Modern America: The Empire of Lies

August 20th, 2016

Awake Goy

The notion that the United States is the empire of lies would hardly be disputed by anyone who followed the events of the last decade. It’s a sad fact that today the absolute majority of Washington’s policies along with the foundation of the so-called “American democracy” are built upon blatant lies.

So is it any wonder that the so-called American “heroes” of the Rio Olympics: swimmers James Feigen, Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Benz and Jack Conger, provided false testimonies about them being robbed in a taxi on the way to the Olympic Village! It turns out now that nobody came as close as even attempting to rob them! Now these athletes may face charges of false accusations in Brazil, along with being accused of discrediting the sitting Brazilian President Dilma Vana Rousseff that as been the prime target of Washington’s meddling for a long while.

In all honesty, there is no need for being surprised, since those “heroes-swimmers” have been educated on Washington’s lies that are to be encountered in most any aspect of man’s life. The White House has been lying it way through various attempts to overthrow unwanted governments and politicians on the international stage, spreading disinformation through such CIA “benefactors” like George Soros.

After all, the whole world witnessed the former US Secretary of State Colin Powell that in all seriousness was displaying tubes with unknown substances on the UN Security Council, claiming that those were “convincing and incriminating” enough evidences against Iraq’s Saddam Hussein to launch a military intervention against the state he heads.

We do remember how the notorious American journalist, Pulitzer Prize Laureate Seymour Hersh caught the US authorities for its officially disseminated lies about how “terrorist number one” Osama bin Laden was actually killed.

He has also published the investigation piece under the title “Whose Sarin“, demonstrating that the US government and President Barack Obama personally deliberately lied when they claimed that the Syrian government had used sarin poison gas back in 2013. It’s been announced that Hersh was using information he had received from sources in the US intelligence community and the Pentagon. This evidence confirmed that both the White House statements and fraudulent propaganda unwound by it in the media, pursued the sole goal – to create a pretext for armed intervention in Syria and replace the government in Damascus with their henchmen, and thus take full control of the country.

Moreover, the American Thinker would note that:

Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton committed her second gaffe in as many days on the campaign trail Monday night, claiming that the US “did not lose a single person” in Libya during her time as secretary of state. To Hillary Clinton, the four male officials and warriors do not matter at all. They are at best an inconvenience. If they were alive, they would have to be dealt with, but because they are dead, they can be forgotten.

But honestly, what you could expect from the likes of Hillary Clinton if even the Washington Post wouldn’t hesitate to present a video filled with her lies and “shifting position” on lots and lots of issues, noting that this highlights will be familiar to anyone who follows politics. Her ideas on Bosnia, health care, Wall Street, NAFTA are ever-shifting, since she’s convinced that Americans are unable to memorize a couple of facts.

Accusing Hillary Clinton of blatant hypocrisy, the notorious alternative media source Counter Punch would use a hash tag #NeverHillary, while giving the recent Democrats’ champion the following evaluation: “She’s sleazy – a cheater and a liar”, noting that she wanted to set the minimum wage at the level of 12 dollars per hour, but since Bernie’s 15 dollars per hour was more popular, she claimed she wanted to introduce just the same wage. When pressed, she conceded she’d “like” 15 dollars per hour, but would not lift a finger to make it happen federally. Incredibly, she still does this.

The Baltimore Sun is not scare to accuse Clinton of the deliberate concealment of facts from the Congress and American people too, noting that the State Department’s inspector general released a report last week concluding that Hillary Clinton is a breathtakingly brazen and consistent liar. What’s infuriating about all of this is that it was not, in fact, news. Over a year ago, Hillary Clinton held a press conference at the United Nations with intent to put the whole controversy around her released emails to rest, yet, nearly every significant statement she made was a lie The Baltimore Sun would note that we have known it for a year now, that from the earliest days of this scandal Clinton was lying.

So what behavior one can expect from most American citizens, including those “heroes-swimmers”, when even highest level officials are lying blatantly, while displaying no fear whatsoever of being prosecuted. What’s even more striking is that those liars are being promoted and encouraged in the US political establishment, and they are being allowed to occupy the highest political positions in the state, as if we are being said: “In lies we trust here, it is our symbol and our flag, because we are the Empire of Lies!“
