Remember the 2005 film “Wag The Dog?” It was quite controversial then, and it might be today, if it were re-shown. It concerned a mythical president who, just before election, was caught with a young girl in a very suggestive situation in the Oval Office. The situation had to be overcome. Spin doctor Robert De Nero, and Hollywood producer Dustin Hoffman were the stars, and a fictitious war was created, which the president could miraculously win just before the election, as a true hero would do, and this would erase the young girl situation. It was a marvelous effort, and proved just how absurd the media are, plus how seemingly easy it is to create any situation imaginable, thanks to computer trickery. A girl was shown running in front of a blue screen., and it came out, thanks to computer artistry, that she was running from a European small town. “We need a bridge,” and presto, she was running across a bridge. “We need a fire,” and with a few buttons pressed, there was fire and smoke. Remember the Woody Allen film “Zelig,” where he appeared in all sorts of historical places, and looked and acted like his historic surroundings? Computers can do all sorts of things, as witness most current films, where the impossible things are always created by computer.
Nothing was spared in “Wag The Dog,” as far as media feed, fake news clips, on site interviews, and the whole bit. Headlines across the nation heralded the war with 128 point headlines, with fake reporters on the spot. It was actually almost believable, even though you knew it was a fraud. I’ll not tell the end, but rent it and you’ll see the possible similarities to various and sundry happenings today…if they are really happening. All the media were fooled, as were all of them with the JFK murder in Dallas. The official report (To be released I think in 50 years or some absurd date after everyone is dead) on the JFK assassination, says that Oswald did it, even though that was physically impossible. That cheap Italian rifle could not have possibly killed JFK, and even if it could have, a shooter would have to shoot him as he approached the book depository. He had to be after the left turn had been made, so that he could be shot from the grassy knoll, from where the shots did come. The fictitious bullet which made a couple of right turns before exiting the president was another absurdity. Naturally the autopsy was destroyed, and it’s funny that several dozen witnesses have and did die mysteriously. Who killed JFK? The film JFK is a remarkable film and contains a great deal of truth. I’ve been to than site several times, and every time I go there, I realize that it was probably a “Wag The Dog” situation, with all the stops pulled out.
The Oklahoma blast of the federal building had more holes in the official explanation than does a ton of Swiss Cheese. A truck of fertilizer? Why then were there explosive charges found in the building after the blast happened? Why would the supposed perpetrator be found, after the bomb blast, driving a car with no tags? As an invitation to be caught? He’s dead now, so we’ll never know, but I think it was a “Wag The Dog” scenario.
911, was the ultimate “Wag The Dog” show. No plane could have taken down those buildings, and no Arab pilot who had taken a few flying lessons, could have ever had the skill to do it. No U.S. pilot, even with guns aimed at their heads would have done it. The buildings went down in the same amount of time a controlled, planned, demolition would have taken. Many cops and survivors heard terrific explosions in the basements of the buildings, and World trade Center # 7 went down, obviously, as a planned demolition. Why was all the wreckage hauled off before an examination could have been made of the steel? There were no plane parts at the Pentagon, and no skilled pilot could have possibly flown as the official report says. Where were the wings, fuselage and engines? Why were all the cameras seized? It was obviously a missile. There was nothing in Pennsylvania but a hole where that plane was supposed to have been taken down. Same question. Where were the fuselage, wings, and engines? 911, and the ’official’ explanation, is so absurd to any thinking person who would do just a bit of research, that I am deeply disappointed that something hasn’t been done to negate the whole explanation. I am well aware that much has been done, but as in a “Wag The Dog” scenario, the media have been instructed not to publicize the numerous proofs of 911’s fiction.
Now we have “ISIS.” Did anyone hear of “ISIS” before it suddenly appeared in the media, midst the fears and horrors of it all? Did “ISIS” appear as if a rabbit from a magician’s hat? Suddenly, there is “ISIS.” I say that ISIS is merely Sunnis killing the Shiites, and it is none of our business, any more than is ebola, which also suddenly appears as if by magic. Is ebola a dangerous virus? Of course, but why do we concern ourselves with it? Why do we allow anyone who has been in those three African nations, be admitted to the U.S.? Why did Obama send thousands of U.S. troops there? What sort of “Wag The Dog” thing is going on with ISIS and ebola? Are they true, or media feed from government or government entities?
Were there weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq, when George Bush sent us there? No, but the media sucked it up like a dry sponge, as did the Congress who gave its guarded approval. What reason was there ever, for going to Afghanistan?? Name one excuse that was given by Bush for us going there? The Russians had given up years before, left all their guns and equipment, and were awfully glad to get out. Why did we go and why are we still there? Where are all the oil profits which were supposed to pay for the Iraq mistake? Is the entire mid-east affair a “Wag The Dog?” Who gave anyone permission to bomb and virtually destroy Libya? Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan were at peace ruled and totally controlled by three dictators, before we entered and destroyed hundreds of thousands of buildings and homes, plus hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Trillions of dollars, and probably a million of innocent lives have been lost in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. Why? I am no pacifist! Far from it, but I want to defend America, and when the media constantly says that returning dead and alive brave soldiers were protecting America, I get really angry. They were doing what they were told, and it just keeps the military-industrial complex alive and prospering, which Eisenhower warned us about in his final address as President. I’ve asked dozens of patriotic Vietnam and Korean vets if they ever found out why we were there, and every one said they had no idea, but were doing what they were told to do. The same can be said about Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya vets I am certain, but I haven’t asked one yet.
The 25th anniversary of the falling of the Berlin Wall is this week, as is the 100th anniversary of the bra patent. I’m certain all you gals are happy for that. Yesterday, a Muslim bomber killed 57 and injured hundreds at the Pakistan-India border, which has become a tourist attraction. A few bombs went off in Iraq as well, killing Shiites, which is merely normal news. Isn’t Islam a wonderful, peaceful religion?
