SHOCKING TRUTH REVEALED!!!
…Nobody read 250,000 of anything over the weekend.
Everywhere I look this morning it’s WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks!!! WIKILEAKS!!!
And all of the “experts” are acting like they have some knowledge about a quarter million documents. None of these guys have read 250,000 documents. None of these Nimrods pundits has a staff that read 250,000 documents.
Nobody does.
Here are some typical, histrionic Drudge link headlines…
Iran ‘smuggled arms’ to Hezbollah on ambulances…
Iran and Hezbollah in bed together…who knew?
Hillary Clinton ordered diplomats to spy on UN leaders…
Good!
Iran obtained missiles from NKorea…
Iran and North Korea in bed together…who knew?
China conducting computer sabotage…
Eek!
Saudis are chief financiers for al Qaeda…
The Saudis play both sides…who knew?
Saudis repeatedly urge US attack on Iran…
The Saudis play both sides…who knew?
My fave…
SENATORS: PROSECUTE THE LEAKERS!
Point is; again…none of these Pols and Pundits have read all of this stuff. I’d be surprised if they or their respective staffs have read any of it. There’s too much stuff. So, it’s not far fetched to surmise that somebody is feeding them headlines. Somebody is leaking the leaks.
And, there is too much stuff there to fact check.
It smacks of diversion.
If we get the Mo-Rons to get excited about 250,000 pieces of crap…maybe they won’t dig down deep. That’s what it looks like.
The “Think Tank” Agenda…
It seems to me that there is a growing trend in news stories involving “think tanks”. So a few minutes ago, I did a very cursory news search using the term and I was actually surprised at the pervasiveness of think tank driven news…
A conservative Montana think tank says it could save Montana taxpayers millions of dollars.
Ireland:
Ireland has already lost part of its sovereignty, says Dublin thinktank
UK:
A report for an influential think-tank has recommended merging tax and National Insurance, and aligning the tax treatment of all sources of income.
Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is stepping down as president and CEO of Liberty Central, the Tea Party-affiliated think tank she founded
Free Trade-
South Korea’s parliament will have to start over its ratification process of a pending free trade deal with the United States even if the ongoing talks lead only to changes in the agreement’s annexes or supporting documents, a policy think tank said Monday.
Why, if you look around, there’s a regular, international, think tank glut and these outfits are players in every issue of the time.
I’ve written a lot about the news being manipulated by press releases and, you know how my Bernays-inspired equation goes…
Press Release=P.R. Firm=Public Relations=PROPAGANDA!
I think I’m going to have to put in an addendum…
Think Tank=P.R. Firm!!!=Press Release=Public Relations=PROPAGANDA!…DAMMIT!!!
Wanna’ see something really scary?
George W. Bush breaks ground on presidential center
The facility in Dallas will include a library, museum and think tank.
What A Difference A Day Makes
Two separate Wall Street Journal stories just appeared in my reader. The first one from yesterday, the second from today.
New-home buying surged in June…
…Sales increased 23.6% from the previous month
Sales of new homes are near 47-year lows
Go figure.
