Media Spin, Limited Hangout, and the Melting of the American Mind
2007-04-10

When political debate in the US lies between "Should Gonzales stay or go?" or "Should we send 30,000 more troops in Iraq or not?", with no mention of impeachment and jail time for the Bush gang, you know there's a problem. The Signs editors look at a recent editorial page in USA Today and are shocked at how far political discourse has deteriorated... and it takes a lot to shock us!

We spend a lot of time gathering the news from many sources here at SOTT. We go all over the world via the Internet to bring the news to our readers. Of course, you won't find much, if anything, from Fox News, and very little from sources like USA Today, the "national" newspaper in the US of A. We can't get Fox TV so we are spared the most outrageous of the propaganda and brainwashing.

Every once in awhile, however, a real newspaper from the axis of evil falls into our hands. So it happened that a couple of days ago, we came across the Easter weekend edition of USA Today. We were so astonished by the lies and subterfuges it contains that we were inspired to do a podcast.

Release of Iranian Diplomat exposes US and British origin of Iraqi death squads and "sectarian" bombings

The 15 British Marines (who were in fact spying on Iran) were barely off the plane yesterday morning before Blair, Smeagol-like, turned on the Iranians and, with no evidence whatsoever, accused them of being responsible for the - timely from Blair's point of view - deaths of 4 British soldiers in Iraq.

Britain 'Humiliated By Iran' Over Hostages

Britain has been "humiliated" by Iran over the hostage crisis - even as President Ahmadinejad promises to release our 15 captives, a leading analyst claimed today.

Robert Bailey, a Middle East specialist, said that Iran had made Britain look "hapless" in front of their Arab neighbours, particularly Iraq.

And he said that Britain had handled the situation badly by refusing to apologise to the Iranians, and questioned why the Royal Marines and sailors were verging on Iranian waters in the first place.

ADL Pressured Media To Suppress Israeli 9-11 Connection

"What are you doing putting this stuff out there? You're killing us!"

These were the words of Abraham Foxman, executive director of the infamous Anti-Defamation League, considered by many in the know to be nothing more than a domestic branch of Israel's intelligence service Mossad.

Terrorist group inside Iran has been secretly advised by U.S. officials since 2005

A Pakistani tribal militant group responsible for a series of deadly guerrilla [terrorist] raids inside Iran has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005, U.S. and Pakistani intelligence sources tell ABC News. The group, called Jundullah, is made up of members of the Baluchi tribe and operates out of the Baluchistan province in Pakistan, just across the border from Iran.

It has taken responsibility for the deaths and kidnappings of more than a dozen Iranian soldiers and officials. U.S. officials say the U.S. relationship with Jundullah is arranged so that the U.S. provides no funding to the group, which would require an official presidential order or "finding" as well as congressional oversight.

Comment: There ya have it folks, America is actively supporting "terrorists" in its "war on terror", which clearly needs to be renamed the "war OF terror".

Unbelievable Hypocrisy: Beresovsky created charity foundation for poisoned spy

The wife and friends of poisoned former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko planned to launch a charitable foundation in his name.

Marina Litvinenko, who kept vigil by her husband's side as he lay dying from a lethal dose of radioactive polonium-210, will be joined by Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky and the her husband's close friend Alex Goldfarb to announce the creation of the Litvinenko Justice Foundation.

Litvinenko, 43, who died at a London hospital in November, was a forceful critic of the Kremlin, and in a deathbed statement accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being behind his death, allegations the Russian government denies.

Flashback Putin Enemy Litvinenko May Not Have Been Killed by Putin, But by Another Putin Enemy

Was the use of polonium to kill Litvinenko a clue to the identity of the killer or killers?

There is increasing evidence that the radioactive poisoning assassination of ex-KGB and FSB agent and Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko was the result of a plot by anti-Vladimir Putin criminal syndicates based in Britain, Israel, Ukraine, and Poland to embarrass the Russian government.

SOTT Focus: Litvinenko: By Way Of Deception - Part 2

Steele Litvinenko
A web of intrigue and dirty tricks, with British intelligence at the heart of it
One of the many strange things surrounding the murder of Alexander Litvinenko is the fact that it is being discussed at all. The exact details of the method used to assassinate him, his 3 week hospitalization, with pictures supplied by Lord Bell (more about him below) and Litvinenko's ultimate death have all been publicized to the greatest extent possible. This, it has to be said, is somewhat surprising given that covert intelligence matters (even those involving intelligence agencies of other nations) are usually kept covert.
