[Dr. Forbush Thinks] Deception: Americans believe resourcefulness and cleverness should be held in high esteem and should be praised. People who are not wise to these deceptions are “suckers.” The “good” person is the one who is deceptive and the “bad” person is the one who falls for the deception. We should identify with the “wise” deceiver and shun the “sucker.” In fact, marketing is evaluated on the number of people who are persuaded to buy a product based on a marketing campaign. The number of people persuaded per number of dollars spent adds to the company’s bottom line.

[The Observor] Proof They LIED!: prime minister as Bush's "poodle." The tone of the conversation bespeaks a foregone conclusion that Blair will wag his tail cheerfully and obey the learned commands. At one point he ventures the thought that, "If the political context were right, people would support regime change." This, after Attorney General Peter Goldsmith has already warned that the desire for regime change "was not a legal base for military action,"—a point Goldsmith made again just 12 days before the attack on Iraq until he was persuaded by a phalanx of Bush administration lawyers to change his mind 10 days later.

[VivekaJyoti] Finsbury Park mosque wields greater clout than Whitehall: 60.5% of the total NRK remittance was the contribution of the minority communities (See K.C. Zachariah & others, Study, report in 'The new Indian Express', Kochi, 22 July 2003). Again the total NRK remittance is 18,465 crore rupees and it is equivalent to seven times of the state government receipts as centre budgetary support or fifteen times of the earning from the cashew export or nineteen times of the States Marine Export. The annual average remittance per house hold is also shown wide imbalances.

[the daily lie] Jim Hoffman 9/11 Pentagon strike: Abdulla commented on the volatile situation: "There is no law in the streets, and there was a case of an ING killing an Iraqi policeman and people asked for an inquiry." He added: "Americans were inside with the ING who are peshmerga [members of the Kurdish militia]. The ING inside now are all peshmerga and Badr forces [Shi'ite militia of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution] who are doing the same humiliations and bad treatment that the Americans are doing."

[Reachm.com] The American Street » Blog Archive » Newfound old quotes of Mass ...: Everybody is fond of looking back at Desert Storm and saying that it was, in fact, a low cost conflict because we didn’t suffer very many casualties. But for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it was not a cheap or a low cost conflict. The question, to my mind, in terms of this notion that we should have gone on and occupied Iraq is how many additional American casualties would we have had to suffer? How many additional American lives is Saddam Hussein worth?

[Forbeswolfe.com] Forbes Wolfe: In June, the National Science Foundation said it would award $16 million in grants focused on nanotech and the environment, and most recently, a report by Britain's Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering urged the government to fund studies of nanoparticle toxicity, particularly manufactured nanoparticles not fixed within a larger material. The report stressed the significant unknowns, such as how nanoparticles enter the body and what effect they have when they do, as well as how non-biodegradable nanoparticles will affect ecosystems and food chains.

[Gorillaradioblog.blogspot.com] Gorilla Radio blog: The Shattered Glass: Few Americans know that America's involvement in World War I was triggered by a deliberate deception known as the sinking of the Lusitania, which was a passenger ship torpedoed by a German U-boat that changed public opinion in America from neutral to pro-war. 128 Americans died and America eventually went to war over the incident, after first concealing that the Lusitania was covertly carrying ammunition to Britain, and that fact had been deliberately leaked to German intelligence to assure a suitable public affront to American dignity.
