I swear I still don’t know if this is gonna fly, (seems like sometimes my name above the comment box is blue, and sometimes it’s sort of this grey brown, so I don’t know if that means anything.

Anyway. I think I might be back. So, we’ll call this another test. I can receive PM’s.

Glad to hear from you all. Things are really hairy huh?

I also wanted to answer the question about Ashcroft, since I’ve had the same question myself..why can’t they just ASK him?

But, from what I read on another site, (and I’ll try to find it), Ashcroft really didn’t know that much about the spy program, because the thugs had apparently kept a bunch of stuff unavailable to him. (yeah, I know...sounds just as outlandish as all the rest.)

But, I’ll see if I can find that piece, once I figure out if this is working for me again.

Meantime, here’s another article that I just came across, that I’m hoping you all will have time for.
Scary, but informative.

I have reported Godsend repeatedly.  I also emailed administrators.  It appears they took out lilmamzer but why not Godsend?  I don’t see him posting anywhere else, though, do you?

Perhaps in retaliation, the tricksters are reporting us, too--have you thought of that?

It would appear that I still cannot post on this thread. Purplewolf, I’ll try to send you a PM, since I’ve not yet been able to respond (on the site) to a very important post that you made on the “R” card a couple of days ago. Matter of fact, it COULD be my attempted response to that, which has caused my blacklisting. (I’m still not sure, so it’s just as good an explanation as any other.)

I doubt this will get through either, but I keep trying. (some make it, but most don’t)

I do believe that the bush bunch is watching.Several times I have tried to post and it comes up error in my comment-there was none.Opened another windowand did find comment posted thatjust claimed it couldn’t post. Go figure,Hi Cyrena, been looking for you.Hey Farmertx you joined truthdig 1 day before by birthday.Unfortunately the weed has his the same day, but he keeps changing what year he was born, one year he is younger than me then the next he is older.He can’t seem to get it right. He is such an embarrassment that I have thought about changing my birthday legally so it would not be associated with weed.It just ruins the whole day for me.

These guys must have been really been worried that Ashcroft might have said something “TRUTHFUL” while under say maybe pain medication and they needed to CYA( cover their asses) or their whole house of cards might come down. Otherwise why all the in-your-face tactics to a post-op patient.

And whatever happened to the “transparency” that the weed claimed he was going to do in goverment earlier this year? Does he mean transparent as in clear or see thru or transparent as in invisible, which seems to be the norm for this bunch. Keep it hidden and secret. As in the X-files “Trust No One”.

I emailed TD’s webmaster and editor, asking what is up? Naturally, no response.
Meanwhile Godsend is running rampant on another thread. If anyone needed to be blanked out, that would be the first pick.
Haven’t heard back from Cyrena yet either. She said she would take some time off and see what happens.
Meanwhile, I noticed that no new threads have come on line either.

It only takes a few to ruin a forum for everyone--and destroy a good website.  I’m thinking of two posters in particular who posted excessively about satan and devil snouts. 

I’d just be patient and let them moderate as best they can. Truthdig’s an excellent outlet featuring news that the traditional media ignores, buries, and never follows up on.  And it has some excellent reporters.  Did you read Inside the Data Mine?  Incredible level of information in that section. 

If we lose a few posts while they purge their site of scam artists, I think in the long run it’s worth the sacrifice.  As for other blogs, I bet those two will find them as well and try to bring them down, too.

If truthdig is censoring, it wouldn’t be Cyrena that they’d censor.
Never has she been as off the wall as some who have posted here.
I’d think more along the line of a bug/hacker.
One comment of hers, responding to my comment was posted.
She sent a PM stating that she was concerned and not sure who to blame.
Sorta like I know I’m paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?
Hopefully, this willall straighten out and be explained by Truthdig. Otherwise, there are other blogs.

farmertx--I hope Truthdig is doing some moderating, finally.  I don’t want to read anymore articles about the devil’s snouts, etc.  Clearly a couple of posters were intent on ruining Truthdig for everyone--a deliberate act of trashing a good website.

I agree--I’ve always enjoyed Cyrena’s posts, too.  I think they want us to stay on topic.

The White House hasn’t been this machiavellian since the Nixon days, and I believe the Bush White House exceeds that intrigue greatly.  That Mueller had to black out most of his notes says a great deal...and his account ominously ends with a meeting called by Cheney. 

If anyone saw the Bourne Ultimatum, you observed data mining in action.  When the reporter mentioned Blackbriar over his cell phone, it triggered a surveillance program that almost instantly identified the caller and allowed CIA to listen to the phone call, tap his phones, go through all his voice and email messages.  And people think this is simply fiction, futuristic. 

I never liked Ashcroft, but I commend him for sticking to his guns re concern over the legality of this program and as sick as he was.  I can’t believe they went to his hospital room and tried to bully a post-operative patient.  Given the rapid succession of meetings afterwards with all the top players, the domestic surveillance program is obviously of the utmost importance to these guys.  And they don’t want to talk about it.

Thx farmertx, I was wondering if something was going weird with my system, since most of Cyrena’s comments are blank. My first guess would be some sortof bug in the truthdig software, malicious hacking would be the second possibility. Our sponsors server doesn’t appear to be very good -often it doesn’t load, they probably need some sort of upgrade.

Cyrena
Big Hacker is watching. Ain’t worried about Big Brother or we’d all had knocks on the door by now.
Still.
You and Doug both make interesting and intelligent posts, as others do as well, with a couple of exceptions. And those two know who they are.
Hope Truthdig can get to the bottom of this and prevent a recurrence.
Good Luck.

Not real sure I understood what you mean on this one.

=======================
Well Farmertx,

I’m not sure you’re gonna get this one either, because it’s a very mysterious thing. The reason nothing is there, (which is why you didn’t understand it) is because nearly all of my posts have been deleted!!

Yes, something is up. I wasn’t aware of it until Douglas sent me a private message. Most of his stuff is gone as well.

Kinda creepy, eh?

So, we’ll give this a test run, and see if they let it go through. I’m honestly not sure what’s up, but it’s a semi-concern.

The people who have an inkling of the truth are so dedicated to the Shrubs’ brand of neo-conservatism that they will never talk openly.
===============================

Maybe so, Farmertx.

I’m inclined to believe that it is so deeply sinister and putrid that any talk is the same as suicide. It’s been a selling of their souls to the devil.

He knows how unethical this all is. That’s why we don’t get to see the notes of the meeting where ALL of them were ready to resign, because they knew how much of a slam this would be to the principles of the Constitution. If nothing else, they knew THEY could be prosecuted.

Remember, Nixon’s guys did some time.

So, it’s not over.

Misplaced loyalty can be a killer, no doubt.
It must have been situations like this that caused Der Karl to start issuing instructions to the Brown One on how to rule, once the Brown One was appointed AG.
We will never know what Presidential Findings the Shrub has signed and what they have done.
We sure won’t find out at Shrubs’ library.
How any responsible Presidential scholar can expect to find any semblance of the truth in what paper’s are opened to researchers is a mystery.
The people who have an inkling of the truth are so dedicated to the Shrubs’ brand of neo-conservatism that they will never talk openly.

And even NOW, Mueller is still “reluctant” to tell the full tale.

It would appear that they had to pry this out of him. What must be the prize for this kind of loyalty?
