New Demon being created - on MSM Now.
Check out any of them - they are hitting Iran's new leader hard. 'Hostage Taker' See propaganda as it is created...this is how it starts.

Anything to distract from the Truth...

But this may be more than that too...the Bush Crime Family is creating their next Saddam as we watch. Live and in color. Soon they will start creating the case to go after Iran militarily...wait and see.

1. They made certain that the hardliner would win in Iran. They serve each
other's purpose in their sick, symbiotic way. Just like Bush and Bin Laden. Always there for each other.

8. It's amazing...check out a real news site...here for instance -
And hardly a post about it. But I just browsed through every MSM cable outlet - EVERYONE was featuring the story about how Ahmadinejad was one of the hostage takers - no matter that a lot of sources are saying he was not - he was just a part of the student movement and had no role in the actual kidnapping - in fact, some sources are saying that he opposed taking the hostages.

But you won't hear that on the MSM - no sir, no way, no chance. He is going to be badder than Osama, Saddam, Khdafi and Hillary Clinton rolled into one before the WH propaganda machine is done...

4. Well, Bush's Dad has probably met this guy...
It's been widely speculated that Bush Sr. personally set up the Arms for Hostages Scheme to hold the hostages until after the US election.

5. He should hit back. "When I was taking hostages, you were
nothing but a rich drunk." If he can make it personal, people might not buy the buildup to war.

6. those hostage takers were paid in armaments by POPPY BUSHso they would not
release the hostages (no matter how much JIMMY CARTER worked to have them released) before that 1980 election...

so, THis NOW PRESIDENT of Iran IS CONNECTED TO THE BUSHES in a most nefarious way --but what is the pay off for the Bushes to have him reappear at this time in the international political scene? i have not yet figured it out.

10. Well, I imagine he will participate in the RW's attempts to turn
America against Iran.

He will perhaps make it look as though Iran is hiding something, despite the IAEA's clean and clear assesment, and help the PNAC focus it's attention over there.

22. War!
It's about building a case for war and I have a feeling a few in Iran want to see it. Image how the price of oil will sky rocket

37. That's it in a nutshell.
This is all about making the case for a war with Iran. Boy oh boy, talk about the past coming back to haunt. I would love for this guy to spill everything about the Arms for Hostages deal and how W's Poppy was a major player. But, nah-Little Boots will attack before any of the sheeple can put this together. It'll be all about avenging the hostages, the shame of our nation, and showing the world that Bush can hold a grudge longer than my Mother (and she was a champ at it). Worse times are coming, if that's possible.

9. This is the newest tactic to try to promote the war with Iran.......
They didn't get Bolton in the U.N. to bully them (U.N.) into giving permission for war (with Iran), so this is plan B.

Your probably right. They will do the recess appointment and all the while keep repeating this story, till they get public support for the new war. I keep hoping it will not come to that, but it probably will.

12. Media is not bothering to wait for any proof or I.D. confirmation
The pictures I saw this morning on ABC news gave me the impression that the newly elected Pres has different eyes that are set closer together and a different size nose so I am skeptical especially since only a handful of the hostages (outspoken RW hawks apparently) are claiming absolute knowledge based just on similarity from a couple of pictures, even though at the time they were held captive they did not know the mans name and in the pictures ABC showed, the hostage with the man in question was wearing blindfolds.

follow up with the facts only after the bunk has already been accepted as truth by the public. :puke:

19. Yeah. But they have the MSM serving
the same rotted slop to the American public again. Anything to avoid the truth. Anything to avoid Joe and Jane Sixpack from learning about the DSM...to draw attention away from the upcoming release of the Abu Gharib photos...away form *'s sagging popularity numbers.

I hate these people.

24. Oh-oh...subtle but nasty agenda item
It just occurred to me.....

The 444 days that the hostages were held are seen by the Neocons as the darkest of America's days....part of the malaise as they are wont to call it of the Carter/liberal Presidency.

If the neocons can tag the new Iranian Pres as part of that era, AND his royal highness, Jesus's ambassador on Earth, God's one and only, George W. Bush can invade Iran and punish this guy, then he has saved, once and for all, America's tarnished reputation. He will have once and for all, cleaned up Carter's Mess and the subtle message is:

It takes a Republican to clean up the decades-long mess that a liberal makes. p

I don't like the smell of this...not one little bit.....

25. Of course a new demon needs to be created
thats the point of a continuous war. It is one enemy after another to keep the profiteering high. This will go on until we run out of money, or we are destroyed.

This is the objective of these globalists, the corporatists. They want to bring the USA to its knees, and then on to Europe and they then have the world.

Look how our military is being destroyed. Look how our industrial base was allowed to become obsolete and then moved on to 'service' jobs, which don't really create value. Eventually the service jobs will dry-up and that will be the end, economically.

Look at the legislative agenda. See anything there for the people?

Bu$h and the Republicans are working to destroy America. Have been all along.

38. Do any of these stories report that
. . . three of the actual hostage takers, who are now reformists opposed to Ahmadinejad, state that Ahmadinejad was not among their number?

You'll find that little tidbit on the BBC.

Are we going to have to start reading the foreign press again to cut through the regime's war propaganda? Is the US corporate media again going to be the regime's privatized Pravda?

39. Hardball is scary
They're basically saying "now that we know this is one of the hostage takers.... will it harm relations further"

Sounds like Bush is all over the story. I guess Cheney told Bush to say something after he devised this scheme.

This won't stand up in the world... and I hope most Americans don't buy it.

43. It's so interesting to watch this with wide-open eyes.
With Iraq my eyes were pretty open, but I wasn't even as informed as I am now.

Now I feel on top of it. And I feel like I'm watching evil unfold right before me. It's a sick thing to watch. It's a slow process, but it doesn't take much for sheeple to say "baaaaaa..ok....."

I remember watching Watergate unfold...and Iran and the October surprise in 1980...and Iran/Contra....this puts them in the minor league.

I've always read about disinformation and propaganda campaigns in totalitarian governments....never thought I'd live to see it happen right before my eyes in the good old U.S. of A.

licking their chops and rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy at our next BOOGIE-MAN to stand beside that "cat of nine lives / amputee" - Al Zarkowi.

I'm sick of the entire USA corporate cable media being in on the take. I can't watch any TV news save for a little C-SPAN without walking away from the experience both disgusted and insulted. I just can NOT force myself to watch any of them anymore, CNN, MSNBC, FOX.

We are screwed unless we get access to an outlet that will hold our leader's accountable. Right now, I see little hope ... the lies and sensationalism are astounding.

However, BushCo underestimates our gullibility, I hope. That drumbeat to hate and war will not be a road so easily traversed when it comes to a truly formidable enemy, Iran. Just one little letter but a whole lotta military might ... it would be an long, horrific and bloody war. :(

What's wrong with these bloated armchair warriors and media stenographers? Dammit, if they're so bad, let these old men go and fight this war. :P

I can just bring myself to do a quick scan in the evening to see where they are all at...can't stomache watching them at all. In fact, I pretty much have quit all TV watching except for C-Span and some sports once in a while. And of coarse The Daily Show once in a while.


It won't be a conventional war for long...this one will go the next step when it happens. :nuke: I hope the World wakes up in time to stop the madness...though in my currently cynical state of mind today I have little hope of that. Tomorrow may be better though.
