Another example of shoddy propaganda.

::::::::

I have observed a plurality of examples of shoddy government propaganda. Some examples are the government claiming to have "captured" an "al Qa'eda" operative that it had claimed to have previously "captured" or even "killed" many months or years beforehand, or the government re-releasing video footage purportedly showing bin Laden, even though it had released that same video many months of years beforehand.

The latest example of this shoddy propaganda is the most recent video of "bin Laden." The latest video, purporting to be of Osama bin Laden, was released by IntelCenter, a known government-sponsored spook organization.

The above video is of the “new” tape. And if you go to MSNBC’s site, you can see a picture of a frame from the video.

This one comes from an IntelCenter report dated October 18, 2003, and can be found on page 15 of the PDF document at www.intelcenter.com/QRMT-v1-0.pdf

Old bin Laden still-frame from video

Did you see that? Let's look at a freeze-frame from the video:

The frame above comes from the "new" video. The photograph immediately above that one comes from a video released in 2003.

Somebody, please pray tell me, why is the government - through its think tank and media proxies - waging a war of such propaganda against us Americans, except for to create a pretext for its war on our civil liberties?
