If you hear the indefensible defended enough times, confidently, by people with titles and credentials, it starts to sound like a good idea.
If you could just see what passes for “news” here in the USA, in both electronic and print media, you would understand American ignorance better.

As Lord Acton famously put it, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. What lessons can New Yorkers draw from the Rupert Murdoch phone-hacking scandal in England? What lessons can we draw about the NYPD? by Leonard Levitt – Veteran police reporter and author

The US has become such a ridiculous collection of fools that no real crisis can be recognized. Instead, the country is mesmerized by a fake crisis. With the world concerned about US financial credibility and the poor outlook for the US economy, now is not the time for the Republicans to grandstand on the public debt.

Should Americans Focus More on our Enemies at Home

So we are possibly contemplating entering into another war to counter the Iranian “threat,” which this time, per Israel, is directed against the entire civilized world. It is being presumed that President Obama would find it difficult not to do so, in support of “friend and close ally” Israel — by Philip Giraldi / Antiwar.com

The origins of this hasbara will be dealt with in a moment. The first question is, why would the American government, which is dominated and controlled by Zionists of every known type, from WINEP to AIPAC, ZOA to AJC, Brookings to CFR, release information about an Israeli company doing business with Iran?

It appears that the American Dream and the Great American Economy were both built on one gigantic and unstable fault line. And the core is trembling!
