Uncategorized betterbadnews no No NAOMI WOLF DANIEL ELLSBERG AND THE BIG LIE http://www.betterbadnews.com/2008/11/07/naomi-wolf-daniel-ellsberg-and-the-big-lie/ http://www.betterbadnews.com/2008/11/07/naomi-wolf-daniel-ellsberg-and-the-big-lie/#comments Fri, 07 Nov 2008 07:42:06 +0000 betterbadnews http://www.betterbadnews.com/2008/11/07/naomi-wolf-daniel-ellsberg-and-the-big-lie/ On October 13 2008 Naomi Wolf and Daniel Ellsberg seasoned the public discourse with a disturbing narrative about the shift to fascism and the end of democracy in the United States but with no mention of the Big Lie. Daniel Ellsberg went so far as to offer unsupported assertions that muslims attacked the United States on 9/11 and that Osama Bin Laden could do it again.  Wolf proclaimed her faith in god and Ellsberg invited the audience to imagine what would happen if a certain muslim leader were to launch another 9/11?  Another?

Daniel Ellsberg is an esteemed former intelligence analyst and RAND Corporation thinker who was trained in the  study of complex data sets and information. The data David Ray Griffin,  Peter Dale Scott, and Steven Jones have provided on this subject is ignored.
Ellsberg was an eyewitness to the Gulf of Tonkin false flag attacks blamed on North Vietnam in the 1960’s. If he thinks it is important to wake people up to how “another” attack might happen he could have said, “…think what will happen if the Pentagon decides to accommodate the administration with another Gulf of Tonkin”.

BetterBadNews examines the Big Lie, info ops and a recent discourse in Berkeley with Naomi Wolf and Daniel Ellsberg that Noam Chomsky would have enjoyed. File under: Left Gatekeepers - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Closing Down  an Open Society Except the Simple Math Of Falling Objects and the Big Lie.
