The Downing Street Memo Reveals Blood on the Hands of Our Complicit Corporate Media and the Hijacking of Our Collective Fear


By Anthony Wade, June 10, 2005, www.OpEdNews.com

On September the Eleventh, 2001, our worst fears were realized. I will never forget that day and traveling home by subway in New York City. Looking into the shell-shocked faces of people I never met, would never see again, realizing how truly close we all were. We were bound together by the experience. A collective outrage, a collective understanding that we were in this together. Unfortunately, some took this opportunity to capitalize on our collective fear.

Terrorism became the tool, the weapon wielded so effectively by this administration for five years now. They color-coded our fear, using the terror chart to influence elections, and to distract from potentially damaging news. They warned us over and over again that it could happen again. They made us go buy duct tape and brought us new terms like

Anthony,why is it that no reporter dares to question the media--why reporting the news of the middle-east is twisted or non-existant.But when Israel has a problem with those pestie arabs or reminders of the hollocaust-it is aleays in your face-right up front.
Correction--the media is not in Bush's pocket---Bush is the one that is in all the Media's owners deep pockets.Is it very hard for reporters to go after the big zionist boys in the media and expose the bastards as Israelies and not American? Why has no-one gone after Murdoc?Some poster stated-that C-span would be the the proper route----Murdoc owns it now -fools!
We all know that the war on Iraq was for Israel and that is why the media has kept quit and pushed for the war.Even if the 9/11 WTC downing was proven to be orchastrated by Bush and Co.,the media will not report it.
So many facts connecting Israel to WTC have been exposed and nothing happens.This memo is a dead issue,cause most of the politicians are agents for Israel.

Nothing is a dead issue that the people do not allow to be. Giving up is not an option. Conyers is having hearings, maybe something will come of them. As i stated in my last article, if we do not have serious media and election reform, nothing else will matter.

Ask yourself how a man who could not generate a 50% approval rating, wins a national election with 9 million more votes than his previous election.

As for Downing, it is a crucial story, as i think the Gannon situation was. Everyone abandoned that, hopefully this will have more staying power.

Take care.
