Talking Point Shift: All of Tripoli is Gadhafi’s Compund and the United States is Opposed to Free Elections in Libya

by Scott Creighton There seems to be a shift taking place in the pro-war talking points on Libya. Now they suggest that all of Tripoli, a city of 2 million people, is Moammar Gadhafi’s compound or “strong hold”. This is intended to silence criticism of NATO attacks on targets inside Tripoli that are clearly unrelated [...]

Libya and the War Powers Act

(According to the New York Times we would lose credibility if we pulled out of the illegal war of aggression in Libya. A funny kind of twisted logic for a “liberal” paper if you ask me. But notice the real issue is finding a way to justify our involvement. This is the point of the [...]

by Scott Creighton The propaganda directed at creating a pretext for the bombing and invasion of Syria, another Shock and Awe campaign of state sponsored terror, is developing faster than I can write.

Another Propaganda Campaign to Destabilize Iran: A New Dark Age is Upon Us

by Scott Creighton According to the “liberal” newspaper the Guardian, President Ahmadinejad is dabbling in black magic in an attempt to bring the anti-Christ to power. God knows, I wish I was making this up. A new propaganda campaign focused on regime change in Iran has been launched by the Guardian and al Jazeera. It [...]

Middle East & Africa News and Disinfo

(If there are professional photographers set up to take pictures of crashing “rebel” planes, why are there no photos of Gadhafi troops advancing on rebel positions? Good question, huh?)

NYPD Cops’ Training Included an Anti-Muslim Horror Flick

(This film also relies heavily on clips of two fake Muslims in order to build their case for pending and ongoing Violent and Cultural Jihad in America: 1.  Yousef al-Khattab (born Joseph Cohen), a jewish man who poses as Revolution Muslim in order to demonize Muslims in America.

Even Lost Wars Make Corporations Rich

by Chris Hedges, Truthdig … The moratorium on anti-war protests in 2004 was designed to help elect the Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry. It was a foolish and humiliating concession.
