This aint just mishandling the story: Cheney JON RAPPOPORT www.nomorefakenews.com | February 16 2006 The only supposed witness to the shooting who has talked to the press, Republican lobbyist Katharine Armstrong, has changed her tune. At first, she made it sound like she had a front-row seat at the event itself. Then she said (to AP) that she at first thought the security people were running toward Cheney because he had a heart problem---which means she didn't see the shooting. Then we have my earlier piece from today---the likely medications Cheney has been taking for his heart condition ALL carry warnings about operating machinery, since they can cause drowsiness and light-headedness. AND alcohol can exacerbate those effects in the case of at least several of those medications. Meanwhile, mainstream reporters studiously avoid these obvious factors, which are corrosive to the official scenario. Instead, they keep screaming about the poor handling of communication lines in getting the story out to the national press. They refuse to ask WHY the delay occurred. Are the cops in Texas grilling Armstrong about changing her story? Of course not. The overwhelming majority of Americans don't care about the delay in getting the story out to the press. They view this issue as nothing more than some cooked-up jive by the press itself. It will go nowhere. For the last 15 years, I have broken story after story about drug factors being involved in violence. I've worked various connections, and have seen a few of these stories reach the mainstream charts---but mostly they lie on the side of the road and die. I don't hold out much hope in getting the Cheney-heart-drug story out there...unless a few readers decide to get busy and become relentless. Why does it matter? Because the sitting vice-president played a major operational role in handling the "response" to 9/11, because he was instrumental in pushing for a failed and obscene war in Iraq, and because he is an operational power behind the throne in the White House. You can name a dozen other good reasons yourself. This story could put him on the ropes. They don't usually get the villains for the biggest things. But sometimes they get them for an isolated event---like the one at the Armstrong ranch in Texas. --------------------------------------------------- Get Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson's books, ALL Alex's documentary films, films by other authors, audio interviews and special reports.
