This is Dark Cloud on Wednesday, March 26, 1986. It takes a nice, winnable little war for the hairy chested, genital measuring American news media to rise to its excessive limitations and make a genuine fool out of itself. I'm not talking about all the local Ernie Pyles trying for a Colorado Flak/Hack award by some teary story about local lads aboard impregnable aircraft carriers. Revolting enough, local news anchors outdo each other in references to how The American Plantlife standing tall again after some sailor pressed a button and blew up a bunch of Libyans. I’m talking about the National Trusts. This is not to say that it doesn’t warm the heart to see Gadaffi bleed; it is just that he hasn’t bled, he has been strengthened by Reagan, given a motive that passes muster with his vibrant constituency to kill again. The only people fooled by all this are the American public, because they want to believe Reagan. And isn’t it a remarkable coincidence that in the middle of the Contra Debate, the Sandinistas attack Honduras? Sheltered in the news by the latter day Commodore Prebles in the Gulf of Sidra, this odd maneuver by Ortega would seem to jeopardize what tolerance he has in Congress. Honduras initially denied, than agreed with our State Department that the Nicaraguans were in their country. Does the press find anything suspicious in these sets of remarkable coincidences? Not that Dark Cloud can see. And I see, friends. After all the bluster of Gadaffi, it doesn't take much guess work bolstered by memory to conclude that he would indeed attack something, given enough opportunity. And while the blood lust of the public feasts on that joyful violence; a heretofore unproduced Sandinista army enters a battle in another country. Reagan sends emergency aid to the Honduran military, which means funds can be laundered to the Contras residing in that country. Why, if the Contras are so lethargic, would the Sandinistas attack at all and now of all times? It is possible that Ortega is more of a slug than I think, but I do not think he is that stupid. I've been wrong on this score before, of course. But is Reagan that lucky, to have his enemies behave so stupidly? He might be. At any rate, these remarkable coincidences have yet to be weighed by the media. It may not be true that Reagan is involved in a mammoth deception, but there precedent for concern, and the press bas not looked at that possibility. |
