At this point in time it's worth noting that when kids are trotted out for
political reasons, it's because that side has run out of ideas and is
desperate, so it tries to tug on heartstrings. Things haven't changed much
in the last 100 years.

In WWI, the Euros were so hard-up to get the U.S. involved in the
"European War" that posters and illustrations of children being abused and
killed by German soldiers were circulated throughout the U.S. 100 years
later, many historians still feel we were "duped" into sending 110,000
American doughboys to their deaths.

Students of WWII will remember the famous 1937 photo of the toddler at the
railway station in Shanghai during a Japanese bombardment. It later turned
out to staged, with the photographer placing the child on the platform.
There's also evidence it was faked outright, with the kid and the platform
photographed separately and then combined (note the "burning in," the light
area around the child's body). Humanitarian Clare Boothe Luce, wife of Time
magazine founder Henry Luce, did everything she could to give the pic wide
dissemination. Hubby Henry finally tired of his wife's histrionics and
reportedly said, "People don't want to read about yellow men killing yellow
men."

At the beginning of the First Gulf War in 1991, there was a story about
invading Iraqi troops dumping hundreds of Kuwaiti babies out of their
incubators and leaving them to die . The MSM ate it right up without
checking on sources. It later turned out to be a hoax, cooked up by the
daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S.:

Now the kiddie card is being played again, for the sake of bleeding-heart
liberals who want to see refugees pouring in from all over the world. Were
it not for the Web, we wouldn't know better, at least not right away. Sure,
the Syrian toddler drowned, but he didn't wash up on the beach. His body
was found in the water among some rocks nearby. Photographers asked the
Turkish soldier to stage the picture by laying him out at the water's edge,
and that's where they fucked up: http://tinyurl.com/otemsyj

And daddy Abdullah's story is bullshit: http://tinyurl.com/ojcgvzp

His family was given FREE housing in Turkey and had been there for THREE
years. Abdullah Kurdi was not in any war zone. He was safe, he had food, he
had over $4,400 in cash, which is over 13,000 Turkish Lira:

Oh, and BTW, that "refugee" who was carrying a child when he was tripped by
that Hungarian reporter has turned out to be nothing less than a war
criminal: http://rudaw.net/english/middleeast/syria/20092015. Spain decided
to take him in because he's allegedly a good soccer player.


[SIGH] The more things change, the more they stay the same. And when this
whole "refugee" bomb blows up in everyone's faces, they'll wonder, "How
could we have been so naïve?" Hopefully, I'll still be around to say, "See,
I told you so!"

Europe has yet to learn the lesson of WW2, appeasing
dictators always ends up the same way, with one
human horror after another. Europe is appeasing
not only Putin, but Assad and el-Sisi, and this
mass migration and human tragedy is the natural
result.

When Putin destroyed what's left of democracy
Europe winked at it, could care less.

When el-Sisi killed 1500 protesters on his first
day in office and wiped out democracy in Egypt
Europe said that's fine, they're all damn dirty
Muslims anyways so they deserve it.

Europe likes strong man dictators, do they
like what they reap too? This mass migration
is entirely of Europe's making, and they need
to clean up their own mistake this time.

Maybe next time Europe won't sing their little song
that democracy isn't a part of 'their' culture.
'They' are not human enough or intelligent enough
to understand or deserve democracy.

Or their other favorite cop-out, it's not their
problem.

I couldn't be more disappointed in the
US response to the coup by el-Sisi.
The oldest nation on Earth had it's very
first honest and open election, and we
watched it get flushed.

Egypt is and has been a very strategic
nation and we have bigger fish to fry.

But the US has been consistent in pushing
all these nations to be more democratic.
And when one goes off the deep end we
usually cut ties, like with the Shah
and with Marcos.

almost the same lists, with the main exception
the oil rich nations.

Not to mention, compare a conflict map with

North Korea and Iran (Gaza/Hezbollash) all
are near the bottom of the democracy index.

And near the top of the flaming pits of hell

Let's talk about Allende and Pinochet in more detail
using facts though. Just because we supported his
ouster doesn't mean it was our coup.

Allende was doing to Chile what Putin did to
democracy in Russia, dismantle it become a
dictator for life.


Salvador Allende
From Wiki


As president, Allende adopted a policy of nationalisation
of industries and collectivisation; due to these and
other factors, increasingly strained relations between him
and the legislative and judicial branches of the Chilean
government – who did not share his enthusiasm for
socialisation – culminated in a declaration of a
"constitutional breakdown" by the congress.

A centre-right majority including the Christian Democrats,
whose support had enabled Allende's election, denounced
his rule as unconstitutional and called for his
overthrow by force.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende




Augusto Pinochet


Under the influence of the free market-oriented neoliberal
"Chicago Boys", the military government implemented
economic reforms, including currency stabilization,
tariff cutting, opening Chile's markets to global trade,
restricting labor unions, privatizing social security,
and the privatization of hundreds of state-controlled
industries. These policies produced what has been referred
to as the "Miracle of Chile," but critics state that the
government policies dramatically increased economic
inequality.[15]

Chile was, for most of the 1990s, the best-performing
economy in Latin America, though academics continue
to dispute the legacy of Pinochet's reforms.[16]

Pinochet's 17-year rule was given a legal framework
through a controversial 1980 plebiscite, which
approved a new Constitution drafted by a
government-appointed commission. In a 1988
plebiscite 56% voted against Pinochet's continuing
as president, which led to democratic elections
for the Presidency and Congress. After stepping
down in 1990, Pinochet continued to serve as
Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army until
10 March 1998, when he retired and became
a senator-for-life in accordance with his
1980 Constitution"


...his constitution, which returned democracy
and Chile's future.

Since Pinochet was removed democracy has occurred in Chile.
He wasn't removed, his constitution allowed the
people to vote him out of office, and he complied.

http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/President_Goldwater
Goldwater's 1964 electoral wipeout resulted in big down-ticket Democratic
wins.

Johnson started his first full term with Democratic supermajorities in
Congress that helped him pass Medicare and Medicaid and his other "Great
Society" agenda items that were anathema to limited-government
conservatives.

It appeared conservatism was dead, but it was just revving up. It ultimately
outlasted Goldwater's dedication to the movement.

Meanwhile, Goldwater true believers quietly filled rank-and-file Republican
Party positions. They continued to remake the party from the inside,
ensuring moderate candidates no longer had the inside track.

A generation of young Goldwater disciples, invigorated by the idealism of
the 1964 campaign, ran for Congress and other political offices, further
extending the conservative movement's influence on Capitol Hill and in state
legislatures.

Republicans rebounded and made big gains in the 1966 congressional midterm
elections.

Despite Johnson's domestic-policy achievements, the morass of the Vietnam
War became his undoing, and he chose not to run in 1968.

Reagan's 1980 election was widely seen as mainstream vindication of
Goldwater-style conservatism.

incubators and leaving them to die . The MSM ate it right up without
checking on sources. It later turned out to be a hoax, cooked up by the

Now the kiddie card is being played again, for the sake of bleeding-heart
liberals who want to see refugees pouring in from all over the world. Were
it not for the Web, we wouldn't know better, at least not right away. Sure,
the Syrian toddler drowned, but he didn't wash up on the beach. His body
was found in the water among some rocks nearby. Photographers asked the
Turkish soldier to stage the picture by laying him out at the water's edge,
and that's where they fucked up: http://tinyurl.com/otemsyj
And daddy Abdullah's story is bullshit: http://tinyurl.com/ojcgvzp
His family was given FREE housing in Turkey and had been there for THREE

whole "refugee" bomb blows up in everyone's faces, they'll wonder, "How
could we have been so naïve?" Hopefully, I'll still be around to say, "See,
I told you so!"

Staged? Read this from the photographer:

"Then I saw a man pick up a baby from the tracks and carry him to the platform. He went back to get another badly injured child. The mother lay dead on the tracks. As I filmed this tragedy, I heard the sound of planes returning. Quickly, I shot my remaining few feet [of film] on the baby. I ran toward the child, intending to carry him to safety, but the father returned. The bombers passed overhead. No bombs were dropped."

Further, why would there have been any need to fake a photo when newsreels documented the bombing?
