This is a follow up to yesterday’s blog entry.

* Australia’s beloved Prime Minister John Howard who has stated that if the Democrats take back the entire Congress and the White House that the terrorists will win, which is something we in America need to hear from our own.. The Liberal Party member, which is the country’s conservative party as opposed to the left leaning Labor Party, joined America as a member of the Allied Forces in the Iraq War. Currently Australia is more American than America! In 2004 Howard led a Liberal Party victory and in a historical move began his third term as Prime Minister. He opposes gay marriage and supports capitalism and has no problem speaking his mind.

* Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany and member of the conservative Christian Democratic Union Party. Mrs. Merkel is pro free economy, pro deregulation and pro business owner’s rights. She shares a similar vision with that of President Bush and others that will be listed. In 2005 she produced a crushing defeat against anti-Bush chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. She is often compared to the UK’s former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

* The UK’s Tony Blair, who will be retiring soon following a decade long tenure, was praised in the media machine during the Clinton Administration yet is now more likely to be referred to as a Bush lapdog. He has steadfastly maintained his allegiance with Bush. His likely replacement will be Gordon Brown, who has vowed to maintain good relations with the US and President Bush.

 * Japan’s previous prime minister Junricho Koizumi (2001-06) and the current Shinzo Abe are pro Bush, pro American, pro free economy, pro deregulation and proactive against radical Islamic terrorists. Time and time again the New York Times predicted defeat for Koizumi and his Liberal Democrat Party, yet they were proven wrong every time.

* President Alvaro Uribe Velez of Colombia has been pro Bush, pro America and pro free markets since his ascension in 2002. He took on the guerilla groups that are funded by drug cartels and watched as crime statistics dropped to historical lows. Currently several pro Uribe lawmakers are embroiled in a domestic scandal. Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat from Vermont, is threatening to hold up $52 million in foreign aide that would be directed towards Colombia’s army. If Leahy and others manage to stop the funding, America will lose their only ally in South America.

Your author has devoted more than one blog entry to France and their state of affairs. In the past your author has criticized the legacy of former French President Jacques Chirac as ineffective and weak. Time and time again Chirac attempted to sink teeth into one issue after another but allowed popular thinking and protesting constituents to dictate the final outcome. This is so reminiscent of the Clinton era in the United States and that of many other nationally elected officials who become preoccupied with opinion polls and forego sound reasoning.

Following the aftermath of the Don Imus fallout and subsequent call for Reverend Al Sharpton to take an active role in cleaning up the lyrics in hip hop music; no doubt an embarrassment for Sharpton due to his lack of previous actions; the politically correct American Left in their quest for justice have deemed yet another word illegal from the American vernacular. The word is ‘wetback’, slang for Mexican and derived from swimming across the Rio Grande River would cause them to be wet. So bad is this word it now is being substituted for the phrase ‘the w-word’. This is laughable when the reader really thinks about it. Whether it is the ‘n-word’ or ‘w-word’ the implication still makes the reader think of the word and at least mentally say it to themselves. How much longer will it be until these phrases are also outlawed? Once the political correctness police, enforcers of anything but the truth and facts, take an inch the reader may as well give them a mile.

Today your author came across a news item that only proves his theory on former Vice President and failed 2000 Democrat Party Presidential nominee Albert Gore’s attempt to influence public opinion. As we all know Gore produced his version of the environmental theory known as global warming in the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The movie’s theme was as much to do about instilling fear as it was about documenting facts.

During the past 100 years the Earth’s temperature has increased but only by 1 degree Celsius. Science also agrees that an ice age existed some 2.7-2.3 billion years ago but much of the surface melted. Now compounding 1 degree Celsius over several billion years the reader can deduct that yes the Earth is warming but very little we can do will alter such a climatic trend. In fact this collective responsibility enforced by Gore and his ilk reeks of typical self professed liberal theory. This meaning that somehow you and your neighbor are responsible or can change the course of nature by your actions and if you disagree then you are without care, void of conscience and callous.

It isn’t that your author doesn’t support environmental laws. No quite the opposite. However the American Left has been gravitating towards environmental causes in hopes of ramming their moral code down the reader’s throat for over 20 years. Al Gore just so happens to be their current poster boy. It hasn’t been for his own altruism. Mr. Gore’s film garnered plenty of awards, including an Academy Award for best documentary and grossed over $46 million worldwide. Additionally Gore chairs Generation Investment Management, a London based hedge fund that seeks out and invests in companies that believe in many of Gore’s environmental theories such as global warming and stand to profit if favorable legislation is enacted. In other words Gore intends to profit from combating global warming.

Gore has face numerous critics, particularly those in the science field who are far more qualified than a former US Vice President on such issues and more recently UK television producer Martin Durkin’s The Great Warming Swindle. While Gore’s movie was heralded as a landmark, his supporters have dubbed Durkin’s work as ‘controversial’, which is an often misused word used by the American Left when faced with a rebuttal. The only thing controversial about Gore and global warming is his investment portfolio as it shows his true intentions.

Gore’s frenzy portrayal of doomsday if global warming is not addressed is just a long list of tactics used by the American Left who have embraced radical environmentalism. The first Earth Day in 1970 was led by US Senator Gaylord Nelson. One of the concerns expressed that day was prediction that America would run out of food. Also starting the 1970s US retail stores began to feel pressure to change from brown paper bags to ones made from plastic. The idea behind this change was due to the trees being used to produce paper. Just last month the city of San Francisco, a bastion of liberalism, banned plastic shopping bags because of a litany of environmental reasons all based around the ‘do this or we all perish’ mentality. In the 1980s American cities and towns embraced mandatory recycling with their blue trash boxes denoting glass, plastic and newspapers. Also in the 1980s CO2 and greenhouse gases were the environmental talk. We were told of the deadly air conditioners and hair spray canisters that emitted such deadly gases into the atmosphere. As a result these were cut back significantly. And now we are being told that all of this, a rolling ball of changing attitudes towards environmentalism, has not been enough. We are told, forced to hear, that we are collectively responsible for the earth’s temperature increasing by one degree Celsius!

And now former US Vice President and failed 2000 Democrat Party Presidential Nominee Al Gore is taking his medicine show on the road. According to the USA Today Gore is filtering ‘thousands’ of applications from individuals who either will profit from global warming legislation or have bought the words of doom and gloom. These Americans will be paid to go on the road and spread the good word of Al Gore. Following training at Gore’s Tennessee farm, the flock of faithful will go forth and speak at public schools, Rotary International and nursing homes across America. Your author had to chuckle when he saw public schools, Rotary meetings and nursing homes as planned stops for Gore’s legion of eco-warriors. Teachers and pupils will gladly welcome a break in class, the Rotary is always opened to any speaker and nursing home patients your author imagines regularly experience days of monotony so a visit from anyone would be appreciated.

Reader your author implores you to download the link provided in this entry and see the other side presenting their case on global warming. They stand not to profit by changing public opinion. Al Gore cannot say this about himself.

Your author gave his thoughts and predictions of what would come from the Virginia Tech shooting in an April 16^th entry. He was proven correct when the droves of lefty types such as Rosie O’Donnell and various media pundits utter gun control as the solution. They cannot accept that the occasional random act of violence, which every country can and has experienced, are perpetrated by a lone, sick individual and that somehow we the citizenry should give up a Constitutional Right in order to appease the Left.

To make matters worse the gunman, one deranged character named Cho Seung-hui, mailed a manifesto to NBC. The media giant contacted the local authorities, forwarding them copies of the material and then proceeded to air the video over and over again. Now police authorities and investigators could have possibly used the items to understand this lunatic’s mind. What NBC did with their actions was to rub salt on the wounds of grieving families. There was never a pause or consideration by the NBC brass. It was sensational news on the back of an atrocity. NBC, along with the other big media machine outlets, have once again lowered the bar on standards. Your author has commented on this before. More recent incidents involved the ‘baby daddy’ fiasco surrounding Ann Nicole Smith’s daughter and the ridiculous tirades following the Don Imus fiasco. Were these stories worthy of the time and energy the big media machine devoted to them?

The media has continued to hype and hype the Virginia Tech story. It isn’t that your author disagrees with covering the story but it is the manner in which these media outlets go about reporting it. It isn’t enough this was an awful tragedy but the media industry must politicize the moment and dwell on how this could have been prevented. There is no way Cho’s actions could have been stopped. What is now known is that Cho was obviously disturbed. However the media portrayal of his shooting is believed to have spurned what is referred to as copycats. While several have turned out to be threats there has been a murder suicide at Houston’s NASA center. Will the big media machine own up to these or at least take partial responsibility? These may not have occurred if Cho’s media manifesto had not been aired.

Well as the US’s big media machine spins the Cho shooting into infinitum waiting for the next story, there are events that aren’t being reported on. This week Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace stated that coalition forces engaged located in Afghanistan’s southern province Kandahar discovered a cache of mortars and plastic explosives en route to Taliban forces. The kicker was that these weapons were made in Iran.

Your author’s first question is where is the American Left? These are the same folks that criticized President Bush for entering in Iraq by reminding him that the ‘genuine’ terrorists were held up in Afghanistan. They also presented a belief that if only Osama bin Laden was captured that suddenly, as if some magic pixy dust was sprinkled down on earth, that radical Muslim terrorists would disappear! When we know that isn’t a realistic scenario.

The American Left, which is quickly becoming the base for the modern day Democrat Party while they operate in sync with groups such as moveon.org, should be calling for war with Iran. They (the American Left) have already stated that the US should focus on Afghanistan and go after ‘those’ terrorists. And if these terrorists are being supplied by Iran, ergo, shouldn’t the Coalition Forces go into Iran? Now imagine if such event did play out. Would this be easier to accomplish if Iraq, which borders Iran for those who are geographically illiterate, was still under the thumb of Saddam Hussein? The American Left would be best advised to review a map of the Mid East if they still aren’t understanding your author.

Now of course the American Left wouldn’t support such an engagement. No the reader should know that the American Left would like to the US throw up their curtains, shore up society with entitlement programs and call it a day. The only problem is that many from the moveon.org crowd are too ignorant to understand that if such ideology was in play that their personal lifestyle would be greatly altered.

The problem with Iran, their links with Taliban and other terrorist groups isn’t the American Left. Well they are part of the equation on why many cannot understand the magnitude of fighting the Muslim radicals. The other part of this Iran equation involves several countries who wish to play both sides of the fence.

Recall when Iran kidnaped 15 Royal Sailors and Royal Marines off the waters of Iraq. Now Iran claimed the British servicemen and women were infringing on Iran, as claimed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and comedian Rosie O’Donnell. As we found out later upon their release and the announcement of the GPS measurements, both Ahmadinejad and O’Donnell were wrong. While America and Australia condemned the antics displayed by Iran the European community was silent. Why is that? Why would the European Union, which Great Britain belongs to, say very little about the international incident? According to the European Union’s own report the coalition of countries is Iran’s biggest trading partner in both exports and imports.

So what can be done with Iran? Should we as a country, subscribing to the Left’s thinking, lie down and become compliant? The American Left has already managed to diminish the seriousness of Islamic seriousness. Your author dare asks how many more 9-11 style of attacks on US soil will have to happen to convince a portion of our population? Will the Eiffel Tower or London’s Big Ben have to fall to a terrorist attack in order to open the eyes of the EU? Will the American Left begin to see that the European Multi-Culturalism model has failed? That they themselves are living in a potential landmine with their numerous undocumented residences and the growing impact of Islam on European society.

What your author just shared with the reader are his thoughts of recent events unfolding on an international field. The reader would be advised not to look at the US media machine for such coverage of important events. That is unless they deem ‘baby daddy’ story worthy of their attention.

Today your author sat in shock as the media updated the customer with the violent shootings that took place at Virginia Tech. The final count is 33 dead, including the shooter and many more injured. Your author extends a sincere prayer for those who lost their lives and the grieving families.

Your author recalls the 1999 Columbine High School shootings that took place in Littleton, CO. The killing spree facilitated by teenage students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. In their violent wake 12 were left dead and twice that many were wounded with Harris and Klebold taking their own lives. The media machine is already comparing this to the violence at Virginia Tech.

Following the killing spree at Columbine, President Bill Clinton used the moment to pitch the idea of gun control bill to close a loophole that impacted gun sales conducted at gun shows (House Bill 1243). Klebold and Harris had obtained their firearms through a straw purchase performed by 18 year old Columbine student Robyn Harris. Just with every firearm they used, there were several, they too were purchased by someone of age for the two students. Then the big media machine focused their attention to high school bullying, spinning a story that Klebold and Harris were picked on and ostracized by other students. This was proven to be false. What is known about the two is that they shared a love for violent video games, both had been convicted of breaking into a motor vehicle, both shared an interest in Nazism, Adolph Hitler, Social Darwinism and genocide. When it came to musical taste they both enjoyed listening to house and industrial music. Journals kept by both of them described how they hoped to surpass the violence and death caused by the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Additionally neither of the boys’ parents have spoken publicly about the incident.

The American Left will use these events, as bad as they are, to cite the need for tougher gun laws. While your author agrees that background checks and responsible gun ownership is a must; how would tougher laws better serve society? What the media machine won’t say in blunt terms is that the shootings at Virginia Tech, the massacre at Columbine or any other spree killing are perpetrated by mentally and emotionally deranged individuals. If they could not have obtained a gun another means of destruction would have been used. However it is the arrogance of the Left that always believes they can dictate social behavior to a finite formula through taxpayer funded legislation and full compliance will create a nirvana. They are delusional.

The American Left will cite the following:

35,000 gun deaths in America

Source: Center for Disease Control

However what the Left won’t tell you in their anti-gun pitch is that 54% of these deaths are attributed to suicide. This eliminates 17,500 of these deaths. From the remaining amount roughly 1,000 are ruled unintentional and accidental. Remember the Left is spinning the data to suggest that eliminating or impeding access to guns would reduce crime and death. It is in your moral good they will say, dictating the reader’s own value system, that stiffer gun control laws are in your best interest. Now this leaves a net number of 16,500 gun deaths linked to crime. This is a far cry from what the American Left will quote.

Often times the American Left will use other countries in the Western Hemisphere as an appropriate role model for the States to follow. This in itself tells the reader who does not support tougher gun laws then you are some ignorant buffoon living in a country where the majority is just as foolish! One country cited by the Left is Canada where they have a Gun Registry. In short, beginning in the 1990s and under the tenure of Liberal Party Prime Minister Paul Martin, Canadian gun owners had to register their arms. A novel idea that in ten years became an example of government mismanagement and the failures of liberalism. Originally budgeted at a cost of $119 million, the figure is estimated to be north of $2 billion. Furthermore it was found that a trend suggested the following, that 86% of gun related homicides were with an unregistered gun and that 80% of the murderers were unlicensed gun owners. Both sides of the political aisle have agreed the Registry has not lowered violent crimes.

While the Left is probably salivating to drum up support for stiffer gun control laws, a detestable testament of their willingness to exploit the murders at Virginia Tech, their underlying message is not really to reduce violent crime. They may say this but what they ultimately would achieve is the removal of personal accountability. Another way to say it, you aren’t responsible enough to own a firearm because of the actions of a demented few. Should we allow these misfits and sick individuals to chip away at our Constitutional right?

Following the Don Imus fiasco, New York Senator and Democrat Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the words used by Imus regarding the Rutgers University Women’s Basketball Team. The humiliated wife of former President Bill Clinton said the following:

"Don Imus’ comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism. They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African-Americans and women everywhere."

This is all fine and good, every single Democrat candidate from Clinton, to Senators Barak Obama and Joe Biden have failed to address any issues of substance. Your author was surprised that each of these elected officials had not previously predicted the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith’s infant daughter Dannielynn. Why not? The only political pitches these contenders can proclaim is the same drumbeat from the 1960s that still saturates the once great Democrat Party, these being an increase in taxes, creating a greater social welfare state and whining about their Republican counterparts.

As our country rolls into 2007 and 2008 Senator Clinton will have plenty questions to answer as it relates to a recent campaign contribution scandal involving Peter Franklin Paul and his ties to Stan Lee Media. The case is anything but a cartoon. When the big media machine does pick up on this story the Clintons may need a cape crusader to bail them out.

However it is what is happening now that deserves closer attention to Senator Clinton. While she proclaims her disdain for Imus she should have been checking her closet. On March 31^st Clinton, in a last minute fundraiser, attended a cocktail party. The event was held by rapper ‘Timbaland’ (Timothy Mosley). Enough guests showed up to pay $2,000 to sip drinks and Clinton walked away with an estimated $800,000. Your author ponders how many of the poor and disenfranchised that Clinton claims to relate to could afford to attend?

Now as we all know rap or hip hop music lyrics contain the same words that resulted in Imus being booted from television and radio. If Timbaland is a rapper does his lyrics contain these words? Your author decided to find out.

Selected from the song ‘I Get It On’

I'm the top nigga, watch nigga, hot nigga, yo (Yo)
Shit that I dropped, nonstop nigga, whoa (Whoa)
Meet the futuristic unpredicted by the psych (Uh huh)
Either nigga's vibe or they make shit light (Whew)
Hip to the hop when I came in the do' (What?)
Missy went platinum then I came in some mo' (What?)
Aaliyah, then Ginuwine, Mag and two O's (Uh huh)
Outside production on Coko and Total
Fugitive wanna buy the man for real
Got warrrents beats and program to kill
Timbaland nigga, and I'm ill
Don't believe me? Take the back of your hand and feel

From the song ‘Sexbeat’

Ahh... it's time to slow it down for a bit
Like this
Oooh ahhhhhh
I call this here... take off your drawers

These are just two songs your author was able to muster the tolerance to find out. Senator Clinton you are clearly talking out of both sides of your mouth. It has been reported that the Timbaland led fundraiser was a desperate attempt for Clinton’s campaign treasury to surpass the coffers of rookie Senator Obama. A rookie? Yes and Clinton is unbelievably desperate to become the next US President.

Today the American Left and self professed liberals have once again proven to your author that like mother tarantulas they will eat their own. As everyone has heard that crotchety windbag who plays a disc jockey, Don Imus, made the following comment regarding the Rutgers University Girls Basketball team on his Imus In The Morning radio show.

Imus: That's some nappy-headed hos there, I'm going to tell you that now (laughing). Man, that's some ... whoo ...

Note: McGuirk is Bernard McGuirk, the radio show’s producer.

Since Imus uttered those words the big media machine has been thrown into overdrive. What your author finds hilarious is that the multi million dollar hip hop performers, the vast majority being black, use similar slang regularly with their songs and they are immune to the Left’s evil eye. The American Left has come out in droves in condemning Imus. What about Freedom of Speech? Well once again as long as the speech is coated in political correctness, which assists in hindering the truth, the American Left will protect it or if they agree with such then it is worthy of their seal of approval.

Two of the most well known tools of the American Left Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, described by the big media machine as civil rights leader, have drop the hammer on Imus. Today the radio show host apologized to infinitum on Sharpton’s Keeping It Real radio show. This was a big day for Sharpton because your author feels comfortable in assuring the reader that this interview and apology session probably garnered the most listeners in his radio career.

Unfortunately Imus’s on air lapse of judgement and the aftermath involving Jackson and Sharpton says more about the latter two than Imus himself. Both Jackson and Sharpton are incapable or unsympathetic to significant issues facing black Americans. The first being the obvious lack of attention big media machine devoted to a growing black middle class and the significant increase in black owned business, both facts ignored by Jackson, Sharpton and others. The second being that the other side of black America, the one that still garners big media machine’s attention, is the one living in ghettos with a 70% out of wedlock birthrate and living in on the borderline of poverty. Jackson, Sharpton and others dubbed by the press as civil rights leader only focus on this group. Your author has stated this before and that being if every black American gravitated towards the middle and upper class of socioeconomic advancement; Jackson, Sharpton and others of their race hustling ilk would not have a job. In other words it is Jackson and Company’s best interest to have a certain group in our society remain poor. This only proving that they are of no use for our society’s advancement.

Now Don Imus is Caucasian and has earned millions from his radio career. In the past ten years he and his wife have focused their attention in help cancer stricken children. How would Imus know of the slang ‘ho’, which is derived from the word whore? Well one possible source would be rap or hip-hop music. Where has Jackson and Company been on this issue? Silent.

Freedom of speech is a precious right that too many in our country take for granted. Others tout ignorance and balderdash while hiding behind the concept of this freedom. However when perverted by the far left practitioners of political correctness with a pick and choose mentality mixed with poor taste, the right becomes exploited and experiences a depreciating osmosis. This has resulted in the Imus incident becoming an issue out of a non issue and the refusal to address the demeaning lyrics often associated with some types of popular music. Sadly such tenants as personal responsibility and the appreciation of this right are forgotten.

Reader an item that has come to your author’s attention cannot be ignored and it is pertinent that you give it some scant attention. Trust your author, this is far more important than who will win American Idol.

There is an alarming trend in Congress that for whatever reason the big media machine are unable or refuse to take note. Some publications considered ‘right wing’ by conventional thinking self described liberal groups are taking note. Why every American isn’t outraged over this trend or at least clued in is beyond your author’s understanding.

Senator Dianne Feinstein Democrat from California and former Mayor of San Francisco has suddenly stepped down from her post on the Military Appropriation Appropriations subcommittee (MILCON). The subcommittee oversees the construction projects for military base and other entities. Here is a list of recent contracts awarded by MILCON with other relevant details.

Feinstein’s husband is the ultra rich Richard Blum. Through a series of investment partnership he and Feinstein own an estimated $1billion of the outstanding stock for these three companies. In the case of *CB Richard Ellis Blum is considered a major shareholder owning 7.5 million of the company's 227 million outstanding shares. These astute investments have allowed Feinstein to claim the title the fifth most wealthiest Senator.

Also note the absence of the non-bid factor in some of these contracts. Where is the American Left with their cries of such nuggets? These were the same ones that cried foul when Haliburton and the Iraq War were mentioned in the same sentence

To date not a single major publication has picked up on this story. It wasn’t until MetroActive News, a regional news web page focused on California’s Silicon Valley, reported on this obvious conflict of interest. However the LA Times was more than willing to publish this Feinstein penned rant against the President defending his Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez..

Senator Feinstein isn’t the only one with a conflict of interest issue. There is Democrat Congressman Allan B. Mollohan of West Virginia who watched his net worth ramp up after he appropriated funds to his home state where his business partners benefitted. There is also House Republican power figure Dennis Hastert from Illinois whose son Joshua lobbies on behalf of biotech giant Amgen and Lockheed Martin. There is also the favorite war hero for the American Left, Democrat Congressman Jack Murtha from Pennsylvania and Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. Murtha’s brother is Robert "Kit" Murtha, an employee of KSA Consulting, which is a lobby group specializing in representing defense contractors among other industries. And finally there is Senator Hillary Clinton , Democrat Senator from New York and humiliated First Lady during the Clinton Administration. While she ripped the Bush Administration over the Dubai Ports incident because a company from the Arab Emirates would manage several US ports; it was uncovered that her husband and former President Bill Clinton was actually charging a fee to speak with the country’s officials and addressed the ports issue specifically, thereby allowing the Clintons to play both sides of the issue.

Many within the Congressional Democrats team have set about to destroy the Bush Administration. At every corner taken by the President, words such as ‘impeachment’ have been thrown around and have become acceptable sound bites for many in the big media machine. From Haliburton to the Patriot Act to Attorney General Gonzalez, they have been relentless in their attempt to cause what is nothing more than static or haze and in the end a complete waste of time. Maybe they wish to deflect the attention from their own questionable closets? Thus far it is working.

Recently your author was discussing with a colleague the death toll from the Iraq War. Your author noted a trend or at least what appears to be one, that for every Coalition Force member’s death the media appears to multiply it by ten to estimate the number of Iraqis who died at that very moment.

Your author began to ponder on the reliability and truthfulness of such figures. It is safe to assume that an accurate figure on the deaths of the Iraq citizens cannot be fully known but does the 600,000 figure quoted by the media close to reality? Just on his own analysis your author already has these questions to ponder.

How many of these who are reported dead are not Iraq citizens but rather visiting members of an insurgency?

How many of these have been reported twice? In other words a passerby states a certain number were killed and another witness states another figure. The gatherer of the information simply combines these two accounts.

Now the big media machine should not be spared. Remember reader their industry competes for profits and headlines help impact their bottom line. The higher the body count the more ‘gotcha’ effect they can use to snag the reader or viewer.

In the April 1^st issue of the UK’s The Independent your author found an article that discusses the topic of the Iraqi body count. Now we should all know by now that the big media machine is less than honest. As your author has pointed out in previous entries they have either refused, forgotten or deemed it not newsworthy to tell the reader/viewer on the rebirth of the Baghdad stock exchange, the demands on the country’s utilities because people are loading up electronic items for their households or the success in Kurdistan province. They won’t tell you that 3 of the 18 or roughly 90% of the country’s provinces are under control. So why would the big media machine be honest as it relates to the body count?

According to The Independent article scientists from John Hopkins University and the Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad have derived the Iraqi death count figure of 600,000. Although what it doesn’t say nor can your author find this snippet of fact is exactly how this number is calculated. However the article goes further and states these unnamed scientists cannot paint a clearer picture. From the article:

"The researchers, reflecting the inherent uncertainties in such extrapolations, said they were 95 per cent certain that the real number of deaths lay somewhere between 392,979 and 942,636".

What does this tell us? Well for starters the obvious is that the figure quoted by the media machine and the American Left isn’t accurate. At best the scientists who estimated the 600,000 are now stating between 392,979 and 942,636. This means a range that doubles and that is hardly an accurate estimation but rather a guess.

To add more doubt for the reader to ponder, in the hopes they will form a reasonable conclusion, recall Hurricane Katrina. This was the big storm that flooded New Orleans, arguably the most corrupt city in America and caused the American Left and the big media machine to go into a tailspin.

The original death estimates placed it above the number who lost their lives during the 9-11 attacks. Then the number took a life of its own with estimates of over 10,000! The final number was 1,836 with another 705 referred to as missing. In Louisiana specifically the number is about 1,464 and a far cry from the whackos who made comparisons to the September 2001 attacks.

Readers it is an unfortunate time we live in as it relates to traditional news coverage. Many of them appear to act as propaganda tools for both the right and left. Thankfully the internet is able to slice through this murky muck of balderdash and the reader can find the answers on their own. The reader is always advised not to buy what the media industry is spinning for them. The bottom line profits don’t reflect accuracy and truth only their ability to sell you their product.
