Don't Be a Media Dupe About Iran
• http://original.antiwar.com, by Jim BabkaWe (the co-founders of Downsize DC) made bold predictions prior to the Iraq war in 2003. You can still see them at TruthAboutWar.org. We got things right, when nearly everyone else was wrong. We even predicted in advance that Iraq had no nuclear weapons.
How did we do that? Well, we knew politicians lie. We knew too that "War is the health of The State" and good for ratings. We also looked past the politicians and the media, and consulted history instead.
Now I want to do the same thing with the Iran treaty. Here are six things you should know to avoid being a media dupe…
1. U.S. and Israeli intelligence agree Iran is nowhere near having a nuclear weapon.
You wouldn't know this from following the news, but it's true.
Neo-conservatives (militarists), like Dick Cheney and Benjamin Netanyahu, have constantly made headlines with their repeated warnings that Iran is only six months away from having a nuclear weapon.
