The “Body Snatching Gadhafi” Propaganda Rises from the Dead

by Scott Creighton

Zombie Propaganda.  Like the story of Iran’s nuclear weapons or Iraq’s WMDs that just won’t die no matter how many times we carefully and thoroughly shot them in the head, the “Body Snatching Gadhafi” story just won’t stay buried.

In PR preparation for Obama’s big talk on Libya tomorrow, the globalist puppets ran around the Sunday morning “news” programs spouting ever more unbelievable lies about Libya and the Gadhafi regime just as fast as they possibly could. Hillary Clinton and Robert Gates (Bush II’s secretary of defense held over by Obama and his “CHANGE” regime) filmed an interview on CBS yesterday so they could be on all the Sunday morning talk shows ensuring that their message was the ONLY one to hear.

Gates carefully broached the “Body Snatcher” story while Secretary Clinton, aka “President Clinton the 2nd”, nodded sanctimonious at his side. The scene reminded me of the “Black Bush” skit from the old Dave Chappelle Show. If you haven’t seen it, you need to. It’s posted at the end of this article.

Gates stated that while they were “having trouble” confirming civilian casualties resulting from our air-strikes, he did have several “intelligence reports” that Gadhafi was running around taking bodies “of people he killed” and planting them at the locations of places we bombed so that it looks like we killed them.

Of course they are “having trouble” confirming the casualties. That’s what happens when you deliberately work to avoid confirming the dead civilians that will end up getting you fired from your job as secretary of defense and get the US kicked out of the coalition of the criminal.

If Gates had sat down with Cheney and made such ridiculous, unsupported claims, with language that was clearly chosen to provide plausible deniability in the future, the left would have been tripping over each other to expose this bullshit just as fast as they could. This is the power of “left cover”. Just sit a Clinton down next to a lying war-monger and everything is peachy-keen.

The CBS interview is funny to watch actually. Gates can’t bring himself to answer in the affirmative when the host asks him directly if Gadhafi is planting dead bodies at these locations. All he can say is that there are “intelligence reports” of it. This OBVIOUSLY is designed to provide them with plausible deniability in the future when it turns out that this story is bullshit. He can always say “everybody thought” that the intelligence reports were accurate. Sound familiar?

The only difference is that this propaganda was starting to fall apart even before Gates made his claims and Hillary sat there nodding like a condescending school marm in an 80′s high school flick.

As I pointed out the other day, this story was generated by the AP quoting unnamed sources and offering no proof, and then after it was picked up and repeated all over the web and news stations, the AP re-wrote the story, excluding any mention of it. They actually ran around and scrubbed up all the AP associated websites and removed the “body snatching Gadhafi” element of their story.

Of course, “liberal” Glenn Greenwald hasn’t bothered to adjust his article on the subject and he still has the unconfirmed story on his website for all the left to read. I guess he can’t take it down, even though it’s now erased from his original source, till after Obama makes his big speech tomorrow night.

A reader here, Scott Norsworthy, pointed out that the original version of the bullshit story was actually penned with the help of a couple Mockingbirds, one of whom, Bob Burns, proudly claims his office is right there in the Pentagon. Here’s a link to a Bob Burns article on Breitbart claiming that the surge was working in Iraq.  Apparently Mr. Burns (like Robert Gates) likes to support war no matter which party starts it.

Also of note is the fact that the original article makes it clear that the claim originally comes from “rebel claims”, the people who are most interested in keeping the US and British forces fighting with Gadhafi so that they can profit from being put in charge when regime change is complete.

“On Thursday, state television aired pictures of bodies it said were victims of airstrikes, but a U.S. intelligence report bolstered rebel claims that Gadhafi’s forces had simply taken bodies from a morgue.”  Associate Press and associated Pentagon Mockingbirds

Also worth noting, after the original story disappeared from the polite press because it obviously had no journalistic value (based on unconfirmed “intelligence reports” generated in the Pentagon and by “rebel” claims) Gates and Clinton have embellished it a bit claiming that Gadhafi himself killed the people rather than simply taking them out of the morgue. A nice little “pro-regime change” twist for the administration of “CHANGE”.

In honor of the ridiculous propaganda coming out of Washington these days, I offer up “Black Bush”. Personally I can’t tell which is funnier; Chappelle’s insightful satire of the run-up to the invasion of Iraq or the Clinton regime’s real-time campaign about Libya. Here’s Dave’s work. You decide.
