Your Tax Dollars At Work: The New Air Force Propaganda Campaign

The Air Force is requesting $59 million of our tax money to spew misleading and false information to the American public. 

Air Force's Scare-Mongering Space Ad Shoves Facts Out of the Airlock

No one expects commercials to be word-for-word accurate -- not even ads from the U.S. military.  But a new Air Force commercial, about the perils of an attack in space, does more than stretch the truth, a bit.  It snaps the truth into tiny little pieces, experts and former officers say -- violating the laws of physics and common sense, while flying in the face everything that's known about the world's constellation of satellites.

"What if your cell phone calls, your television, your GPS system, even your bank transactions, could be taken out with a single missile?" the military ad asks. "They can."

No, they can't.  Not unless there's some new missile out there that can strike dozens and dozens of targets, spread out over thousands and thousands of miles.  Even a nuke in space wouldn't do the trick.

Full Spectrum Fear Mongering

It is a shame that we have such weak minded people in charge (and their underlings) that peace, negotiation and cooperation are not even considered as options.

Spewing division upon the planet is the work of those whose faith is weak and shows their true lack of determination.

Is it time we caste out these money changers from the temple of the people?
