Six Anti-american Myths
The truth is that, for all its flaws, America is a great nation. There are much more anti-American myths. But this article just refutes six of them.
Many leftists even excuse Hamas’s illegal coup in Gaza by citing a wacky conspiracy theory between Fatah commander Mohammed Dahlan and the US to overthrow Hamas. This false anaylsis excuses Hamas’s capture of Gaza by saying that it’s a response to this conspiracy. It’s used as part of the “proof” that the US “undermines” democracy.
Though Hamas came in democratically, Hamas never behaved democratically, for democracy is the antithesis of the Islamo-Fascist ideology. Since winning the 2006 election, Hamas has used their new position to shove Islamo-Fascism down the throats of all Palestinians. Hamas also used the new power they got in Gaza to do the same thing. Hamas brutally kills their political opponents. Even criticizing the Hamas regime in Gaza is a big risk on safety. Human Rights Watch, a group that’s not friendly to Israel one bit, issued a report that condemned Hamas’s human rights violations. According to the report, “Human Rights Watch interviewed three men, two of them Fatah supporters, who had been shot in the legs during the Israeli attack, apparently by Hamas security forces. The third man said he had been overheard on the street criticizing Hamas. ‘About 14 of them came for me,’ the third man said. ‘They forced me to go from my home to a dark place near a mosque and four of them shot me in the legs, one shot each, but one missed.’”
In Hamas-controlled Gaza, women can’t even wear a bathing suit to swim, but have to be dressed in their Islamic attire. Hamas and other Islamo-Fascist groups also attack and persecute the Christians in Gaza, causing them to flee. So Hamas’s policies aren’t democratic one bit.
As for the blockade myth, Israel, America and the EU have gone out of their way to avoid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It’s Hamas that wants one; for Hamas withholds the humanitarian aid, shuts off the electricity, and, according to the Palestine Press News agency, while the bakery owners claimed that they had enough flour for at least a month, Hamas closed down the bakery. So it’s Hamas that wants a humanitarian crisis to blame Israel and even is willing to stage one, like with having a picture of Palestinians carrying candles [see the picture in the Stand with US publication "Israel's military operations against Hamas"]. However, unfortunately for Hamas, it forgot to turn off the street lights, thusly making it more obvious that it was just staged in a PR campaign against Israel.

I see you go on to a propaganda site for Mossadegh [it also acts like a propaganda site for the Iranian regime and even denies that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for wiping Israel off the map] in order to cite your “proof” Who are these “experts”? The answer is that they’re anti-American propagandists. The anti-American narrative has become the dominant narrative. I told what happened from a truthful perspective. Try going onto the following page below to know some more of the full story: http://helian.net/blog/2009/06/26/history/mossadegh-iran-and-the-cias-electric-kool-aid-acid-coup/
No one even refuted the claims about Mossadegh’s emergency powers or his rigged referendum. Instead, the Mossadegh was a democratic hero propagandists keep on going on and on with their story of heroic popular democratic Mossadegh against the evil west. Face it. Khomeini, the founding father of the Iranian regime, hated Mossadegh and stated that Mossadegh staying in power would’ve slapped Islam. So clearly, the Iranian regime doesn’t like Mossadegh and is using him as an excuse in order to distract people [especially the west and America] from the real picture and to make it seem like the west, especially the “Great Satan” deserves all of the blame. After all, those heroic Iranian people on the streets are fighting to free their country from the Iranian regime and its oppression and aren’t fighting against America or the west. The Iranian regime needs the Mossadegh fairy tale in order to distract the world from the true picture about what’s going on in Iran. Whether knowingly or not, these liberals [like Stephan Kinzer] who repeat over and over again are actually aiding the Iranian regime. It’s also used by the Iranian regime in order to portray their nuclear weapons program in the same heroic light that Mossadegh’s nationalizing of the AIOC was portrayed. This anti-American narrative [the usual blame America for everything] has even got our own politicians buying into it; first Madeline Albright, then Ron Paul and then Barack Obama in his Cairo speech. As I said, these “experts” help the Iranian regime whether knowingly or not by giving them this anti-American fairytale on a silver platter.

When did Abraham Lincoln own slaves? You do know that slave owner ship was never the norm in America? This is why it was first outlawed in the north and then a war was fought to end it in the south. It’s funny what truths you can find if you dig deep into accurate history. There were even several free blacks in the south who owned slaves. And while slavery in America ended in 1865, other places in the world seem practice slavery.

Isn’t this lifted from Michael Medved’s book, “The Ten Biggest Lies About America”? Not I don’t agree with the points, but if credit is due, it should be noted. Otherwise, it’s dangerously close to plagiarism.

How is this plagerism from Michael Medved’s book? Did I look at his book and copy a phrase? Having a myth.andfact formula is a common way of writing that many people use. I worked and wrote this article and am the one who deserves credit for it.

The past counter-culture has had its way with the American System and is still deconstructing and revisioning as i type.

Yes, slavery ended but not the discrimination against African Americans. After reconstruction was the rise of the Ku Klux Klan who continued to terrorize the black community. Jim Crow laws were also instituted to keep black people “in their place”. African Americans had to fight for full rights in this country. Europe got the chance to see American democracy in action when they saw the pictures and news of African Americans being attacked by dogs and with water in the streets. Let’s not try to rewrite history. Those of us who saw it, still remember it.

Benyamin Solomon’s important note: Serbs were the victims of Islamo-Fascism and were simply defending themselves from Islamo-Fascists, who came to attack them. Bill Clinton intervening on behalf of Islamo-Fascists in Kosovo was one of the stupidest things that he ever did.
