Maybe a guy who has an ancient star disk from germany as his avatar?

It's not that the government isn't lying, it's that you're making absolutely outrageous claims and then backing them up with excessive amounts of information with sketchy connections to the original topic. You don't know for sure that there were NEVER WMDs in Iraq, you don't know for sure that the Sarin gas attacks were carried out by the US, and the thing is neither of those two subjects relates to your original statement that we're being led away from
genuine news!
You have no idea what you are even talking about... you have completely misinterpreted these ideas and you do not even care. It only becomes a debate because you make so many outrageous claims that are just blatantly wrong or misinterpreted and then you change the subject or throw in more BS videos and half-truths and outright lies about different subjects instead of focusing on a single topic. There is just no way to debate you on these claims because the second I do you will change the topic to something else or accuse me of being a shill or something. And you do it for pages and pages until the whole thread is about you. You ARE pummeling people. Even if you think you are just spreading truth, you cannot deny that you are incapable of expressing succinct, focused points that demonstrate your opinion on a single topic... because if you did, it would be possible for people to pick apart each aspect of the narrative that holds your perspective together. But instead you throw out more and more and more until it is impossible to respond. And now you are accusing me of manipulating you! It is absolutely ridiculous.
I cannot disagree with any of this... I have already spent multiple posts trying to get you to focus on one point and respond to it, and so far you have not even approached a response. It IS my fault... but that is NOT what I am trying to say. I am trying to say that your tidal waves of information are impossible to respond to... and not because people are not informed enough, but because you post so MUCH of it that it is impossible for ANYONE to vertify EVERYTHING that you are saying. It is the same tactic that propagandists use... and if you want to find the truth then this is not the way to do it.
What are the issues here, exactly?
There are so many issues in this thread that it is impossible to respond to any of it.
That is, once again, my point.
And the ridicule was demonstrating my point... and it is exactly what you are doing by posting all of this stuff.
No, it is not about winning or losing... but if you are not willing to consider that you might not be using sound tactics to prove your points, then that suggests you are not interested in the truth or finding a fair and balanced perspective.
@muir , okay... you will have to give me a day or two to process this.
We don't know that there were WMD's?
Here listen carefully to your president (at that time) joke with some of the elite about not finding any weapons of mass destruction (apparently the deaths of over a million iraqis is a laughing matter):
He didn't find any, yes.
That is not the same as saying that they were never there.
And if he had said this (which he wouldn't), it still wouldn't prove that there were never any WMDs in Iraq.
You are, once again, misrepresenting statements... and I'm actually semi-defending Bush.
This has never happened to me before.
Hey! watched that video and it jumps around quite a bit. At 5 seconds, for instance, it skips. Also, the words do not always align with the lip movement, and the color of the video changes from beginning to end. Almost as if someone took bits and pieces of a video/soundtrack and edited them together to say something different. Almost like it was a hoax or something. (I do some video editing myself and I could've theoretically taken an hour or so of footage of that guy talking and chopped it up/clipped it together to make it say something different.)
And Mike Adams/ AKA The Health Ranger is profiled here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaturalNews
Just because someone posted a video of something on YouTube does not mean it adheres to standards of journalistic excellence. In fact, anyone with a camera and some minor video editing knowledge can post pretty much anything they want on YouTube. That does not add one iota of credibility as far as I'm concerned.
Also -- answer me this -- if those YouTube people were so accurate and dangerous and really onto something -- why are their videos allowed to remain up? If they were exposing something the government didn't want known, then surely the government could simply remove them? Or, better yet, target the people who are posting them?
(Remember the lady who had a YouTube account where she was advocating for ritual male castration? Yeah. See what I mean?)
The west knew what weapons iraq had because they sold them all their equipment
The USA supplied saddam with his chemical weapons. It supplied Iraq with weapons in its war with Iran
In the UK the government produced a document which was later revealed to be a student paper that claimed iraq could launch wmd's against europe in 45 minutes. This was the pretext for going to war
We had a government civil servant called Dr kelly who was an expert on biological weapons and he came out publically and said the government was lying and that Iraq could not strike europe. It was said then in the press that the government had 'sexed up' the document to try and make the iraqis sound more dangerous then they were
Blair and bush did not get permission from the UN to attack so they just illegally did it anyway
As for the whistleblower Dr Kelly, he was found dead in a wood near his family home. The coroners verdict was suicide but a group of doctors are currently challenging that claim having looked at the evidence
You are jumping through A LOT of history here. You don't need to mention that the US gave weapons to Iraq or created Al Quaeda or any of that... it's widely accepted that this is true, and none of it definitely means that there were no WMDs in Iraq OR that the US is a demonic entity hellbent on the destruction of mankind since its creation. It's impossible to say for sure that they were never there. It's not a good argument for a war, but it's not something that you can ever disprove... and in this, your conspiracy theories and Bush's WMD story have much in common. Both rely on paranoia, mistrust and suspicion... and both rely on questionable information.
#1, I don't want a war
#2, you tell me why a clip of a man standing there talking has to jump around like that one does. It is a man standing there talking. That should be reeeealy simple to film with no jumping around or color changes or places where the lip movement doesn't align with the audio.
#3 Fluoride kills people now? I thought there was evidence the people who died did so because of sarin gas.
But of course, I don't KNOW know with my own knowledge what they died of and neither do you. We both have to rely on news sources and I'm personally not going to rely on YouTube videos like the ones you just posted as proof of anything.
