A couple of days ago the New York Times exposed a large propaganda operation run out of the Pentagon which targets the domestic media market. Normally that sort of thing is illegal in a democracy, and supposedly is illegal in the US. And in case a giant illegal domestic propaganda infrastructure wasn't fucked up enough, their pet propagandists are a bunch of war profiteers:

Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to the viewers, and sometimes not even to the networks themselves. But collectively, the men on the plane and several dozen other military analysts represent more than 150 military contractors either as lobbyists, senior executives, board members or consultants. The companies include defense heavyweights, but also scores of smaller companies, all part of a vast assemblage of contractors scrambling for hundreds of billions in military business generated by the administration’s war on terror. It is a furious competition, one in which inside information and easy access to senior officials are highly prized.

Strangely, since the New York Times published this a few days ago it has gone absolutely nowhere. No other major news outlet has taken it up or given it much more than a brief mention as far as I can tell. An illegal domestic propaganda operation run by the Pentagon and a bunch of war profiteers is not "front page" news. No political talk show has covered it as a subject of discussion that I have been able to find. It's quickly on its way down the memory hole.

What the fuck?

support the troops committing suicide

12,000 soldiers a year try to kill themselves. Too bad the VA got busted trying to cover it up.

stuff of life

holy warriors

I'm in your militaries killing your god.

Nuke England!

Fucking Brits have restarted their submarine-based nuclear weapons program. Can a US invasion be far behind?

the past and future

Iconic, and yet the 1989 uprising failed. By most accounts the unknown man in this video was captured, put on trial, and executed shortly afterwards.

shout out to all you .mil and .gov types

It seems those of you from .gov and .mil search disproportionately for three things I've mentioned here:

1) Britney Spears cunt. I guess the government has a strong interest in finding out what is up with Britney Spears' pussy. Is it shaved? Has she flashed it recently? I don't know and don't care, but you guys do.

2) Fuck the military. I used this phrase once in a post about the military arresting a soldier because her daughter was being abused and she had to go rescue her but they wouldn't give her leave so they tried to charge her with desertion. Pretty fucked up, but that's the military.

3) Terrorist porn. Don't ask me where I have mentioned terrorist porn, it's in there somewhere I guess. I don't really want to know why you guys are searching for terrorist porn, but if someone could make a porno of Britney Spears getting fucked by a terrorist it would be huge with you guys.
