How truth slips down the memory hole
25 Jul 2007
In his latest article for the New Statesman, John Pilger applies to current events Orwell's description in '1984' of how the Ministry of Truth consigned embarrassing truth to a memory hole. He highlights the killing of a Palestinean cameraman by the Israelis as an example of how "we" are trained to look on the rest of the world as quite unlike ourselves: useful or expendable.

Why are we supporting the racist, apartheid Israeli regime, which is continuing the slaughter of the indigenous Palestinians?
Why? Because a large majority of the U.S. Congress has sold itself out to Israeli interests. This Congress is quite possibly, the most corrupt and inefficient Congress in the history of our nation. They constantly grovel at the feet of lobbies like AIPAC, begging for attention and money.
While Congress supplicates itself to Israel's needs, the needs of America take a back seat, only mentioned in focus group honed "sound bites" that convey the image that the Congress actually knows and cares about America, but the reality on the ground--as in the still devastated City of New Orleans--is that the current Congress kneels obediently (like a dog hoping for a treat) in front of its true Master, Israel, at the same time hiking up one of its rear legs to piss on its constituents.
Well said.. VERY well said. And it's all enough to make one cry-- then fight..
