Anthrax unlikelihood by Chris D. Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK So after Bruce Ivins commits suicide they conveniently find, years after the fact, cultured anthrax spores in his possession that match the processed powder used in the letters. I suppose they found it in the fridge next to the ketchup and mustard gas. That's the kind of thing you'd want to get rid of, not just because it's incriminating evidence but because it's goddamned ANTHRAX! Would you want that multiplying in your home?! Makes me wonder if Ivins left the customary two suicide notes with at least one confession where he spells his own name wrong? What I find most interesting about pinning the anthrax attacks on Ivins is that the FBI screwed their chance to blame an attack on America on terrorists and maintain the thin illusion of credibility. Instead they hound a government employee who years before warned that a rogue state might have been planning such an attack. I guess the next time there's an attack on America we'll know why there wasn't any warning: everybody's going to be too worried about having it pinned on them. Almost makes you think the government wants its employees to make sure they keep their mouths shut no matter what the situation is. Be it terrorist attack and faulty intelligence or mass firings and stealth policymaking. Dangerous days to be a whistle-blower. Chris D.  It happens weekly, or daily by Dillon Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK I have you set as my home page but that could change. Your page takes up to a week to update, why is this? Dillon It's a philosophical choice, updating the main page just once a week. It makes me crazy how the 24-hour news cycle can 'forget' even the hugest news after it's been through the cycle once, so we choose to "linger" and try to slow things down. Our intent is to keep the news that's most important from getting buried and forgotten just because it was yesterday or the day before. Helen & Harry
Remember this... by Kathy Fisher Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Whenever they want sympathy and world attention they take the battle to the water. I wrote two years ago that the next False Flag event would not be on American land but on the sea. Yes watch, wait and see. I know I'm right. They've done this before and they are getting ready to do it again. Lots of lives lost, and then it a world at war, coupled with a Depression like the world has never seen. Kathy Fisher (klfisher@webtv.net) A symptom of Alzheimer's by JR Mooneyham Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK McCain is a doddering old fool
Isn't this a symptom of Alzheimer's or some other mental problem? JR Mooneyham (www.jrmooneyham.com/) A rough millennium for the mentally lazy by Herb Ruhs, MD Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK It has been a rough millennium for the mentally lazy. Forced to accept that Earth wasn't even the center of the Universe, much less the center of the solar system; Forced to accept that internal mental processes condition what we experience as "objective reality"; Forced to abandon ideas of racial superiority (big rearguard action there): And now thinking people are forced to give up the idea of that special covenant with God that we believed placed us in the position to dominate and endlessly exploit the Earth and all its life. Herb Ruhs, MD Fully equipped by the US by SirJ Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Re Assume it's a lie by Angry Annie The Georgian army is based on NATO arms, or in other words, American weapons. This is why there are American "trainers" in Georgia. It's US weaponry and who better to teach them to use our weapons than our troops? From globalsecurity.org:"In early 2002 the United States launched a two-year, $64 million program, 'Train and Equip,' to create three battalions and one motorized company meeting NATO standards. Following the successful conclusion of that program in 2004, a follow-on initiative was launched with comparable funding to train a further 4,000 Georgian servicemen." A battalion is around 1,000 men, so the three battalions mentioned above would be about 3,000 men. Add the further 4,000 men mentioned in the last sentence and you have 7,000 which is about one third to one half of the Georgian army, fully equipped by the US. So our forces don't have to be fighting there. The Georgian army is modeled after the US army. Our weapons and Georgian manpower are doing the job for us! It's fun to have Georgia be a thorn in the side of Russia, viewed from the perspective of a US hawk. Think of it as revenge for the Cuban missile crisis back in 1962. SirJ What's going on in South Ossetia, Georgia? by Marie K. Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK As for what matters the most to Russia, I actually don't think it is the BTC pipeline. They can still get their own projects going. There are enough customers for both the BTC and Russian pipelines. Thus, I assume that it IS the missile defense shield and the possibility of Georgia joining NATO and further encircling Russia with NATO countries that matters. Marie K. Gerald Ford: FBI informant by Rebecca Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Ford kept FBI informed of Warren Commission deliberations In other words, future President Ford was an FBI informant. Rebecca Tall tales told by Heidi Papademetriou Monday, August 11, 2008 PERMANENT LINK Re Truth is a target meant for extermination by Herb Ruhs, MD Spot on, Doctor DoSoMuch (opposite of Doctor Dolittle). We are fed so many lies from so many sources, sources we know are fiction (movies and TV), other sources we know are spinning or lying (Fox News, or gov't or corporate press offices), and especially by sources that pretend to present the objective facts (A.P., ABC, NBC, CBS), with so few of the lies ever unveiled or even challenged... what it all adds up to is, everything about our understanding of current events is manipulated data, tall tales told. Who knows what to believe really? Heidi Papademetriou |
