FOOD FOR THOUGHT: If every subscriber to this mailing list donated $1 per week our minimum financial needs would be met. If we doubled the size of our list it would only take $0.50 per week. Being financed to this point would mean that TvNewsLIES could pay for it’s overhead and any money over this amount could go towards hiring reporters and expanding the new radio program. It would also allow TvNewsLIES could repay my original investment so that I can do things like pay the rent and buy food! Just something to think about. http://tvnewslies.org/html/an_urgent_message.html

NOTE: We have been having problems sending out our newsletter formatted in html. We are working to solve this problem.

TVNL Editor's Comments: Hey, all you idiots who think stopping the insurgency in Iraq will translate into a “victory” for the US…remember this…WE CREATED THE INSURGENCY!

How do you take credit for fixing a problem that you created? It’s incredible that the US is not receiving outright blame for every act of violence that is taking place in Iraq. Car bombs and suicide bombers are US imports into Iraq. So are IEDs for that matter. So is a new brand of torture. So is the use of chemical weapons. So are the new mass graves needed to bury all of the murdered civilians (murdered by US troops or by the US actions that places them in harms way by exposing them to civil war!) None of this started until the US invasion obliterated Iraq.

It amazes me that the family members of our fallen soldiers have not formed a lynch mob to collect all of the PNAC members of the Bush administration along with George Tenet. They should storm Congress for that matter as well! Their loved ones died over lies…nothing but lies! Is anyone stupid enough to still believe that our “freedom” was being threatened? Actually our freedom was being threatened, but it was not by the Iraqis, it was threatened by John Ashcroft and the members of Congress who signed the Anti-Constitution Act, better known as the Patriot Act!

Here is the deal…every violent death taking place in Iraq as result of military or insurgent related activity must be blamed on the US. The PNAC/Bush administration is responsible for all the mayhem and instability taking place right now as a result of the invasion. And I have news for you, everyone who supported this little venture are equally to blame. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

QUESTION: Have you forwarded this e-mail to anyone today? Consider doing so for you will be helping to inform the people of this nation about the vital issues that are hidden from them by our corporate media. Make this nation a better place, educate, inform and enlighten your fellow citizens!

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


• Hey Stupid, It’s Our Insurgency! - Here is the deal…every violent death taking place in Iraq as result of military or insurgent related activity must be blamed on the US. The PNAC/Bush administration is responsible for all the mayhem and instability taking place right now as a result of the invasion. And I have news for you, everyone who supported this little venture are equally to blame.

• What I Knew Before the Invasion - I, too, presumed the president was being truthful -- until a series of events undercut that confidence.

• Indian, guards kidnapped in Afghanistan - An Indian engineer has been kidnapped with two Afghan police guards and a driver in south-western Afghanistan.

• Three killed in attack on former Afghan warlord - Militants loyal to the hardline Taliban regime that was toppled in a US-led operation in late 2001 claimed responsibility for the roadside blast in southern Helmand province.

• TASK FORCE BAGHDAD SOLDIER KILLED - A Task Force Baghdad Soldier was killed by small-arms fire while on patrol north of Baghdad Nov. 20.

• II MEF MARINE KILLED BY IED - A Marine assigned to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), was killed in action when his vehicle was attacked with an improvised explosive device attack while conducting combat operations against the enemy in the vicinity of Hadithah, Nov. 19.

• TASK FORCE TIKRIT SOLDIERS KILLED IN IED ATTACKS - Five Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division were killed in action, and five were wounded, Nov. 19 in two separate improvised explosive device attacks on U.S. patrols in the vicinity of Bayji.

• SECOND SOLDIER DIES OF INJURIES IN DELIBERATE ATTACK - A second Task Force Band of Brothers’ Soldier died from injuries sustained in an attack Nov. 17.

• The Man Who Sold the War - Rendon is a man who fills a need that few people even know exists. Two months before al-Haideri took the lie-detector test, the Pentagon had secretly awarded him a $16 million contract to target Iraq and other adversaries with propaganda. One of the most powerful people in Washington, Rendon is a leader in the strategic field known as "perception management," manipulating information -- and, by extension, the news media -- to achieve the desired result. His firm, the Rendon Group, has made millions off government contracts since 1991, when it was hired by the CIA to help "create the conditions for the removal of Hussein from power." Working under this extraordinary transfer of secret authority, Rendon assembled a group of anti-Saddam militants, personally gave them their name -- the Iraqi National Congress -- and served as their media guru and "senior adviser" as they set out to engineer an uprising against Saddam. It was as if President John F.
Kennedy had outsourced the Bay of Pigs operation to the advertising and public-relations firm of J. Walter Thompson.

• Pentagon Intel Sources -- Iraq 'Out of Control' - Pentagon intelligence sources are reporting that the situation on the ground is "out of control." Reports of "bestial" treatment involving U.S. personnel, private mercenaries from at least 25 countries, and Iraqi government forces are flooding out of Iraq. The "bestial" treatment includes rape, torture, sodomizing of children, and the gratuitous murder of innocent civilians.

• Sunnis skeptical of U.S. detainee efforts - U.S. efforts to ensure humane treatment for detainees in Iraqi custody have done little to boost America's image among many Sunni Arabs, long resentful of what they see as U.S. favoritism to rival Shiites and Kurds.


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


• White House plays chicken with a war hero - THE WHITE House is so deluded, it actually believes it can turn a soaring hawk into a scrounging chicken.

• Break Up Cheney's Cabal - We don't yet know President Bush's relation to this shadowy group of decision-makers, who bypassed normal routes and made their own policy decisions in secret.

• Security adviser named as source in CIA scandal - THE mysterious source who gave America’s foremost journalist, Bob Woodward, a tip-off about the CIA agent at the centre of one of Washington’s biggest political storms was Stephen Hadley, the White House national security adviser, according to lawyers close to the investigation.

• Top-secret cronies - Bush has stacked his foreign advisory board with his Texas business pals, who stand to profit from access to CIA and military intelligence.

• NEW BROWNIES IN THE WINGS? - But in Washington, there’s always a long line of mediocrities waiting in the wings to serve their country. And President Bush seems to have a particular knack for nominating them.

• More on Al Qaeda -- the database - More on Al Qaeda -- the database. Shortly before his untimely death, former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook told the House of Commons that "Al Qaeda" is not really a terrorist group but a database of international mujaheddin and arms smugglers used by the CIA and Saudis to funnel guerrillas, arms, and money into Soviet-occupied Afghanistan.

• House votes to cut $700 mln in food stamps - The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Friday to cut $700 million from the food stamp program, despite objections from antihunger groups complaining that estimates show some 235,000 people would lose benefits.

• Protests hit Pacific Rim summit - Thousands of slogan-chanting protesters gathered outside the summit, shouting: "No to Bush, No to Apec. No to foreign rice imports."

• Furore over ex-marine's account of killing of civilians - For 20 months, former US marine Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey has claimed in numerous interviews that he and his platoon killed unarmed civilians during the invasion of Iraq.

• Loving our troops to death - Republicans think that the only way to support the troops is to let them die. That's what this debate is about tonight. If you love the troops, you should sit back, shut up, and watch George Bush and the Republican Congress send them to their deaths in a war that's already been lost.


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