What is going on here?

Today, we have the New York Times promoting:

1 – Bombing Iran (Benny Morris and others)

2 – Sending troops in and bombing Darfur (see Nicholas Kristof’s hundreds of columns!)

3 – Supporting the protests of the Beijing Olympics – which are ALL funded and motivated by dubious, and potentially corrupt, sources (like Reporters Without Borders, look up “Reporters Without Borders is a Fraud” to read more)

(When did we all walk through the mirror and into THIS upside down world?)

Here – nothing. Bombing the “barbarians” is acceptable.

Boeing is collecting a cool $700 million for the work.

It won’t work for the supposed “purpose” for which it was built. But it does work in other, much more subversive ways, as do all fortified “borders”.

The real toll is ultimately psychological, but elusive and subtle.

It is not just that an agent whose first loyalty to a foreign power is defining the US borders, making the line on a map a line of steel on the ground.

This is WRONG!

The war-mongering editorial in Friday’s (6/18/08) New York Times [this time, instead of Darfur, they are advocating bombing Iran!] Using bombs to stave off war proves yet again that the New York Times has been seriously compromised ethically.

Here is author Benny Morris, from a 2004 interview: [Referring to Sharon's Security Wall] “Something like a cage has to be built for them. I know that sounds terrible. It is really cruel. But there is no choice. There is a wild animal there that has to be locked up in one way or another.”.

This is very sad news. I as well as countless others, have TRUSTED the New York Times in an era of an alarmingly narrow window of media afforded this priceless pact.

Those days are over.

Reprinted in the International Herald Tribune [of course, where else?] is the full, New York Times editorial, whose phony tone appeals for the moral “ok” from readers to do nothing less than to bomb Iran!

THIS IS NOT OK!!

We are not starting another war!

What really surprises me is that, if so-called “Muslim terrorists” were really serious, they’d be targeting insects like Morris and our own Likudniks. They’re fairly soft targets, unlike politicians, yet capable of doing so much damage.

That’s why I believe that this whole “us-vs-them” crap is just an Orwellian charade with both “Muslim terrorist” leaders and our own bunch in on the scam.

Threatening people with annihilation puts them in an uncomfortable position where they will do anything to gain some leverage or level the playing field.

Of course you won’t hear anything from the UN Nuclear “watchdogs” about doing examinations of “potential” Israeli weapons sites. Israel ignores the UN like it does not exist, they have more than 2 dozen UN Resolutions against them, when is somebody planning to introduce sanctions against them?
