Vanity Fair's 'Gaza Bombshell' or the machinations of the Matrix
The corporate scribblings from Washington to Jerusalem are in overdrive. Vanity Fair has done it again, we are being told. In its April 2008 edition, we read Condi Rice and George W. Bush have secretly plotted to destroy Hamas. [1]
After failing to anticipate Hamas’s victory over Fatah in the 2006 Palestinian election, the White House cooked up yet another scandalously covert and self-defeating Middle East debacle: part Iran-contra, part Bay of Pigs. With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, David Rose reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza and leaving Hamas stronger than ever.
"Duhh!," replies the dissident media scene. "We knew that all along. But nice of Vanity Fair to finally tell the truth. This goes to prove that not all is lost in corporate media." Well… that’s what the Matrix wants us to believe.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Given Vanity Fair's history, the title alone should have sent off flaming red signals for the discerning reader that disinformation lay straight ahead.
Thanks for posting - a very valuable blueprint for deciphering what the so-called "left" has to offer.
