The covert disinformation campaign was secretly codenamed ‘Operation INFEKTION’. In July 1983, an Indian newspaper in New Delhi published an article alleging “U.S. experiments” were the likely cause of a new mysterious disease dubbed ‘AIDS’. Five years later, CBS anchor Dan Rather announced to millions of concerned Americans allegations that their own military might have been behind the deadly virus. On that very day, a few KGB operatives in the secret agency’s Lubyanka headquarters in Moscow likely praised each other for a job well done. The story about U.S. military experiments that might have produced AIDS caught up slowly but...

Obama's abuse of government to target his opponents began before he was elected. Remember this from 2008? "Prosecutors and sheriffs from across Missouri are joining something called the Barack Obama Truth Squad. [] They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year" http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=369_1222427745&comments=1 Prosecutors and sheriffs using the power of their office to get a person elected... that smacks of coup d'etat. Is it any surprise that the IRS was used to attack Obama's enemies? Like the Truth Squads, no one has been prosecuted. Is...

Even if it were a legit number, the 8.3% February unemployment rate, released today by the Labor Department, would be simply terrible—and unacceptable. It would still extend the longest streak of 8%-plus unemployment since the Great Depression. The U.S. economy hasn’t been below 8% unemployment since Obama took office in January 2009. And back in May 2007, unemployment was just 4.4%. But, unfortunately, the true measure of U.S. unemployment is much, much worse. 1. If the size of the U.S. labor force as a share of the total population was the same as it was when Barack Obama took...

A group of Utah business people who sat on the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic committee have formed a “truth squad” aimed at criticizing former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for trumpeting his role in rescuing the troubled games, the Herald has learned. Utah Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Holland said he’s been meeting with former Olympic officials who plan to roll out an anti-Romney campaign in the coming weeks.“He just happened to come in at the right time,” Holland said. “Whoever came in at that time could have been the hero. His role has been way overblown.”Holland said the group came...

A GOP counter-delegation is forming to undermine the Obama administration's work on an international climate change agreement in Copenhagen, warning that the president is poised to make commitments he can't keep and drawing heightened attention to controversial leaked e-mails. A GOP counter-delegation is forming to undermine the Obama administration's work on an international climate change agreement in Copenhagen, warning that the president is poised to make commitments he can't keep and drawing heightened attention to controversial leaked e-mails. At least a half-dozen Republican senators and representatives are planning to head to Denmark next week, as part of the overall U.S....

(COP15) Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe announced on C-SPAN this morning that he would be traveling to the Copenhagen climate summit as a “on-man truth squad.” The senator is one of the most outspoken critics of the cap and trade legislation and a leading skeptic of the manmade climate change theory. * Video: Senator Inhofe says he will go to the UN Climate ConferenceThe...

Sheriff Joe held a sweep in NW Phoenix, Friday October 16, 2009. He had a press conference after. US Department of Justice Officials (approximately 5) showed up at the conference, UNDERCOVER, POSING AS REPORTERS. When contacted by a Sheriff commander, the Federal Civil Rights officials posing as journalists, conducted themselves "unprofessionally" and "refused to provide official identification. Only one official from the "covert team provided any form of ID when pressed." That was the senior trial attorney, (phonetics) G. Yong Jung. She has been conducting the DOJ's investigation of the Sheriff's office re: allegations of racial profiling. Ms. Yong Jung...

Various conservative blogs are talking about the existence of a "blog squad" at the U.S. Justice Department. The website, the Muffled Oar writes that a blogging unit formed within the Department of Justice to counter websites with posts, articles, and user comments critical of the Obama administration. Matthew Miller Director of Public Affair at the Justice Department told the Washington Times,: "There is no 'blog squad'. There is Tracy [Russo] who handles online media. It’s the policy of the office of public affairs to not post anonymous comments. We have not seen any evidence that anyone does post comments, and...

Have you paid a visit to Altgeld Gardens recently? This public housing complex has affordable housing units available for immediate occupancy, but apparently few people want to live there. A certain community organizer made a name for himself after working here without appreciably improving the daily lives of the local residents that he set out to empower. I wonder whatever became of him? If the weather is pleasant this weekend would you like to take a walking tour of the Illinois 13th Legislative District? Not interested? Isn’t Englewood much improved after Obama represented the district in the Illinois Senate? Surely,...

This video is now going to be airing in commercials in Michigan and PA as of October 1st. Arrogance and stupidity...along with 4 + Million views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FCNKwHRCQM

Last week the Governor of Missouri, Matt Blunt, issued a statement on the Obama campaign’s “abusive use of Missouri law enforcement.” What was striking about the allegations Blunt made was the eerie parallel between the Obama camp’s activity and the Organization of the Islamic Conference’s efforts to stifle all criticism of Islam and destroy the freedom of speech – also by means of legal intimidation – at the UN and elsewhere.

Lee County Sheriff Scott's 'Hussein' reference sparks federal probe

Whew! I was waiting for CNN to tell me if there was real connection there, and now we know. This actually is a weird video. First of all, they call themselves the "Truth Squad," which is exactly the same title the Obama campaign is using for groups of police and prosecutors in Missouri it has asked to go after people who "lie" about Obama. These guys are so glib and are practically laughing at how silly and non-sensical this whole thing is. Video at the link.

I think we need to control the language about these so-called "Truth Squads" and call them what they are. So this thread is for anyone with a good idea or ideas about a better phrase for them. I have several to get the ideas flowing: 1. Obama Truth Goons 2. Obama Brownshirts 3. Obama's Ministry of Truth (1984 ref.) 4. Obama's Spin Squad 5. Obama Falsification Brigade 6. Obama's Lyin'-Ass Peeps 7. Obama's Lying Bastards 8. Obama's Pants on Fire Groups 9. Obama's In Your Face Squads 10. Obama's Deny the Truth Squads

Sh!t or get off of the pot Senator McCain. Obama is not even worthy of being in a debate with you ,but you treat him like a worthy adversary when he is an imposter, a poser even. He is a creation and not a genuine entity. Nobody really knows who he is, so why aren't you asking him who he is? I am not talking about any seldom seen internet ad either. Where is his birth certificate? Where are his college records and papers? Where is his Illinois senate office records? Where is his past "client" list? Where is proof...

[Note that this is from Google's cache. The Obama campaign's moderators deleted the entry within hours of its appearance, and on a Sunday.] What the .....? I was surfing the net, looking for Obama stories and found one that was NOT good! Does anyone know what the heck this is all about? Anyone from Missouri who can shed some light on this? Let's hope it's all a bunch of overblown Repugnican crap... Obamination: Obama Supporters Bob McCulloch, Jennifer Joyce Threaten to Prosecute People For Criticizing Obama September 24, 2008 Posted by Webmaster in Abuse of Power, Campaign 2008, St. Louis...

Quote from Gov.Blunt "This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out...

Proving that not all Change is necessarily a good thing, some powerful Democrats in Missouri have taken the unprecedented step of forming "Truth Squads" to protect Barack Obama from "false criticisms." Television station KMOV has aired a story alleging that two St. Louis County Circuit Attorneys are threatening to bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President, that of course being Barack Obama. http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/09/missouri-sheriffs-prosecuters-form.html The mind boggles at the potential for abuse, especially since the Truth Squad appears to be on the prowl only for false criticisms...

St. Louis Circuit Jennifer Joyce has been caught in a dust-up over her presence on a “Truth Squad” for Barack Obama. < snip > Now, here is a statement from Joyce: As a citizen, I believe that elections should be about issues. I also have enormous respect for our First Amendment and freedom of speech. My sole purpose in participating in this initiative is about getting truthful information to the voters. This has never been or never will be about prosecuting people. Clearly there are those who are attempting to twist the purpose of this initiative for their own benefit....
