Iraq Anti-War Movement: A Pop Quiz for Americans

American Thinker ^ | August 25, 2007 | Kyle-Anne Shiver

[neverdem]

Beginning August 28, America will witness the new thrust of Anti-Iraq War Protests.  The aim of these protests is exactly the same as the other protests you have seen to date:  altering the public perception of the War, thereby manipulating public opinion (polling) against the war. 

Americans, beware, you must be on guard against this tactic; it is one of the known symptoms of a fatal virus, historically infamous for killing off entire civilizations.  Our mainstream media already has it, and if you are not very, very cautious, you will also - may already - be infected. 

This is a very contagious, quickly spreading, society-fatal virus, known as TNSTAAL (There's No Such Thing As a Lie), and it is vital that every American be prepared with the antidote serum:  the truth.  Not to worry though; the serum is extremely potent.  You don't even need "the whole truth" and "nothing but the truth," because even a little of the "truth" will help you defeat this virus, and it is easily available and pretty darned cheap.  Just being aware of the virus every time you see the news on television or read a newspaper, gets you halfway to the cure.

To help you get started, I have devised this "Citizen's Quiz," and have even provided the answers, and a few clues to help you find more of the antidote "truth serum." 

WARNING:  Failure to detect this deadly TNSTAAL virus will be deadly to America.  Once a society is infected, it only takes a matter of several decades to kill off the entire culture; we are already in our 4^th decade.  Our great Country -- that took hundreds of years to build, the lives of millions of our greatest men and women on battlefields across the world, and more sweat, blood and tears than you or I could ever shed - all of that - could disappear if we are not prepared to recognize the TNSTALL virus and stock up on the truth antidote. 

Questions: 

If you do not readily know the answers to the following questions about the Anti-Iraq War "Movement," you probably have the TNSTAAL virus.  If so, follow the clues to more "truth serum";  your citizen's immune system, and your well-formed conscience will do the rest.

1.  True or False?  The Anti-Iraq War Protests are spontaneous eruptions of true American discontent with the War -- its objectives, its means, and its results so far.

FALSE.

These Anti-War protests are carefully planned by professional organizers to maximize press coverage, and to give the "illusion" (key word, indicates TNSTAAL) that they are "spontaneous eruptions of true American discontent".  Soldiers now in Iraq need to be the most concerned with this; their lives may actually depend now on recognizing this symptom of the virus.

In fact, organization for "the wave" of protests set for next week has been in the planning stage for months.  The operational phase begins August 28, and it will receive massive press coverage.  Soldiers especially must remember that the networks and newspapers are heavily infected with TNSTAAL already, and cannot be relied upon for adequately factual reporting.

Clue to more "truth serum":  Follow this link  Iraq Campaign, or go to noiraqescalation.org

2.  True or False?  The protesters you see on television are just ordinary Americans, making huge, personal sacrifices of time and money just to let the Country know how much discontent there is over the Iraq War.

FALSE.

Many of these protestors are just doing the jobs they were paid to do - nothing more.  The only difference between "them" and honest Americans working in factories and offices, in civil service and schools, is that their job will get them on the network news - and yours will not.  Their job is to convince individuals in our American Congress that they will "face political extinction" if they do not "help end the War" - NOW.

Some of these protestors you will see on your televisions and in your newspapers have been "on the payroll" of a massively funded group of 527 organizations all summer.  They are being paid $400 cash per week PLUS "free" housing PLUS "free" gasoline.  For the past 3 months, they have been in the "professional demonstrator" training program that includes the following:  "training in political messaging, earned media, legislative tracking, grassroots organizing, visibilities and other campaign tools."  

Clue to more "truth serum":  Do your own Google search:  Americans Against Escalation in Iraq.  The above quotes were taken from the "Iraq Campaign" website, and are the remarks of Tom Matzzie, the director of the Washington, D.C. office of MoveOn.org.

3.  The signs carried by the protestors are original sentiments, and represent the true feelings of the vast majority of American citizens regarding the War in Iraq, and the current Surge, in particular. 

FALSE.

The signs carried by the protestors were designed by professional advertising gurus, at substantial expense to the "backers," and should be considered with the same skepticism one uses when viewing a commercial for Budweiser or Cheerios.  Even though the paid commercial makes it appear that all Americans should only drink Budweiser, just a small amount of "truth serum" will help your immune system determine that there are indeed other brands.  Corporate commercials are actually much more free of the TNSTAAL virus, however, and therefore much safer, because Americans already know they are biased to sell more beer.  These protest signs, on the other hand, are very dangerous, because they are professionally engineered to appear to represent the true and original convictions of the persons carrying them for free media advertising.

4.  True or False?  "Americans Against Escalation in Iraq" is in reality a "multi-faceted, multi-million dollar effort," designed specifically to "target" more than 60 members of the American Congress who are blocking end-the-War-NOW legislation.  They are essentially paid lobbyists.

TRUE.

The group uses those precise words to describe itself right on its very own website.  The only reason that the networks and newspapers will not tell you about this when they report on the "demonstrations" is that - remember! - they are already so infected with TNSTAAL that they feel no "truth-in-reporting" obligation to more fully inform you.  If you indeed get most of your "news" from the mainstream media, you should be so warned now:  you probably already have caught the virus from them, as they are quickly spreading it to the rest of the unsuspecting population.  Remember, this is a society-fatal virus that has the potential of killing you now if you are a soldier in Iraq, and kill the entire American culture within the next decade.

5.  True or False?  Most of the financial backers of this professional "wave of demonstrations" (that are professionally designed at great expense to appear unrehearsed, unprompted, unorganized and honest) have the best interests of all Americans at heart, and truly want to see our forces win a decisive victory in Iraq, thereby substantially weakening the resolve of our Islamofascist enemies and ensuring greater safety and security for all Americans.

FALSE.

The primary financial backing for these demonstrations is provided, through a highly deceptive network of 527 tax-exempt organizations, by a multi-billionaire, naturalized American citizen, whose stated aim in life is to destroy the entire concept of Nation States and establish a one-world oligarchy.  His name is George Soros.

He has imported to America, over the last 30 years, enough of the TNSTAAL virus to accomplish his aim, perhaps even before he goes to meet his Maker.  Every time you see or hear the following names, think "George Soros" and the TNSTAAL (There's No Such Thing As a Lie) virus.

Center for American Progress

Center for American Progress Action Fund

Media Matters

Independent Media Institute

Center for Investigative Reporting

Center for Public Integrity

Clue to more "truth serum":  For a more comprehensive list of Soros-backed TNSTAAL virus labs, follow this link to a special report by Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media.  Mr. Kincaid writes, "His (Soros') web of financial interests, companies and foundations makes Halliburton look like a Mom & Pop operation."  I agree wholeheartedly.

This deceptive web that makes one voice - Soros' voice - appear to be a majority of voices, and represents  an act of psychological warfare.  Many prominent media figures sit on the Boards of these various "Soros Voice Machines."  Bill Moyers, for instance, sits on the board of Soros' Open Society Institute.

To put it simply, George Soros has brought more of the TNSTAAL virus to American shores than the number of smallpox germs carried to America by settlers from Europe.  The only difference is that while the settlers were unaware of the threat they posed to the native population here, Mr. Soros' has intentionally spread a deadly virus. 

One final word here on TNSTAAL:  There is indeed such a thing as a lie.  The best way to make certain that lies go undetected is to intentionally sow confusion about the truth.  An especially well-known way to deflect the truth is to accuse you of lying first.  The most fertile ground for the seeds of deception has always been, and will forever be, the ground of confusion.

Thanks for the links on more mindless marxists. I prefer to call those folks neoCOMs.

YW. THey are mindless but it is good to have their own words on hand. What shocked me is that I was going through their archives and found my own name in there. Mark that up to a good day when you tick these people off.

"On this the 39th Anniversary of Anti-U.S. Activist TOM HAYDEN’s attempt to shut down the 1968 Democrat Convention on the Streets of Chicago over the Vietnam War..."

Yeah, but as big of a temper tantrum that the Left had, it gave Nixon the presidency. If liberals push too hard, they're going to scare the average American. Who wants to turn the country over to a bunch of crazies?

The Problem for US now in this new time of war in a new century with our own Freedom directly at stake right here at home is that...

...a seemingly middle of the road Presidential Candidate HILLARY RODHAM was just such a Liberal “crazie” you talk about that was against the Freedom of others during the Vietnam War.

Only this time around, we’re THE Target.
