DE-NIE-AL

Howdy-doo MUFF Divers! Here is another installment of The MUFF Report, fresh off the press! Boy oh boy are there proverbial $h1# storms of insanity going on out there, or what? Tropical Storms, Ice Storms, Fire Storms.... First, let's see what's shaking in DC...

If you are tuned in to the cutting edge of progressive, political speech online, then you must have checked out ThinkProgress.org by now. If not, I highly recommend you do so, ASAP! Also, if you've been paying attention to the Iran NIE story, you know that the official White House position has repeatedly contradicted the facts, apparently intentionally obfuscating the issue. There is also proof the Powers That Be have been destroying evidence of institutionalized torture! What won't these power hungry bastards do to keep their leverage in effect against We The People? I only want peace and justice to reign over The Land of the Free, and only peaceful, gentle change will endure. It is my position that by making personal changes we change the world. Eat right, recycle, exercise, avoid drugs and alcohol in excess, vote.... Anyway, Think Progress had this to say ...

Since the Iran NIE was released, conservatives have desperately tried to discredit it. Former Vice President Cheney aide David Wurmser questioned “how much it can really be banked on.” John Bolton called for congressional investigations into the “politicized” intelligence community.

Some conservatives in Congress are following these calls, proposing a “second look” into the NIE in the form of a commission “based on similar review panels convened in the mid-1970s to reconsider the intelligence agencies’ analysis of the Soviet Union.” “We just see politics injected into this,” claimed Sen. John Ensign’s (R-NV) office.

These crazed chicken-hawks seem to distrust all sixteen US intelligence agencies' highly vetted report. Maybe there is some pressure from a certain bellicose regional player whose inability to peacefully coexist with their neighbors underlies an existential fear of annihilation. Playing on apocryphal mythologies of uneducated Americans, the truth is ignored in favor of illusions. Illusions of Armageddon, of a new heaven and earth unspoiled by our ignorance and waste, of noble ends served by horrific means. To illustrate this point, here is an article from AP courtesy Yahoo...

JERUSALEM - Israel's public security minister warned Saturday that a U.S. intelligence report that said Iran is no longer developing nuclear arms could lead to a regional war that would threaten the Jewish state.

In his remarks — Israel's harshest criticism yet of the U.S. report — Avi Dichter said the assessment also cast doubt on American intelligence in general, including information about Palestinian security forces' crackdown on militant groups. The Palestinian action is required as part of a U.S.-backed renewal of peace talks with Israel this month.

Dichter cautioned that a refusal to recognize Iran's intentions to build weapons of mass destruction could lead to armed conflict in the Middle East. Dichter didn't elaborate on the potential scenario but seemed to imply that a world that let its guard down regarding Iran would be more vulnerable to attack by the Islamic regime. Read more...

As always the message is so simple, a child could wet their pants. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Meshers OUT!!!!
