> Notwithstanding the demagogic terms loaded in flowery rhetoric, promoted

>
> The paid Imperialist propagandists - VOA, CNN, BBC, MSNBC, FOX News
> together with all the American newspapers and magazines, whose lies are
> regurgitated by their ideological agents on these lists, present the US
> Gestapo operations in Iraq as in the interests of the Iraqis they are
> killing, whose towns and cities they are destroying! Flowery rhetoric is a
> form of subliminal suggestions predicated upon ideological conditioning of
> American workers, whereby American workers respond to such terms as
> 'freedom', 'democracy', 'fighting terrorism', 'stability' and 'rule of
> law', 'human principle' and so on without even critically looking at these

> American sociological conditioning has made American workers the most
> gullible workers in the world. They are conditioned to respond to terms.
> They are manipulated by US war propagandists calling the mass murders and
> destroyers of Iraqi cities the 'good guys' who by murder, destruction and
> plunder are bringing to Iraq 'democracy', 'human principle', 'progress',
> 'freedom', and 'stabilizing the rule of law', and conversely referring to
> the Iraqi resistance are denounced by such terms as 'insurgents',
> 'terrorists', and so on as 'the bad guys'.

> Yet, thanks to modern technology and photographic documentation we know

> Nazi Gestapo murdered Jews and razed the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw, Poland.
> The photographs and videos from unbedded/unbiased sources show the truth!
> Click link to see for yourselves the ugly realities of the war that US

> One Americans are deprogrammed, and hard realities engender individual and

> to be circulated throughout the American working class. Once workers
> understand what's going on, not just in Iraq, or other war zones, but in
> themselves, critical thinking ascertains the truth that will set them free
> of childhood patriotic conditionings, and immunization from the disease of
> demagogic plague, 'the emotional plague' and no longer be manipulated by
> flowery rhetoric and patriotic sloganeering.
