The War to Deceive

Before America went to war with Afghanistan, another war was underway -- against its own people: the war to deceive American into attacking Iraq. This is no longer a theory or conjecture; it is a documented fact.

Those in the Mainstream Media, including the New York Times and Washington Post, who choose to ignore this reality, or couch it in qualifying terms (such as "unproven assertions") are no longer trying to debunk a conspiracy, because the deliberate deception that forced America into war with Iraq is not a conspiracy theory.

In fact, the evidence is so abundant and damning, it is those who deny the reality that the Bush Administration intentionally deceived America into a ruinous war based on calculated lies who are part of an untenable conspiracy theory. Yes, the Mainstream Media is right up there with the Raelists (if you recall them, they were a cult the media covered for days because the press believed their unfounded claims that they had cloned a human) when it comes to believability. Their job appears to be to create a conspiracy of credibility around Bush going to war, where none can exist to a person of common sense or integrity.

We could go on and on, but it gets tiring after awhile. It's like recalling how many times a lover has betrayed you. What's the point? You've proved your case; the rest is just a masochistic exercise of listing. (And we're sure that some wingers will write to us saying we didn't get one or other of the points EXACTLY correct, as if it mattered whether the bullet that killed someone hit their right or left heart ventricle in order to prove who the murderer is.)
