Pravda Has a Field Day Over Election -- HAAHAA! (Nelson laugh) |
|
The great American treason12/20/2004 15:54 (snip) But in the wake of the Bush dictatorship's coup of 2000 and the corruption-ridden "election" of 2004, the chickens have again come home to roost in America. A nation that has incessantly imposed and/or propped up fraudulent democracies throughout the world has finally become a fraudulent democracy itself, controlled by the machinations of a cabal of corrupt oligarchs who satiate Americans with the illusion of "voting," while ensuring their preordained puppets are installed into office.
Those who doubt that "democracy" is moribund in the United States need only look at the antithetical reactions regarding allegations of fraud in America's presidential elections, and allegations of fraud in the presidential elections held in the Ukraine.
Many western pundits, during their denunciations of the Ukrainian elections, routinely stressed that the alleged winner, Viktor Yanukovych, has a criminal record. Yet forgotten in these denunciations is the fact that George W. Bush is the first "president" to enter the White House with a criminal record, after pleading guilty to a drunken driving charge in 1976. Prior to this, he had also been arrested for disorderly conduct on two occasions. And, in the eyes of many throughout the world, he is a war criminal, responsible for the deaths of over one thousand Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis in an illegal war waged on nothing but lies.
In addition, while that alleged bastion of "justice," the United States Supreme Court, corruptly and unethically endorsed the electoral fraud that placed Bush into office during the coup of 2000, and while a primary architect of that fraud, Katherine Harris, was elected to the United States Congress, the Ukrainian Supreme Court had the integrity to invalidate the results of that nation"s presidential election. http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/101/399/14741_treason.html

1. Once upon a time Pravda's title (truth) was ironic. No more. |

2. Here's something I thought I would NEVER live to say... |
|
PRAVDA ROCKS!!!!
It's interesting, though, just days after our election they ran an editorial saying the thing was stolen once again! They had all their facts right, too! Must have a mole over there!
The more the story gets our internationally, the better I feel. Bad enough we have to live with this untenable situation; at least the rest of the world can know we did not select the "person" either time.

6. I believe the writer is American? |

It is ironic that America has become a nation so hypocritical that people will vehemently oppose the raising of taxes to provide better education or health care to the less fortunate, but will permit the wasting of billions of tax dollars and the loss of thousands of lives to promote an illegal, poorly planned, and even more poorly managed war. In calmer, more rational times such actions by an American president would be considered impeachable offenses at best, and treason at worst. But the exploitation of the tragic events of 9/11 has demonstrated the endurance of the following adage:
Treason never prospers. What is the reason? Because if it prospers None dare call it treason.
It is time that someone dare call it treason.

3. Who would have thought |
|
during the Cold War, that one day Pravda would be closer to reality than any of the US news networks?

But of course old habits die hard -- and the Russians KGB certainly has files filled with facts and gossip about these oh so "righteous" characters that have infested the White House with the un-democratic designs.
But even if the democratic opposition had these files -- would they put them to good use and attempt to restore democracy? Nope -- my bet is that they would become exactly like the bush crime organization.
In Germany a tiny minority could see through Hitler's manipulations of the news and events and knew that it was all a big lie -- many of this minority managed to flee Germany. These people are in their late 80s and 90s. I've talked to one woman who is in contact with others of the intelligentsia who fled Germany -- and they can see Hitler's mannerisms in bush. My friend said that bush's Hitler like swagger is becoming more pronounced. "How can you stand to watch him?" I asked. "I only watch NPR and can't miss seeing his image on that nightly news program -- they show him frequently."
From the article: So a page was borrowed from Adolph Hitler's political strategy. Hitler realized that in times of crisis if a leader repetitiously tells "great lies" to the masses, they will eventually come to believe them. In blaming the burning of Germany's parliament, known as the Reichstag, on "communists," Hitler was not only able to cement his grip on power, he was also able to pass the "Reichstag Fire" and "Enabling" acts, which severely curtailed civil rights and liberties in Germany. This, in turn, permitted him to pursue his warmongering agenda. The effect of this strategy was succinctly explained in Professor Felix Gilbert"s book THE END OF THE EUROPEAN ERA: E"ven after the dictatorial character of the Hitler regime had revealed itself, almost 44 percent of the German people voted for the Nazis."

10. Pravda = Truth, they have known about our election fraud since |
|
before this election. They were writing about it right after the election. On this matter, they are so right.

11. I'm a longtime Pravda reader. |
|
They haven't changed much in nearly 30 years. The main difference is that not every little demonstration is about to break out, Aurora-like, to a world-wide communist revolution.

12. Pravda proves the ironic point that the US media is now just * PR |
|
and US Propoganda. The msm scooped by Russia's state media... We will know Pravda has gone downhill when they start covering Michael, Peterson, and all the other US media infotainment!
