If your interested in the whole this is the address http://www.seconddraft.org/movies.php
It is however about 35megs.
How much of the horror stories you hear about are staged for use and blindly accepted by our media?

The UN also has several agencies that promote blatant Pan-Arabist Nazi propoganda. |

One of my favorite pieces of cheesy American attempts was the famous Reagan Speech calling for Gorby to 'Tear Down This Wall!'. Reagan was on a scheduled trip to Japan when somebody finally noticed the wall was being torn down, so Reagan had to make a hasty trip over there to appear it was his 'hard nosed foreign policy' that caused it. Many people hanging around the area at the time were told there was 'free beer' available, which is why there was a sort of a crowd there for the media to photograph. They started tearing down the wall a week before Reagan showed up, but to this day there are millions who still think it was Reagan's, and not Gorbachev's, doing and get all misty eyed over that moron's 'speech'. |

Whether any of the other stuff you said is true or not I don't know. However I don't even think Reagan was still president when the wall actually started coming down. And I imagine if he was put on notice that it was coming down he would go there to see it.
However he did demand Gorbachev "tear down that wall." That very historical speech happened 2 years prior to the wall coming down and thus people do think of Reagan when they think of the wall coming down.
The way you tell it makes it sound like he came up for the idea to request the wall come down after it had already done so which is total BS and complete irony based on the topic of this thread. |

Current Mood: | Re: Pallywood - The staging of a war All new agencies do that acting. I mean look at the New Jersey Flooding video where the news reporter is trying to show how much flooding and how dangerous it is at her current location... she is in a freaking canoe talking about the water being really deep or something and all of a sudden two dudes walk by her.
Top two stagged for America's on my list
#1) Saddam's capture. Not sure where I read it (if I find it again, I'll link it) but I read that Saddam was not found in some hole in the middle of no-where, that he actually was in a building, behind a desk and pulled out a pistol in his defense (but of course smacked in the face before he could aim it)
#2) The whole triumphant video of the troops rescuing that one female hostage who was "savagly taken by the Iraqis and mistreated etc etc" the real story (again, I'll link as soon as I find) is that she was actually taken by the Iraqi (Saddam's actual military force) Army and treated at a hospital..
I'm "fabricating" the finds and I'll make a threat about them ^_^

| LOL.
My favorite propoganda was about the Iraqis going into Kuwaiti hospitals and ' murdering babies and brutally removing them form incubators, and raping all the nurses', a media favorite ofr weeks and months, and one tale I still see repeated to this day. Quote: |

| Believe what you want; I don't care.
Another interesting truth is the wall wasn't built by the Soviets, and in fact they advised against building it in the first place. And, in any case, Gorbachev had little or no say in whether it was to get torn down or not in the first place, which makes Reagan's speech more than just a little stupid, and why most people in the know advised him at the time to leave that line out of it.
Gorbachev paid no attention to it, anyway, at the time, and wasn't even aware Reagan had said this, being busy with much more important things than Reagan's vapid photo ops. Gorbacheve fully deserves his Nobel Peace prize; he unilaterally pushed the Soviets into reform, and largely succeeded despite Reagan's ineptness and making his problems far worse than they would have been under a competent President. |
