Reply #4: the horror [View All]

This sums it all up. He brings up the concept of "the normalisers:"

In "The Banality of Evil", Edward S Herman wrote, "Doing terrible things in an organised and systematic way rests on 'normalisation'... There is usually a division of labour in doing and rationalising the unthinkable, with the direct brutalising and killing done by one set of individuals... others working on improving technology (a better crematory gas, a longer burning and more adhesive Napalm, bomb fragments that penetrate flesh in hard-to-trace patterns). It is the function of the experts, and the mainstream media, to normalise the unthinkable for the general public."


We see this every day in our news. Even the fact that our own American soldier deaths are now on page eight or nine reveals that "the normalisers" are at work.

Another important connection this piece makes is between the 10,000 Americans evacuated and depleted uranium. I have always thought that number high in relationship to the number dead. This may explain that.

And last, he makes another point I had never considered--that the mass graves in Iraq were from the uprising from the first Gulf War.

What a horror.

p.s. I had to copy this article into another program to read it. Why on earth do they try to cram all this in mouse type into one small page. It's not as if it's paper!
