New Pentagon video

Magda, thank you for articulating the feelings of some of us Americans who have a logically functioning brain and aren't afraid to use it. Everything that you mentioned continues to piss me off, and I think it should piss every American off. Too many people accept what our government says as the gospel truth without looking deeper for the actual reasons that a particular thing or event happened. As George Seldes once said, once you learn to look for the truth and accept it, you will largely be immune from propaganda. That, and when you find the socio-ecomonic reasons behind an event, you will understand why it happened the way it did.

As for what the government has done to piss Charles off, it's pissed me off too and I am not even American. Ponzi banking schemes facilitated by the Treasury. Wars for oil in all sorts of places. Installing US friendly dictators where ever it can while telling the world it is a freedom loving democracy. Failing to investigate in any meaningful way the assassination of its own president. Failing to acknowledge it is the victim of a coup d'etat. Failing to prosecute those behind it while all sorts of resources were put into COINTEPRO and killing innocent citizens. Fake elections. Corporate personhood. Committing war crimes of the most heinous nature and telling everyone there will be no justice no accountability like it is just a parking offence and that what we need to do is to look forward, not backwards and everything will be just fine and dandy. With that sort of record it is only sensible to expect anything they say and do to be yet another nefarious plot and part of endless cover up for multiple crimes. What's not to be pissed off about? And if you aren't pissed off why not?

There is no reason that we should have to live with that level of cognitive dissonance even if the US administration is content to live in their fantasy world.
