Lies Have Consequences.
We were lied into the Iraq War. Bruce Ratner is lying about Atlantic Yards. Lying is now the modus operundi for our so called power elite.
What is curious is that is seems to be easier to get a lie known then the truth. We, opposition to Atlantic Yards have always felt that 'if the people knew' they would be outraged at the massive public outlays, the eminent domain abuse that Ratner is palming off as a 'civic' project. Likewise, leading up to Iraq war, i was bewildered that people actually believed there were "WMD" and Saddam was another 'Hitler'. Why is it so many people are willing to accept a lie instead of the truth? Is it because MSM is an 'authority'? Have they always lied, but don't realize that the internet has made it easier to expose their lies?
Giuliani repeats the 'big lie' of 9-11. Why? Obviously this lie is profitable to vested interested not because the lie is valuable, but rather because the truth is damaging.Link:

TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Sunday, May 20, 2007
Sullivan contends, rightly, that Paul has been the best thing about the GOP's otherwise ideologically predictable TV debates so far -- mainly because Paul is the only one on stage who truly believes in individual liberty and actually believes everything he says.
It was Paul's exchange with Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday in South Carolina over the causes of 9/11 that enraged conservative pundits. Paul, who voted against the war in Iraq and wants troops brought home ASAP, merely said what any CIA agent or regular Time
magazine reader knows to be 96 percent true: The attacks of 9/11 were "blowback" from 50 years of America's vile interventionist foreign policy in the Middle East.
....
Giuliani's explanation for 9/11 was the familiar Father Bush fairy tale: Fundamentalist Islamist terrorists attacked us because they hate our freedoms, our wealth, our immoral culture and our failure to publicly stone Paris Hilton to death.
In part because of his tough, albeit childish, response, Giuliani was declared Tuesday night's big winner by many in the mainstream and conservative media. Paul was subsequently called a crackpot, a member of the left-wing "I hate America" crowd and a relic of 1930s isolationism.
And there you have it. A big bold faced lie. Giuliani couldn't possible think this is true...or could he? could it be that his vested interests in the lie are so great that he cannot see the truth?
