10th Anniversary of the Guantanamo Bay Prison In this episode of the Truth Serum: The notorious prison celebrates its tenth anniversary. Despite promises by Obama to shut the prison it remain open even as Obama is ending his first term in office. Horrific Gitmo stories of torture and unlawful detentions continue to surface. Murat Kurnaz who spent five years sat the prison recently penned his thoughts as did Lakhdar Boumediene. A lawsuit was recently filed to force the U.S. Government to release video footage of harsh interrogations. Meanwhile the curator of the Bush’s torture policies is serving as a law professor at U.C. Berkeley. President Obama has continued on with Bush’s sordid legacy and recently signed the controversial NDAA bill authorizing military trials of suspected U.S. citizens.

Pakistan’s Dismal Public Relations Campaign in the U.S. and it’s Affects

October 14, 2011 Leave a comment

In this episode of the Truth Serum: Two weeks after Admiral Mullen’s allegations against Pakistan new evidence has emerged that the United States was also in contact with the group. They were accusing Pakistan of contacts with the Haqqani network while being complicit of direct contacts with the group themselves. In searching for an exit strategy the United States is looking for a scapegoat and Pakistan in many ways seems to fit the bill. Why is the Pakistani public relations campaign so poor? Why didn’t they call Mullen’s bluff right away. Pakistan’s response to the allegations was uncoordinated, weak and ineffective. Pakistan’s lobbying efforts, their PR campaign and their relationship with the United States is at an all-time low, the divide in the public perception of the other nation continues to widen and yet they need each other to win the war against terror. A new envoy, somebody with stature and credibility needs to be placed in charge of the relationship. Truth Serum reports.

Ignore 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, Fear The U.S.’s Propaganda MachineSeptember 11 2011. The stinging date that will forever be linked to the single worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil ever encountered. For the last ten years, 9/11 conspiracy theories have held that the U.S. government played a role in the attacks, or even carried them out itself, all to promote a war in the Middle East, beginning in Afghanistan. While the theories have been proven dead wrong by hard evidence and science, they were on to something when they questioned the U.S.’s use of the attacks to promote illegal wars in the Middle East – Too bad most Americans won’t listen to that last part.
