War On Reality Part 96 ; Military Still Restricting Access To Soldiers Funerals


Even after seven years of military action by the US, the administration is still terrified of the troop death toll being overtly public.

Tell The Truthiness Says ; It's like trying to hold back a flood from a breaking dam, pointless.

Road To Tehran 10 ; US Conducting Covert Ops In Iran.


With just over six months left before President Bush leaves office, the ugly idea of going after Iran has reared it's head.

According to the New Yorker, covert, US military operations are underway in Iran. The cost of these behind the scenes murky doings are four-hundred million dollars.

Tell The Truthiness ; He may only have six months left, but when you're as unpredictable as Bush and as powerful, it's plenty of time for plenty to happen.

Holding Them To Account 13 ; Bush Whacked On Iraq By Former Press Secretary



Excerpts from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's book have been published and they slam the President's case for war with Iraq. He talks about Bush using propaganda to push the case for war and the media going easy on the administration in its justification for the invasion.

Tell The Truthiness ; Well done Scott McClellan on revealing the truth from someone who was on the inside.

War On Reality Part 86 ; See No Evil - Abortion Vanishes, According To US Government


A US government backed medical information website blocks the use of the word 'abortion' in it's search function. Why not give it a go?

This seems rather like the blocks the Chinese government makes on Google when anyone domestically searches for Tibet independence.

Tell The Truthiness ; Perhaps if they remove the word Iraq invasion from search engines the US government can make us thing it never happened? Not flipping likely.

Road To Tehran 8 ; Hormuz Boat Incident A Fake


The Pentagon has backtracked on the exact details of Sunday morning's boat incident between the US and Iran.

Iran was the first to produce evidence that discounts the US claims. Authorities showed footage they said didn't show any of their boats approaching US vessels. Then, the US Navy admitted the voice on the US released tape may not have been Iranian in origin.

Plus, Pentagon officials are also saying the threatening voice on the videotape was recorded separately and added to the tape later.

Tell The Truthiness ; A poorly executed 'false-flag' operation, carried out by an inept government. Expect the actual plan for this to be published tomorrow, written badly on the back of a cheap bar napkin. Just three-hundred and seventy-five days of this administration to go.

War On Reality Part 81 ; FBI Takes Out Some Really Smelly Trash Too


Former FBI Director, J Edgar Hoover had a plan in the nineteen-fifties to arrest twelve thousand people in the US who were considered a threat to national security.

The papers, classified until, now also detail how Hoover pushed for the suspension of habeas corpus.

Tell The Truthiness ; We of course know that President Bush has taken on, pretty much all of Hoover's mantle, with warrant-less wiretapping, the optional Geneva Convention and the suspension of habeas corpus. Hoover would feel like what he was planning was unambitious compared to the current president.

Keith Olbermann's video reminds us of the extraordinary unconstitutional actions of this presidency.

War On Reality Part 80 ; CIA Takes Out A Trash Bombshell


A snugly dropped bombshell into the public domain on this weekend, just before Christmas, the CIA has taken out the trash.

Back when the 9/11 commission were requesting information to compile their very watery report in 2003, repeated requests were made to the CIA on interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects.

This footage is the same footage that was later revealed to exist, but was then reported to have been erased. So for about the eight-hundredth time in the last four years, public confidence in the CIA is shattered and the flawed commission report has another swiss cheese-like hole shot through it's authority which is big enough to fly a plane through.

Tell The Truthiness ; Once again, the real news is 'dumped' at a time of year when it will get the least coverage and analysis by the papers and networks. Take out the trash, sounds like something out of The West Wing, oh, it is, click here.

President Threatens To Veto House Ban On Waterboarding


As pro-waterboarders try to justify the torture method from the apparent thirty-five seconds it took before the confession of an alleged al-Qaeda member, the President has once again had to search for his veto stamp.

The 222-199 vote in the House, sends the bill to the Senate for consideration to ban waterboarding. Despite the Democrats and some Republicans involved, if the President is going to veto anyway, shouldn't there be another way of overruling Mr Bush?

Tell The Truthiness ; This has happened with the war funding bill and now with this. There's only so many times you can keep slamming your head against a wall before it cracks open all together. Come on Pelosi, you must have some other ideas?

The Wolf Is At The Door ; Someone Kicks Him Through It



With the amount of suspicion and murkiness that surrounds many current and former Bush cohorts, it's oddly satisfying that one of them at least has had, to a degree, justice served on them.

That's right, after a lot of hand-wringing, Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank is to resign from his position and leave the post by the 30th June. The World Bank has been dragged down over the last few months as regular rolling news channel fodder as his conflict of interest with his girlfriend was discussed at length.

There was criticism that Mr Wolfowitz had got his girlfriend a promotion and substantial pay rise during his tenure at the WB.

Tell The Truthiness ; Once the White House expresses it's 'full support' for you, you know you'd better pack your pot plants and hand in your parking pass.
