How is the Bush White House able to hide everything? Everything!

[kentuck]

Nothing comes out. Are they so good at controlling information, photos, secrets, documents, etc? One would think that something would find its way to daylight? But nothing ever does. Torture photos? None? Abramoff photos? None. Nothing. Nada. How are they able to do that?

1. Blackmail?

2. The tide is turning...

like the leaves on the Aspen trees!!! I think Libby is going to tell all and others will follow rather than go the Titanic route with this administration.

[Skelington]

17. Interesting analogy,

the Aspen leaves turned here months ago, won't be long before they are green again. I keep hearing the tide is turning, Libby won't even come to trial till next January. November is everything, it will be an action packed summer.

3. Here's How They Do It.......

A guy named Winston in the The Ministry of Truth or Minitrue, in Bushspeak dealt with each of the photos, he culled them from the files and dropped them into the memory hole to be devoured by the flames. He substituted photo op pictures complementary to Bush and pushed them into the pneumatic tube system.

What happened in the unseen labyrinth to which the pneumatic tubes led, he does not know in detail, but he did know in general terms. As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of The Times is assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.

This process of continuous alteration is applied not only to Bush photos, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, newspapers -- to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance or portray Bush in a bad way.

Day by day and almost minute by minute the past is brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the BushCo could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor is any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history is a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as is necessary. In no case will it be possible, once the deed is done, to prove that any falsification have taken place.

5. Seems credible to me...

But I'm just a liberal conspiracist...

4. Sort of makes you wonder

...about the usual defense against so-called "conspiracy theories" -- namely, that the proof against them is that no evidence ever surfaces, or that so many people cannot all keep a secret.

[Nite Owl]

13. It doesn't surface because they

are the ones in control of the conspiracy. They are the conspirators not us, we just see the footprints, they made them.

[PinkTiger]

6. Network. They have an awesome network of thugs.

And money and power behind them. Everybody is scared. Most people are cowards, and when the thugs threaten to break legs or make a person disappear, they crumble.
Not me, though. Let me at em.

[Strawman]

7. The chickenshit media

[napi21]

8. Probably threats.

I wouldn't be surprised if they only hired people who have done things they shouldn't have done. The Roves of the World keep this info neatly in a file, and use it to make sure nobody turns on the admin, or their own personal indiscretions will be made public.

[mmonk]

9. Really it's all there out in the open.

We just don't have a free press. I don't know how we can expect to be free anymore.

10. Masked men with baseball bats.

Did it work for the congressional aide? I haven't heard ....

[C_U_L8R]

11. They have a Secret Police

that cleans up their messes
(and ghosting those who are in their way)

[LoveMyCali]

12. I don't think that they are hiding everything

look at all the things we have heard about but apparently most Americans either don't care or are just too damn lazy to do anything about it. :grr:

[johnnie]

14. They don't really hide it

A lot of people just don't give a shit. The information is out there, but it isn't on Fox news. It's not that this administration is so smart, it's that a lot of the American people are just dumb.

[OrcaStraight]

15. What DID happen?

What did happen to all those charges they were bringing, evidence they had against various Bush people, the indictments--EVERYTHING we were promised? It feels like it's ALL gone away like it never existed!:argh:

[mitchum]

18. Corporate media and a compliant "opposition" party

[rucky]

19. Plenty of willing participants ($$$$$$) n/t

[soothsayer]

20. We let big bizness buy up all the media, and this is the result.
