Giuliani

Just in case anyone forgot that Rudy Giuliani was the mayor of New York on Sept. 11, 2001, or wondered why a former mayor thinks he’s qualified to be president, the candidate has developed something of a “9/11” tick. It turns out he might not be entirely conscious of it.

Sept 11, 1973.

The day a USA FUNDED military coup succeeded against the democratically elected presidency of Salvador Allende, which led to the death of Allende and a military dictatorship that tortured and killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, one of which being Victor Jara, one of the most popular folk musicians of Latin America.

Yes, we remember September 11, not as political talking point.

rudy is a f***ing cheeseball. The scary thing is he has a very good chance of winning. The line has been drawn in the sand. People won’t continue to vote for the same and that is what the Democrats advocate. Republicans are voting for even more radical changes towards the right, democrats are voting for the status quo with a slight rightist divergence. The 70% of the population that never votes won’t get out of their seats for hilary rudy obama coke pepsi texaco conoco philips kbr ge etc. They will only get off their chairs for the truth and for a REAL change.

So wake me up when it’s all over.

Rudy “Mr. 9/11” Guliani. A human disaster whose political platform is a based on a disaster. A worthy contestant on the “Gong Show” called American politics.

Connect the dots to see how a Rudy Presidency would turn out to be a F**king Mega Disaster.

Can you imagine if Rudy became president?  We would have another four years of hearing about the tragedy of 9/11, the day that changed the world was 9/11, the day the music died was 9/11, we’re bombing Norway because of 9/11, he’s winning the war against soup kitchens and old people because of 9/11…

A possibly helpful aspect of Giuliani’s connection with 9/11 is that it keeps the many questions and suspicions about that day in the front of people’s minds.

Slowly but surely, more Americans and people internationally seem to be considering that there is more to the 9/11 attacks than has been revealed so far.

Food for thought in the articles ...

It’s too bad we don’t hold Politicians accountable to the same degree we hold our military personnel.  I’m sure someone out there has heard the term “Not on my watch.” If a Commanding Officer of a US warship were to run it aground or take on enemy fire (Sept 11th just to say it one more time), his or her career would be over.  Only in American politics do we favor pity or feeling sorry for someone more than accountability and responsibility. We re-elected Bush and now Rudolph might be our next president. IMO both of them should have been fired by the citizens of the US.  Scary stuff.
