Iraq election failure portrayed as success by Western media

The first election in Iraq since the previous government was
overthrown by American and British forces is a miserable disaster by
any conceivable measure. Yet the Western media universally portrays
the election as a historic success.

In this huge sprawling nation with a vast population of 28 million,
70% of them did not participate in the election at all. In total, 18
million Iraqis were excluded from this election. Half of the Iraqi
population were never registered to vote in the first place, and only
half of those registered actually use their vote.

This supposedly great occasion was in fact a day of carnage and
terror. The Western media conveniently blames the election flop on
resistance fighters, claiming that Iraqis were too frightened to vote.
But in reality, even among the Iraqi exiles who live in safety far
away, only a tiny minority bothered to vote. This is because only a
tiny minority of Iraqi people have any interest in America's plans for
the future of Iraq, and we should all know who they are.

The vast majority of people in Iraq are Shia Muslims, and the
remaining 40% is made up of many small rival factions, so the Shia
will win every election and the other candidates are a formality.
Contrary to Western brainwashing, democracy does not work in every
situation.

The so-called "exiles" from Iraq are a bitter mixture of anti-Saddam
terrorists and Islamic extremists, Kurdish separatists who dislike
Iraq and want to be a separate country, false asylum-seekers, economic
migrants and health and social security tourists. They were happy to
lend their support to anti-Saddam propaganda before the war, but they
no longer care about what happens in Iraq when their immigration
status is threatened.

Under Saddam Hussein this was a secular state, but an Islamic regime
will rapidly make Iraq less like the West, not more like us. Next
door, Iran is also a Shiite regime, and the two oil-rich nations will
unite against the West when they get the chance.

Major news outlets are complaining that the coverage of this election
was not positive enough! Anybody who dared to tell the other side of
the story is accused of "siding with jihadi murderers" even by the
most trusted sources, such as The Guardian newspaper in the UK, which
went on to say "Shame on them."

This must be the single largest exercise in pro-democracy propaganda
in the history of human civilization. Never in the history of spin
have so many people been so blatantly deceived.

Now is the time to open your eyes to the truth, for if we are all
seduced by this great lie we may never see let alone face up to the
very real dangers that lie beneath the illusion.
