The Dimslow Report

5.02.05   The Duck Gets a Good Deal   And Dimslow...?

 

Regulars readers of the Dimslow Report will no doubt be glad to hear that the federal government has successfully cared for the T-Bill Duck. The duck and her eleven chicks now inhabit the wilds of Rock Creek Park. Thus the government has proven remarkably and commendably capable of ensuring full duck rights, in direct correspondence with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If only now the government would live up to its similar legal and moral obligations regarding humans. But the government is often not only inactive, it is also silent about what should be common knowledge and fully addressed.

 

The media has reported in detail the trials and tribulations of the T-Bill duck but remains silent on other matters that should be front page news for Americans and people everywhere. The Law of Silence, as British journalist John Pilger calls it, dictates that, for example:

 

the horror of the American attack on Fallujah [Iraq] has yet to be reported by...major broadcasters. By contrast, independent journalists such as Dahr Jamail have reported doctors describing the slaughter of civilians carrying white flags by US marines. This was videotaped, including the killing of most of a family of 12. One witness described how his mother was shot in the head and his father through the heart, and how a six year old boy standing over his dead parents, crying, was shot dead. None of this has appeared on British television. When asked, a BBC spokesperson said, "The conduct of coalition forces has been examined at length by BBC programmes." That is demonstrably untrue. Similarly, the Law of Silence applies to the likely American attack on Iran. Scott Ritter, the UN weapons inspector who in 1999 disclosed that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and was thereafter virtually blackballed, has recently revealed that, according to a Pentagon official, Iran will be attacked in June. Again, he has been ignored by most of the media.

 

And so it goes. Save the (occasional) duck (rightly so), and smash the inconvenient people.

 

All the more that I John Doe Dimslow can say is that we the Dimslows of the world had better get to understanding the meaning of the word "unite" - sooner, quicker, and better - before it's good night, for all, forevermore.
