Leefeller—I dunno.But I think that women have more equal rights in Scandanavia than they do here…but, I think everything is better in Scandanavia.

I KNOW everything is better in Valhalla!! skol!

Valhalla, seems to be the place, just was not sure of the spelling. For what it is worth, the Vikings gave women rights to take over inherit the land if the husband passed on to Valhalla.  We are talking many years before the goat headers manual was written. Women s rights were in place back then with the Vikings, so what happened?

Leefeller—I thought that they called it Valhalla!I am looking forward to it!

BYW—I was raised Republican..I guess there’s no accounting for assimilation huh? j/k I only hated ONE of my parents, too.

Actually it goes per oral testimony from a house of Burgesses speech in 1775. 

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

Another favorite:

“Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles”.

Clearly, christian96 doesn’t appear to like competition.

Thanks heavens for small favours…....
I repeat, religion is the greatest hoax every pulled on human kind.  Please feel free to believe that bad science fiction and don’t worry about my eternity.  With a little luck I will be fertilizer for a nice plant.  You should be so lucky.

Magginkat—-The socalled “rapture”  is a hoax that
made some people a lot of money.  Judging by your
comments I don’t think you have to worry about
spending eternity with me.  Unless you repent and
are welcomed into the fold for ETERNITY!  Whew, that
is a long time!

If one is to spend eternity with 27 Virgins or Christian96, seems more a choice of what religion would prefer to choose?

Eternity or the afterlife as the Vikings called it, may be more preferred by me, having my sword, my slaves a boat and booze,seems most real? Guess the idea is to choose ones religion for the perks.

One must realize, most people do not get to choose a religion, they assimilate religion like osmosis, sort of like being gay or Republican, no reason involved.

A final question - -  How many readers here would look forward to spending an eternity with Christian96?

Personally, I cannot fathom a worse hell!

ATTN: Christian96—-Religion is the greatest hoax ever pulled on humankind.  But just in case you are correct here is a web site that you should not miss.

http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com/

Atheists have kindly offered to care for Christians’ pets after the Rapture. According to their brochure - All atheists signed up by Eternal Earth-Bound Pets are self-confessed sinners and blasphemers, guaranteeing they will be left behind when the chosen are selected. For $110, they promise lifetime care for almost all domestic pets if their owners are transported to heaven within the next ten years. Just keep in mind….No refunds!

How great is that!

christian96, now your being ignorant of me.

Ourraged—-We are fine. As long as we can
confess our ignorance we are a much better
person for it.

Patrick Henry—-Give you liberty or give you
death.  It will be the latter.  Followed by
the judgment.  I’ll spare you what follows
the judgment.

Re: christian96

Your comment: “You are ignorant!  There is nothing wrong with being ignorant.”

Wonderful.  Now we’re on the same page!  It’s okay with me….. is it okay with you?  I prefer it this way, as I suppose you prefer it your way.  Are we all good then?

By christian96, September 1 at 5:42 pm #

So you know the big picture huh?

I don’t take much faith in those who proselytize out of the blue and insinuate that only they know the truth and the way and rest of us mere mortals are ignorant to that fact.

Agent for jesus your not.

rfidler—-As long as there exists ignorant people
such as yourself about spiritual forces controling your life it is my DUTY to educate you about the
truth.  Rejection, denial, and ridicule will not
stop the evil forces.  Only the truth.  Wake up,
smell the roses, and enjoy a trip into eternity.

Speaking of Science Fiction, this from my latest Harper’s - “The US military reported progress in its cyborg-insect program and in building robots that can power themselves by eating the bodies of those they kill: the developers have promised that all EATR robots will be told not to eat people.”

So comforting to know that this monstrous invention and who knows what else are not only absorbing 50% of our discretionary federal budget, we fully intend to be waging wars far into the future, the more horrifying and horrific the better.

christian96:

Oh, please! Listen to NZDoug and grow up! This really isn’t the blog for you.

NZDoug—-You are ignorant!  There is nothing wrong
with being ignorant.  All people are.  I’m ignorant
about nuclear physics.  But your particular type of
ignorance is dangerous.  After your test on earth is
finished you risk eternal damnation.  Can’t you see
that all people have committed sins?  Why do you
think that condition exists?  Your ONLY vacine against eternal damnation is to accept the fact that
Yeshua(Jesus) came to earth to suffer and die for
your(our) sins.  Once you accept him as your personal saviour, begin to study his teachings, and
live by them you are vacinated against eternal
damnation.  You will receive eternal life.  The life
after your test on earth will be without pain, sorrow, and suffering.  Satan has blinded your eyes
against the vacination.  Ask Yeshua to send the
Holy Spirit to help you do the will of Yeshua and
overcome the evil designs of Satan.  It is the most
important decision in your life.  WAKE UP!

Christian 96,
is it true that there are religeous nutters in America?
Did the Easter Bunny die for our sins?
Grow up and get real.

The Pentagon was broken up into 5 “wedges” each totally gutted, asbestos removed and refurbished.

We did the basement initially.

WTOP is just a news station which obstensibly, spouts Israel first reporting with daily commentary from JTA, JWC etc.  The muslims are always portrayed as terrorists and there is never anything critical of Israel reported.  The editorials are as right wing as they come and I would put WTOP on a par with FOX news.  Their traffic reporting is pretty good though.  Too bad this is what our congress critters listen to 24/7 with little in the way of viable competition in the Washington DC radio market.

I can’t tell you why the government responded the way it did, but I’m sure many, many reacted as they should have and weren’t “in on it”. as you imply.

Listen to alot of Glenn Beck do you?  I watched him once along time ago and usually surf through his BS when it presents itself.

PatrickHenry:

I don’t know what the “Wedge 1 Project” was but you make it sound so mysterious and cool.

Everyone knows the Pentagon was under the rennovation project you allude to and they say it saved a lot of lives. (Why would the government plan an attack on itself and at the same time undertake a construction project designed to minimize its effects?)

WTOP is just a news station. You must mean WMAL.

If the government set up the whole thing, why would they send F-16s to STOP the airliner ostensibly meant for the Capitol Building!!

“I love my country but I don’t trust my government.”- you sound like Glenn Beck.

By rfidler, August 31 at 8:15 am #

I was one of the Project Managers for the Pentagon Wedge 1 project whose men had pulled off that job 2 weeks prior to the plane hitting.  Only a small contingent of construction workers were in the Navy offices performing punch list items.

I was in my office listening to WTOP (that bastion of zionist blather) when the 1st plane hit the WTC, after the second plane hit I took notice and the reporter stated that a third plane was being shadowed by (2) F-16’s in Pennsylvannia and was headed for Washington DC.  It was then reported that they shot down the airliner with missles.  This was real time and there was no time for coverup stories, which of course came later.

A couple of months prior to the plane hitting, a change order came out reinforcing the E ring wall against blast, the windows were changed out at $10,000 apiece and 4x4 channel was erected on the inside against the outer wall in a cross bracing fashion.  Someone should be commended for their foresight.

The Phoenix project had all repairs completed within a year with hundreds of workers working 24/7 to complete the rework. 

I believe the entire 9/11 event should be reinvestigated as the 15 million spent was woefully inadequate and the investigations conducted by many private (therefore more professional) interests have uncovered information not available at the initial inquest. 

I love my country but I don’t trust my government.

rfidler—As I say, I can understand it being a “sore ” personal point with you.

I would diasagree with you about Folktruther and ardee, whom (you can ask!) I dont always agree with…it is good that you want to debate “the other side”, but, surely you dont expect alot of sympathy for the pentagon at a “left-leaning” website…you also surely know that people that dont trust the govt are not specifically aiming any vitriolic remarks towards your deceased friends.

There are alot of very smart people who post here , and, many I disagree with very strongly. Everyone is a serious thinker—they just think differently than you do!

KDel:

I wasn’t accusing you of being one of the “truthers”. Sorry if you got that impression. Thanks for the condolences.

On a broader theme, the reason I hang out on this website is because I really do want to know what the “other half” thinks, and how they think. I’ve identified a few (very few) serious thinkers whom I’m trying to get into rational debates with, but with limited success. Most are dilettants who resort to immediate personal attacks, a la Folktruther. Some, like ardee, don’t think I’m serious. With you, I got off on the wrong foot. I know you and I are worlds apart on so many levels. Yet I want to get your serious, non-hyperventilated opinions about the things you care about.

rfidler—One—thank you, no I am not, but, thats the good ole USA for you…

Second, that is precisely what I was asking—if you were THERE, I thought maybe you KNOW exactly what (the f*ck)happened and could dispell some rumors I’ve had floating around in my head, considering all the ones I’ve heard! I dont assume that , just because we disagree, that we would disagree on facts. I am sorry for your losses. I guess that would make one very touchy about the issue.

You are assuming that I think neo-cons bombed the Pentagon and WTC—I never said any such thing. Unless I see proof that our own govt did it, I an inclined to believe that they didnt (notice I said DIDNT—not necessary wouldnt). I am not certain that we will ever know what really happened—I am not certain that the govt does. But, no, I dont think that the Pentagon bombed themselves. I sure as hell wasnt accusing your friends of being ‘in on it”, not you. But, like I say, I do understand that it would be a touchy subject.

That being said, the Pentagon is not a civilian building. I would never advocate violence on civilians, or anyone, except in self defense.

Sedating the masses to accept programed violence to be a similar pleasant daily experience,  as a drive in the park does seem what movies support. Spewing death and destruction for those popcorn eaters.  What of love and peace and of course the always unacceptable sex, one needs alleged maturity for that.

sex is taboo, the big no, no sort of don’t ask don’t tell of reality, another hypocrisy sponsored by a sick society.  Killing is good and acceptable, sex is not to be talked about, seen or heard.  Of course there is porn, but what of reality?

Funny, in the end most people end up preforming sex, but not the death and destruction, so the games of life promote death, as a seemingly bible thumping, gun toting nation who can induce shock and awe, but cannot come close to showing compassion or enlightenment, seems very sick and shallow.  In the end, one only needs to follow the money.

KDelphi:

First, I hope you’re feeling better and that you’re getting the care you need.

Second, “Were you working at the Pentagon on 9/11? WTF happened?” Bear with me.

All summer long I had been flying Flight 77 from Dulles to LA. In September, I needed to change my schedule, so I flew out of National Airport to Dallas and back instead. At 8:10AM on Tuesday 9/11/01 I took off out of National and the departure path took me over Dulles. I looked down and saw flight 77 taxing out for takeoff. Charles Burlingame, a friend of mine, was the Captain of flight 77. His copilot and several of the flight attendants were also friends. He picked that schedule so he could meet his family in LA to celebrate his birthday and go to a LA Angels game that night. A little over an hour later Burlingame, and a hundred or so more people in the plane and at the Pentagon were dead. By that time, I was cruising over Little Rock, Arkansas. Air traffic control came on the radio and told everybody they had to land NOW- no reason- just land. It wasn’t until we landed at Memphis with a planeload of pissed off passengers that we learned the reason why. As we waited for a gate to unload our passengers, we heard that the WTC towers had fallen.

I went to four funerals the following week for my fellow crewmembers. Their coffins were not empty. The airplane that was flight 77 is no longer in the American Airlines inventory.

You tell me WTF happened. Let’s leave aside for a minute who hijacked the plane and why. We can argue that til the cows come home.

What REALLY puts me in a blind rage are the flaming lunatic morons out there who say there was no airplane wreckage, no passenger bodies at the Pentagon site. That it was a missile fired by the neocons for chrissake!

Just think about how many people would have to be involved in a conspiracy to create an alternate set of facts other than those of that day. It’s said that the ability to keep a secret decreases exponentially with the number of people charged with keeping it. I believe that.

KDelphi, where are my friends if they’re not in cemeteries in Virginia and Maryland?

NZDoug—-According to the Bible, Satan is the prince
of the air.  Which flag are you going to be waving?
We’ll be watching?

I just want to go to an aIR ShOw and wAvE my fLag

Thank you Mr. Sirota.  I don’t know what I would have done a few years ago without your writings and radio work.

Todd, I would usually never advocate corporal punishment, but it sounds like your
son needs a good smack or two. Or at least smash that brainwashing video game
system of his. You only have yourself to blame for allowing him to play a mindless
game that basically trains kids to kill Arabs. You are part of the problem, raising a
little shit like that.

My 14 year old son is an XBox addict… he put his own face in the game.  It’s amazingly realistic, you have to find a 14 year-old to show you this stuff… 

Rainbow 6 is a first person shooter game that lets kids replace the face of their killer with their own face by uploading a picture from their cellphone..  now they can all recognize their friends while they are talking and playing on the internet. XBox gives them easy multiconferencing, they do it all day.  Why don’t WE have that????

Rainbow 6 is basically a military game, like most of the other FP shooter games.  It features a bunch of killers running wild in some city in the desert killing “terrorists”.  And all the players faces and hair, etc. look exactly like kids in the neighborhood, attached to these beefy special forces carrying RPGs etc..  When I try to talk with my son, for the last several years he just says shutup, I’m busy, go away, etc. you faggot, you hippie, etc. 

When you come to Seattle, count on me for volunteer support on publicity, lighting and sound and videography.

rfidler—the link I gave to Rebel Reports is Jeremy Scahill’s website. You can choose not to believe it, but you cant say i didnt site a source.

I think he is the bravest military investigative reporter we have going.

Were you working at the Pentagon on 9/11? WTF happened?

rfidler, you’re absolutely right i was totally out of line and apologize for it. He’s an investigative reporter whose written several books an article about Blackwater and other corruption by private contractors in Iraq. I will mind my manners and apply appropriate internet etiquette unless the occasion requires otherwise. Jeremy can be accessed on the net. As for the Terminator Drones, if you’re on the ground in AfPak and you’re about or have been attacked by a drone, it’s a Terminator Drone. It’s called empathy.

bogi:

Who is Jeremy Scahill? And since when is asking you to support an assertion a “psycho tactic”? You obviously live in an echo chamber surrounded by unquestioning bootlickers.

rfidler, it was reported by Jeremy Scahill. Just because you don’t know it doesn’t mean it’s unknown, it’s a known known, according to Rummy. Seems like you watch FOX and apply their 10th rate psycho tactics. Go for the 1st rate psycho’s check out Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and Goering on the internet, they were 1st rate psycho’s.

Marketing for a “Few Good Men” goes far beyond the
violence depicted in computer games.  If I had the
time and desire I would study the violence depicted
in movies and television programs during a time the
Pentagon is searching for a “Few Good Men.”  It wouldn’t suprise me if the Pentagon was somehow
behind violent sporting events such as football
since they are attempting to produce violent fighting men to go kill men, women, and chilren in
foreign nations in order for multi-national corporations to get their products into those nations.  However, if you notice the advertisers
during violent sporting events you will discover
they are usually pushing their beer products.  Mothers against drunk driving should expose the
devious beer companies who try to associate “manhood” with drinking beer.  Just more
deception from the business world.

In the all-volunteer force, the military is frequently having to run remedial reading programs just to bring the current crop of high school grads up to a basic level of literacy. So appealing to people who, if they can’t read very well, can at least interact with a games console, makes some sense.

There was a time when recruiting appealed to a sense of duty. Now, it’s a matter of “what’s in it for me?” We have Reservists and Guard troops who want to get out (after multiple years of drawing a paycheck) because they “only joined to get money for college and job training, not leaving my family and maybe getting killed).

Was it idiotic to declare war on a tactic, and then put poorly equipped troops into locations that had as much to do with the War on Terror as they did the War on Drugs, the War on Poverty, the War on Ignorance, the War on Cancer, the War on Inflation, and the War on Those rude People Who Hold Loud Cell-Phone Conversations in the Middle of a Restaurant? OF COURSE IT WAS!!

Does trying to get people who are less likely to repeat the errors of the past 6 years make some sense? I would submit it does. At the very least, it couldn’t hurt.

“Our military minds are hooked on excessive profit…”

I spent over twenty years surrounded by military minds and I can guarantee you that “profit” let along “excessive profit” was the last thing on their minds. The Pentagon doesn’t make money, it spends it, and only after Congress gives it to them to spend. If the Pentagon is full of war profiteers, then I’m suing! I didn’t get my cut while I was in it!

The pentagon never has to work within a budget, as does most of the rest of the world. The military contractors put on luxurious junkets and show exotic toys at exorbitant prices..but you already know all this. Try to focus though I understand you set a difficult task for yourself defending the indefensible.

“Our citizens are coerced by appeals to testosterone.” Coerced into doing what? Allow me to hold you to the standard you ask of others- give me proof of your assertion.

Methinks you refuse to think….This is such an obvious answer that I believe you disingenuous pretending not to understand flag waving appeals to uber-patriotism, demonizing the “enemy” and mixing it all up in a brew of “love your country”.

“...the efforts of Scotland Yard to pursue IRA terrorists.” I wonder if the IRA thought that Scotland Yard’s techniques were fair and just.

If you continue to rattle off the mark nonsense no real conversation will be possible. Whatt eh fuck does the IRA, or its freaking opinion have to do with a decision, a legitimate one in my opinion, to use police to defend a nation against terrorist tactics?

Look rfidler If you cannot debate at a level of maturity above that you have so far demonstrated please simply ignore my stuff, I will cretainly return the favor.

Terminator robots are next.

localhero:

How many jet pilots do you know? Can you cite any studies proving your assertion that they are “frighteningly emotionally stunted, arrested adolescents continuing to play soldier”? If you can’t, then shut up.

bogi666:

That there is even such a thing as a “Terminator Drone” is problematic, but for the sake of the discussion, let’s say there is. Please provide proof that Blackwater, or any other private contractor operates them with the mission of murdering people. Otherwise, shut up.

Jet noise. The sound of frighteningly emotionally stunted, arrested adolescents continuing to play soldier long after their peers have, around the age of 8, grown out of such childish pursuits. It’s the sound of freedom all right. The freedom to never grow up.

Make love, not war.

The U.S. government and President Obushama are contracting out murder to firm like Blackwater operating the Terminator Drones. What this does is to nullify the Geneva convention and all the other treaties of conduct the U.S. government has agreed to because atrocities are being outsourced to the private sector which is unaccountable.

ardee:

That seems to be the main difference between cons and libs- whether it’s a military or a law enforcement problem. Our military minds are still hooked on uniforms and battle formations, etc and are flummoxed by locals in pajamas and flip-flops who blow up there toys.

Our military minds are hooked on excessive profit engendered by endless war. Our citizens are coerced by appeals to testosterone.

On the other hand, telling a captured roadside bomber that he has a right to remain silent, yada-yada, can’t really be the answer either. What to do?

A rather dismissive argument for avoiding useless war in favor of good police work. I would recommend that you read about the efforts of Scotland Yard to pursue IRA terrorists as well as the Surete engaging the Algerians. Both were highly successful, far more than were troops on foreign soil ( well Ireland isnt foreign certainly but my point remains.

The problem with police action is that it just isnt profitable enough.

Just watched one of my favorite movies, Blazing Saddles again, my favorite scene is when they describe the towns folks as simple country folks and these folks just do not know any better, then in unison say while laughing “and they are Morons”. We are living in Blazing Saddles,  observe the Limbaugh and Palins of the world to see blatant disconnects from reality, hope is not an option as the Morons fly.

A few comments:

“Skynet” is alive and well.
Robot drones patrol the sky.
Ground based Robot killers are the shock troops.
US will announce scramjet low orbit fighters.
Human deaths are just numbers in the game.
Hypersexed advertising aimed at gamers will work.

But we all know this…don’t we?

I am certain it has been spoken in the halls of the military industrial complex that a shitty economy and private charter shcools (Junior ROTC—yes youre paying for it, uniforms and all—and Obama’s Arne Duncan is pushing for more privitization which creates more
“need” for these progranms in inner cities) will provide enough young recruits.

If that doesnt work,, who needs troops? We can just borrow more money against ourselves and send private contractors. We have almost 250,000 now…Obama increased them. (Blackwater is in court in Va today trying to get their cases dismissed btw..)http://rebelreports.com/

“The Department of Defense has released an updated census of Pentagon contractors deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan and CENTCOM’s area of operations. The overall number of contractors in the third quarter of 2009 increased slightly from 243,000 to 244,000, which means that private forces continue to constitute about half of the total US force deployed in these two wars…..

Two other statistics jump out. First, in Iraq, the DoD reports that there was “a 19 % increase (from 10,743 to 13,232) of armed DoD PSCs in Iraq compared to the 2nd quarter FY 2009 census.”

“Obama Administration Uses Blackwater in Drone Killings

The Obama administration has carried over from the Bush administration Blackwater’s critical role in the use of the remote-controlled Predator drones that have killed many civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, a Friday report by the New York Times reveals. The drones’ purported purpose is to assassinate Al Qaeda leaders. Their deployment in Pakistan is in clear violation of international law, as the US has never declared war on the South Asian state.

There exists no substantive distinction between the Bush administration’s hiring of Blackwater to carry out “targeted assassinations” in Iraq with snipers and ambushes, and the Obama administration’s farming out to the military security firm its drone assassination program in the “Af-Pak theater,” whose victims have consisted predominantly of civilians.

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/aug2009/blac-a22.shtml

US’ use of military robots provides an example of US
as a Japanese client-state: just as US military
depends on Japan for robots and electrical components
and composite materials, it also depends similarly on
Japan for financing military incursions and military
occupations. To predict US’ future use of military
robots or future incursions and occupations, don’t
bother considering US populace’s interests but rather
the commodity interests of Japan: indisputably US
populace never had any interest in consuming hundreds
of billions of its taxes for occupations that
provided it no benefit, but US occupation averted
colonial rage from Japan and also secured Japan’s
crude oil imports: Japan imports twice as much as oil
than US from Persian Gulf, yet virtually no Japanese
have suffered injury or died in either Iraq or
Afghanistan. Japan exports high-value-added robots
and components and composite materials as well as
capital in its own interests not the interests of the
US populace; US bureaucrats and politicians like
Geithner and Pelosi are just venal servants.

I, too, have sat through the military propaganda music videos (by talent-less, jingoistic nitwits like Kid Rock) that precede films at the multi-plex and, as I sit there, I wonder how many people in the audience are swelling with pride at the same garbage I’m watching with utter disgust. I probably don’t want to know.

Children make the best soldiers because they have yet to develop a fear of death or of an understanding of it and causing it in others. Video games maintains that disconnect which makes the remote Reaper and Predator pilots that much more removed from what they do. Even more so than the bombers were in WWII. [Howard Zinn was one and he wanted to connect to what he had done and it changed him for the better.] Those pilots have a 9 to 5 job where they go home every night! So the disconnect for them is complete.

Just wait till they deploy fully armored and armed robots to augment ground troops who are also armored. They can be “force multipliers” making a 7 man platoon equal to two or three or more. Along with aerial surveillance and those who are armed with missiles to give them support linked to satellite based systems completes the picture of a fully realized real-time electronic to ground based battlefield under total scrutiny. A near 360 degree axis of what is going on at all times. As long as they aren’t jammed that is. Which will logically follow.

The idea is to put fewer people on the ground but increase the ability to see more, integrate more and with far greater fire power at their disposal to crush whomever is there. They may yet achieve that within our life time.

In service to the Christian Empire (to come) they march with new tech for old reasons. Crusades are on since 1990.

Yeah, too bad the murdered and maimed innocent citizens can’t just get up after
10 seconds >>> game reset. I thought “be all you can be” was ridiculous but for
this joystick warrior crap, absurd is too mild a description. War is a state of mind
and will only end when enough individual humans end it in themselves. Can this
be done? Sure. Read, hear or see Eckhart Tolle or Byron Katie and some others.

Another excellent article by David Sirota exposing the criminality of the American political-military-industrial complex with false propaganda, mass deception and warmongering.

Yet, the sad reality remains that they are doing it in our name and with our tax-payer money, without even a sign that the sheepish sleeping citizens are going to do anything against it.

Again, a case of the more things change in these sad United States of America the more they stay the same if they don’t even get worse!

I’m with you David Sirota!!

“the American psyche’s slow progress toward an increasingly peaceful disposition could be stunted by the propaganda’s powerful paradox”

That is exactly what they are trying to do with these Ads.

(and it has worked)

And don’t forget the other propaganda teams, the Air Force Thunderbird and the Navy Blue Angels.  I wonder how many millions, if not billions, of dollars have been spent for these two teams?  And for what purpose?

Purely propaganda that’s what.  Unfortunately I am reminded of the Blue Angel propaganda too frequently since I live in Pensacola where they practice a lot.

I’ve always wondered why they practice over the residential areas of this city when the Gulf of Mexico is right at our doorsteps.  I have grown to hate these noise making, money wasting propaganda, flyboys & their games.

Short and to the point…

Wake Up!  (Oops… Too Late…)

A report from Afghanistan about a soldier who was shocked how different real combat was so from the video game combat that enticed him to join the military. The DoD is working in concert with the video game industry to provide video glorifying the military while simultaneously providing free preservice training for military service.The youth market is targeted of course because those are the minds must susceptible to propaganda indoctrination. This is why auto insurance premims start going down after 25 years old, the development of the brain is immature, although in Cheney and Rummy’s mind their brains never matured which is why they are so dangerous, deluded, psycho’s without adult supervision which they were without during the 8 years of Bush, no adult supervision. Bush was ill equipped to provide the adult supervision because he was/is still stuck in a pre adult mindset due to his drug and alcohol addictions which retard and even prohibit the lobes of the prefrontal cortex to function or even develop such as in Bush’s case.

War is only an option if attacked by another sovereign nation. We should have been engaged in police action these last eight years. Of course it probably would have been resolved by now, the huge profits of the defense industry would not have been achieved, thus our current condition.

We are a democracy, we decide our course of action through the election of representatives who carry out our own will. This is a textbook definition and , unfortunately does not represent the reality of our current situation.
