  • Why didn't Bush testify under oath and

    why did he need Dick Cheney holding his hand during his closed testimony? This subject pisses me off. Refuse to accept any lie of this size.

    Another writer had mentioned WTC7's collapse being reported well ahead of time by the BBC. The satellite image fades as someone realizes that the BBC reporter is reading news that hasn't quite happened yet... that the WTC7 is still visible over the shoulder of the reporter...

    Bush and Cheney knew what was scheduled to take place. So did those five Mossad/IDF agents arrested on 9/11/01 after being witnessed high-fiving one another while videotaping the WTC collapse. You remember the ones that alleged worked for that front company based in New Jersey, the one whose owner fled the country (back to Israel) leaving in a big, big rush.

    I mean, honestly, how large a mountain of details would you need to see before you accepted that 9/11/01 was scripted? Since waterboarding isn't torture according to Bush the Lesser, let's give Dick Cheney a little Gitmo vacation and see what kind of pertinent information we can extract from him.

    Mccain probably knows some stuff we don't, especially since he has been consulting with Israel lately, and the Mossad know a thing or two. Whether you believe it or not is another thing.

    McCain has been programmed and is parroting what his Neocon/Zionist puppeteers have programmed him to parrot. Did you catch the use of the word "fealty" in regard to whether or no Barrack H. Obama is loyal enough to Israel?

    Israel is a FOREIGN COUNTRY. Israel is a foreign country WITH FAR TOO MUCH INFLUENCE OVER THE UNITED STATES. I can't break it down into smaller pieces -- I realize that most people have been brainwashed since before birth into believing that Israel's interests have anything to do with the interests of the United States and that is simply not the case, nor has it ever been.

    The USA is a big, stupid lummox with an evil Zionist imp on its shoulder, whispering in its ear. You know that Hollywood scumbag-vampire type that's being restrained from accessing Britney Spears via a restraining order? That's what the USA needs -- a restraining order on Israel and Israel agents and Israeli sympathizers in the USA from feeding our politicians dubious information because our politicians are so fucking stupid they may as well be human Etch-a-Sketches.

    JOHN MCCAIN: Here's some news for you. Israel is not our friend. Israel is no one's friend. Israel is the root of all Middle East problems. Crack open a few history books and observe how Israel oozed its way into existence. Ask yourself if 3,990 American soldiers should have been sacrificed for the benefit of Israel.

  • He'd look good in a noose

    If hanging was good enough for Saddam Hussein, it's good enough for Cheney.

    War crimes, usurping the Constitution, his involvement in allowing 9/11/01 to take place... it's difficult to say just which crime Cheney ought to be hung for.

    You ought to hang by the neck until dead, Dick, that's what the American people think.

  • "...his hard-line allies..."

    Is this Neocon-speak for "Israel"? The US is occupying Iraq at the behest of Israel. That fact will remain stark as history is slowly written.

    How is it that US foreign policy and the US military is whoring itself to another country, to a foreign country?

    I'm sure that John McCain doesn't want his "fealty" to Israel questioned, as was Barrack Obama's the other day. His fealty to Israel.

    And I have a renewed general dislike, not for Ms. Crosley, exactly, but for Salon running this piece. Ms. Crosley apparently has connections in literary circles in NYC, began work as a publicist for a division of Random House in NYC @ 22, is class-president pretty... her writing seems half-baked, but since she's SO pretty and knows SO many of the right people... give me a break. It sounds as if it's been rather smooth sailing.

    Who wants a fluffy, pretty kitten in an alley full of ordinary cats? Ooh, an annointed one. How lovely for her. Meanwhile, back on Earth, all of the non-annointed ones, you know, the smaller strawberries passed over in favor of the big, luscious one...

    Again, it's not her. But why is this story on Salon?

  • 9/11/01 <-- hinge-o-evil

    [Read the article: Is Briana Waters a terrorist?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    It's a good old-fashioned witch hunt. Thank God reason has been thrown out the window. A signature at the bottom of a secret, blood-stained document is all the evidence needed to convict. Society must be protected. Lawn order.

    Did the "Arab terrorists" with their physics-defying magic carpet technology successfully blow the veneer of civilization off the US in one fell, if mythical, swoop?

    That's where to aim the silver bullet: the herd was spooked by the sleight-of-hand on 9/11/01. They'll buy anything now. They'll allow anything.

    How many more Kafka-esque prosecutions? When do we get to full-on thoughtcrime? You do love Big Brother, don't you?

    You can't be a waif at 40, ask Michael Jackson. And what's with the two older guys dressed in t-shirts and jeans and those fucking 1990 narrow glasses yakking like two straight film reviewers? Hai, we're hip, we're hip, we're gay, happy and hip, yes, that's us... ooga. Let's dish. Gay without being fun. Or edgy. Or entertaining.

    Comeback? More like "whatever happened to..?"

    Freedom -- Liberty
    Leave me alone
    To find my own way home

    I've smoked for decades, taking occasional breaks to see if I was missing anything. Six months or two years later the only thing I noticed was that I was annoyed a lot of the time. I wrapped up college, enjoyed 20 years on the day shift, married, divorced, married again, had healthy, smart kids...

    It's alarming that anyone would recommend any of the mindfuck psychohypnotic medications that half the country appears to be on -- are you people insane? Enhancing some corporation's bottom line is better than one hit now and then? That's nuts.

    "Wine is a useful servant but a cruel master." If you're overdoing anything, back off... common sense.
