Is Ours a Free Press?
"Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell."
- Hugo Black, American jurist and politician, 1886-1971 (As quoted by Christopher Bollyn, 08/25/10.)
Well, when you put it that way. nope.
"The press is the hired agent of a monied system, and set up for no other purpose than to tell lies where their interests are involved. One can trust nobody and nothing."
- Henry B. Adams (1838-1918), President of the American Historical Association (Ditto.)
How Dead Is He? He's So Dead...
Hillary Clinton claims he's alive. So, I've got to wonder. So does O'Reilly and, no doubt, Hannity. That's all the proof I need.
But then there's this guy to ice the cake:
I especially liked this paragraph:
"While the mainstream media rarely if ever question the belief that bin Laden is still alive, some cracks have been appearing in the consensus. In a September 11, 2009 piece in Britain’s Daily Mail, Sue Reid wondered, “What if everything we have seen or heard of him on video and audio tapes since the early days after 9/11 is a fake—and that he is being kept ‘alive’ by the Western allies to stir up support for the war on terror?”
I've been lied to enough that, of necessity, I'm skeptical. I don't endorse this website; I don't wholly endorse much of anything. But, I believe this one article has it pretty well pegged.
I'm not anti-Israel. However, I am anti being lied to. I am anti being manipulated-- by the media, by our government, by Israelis, by anybody.
Come on, Israel. Fess Up
"A sane world cannot possibly have two standards of judgment on nuclear transparency, one for Iran, and quite another for Israel."-- Editor's comment,
www.whatreallyhappened.com ,on a story, "Arab nations urge U.S. to end support of Israel's nuclear secrecy" in
www.haaretz.com today.
Come on, Israel. Fess up. Just what good does it do, anyway, to try to live a lie that everyone knows is a lie. It makes you look stupid.
And makes the rest of us crazy.
Right On, Hutton
"Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society. When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil."-- Hutton Gibson,"Enough?",
