Revised and Corrected: White House Propaganda Photo


William Norman Grigg writes:
Michelle Obama spared a moment between lavish tax-victim-funded vacations and celebrity outings to join this year’s version of the Kony campaignwhich seeks military action in Nigeria to liberate 276 Christian schoolgirls who were abducted by Muslim militants.
The Twitter campaign — in which people pose with signs reading #BringBackOurGirls — is not directed at the terrorists and kidnappers, whose hearts will not be softened by such entreaties. The intent is to cultivate public support for a “humanitarian” military operation conducted by the same kind-hearted folks who have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people during the past twelve years, and who are lending financial and military support to Jihadis in Syria who are committing atrocities every bit as vile as those carried out by Boko Haram.
This isn’t to say that the everyone who has enlisted in this hashtag campaign is a cynical war-monger, opportunistic politician, or trend-sucking celebrity. The heroic Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel nominee who survived being shot in the head by Taliban gunmen as punishment for promoting education for young girls, has joined the movement as well. Malala’s moral authority comes not merely from what she suffered in Pakistan, but from her willingness to confront the Nobel-winning murderer in the Oval Office over his continuing campaign of state terrorism.
During her White House visit last October, Malala expressed her concerns “that drone attacks are fueling terrorism,” she told the Associated Press. “Innocent victims are killed in these acts,” which she described as “fueling terrorism.”
Mrs. Obama’s Twitter photo was revised and corrected by a revolutionary socialist group in Detroit to reflect the hideous reality behind the administration’s humanitarian posturing.

  1. Outstanding article by grigg, as usual. The photoshopped sign is far more accurate than what obese Michelle posted with in her photo op

  2. Grigg is awesome. I love the photoshop of Michelle Obomber!

    Some big money has some big bets riding on intervention in Nigeria- stories like this don't get 24/7 MSM attention unless the people at the top are pushing for something.

    The sad part is that these girls are pawns in a worldwide game.
