  HISTORY IS FICTION & PROPAGANDA BUT SOMETIMES TRUTH SURVIVES ANYWAY

  Hey Laura Miller:

  Excellent topic

  some Definitions of bunk:

  noun: unacceptable behavior (especially ludicrously false statements)

  noun: a message that seems to convey no meaning

  I'd like to start my comments with a non-controversial observation. When you say:"After all, George W. Bush reportedly spent most of his presidency reading one historical work after another without gaining much in the way of political wisdom. Instead, he scoured the books in search of validation for his own preset ideas. Reading an account of France's battle against Algerian insurgents, he concluded that it failed not because oppressive French tactics alienated Algeria's population but because "their bureaucracy was not up to the job." He launched his war on terror while reading about Churchill, but he finished his presidency by harping on Truman, an unpopular president whose reputation recovered after he left office." ,

  most people know instantly that "W" never read a book in his life.

  Several books have been written about the Bush Crime Family, & more than one observer has noted that he stole both elections.

  It's doubtful that any history books used in educational institutions mention this fact.

  Another observation: there are many theories about what causes the business cycle, & if it wasn't for the fact that U.S. is under siege by FASCISTS & is beyond bankrupt,the following article in ROLLING

  STONE magazine might not have been taken seriously:

  Goldman Sachs: The great American bubble machine

  By SHANNON FEARS

  SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF

  From Rolling Stone:

  Matt Taibbi's piece in Rolling Stone magazine's latest issue is creating a fair amount of buzz across the Internet. It's hard not to be sucked into an article that begins this way:

  "The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere. The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."

  Anyone who gets his or her information from the few truth telling websites like Salon.com & also from authors courageous

  enough to get the truth published, knows that this article by

  Matt Taibbi is true. In fact, living truth, as these FASCIST

  miscreants continue to devour what's left of America. California is the poster state of FASCISM: it came , corrupted

  & conquered. Real living history.

  And with FASCIST Obama giving the FED carte blanche, the

  denouement can't be far .
