1.  “How Israel’s Propaganda Machine Works

7) The last refuge…. When all else fails, point to a few examples of outrageous anti-Semitism, generalize them, suggesting that that is what motivates critics. It stings, and may be over-used, but it can silence or put critics on the defensive.

2.  A good historical review:

“From Guernica to Gaza: The History of Terror Bombing Victims

Strategic bombing involves destroying an adversary’s economic and military ability to wage war. It targets its war making capacity and related infrastructure. Terror bombing is another matter. It’s against civilians to break their morale, cause panic, weaken an enemy’s will to fight, and inflict mass casualties and punishment.

3.  ““9/11 and Nationalist Faith

Guns And Butter – Broadcast January 07, 2009

Dr. David Ray Griffin shows that the greatest obstacle to seeing the truth – that 9/11 was an inside job – is not the lack of evidence, but what can be called “nationalist faith” – the belief that America is the “exceptional nation”, whose leaders never deliberately do anything truly evil, at least to their own citizens.”

4.  “The roofline of WTC1 (The North Tower) begins dropping with sudden onset and accelerates uniformly downward at about 64% of the acceleration of gravity (g) until it disappears into the dust. This means it is meeting resistance equal to about 36% of its weight. The implication of this, however, is that the force it is exerting on the lower section of the building is also only 36% of the weight of the falling section. This is much less than the force it would exert if it were at rest. The acceleration data thus prove that the falling top section of the building cannot be responsible for the destruction of the lower section of the building.

5.  So much for the claim that unemployment is not as bad as in the Great Depression:

“Bush’s Last Month Sees Unemployment Hit 22%

Per the discussion on the right-wing’s efforts to slander Franklin Roosevelt, note that though the Bureau of Labor Statistics today reports that the unemployment rate in President Bush’s last month is 7.2 percent, if you use the same kind of absurd math conservatives use to berate the New Deal, then the unemployment today is actually around 22 percent.”
