There's the Big Lie, and Then There's the Really Big Lie

By Curt Maynard

Al-Jazeerah, December 20, 2006

 

There’s the “Big Lie,” everyone has heard of it, you know the one, the one where Hitler allegedly advocated propagandizing a lie so huge, so preposterous, that nobody would believe it to be a lie – rather they would assume it to be true, based on the premise that nobody could possibly develop a lie so unlikely and ridiculously evident and expect anyone to believe it, therefore such a lie must be true.

Then there’s the really big lie, and that is that Hitler ever advocated foisting such an enormous and outrageous lie on anyone – he never did.

One recent example of the “Big Lie,” in action and foisted by the same people the big H accused of being so proficient with its use, is this canard that the two “kidnapped,” Israeli soldiers are to be transferred in some manner from Lebanon to Iran. There is without any doubt only one beneficiary of a war with Iran, and that’s Israel.

Israel and its supporters in the United States have been banging the drums of war against Iran for many years now, and they will do anything within their power to persuade moronic Americans that Iran represents a serious threat to the security of the United States. This is a lie; Israel is the problem, not Iran.

Take a moment, relax, and consider this. In the early 1980s various Lebanese factions, Christians, Muslims, and Druze mostly were frequently kidnapping one another and occasionally an American, Syrian or Israeli, in an effort to further whatever agenda it was they were trying to draw attention to.

Not once did any of them ever find it necessary to take their hostages outside Lebanon; in some cases they held on to them for years.[1] Why now then does Hezballah suddenly find it advantageous to do so? The reason of course is that Israel and its supporters in the United States [Read Mainstream Media] finds it advantageous to their cause – to draw the United States into a war against both Syria and Iran – leaving Israel safe to impose its will on the Middle East.

In this writer’s opinion, we are forced to accept the word of a pathological liar, the state of Israel. The truth is, Americans have absolutely no reason whatsoever to believe the government of Israel, it has lied to us in the past, it has been caught red handed in the past engaging in the “Big Lie,” it attacked an American ship in 1967 in an effort to make it look like the Egyptians did it, but were unsuccessful at sinking the U.S.S. Liberty, thus leaving witnesses around to expose them and their nefarious actions later.[2]

In the 1950s the Israeli’s attempted to bomb American assets in Cairo, once again in an effort to frame Egyptians, but one of the bombs exploded prematurely blowing the lid off Israel’s covert operation.[3]

In the end dear reader, the intelligent man disregards anything the mainstream media says – literally – the media as it is today is nothing more than the mouthpiece of Zionist Jewish Supremacism and its salient or access into your thoughts and those of your neighbors. If you are truly interested in the truth, start by turning off the television.

[1] Terry Anderson being one example.

[2] This didn’t stop Israel from pressuring the Johnson administration to stop the subsequent investigation – in 2003 the head of the investigative team, Captain Ward Boston, signed an affidavit stating that he was forced to wrap up the investigation concluding that the attempt to sink the USS Liberty was an accident, not an intentional act, despite the fact that he felt the Israeli’s intentionally attacked the Liberty, knowing it was an American ship.

[3] This incident is known as Operation Suzannah or the Lavon Affair, it isn’t a state secret, Israel has acknowledged its role and the Israeli Minister of Defense, Pinhas Lavon resigned as a result of the mission’s failure, which is just another way of saying he failed because he and Israel had been caught.
