They have failed America with their propaganda and lies.
That's why there are no Memory Holes today.
As I scan and skim my filed posts, I see the SAME LIES repeated one year later as I did a year ago.
It's like a brick to the face, readers, and I have never been so despondent in my whole life.
AmeriKa's MSM -- that which I believed and counted on for so long -- has been selling me, you and the rest of the world nothing but lies.
There is not one institution or wisdom that ever told me the truth, in my whole existence on this planet.
Until the blogosphere, that is!
"Taliban movement gives two-day deadline to govt" by Mushtaq Yusufzai
PESHAWAR: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) (Taliban movement), a conglomerate of all militant groups operating in Fata and settled districts of NWFP, Wednesday gave a two-day deadline to the government to stop military operations in Swat and rest of the tribal areas, else it would re-launch attacks on security forces and government installations.
And in South Waziristan Agency's Ladha subdivision, a tribal jirga succeeded in putting an end to the 2-day clashes between militants and paramilitary forces that erupted with the abduction of four FC soldiers Tuesday.
Maulvi Omar, a spokesman for TTP and Commander Baitullah Mahsud, called The News from an undisclosed location and said the decision to give a deadline to the government was taken in their Shura meeting.
He said senior militant commanders from all the seven tribal agencies, Frontier Regions (FRs) and settled districts of NWFP attended the meeting. Omar said all of them were unanimous on giving the two-day deadline to the government to stop military operations in Swat, North Waziristan and rest of the tribal regions and release all the detained militants.
The deadline started Wednesday and would expire today (Thursday), he explained. "We would definitely launch attacks on security forces and other government installations if our demands are not accepted before the deadline," remarked the militants' spokesman.
When asked about extension of a ceasefire announced by militants in North Waziristan Agency till January 20 to facilitate a tribal jirga negotiate between them and the government to restore peace, Maulvi Omar said: "This issue was thoroughly discussed in the Shura meeting. We are in contact with senior commanders of militants in North Waziristan who assured us of their full cooperation in case of any resistance against the government," he claimed.
Omar said after merging their groups in Tehreek-e-Taliban, all militant commanders have agreed not to hold talks or sign peace accord with the government on their own. He said all the militant groups would take the TTP Shura into confidence prior to any talks or signing peace agreement with the government.
Baitullah Mahsud is the Amir (central leader) of the movement, Maulana Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is militants' head in North Waziristan, senior Naib Amir and Maulana Faqir Muhammad, militants' commander in Bajaur, as the Naib Amir.
In his televised speech to the nation Wednesday evening, President Gen (R) Pervez Musharraf personally mentioned Baitullah Mahsud and Maulana Fazlullah and blamed them for masterminding the suicide attack on Benazir Bhutto in Rawalpindi.
Baitullah has however already defended his position and denied his hand in the assassination while Fazlullah, who had not been accused earlier by the government, is yet to clarify his position.
Meanwhile, following heavy clashes between the paramilitary Frontier Corps and militants in Ladha subdivision, a tribal jirga has initiated efforts for restoration of peace and ceasefire between the two sides.
A pro-MMA senator from South Waziristan, Maulana Selah Shah told The News that they started efforts to stop the fighting. He said the jirga would sit with both the sides to listen to their viewpoints. There were unconfirmed reports that 20 people were killed in the latest spate of fighting between militants and security forces but officials termed it baseless."
I just read that report, and WOW!!!!
That's WAY BETTER than the Zionist propaganda I usually find on my doorstep!
They give me this instead:
"Pakistani Refugees Head for Afghanistan" by Pauline Jelinek Associated Press January 2, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Several hundred Pakistani families have fled to neighboring Afghanistan in recent days to escape the turmoil in their country, officials said Wednesday.
And the Pakistani military has removed a small number of troops from a border post between the two nations to tend to problems elsewhere, said Col. Martin Schweitzer, a U.S. commander in eastern Afghanistan.
Schweitzer told Pentagon reporters in a joint video press conference from Afghanistan with Arsallah Jamal, the governor of Khost province:
"Clearly, we're very interested with what's going on over there — we're watching it pretty closely. We have not see a significant threat emerging."
He said that so far, commanders haven't seen any significant rise in cross-border activity in his area bordering the lawless tribal region of northwest Pakistan, though 300 or 400 refugee families have crossed into Afghanistan.
Jamal said the refugees are being housed with Afghan families who were once refugees in Pakistan:
"We have received in the last two weeks or last 10 days a number of Pakistani refugees. [They were] escaping the war [between the Pakistani military and Taliban and al-Qaida fighters hiding in northwest Pakistan]."
Pakistan, particularly its northwest, has been wracked by Islamic militant violence, with bombings targeting the military or top officials, and clashes between security forces and pro-Taliban fighters.Violence also has increased in Pakistan over months of political upheaval.
Schweitzer said the Pakistani military reduced troops at one border post by a small number, leaving only a small formation there, but they are still conducting their duties. Because of increased cooperation between coalition forces in Afghanistan and the Pakistan military, their operations are more effective along the border, he said.
Attacks have declined by 42 percent since summer in the east of the country and by 70 percent in Khost province as more Afghans side with the government and stop giving sanctuary to militants, he said."
Yeah, but the violence is up!
I'm tired of the U.S. military and it's lies, readers!
"Now let me get this straight: several hundred Pakistani families have been so rattled by the violence in Northwest Pakistan they feel the safest place they can be right now is.......AFGHANISTAN?????" -- Mike Rivero of What Really Happened
