10/26/05 Plamegate? Don't bet on it. Liberals (by this I mean journalists and other supposedly apolitical types) cannot contain their glee at the prospect of seeing the evil cabal that stole the Presidency from Al Gore and manipulated an ignorant mass of Americans to keep John Kerry from his rightful place, finally get its come-uppance. It is obvious, after all, that this demonic regime, which is not quite as bad as Hitler's (and nowhere near as good as Stalin's), was determined to destroy CIA "operative" Valerie Plame to work its revenge on Joseph P. Wilson for exposing their shameless lies in the run-up to the war in Iraq. (The problem is that Joseph P. Wilson committed more shameless deceptions than he uncovered. He disputed the Administration claim that Saddam Hussein's government had TRIED to obtain uranium from Niger by pointing out that his investigation had concluded that no such attempt had SUCCEEDED. He failed to point out that his investigation had uncovered evidence that could only lead to the conclusion that Saddam Hussein's government had TRIED to obtain uranium from Niger--which, as you may recall, was the conclusion reported by the Administration that Wilson was trying to disprove. That, my friends, is a convoluted deception.) (Equally troubling is the fact that Valerie Plame was not apparently under cover and apparently hadn't been for many years. That makes it hard to prosecute anyone for trying to "out" her.) (It is also difficult to find any evidence that there was a calculated attempt to "out" someone whom, in the first place, no one seems to have known was "under cover". The fact that Wilson let it be assumed that he had been sent at the behest of Vice President Dick Cheney was reason enough for the White House to let reporters know that, in fact, it was his CIA-employed wife, and no one from the administration, who hired a deceptive enemy of the Administration to conduct its investigation.) (Even more disturbing is the degree to which the CIA has in recent years been peopled with disloyal political hacks who would rather spend time leaking dubious objections to solid intelligence reports in the attempt to embarrass the United States of America. I wonder if there might not be some indictments of CIA operatives for crimes approaching or including treason.) It is also obvious that the Administration is about to be crippled by indictments that will mire it in scandal for the remainder of this lame-duck term. (Unless it isn't. But they sure hope it will be, and they'll read between the lines endlessly looking for a reason to believe this utopic fantasy just like they do to believe the rest of the utopic fantasy that is liberalism.) It is obvious that, with shows like "E-Ring" making the case that our current intelligence establishment is being used as a political tool by the Administration, and "Commander-in-Chief" trying to sell the country on the idea that Hillary Clinton can be a good president, we are about to see regime change in America. (Hah! These shows will appeal to the "true believers" who already want all that to happen, and make the rest of the people who care about reality to turn the channel rather than watch such poorly-written and poorly-researched drivel. The people who wrote tonight's episode of "E-Ring" know as much about intelligence and military people as Disney's writers knew about Hercules--and for those of you who don't know how far wrong that cartoon got it, that isn't much!) And finally, there's a new movie to prove once again that Sen. Joseph McCarthy was a worse human being than Stalin, and this ought to cinch the deal. (Who knows? The lies about McCarthy have a life of their own in this society, and no one in the mainstream seems to question them. But I know they are lies, and I know that the people he was fighting were shills for Stalin on one level or another--and let it not be forgotten that the icon of liberal journalism, I.F. Stone, was a paid Soviet agent. But what else is knew? Liberals are not intentionally disloyal, in my view, but they do have a bad habit of falling prey to the wiles of demagogic despots like Stalin, Castro, and Daniel Ortega.) Modified: 10/27/2005 |
