NY Times and White Phosphorous in Falluja-Paper of Record Propaganda

Where is the NY Times reportage on this story which is gaining headlines across the globe?

Nowhere.

The most effective method of propaganda is silence. And the roaring silence from the NY TImes and other criminally complicit MSM news outlets such as the (Brain)Wash Post is deafening.

Become the media and write letters and hand out leaflets to expose this outrage, which has been known about and written about for months now in other media outlets and forums.

The censorship in the US media is tighter than ever. Take a stand!

The documentary alleges the United States used white phosphorous shells 'in a massive and indiscriminate way' against civilians during the November 2004 offensive in Fallujah. The report said the shells were not used to illuminate enemy fighters at night, as the U.S. government has said, but against civilians.(AP Photo/RaiNews24,ho)

US Army Admits Use of White Phosphorus as Weapon

(From the diaries. Let's see them deny this shit now -- kos)

That's right. Not from Al Jazheera, or Al Arabiya, but the US fucking Army, in their very own publication, from the (WARNING: pdf file) March edition of Field Artillery Magazine in an article entitled "The Fight for Fallujah":

"WP proved to be an effective and versatile munition. We used it for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight, as a potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in trench lines and spider holes when we could not get effects on them with HE. We fired 'shake and bake' missions at the insurgents, using WP to flush them out and HE to take them out."

"Gun up!" Millikin yelled when they finished a few seconds later, grabbing a white phosphorus round from a nearby ammo can and holding it over the tube.

"Fire!" Bogert yelled, as Millikin dropped it.

The boom kicked dust around the pit as they ran through the drill again and again, sending a mixture of burning white phosphorus and high explosives they call "shake 'n' bake" into a cluster of buildings where insurgents have been spotted all week.
