The basic scenario I deal with when dealing with people like you is the same old words. Bush, Cheney, halliburton. Bush is dumb no wait he's fooled us all. Bush is a cowboy.(same thing you said about Reagan) World War three is imminent. (Reagan again) Cuba has free health care, we have people dying in the streets. Chavez good--Bush bad. Castro good--bush bad. America, evil empire controlling the world---China, USSR, Cuba, North Korea, Iraq, socialist heavens where all is equal. You sound like Chomsky, a total American hating hypocrite. |

The name fits. I've read that Yastrzemski, while a great player, was an owners-puppet and took the position that Curt Flood was ruining the game with free agency. |

But when you fail to see the difference between our media and al jazeera or fail to see the difference between Bush and hitler or North and South korea your argument losses weight. Some things are actually a fact. The holocaust did happen.
I'm on my way out so I'm not sure why I'm bothering but here we go.
"We can all find sources for every point of veiw but again, at some point the facts add up"
Would you agree that our government keeps getting caught lying? Secret torture prisons, Private Jessica lynch, Secret wire tapping yellow cake uranium... on and on into eternity. Yes the facts keep adding up. The facts being that these people lie.
"You have accepted that saddam had wmd. (again, you side with the butchers). oh let me get this straight, he had them to use on the iranians but not the kurds so he doesnt have them? "
I'm implying that perhaps they are using footage of him gassing Iranians during the Iraq/Iran war and claiming it's actually footage of him gassing his own people. And even if it is of him gassing the kurds we were supplying the gas to him at that time. We support many the evil dictator as long as it suits our needs.
"Do all newspapers lie to some degree? Of course they do. Do all governments kill people? Of course they do. But when you fail to see the difference between our media and al jazeera or fail to see the difference between Bush and hitler or North and South korea your argument losses weight. Some things are actually a fact. The holocaust did happen."
I'm sorry but this is disturbing. Here you are admitting that you are reading propaganda and even though you are aware of that fact you just accept it because it's a part of life today. Honestly, it's like the Matrix were the guy betrays everybody and goes back into the human battery capsule thingy so he can live in the computer generated reality because he can eat fake steaks and drink fake wine and such.
You are saying yeah we are being lied to but just accept it. Is that what I'm understanding here? Why is it acceptable for the media in a "free society" to be lying to it's citizenry?
Watch "Outfoxed" if you get the chance.

Whats disturbing is your ignorance. All newspapers, left or right lie or bend the truth. I don't accept it, I try to gleam truth from many sources. I don't feel its part of life today as you say. It has been part of life since newspapers and government began--oh yeah, why worry about history--its all propaganda. |

So then what is your point? As far as I can tell you haven't really made one. Yu suddenly claim to know that newspapers lie. Okay, now what? What do you want me to do? Shut up about it?
What ignorance? Do you even know what that means? I'm ignorant about many things, let's take Buddhism for example, I don't know shit about it. What exactly am I ignorant about here?

For a guy with five fucking posts you seem to know a lot about me. What's even more amusing is that you obviously assume I'm a liberal. I'm a registered republican(ouch, that hurt) who is foaming at the mouth to hurry up and vote for the only real candidate out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j5xIThPye0

Again the facts get in the way. First of all, logic tells us that because I only have five posts I would be the one that you have trouble knowing. You on the other hand have thousands of posts wich allow me to deduce where your coming from. If YOU only had five posts it would be tough to know a lot about you. Make sense? Second, I dont believe I have labeled you anything. I dont believe i have alligned you with any party. (since I only have five posts it was easy for me to check) Again the facts get in the way. What do I feel you are ingnorant about? That somehow you feel the United States is morally on par with the soviet union or syria or whatever nation that the people in them want to leave any way they can. Have you ever read about Cubans risking their lives just to show up on our shores with nothing? Or is that just doctored video produced by the cia? Hey at least our feelings on Chomsky are the same.... |

I hear what you are trying to say but I feel it's less applicable lately and lately is when I started complaining. The United States has become a much less desirable country to escape to or to continue to live in since the election was stolen in 2000 then again in 2004 and especially since the Paul Wolfowitz doctrine has been put into effect. Things are different now. No one looks up to America anymore. The people living in this country have become so ignorant about anything that doesn't flash across their tv screen we're a joke around the world.

again kok your facts are nefarious at best. what is your proof the election was stolen? Pleased dont link me to some youtube video you find credible. Give me the facts. Not only did the democratic party state "Despite the problems on election day, there is no evidence John Kerry won the state of Ohio." This is from the democrats. As far as Florida, the anti-bush new york times states that Bush would have won even if the justices had not stepped in. The times did a rcount and Bush still won. |

Okay, trying not to link....errghr struggling arrghgg!!!
Do you know what a "caging list" is?
See the reason I have so many links of this and that and copy and pastes is because I find them necessary to back up what I say. If you highlight the words caging list then select look up in google you can find out one of the main reasons why the elections were stolen.
What did you think of "OutFoxed"?
Gaaaaarraggghhh!! Couldn't do it. No Youtube though!

DEBUNKING 9/11 DEBUNKING: AN ANSWER TO POPULAR MECHANICS AND OTHER DEFENDERS OF THE OFFICIAL CONSPIRACY THEORY
REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION Although Amazon.com does not show the new cover and does not say that it is now selling the Revised and Updated Edition, it is (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/product-description/156656686X/ref=dp_proddesc_0/102-6110563-6125762?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books).
This new edition contains several new things, including:
More quotations from former military officers who call the official conspiracy theory impossible. A report on Rudy Giuliani’s problematic response to a group of activists who asked him, with the camera running, how he knew that the Twin Towers were going to collapse.
Much stronger evidence that the two alleged phone calls from Barbara Olson on Flight 77 to her husband, then Solicitor General Ted Olson, did not happen. (1. Although Olson finally settled on the claim that his wife had used a seat-back phone, a 2006 letter from American Airlines Customer Service stated that AA Flight 77 had no seat-back phones. 2. The FBI report on phone calls from the four airliners, provided at the Moussaoui trial in 2006, listed only one attempted call from Barbara Olson, which was unconnected and hence lasted “0 seconds.”)
Stronger evidence that the alleged cell phone calls were faked: The most famous of these were the four calls that Deena Burnett reported receiving from her husband, Tom Burnett. She knows that they came from his cell phone, she said, because she saw his Caller ID number. According to the FBI’s report at the Moussaoui trial, however, there were only two cell phone calls from United 93, and they were made at 9:58, shortly before the plane crashed, when it was down to 5,000 feet. The FBI refused to support, therefore, the claim (e.g., by Popular Mechanics) that high-altitude cell phone calls were possible in 2001. Deena Burnett must have been duped. ------------ “After reading David Ray Griffin's previous books on the subject, I was over 90% convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. Now, after reading Debunking 9/11 Debunking, I am, I regret to say, 100% convinced.”--John V. Whitbeck, author of The World According to Whitbeck
David Ray Griffin, author of 30 books and professor of philosophy of religion and theology, emeritus, systematically challenges the principal official and semi-official defenses of the standard account of 9/11 events....Throughout the book's 391 pages, including 61 pages of references, Griffin exhibits exceptional skill in detailed scholarly analysis. He concludes with a call to the reader, and all of us, to bring these issues into full public discussion and to expose the truth about 9/11, whatever it may be. Indeed, such "truth" has certainly not yet been revealed due to extensive gaps and contradictions in official theories that he documents in detail.---CHOICE (American Library Association)
“Professor Griffin is the nemesis of the 9/11 cover-up. This new book destroys the credibility of the NIST and Popular Mechanics reports and annihilates his critics."---Paul Craig Roberts, assistant secretary of the US Treasury during the Reagan administration “David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking is a superb compendium of the strong body of evidence showing the official US government story of what happened on September 11, 2001 to be almost certainly a monstrous series of lies. Tragically, the entire course of US foreign and domestic policies since that date has grown out of these almost certain falsehoods. This single book could (and should) provide the basis for the United Nations International Court of Justice, or some specially constituted global body (independent of the US) to investigate with highest priority, and publicly report its findings about, the charge that unknown elements within the US government, and possibly some individuals elsewhere closely allied to the US, caused or contributed to causing the events of September 11 to happen.”---Bill Christison, former senior official of the CIA
An emeritus professor of theology with no previous interest in conspiracy theories, Griffin has dedicated himself since 2003 to the "9/11 truth" movement, a group committed to "exposing the falsity of the official theory about 9/11," and this book is a thorough, highly detailed attempt to do just that. As Griffin aptly notes, "the assumption that conspiracy theories are inherently irrational" has recently taken root in American culture, making any attack on the official government record instantly dismissible, but Griffin takes to the difficult task with solid reasoning and true zeal. All but the most dogmatic readers will find Griffin's evidence-from the inconsistencies between NORAD tapes and the 9/11 Commission Report to rigorous exploration into the physics of the collapse-detailed and deeply unnerving. For instance, Griffin considers the fact that firefighters were told, five hours before the fact, that building WTC 7 was going to collapse, despite "the fact that WTC 7 was not hit by a plane, that the available photographs show no large fires, and that fire had never caused a steel-frame high-rise to collapse." Another chilling passage looks at the Pennsylvania crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 through the testimony of those first to arrive, who were unanimous in finding "no recognizable plane parts, no body parts." For anyone who doubts the government's truthfulness regarding the WTC terrorist attack, this well-researched volume will give you a trough full of ideas to chew on.”---Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
Considering how the 9-ll tragedy has been used by the Bush administration to propel us into immoral wars again and again, I believe that David Ray Griffin's provocative questions about 9-ll deserve to be investigated and addressed.---Howard Zinn
David Ray Griffin hits another one out of the park by taking on the left gatekeepers and the mass media for the lies and cover-up called "the official story of 9/11/01," which is the greatest conspiracy theory ever perpetrated on the American public. I highly recommend this book for all thinking Americans.---Meria Heller, producer host of the Meria Heller Show

'No one looks up to America anymore..."
No one? That's odd, when I am in the Netherlands, Germany, England I am constantly asked how to get in. I tell them just come and disappear. If we opened our borders tomorrow we would have a billion, at least, people in a month. Although not so much in the European case, most of the people would come for food and clean water. No food and disease water has been the lot of humans forever. Actually, a lot of people would just come for Chlorox. They don't have it and would drink their neighbors crap with it and thought they have gone to heaven. Been there, seen that. You are grossly wrong.
Moving on.
" The people"... (another absolutists and illuminating statement)
"... living in this country have become so ignorant" You don't become ignorant. You just are. You are not knowledgeable and then slip down into a lower state of ignorance.
"... about anything that doesn't flash across their tv screen we're a joke around the world." European, save the Brits, media is a joke. Their TV, Newspapers have no alternative views. Very statist, mono culture. Anyways, in the US, Internet usage, TV channels, money per capita spent on books and magazines all surpass all but a few countries. Furthermore, how are all these ignorant people winning 90 percent of all Nobels? Building both government and private rockets and satellites? And Big Three autos. Why do the Japanese have their designs centers in California? Why do world wide wealthy send their kids here for graduate and undergraduate?
The statements were really a nice mental test, almost perfect in its simplicity. Everything about it was factually false, and easily shown so.
You are not clever or novel. You are sadly and pathetically out of it, and you know it. You need to get out from where you are. I am sorry. Good luck .

Howard Zinn is what you use as a reference. If youre a republican then so is Bloomberg. As far as facts you did not present me with any. All theories that have not been proven. In regards to America is not loved last I checked people were still flowing over the borders in massive numbers. This is all for a chance for a better life which America offers like no other country in the world. The loudest voice of all is the sound of footsteps. People speak loudest with their feet. (Zinn is to history what Bloomberg is to republicans---full of shit) |

Where is Zinn in the "caging list" reference?
People are flowing over our borders and being used here as cheap labor. People working full time construction jobs for minimum wage. What do you suspect that is doing to the middle class?

I'm more than willing to have these discussions without getting too nasty. Is that possible for you folks? Funny how I'm the bad guy when I finally hit back. Which I'm quite capable of doing.
"Thermo" I went to Germany and Italy last year. Although in general people were very pleasant there were quite a few instances were people turned and walked away from us when they realized we were American.

Here's an idea, lets watch "American Blackout" which addresses in detail the stolen elections and discuss it's good points or bad points. Is that too much to ask?
This may freeze up around the 25 minute mark. It appears that you can advance further by clicking on one of the screen shots in the lower right.

The name fits. I've read that Yastrzemski, while a great player, was an owners-puppet and took the position that Curt Flood was ruining the game with free agency.
I never really thought of my screen name as my identity but you probably do. I find people who are grasping for an identity do these things. I bet your answering machine is used as a showcase for how witty you are.
My answering machine message is recorded by my wife, but keep trying.
So, you're not a Red Sox fan? You don't think of that as part of your identity? |

The rest are imaginary?
Who do you like? I'll give you my opinion.
Why would I care about your delusional opinion?
It doesn't matter because I already know who we will both be voting for in 2008.
Clinton/Obama
Unless of course by some miracle Paul was to make it that far.

Cheap labor or not they still came here to better their lives. Some will always stay as cheap labor, others will become business owners. Again history. This country still represents opportunity more than anywhere else. Actually Zinn was not a caging reference. Just the fact you would mention his name as a valid source shows little respect or grasp of history.

I think the whole influx of Mexicans is being allowed because of "Globalization" and as a means to destroy the middle class which is the ruling class because of it's voting numbers. the middles class was an accidental by product of the industrial revolution. I maintain that the sovereignty of The United States will be destroyed as the world moves toward it's one world government goal.
I don't know much about Howard Zinn. I have a book by him that a friend of mine gave me. I started reading it but put it down for another.
I posted a 9/11 email I just received because the guy in the video that "thermo" posted recommended reading the popular mechanics piece debunking 9/11 conspiracies. I think Griffin's book would be a good read for anyone using the popular mechanics article as proof. "Trying to gleam truth from many sources" if I may use your term.

If youve read Marx you dont need to read zinn. He is a hero to eddie vedder, choamsky and the like. He feels America has always been evil. His history is nothing more than class struggle. (marx) |
