The Afghan Question, Going Rogue, and Dog Tails


It is turning out to be a very "telling" month. We are being confounded by the barrage of paradigm shifting information. The Afghan question (McChrystal recommendations, the dithering...) is at the top of the headlines; It continues to be waved before the populace, it's coming, like a carrot before a carriage horse. Next, the recent hostile takeover of Health care by the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government; Last Saturday Night's mockery of democracy in the U.S. Senate was followed by a number of Sunday Morning TV News program denials. Congressman Joe "the independent" Lieberman (CT), stated that he would not vote for the final bill if it included a public option. Out of left field came U.S. Senator Charles E. “Chuck” Schumer (D) NY, who introduced legislation to address the issues of frequent flyer programs.

Meanwhile, they say that the recession is over. It's going to be a jobless recovery. Can you believe this? They say that the economy is growing. Don't worry be happy!

Ex-Vice President candidate Sarah Palin is now on a book signing tour around the nation promoting her book "Going Rogue". Now, after having resigned from her post as governor of Alaska she is barnstorming America; Why is she doing this? She lost shamelessly in November. Is she the great white female republican hope? If this weren't so ridiculous, I'd say she was preparing for the 2012 presidential elections?

Last week, women's preventive health measures were questioned when it was revealed that most females under 50-years-old do not need routine Mammograms. What a reversal of procedures? This is like hitting the down button on an elevator that's headed up to the 5th floor. The stories never cease to amaze me. But, I detect a common denominator in all the confusion; It is part of the wag the tail technique.

To add to all the distressing push-a-me pull-a-me media hype of the Swine Flu Pandemic year, add today's story: Small batch of swine flu vaccines pulled in Canada
The Associated Press -
Meera Selva - ‎51 minutes ago‎
GlaxoSmithKline is only investigating the one batch of its swine flu vaccine in Canada. White said no other doses of its swine flu vaccine around the world ...


Now this puts the icing on the cake!

What may seem as a deluge of conflicting information, might just be intentional. As we know most people aren't able to multi-task so readily. Most men can't march and chew gum at the same mind. The old adage comes to mind: If you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with nonsense...


I remember the lyrics to a 1970's song that said: "We don't need no Watergate, just gimme' some bucks and I'll be straight." Now we don't need bizarre
stories to occupy our minds, or money to enrich our lives; We need wisdom and a keen awareness to what is truly important. We must focus on the unchanging Word of God.


So, does a suspicious person have grounds to distrust all the disinformation that passes for news? They just can't make things up like this, or can they? We can call this what it is: A bunch of Dog Tales, or Dog Tails wagging to divert the attention from the real issues; I consider one of these to be the upcoming Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen where global government will further compromise our diminishing Constitution, and our representative Republican form of government. Keep your ear to the ground! More perplexing changes will overwhelm even the most vigilant of men.

Our freedoms are on the line.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


Arsenio.
