THE ANATOMY OF PROPAGANDA

Who says Hillary's war room was closed? The White House war room was closed, but its counterpart at the Democratic National Committee headquarters sure isn't. Hence, we were bombarded with a week's worth of very stupid propaganda.

Actually, certain DNC sycophants working on Capitol Hill should be on their way to prison by now. But, they have yet to be arrested.

The Senate Intelligence Committee received a few hundred classified documents from the White House. The aides of Committee Democrats were requested to go over all documents to find whatever might be embarrassing to the Bush Administration. Late one afternoon, they found a certain FBI report and gave it to members of the DNC's war room. Everything thereafter was little more than "spin" by the uninformed.

They leaked the classified document to AP. Apparently AP will publish anything the Democrats give them, so they ran the spin from the DNC war room's point of view. That was without, we should add, any input from the White House whatsoever. The Bush Administration didn't even get a courtesy call.

The next day, the liberal TV morons in the morning all ran with the story. Again, not one of these DNC sycophants bothered to do the slightest bit of background research. They had information that could be damning to President Bush, the DNC wanted it out, so they all gleefully ran with the story.

As soon as Tom Daschle and Dick Gephadrt got to work that morning, they joined right in, as if choreographed puppets of the DNC war room -- "What did he know and when did he know it."

Not wanting to be left out, Senator Joe Lieberman, the founder of all the Congressional socialist organizations (New Democrat Network(1), Democratic Leadership Council(2) and other "Third Way" socialist groups) sent out Hillary Clinton to be the official skunk at the Bush garden party. She was stupid enough to do it, too, as Lieberman knew she would.

So, what do we have here: A couple Hill Rats working for the Senate Intelligence Committee leak a classified document. The DNC puts their spin on it and hands it off to their operatives in the major media, who spew it to the public as if it were fact. Then the liberal nincompoops in Congress repeat what the liberal media have reported.

The problem is, not one of them ever bothered to check their facts. All of them, up and down the line, got it wrong. In their collective glee to start a scandal about President Bush they, in fact, perpetrated a lie.

Sure, by the end of the week they were all trying to back off some. Their lie didn't hold water. They were found out. No matter, they want an investigation anyway.

Fastest on the correction was Matt Drudge.(3) Drudge pulled out major media stories showing that, as far back as five years ago, terrorist plots to hijack commercial aircraft and crash them into the Pentagon, the CIA headquarters and other buildings, were reported.

Fancy that, eh? The major media didn't even look into their own computers to check the accuracy of the DNC's war room nonsense. So, Drudge did it for them. A quick search shows there were over 50 such reports published within the last 5 years.

So, does anyone bother to ask Tom Daschle, Dick Gephadrt, Joe Lieberman or Hillary Clinton why they didn't know? It seems like that should be the first question put to them by any good reporter. But, no one is asking.

Did major media apologize to the public for perpetrating a lie? Nope! They didn't even retract their stories. Instead, they kept on running with whatever the far-left in Congress wanted to say.

There's more, though. What these trouble making morons on Capitol Hill should have known was the 1999 Congressional Library report titled "Sociology and Psychology of Terrorism"(4) that was distributed all over Washington back then. Among the other warnings in the report, it states: "Suicide bomber(s) belonging to al-Qaida's Martyrdom Battalion could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives (C-4 and semtex) into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or the White House."

There were also at least two widely distributed military reports indicating the same thing. All of these reports were published while Clinton was president.

So, again we see the one thing all these socialists have in common: They lie a lot. That some are also part of the media makes no nevermind. It's still untrue.

Aides of the Senate Intelligence Committee leaked the classified document to AP. Apparently AP will publish anything the Democrats give them, so they ran the spin from the DNC war room's point of view. That was without, we should add, any input from the White House whatsoever.

Those of you who are not familiar with political terms may find a list of defintions handy at

http://www.uhuh.com/definiti.htm

We have known since 1993 that OBL was coming for us. We have known at least since then that the Iraqis were involved, and that Saudi money was involved.

Neither of these items are secret, that the 1993 WTC plotters had Iraqi connections, nor that OBL was backed by Saudi money.

So to accuse Bush of knowing in advance that OBL was going to attack us is like accusing him of knowing the sun was coming up the next morning. He knew it, and so did everyone on the Intelligence committee, and so did everyone out in the public who pays attention to the news.

Stories were circulating in the weeks prior to 9/11 that OBL was planning something really big. So I knew it, probably most of the people reading this website had seen these reports. And if we knew, then you know the congressmen knew or should have known.

The problem is that tough political decisions can not be made in a peactime environment. We are now in wartime, and we still flinch at making obvious moves against foreigners from Al Qaeda nations; it will take one more dramatic event before those actions will be politically possible.

And there is the reality that the kind of people who rise in a peace-time military, and a peace-time CIA, are not the kind of people you need to fight a war. Once the war starts, (and the war has started), action-oriented people begin to be identified. Action oriented policies begin to be implemented. It takes time, but the shift is underway. I would suggest that investigations to figure out what went wrong with the CIA and the military are unnecessary; what went wrong is that it was peacetime. Tough actions are not appropriate in peacetime. But we have been attacked, we have an identifiable adversary, and we are now finding the right people to do the job.

...And here Bill CLINTON was allowing himself the credit for founding all those Third Way organizations!! Isn't Clinton STILL their fearless leader? (I haven't cruised any Third Way cesspit sites in two years) No, I didn't check the links. I was GOING to...then the overwhelming need to wash my hands in bleach came upon me...think I'll go take a shower.

Great commentary, BTW. BUMP.

Did someone say "third way"? Propaganda?

... So in 1919, Mussolini came up with an alternative strategy. He called it Fascism. Mussolini described his new movement as a ``Third Way'' between capitalism and communism. As under communism, the state would exercise dictatorial control over the economy. But as under capitalism, the corporations would be left in private hands.

Hitler followed the same game plan. He openly acknowledged that the Nazi party was ``socialist'' and that its enemies were the ``bourgeoisie'' and the ``plutocrats'' (the rich). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler eliminated trade unions, and replaced them with his own state-run labor organizations. Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler hunted down and exterminated rival leftist factions (such as the Communists). Like Lenin and Stalin, Hitler waged unrelenting war against small business.A Little Secret About the Nazis.

Joseph Goebbel's own words: "Those Damn Nazis", long German propaganda piece defining intent and meaning of the Nazi's....National, Socialists....left-wing, "third way."
