Propaganda/Lies
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
*****"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.
*****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
****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
***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
****General Petraeus and his truth twisting and fuzzy math
****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
*******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.")
***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)
***Anti-War protest group fined $10,000
**Top group promoting Bush's policy in Iraq is comprised of mostly Jewish people
***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
*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

****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
***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.
****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.
****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.)
**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.")
*****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
****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!)
****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!
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
****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
**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)
The neo-cons can't keep their lies and propaganda straight
***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
*****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
****Iran: Ahmadinejad: We are Not a Threat to Any Country, Including Israel

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

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