Televised silence around Iraqi refineries becomes part of the trick, as Added slogans and inverted addages help hide a managed oil procedure that turns extraction off and on.

This page continues the previous one by making media omission itself a tactic. Mark Twain, addage, the typed phrase 'mess is more,' owners, governments, and contractors collapse into one cynical logic where war becomes engineering maintenance. The clearest correction makes the second addage something Added to the spin, while other handwritten overlays are documented but omitted where unplaceable.

What television won't show -- 'oil refineries being blown up' -- is exactly where the argument hides. The page builds its cynicism by perverting received wisdom: Mark Twain's 'half truth addage inverted' and 'mess is more' invert the comforting maxims, and the conclusion lands on a chillingly mundane image, contractors 'turning it all off' as 'the easiest of their engineering tasks.' War reduced to a valve. This reading stays provisional because the page is mixed quality with handwritten overlays the reviewer left partly unplaceable.
