LUNATIC CONSPIRACIES
Pity poor Phillip Adams, target of lunatics:
Lunatic conspiracies are jamming my inbox in the aftermath of London. Blair did it!
Perhaps Phil sent those lunatic emails to himself. Here’s Adams on July 12:
Let’s be clear about it: the people who died in the subway tunnels and on the bus were victims of the Iraq war. They died because of Blair’s London Bridge, the one he built from the Thames to the Euphrates.
Had he not misled his nation into that murderous folly of an invasion, the people would have walked off the trains instead of being carried off on stretchers. Or had their body parts collected in bags.
They died because of Blair. What kind of lunatic would suggest such a thing? Adams continues:
Tourish recalls Pauline Hanson being interviewed about her fears of Asian immigration. When told she was wildly exaggerating the statistics, and shown the data, she simply said “I don’t believe those figures” ...
Which recalls John Pilger’s response to questions about Osama bin Laden citing East Timor as a root cause of terrorism:
We can’t believe that. We can’t believe all these things we’re being told.
Hanson and Pilger. What a sweet couple they’d make; thanks to Adams for making obvious their shared faith in blind denial.
