The truth of 911 condemns Bush - which is why the lie is being aired
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 12:12 PM by Solly Mack
- to protect Bush. To get the lie out there in a way that reaches the most people in hopes that enough people will connect the lie as the truth.

The next 2 years will see Bush and his supporters rewriting history as fast as they can in order to protect Bush's "legacy" by constructing a legacy that just never happened...and all they need to do this is plant doubt...plausible deniability, if you prefer.

Bush's failures also equal conservative failures...and conservatives have already begun to distance themselves from that equation. They will continue to do so.

Bush lied America into invading a country who did nothing to America...a series of lies that got their big push from the events of 911. Policies that were and continue to be harmful to America got their big push then as well. As it's all linked to that one day in a major way, the truth of that day must be distorted as well if conservatives are to construct a reality surrounding a Bush legacy.

So they lie. They construct. They plant doubt.

And this is why the lie must be challenged.

People have died over the lies coming from the Bush Regime. People have been tortured and murdered and illegally detained. Civil liberties have been eroded and the country has been bankrupted - and all for lies. Iraq is in shambles with violence washing over the people in waves - because of lies.

The lies matter.

1. You are absolutely right
Their lies and conflations must be vigorously changed and disproved anytime and anywhere!

2. The "New Truth" era has just begun
Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 12:33 PM by underpants
I was going to write this out as a op-ed piece.

I think we are seeing the 30+ year campaign of the conservatives to brow beat and buy their way into making the media bend to their every want coming to fruition. Funny thing is they haven't forgotten their playbook-Rush and Hume are both still whining about how unfair the media is being about a major network getting caught catering to their whacked out self-brainwashed conspiracy theories.

5. Yep
Most people don't realise that they use a system of Symbols to think with, visuals for the most part, others for abstractions. Some are more surface symbols and others go directly to the root of the brain, to the "mother cells", those that recognise your mother's face, or make you THINK twice about harming anything with no chin, big eyes and a round head.

These people know what they are doing. They are creating a series of symbol systems to RE-IMPRINT americans, and these days a lot of what you see, hear, touch and smell is literally created by Corporations. Your REALITY is not real, you just THINK IT IS :)

A lot of people I call "repeater stations", and they are the ones the media depend on to get the word out and WARP the Public at Water coolers, gabbing in malls, talking on the phone.

A simple statement gets parsed and passed and soon everyone is saying it over and over.

"Drugs are Bad" (Really? But my mom would DIE without drugs) - And you CAN'T argue that Drugs are GOOD, or that Saddam was relatively helpless, because the "repeater stations" have been pumped and primed and are standing next to your ready to use that godalmighty "peer group pressure" system (doesn't go away after being a teenager) and other cute mental things like "Ethoeccentricity" - "We have the best bowling team." "We have the best country" "We are the good guys" "WE are table Number 1".. that one is the most dangerous of all cultural conditioning.

GREAT writing, we need more thinking skills on this board, and you are providing that service, much appreciated, Critical thinking skills rather than a nice drive by post of "You Suck and you HATE GOOD people here.." :)

If people only knew how many of their buttons were being pushed, even on this board, they'd shit.

Thanks so much,

6. Exactly. And now we know that the Wackjobs also know.
They don't think he is a hero that makes them safer. They think he's a failure who needs to look better than he does.

And they are right. :evilgrin:

7. I remember that summer very well
Shredding of the ABM treaty for the missile defense program, and COMPLETE failure to focus on terrorism. The repukes dropped the ball, and thousands died. Now they use it as an excuse to send thousands more into the meat-grinder, and kill hundreds of thousands in the middle east.

It's appropriate that Red is the chosen color for repukes, their hands are drenched in blood.
