So what was the biggest news event to occur this week?

I think if it had been privatized there would not be a problem. It’s the bureaucracy that’s the problem. But for a lesson on propaganda I would say just watch the coverage. But it’s been upstaged however. John Stossel had it pretty much correct.

Government: The Real Thug in New York

But since this is about the propaganda involved with the NSA monitoring of people known to be communicating with terrorists. I'll throw a prediction at you. The current patsy that there using as smokescreen to shield the members of the intelligence committee that actually are the ones who leaked the classified information. It does make for a tantalizing story though. Ex employee fired a years ago with associations to known liar Joe Wilson, and CIA desk jockey Vallery Plame. Fact of the matter is its democrats that have access to this classified information simply by way of there appointment to committee position. The alleged "whistle blower" as I understand it sent two e-mails or letters to two ranking members of congress both coincidentally republican members airing his grief’s at the same time at the times broke the story they had been sitting on for a year. That’s pure unadulterated (as we say in Texas) BULL SHIT. I can smell from miles away.
And it to cover the real Benedict Arnold (famous American traitor)
Who knows maybe that scumbag girl raping and murdering Kennedy. Whoever it is the media is protecting the person.

 

Since we are talking about propaganda we surely cannot miss this big whopper it would be like missing the fact that there was a turd floating in the punch bowl.

As quoted from gopsenators.com

Forty of forty five members of the Democrat Senate Caucus took money from Jack Abramoff, his associates, and Indian tribe clients. Below is a breakdown of how much each Democrat Senator received:

Holy Shit !

The Media lables Abramoff a republical sweetheart? Looks like he spreads it evenly accross the power spectrum.

Looks to me like the corruption-problem in the states is not one of bureoucracy and government, but that the "contribution"-circus lays it open for any corporate scumbag to bribe hhis way to power. This could have been avoided with a state free from reliance on moneymen.

Its hard to see were the "contributions" stop and the corruptions start.

I never understood why you guys wanted to pay the extra dough neccesary for a private healthcare.

Another thing I never understood is why its so much better with teen-pregnancies than with information about bodily functions in school.

As for propaganda, FucxNjuice had a BIG story ( Next to WAR on Christmas ) that attacked California. They ran ONE students private research , as an example of the whole states "immorality".

This scewered presentation makes it impossible to believe any of their statements. This kind of presentation spells LIE, to anyone that knows how contradictory arguments are built up. I believe that this LIE. Shaping historical facts to suit the current agenda, ( As yopur Vietnam-presentation ) is what made it impossible for history-major :lol: GWB to know or consider the implications of the Iraq-invasion. Thats it. YOu NEED self-critique to stay sharp. The most defaitist anti-american argument i have heard the last few years is the one that goes "If you dont like our policy, why dont you go live somewhere else" ! THATS the looser ! Thats the one that will crawl and hide in a cave and doom america through its "patriotism".

As for the kennedy-rapist, as well as OJ, Wacko and all those corporate fartfixers that Bush got of with the Hudson River "PROTECTION?!?" Plan and such wordwrenching bull. The USA is a big thing to cover and that builds preassure on lawenforcement and political purity. And honour to those that ACTUALLY fight the good fight. But the USA can harm itself and others by believing in the stories it had to make up, as counter-stories to the marxist-leninist-maoist-fairietales.

As for Bat Pukeannan. He will need more than a good lawyer to free him from his abuse of scripture. A worse bibletumpin darkclad apostle of torture and terror is seldom seen. In the bible we all have to choose at some point. Maybe, like Bush he can plead stupidity :evil:

 

Xerx you have been way out there lately a few post back I started to ask if there were actually two people using the same name.

Privatized medicine? That’s such an old argument. We have the best in the world. You see anyone jumping in a jet and flying from America to Albania, Russia, Venezuela, Peru for a serious heart operation?

That’s laughable really there is no comparison the debate is so easy to win, but I'm bored with it.

American corruption is there to be seen more transparent than any other country in the world. And there is plenty of corruption elsewhere. My only complaint is that there is a system in place by the powers that be in the media and liberal activist judges to stack the cards on one sides favor. During the Clinton regime it was made well known that the government was for sale to the highest bidder to anyone that had influence. But the ignorant middle and lower class were kept in the dark. Anyone who tried to bring it to light was a radical right wing zealot. This is what breeds corruption more than anything. Creating rules can be a really powerful tool when you get to select when and how the rules are enforced. And then paint the picture to the ignorant masses that you want for them to see about what has occurred.

There is corruption in our country all right and 98% lands squarely at the feet of the socialist left wing.
