POPSBombs in Iran? Not so much The Washington Post put forward an audaciously spun story about Vyacheslav Danilenko, whom WaPo's Joby Warrick is accusing of being a Soviet Weapons Scientist. Danilenko is actually — has always been — a scientist who specializes in using explosions to create synthetic industrial diamonds, for use in oil drilling. All this ridiculous noise about Iran making bombs because they've created technology for accurately measuring the power and shape of explosions has perfectly legitimate, non-nuclear applications. Someone needs to hold the Commercial Conservative Media responsible for the Yellow Journalism they're passing off as news. It's no wonder so many Americans are misinformed about their nation, and the world; they're bombarded with lies from all sides. Shades of Brazil...

POPSSpin! Spin the News, my pretties! Right-Wing Wicked Witch of Washington does mind-boggling editorial gymnastics to try to prove that Social Security — the system that can continue to pay out of its own fund for the next 30 years, even if it doesn't take in any more income — is "sucking money from the treasury". In their desperate attempt to prove what simply does not exist, the Right-Wing Media has conjured forth a new "socialist government entity" known as SocialSecurityandMedicare ; a monolithic, indivisible entity that only Commies and Serial Killers would ever want to consider apart from each other. So, are we still going to pretend that Americans are being informed by their capitalistic, conservative media industry, or can we finally toss all American Corporate Media into the trashbin of history, and get people watching BBCNewsNet instead for their American and World news — something that isn't subject to the whims of the corporate world.

POPS9/11The Years of Shame - How the truth hurts those who wish it to stay hidden by their lies. Paul Krugman is a brave hero for exposing the shame so many of us felt during the past ten years:--- The disgrace is the responsibility of such “fake heroes” as former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and President George W. Bush, darlings of the Republican Party who “ in on the horror” for personal and political gain and drove the country apart, (Krugman) writes. As Krugman has said elsewhere, the truth is often shrill. —ARK The Huffington Post: Paul Krugman drew conservative outrage on Sunday when he wrote that the anniversary of 9/11 had become a marker of “shame” for the U.S. http://www.thethinkingblue.com/911shame.html

POPSVideo: The Billionaires' Tea Party Exposing the true forces behind the Tea Party Movement; billionaires David and Charles Koch, and their use of highly effective propaganda (explained as speaking to the "gut" instead of the mind) to fulfill their wishes for a totally privatized America (Plutocracy; no freedom whatsoever), they have duped the Teabaggers into thinking they are a "grassroots" movement, instead of the corporate-planned and -sponsored Faux-Outrage spectacles they really are. Goebbels never had it as good as the Tea Party Masterminds, with not only an entire propaganda nextowk (FoxNews), but the entire Conservative Corporate American Media bending over backwards to try to be "impartial" (which cannot be done when one side is truth, and the other is completely fabricated lies). The stuff that the Tea Party tried to "warn" people of was never going to happen; we not the threat they pretended it to be. The Tea Party is about deception and mindless outrage with no true target.
