We are experiencing a "crisis of mistrust"
We have been fed commissions throughout American history. Then we were told Iraq was involved in 9/11. Then there was the whole 9/11 commission and ommissions. Then we were told Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Then we watched the outing of Valerie Plame. Then we were told they were not torturing, when we were. Then we were told Jessica Lynch was a combat hero, and rescued in a hospital sting op. She later spoke out that none of that was true, but the story had little traction. Then we were told Pat Tillman, the football hero was now a combat hero, another fabricated story; the parents today continue to seek resolution. All are weary waiting for change. Now we have a story that has been presented like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!


So why in the fuck is it so strange that people are having a hard time believing anything that our governemnt tells us??????

We are in a crisis of mistrust, The United States and the rest of the world. Lies breed mistrust.

the the hatred spewed by RW media, a MSM that fails to do its job and the rest of the endless crap it's no wonder this country is in such an extreme mess. We were talking here today, there is so much BS and lies flying around today often one can not discern the truth from the lies, misinformation and disinformation. In short, it's a F'en mess.
