The Hypocrisy Factory
There’s lots of work for two faced sons of bitches these days. There’s even a brain drain of two faced sons of bitches as Amerika recruits them for their propaganda efforts. As the world tyrant and the greatest disseminator of lies chaos and weapons of mass destruction, they need to keep themselves busier than ever to maintain business as usual. Singling out lies is as hard as doing an overview, so it’s hard to pinpoint where this one will land. Oh, how about torture videos.
It gets revealed that soldiers and private contractors, on order from above ‘softened up’ Iraqi citizens in Saddam’s worst prison. Of the three thousand prisoners only ten have ever been charged with anything. So the rest are there without rights or charge, detained indefinitely just in case they know some one who knows something. This is the freedom which Amerika has brought to Iraq. And somehow some two faced sons of bitches have been given the full-time job of justifying it.
They are taking two approaches. The first is to say that they deserve it because they’re murderers and rapists and there’s a war on and Amerika has to do whatever they want (have to) to protect their troops. First of all there’s not a war on, it’s over and they won. Now set the peace and fuck off. Why, if there’s no enemy, but just Iraqi citizens, is there still an army shooting people? To set the domestic agenda? That’s none of their fucken business. This is an independent country, this is not Amerika’s country to do with what they see fit. Release their leader to an independent body. He is not an enemy combatant, he is the former president of Iraq. Right or wrong, he is not your possession. And of course the other point is they are not murderers and rapists these prisoners, very few have been charged. And even if they were rapists, raping them is not democratic justice.
It seems living in Saddam’s mansion has gone to Paul Bremer’s head and now he thinks he is Saddam. Fair enough, if that’s his act then he’s filling in the shoes nicely, and should in the end get the same treatment. Perhaps the Amerikan army should start bombing itself back to the stone age.
The other approach is this decapitation video released by ‘al Qaeda’. That’s got some Swiss cheese in it’s explanation. First: they never use the words al Qaeda in their video; second they’re all white guys; third this guy was obviously dead before being decapitated; fourth the guy who identifies himself as the leader has been known to be dead for months; fifth Berg was in Amerikan custody right until the day before this happened and even wearing Amerikan prison garb in the video; sixth the timing is too perfect. And I mean TOO perfect as it was supposedly in retaliation, yet he was murdered before the torture photos of the prisoners were released. Oops? No one will notice, they all still think Saddam blew up the World Trade Centre.
Tell you what: the same people who blew up the World Trade Centre are the same people who bombed the train in Madrid and the same people who gassed the Kurds in Iraq…and they’re the same people who are torturing Iraqis now.
Yep, lot’s of work for two faced sons of bitches. So much there’s little time to spare for domestic issues like saying Amerikan beef is safe because they’ve stopped testing their cattle, or that chopping down all the trees is fire prevention. So little time to build lies on lies, so many lies to build.
