So many frauds have been perpetrated on the American people....
that I have a hard time remembering them all.

I participated in a thread, the other day, about all the fake things in the * regime. I went back once and did not go back again so I am not sure how much more was covered. But things kind of sit at the back of your brain and stew a bit while your subconscious thinks them over.

I was just struck with a thought about all the letters to the editor of papers across the country. Do you remember that? The LTTE were supposedly written my recruits overseas and all on their own. One person came out and said he never wrote a letter. Every single letter was worded the same.

I think the LTTE were one of the first fake scandals I had heard of and it was not the last, not by a long shot. The letters, at this point, are not important. I guess I am saddened that our government has tried to pull so much fraud on the American people that I can not even remember them all.

These frauds can not be explained away as being a spin on things. The government is intentionally trying to manipulate all of the people. They do not respect them for if they did they would not continually play con games on them.

We are a game to those higher up in the government. They pick a subject that they want to turn in their favor and they present it and present it again in all kinds of different ways until they can fool the majority of us into going along with the game plan. We are pawns in their game of chess. They have played the game so many times that I have lost count of the score.

It is a sad say when your government has told you so many lies that you can not possibly keep track.

1. It Is Enlightening That WE Still Don't Get Competely Fooled
So when they try, they fail each time. Like piling a debt, they will have to answer for it all.

4. answer to whom?
Poppy and Raygun got away with Iran Contra, the S&L lootings and a dozen other outrages. They're all rich. There's no justice.

5. No Justice? There Always is Justice
That's what those who commit crimes against humanity would love to believe...

8. I don't agree. I see very little evidence that there is justice
and less that what passes for "justice" is truly just.

I see crime paying

I see the biggest, most destructive criminals of all getting away with it, while those who try to do good suffer and pay, often with their lives.

I wish I could still believe in justice.

2. Government sponsored
I agree with what you are saying. It is amazing that the government sponsers all those public service type commercials on television under the guise of some organization. It's those types of media abuses that really make an impact in the countries social atomosphere. Not to even mention fox news. Thats a another whole issue in itself.

3. yes..sad indeed!
and they all slide by noticed and then quickly forgotten...like flickering scenes from a train window on your way from one day to the next. still there once there are past by..and remembered once in a while by someone trying to think back and number them all...but, then we are on to a new day ride..and so many more to see...and notice and forget.
a few days ago, there was a thread about why people dont rise up..and i thought how true the explanation was...that freedoms and the loss of freedoms do not get noticed because..each new day, the mom and dad get up, get their kids off to school..go to their jobs if they have them, look for jobs if they dont..attend pta meetings, go shopping for food and school clothes, clean the house, cut the lawn..pay the mortgage and pay the bills each month...and that this..all of this takes up all of their lives..and then maybe there is enough time to catch the evening news...but mom and dad are half asleep by then anyway...even if the news did reflect the truths that they are too tired to contemplate anyway...so another day goes by..and in this way..millions of people are just getting on...and do not notice the lies told by their govt.

6. related article about this military psyop
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12049

A NEWSPAPER has noticed that several US media have published identical letters from soldiers based in Iraq but which are signed by different people.

And many of the letters have already been published in US newspapers.

The latest case of so-called "astroturf" is reminiscent of a story we broke in January - Google hunts down "President Bush is demonstrating genuine leadership".

It transpired then that the Republican Party was behind the "astroturf".

According to The Olympian, it received two identical letters from different soldiers in the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, but on doing a news search discovered identical letters in 11 different newspapers.
