Corporate Media Corruption

"When I was a young police officer out in West Texas, my chief used to tell me to 'shoot first, and ask questions afterwards.' But you know what- I didn't get many answers that way!"

Why ask questions after the Libya campaign? Shouldn't that have come first? Gaddafi was always willing to negotiate about "human rights" concerns that Western interests supposedly had, so why not do that before killing thousands of people, destroying millions of $ worth of Libyan real estate, and spending your own billions of $ on a war, when your citizens are jobless at home?

The corporate media, mainstream media source for us is Google News, though I am certain that all the others are equally as bad. My soul is vexed for their lies and duplicity, but when our nation's very own leader is a pathological LIAR, what can you expect? The corporate media is not "free press", but is controlled by the same offshore bankers that control the politics in Washington.

Google News spent months promoting the war in Libya, badmouthing Gaddafi, trying to sway public sentiments so that we would not question the illegal, imperialist actions of the U.S. and NATO. By and large, their news stories continue to favor that same position. But now we are beginning to see them publish more openly the dissenting viewpoints on the war. Why do it now, when it is essentially over, and the damage done? Because by doing it now, they have fulfilled their obligation to the global elite in promoting the war, and can now throw in the opposing views to make it appear that they are "unbiased."

2 days ago I watched a video from Google News, which was an interview with an Italian reporter who had been in Libya to actually see what the truth was. Her report was almost exactly what Webster Griffin Tarpley had related from his 2 week period in Libya, at least 2 months previously. This article was located on the right-hand side of the page, kind of a "secondary" article.
Today there was a main article (center column) entitled, "North Africa: Libya- the Criminal Face of Imperialism." This was from http://www.allafrica.com/ in case you have interest in the news source itself.

Now we are facing the same set-up with Syria. Articles are unfavorable to President Assad and his gov't, and that is what is being promoted. Yet the objectives are the same, and NATO is carrying out imperialist objectives by covert actions. Do not be fooled!!! Contact your representatives and tell them, "Enough war, already!"

In other related articles;
-Residents flee central Syrian town amid heavy gunfire
-European Union accuses Iran of supporting rights suppression in Syria
-Is Syria slipping out of the grasp of its rulers?
-Syrian Activists: 7 killed on Muslim Holiday

The reality is that Assad is firmly in control, and that he is broadly supported by his people. He has already initiated many positive changes to Syria's political system, though some will take time to implement. The Syrian situation is yet another flashpoint that could readily ignite World War III into the type of devastation that we have been concerned about.
