Interesting write up and a great example of disinformation propaganda. If you throw in enough facts and a few red herrings, the big lie goes down easy. The acid test is the spin on bin Laden, 15 Saudi terrorists, and the Taliban. According to a number of write ups I've seen, going after the Taliban was Blair's idea and a condition of British support for the war on Iraq. In 2001, the Taliban outlawed opium production, which would have put one hell of a dent in England's heroine market. With the elimination of the Taliban, Afghanistan was back in the top spot for opium production by the end of 2002. To date the only "evidence" offered by the Bush administration to support allegations of bin Laden involvement in 9/11 is a blurry tape that was magically "discovered" in Afghanistan, which shows footage of a man with a rounder face and shorter nose than file photos known to be of bin Laden. The claim of 15 Saudis involved in the attacks can't be substantiated as no investigation has taken place, and at least 7 identities are known to have been faked.
Pitt is obviously sophisticated enough to be aware of the facts, so the inclusion of disinformation is intentional and serves a purpose. Why investigate 9/11 if we already know who was responsible? Blame bin Laden, Afghanistan and the Taliban, throw the responsibility at the feet of the Carter administration with irrelevant anecdotes with silver linings suggesting not all conspiracies are bad for America, and exit Pitt laughing at the suckers who pay to have the wool pulled over their eyes.
When you draw a line in the sand, Pitt is on the wrong side of America. Lower the Stars and Stripes and hoist the Jolly Roger. |
