Bremer consultant opens fake organisation to "inform" about Iraq
Yesterday, I stumbled incidentally about a webpage called "The truth about Iraq" (
http://www.thetruthaboutiraq.org). On this page, a mostly anonymous "team comprised of experts with specific and relevant experience", lead by Steven Moore, a "political consultant" who "advised" the so called american "ambassador" Paul Bremer about iraqi public opinion, vows to "remind Americans that they can be proud of the good work being done in Iraq by the US and Coalition Forces".
The page consists of the typical republican propaganda about Iraq, but that's not surprising, because Moore worked for Bremer and via that way for the Bush administration. The real haunting fact is, that Moore is much more than "a public relations specialist" ( http://archive.tol.cz/Publications/RPE/RPE.960709.html) with private interest in Bush disinformation about Iraq. He gives "1415 L Street, Suite 430" in Sacramento, CA. as the registration address of the page ( http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=thetruthaboutiraq.org&type=domain), but that is not his own apartment, but the place of his business, "Gorton & Moore International". As one can see on this page( http://www.numbergreen.com:16080/gm/clients.html), Gorton & Moore (former known as "California Group") has worked for Governor Schwarzenegger, Governor & Senator Pete Wilson and, most interesting -Ambassador Paul Bremer-! I guess from these facts we can conclude that "The truth about Iraq" is a PR- offensive, financed or supervised by the GOP or the Bush- government itself. Moore tries to hide the connection between "The truth about Iraq" and "Gorton & Moore International" by giving "330 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 101" in Encinitas, CA, as contact address. But that dosen`t make ist better, because that place is the office of "Scott & Cronin LLP" ( http://www.thinkcpa.com/index.htm), a Certified Public Accounting firm, which has a branch for "political services", as can be seen at http://www.thinkcpa.com/html/services.htm , where Nancy Haley, the political division director of Scott & Cronin , hugs her client Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The truth about "The truth about Iraq" is, that it is a PR- coup with strong ties to or even backup from Schwarzenegger and/or the GOP. Mr. Moore was back from Iraq in May 2004, but he started his page at the beginning of September- early enough to have influence on some undecided voters for the presidential elections?!
P.S. Sorry for wrong orthography or grammer- english is not my mother- language!

I can't believe how anyone can oppose the Iraq war now given these polls, and the huge benefits it has brought to Iraq. Within a couple of years Iraqis will have built a real democracy with civil liberties, a parliamentary system of some kind, democratic local government, trade union rights, the right to protest unemployment and government policies, and so on. Rather than a totalitarian tyranny.
Oh and incidently they'll have the freedom to set up IMC alternative media things, anarchist and far left groups, "collectives", student radical movements, and so on. There will also be feminism, increasing women's rights, increasing secularism, and all sorts of other good things that the left is supposed to like.

A message from the new Iraqi Information Minister

Larry Saeed al-Sahaf
"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"
"Our initial assessment is that they will all die."
"God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of the US."
"Be assured. Baghdad is safe, protected"
"Who are in control, they are not in control of anything - they don't even control themselves!"
"We are not afraid of the insurgents. Jesus has condemned them. They are stupid. They are stupid" (dramatic pause) "and they are condemned."
"I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that they have started to commit suicide under the walls of Baghdad. We will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly."
"I can assure you that those villains will recognize, will discover in appropriate time in the future how stupid they are and how they are pretending things which have never taken place."
"I have detailed information about the situation...which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day."
"Lying is forbidden in Iraq. President Bush will tolerate nothing but truthfulness as he is a man of great honor and integrity. Everyone is encouraged to speak freely of the truths evidenced in their eyes and hearts."
"I can't believe how anyone can oppose the Iraq war now given these polls, and the huge benefits it has brought to Iraq.
