Ahmadinejad Stacks Cabinet, Risks SplintersPosted on Aug 20, 2009
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is building his new Cabinet and—surprise!—he has purged it of anyone in his previous Cabinet who dared voice a word of criticism. Some observers say Ahmadinejad is risking the wrath of his fellow conservatives, who have accused him of hoarding power by installing loyalists with little experience in governing.

Imagine the headlines if we had a truly free press:
Ahmadi Nijad appoints three Women to Cabinet
As it is we get:
Ahmadinejad Stacks Cabinet, Risks Splinters
Well pardon me but in my country, (New Zealand, a vibrant Democracy which often rates in the top three in the World) any Minister who publicly criticises the Government knows he’s out of a job next electoral round.

The 9/11-anthrax public relations homicide, which initiated the War on Terrorism, signalled the US plunge into barbarism, a dive that Obama is continuing. It is punctuating by Big Truths supported, at least initially, by both Gops and Dems, Conservatives and Progressives. These deceits involved ‘Truths’ about oil rich Muslim countries that, under the guise of the War on Terrorism, the US tried to steal their oil reserves.
The first, and most famous Big Truth, was the Iraqi ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction,’ conveyed by Sec of State Powell before the UN and the world.
Simultaneously, the US promligated the ‘Darfur Genicide’, the only country to declare a genocide, a UN commission stating, that while thier was enormous carnage, a genocide did NOT exist. If one were declared howver, the US could use it to put its troops in Sudan and gain back all the oil lost when Chevron was expelled, and which is currently being developed by China.
The third Big Truth is the one supported here, the ‘Iran Stolen Election.’ Iran has had a tradition of counting the votes honestly, the rigging of elections being done, as in the US, in eliminating troublesome candidates beforehand. But Ahmadinejad is an anti-imperialist candidate and when they win electiions- excuse me, ‘win’ elections, they are always ‘Dictators’ in the American mainstream truth. Even in Iran where Ahmadinejad does not even hold suprreme power.
In US mythology, anyone opposing US imperialism is a Terroist, or supports Terrorists, and thus subject to US homicde.
The US is on record of appropriating the enormous sum of 400 million dollars for one regime change in Iran, including the funding of terrorists groups in the north and south. And Progressive groups and truth organs like TD support the ‘Reformers’ who are the richer and Educated classes, funded by a corrupt billionaire family.
The American people are deluded by these Big Truths that are used to justify violence against oil rich Muslim countries. They are essentially outright lies, truth being the first victim of war. To mobilize the American population, it is necessary to emphasize how they are being lied to by Progessive and Dem truthers, the Gop truthers being used to delude the Conservative rank and file. This is an essential prerequiste to mobilizing the population against the homicidal US power system.
And this mobilization is necessary as the US descends into barbarism, and the lies become thicker and more absurd.
