interesting media "black out " on the Downing street memo.

The US media has a great deal of power ...if it were able to use it constructively.

Whatever the media minmizes in its reporting is soon lost from the collective consciousness. What the media dramatizes (M.Jackson , runaway bride etc) remains in the forefront .

curious priorities.

Media censorship is alive and well in the US. As most USers rely only on their media for information.......they are not able to discern if the information they are getting is complete.

(ergo the critical importance of sourcing out information from sources OUTSIDE the US now)


(thanks Joe for the very appropriate 'toons) :)

Downing street 11

One has to wonder how it has become "acceptable" to a supposedly progressive society , to lie , spin, in order to invade , kill , maim...and destroy a far off nation that posed no threat to the US.

What happened to the ethical/moral core/standard of the nation??---the same one that "preaches" the "higher" standard.....???

It is like watching the US implode from within :cry:

Check this out OB here

hi mrmom.

actually this is no surprise , as when one correlates the data that is "known"...... there is a certain "thread " there.

thanks for the link. (had not seen that before)

Kinda suspected that part of the "motivation" had something to do with his own inadequacies as a person. ----and the son /father rivalry .

strategy of lies.


Hard to believe that "Americans" would get so bent out of shape about some personal philandering,(the Bill/Monica series) yet be so complacent about lies that have killed so many. (including their own fine troops)

hmm. maybe Bill should have said something about "freedom, democracy , (freedom of sexual expression being his right etc) and then it would have been fine.

who knows how these "minds" work?? :?:

hi mrmom. check out the video on the last link I posted.

things just might be coming apart. (HOPING......big time)

will be interesting to watch as more people assertively question the bush administration. (of course bush will repeat the same pat-robotic - responses (lies).......as he usually does. :twisted:

(still can't believe they actually "re-elected" this bozo. ---remember the "anyone but bush" slogans??? )

.........."they " had no choice but to find a way to "make it "legal"........ ergo the threat of WMD.
