I mean, any sane person with a reasonable degree of intellegence would say WTF repeatedly while watching this joker tonight.

Scores of obvious contradictions and outright lies flood from the mans mouth like puu oo lava from the Kilauea volcano.

And yet, here comes the corporate media gaggle swooning and wetting their pants about Our Great And Fearless Leader!!!

pfffttt!!!

People under communist tyranny learned that Pravda (Truth) was really lies. And they learned to read betwwen the lines to find the real truth.

Same's true today. Except the samizdat isn't printed, but bytes in cyberspace.

1. You shoulc check out the new pravda.ru
I write on the english forum sometimes, and it is a brilliant zone
of free speech, less moderated than DU... that there are even some
real shits on there, but free speech and respect for truth are most
profoundly impressive on that board.

2. What, you haven't been paying attention to the U.S. media lately?
It's been Pravda-City for years now.

3. the M$MW think that as long as they pretend everything is going swell
the people will buy it.

the elite is panicked that the people may wake up, they are betting on our collective ADD, fostered by their programming, but the pocket book is causing more and more to pay attention and that will be the neoCONs and the M$MW downfall.

peace
