7. I believe the OP is saying that the photos were used to promote a FAKE impression. I think most

people understand that.

This is third attempt to create a FAKE impression, using fliers and photos to do so. That the photos and fliers exist does not mean the word 'fake' does not apply.

We get it. The feeling of deja vu is palpaple, everywhere. As soon as I saw the Duck Dynasty characters, circled in case we might miss them, I remember similar 'not fake' though photoshopped photos of Bush supposedly surrounded by multitudes of US Troops. As it turned out there were really only about six actual REAL troops whose images were repeated over and over again to create the FAKE impression that there were hundreds of them.

We've seen this before. It's shameful that our leaders think we are so stupid we would not recognize when they tried to use it again.

I also recall a leaked conversation where the Bush War Criminals talked about painting a plane to make it look like an Iraqi Plane which they would then use to claim Saddam was violating the no fly zone or something of the kind.

Since we never brought the lying War Criminals and their Propagandists to justice, we now trust nothing coming from our Corporate media.

Maybe they will post something that is real one day, not photo-shopped, 'mis-labeled' or whatever, but guess what, no one is going to believe them anyhow.

That's what happens when you lie repeatedly when you pay millions to Private PR groups, like The Rendon Group, to 'sell' your latest War For Profit. You might get away with it once, but when you try it again, most intelligent people are on to you.
