Lies and Spin - Deja Vu

3 years, 5 months ago in , by JohnnyBoy?
You may recall the misinformation (probably more correct to call them straigh-up lies) that was put out by Bush and his neocons about Saddam's nuclear program, as justification for an unprovoked invasion (excuse me… they call it 'pre-emptive strike').

Well, they're at it again. This time the target is Iran. The UN's nuclear watchdog is once again declaring that BushCo is twisting and fabricating information and trying to make it sound like it comes from the IAEA.

Deja vu, eh what. Sounds like another disaster waiting to happen.

He's the data… apparently from a leaked CIA document… The USA's Current Account relative to other nations.

These numbers sound more at home in a doomsday movie script… but even worse is that they are REAL…

Ahhh DuPont - what can I say?

3 years, 5 months ago in , by JohnnyBoy?
I have more than one reason for disliking many of the activities of DuPont. Clearly being a central member of the highest eschelons, where the lines between business and government are blurred beyond recognition these days.

It seems Greg has picked up on yet another nice little swifty brought down on the little guy buy this monopolistic behemoth. I was told by someone that somewhere on DuPont's website there is the statement "DuPont – the green company". That makes me sick to the stomach. The research I've conducted due to my vocation tells a whole other story… but that's for another time.

The Prison called Gaza

3 years, 5 months ago in , by JohnnyBoy?
The situation for the Palestinians, particularly those in the now-virtual-jail of Gaza, is becoming so extreme as to leave one short of adequate descriptive words.

Who can blame anyone for seeing parallels between the Palestinian situation and that of the Jews in the Holocaust. How ironic that the Jewish state is now on the other side of the issue.

Gaping holes in the presidency

3 years, 5 months ago in , by JohnnyBoy?
If you have any doubt that the Bush administration has extremely serious charges to answer, this excellent piece by Robert Scheer should convince all but the most loyal (or gullible) puppets of the Empire.
