Blog entry: Pentagon Contractors Attacked Kerry
Found here:

I'm pretty ignorant about these things: is it proper netiquette for me to post an entry from another blog here like this?

Pentagon Contractors Attacked Kerry

In an in-depth investigation by Andrew Buncombe this weekend, a link was discovered between the Lincoln Group and the intense propaganda smear campaign that sunk John Kerry's bid for presidential election.

The Lincoln Group has come under intense public scrutiny for planting pro-government propaganda inside Iraqi newspapers recently. According to the article, "Lincoln Group also lists as a partner the Virginia-based private intelligence group WCV3 Security. Last year that company's executive vice-president took unpaid leave to produce Stolen Honour: Wounds That Never Heal, a film that, at a critical time in the presidential election campaign, condemned the Democrat John Kerry and questioned his version of events in Vietnam."
The Lincoln Group has strong Republican ties. It was handed $100 million dollars by the U.S. Defense Department for executing a propaganda campaign in Iraq despite the fact that it is run by a thirty year old businessman with zero P.R. or Intelligence experience.

It appears that cronyism runs through every tentacle of this New World Order government; from High Court nominees, to FEMA directors, Halliburton executives, all the way down to the propagandists who protect all these wonderful folks.

And for all that $100 million in taxpayer's money, we get headlines like, "Iraqis Insist on Living Despite Terrorism." You guys need some serious help - mental help.

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."

- Author unknown. Often attributed to Abraham Lincoln.

1. So now we know the real reason they got $100 million
for fake news that couldn't have cost a fraction of this. It's almost like our tax dollars paid for a base smear campaign. This truely sucks.

3. They HAD to take Kerry out before Pres. Kerry opened the BCCI books.

5. This is getting the smear campaign closer to the military where
I theorize that smear whisper campaigns against Democrats have been going on for years. This is intriguing that the SBVT is now loosely tied with the Pentagon. Wow. Thanks for posting.
