EMBEDDED TRUTH
| Old war horse
Rummy has announced that reporters are to be "embedded"
in his military units when he goes in to beat up on the Iraqi people. The
reason for this is obvious and
has its basis in Poppa Bush's embarrassment in Iraqi war # 1.
CNN reporter, Peter Arnett, was right there in Baghdad when our planes bombed a baby-milk plant and he reported it. Poppa Bush tried to cover it up. Arnett was called a liar and other rychus ones attempted to discredit him. Later on it was shown that Arnett was correct. Arnett writes:
"Embedded" does not mean "in bed with," as we might think at first glance. Even though we've known that most media owners/publishers are in bed with the Bushies and have been for some time now. No, embedding is something even more ominous. The meaning of the term may be clear by describing how material is prepared by histology or pathology technicians who regularly "embed" biological material to harden it so that it may be thinly sliced. The first step is to remove most of the water and force an embedding agent, such as melted wax, into all the places the water was. Since bio-tissues are mostly water, this means that once the water is removed, the melted wax goes in to the spaces deserted by water. When allowed to harden, the wax holds everything together and isolates it. Just think of the reporters as the biomaterial, and the military as the wax. Each reporter is isolated from everything except the military unit it is embedded in. Each reporter will see and report only that which the military allow her/him to see and report.
Any American at any time may be arrested and held with no ability to contact even a lawyer, family or employer whether they are a reporter or not. In a battlefield, rules allow for the military to administer justice on the spot so any upstart foreign correspondent has little leverage either. The results will be that embarrassing events will be censored. Whatever weapons of mass destruction the Bushies need to find in Iraq they will certainly find and any "collateral damage" can be blamed on the Iraqis. In a wider sense, we all are embedded in the Bushie agenda. How many among us dares tempt the Ashcroft knock on the door if we really tell a poll-taker how we feel about Bush or his agenda? Patriots don't protest.
We must come to our senses in this country and understand the horrifying influence of Karl Rove on this administration. Rove started his political life with dirty tricks. Poppa Bush was attracted to him because of this and he's been in the Bushie camp ever since. Now he plots with the administration's hawks to prevent anything that might adversely affect Bush in 2004 by embedding reporters. A glance at his past shows that there are no limits to the depth he will descend to if it means getting his candidate elected. To get a strong flavor of Rove, check out this book: Boy Genius: Karl Rove, the Brains Behind the Remarkable Political Triumph of George W. Bush, by Lou Dubose, Jan Reid, Carl M. Cannon. The book cover is most revealing. Bush is pictured beside Rove and "Boy" is typed under the Bush picture with "Genius" under Rove's. The book gives the reader some insight on Rove as a master of dirty tricks. "[He] campaigned not just to win but to destroy his challengers." -- Amazon.com review The writers show the dedication of the Republicans and their penchant to use dirty tricks to win elections. They tell of the genius and the evil of the man, Karl Rove. The water of freedom is being sucked out of this country and the Bushie embedding wax already firms up around us. Truth, with no means of expression, will be the second casualty of their war. The first casualty was our Constitution. 2003-009

With
this embedding technique, the most secret administration the U.S.A. has
ever seen is about to extend that secrecy to the battlefield of a war.
A war that most people in the world do not want, by totally controlling
what is reported. And what if a reporter objects? Well the Bushies have
had that covered for some time now.
