iraq to Saddam getting rid of his WMDs.  Pretty much proves Bush is a hypocritical liar, but we already knew that.

****Terrific article explaining the mentality why the Germans supported Hitler and how americans have done the same thing with Bush (Americans fell for the exact same tactics.)

**An Iraqi doctor who concluded that more Iraqi civilians have died in the war than has been reported has been prevented from attending a medical conference at the University of Washington...they "misplaced" his visa pretty much.  That's one way to shut the truth up.

****British whistleblowers give eye-witness accounts of Mossad illegally in Iraq, while BBC gets lied to by several Israelis

*****Remember, USA invaded Iraq based on resolution 1441, therefore this is an illegal war.  Also includes the reason why US didn't plant WMDs in Iraq

**Ralph Nader wonders why Imus gets crucified for saying one phrase while military rape and abuse goes unreported

**The Green Zone Is "The Most Dangerous Place In Iraq" Claims Iraqi Foreign Minister

***A very good CBC recap of the propaganda and lies that lead us into the Iraq War and continue to this day ("provides context to the events of the previous six years, showing how political, diplomatic, media spin – which sometimes crossed the line into outright lies - have been used by the those in power to further their own agendas.")

**The neo-cons care about the troops: Amputee veteran dis-invited to republican function because they didn't want his lack of legs to show

***For the entire war in Iraq, the press has been kept largely in the dark concerning the number of civilians killed by our forces, and what happened in the aftemath. Now several hundred files posted online reveal some of the true horror while raising questions about lack of compensation.

*****UPDATE on the Pat Tillman story: more evidence shows that he very well may have been murdered and not accidentally killed. The congress is scheduled to look into it while Bush and Co. are yet again claiming "Executive Privilege." Way to support the troops and give the families of the dead troops the truth! Such as Tillman's dad who is pissed about the cover up. Here is an interview with the soldier who was right next to Tillman when he died and he also tells how the military chaplain lied to investigators (WWJD? LOL) And World Net Daily is also lying about this scandal (Is lying a hobby of theirs, or are they getting paid by someone or some group?) Now we know Tillman was planning on meeting Noam Chomsky (motive) and Spc. Bryan O'Neal comes forward to say how he was ordered to not say a word about what really happened

********The media, military, and government completely lied about the Tillman and Lynch cases...and now it MAY be investigated Now MSNBC reports these stories and interviews a soldier who was told to keep Tillman's story quiet and mentions a drone that may have recorded his death More truth coming out!! (About a year after the underground media covered this, but better late then never) Video Interview with the soldier that was told to lie and Jessica Lynch saying the military/government lied about her capture  More video And the Tillman family is angry And now Bush and Co. are claiming "Executive Privilege" so they don't have to release any more information about the matter STRANGE UPDATE ON JESSICA LYNCH: 4 of her rescuers have died mysteriously

****More eye-witness accounts of the secret vaporizing weapons US is using in Iraq

*Another disgusting hypocritical propaganda example by Bush

**US claims they have things under control in Afghanistan, but this man doesn't think so.  He also shows you around an illegal Gun Bazaar just outside the border in Pakistan

****The Senate's No. 2 Democrat (Durbin) says he knew that the American public was being misled into the Iraq war but remained silent because he was sworn to secrecy as a member of the intelligence committee (What a democracy we live in! An elected senator knows the masses are being lied to and does nothing for fear of losing his job or getting arrested!)

*****Newly released documents confirm that a Pentagon unit (Douglas "Zionist" Feith) knowingly cooked up intelligence claiming a direct link between Iraq and al-Qaeda in order to win support for a preemptive strike against the country.

****John McCain: Certified Phony Liar.  He claims Iraq is safe and getting better and to prove it travels to a Baghdad market.  Don't mention that he and his posse wore bulletproof vests and were accompanied by armored Humvees and 100 soldiers who were risking their lives for a photo op (way to support the troops).  Also, he would like you to ignore that the very next day in the same marketplace a truck bomb killed over a dozen people including a newborn baby.

****Proof that Abu Gharib was ordered from high up!

**Media complicity and disinformation on the Iraq war; specific examples of media helping the government perpetuate the Iraq War lies

Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl said a EFP factory was found in Iraq. Why did WaPo delete the report? ****Ah, here's why: the administration has been trying to pin these on Iran, uh-oh! They're wrong, but wait, they got Washington Post to alter the Reuters article and insert their baseless propaganda

**Daily Show exposes Neo-con lies, propaganda, and contradictions dealing with funding for the Iraq War

****Iraq's death toll is far worse than our leaders admit; The US and Britain have triggered an episode more deadly than the Rwandan genocide ("How can the US and Britain pretend they understand the level of resentment in Iraq if they are not sure if, on average, one in 80 families have lost a household member, or one in seven, as our study suggests?" And their study is the highly respected Lancet.)

*More evidence that Bush Co. fudged "facts" to start a war with Iraq

**Democrats and their double speak Iraq War talk: most of them want troops to remain there for an unlimited amount of time

**US soldier deletes AP photographer's photos, threatens violence

*Soldiers in Iraq view troop surge as a lost cause (not a key to victory like Bush Co. wants the public to believe)

*"They'll wave at us during the day and shoot at us during the night," said 1st Lt. Dan Quinn, a platoon leader in the Army's 1st Infantry Division. "People (in America) think it's bad, but that we control the city. That's not the way it is. They control it, and they let us drive around. It's hostile territory."

The neo-cons can't keep their lies and propaganda straight

****Audio of Armitage admitting to Bernstien that the Administration knew the Iraq intel was bogus but went with it anyway

***Deadliest Bomb in Iraq Is Made by Iran, U.S. Says ("According to this latest propaganda, the US knows the road these Iranian smuggled weapons are traveling on, but cannot do anything, because the bombs travel at night, somehow evading the world's very best night-vision and thermal imaging scopes US troops carry... Right.") Or are these bombs made in the UK and used also by the IRA?

****Former British Ambassador Craig Murray is now challenging the legitimacy of the map just published by the British government in the current dispute with Iran over those 15 captured British sailors and marines.  (And we're trusting the British to KNOW what is Iranian territory and what isn't??  This is the same British Navy who accidentally invaded Spain in 2002.)

**U.S. general Pace: No evidence Iran is arming Iraqis (which completely contradicts the lying Tony Blair and the rest of Bush Co.)

****Iraq: The hidden story: The story from REAL embedded reporters, What the US government doesn't report and how bad Iraq really is (and this was filmed in 2006...way worse now)

**Don't believe the propaganda!!  Our USA powers that be wanted Saddam dead for the holidays! ("they had literal, physical control of Saddam's body. (A control they continued to exercise after the execution, by the way, transporting the corpse to its resting place by an American helicopter. It seems the "sovereignty" of the Iraqi government in this case lasted only for the brief time it took for the hanging.) Saddam could not have been hanged by the Maliki government if the Americans had not physically turned him over to the executioners, who did their work under American auspices, on an American base. If U.S. officials ­ those with any real power, that is ­ had had genuine concerns about the timing of the execution, they could have simply refused to turn Saddam over until, say, after Eid or at some other point. What could Maliki have done about it? Nothing." 

Cindy Sheehan and supporters let the Dems know they are holding their feet to the fire, too. (The media portrayed her agenda as a liberal lover, when all she wants is for the war to end) Here is Fox News's take

****A dictator (Saddam) created then destroyed by America; objective facts inside 

**Former CIA Official Exposes Bush Administration Fraud; trying to cover-up the truth about their Iran talks

*Corporate media propaganda (example #345,345,775,456) on the Lebanon protests: under'estimates' number of people there, incorrectly labels it a "siege", and incorrectly ties the protestors to an Iran/Syria conspiracy

*Fake attack for the cameras? and excellent Nazi examples of propaganda juxtaposed with this administration's

Bush saying last year that troops levels will decrease now turns an about face and changes the theme to "sacrifice"

*******Compare the military records of Dems and Reps (disclosure: I hate Dems too); jeez most people would be shocked seeing this chart...liberal media? hahaha...also, F! Nugent

Wow. Rumsfeld says terrorists manipulate media (and succesfully hijack planes and can fly magic carpets and summon the devil..)

*****Video footage of the mass graves and the ruined streets and houses in Fallujah that the media never reported on. Centered around an interview with a solider who describes what he saw and the conversations he had with Iraqi citizens

Charles Krauthammer, another delusional neo-con

***BBC proves more American lies about the killing of other Iraqi civilians

Hypocrisy of americans: When 3 Thousand Die in U.S., It's a Horrific Tragedy. When It Happens in Iraq, it's Just Another Day in Paradise

****IAEA protests "erroneous" U.S. report on Iran

Scarborough labels O'Reilly's attack on NBC over "civil war" decision "insane" and "insulting"

Rumsfeld Unveils New Justification For Iraq War (sigh...their PR strategies continue to get more ridiculous, yet enough people keep believing them)

While they try to distract you with a false liquid terror attack and Jon Benet's "real" killer, one of the deadliest months occured in Iraq

*Comprehensive Vanity Fair piece on how the Bush administration lied to get us into war with Iraq (they lied, now what are we going to do about it?)

*More soliders commiting atrocities in Iraq ("if soldiers came into your town, raped a girl, then burned her body and killed her family to cover it up, what would you do to the soldiers? Cheer them as they left? Or would you grab a couple of them and make an example of them to deter future rapists?" Of course, when the Iraqis retaliate, the media will potray them as evil terrorists.)

Do not believe what the talking heads tell you about the Afghan War. If it wasn't for our superior air power, our ground forces would be wiped out. More info

***A PR intern in Iraq tells his story

Op-ed: Don't let the massacre of 24 cause you to forget the murders of all the other civilians, and don't forget who is pulling the strings

Another good essay by the villified Cindy Sheehan

******A list of quotes that being with "War is horrible, but.." and then goes on to debunk them...also gives information on how the fallacy that WW2 saved the economy is total hogwash

Bush finally admits that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11

**To Bush, 3000 American deaths, 20,000 casualties, at least 50,000 Iraqi deaths, and complete destruction of the Iraqi civilization will look like "a comma" in the grand scheme of things. Respectfully, sir, you are a heartless, delusional failure of a President (to get USA out of debt: auction off 365 seperate --once a day for a year-- slots to knock the smile off of Bush's face...c'mon Bush, it is for the good of our country)

O'Reilly admits to not caring about Iraq, yet he pretended to care when the government's line was to "spread democracy" and make a better life for those people

*Documents reveal administration followers weren't as optimistic as they claimed to be over Iraq War

**Abramof's "diary" reveals the plan to invade Iraq was known well before the public knew

**Colin Powell was FIRED by Bush and Cheney (couldn't find non-existant WMDs in Iraq and tried to give them factual intelligence)

***Deal to monitor media; The two-year contract goes to the PR firm that paid Iraqi papers for flattering stories

*YouTube censors Iraq videos

Rumsfeld blames rising insurgency on the weather

Boomeranging Sanctions on Iran and a brief history

Anti-propaganda: Whole bunch of pics taking by a soldier

**Israel tries to spin North Korea's nuke test; use it as justification to attack Iran

******Anti-propaganda: Very revealing letter from a soldier in Iraq; I don't agree with his opinions, but I think it is a must read

*US military leaders planning $20m public relations effort in Iraq (if you can't beat them, convince them you did)

*Iraqi government 'hiding true casualty figures'

Another example of a Bush lie

Iraq War PR and the numbers they don't want you to think about (Or hear)

*Soldiers in Iraq with cameras reveal themselves, the war (government media claims to care about the military...won't hear about this documentary!)

Rumsfeld on Iraq War Critics: ‘Quitters’ Who ‘Blame America First’ And ‘Cannot Stomach A Tough Fight’ ("Nazi Propoganda I should say. Hermann Goering must be so proud his techniques are being applied in such a shining beacon of democracy and freedom.")

Iran intelligence bogus as well

New footage in another non-Haditha massacre that proves the americans lied yet again

*Embedded Reporters and the One Sided Reality TV Show of the Iraq War (more american propaganda exposed)

*Are Americans getting an accurate picture of what’s going on in Iraq? Questions asked to an embedded reporter

Alan Combes (somewhat) owns Rick Santorum who totally contradicted the DOD's report on "WMDs" ("old rusted out and totally useless left-overs from the Iran-Iraq war; the stuff that Saddam bought from the United States.") ***Olbermann does a better job ripping the lying Santorum A deeper look into the matter 

**The media says they care about the troops, and the families, yet if they speak out against the war, the media hates them. Here is more on Nick Berg's dad on the Iraq War and administration

COCKPIT FOOTAGE OF U.S. ON BRITISH FRIENDLY FIRE INCIDENT which was covered up for years

**Iraq War propaganda: Neo-cons trying to pretend Iraq is safer than Wash. DC

*****A Saddam hating Iraqi exile tells how the US and Co. is lying and the escalating attacks are not usually aimed at civilians, but are a direct response to the brutal actions of US-led troops.  Women are now fighting which was previously unheard of and Brookings, the independent US research institute, says 92% of recorded attacks are against occupiers and the police--NOT a civil war.

**Suicide truck bomb collapses major bridge in Baghdad; at least 10 killed...or was it a "truck bomb"???  (read comments)  Either way, the US is lying about something.
