... the latest records released and subsequent coverage noted below, really makes one wonder when enough Americans are going to get their heads out of the sand and realize that our federal government does NOTHING BUT LIE to the American people at ALL TIMES.

To wit: Wall Street Reform Act? More like, Federal Reserve Empowerment Act... but that's another story... apparently the powers that be feel that the spectre and pain of the Vietnam war is in the past far enough to release the intel below further proving it was a staged event to get America into the war.

And you think this Gulf Oil spill is really an accident?

Records Show Doubts on ’64 Vietnam Crisis

WASHINGTON — In an echo of the debates over the discredited intelligence that helped make the case for the war in Iraq, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday released more than 1,100 pages of previously classified Vietnam-era transcripts that show senators of the time sharply questioning whether they had been deceived by the White House and the Pentagon over the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident.

“If this country has been misled, if this committee, this Congress, has been misled by pretext into a war in which thousands of young men have died, and many more thousands have been crippled for life, and out of which their country has lost prestige, moral position in the world, the consequences are very great,” Senator Albert Gore Sr. of Tennessee, the father of the future vice president, said in March 1968 in a closed session of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Four years into the war, senators were at loggerheads with Lyndon B. Johnson. At the time Foreign Relations Committee meetings were held behind closed doors.

It would take over thirty years for the truth to emerge that the Aug. 4, 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, where US warships were apparently attacked by North Vietnamese PT Boats – an incident that kicked off US involvement in the Vietnam war – was a staged event that never actually took place.
