<br>
Unusual tradition for a desert people.<br>
Crosswise with the detailed written instructions Islam provides.<br>
<br>
I think that Americans continue to support their governments<br>
because <br>
<br>
they continue to hope for "something for nothing"<br>
(a government that can create wealth out of thin air can <br>
give us anything we want if we stand in the right place and<br>
posture just so)<br>
<br>
they view the government as a sort of bureaucratic Robin Hood<br>
that will take stuff by force from evil rich capitalists and distribute
it to the<br>
poor in much the manner of the five loaves and 12 fishes.<br>
<br>
they expect the government to deliver them from evil<br>
<br>
they think that the government is there to be their servant to <br>
act upon their beck and call<br>
<br>
they enjoy the feeling of power they get when they<br>
are able to coerce the government to do what they want<br>
<br>
they consider it their patriotic duty to serve the government<br>
<br>
they consider the government to be the instrument of goodness in the<br>
world and want to be a part of the glorious task <br>

<p>September 27, 2013 </p>
<p align="left">Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh says
that the raid which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 is “one big lie” and
that “not one word” of the Obama administration’s narrative on what
happened is true.</p>
<div style="width: 390px;" class="wp-caption alignright"><img alt=""

</div>
<p align="left">In a wide-ranging interview <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2013/sep/27/seymour-hersh-obama-nsa-american-media">published
today by the Guardian</a>, Hersh savages the US media for failing to
challenge the White House on a whole host of issues, from NSA spying,
to drone attacks, to aggression against Syria.</p>
<p align="left">On the subject of the Navy Seal raid that supposedly
resulted in the death of the Al-Qaeda terror leader, Hersh remarked,
“Nothing’s been done about that story, it’s one big lie, not one word
of it is true.”</p>
<p align="left">Hersh added that the Obama administration habitually
lies but they continue to do so because the press allows them to get
away with it.</p>
<p align="left">“It’s pathetic, they are more than obsequious, they
are afraid to pick on this guy [Obama],” Hersh told the Guardian.</p>
<p align="left">The raid that supposedly led to Bin Laden’s death has
been shrouded in mystery for over two years. Speculation that the Obama
administration may have <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.infowars.com/10-facts-that-prove-the-bin-laden-fable-is-a-contrived-hoax/">embellished
or outright lied</a> about the true account of what happened has
persisted, mainly because the White House has refused to publicly
release images of Bin Laden’s body.</p>
<p align="left">Although the White House said the corpse was
immediately “buried at sea” in line with Islamic tradition, it quickly
emerged that <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/may/02/sea-burial-osama-bin-laden">this
was not standard practice</a>.</p>
<p align="left"><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/inside-sources-bin-ladens-corpse-has-been-on-ice-for-nearly-a-decade.html">Numerous
analysts</a> have claimed that Bin Laden had in fact been dead for
years and that the raid on his alleged compound in Pakistan was little
more than a stunt.</p>
<p align="left">Other questions also persist, such as why the
narrative and timeline of the raid has <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2300024/Osama-Bin-Laden-death-Third-Navy-SEAL-raid-unit-comes-forward-tell-story-terror-chiefs-death.html">changed
multiple times</a>, why the White House initially claimed that
“situation room” photos showed Obama watching the raid live when in
fact there was a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/al-qaeda/8493391/Osama-bin-Laden-dead-Blackout-during-raid-on-bin-Laden-compound.html">blackout
on the live feed</a>, and why <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-we-could-not-say-definitively-that-bin-laden-was-there.html">neighbors
in the immediate area</a> surrounding the compound said with absolute
certainty that they had never seen Bin Laden and that they knew of no
evidence whatsoever to suggest he lived there.</p>
<p align="left">During the rest of the Guardian interview, which is
well worth reading in its entirety, Hersh lambastes the corporate press
and particularly the New York Times, which he says spends “so much more
time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would.”</p>
<p align="left">Hersh’s solution is to shut down news networks like
NBC and ABC and fire 90% of mainstream editors, replacing them with
real journalists who are outsiders and not afraid to speak truth to
power.</p>
<p align="left">“The republic’s in trouble, we lie about everything,
lying has become the staple,” concluded Hersh.</p>
