CNN's nuke plant photos IDENTICAL for Iran and North Korea . . .
http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001187.htm

Two stories posted in the last week on the CNN website, one on nukes in Iran last Wednesday, and another on nukes in North Korea on Saturday, both use the same aerial photograph of the same purported nuclear power plant!

But one is supposed to be in Iran and the other is supposed to be in North Korea!

A story posted Saturday to CNN's website suggesting that North Korea is rallying behind their leader Kim Jong Il in his latest nuclear saber-rattling makes use of a satellite photo described in the caption as "An aerial photo of North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear plant outside of Pyongyang".

1. Oceana has always been at war with Eurasia!
Doubleplusungood!

Couple this with Bush's creepy statements and the Gonzales ceremony today calling for renewal of the patriot act and things are getting pretty freaky.

8. It got beyond creepy last year
Remember Asscrack's grandstanding terror alert, when he grabbed air time and flashed all those photos?

Those photos were all at least 3 years old, and two of them dated from the first WTC bombing.

I'm not a bit surprised that the same aerial shot (which could be of a plant in Kansas, for all we know) is being assigned to two different places on opposite sides of the globe. I was amazed at how quickly Powell could turn what looked into a grocery distributor with semi trailers parked outside into a large scale chemical weapons plant. People are just plain gullible, and this bunch knows how to scare the hell out of them.

Thanks for catching this stuff. The more we get this stuff out, the more people will start to catch a clue that they're being lied to and manipulated.

2. It's the China Syndrome All Over Again
Using the same photo. Sheesh. It enough to make you disbelieve everything you read.

5. So was it CNN who blindly ran the pictures 'leaked'
by the Pentagon or CNN who purposefully did this? Unbelievable.

For those who don't see it at first glance, the second picture is a blowup of the first.

11. Maybe they can send in a squadron of those
action figures that were captured in Iraq last week. Remember that journalistic fact-checking debacle?

12. Remember the "Moon Landing" ?
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 01:16 PM by signmike
Our gummint wouldn't lie to us...it was just incredible foresight that the Arizona desert looks exactly like the Moon, with the identical looking rocks in identical positions....

;-)

besides, maybe those two Nookyaler plants look the same because Halliburton built them both and used the same plans. Southern California is carpeted with Lewis Homes - millions of them - and each one as distinctly different as, oh, say...eggs in a basket? Peeznapod?
