Every now and then a reference is made indicating the tolerance of US citizens to put up with compulsive and consummate lying by their presidents. OK Trump is more upfront with the ‘alternative fact’ rhetoric but is he the most dishonest of all presidents when it comes to endangering the health and wellbeing of said citizens.
George W (mouthpiece for Chaney), and his minders lied about the Iraq stockpile of chemical weapons and WMDs even though the teams of inspectors he sent there reported no case to answer. That bit of BS cost the lives of over 100,000 innocent men women and children.
How about Ronald Reagan? Reagan lied about the Iran Iraq war from day one. He and Bush senior repeatedly told the populace Iran started the war.
Reagan used this ruse to assist the Iraqis even though he maintained the US would not become involved. He sent Bacillus anthracis, (produces Anthrax).Clostridium botulinim; Histoplasma capulatum; Brucella melitenis; Clostridium perfingens and Escherichia coli (E coli). He packaged them as ‘pesticides’
He sent Bell helicopters to the border region. These were classified as non military and therefore of no use in the conflict. (Except of course to deliver ‘pesticides’ which were manufactured in the chemical plants he built there).
If we could replay the Iraqi official broadcast we would hear “The waves of insects are attacking the Eastern gates of the Arab nation. But we have the pesticides to wipe them out”.
An engineer from Texas said the plant he was working at produced fertilizer, when in reality it produced nerve and mustard gas. (Germany supplied Iraq with both nerve and mustard gas).
(The nerve gas would paralyse their bodies so they would void their bladders and the mustard gas would drown them in their own lungs, hence they spat blood).
The official report not released until the 1990s stated “ The Us government provided Iraq with dual use licensed materials which assisted in the development of chemical, biological and missile-system programmes, including …… chemical warfare agent production facility plant and technical drawings (provided as pesticide production facility plans), chemical warfare filling equipment … Result; estimated at over 500,000 dead.
Now somewhere in all this mess we find the US, Britain, Israel, France etc all supplying arms to both sides of the conflict. (Remember the lunatic Oliver North)?
An indication of Reagan’s intelligence; “Well I learned a lot, I went down to Latin America to find out from them and learn their views. You’d be surprised. They’re all individual countries”
Reagan economics; Shut down all manned forts and other service related sections, put 250,000 people out of work and spend the savings on weapons to kill people.
So! What I’m saying is; yes if you held Reagan up to the light, you may have seen a glow through his rear end, but don’t be misled – it was not the sun as some people may imagine, it was simply the light leaking through his glass navel. Yep! His head was so far up his own bum he needed a glass navel to view the world. Explains his tunnel vision too! Could be classed as a lying mass murdering, subhuman piece of scum.
Just my thoughts.
