Another Czar thinks America is a terrorist state.

What, if anything, has struck you most about the coverage of the 9.11.01 events?

Robert McChesney: That it has been blatant propaganda. Propaganda is the word that's most striking when you look at the nature of the press coverage.*snip*
Like Bush saying that the attackers did this because they "hate freedom?"
Yeah. In fact, even if you read the CIA's own internal documents, they're all about how the US is supporting sleazeball governments, and we're doing all sorts of terrible stuff. At a certain level, the people in our government understand that that's just public relations hooey, but our journalism gravitates towards that and sticks with it. So, most Americans see this terrible act and they think, "Gosh, we're such a great country—these people are obviously just pure evil. That's the only explanation."

Likewise, Americans have no idea of the United States' own history in the world as a supporter of terrorism. The United States is, I think, by any honest account, the leading terrorist institution in the world today. I think it was Amnesty International, just a few years ago in one of its reports, that wrote that on any given day, some government or private organization is torturing, abusing, or killing people anywhere in the world, and chances are, more often than not, that it's a US-sponsored group or government.

One example of this that is most striking in the case of the Middle East is our support of sanctions against the government of Iraq, which, by the UN's own reckoning, has led up to the death of up to a million civilians, including perhaps as many as 500,000 children. All in an effort to make life basically so unbearable for the poor people of Iraq—the weakest people of Iraq—that they'll rise up and revolt and overthrow the government of Saddam Hussein.

What is that, if not terrorism? 500,000 children murdered to get rid of a government you don't like—what's the difference between that and what Osama bin Laden is accused of doing in New York and Washington DC?

The citizens of the US are allowing their government be taken over and changed into a socialist regime. Wouldn't it be great if we could get a Conservative Government in place, who would force these morons be tried for crimes against the people of the US.

"Returning the wealth to its rightful owners" is a key concept which has been slowly but surely ingrained in America's school children since the late sixties and seventies.  Today's ninnies have been throughly indoctrinate. How many years more will we celebrate Columbus day?  Whoa, what a Eueocentric / Anglo concept that is, hey? In some texts Columbus is guilty of genocide on a greater scale than Hitler. 

I am currently reading a book by Diane Ravitch "The Language Police" which should be required reading for any parent with children of school age.  We have not arrive at this point by chance. Multiculturalism in all its glory is just another stepping stone on the path socialism and subservience. :tinfoil2:
