    Blasting the Myth

    "Our international leadership has become confused and directionless. We are no longer the shining beacon of freedom and justice to our fellow nations."

    Totally false and misleading statement. "International leadership" has never been clearer vis a vis imperialism and colonialism. We have NEVER been a "shining beacon of freedom and justice". That's the Big Lie bullshit that lives in our public education system of "proper narrative" history (ask an American Indian for corroboration or a Katrina survivor on the streets of NO post storm staring down the gun barrel of a Blackwater mercenary).

    We don't turn out this myth, this great steaming pile of misinformation, we stay mired right where we're at, with minor adjustments in narrative and technique to maintain the SQ. Next big adjustment to narrative: Global Warming. The newest clever ruse to perpetuate genocidal capitalism. Al Gore is a porky pig insider/liar.
