STICK TO A GOOD LIE

By Peter Fredson

December 10, 2005

Condi Rice, Bush’s attack dog, the Black Angel of Death, has been high-stepping around Europe lately with the fancy shoes that she bought as Katrina killed many people. I’m surprised she doesn’t wear hip-height rubber boots to wade knee-deep in all the crap she is spreading on European leaders. But she finds time to lecture Syria and Iran and constantly threaten them because that was the neocons plan years ago. She also, following her Master, finds time to redefine words like Freedom, Liberty, Democracy, Sovereignty, Torture, Abuse.

Both Condi and Emperor George have learned much in their attacks on the truth. Whether or not they learned something from Adolph Hitler as a result of reading some history or whether Karl Rove enlightened them is not in question. There is no doubt that Hitler’s Big Lie technique is followed to the letter by both Condi and George. Hitler’s wise advice to would-be dictators was to find a good lie and stick to it, repeat it daily and deny anything that contradicts it. Both Condi and George are focused on target, and when one invents a good slogan or phrase, the other repeats it. This also applies to their entire cabinet and most of the Republican Senators.

It is however a mystery that Europeans, who have listened to skilled liars for centuries, still cannot seem to recognize when they are being lied to. They profess to be satisfied with the simplest denial, or assertion of accidental and innocent transgressions, and close the case. A headline today tells the story: RICE DENIES TORTURE AND ABUSE. That seemed to be enough to vindicate the entire Bush administration.

Why would canny Germans, who had a list of some many violations of airspace by surreptitious flights of CIA planes, bearing illicit kidnap victims to be tortured in old Gulags, seem well satisfied with Condi’s ingenious denials that such flights never occurred, or that kidnapping never has occurred, or her constant waffling regarding even the existence of secret jails? Why would other sophisticated European leaders decide to accept without further investigation all denials of diplomatic atrocities? Why is the dirt being swept under the diplomatic rug which the Bush crew has dirtied since he took office?

Perhaps it is because both Condi and George have practiced a hypnotic stare, straight into the TV cameras, and without blinking tell the most egregious lies, over and over. They may convince a fundamentalist, who has been stupefied by generations of professional liars to accept any explanation from their leaders, but is everyone in the world gullible, or is the stupidity quotient of populations growing daily?

Condi and George and Dick and Karl have indeed learned that slander can avert wrath, that deceit usually works, that few people bother to check up on misinformation, or that people are inclined to follow authorities in high office thinking them incapable of deliberate distortions of truth. After all, our democracy used to believe in moral and ethical behavior and that deliberate deception and mendacity are legitimate tools of governance. Once torture and abuse were considered unacceptable, and indefinite detentions without warrant would have been attacked by our judges, the US Supreme Court would have been horrified, but now only the British Supreme Court has come out strongly against any torture and abuse. Our own Supreme Court is remarkably reticent to tackle the problems of indefinite detentions, kidnapping, lack of warrant, violations of civil rights, and similar illegalities.

Litmus tests for Judges are strongly denied by leaders but somehow if they are not the RIGHT kind of Christians and Republicans they are immediately rejected.

Even secretaries of religious tendencies nominated to the US Supreme Court, if they have been judged not to be religious ENOUGH, are ruthlessly rejected by the very people who campaigned hard against activist judges. People, who vociferously requested that judges not make laws, seem to delight when religious judges have no difficulty in making such laws. People who most strongly state that they love democracy seem to be the most determined to destroy the separation of church and state in favor of a semi-fascist theocracy so they can impose whatever religion and Phalange politics they favor on the entire world.

Now George and his Republican sycophants have stated that they had a strategy for getting out of Iraq. The entire world knows they had no entrance strategy other than Shock and Awe by maximum violence, and that George and crew had no clue, or desire, to leave Iraq.

But the Hitlerian Big Lie prevails in the present administration. The Bush explanation, which varies from day to day, about reasons to invade a sovereign country that was NOT connected to 9/11, that Saddam had “intentions”, satisfies most Bush followers. They prefer fantasy to fact, much like George has a firm grasp on fantasy.

Bush declarations that he could determine the destiny of Iraq, by constant repetition of “God told me to invade,” or “Saddam was evil incarnate,” could then, by using the same vicious evil tactics, kill thousands of Innocent Iraqis in order to seize one person and have his eager Christians think a new crusade was necessary to eradicate false beliefs and false gods and false books to substitute their own. It may have been wrong for Saddam to kill, but it wasn’t important enough for Bush to even count the number of Iraqi dead that he was personally responsible for causing. Here denials were very useful.

Bush uses patriotism and his “brave boys” to distract people from the absolute fact that we are now going to count 3,000 dead American soldiers, and 14,000, 15,000 and more maimed and crippled soldiers, but he declare constantly it “is worth it.” The fact that he went AWOL and did not wish to shed his own blood, should not distract from his patriotic desire to send American troops to immediately seize the oil wells, give the oil to Millennium, burn up tons of ammunition, seize bases and palaces, send in thousands of armed mercenaries, contractors and proselytizers, appoint by fiat his own nation of Quislings, and make 100 binding resolutions absolving himself from any wrong-doing.

Not even an apology for invading by deceit and outright lies was ever forthcoming because an egomaniacal sociopath cannot dim his legacy with bare truth.

So it is not surprising that even sophisticated Europeans seem to have accepted litanies of ingenious lies and denials, when our own Republican Senators, except for McCain on torture, fully accepted any explanation or denial of wrong-doing without any investigation but by applauding and glorifying a petulant, irascible, irresponsible, and lazy person. Not a Napoleon, but he’s OUR scoundrel. Case closed.

As far as the missing billion dollars is concerned, that lack of reconstruction, the constant destruction and death, well, that’s a deep mystery, much like the fake news, the captive audiences, the deep secrets, the ultra-security, which are well-covered by Christmas carols, flashing Christmas trees, and fancy cards wishing everybody a Merry Christmas which the poor, disadvantaged, uninsured, sick, homeless, and indefinitely detained people probably echo.

  • Liars who are in denial are able to get away with their lies only when their audiences are also in denial. When we stop lying to ourselves, we won’t believe the lies of others and we won’t run from the truth.

    • Europeans have not accepted the Bushistas’ lies. The only ones who have are the MEDIA which would like to persuade everyone, including Europeans, that the Europeans are satisfied with what they have been force-fed.

      The media, of course, live in a fantasy world of their own making and have nothing to do with reality.

      In fact, no one believes these lies except (maybe) the liars themselves. Maybe.

  • The Bush accomplices are carrying the same guilt! Germany, Britain and France should have by any chance stopped these flights!
    As a German I feel dirty now and I would like to apologize to the muslim communty.

  • I’ve decided to upload my Chapters to the New Criminologist website at
    http://www.newcriminologist.co.uk

    Please be sure to read Michelle Looney’s life experience. Michelle’s story has links to my story that surface a major drug system covering many states across the US. Currently, my story is more than 20 Chapters and represents less than 20% of the entire story. I’m sure those interested in reading will see links to current situations now in the news.

  • The europeans have no desire to confront the US, they see this as a problem for american citizens to fix and not do what US administration is doing and meddle in the internal affairs of another country. To call Condi a liar would mean to confront US over this, which would most likely band all americans behind the president against them and they know this. As bad as it is for the whole world, this is for the american people to stop and fix, don’t hope that someone will save you, no one’s coming.

    • Hey guy, I’m still alive and well, but coughing horribly.. there’s something in the air here making folks sick. And nobody trusts American DOCTORS anymore.........Just wanted you to know, amidst the CIA (Cocaine Import Agency, or Catholic Intelligence Agency?)... [Let’s have a lottery and spend more young, male, American: lives in foreign wars: like Viet Nam... how about let’s choose who goes on the FRONT LINES.. via BIRTHDATE???? - LOTTERY STYLE.] The "LEADERS" of this country apparently love to gamble, even with the lives of it’s children. Write to me at "theloonusa@yahoo.com"....... Sincerely, Fielda Michelle Looney
      PS: It’s HONORABLE to serve your country. That’s what the Southerners thought when the rich boys needed to keep and maintain their power and holdings. So much for believing LIARS in POWER. More POWER to YALE AND HARVARD: apparently they created this MESS.

    • Hey Didler, are you still alive? In the midst of Porter Goss’s Resignation (CIA, COCAINE IMPORT AGENCY - Watergate Poker Babe, prostition ring whore-boys/ Barry Seal Import Agency, via Colombia) I’m wondering if you got "knocked off" for knowing too much????????? I’m still here in "RACE HORSE, THOROUGHBRED".....Kentucky, where the POOR have been used to run Mena cocaine for several decades. You were right, it’s a huge multi-national-global drug cartel, but how can you unlock those foreign bank accounts to find out which politicians and corporate CEO’s have drug money squirreled away anonymously? Heck, I’d like to get out from under the railroads, but since reading about Darlene Fitzgerald’s "Badge of Dishonor," and shipped cocaine in railroad tanker cars in San Diego, I guess I’m wondering what else the railroads have been shipping and for HOW LONG?????? The problem here is if you go against the "BIG BOYS" and their concealed drug booties, the cops will harrass you to death. Write to me at LoonUSA1@setel.com. (just once.)

    • Hey DIDLER: YOU STILL ALIVE? They’re laundering the money from Kentucky: in: INDIANNAPOLIS. Isn’t that funny? Senator Richard Lugar is a very distant cousin, Senator, Indiana: and never acknowledged I was even alive, after writing to him several times, I couldn’t get past his "AID."

      DIDLER are you still alive in the midst of the ILLEGAL DRUG/ PHARMACEUTICAL POISONING of AMERICAN CHILDREN?????????????

      DIDLER be careful...... if you’re still alive their COPS will be stalking you and they’ll find a way to put you in prison or... in the "CRAZY HOUSE"... (to discredit anything you may say.) They killed William Cooper.. Go to his site. www.williamcooper.com

      DIDLER I hope you’re still alive, I’ve been gang-stalked and suffered the gaslight network: for TEN YEARS. I Should have NEVER MARRIED into the NAZI RAILROAD. Freaking Chicago-MOB connected, MOTOROLA/Commies.

      (They Killed My DAD - Garmen Looney, SR: 1962. It’s why they’re after me.)

      I hope they kill me - just like they killed my Father, Lt. Commander, Garmen Montell Looney, Sr. USN: my USN UNCLES, and my SON: Gerard Joseph Sniffen, III. Dad was "heart attack".. the NAVY apparently turned their heads. My SON was "shotgun" - suicide with two shells discharged in MAFIA COUNTRY: Baldwin County, Alabama. (LONG LIVE THE POPE!!)

      I’ll haunt them, their children and grandchildren from my grave - FOREVER. Hope I die soon!!!!!!

      Their "STUDENT DEFERRED" little-rich-boy...... children and grandchildren will wish they had never been born.

      That’s a PROMISE.

    • DIDLER watch out for anybody who says they’re "US ARMY" and at one/or any time stationed in GERMANY. Theyr’e networking (gang-stalking) and there’s nothing GOOD about any of them. - Michelle

    • Well it’s still going on. Tommy, my Florida friend is dead. He knew too much about the cocaine dealers in this country, and lots of other stuff. He was a MUSICIAN.. for some reason MUSICIANS are on the HIT LIST..... Didler I hope you’re still alive. Folks are dropping like flies here in the United States, you know. Heck, they’re killing my entire family, and have been since 1962. Whenever you think they’re "cleaning house" then someone else gets power in the Washington DC area that’s got a corrupt record. I guess we just have to find a way to get the people to vote out the career politicians who have made so many "friends" and so much money they can purchase any form of justice to insure further corruption - and COVER-UP........ GEESH: WHATTAMESS!!!!!!!
      (PS. WE NEED TO GET JIM MORRISON’S BODY BACK FROM FRANCE and BURY IT HERE:> HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED WITH THOSE FRENCH ELITES... HE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.)

    • FRANCE: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      We’re behind the IRON CURTAIN here in the USA......

      The "JUSTICE" laws in our courts have been written by the ones who are making the money. They are murdering my family...

      http://a-loon.blogspot.com/

      I hope you win your suit. I have joined your cause. Some of my ancestors are French, also....but without the money to purchase royalty or the courts.

      My Best Wishes to you and all who support you.....

    • Dear Sir,

      Thanks for the plug! I have written a new book that updates our chronicle since "Badge of Dishonor." The name of the book is entitled "BorderGate." Below is a recent letter that was just sent to congress and posted. Since the posting of this letter, the House has passed Senate Bill #S995 - the Whistleblower Protection Act. However, President Bush has publically vowed to veto the bill. We (numerous whistleblowers, GAP, POGO and The Patrick Henry Center) have worked for seven (7) long years getting this much needed legislation passed. The below letter explains much. Please, anything that you or anyone else can do to change Bushe’s mind, will be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks so much for the plug!

      Darlene Fitzgerald
      Nationa Security Whistleblower - www.BorderGate.net
      Author: "BorderGate, the story the government doesn’t want you to read."

      Dear Congress:

      Although I am glad to see you rushing in to protect our wrongly fired U.S. Attorneys, I must ask you - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? The very same political network, “good old boy clique,” that fired these attorneys, has been around for years attacking other federal government employees who dare to speak out against wrongdoing. Yet you, dear Congress, have done nothing to protect these brave souls who dare become National Security Whistleblowers.

      Currently there is no real whistleblower protection for government employees on the front line of our national security (Border Patrol Agents, Customs Agents, Transportation Security Agents, etc.). Many of these government employees have endured wrongful firings, harassment, threats, and other retaliation on an enormous scale for simply doing the right thing. They have witnessed extreme instances of waste, fraud, abuse and corruption that they are required by law to report. For many of them, what they have witnessed are criminal acts by their mid-level and sometimes very high-level managers. If they don’t report these abuses, they the employees may be criminally charged with a felony (Misprision of Felony). Yet when they do the right thing, the whistleblowers are most certain to be severely retaliated against by the people benefiting from the wrongdoing.

      Moreover, this has been documented and presented to Congress repeatedly by numerous organizations like The Government Accountability Project (GAP), the Project On Government Oversite (POGO), and the Patrick Henry Center. All three of these organizations list scores of National Security Whistleblowers that have testified repeatedly before Congress in different forums (e.g. the 911 Commission; the Blue Ribbon Commission; Whistleblower Counsel). Yet the Whistleblower Protection Act that was authored and sponsored by Senators Akaka and Grassley, and has passed the Senate, sits idle for months now on the House floor.

      As you rush to protect these more powerful federal government employees (U.S Attorneys) who are often hand picked by their home state Senators, remember, there are others who have suffered much more because they have risks much more via the national security issues that they have reported. I doubt that these U.S. Attorneys will have to file bankruptcy because they are being “blackballed” by corrupt government officials, in the same way that National Security Whistleblowers do. I doubt that these U.S. Attorneys will fear the threats and intimidation to themselves and their families; repeated frivolous internal affairs investigations; the passing over of earned promotions, and numerous other tools that government managers have at their disposal to discredit whistleblowers and SHUT THEM UP.

      Yet you, Congress, point the “Political Finger” at the folks who have fired these U.S. Attorneys, while you sit and allow much worse behavior to continue for others. Maybe someone should wave that same “Political Finger” back at themselves. Why is it that the U.S. Attorneys have been given preferential treatment over other government employees who, quite frankly, have put their necks much more on the line for this country than the U.S. Attorneys?

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that the firing of these attorneys is political, morally wrong, and perhaps illegal - BUT SO WHAT! Why are you rushing to their aid over the dead bodies of National Security Whistleblowers who were also government employees - and I do mean literally dead bodies. Numerous whistleblowers have had their lives so destroyed by doing the right thing, that they have died of heart problems due to stress, and/or have committed suicide. The whistleblower cases that I have witnessed, including my own, are much more egregious and appalling than what has happened to the U.S. Attorneys. One may conclude that the answer to this question is that U.S. Attorneys are simply more powerful in their positions, and can be of more assistance to Congress in said positions - hence fostering the notion that this sudden interest for Congress to protect them is merely POLITICAL! Therefore, while you waive the “Political Finger” at this administration for firing these attorneys, please take a close look in the mirror at the other end of that very same finger - which is pointing straight back at you! I would encourage you to provide protection to ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, not just the influential ones.

      Sincerely,

      Darlene Fitzgerald
