		<description><![CDATA[Remember that ol&#039; quote from Carl Becker, cited at &lt;a href=&quot;http://peoplesgeography.com/2006/12/11/andy-singers-artful-juxtapositions/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Reclaiming Space here&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Whether arguments command assent or not depends less upon the logic that conveys them than upon the climate of opinion in which they are sustained.”&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The unanimity of opinion is relentlessly produced and kept up by a contrived climate of opinion shaped by the Likudnik Zionists.  They are represented out of all proportion in ownership of Hollywood and vast mainstream media holdings, which are crucially of course the strategic &quot;consensus reality&quot;-producing sectors that manufacture that &quot;climate of opinion&quot;. This has a large hand in determining what is deemed the prevailing orthodoxy and what is deemed heresy. 

All great truths may start off as heresies, but its the Israel-first Lobby&#039;s job to see that the truth stays that way for as long as possible. 

The truth is that it is Israel that has been &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2007/08/19/neoconservatism_fascist_zionism&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;actively threatening several of its neighbors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, not Iran. 

The truth is that it is Israel that is trying to actively wipe Palestine off the map.

The truth is that it is Israel that pushed the US into war in Iraq, a war in large part for Israel, whose regional strategic &quot;interests&quot; are propagated as one and the same as US interests. 

Lest we forget &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2007/06/15/the_high_cost_of_subservience_to_israel?blog=7&amp;posts=25&amp;c=1&amp;page=1&amp;more=1&amp;title=the_high_cost_of_subservience_to_israel&amp;tb=1&amp;pb=1&amp;disp=single&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the USS Liberty or AIPAC agents&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; whose first and primary loyalty is to Israel, not the United States.

Eventually, however, the truth will out.

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you, Homeyra.   That&#039;s a possible explanation, but it doesn&#039;t explain completely why Congress follows the neocon agenda.   We can deduce what&#039;s in it for Cheney and Haliburton.  Bush and Cheney&#039;s behavior can be explained by self interest and greed.  There is probably some back channel kick back system from U.S. contactors to the Bush foundation.  But that explanation does not account for the unanimity of opinion in Congress.  We never see complete agreement on any other subject that Congress addresses.    It just doesn&#039;t explain why more than six hundred representatives, who can have access to the best information sources on the planet if they demand it, can be so easily manipulated.  

It&#039;s hard to believe that everyone who gets elected has a complete lobotomy after they take the oath of office.   It is possible, but I don&#039;t believe it&#039;s probable.  

There must be some other explanation.]]></description>
