Obama’s ’state secrets’ echo Bush

The Washington Times
March 3, 2009
Last year, Britain’s Foreign Office angered the British High Court by ordering it to censor seven paragraphs from a previous ruling in the case of a British legal resident, Binyam Mohamed, who had been “rendered” and tortured by the CIA in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Morocco and Guantanamo.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Last August, John Bellinger, then chief legal adviser to the State Department, wrote the Foreign Office: “We want to affirm in the clearest terms that the public disclosure of these documents or of the information contained therein is likely to result in serious damage to U.S. national security, and could harm existing intelligence-sharing arrangements between our two governments.”
On Feb. 4, the British High Court wanted to finally disclose those seven paragraphs summarizing actual U.S. reports on Mr. Mohamed’s treatment, paragraphs originally provided to the Foreign Office. The judges expected that “the situation had changed significantly following the election of President Barack Obama, who was avowedly determined to eschew torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” (That court is also interested in British involvement with Mr. Mohamed’s interrogations.)

Here’s where we are, folks.
Concept
In the Bizarro world of “Htrae” (”Earth” spelled backwards), society is ruled by the Bizarro Code which states “Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!”. In one episode, for example, a salesman is doing a brisk trade selling Bizarro bonds: “Guaranteed to lose money for you”. Later, the mayor appoints Bizarro No. 1 to investigate a crime, “Because you are stupider than the entire Bizarro police force put together”. This is intended and taken as a great compliment.

People are naïve and gullible, Alex Jones is not a leader and will not lead you or anyone into any war or conflict. His job is simple: His “shock-Jock” approach is designed to do 1 thing, hold the listening audience “attentive and captive “long enough to sell you all the crap on his website. Really people wake up; this is exactly what all media talking heads do for a living. Don’t expect Alex Jones to be a Brave Heart on the front lines. You will find yourself in deep shit and alone. He has no followers; you are listeners, because he’s not leading you anywhere and has no upfront solution to offer.
He’s not gathering people to solve the problem; he creates an atmosphere of doubt and fear to sell you his products. You are a captive listening audience held together by fear that creates a Need to purchase unneeded crap. At this point anyone who doesn’t see that is just plain gullible. Problem, Reaction, Solution… All we have to do is : STOP PAYING TAX. It all Shuts down.. grow some balls

This comment is actually what the CIA do in other countries. They cause mayhem by creating internal arguments between the readers. Its a known fact that governments have set up internet bloggers, to discredit people who report on the NWO agenda. Take heed, if it bothers these people “Why remain on this site?”
