The neoconservative
cabal that lied
us into war is emboldened,
empowered, and bursting with bloodlust.
The sacrifice of yet more Americans and despised
Middle Eastern Arabs on the altar of the war god has them
drooling with sweet anticipation. They have no compunctions
no "second
thoughts" about their disastrous policy of war
and occupation. The casualties, the chaos, the rise of the
American bully as the Bull
Connor
of the world from their sick
point of view, this is a great success.
How did
they do it? How did they pull the wool over the eyes of a
nation and lead us by the nose into the abyss of endless war?
In a word:
Propaganda.
Their
campaign
of lies pushed by the pro-war
media, in concert with the well-funded
thinktanks and Washington's ever-present
insiders who
profit from war and preparations for war is rolling
in money. The U.S. government, the war industry, the big
neocon foundations with multi-millions at their disposal
they are using all their resources to propagandize the American
people with their message of hubris
and fear.
Antiwar.com
is engaged in a counter-propaganda campaign, and our
role is more important than ever. That's why we can't let
the enormous resources of the War Party deter us from continuing
to speak truth to power. We don't need their billions but
we do need your support in order to continue the fight.
So far,
you've been very generous, with 447 of you contributing over
$20,000 in two days. That's wonderful, but we can't stop pleading
until we meet our goal of $50,000 for this quarter.
We need
you to help us get out the truth. Say no to the War Party.
Contribute today
so that we can live in a better tomorrow.
