1. “Is Osama Bin Laden dead or alive?
Regardless of whether bin Laden is still alive or not, by what criteria can he be considered the world’s most wanted man?
“I truly am not that concerned about him[Osama bin Laden]” George Bush: March of 2002
“The goal has never been to get bin Laden.” Richard Myers April of 2002.
“…a premature collapse of the international effort if by some lucky chance Mr. bin Laden was captured.” US official.
Nevertheless, it is good to see more documentaries questioning the official explanations behind the War on Terror.
“The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.“
- Aldous Huxley -
…
The great irony is “they” can get away with insulting some people’s intelligence because there are a lot of people who truly believe they are too intelligent to be fooled and it’s easier to believe “truthers” are crazy idiots. Actually they have no intelligence to insult.
It’s a form of mental illness that someone can’t accept being wrong.”

2. No kidding:
“Israeli general Brigadier-General Uzi Eilam denies Iran is nuclear threat
“The intelligence community are spreading frightening voices about Iran,” he said.
He suggested that the “defence establishment is sending out false alarms in order to grab a bigger budget” while some politicians have used Iran to divert attention away from problems at home.
“Those who say that Iran will obtain a bomb within a year’s time, on what basis did they say so?” he asked. “Where is the evidence?”

3. “Why Republicans are Worried
The corporate media are in the tank for a Republican comeback in 2010, and the GOP may in fact pick up some seats in the Senate and the House, though if employment ticks up by the fall, not as many as some are implying. The corporate media made a big deal about two Democrats who are stepping down but not about 6 Republicans who are. But the long-term trends look good for the Democratic Party.
Political views are formed in young adulthood and for most people remain stable in later life. Republican wedge issues such as gay-bashing, cutting government services and help to people, and the promise of more wars are increasingly unattractive to the younger generation and that is unlikely to change soon. We could be on the verge of another FDR moment, of a long period of Democratic dominance.”
