Beginning tomorrow, April 24, the army leadership is being grilled by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform (gently warmed and coddled is more likely) over the lies they told regarding the cover-up of the death of Pat Tillman and the manufacturing of the Jessica Lynch rescue story.It has been obvious for sometime that our media is totally corrupt and no longer serves the people or this nation. We also know that our military public relations is a self-serving propaganda machine. How can we trust any of our institutions in the future? Free countries don’t remain free when the government and public institutions are taken over by the wealthy elite and corporate cabals who own the media and all facets of government including our “elected” representatives - or more accurately - corporate hired and strategically placed operatives.
How can we trust a government that’s corrupt to its very soul?
Remember how in school we were taught that the US is a highly functioning democracy, honest and truthful, even saintly compared to most other nations and especially the communist regimes of the evil USSR and China that lied to their people and brainwashed them with national propaganda?
How are the last few decades here in the US much different from the USSR, China, and other despotic run nations back then?
Kennedy’s assassination was a cover-up as was Martin Luther King’s. Not only was the Gulf of Tonkin incident a lie but we were lied to about Viet Nam from the beginning. There is mounting evidence that we were lied to big-time about 9/11 and we certainly know we were lied to about WMD and the reasons for invading Iraq.
It’s a corporate owned congress and military folks. Our “president”, his administration, our CIA and most members of congress are all part of a larger corporate led conspiracy to control and manipulate the economic and military engine of the most powerful nation on earth to serve this elite cabal of competitive madmen.
This hearing should be good C-Span entertainment - like dark humor. I hope I'm wrong. I hope Henry Waxman turns the heat up and exposes how corrupt the system is and how little respect the military leadership has for our troops and this nation's people. Go to link in first sentence for details.
In Jessica Lynch's defense, she didn't play along with the official scam. After the dust settled and she had the chance to speak without fear of serious reprisal she told the truth. It will be interesting to see if "they" have bought her off.
Rock the boat!
