Kim Jong-il is DEAD, North Korea Puts Out Another FAKE PHOTOGRAPH

Kim Jong-il IS DEAD...if I am wrong, I hereby challenge North Korea to prove me wrong by letting me, or some other member of the press to PERSONALLY interview the leader. In yet another feeble attempt to show the world that Uncle Kim is alive and well and still doing Elvis impressions, they have put out another photograph of him at an Army Art Festival. Now, I am no SUPER PHOTOGRAPHER, but this photograph IS FAKE. First I'll post the article from News Daily with the picture.

North Korea reports Kim attending army art festival


Posted 2008/11/15 at 6:08 pm EST



LONDON, Nov. 15, 2008 (Reuters) — North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, who has been the subject of reports of poor health outside his reclusive country, attended an art festival given by soldiers, the state-controlled news agency KCNA said on Saturday., 2008. REUTERS/KCNA .



I would ask you to look at the picture closely, specifically the left elbow, actually just above and behind the left elbow...let me demonstrate... Below are a cropped and slightly blown up version of the Reuter's picture, then a close up crop and enlargement of the ELBOW area...notice anything VERY ODD? NAILED...North Korea, this lone blogger with no help from experts just ripped shreads in your propaganda, INSTANTLY SPOTTED the fact that this is a FAKE PHOTOGRAPH showing Kim at an event HE NEVER ATTENDED because HE IS DEAD!

Chicken Hawk John McCain Declares War On You Tube!

Mr. Uncomfortable!
We all know that John McCain is no dove. He is the man that wants to take us to war in Iran, the man who wants to leave our troops in Iraq for 100 years. Apparently, he could not wait to get to the White House to declare war on somebody, anybody as he has JUST GONE TO WAR WITH YOU TUBE! Seems he has his wife's panties in a knot over the fact that some of his You Tube propaganda (commercials) have been removed at the request of some news agencies...seems John McCain has been usurping their copyrights, but then he has been doing that with musicians on the Campaign trail for quite some time now. His first volley into the You Tubes camp was a scathing letter to Chad Hurley, chief executive of You Tube. My advice to Chad...have your attornies write John a nice letter offering to look into the issue right after the election...sort of a Todd and Sarah Palin Troopergate approach if you know what I mean.



McCain Fights for Right to Remix on YouTube




Internet issues have taken a back seat in the presidential campaign. But this week, even as John McCain unveiled his new economic plan, he also introduced a new position on copyright law.


Trevor Potter, the general counsel for the McCain-Palin campaign, sent a letter on Monday to Chad Hurley, the chief executive of YouTube, complaining that the video service, now owned by Google, has inappropriately removed McCain commercials from its site.


The commercials incorporated snippets of television news broadcasts. Using provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the news organizations demanded that the commercials be removed from YouTube because they violated the organizations’ copyrights. Full Article

Americans...Take Back The Media, Stop The Propaganda

Today is a sad day in American history, and there is plenty of blame to go around. That being said, a BIG PART of the blame needs to be firmly placed on the National Media who acts like the mouth piece fo Washington DC, and Corporate America. I would encourage ALL OF YOU to write your news media, tell them that you are tired of them reporting the news that Washington DC and Corporate America want us to here. Tell them to stop bringing on pundits who try to tell us WHAT WE SHOULD THINK. Demand that our National Media gets back to reporting the news devoid of spin, devoid of bigger agendas. We want the straight talk, regardless of who might or might not take out ad space depending on what you say, or do not say. Below is an extensive list of PRESS CONTACTS...I encourage EVERY AMERICAN to use them. The time has come for Main Street to speak out.

Beth Malek Defends Foundation For Defense of Democracies...WONDER WHY

Last night I posted up a small article on the disturbing organization Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and today I got a message on the post from a true RED BLOODED George Bush, Newt Gingrich Foot Soldier in one Beth Malex.

Saving the Surge To Save McCain Presidential Hopes...Foundation for Defense of Democracies

Beth Malek said...

I went to FDD web site. They have an excellent array of resources in terms of informaiton about the Middle East and Democracy, Terrorism research center and Future of Terrorism Project. They are in the media often. They deal with issues way above and beyond the current Presidential election. I don't understand the article that mentions FDD. I understand what FDD's message is..much wider then the very narrow analysis of this article.

Why would someone bother to contact me on that article, to throw me off track without a reason? Was Beth just trying to save me time, let me know I was chasing down an empty badger hole, or did she have and AGENDA, was she ONE OF THEM? A bit of a internet search leads me to believe SHE IS ONE OF THEM!

Saving the Surge To Save McCain Presidential Hopes...Foundation for Defense of Democracies

Date Line 2007…Prospects for Republicans are slim, and the only real chance of putting a president in the White House (McCain) is to change the average Americans view of the war, convince them that we are winning, that the SURGE is working, even if it is not.

MoveOn.org winning the airwaves with their truthful, but hurtful General Betrayus campaign has the Republicans seething mad, and desperate to flip public perceptions needs a major Propaganda Campaign, its goals simple, but perhaps impossible to attain:

• call attention to the surge’s remarkable progress; even if it was not true.


• underscore the necessity of giving our forces the support, resources, and independence to achieve their mission; even though said mission wasn’t and still is not clear.


• remind Congress and the American public of the dire consequences a hasty retreat from Iraq would mean to national security and world peace. In other words, scare the hell out of them, use fear as a way to control and manipulate public perceptions and sentiments towards a wrong sighted war.

Basically, to have any chance of keeping the White House meant changing the publics perceptions about the war in Irag, what was needed was a Propaganda Campaign to make the war popular again. Enter the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and their General Betrayus Mission project, specifically designed to thwart MoveOn.ORG, designed to fool the public, congress, with the hopes of returning John McCain to the White House.

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies leapt into action on July 9th of 2007, launching the Iraq Project coalition in partnership with a carefully chosen partnership of veterans organizations, families that had lost loved ones but were supportive of the war effort, pro-mission organizations, and their own formidable line up of propagandist (presented on various news networks as noted military and foreign policy scholars) who are all conveniently in house members of “The Foundation for Defense of Democracies”.

Sure many of my readers think I am a bit OFF BASED here, or have perhaps drank too many glasses of Merlot this evening, but tell me how many members of the cast of characters you recognize from VARIOUS American News channels on various channels:
