TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: Can you have a better example of the false sense of reality that the corporate news industry creates for us than the contrast between their coverage of the London bombings and their non coverage of the 30 people, mostly women, who were burned to death by a gang in the Democratic Republic of Congo? These people were “were forced into their huts and their homes were then set ablaze!” Where is the media? Where is the acknowledgement of realty? Where is the information that puts our reality into perspective? Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.

WAR : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#war

· WE BROKE IT, WE OWN IT ?!!! - While Europeans were still living in caves, Iraq represented the very earliest urban and literate culture in the world; a multi-cultural mosaic with many languages, variety and sophistication. These are the people who invented writing and produced amazing advances in astronomy, mathmatics and legal theory; the very foundation of our own perceptions today. - The neocons didn't have an Iraq "exit strategy" because they never intended to leave but they did have a plan. A significant factor within this plan was well presented by Naomi Klein's article "The Rise of Disaster Capitalism" ("The Nation").

· Iraq Shiites in campaign for foreign troop pullout - "We started this morning and so far we have had a good response, not only from Shiites -- Sunnis and Christians have also been coming to our office to show their support," said Ibrahim al-Jaberi, an official in Sadr's movement.

· 39,000 Iraqis killed in fighting, new study finds - The public database Iraqi Body Count, by comparison, estimates that between 22,787 and 25,814 Iraqi civilians have died since the March 2003 invasion, based on reports from at least two media sources. - The total number of direct victims of such weapons likely totaled 80,000 to 108,000 during 2003, for example, compared to earlier estimates by other researchers of 27,000 to 51,000 deaths from small arms that year.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· The real Rove scandal - That clearly was the intent of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove in leaking to a reporter that former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV's wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent. To try to conceal the fact that the president had lied to the American public about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program, Rove attempted to destroy the credibility of two national security veterans and send an intimidating message to any other government officials preparing to publicly tell the truth.

· If a Mob Boss Says to a Hit Man, "Kill Jim Smith's Wife," Can He Claim He Didn't Order the Murder Because He Didn't Mention Her Name? Apparently, That's Karl Rove's Thinking. - It is so monstrously treasonous -- such a big lie and betrayal -- that it is hard to believe.

· The Dangerous Comfort of Secrecy - The Bush administration is classifying the documents to be kept from public scrutiny at the rate of 125 a minute. The move toward greater secrecy has nearly doubled the number of documents annually hidden from public view - to well more than 15 million last year, nearly twice the number classified in 2001 - as bureaucrats have invented more amorphous categories like "sensitive security information." At the same time, the declassification of documents required under the Freedom of Information Act has been choked down to a fraction of what it was a decade ago, leaving the government working behind an ever darker, ever denser screen.

· Why Bush Has to Fire Rove - This e-mail demonstrates that Rove committed a firing offense. He leaked national security information as part of a fierce campaign to undermine Wilson, who had criticized the White House on the war on Iraq.

· On Rove's Behalf, the White House Issued Denials, Which Have Now Fallen Apart - The White House is suddenly facing damaging evidence that it misled the public by insisting for two years that presidential adviser Karl Rove wasn't involved in leaking the identity of a female CIA officer.

· Pentagon confirms Iran-Contra figure in senior job - Robert Earl, who destroyed national security documents during the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal, is working as chief of staff to acting Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, the Pentagon said on Monday. - But congressional watchdog groups raised questions about the administration's decision to give such a senior job to a person with a record of tampering with the very kinds of classified national security documents he will now oversee. "That fact is that this is a very sensitive and critical job," said Mary Boyle, spokewoman for Common Cause. "While it is true that people can pay their debts to society ... this is a job that should be filled by someone who is beyond reproach."
TVNL Comment: Ad him to the list if Iran Contra criminals who found their way back to the scene of the crime under Bush.

· Rove's Leak Points to Bush Conspiracy - A key national security principle for dealing with top-secret information, such as the identity of undercover CIA officers, is strict compartmentalization, often called “the need to know” – which raises the question why George W. Bush’s chief political adviser Karl Rove would know anything about the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame.

· White House Won't Comment on Rove, Leak - For two years, the White House has insisted that presidential adviser Karl Rove had nothing to do with the leak of a CIA officer's identity. And President Bush said the leaker would be fired. - But Bush's spokesman wouldn't repeat any of those assertions Monday in the face of Rove's own lawyer saying his client spoke with at least one reporter about Valerie Plame's role at the CIA before she was identified in a newspaper column.

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· Bush said he 'preciates folks dyin' for the cause. - Are The Good Times Really Over For Good? - Where are the Christians? Where is the revulsion at Bush roaming freely on hallowed ground while belching out lies and deceit that have caused the slaughter of more than 100,000 Iraqi's, 1,942 coalition troops -- 1,752 of them American -- more than American 18,000 wounded or maimed; 10,000 striken with lifelong disease? (No figures are available for the number of Iraqi wounded or maimed ) Where is the raw horror that Christians should feel for a charlaton who boasts that he is on a mission from God -- a mission to rule over a world of hate and lies and fear and death and disease?

· Suicide attacks 'about strategy, not religion' - Suicide bombers are driven by strategic goals rather than religious fanaticism and the war in Iraq will lead to further terrorist attacks, according to a United States professor who has studied every suicide attack carried out over two decades.

· The Insanity Of It All - Over 100.000 innocent Iraqi children, women and men have been slaughtered and killed by the American, British and other coalition forces in Iraq, and hundreds of thousands more have been wounded, maimed and tortured. And yet the front pages of the corporate controlled T.V. and newspaper media talk only about the 49 innocent British citizens who have been killed by supposed "terrorists" Something is wrong with this picture.
