When Was The Last Time The US Government Told The Truth About Anything?
This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink.
Steven,
Can you name ANY government that HAS told the truth?
What would be the point in the government telling the truth?

Truth in politics is always what makes the other side look worse than you. Which is to be expected, I suppose.
Until people die.
Can it get any worse?

Well, actually I thought it was quite honest when Bush invaded Iraq and didn’t find WMD’s he simply admitted it – he didn’t try to make anything up – which kind of surprised me.
Bush had integrity
There were other perfectly valid reasons for invading Iraq; unfortunately they emphasized the WMD argument too much.
The best reason was the fact that we were still at war with Iraq. We never signed any sort of peace agreement, only a “Conditional Cease Fire”, to which Sadam thumbed his nose for a dozen years. Sixteen UN resolutions calling for Sadam to disarm, and he continued to defy the world. We had an obligation to go back in and finish the job.
It was not an arbitrary decision to that we chose a Conditional Cease Fire over a Cessation of Hostilities in 1991.
Probably 2008
We live in strange times.
We will all be losers if the upcoming election succeeds in perpetuating this corrupt system, instead of giving US citizens a chance to vote for a return to constitutional government.
The evolution of Communism under Stalin before WWII, that George Orwell described in Animal Farm [1], apparently continued uninterrupted under the UN after WWII, exactly as George Orwell had predicted it would in a futuristic novel he wrote in 1948, Nineteen Eighty-Four [2]: http://www.george-orwell.org/1984
The United Nations appears to be:
a.) Directed by a reincarnation of the USSR’s Joseph Stalin, and
b.) Allied with associates of the USA’s most hated capitalists
The UN’s Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) and Agenda 21 suggests this:

I regret that I could not decipher what was happening until I observed the strange response of world leaders and leaders of the scientific community to 2009 Climategate emails. Two years earlier, in 2007, Czech President Vaclav Klaus warned us tyranny engulfed the planet [3].
Dr. Vaclav Klaus had lived under Communism and was one of the first to recognize its character.

Government would first have to convene hearings and inquiries to discover truth, as it has not been on their agenda for many years.
You are right, gator69. Here is their agenda: http://omanuel.wordpress.com/about/#comment-1581
I learned more about government by reading Orwell, than I learned in all of my civics and social studies classes combined.
That’s easy. It was when Bill Clinton was asked about his relationship with his intern.
Here’s my selection, sorry for the length.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1960
A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present
and is gravely to be regarded.
All the truth they would ever need was told for them, before they even really were a government. It starts something like, ‘We the people….’
1776. Oh, that was pre-government.
