The inexorable tide of propaganda.

First off, there is the opinion piece on Al Jazeera by Scott Ritter: entitled "The US war with Iran has already begun". It reminds me of a few years back (August 2001)when I read a National Geographic piece on Afghanistan decrying the destruction of some historical statues. I thought at the time, that's odd, I wonder why this is such a big story. I keyed in on it, and started noticing a lot of stories about how bad the Taliban was. The Taliban had been bad like this for years, but suddenly it seemed to be a major story. I said to myself that it almost seems like we're getting revved up for war, that we were being fed propaganda to make us willing to go to war. Then 9/11 happened the next month.... hmmm said I.

Have you noticed how much coverage the Iranian election got this year? A lot more than ever before? Always with references to the Mullahs having veto power over candidates, etc.

Things that make you paranoid...
