If you wonder how the lethal “group think” on Iraq took shape in 2002, you might want to study what’s happening today with Ukraine. A misguided consensus has grabbed hold of Official Washington and has pulled in everyone who “matters” and tossed out almost anyone who disagrees.

Oh, and continue to silence the truth here. We will all stand together for the truth and fight against neocons every step of the way, whether in government, or trying to silence dissent just like the US police state does with arrests and incarceration.
