They appear daily like weeds on all topics. As a result, Times reports aren’t fit to read, let alone print. August 18 was no exception, publishing lies about Libyan insurgent victories.
On August 18, headlining, “Libyan Rebels Gain Control of Oil Refinery as Qaddafi Forces Flee,” Kareem Fahim’s article was pure Pentagon propaganda, duplicitously lying to readers.
Yet he said “(r)ebel fighters claimed complete control of a sprawling (Zawiyah) oil refinery, seizing one of (Gaddafi’s) most important assets after just three days of fighting and delivering the latest in a string of small victories that have suddenly put the rebels at Tripoli’s door.”
Reporting from Tripoli, independent Middle East/Central Asian analyst, Mahdi Nazemroaya refuted him, telling Progressive Radio News Hour listeners that:
– Gaddafi forces are winning;
– rebels are in disarray;
– the so-called National Transitional Council (NTC) is falling apart;
– Misrata was liberated from rebels;
– Tripoli is peaceful and calm, despite daily NATO bombing, willfully targeting civilians and nonmilitary sites;
– scattered fighting continues along routes to Tunisia and elsewhere;
– arteries between the two countries remain open;
– Intense Western propaganda wants to intimidate Gaddafi supporters to give up hope of prevailing;
– it’s had the opposite effect, in fact, galvanizing Libyans overwhelmingly behind Gaddafi, making him by far the most popular African/Middle East leader; and
– his forces control Gheryan, Sorman, Sabratha, and Zawiyah, its oil refinery and others; reports saying otherwise are lies; rebels are south of the city, not in it.

Yes.
“A Four-alarm fire in Downtown Moscow clears way for a glorious new tractor factory.”
He was probably on his way to when someone smarter than he is, the mouse in the rose garden maybe, stopped him from virtually assassinating himself.
That was by far the creepiest interval signal, freaked the dickens out of me the first time I heard it.
But McCain and Linsey led a victory parade last night. Doesn’t that count for something?
Just that it is not as it is being reported.
I thought you’d appreciate that. Of course, when the time comes, Radio Hope and Change will require its own SW interval signal. I hope it’s not a Ludacris song.
I especially loved the part about being the “voice of Soviet public opinion.” As if these guys went around Moscow asking people their opinions.
Brazenly lying to our faces for 60 years . . . MAYBE less boldly for another 40+ years before that.
Super brazenly from at least Klintoons on.
Othuga probably knows that
he’s just a glorified clerk—black talking teleprompter driven head
in the overall scheme of things.
He knows he has little say in it all.
It is extremely creepy.
LOL, that pretty much it.
OTOH, always enjoyed hearing “Moscow Nights” on Radio Moscow, always thought it was cool tune.
It just fits so neatly into the Obama as FDR fantasy that the MSM is putting forth.
The cool and confident leader of the free world spurring the allies on to victory from his vacation retreat. Uninterested, yet engaged.
I expect of photo of him cruising in a yacht in a white v-neck and a cigarette holder.
I would not be at all surprised if this were pre-arranged.
I can’t wait until the Middle East crap blows up in his face.
Okay now: I see that Obama is going to speak on Libya at 2pm ET. Drudge has taken down the banner from earlier that made it seem like Tripoli was about to fall, and FOX News reports the situation is "chaotic". One wonders what is really going on there. One also worries about what's really going on there...
“We have defeated the evil forces of American aggression”... Baghdad Bob 1980s
If it’s the Slimes, the default answer is, “If its the Times, of course its wrong, but everyone at the network assignment desks will jump through their arses to chase the story!”
Be well.
Ok... a little birdie tells me that quote was from the 1990s but one decade looks just like the last one when you’re approaching 80
