US Passes Test - Totally Oblivious to Facts

Quote of the Day:

"To look is one thing, to see what you look at is another, to
understand what you see is a third, to learn from what you understand
is still something else, but to act on what you learn is all that
really matters."

The recent of announcement that an Arab owned company was to take over security operations at some of the largest ports in the US caused a lot of voices to be raised in anger. Arabs, our enemies, in charge of port security? No way!

In an article in the American Chronicle Patricia DeGennaro discusses whether the rejection of this deal was congress finally speaking up

"Five years after 9-11 Congress somehow found their lost voice. It is a concern, however, that this voice seems to be riding high on fear and xenophobia and the Arab company DP World is the target."

or if this reaction was revenge.

"The bottom line is the Congress really doesn’t care about DP being Arab, they are angry. They gave the President broader powers and now he is using those powers without consulting them."

I don't think it is either. It was a test. Yes, a test to see just how well the citizens of the US have accepted the brainwashing, lies, and smokescreen set up to demonize the Arab people and those of the Moslem faith.

It looks like this author has swallowed the lies hook, line and sinker. While she does not think the Dubai based company should be faulted for merely being from an Arab country she does write:

"There are plenty of things that the Congress could address in order to “get” the US President. Issues that, unfortunately for them, are not safe. Even so, they would help this country move out of the current war quagmire."

"One is seriously debating the war and developing a plan to end it."

Seriously debating the war? What's there to debate? The war is based on lies. It is an illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. It's a bloodbath ... but let's debate.

"Another would be to promptly find a just solution for the captives in Guantanamo and ending accusations of abuse there once and for all."

The only just solution for the prisoners at Guantanamo, who are being held illegally, is to let them go. But this is only an option for those who do not believe the original lie that Arabs conducted the 9-11 terror attacks.

"And instead of ranting about security, start holding yourselves and the Administration accountable for it. Using DP World or anyone else as a scapegoat for US security failures only excuses the American government from doing its job."

Take a look at this article if you want to read about US security failures and scapegoats.

Yep. I'd say that the US has passed the test and proved that it is functioning based upon erroneous facts, emotionally manipulated by nationalism and totally oblivious to the pain and horror inflicted in the name of democracy and freedom.

Business as usual for the Pathocrats.
