The Change

11.04.2003 12:49

Perhaps it is because they have dropped the propaganda and the spin and are now telling the truth. Has it ever occured to you that you might be wrong--that perhaps you have fallen prey to paranoia and conspiracy theories? The media bitched and moaned for the first two weeks of this war with doom and gloom predictions. Once they began to see that they were consistently wrong, they quit catering to the loudmouthed 25% of the population that were wrong, and began reporting a little more truthfully.

Yes ann, and the truth is?

4 - 8000 civilians dead
15 - 25 000 civilians injured
Infra structure pulverised
Gov institutios - non functional
Industry - oil, for amerikan use only

Not only that, the desparately needed medical supplies PAID FOR BY THE IRAQ PEOPLE, are still being blocked in over 90% of the country, as is the food and other emergency supplies PAID FOR BY THE IRAQ PEOPLE.

Depleted uranium litters the country, water supplies have been severly disturbed, lawlessness and the rootlesss looting and degeneration of social order threaten to take the weak and the meek in favour of the ruthless and the strong.

A billion eyes stare at the causes and see a differnt picture to you.

But we were wrong, right.

The Iraq people folded, in the face of superor machines.

And now the butcher of Shatila announces to 'the palestinian people' that they must 'take note of what happened in Iraq'.

Syria, Iran, N.Korea, Lybia ....

Feel safer?

Jump in the SUV, have a buger, watch a movie (there's a good one on about a bunch of brainless amerikan teenagers), CNN/BBC/ will tell you if the picture changes.

The Communist-run BBC kept broadcasting pictures of injured and dead Iraqis, all of which were obviously faked as no Iraqis have died at all! They even kept interviewing Muslims, as though they were real people with valid opinions rather than Jew-hating misogynist Nazis!

Now at last the traitors have realised their crime and turned to the One True Path of Freedom and Democracy! Only positive images of heroic liberators from now on! Watch out Syria and Iran, freedom is coming in an Abrams tank!

it's been like that throughout the war

I noticed that as soon as the war began. Yesterday I compared Channel 4 and 5, both with fair coverage of the chaos and shootings of civilians at checkpoints, with ITV and BBC - both ignoring the worst of what's going on and trying to paint a positive picture.

Well, why not watch Channel 4 News instead, go to Al Jazeera's web site, or www.whatreallyhappened.com or just plain turn it off.
You have a choice & mine does not include BBC News!
