of course 'our' government never lies to us and if we say iran attacks us, of course that would be the case, and the gulf of tonkin was really what the 'news' said it was because we have a free press and all of those who say it was a hoax are doing drugs, and we bring democracy everywhere we go, ...........
Often, the American mainstream media becomes a de facto government employee, taking the claims of U.S. officials and reporting them as proven fact — and nothing exemplifies this penchant better than reporting on the Gulf of Tonkin incident — perhaps one of most flagrant lies ever dreamed up as a justification for war.
On August 5, 1964, the New York Times reported “President Johnson has ordered retaliatory action against gunboats and ‘certain supporting facilities in North Vietnam’ after renewed attacks against American destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin.” Additional outlets, such as the Washington Post, echoed this claim.
But it wasn’t true. At all. In fact, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, as it became known, turned out to be a fictitious creation courtesy of the government to escalate war in Vietnam — leading to the deaths of tens of thousands of U.S. troops and millions of Vietnamese, fomenting the largest anti-war movement in American history, and tarnishing the reputation of a nation once considered at least somewhat noble in the eyes of the world.
In 2010, more than 1,100 transcripts from the Vietnam era were released, proving Congress and officials raised serious doubts about the information fed to them by the Pentagon and White House. But while this internal grumbling took place, mainstream media dutifully reported official statements as if the veracity of the information couldn’t be disputed.

the rest of this surprising info is at the link, and i suspect you may be surprised, as i was;
Throughout history, when it came down to
international struggle, opposing sides would always seek for means to
gain an advantage over the enemy. On top of improving combat readiness and tactics, there has been a countless amount of instances when states tried to drug
their troops for them to prevail on the field of battle. Throughout
centuries, soldiers were sent in battle intoxicated by all sorts of
herbs and more conventional mind-altering substances, with various
degrees of success.
How can one forget a small unnamed
Breton village of indomitable Gauls, that managed to survive in the
world dominated by the Roman empire due to a secret magical position
that made its inhabitants undefeatable. Of course, we’re speaking about
the famous French comic-book series Asterix. The main theme of this
franchise was a secret poison brewed by an old druid that was making
Asterix’s Gauls both invincible and irresistible.
It’s hardly a secret that any work of
fiction usually has some background story to fuel the imagination of a
creative mind. And Asterix is no exception, as opium derived from
poppies was a very important substance to ancient Greeks. In one of the
first and most influential poems in the history of mankind – Homer’s Odyssey we find customs
of the past, like soldiers drinking wine mixed with opium after battles
to calm their nerves and help themselves forget the horrors of war.
Further still, the mighty vikings that
were raiding England’s coastal regions for centuries were known for
using so-called magic mushrooms to enhance their performance in battle,
the Amanita muscaria that is more commonly known as fly amanita. A famed
Norwegian botanist Frederik Schübeler suggested that the vikings drank
wine made from the mushrooms.
It’s curious that Napoleon’s legions that were believed to be unbeatable for the longest time were know for their heavy hashish use and alcohol abuse.
During the WWII
Japan’s kamikaze pilots that were feared by the allied navy used
methamphetamin that was first synthesized in 1893 by a Japanese
scientist from the Ephedra sinica plant. The Nazis were also known for
their heavy amphetamine abuse. However, they were not alone.
American troops would
use amphetamines both during the Second World War and Vietnam
catastrophy. According to the testimony of one of the survivors of these
conflicts, drugs were distributed among the troops like candies. They
were used to ensure that soldiers didn’t get combat fatigue, to make
them feel wired, alert, invulnerable, and incredibly aggressive. They
also needed less food and less sleep while they were high on
amphetamines.

two pcr articles in one day, with the second pasted here in its entirety. this russians did it stuff is beyond the ability of satire to create;
On July 21, I posted on my website a report on the discovery by John Solomon of The Hill magazine that Lisa Page testified to a congressional committee to the effect that the Russiagate probe conducted by Robert Mueller is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal use of counterintelligence capabilities to spy on Trump’s presidential campaign and then to sabotage Trump’s presidency. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/07/21/bombshell-development-lisa-page-reveals-plot-against-trump/
The evidence is overwhelming that CIA director John Brennan, FBI director James Comey, Robert Mueller, James Clapper, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and the Democratic National Committee are engaged in high treason against the American people and the President of the United States and are actively engaged in a plot to overthrow the President of the United States. Yet, the traitorous intelligence officials retain their high security clearances and have not been indicted, arrested, and put on trial for high treason. Rosenstein and Mueller haven’t even been fired from their high positions where they continue to operate in behalf of the overthrow plot.
It shows the untouchable power of the military/security complex when its operatives are so far beyond the reach of law and accountability that they can commit high treason with no consequences to themselves.
The US presstitute media works full time to protect these traitors, because the presstitutes hate Donald Trump and the Americans who elected him much more than they love the US Constitution and the rule of law. This makes the presstitutes accomplices to high treason and subject to arrest and prosecution.
Even those who understand what is going on and are willing to speak against it, such as former CIA official Ray McGovern http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49903.htm and Senator Rand Paul speak in muted terms. Senator Paul wants their security clearances withdrawn because they are monetizing them in their roles of well-paid talking heads in the presstitute media and may reveal classified information on the programs.
There is no evidence that Trump is a Russian agent. There is enormous evidence that the above CIA, FBI, DOJ, and national security officials are engaged in treason against the United States.
Yet, we hear only about the fake case that Trump is a Russian agent. We hear nothing about the CIA/FBI/DOJ plot against the president of the United States that is unfolding before our eyes in plain sight of even insouciant Americans.
We also don’t hear anything about this: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49898.htm

pcr never fails to hit the nails on their heads. the rest of this is at the link below;
If America had more honest, fact-based journalists with integrity like Tucker Carlson, we would not be, as we are today, dissolving as a country.
In this one TV broadcast— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGlj2T1tITg–Carlson shows that the Democrats have gone far beyond “lying through their teeth political partisanship” into deranged hatred of President Trump and the American people who elected him.
The Democrats’ insane hatred of “Trump deplorables” has firmly allied the Democrats with the corrupt military/security complex in a plot to overthrow the elected President of the United States. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/07/26/cia-fbi-doj-plot-to-overthrow-the-president-of-the-united-states/
Carlson presents the former heads of US intelligence in the corrupt Obama regime accusing President Trump of treason against the United States for trying to normalize relations with Russia and endangering the United States for trying to make peace.
