Statistics Don't Lie, But Liars Use Statistics

Or, Substitute Pictures

Published on August 1, 2006 By Dr Guy In Current Events

We have all been treated to the daily horror of the Israelis as they kill those innocent civilians and gun down defenseless Palestinians. Who has not seen these pictures? And 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, that would have been the end of the story. Burn the Heathens! Baby Killers! How barbaric!

But as the old saying goes, "statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics". In today's world, thanks to the blogosphere, we should now update it to say "Pictures don't lie, but liars use Pictures". In this case I am talking about what passes (laughingly) for the Mainstream Media. For in the movie above, and the links below, you can see not only how wounds are faked, but so are death totals. And our grand and glorious MSM swallows the lies and perpetuates them. In the guise of "reporting" the news.

When in actual fact, they are not reporting news, they are reporting propaganda by their handlers. Those they pay to make it look much worse or even to look bad when there is no there there. (no Story).

It is disgusting, but not surprising that the 4th estate has become nothing more than a mouth piece for the enemies of America and its Allies. Gone are the days when they actually sought the truth. Now they make it up (Rathergate) or just allow their handlers to spoon feed it to them so they can disgorge it upon an unsuspecting populace.

But the difference between 30, 20 or 10 years ago and today is the blogosphere. And it has a nasty habit of exposing their sloth, incompetence, and downright lies. And they hate it for that very reason.

There are no more Ernie Pyles, or Edward R. Murrows. Instead, today, we have frick and frack, the clown twins. And pictures are not worth a single word. At least not the ones the MSM tries to pass off as news.

Read and laugh. No point in getting angry. They are too incompetent to realize their own stupidity and arrogance. But at least the public can get the truth now. Through unedited photos and videos and time stamped ones.

Caution. The WMV link is 38 megs, so either have highspeed internet, or just click on the other 2.

I saw the day of the Qana attack that the victims were "mostly" women and children. Then yesterday I saw that they were mostly children. I figure by the end of the conflict the average victim will be a handicapped orphan who spent their days making paper flowers to sell to raise money for the brave Hezbollah resistance.

Do we really have the right to expect that "media" would seek the truth here? Considering that they have partnered up with Hezbollah, had Hezbollah heros lead them on tours of the areas where their brave brethren and their families are living and being attacked by the great satan and it's ally Israel, I don't expect any thing near the truth to come out of any of the so called main stream media.

Thankfully some of the press in Australia and elsewhere was kind enough to show us what a typical troop of Hezbollah freedom fighters (or whatever label that they wish to use) looks like -- amazingly like a bunch of civilians that just so happened to be riding on a tank or perched on a piece of heavy artillery, and even then just for long enough to fire off their shots and then crawl back into the woodwork and work their way into the masses so they can claim to be nothing but innocent victims rather than actual combatants.

I've said before I'm not a fan of genocide, but if it took wiping Syria, Iran and Lebanon off the map to bring peace to the middle east, it may not be such a bad thing.

Thankfully for the doves here in the U.S.A., Israel very well may accomplish those feats for us, and we'll be able to sit back and enjoy the benefits all while those same doves get to condemn Israel for trying to protect their own right to exist. Sick puppies.

Then there is the case of the Israeli kids in the northern Israel border town of Kiryat Shmona, supposedly writing nasty messages on missiles destined for Lebanon. The pictures circulated the Western Media for a few days until they were determined to have been faked.

An Israeli blogger hunted down the real story and exposed that it was the western media photographers that had staged the pictures.

An excerpt from what she uncovered:

"kids were in
bomb shelters for days. city is a ghost town.

only poor people stayed

a new army unit arrived, kids were bored, went out with
parents to look

there were TWELVE photographers there

and they egged the kids on

the kids are low class, not educated, have never met a
Lebanese, just want to live their lives, don't understand why Lebanon
attacked their home, etc.

the photographers told them "hey, your cousins in america
will see you!"

mostly foreign photographers

so the kids, who were bored and restless and had been cooped
up in bomb shelters for 5 days, took the felt markers and drew messages to
nasrallah

there were no cries of hatred toward lebanese

and a big problem is that the israeli tv does not show dead
lebanese. it shows destroyed buildings, but not dead bodies. so no one has a face of the dead in their minds. too aware of our own suffering, etc.

make sense?"

Expect? No. But I would "expect" them to at least admit their shame when exposed. But like cockroaches, we cannot even "expect" that.

this is a rerun of when shimon peres was the Israelie Prime Minister, only the towns name has changed.

Hezbollah staged the same event, results? a Israelie withdrawel.

Could the same event happen twice? yes!! on T.V. they are called reruns

That is worse than mine. This dysentery amoeba is beneath Dan Rather. Or in other words, he could walk under a snakes belly standing up. What trash!

Edit - the Photogrpahers, not the exposer

Ah yes, the typical antics of our wonderfully mischievous retards. Isn't it so cute when they call themselves "reporters" and run around thinking up stuff they can pretend to report?

Cretins.

As far as what they're doing against Lebanon and the Palestinians, I say rock on Israel. It's about frickin' time.

However, this is not to say that they don't do the occasional atrocity. S' war, Shit happens. But it would be nice if some pictures would float around from when they shot the hell out of the U.S.S. Liberty. That one still pisses me off occasionally.

It would be nice if the pictures were accurate. I cant hope for more. After all, it is the MSM.
