- Heating up the Atmosphere

Anyone who has taken their dog out on a cold morning to do its business has seen the steam rise from a freshly released mound of excrement. This is the vision I got when I read this AP story on how reducing the world’s consumption of red meat would help curb “man-made” global warming. The purpose of my post has nothing to do with global warming however. It has to do with how the AP inserted a little bit of castro propaganda into a totally unrelated article in the form of a photograph showing a Cuban meat market with a caption detailing the wonderful changes raul has made in regards to farmers on the island.

Nowhere in the article, outside of the photo and caption, will you find a mention of Cuba or the fact that the per capita meat consumption on the island is well below that of the region and the world as a whole. So, I failed to see how if indeed the increased consumption of meat was a major contributor to “man-made” global warming, why they chose to run a picture of a Cuban meat market with a caption describing the “new and improved” dictatorial monarchy in Cuba.

Here is the hook my friends: It has nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with advancing the propaganda put out by the castro monarchy. Your typical uninterested observer will read this article and the accompanying photograph and caption and even though it has nothing to do with global warming, it will subliminally register in their minds that not only do the people in Cuba have all the meat they can eat, they have an overabundance of it.

Even though there are hundreds, if not thousands, of political prisoners rotting in Cuban jails, when the topic of Cuba comes up, they will remember this photograph and its caption.

This journalistic stretch—for lack of a better term—is a blatant example of how the MSM has become, now more than ever, the official mouthpiece of castro and his henchmen. They have used a completely unrelated story to put forth the misinformation propagated by the communist monarchy in Cuba. This deliberate insertion of propaganda is their way of setting the stage for the big Cuba discussion that we see coming on the horizon. They are heating up the atmosphere with unadulterated lies in order to help secure the continuation of the dictatorial monarchy that has subjugated the Cuban population for almost half a century.

Just when I thought the MSM could not stoop any lower they come back and prove me wrong.
