Will the media lead us to War with Iran

The Obvious Truth People Are Refusing To See

From New York Times to Associated Press to Google, the hypocritical coverage and misleading news headlines is leading us to war with Iran. Last two moths there has hardly been a day that New York Times has not printed a decisively opinionated column telling the nation and the world that its OK to go to war with Iran. The allegiance of New York Times with Iz-ra-eeli lobby is no surprise. New York Times, touted as independent media is THE mouthpiece of AIPAC and rest of the Iz-ra-eeli war machine.


The latest headline from Google:


Here is the headline from New York Times:



The story does not stop at the headlines though. Many of the articles, opinions, and Op-Ed pieces allow you to leave comments and that is where the real story reside. The vitriol, the venom spewed, and the amount of hatred towards not only Iran but rest of the world that has anything to do with Iran. Surprisingly nobody faults the Russians who actually sold the technology as well as most of the know how on building the reactor. Why? The truth may just come out as to what is the capability of is sold to them.

Here are comments and there is no surprise as to what is expected:



Here is another example:




The distortions, the half truths, the misinformation, the unsubstantiated anonymous sources, and just outright lies is what makes up the coverage of Iran nuclear issues. There are many people that know exactly how crooked the media is when it comes to Iran however most of these people have no clue what to do about it. Here is an example of the misinformation (this is realted to drone attacks in Pakistan and the "accuracy" of these attacks):





So the question one must ask: how do they know they were all militants?

One advantage that media has over people at large is that no matter how many comments you leave with hard facts the damage that is done by somebody like New York Times can never be undone. Nobody has the time to call them to account. So the editors know very well that these distortions no matter how egregious are not going to land them in court. The actual war criminals are walking the streets stuffing there pockets let alone the editors of a newspaper being called to account.

Is Your Church Or Synagogue Teaching You Hatred And Bigotry





God of all religions teaches love for all mankind. At least that is what we are told over and over when you meet with any religious person. They tell you God teaches love and forgiveness, kindness and humility. They tell you their God teaches to be good to your fellow human beings and practice tolerance for trespasses of others. But then where is all the hatred coming from. What about the guy who thinks he is Godly. The guy on the pulpit who has people's ears at least once a week? Can they be teaching us things we should not be learning at the church or synagogue.

How about you? Have you paid real close attention to what is being said in churches and synagogues across the country and how it's being said? What is the real message. Is it us vs them? Is it our religion is the only righteous religion? Is it that they are telling you that problems happen as an indicator of wrath of God to those who disobey? Are the interpretation of holy books too literal? Are you subliminally being taught that we must cleanse our cities of people that don't belong with us? Is your religion asking you that you will not achieve godliness as long as there is single person of another faith among you? Are they asking you to take revenge?

Perhaps it's time to look for an alternative. Perhaps it's time to reconsider. Perhaps it's time to tell them enough is enough. Perhaps it's time to ask them where is the love and kindness, the tolerance and humility. Perhaps it's time to ask them which God exactly are they asking us to follow after all. Perhaps its time to ask them is their God really all about love as they claim?

Stupid French

France wants to ban Muslim women from wearing veil, the hijab or whatever it is that they call it. This is one of the most misguided policies that have come about and matches pretty closely to the hateful law the Swiss passed few days ago about the minarets.

Wearing of Hijab has nothing to do with the society. It has only to do with one thing: we hate you and we dislike you and that is what we want to promote; hatred, animosity, and bigotry.

Starting with the current French president, the whole country is full of bigots and people that think that preventing women from wearing hijab will somehow make people tolerant of each other. On the contrary, it will increase the animosity and those who can not see it is because they just don't want to see it.

Outside France, its yet another black eye for France and its people that had barely recovered from the Iraq fiasco. However this time its much easier to sweep this issue under the rug. Now if some loony guy decides to target the subway or some public place to blow himself up along with many others then French have nobody else but themselves to blame.
