Thread Name: BS: Obama's Truth Team (join me!)
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Truth Team (join me!)
Bobert...a majority of Americans are in favor of a military intervention in Iran because the corporate controlled mass media has been preparing them for it with several years of ceaseless alarmist propaganda about Iran!
That is how public consent is manufactured in America...by the media.
The truth is that Iran is NO danger to the USA and never has been, and that the only real reason Iran could possibly want nuclear weapons is to protect itself against being attacked by nuclear-armed Israel and the USA.
The Iranians would have to be crazy NOT to want some nuclear weapons, considering that they have been threatened in the most obvious and continual way for several years now by the rhetoric and military posturing of the USA and Israel. They are sitting there with the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads every day of their lives.
The US mass media doesn't tell that to Americans! All they tell them is "Iran is a terrible danger". The truth is: Iran is IN terrible danger! And they know it.
How can you expect your public to have a realistic view of an international situation when they are being lied to about it every day of their lives?
