It's hard to know what is the truth anymore. From the article about John Rendon

rollingstone.com

and his corporation, it is apparent that the Pentagon is spending vast amounts of money for them or others to control the perceptions of people in support of policies they want to implement -- previously attacking Iraq, and now attacking Iran. In doing so, their mode of operations is to plant stories in foreign newspapers -- previously Australia, now maybe Canada also(?) -- that later get picked up in the US. It sounds like they even pay people to participate in or lead internet discussions -- wonder if there is anyone on SI on a payroll, bringing the day's chosen talking points to us? Some people who have a never-ending flow of neocon propaganda in their posts make me wonder.

We had the Jewish insignia story for Iran, whereby a PR corporation paid an Iranian "expert" and known liar to fabricate the story, and this same expert/liar was later visiting the White House. Who paid the PR corporation and for what purpose? How many more stories like these are we going to get? How willing of a participant in disinformation is the National Post, or is it just the Asper family's zealous support of Israeli extremism that leads them to unwittingly pick up whatever they can find from the Israeli / neocon viewpoint and put it on a platter for Canadians as something supposedly of Canadian interest?
