Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned; Media Roast Brings Hysterical Laughter While Iraq Burns

A lot of Washington bigwigs need glasses! They don’t even see what’s going on. Hysterical laughter erupted at the Saturday night media roast when Laura Bush celebrated the media get together by cracking jokes about George going to bed at 9.

Laura Bush explained in effect that was why she and Lynne Cheney had to watch Desperate Housewives between trips to Chippendale, where men prance about nearly nude, with Mrs. Cheney and Condoleezza Rice. She even mentioned the most famous weed cutter of them all, Bush on Crawford ranch detail, and glibly mentioned the all-time worst U.S. movie horror epic, Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Now the question must be asked: Has the White House resident gotten any counsel about raising Laura’s entertainment standards? The very weekend while the media bigwigs were launching into uproarious laugher over some of the truly tasteless humor, did it for one sober second dawn on any of them that U.S. service personnel were dying that very day in Iraq?

Saturday April 30 might be another day that can live in infamy. The April 30 edition of the Miami Herald published a datelined story from Baghdad. Thomas Wagner reported, “Attacks that included 17 bomb blasts in and near Baghdad on Friday killed at least 50 people, including 3 U.S. soldiers.”

The report revealed these attacks were coordinated and that 114 Iraqis were wounded in the process. The article, continued, “Many of the bombing targets were members of the Iraqi military and police whom insurgents accuse of collaborating with Americans.”

How ironic that the very same members of the media who laughed heartily at Laura Bush’s jokes had hastily used the unsubstantiated report of George Bush, “Weapons of Mass Destruction are a threat to the security of every American!” Without this media blitz based on lies the horrifying Iraq War might never have gotten off the ground.

On the very day certain members of the Washington elite were carrying on as if they had achieved wonders, Iraq was counting its war dead in the continuing almost daily death toll. The housewives of Iraq do not have the luxury of watching Desperate Housewives. They are occupied mourning the tragic deaths of their husbands and children created by the Iraqi War debacle based on media fiction orchestrated by the White House.

  • Bush is still a drunk obviously, he passes out every evening, and that might be a joke to Laura the air head, but it is no laughing matter having a stumble down drunk’s finger on the NUKULAR button.

  • It’s just ALL so wrong. They are screwing the average American (seen the tax cuts for the upper crust and companies?, while medicare and such have money taken from them?) and not even bothering with vaseline. Killing a generation in body (thousands of lives taken over a lie and families destroyed over a lie, while their friends make a nice profit) and spirit (what do these kids really have to hope for? Industry is going abroad with tax cuts from OUR government, spending on vocational training and grants was slashed, social security money has been stolen, education spending on the whole has been cut, hospitals are going banko, competing with illegals for the same jobs and they don’t get the benefit of health care like the illegal, etc, etc, etc). And they tell stupid jokes and mug it up for the cameras and the press laps it all up.

    It’s just ALL so wrong!

    • Unrelated, but yet related. Like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle they are all coming together and not just here but the world is suffering from all of the same deceptions in it’s media reps and government reps. There are very few good men and women in power trying to do the right thing and fight this powerful enemy, they are being beaten down, osticrised, suicided, and accidented out. One example of the stealth movement as follows:

      October 2002 President George Bush, Commits American Children to UNESCO’s,

      "World Core Curriculum"

      One of the little-noticed and little-reported items in President George W. Bush’s speech to the United Nations General Assembly during the week of September 8-14, 2002 was the U.S. pledge to rejoin UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

      In his speech, President Bush declared that;

      "As a symbol of our commitment to human dignity, the United States will return to UNESCO. This organization has been reformed and America will participate fully in its mission to advance human rights and tolerance and learning." (emphasis added)
      UNESCO was established in 1945 to disseminate educational, cultural and scientific materials deemed essential for establishing toleration and peace. During the Reagan administration, the U.S. pulled out of UNESCO, charging the agency with rampant waste and fraud, and a hard-left pro-Soviet slant. Sharing many of these concerns, Great Britain also withdrew from UNESCO at about the same time.

      Prior to his decision to rejoin UNESCO, President Bush reached out to social conservatives, and was warned that many groups were increasingly concerned with UNESCO’s ongoing support of the UN’s radical social agenda. UNESCO collaborates with the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and its main Non Government Organization (NGO) partner, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). In line with these groups, UNESCO now advocates for reproductive health services for children. In UN parlance, reproductive health services includes abortion. For instance, one UNESCO document praises Thailand’s provision of abortion-causing "emergency contraceptives" to children as an "innovative strategy."

      UNESCO is also a proponent of the International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights, a document written by UNAIDS and the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights. The document calls on governments to ensure a right to safe and legal abortion, to legalize same-sex marriages, to legalize prostitution, and to provide graphic sexual and homosexual education to children. The document also seeks the establishment of "criminal penalties" for people engaged in speech construed to be a "vilification" of homosexuality.

      In the name of AIDS-reduction, UNESCO has fully embraced reproductive and sex education. In concert with UNAIDS and UNFPA, UNESCO has created curricula that many social conservatives would believe undermine parental authority, show disdain for traditional cultures and religious worldviews, and introduce dishonesty into education. A great deal of UNESCO’s other educational materials fall squarely in the camp of political correctness, endorsing liberal stances on such issues as gender and environmentalism.

      In 1982, the UN (UNESCO) adopted Robert Muller’s World Core Curriculum as a model for all nations to follow. Robert Muller, former United Nations Assistant Secretary General, wrote the "World Core Curriculum." Broadly speaking, the World Core Curriculum is a tetrahedron based on 4 primary components:

      Our Planetary Home and Our Place in the Universe,
      Our Place in Time,
      The Family of Humanity, and
      The Miracle of Individual Life.
      Muller, adopted ideas for his Curriculum from questionable philosophies espoused by the founders of the Theosophical society in pre-revolutionary Russia. The objective of Muller’s Curriculum is to produce an egalitarian society, working cooperatively, in harmony, without competition or strife, and without individual thought or opinion.

      More significantly, the Curriculum advocates taking away the student’s early childhood and family influence—replace it with a "global family." He suggests that education of a child should start at birth and be oriented to the "macrocosm" and that early family influences somehow promote "an egocentric mind set" and will result in a negative or undesirable outcome. In other words, the influence of the traditional family must be abolished for the good of society. Our modern Outcome Based Education curriculums and the U.S. Goals 2000 closely resemble the guidelines of the World Core Curriculum.

      Recognizing the fact that under "Treaty (or Convention) Law" America’s participation in UNESCO brings with it the "treaty requirement" that America adopt and implement UNESCO’s World Core Curriculum.
