If you want an first class example of official lies, watch the televised conferences of the federal health officials concerning the poisoning of pets. A large number of cats and dogs have recently died from eating deliberately contaminated pet food. The first finding, by a reputable laboratory, was that the food was laced with rat poison. Our government, alarmed at the implications of this and coupled with a number of serious and disparate outbreaks of induced Ecoli at restaurants, has now released a statement bordering on the moronic, claiming that Chinese wheat glutin is responsible and that it contains a harmless plastic additive. If this were the case, there would be tens of thousands of humans, who eat wheat glutin daily, dying in the hospitals all across the world. Why the transparent and stupid lies? Two reports, one by the DoJ and the other by the CDC indicates that the “probable suspects” are Mexican illegals who work at the restaurants where the poisonings broke out and certainly in the American pet food factories. Militant Latino groups are furious because the Republicans want to physically deport all illegals and are further outraged at the slave wages and poor working conditions the American businessmen force them to work under. Another reason for avoiding the subject of deliberate poisoning of American food is that if it ever became commonly believed, the fearful and enraged pubic would demand action and action is something the useless, cronified Bush administration is incapable of. And it also might be of interest to note that the so-called Mad Cow disease now had a foothold in the United States but we will hear absolutely nothing about this because the meat packing industry gives the Republicans huge money to be quiet. After all, it would cost them millions to properly test their meat sources and why spend hundreds of millions in safeguards when a briefcase full of hundred dollar bills delivered to the Oval Office (yes, dear, Bush does take personal bribes…it runs in the family) or the office of a key Senator or Congressman. After all, they reason, by the time Mad Cow is noticed by the public, they will be safely out of office and enjoying their bribes in Aruba.
