Media Lies About Libya and Gaddafi- Removed from YouTube


The leaders of US, Britain and France are putting on a united front in the Libya campaign in a joint newspaper piece. Just days ago French and British officials were publicly arguing for more NATO missile strikes. There was talk of a rift between the major coalition allies. Now US President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicholas Sarkozy have released a joint-opinion piece saying NATO remains united and will continue until Muammar Gaddafi steps down.

Arab Riots Raise New False Hopes for US Dupes

The Revolution of Hope Is Changing the Way Americans Look at Islam
James Carroll, TomDispatch: "Since 2001, Americans have been living with a nightmare Arab, a Muslim monster threatening us to the core, chilling our souls with the cry, 'God is great!' Yet after two months of world-historic protest and rebellion in streets and squares across the Arab world, we are finally waking up to another reality: that this was our bad dream, significantly a creation of our own fevered imaginations. For years, vestigial colonial contempt for Arabs combined with rank prejudice against the Islamic religion, exacerbated by an obsession with oil, proved a blinding combination. Then 9/11 pulled its shroud across the sun. But like the night yielding to dawn, all of this now appears in a new light. Americans are seeing Arabs and Muslims as if for the first time, and we are, despite ourselves, impressed and moved. In this regard, too, the Arab revolution has been, well, revolutionary."

Massive Distortion of Massive Rally in New York City



Massive Distortion of Massive Rally in New York City

New York, NY September 16, 2010 – by El Marco – UPDATES ongoing today with more photos and details!

This year’s 9/11 anniversary in New York brought opponents and supporters of the controversial “ground zero mosque” to lower Manhattan by the thousands. That fact has spawned a new controversy, as the American people yet again were served a false narrative by the dominant liberal establishment mass media. Exhibit A, in the “media reality distortion case #2478697,” is the photo scene below. This photo shows the 9/11 Remberance/Stop the Ground Zero Mosque Rally hosted by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. According to the New York Times, what is seen here is a crowd of 2,000 persons. According to the New York Daily News, the crowd below contained “hundreds” despite the fact that it stretched jam packed as seen below for three city blocks. Local NYC News Channel 10 reported live that there were 30,000 people at this rally. Channel 10 should be applauded for doing their job and the rest of the media stands exposed. But wait! The distortion goes much deeper than just downplaying by a factor of 10 or 20 the size of the Stop the Ground Zero Mosque Rally.
