and sending them to David Hackworth’s Soldiers for the Truth website

Ah, yes. Hackworth, who is employing a neonazi nut who spends much of his time arguing that the planes flying into the towers on 9/11 were remote-controlled by Israelis and that Israel must be eradicated.

And Hackworth the "war hero", whose record also includes procuring prostitutes and setting up a bordello for his soldiers.

No.

This is a page introducing Ralph Omholt, aka "Skydrifter" (a name you'll find elsewhere like Libertypost, Vanguard and Freedomunderground):

Defensewatch editor "Skydrifter"

Here's Omholt's conspiracy fantasy (not only did Arab terrorists NOT fly the planes into the twin towers, but the other two flights were landed at some military base and hidden, whereupon someone blew up the Pentagon. I don't know where he thinks the passengers are being held.

Omholt's fantasy

And here's another of "Skydrifter"'s pages, just tying in his identity from the reverse side:

More Omholt

I read those Skydrifter posts for entertainment and can't believe someone would lend him credence.I also then googled and found the elaborate pictures and diagrams...There were some on TOS that took him apart, I was pleased to see. There is one thing I have discovered since getting a computer...There are those who ALWAYS think the the govt. is lying and there are some who see a conspiracy in every event. I thank heaven that I don't live in that dark world they create for themselves.

Well, nothing special, just an acutely disgruntled ex-employee, garden variety case.

Indeed. He is an antisemitic loony tune :). But Hackworth obviously values him and his loony antics - as an editor for Hackworth's Defensewatch. Which ought to be a pointer to what level of credibility to expect from that rag.

If I were a Jew I might get pretty puffed up about the fact my people are in control of the White House Policies and foreign affairs, control the markets, have such ingenious conspiracies going with extremely secret advanced technology...then there's all the many and varied things in Saudi Arabia causing turmoil...What a remarkable people....;)

I know it hurts and I am not making light of anti semitism but the blame the Joos crowd comes off as just plain paranoiac and terribly silly....It's that dark world I don't inhabit nor do I understand it..

"The Left has finally found a soldier it can support: Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, formerly of the Department of Defense. Of course, she's a crackpot who claims George W. Bush toppled Saddam Hussein, because Hussein's trade under the abused Oil-for-Food program was conducted in Euros, rather than dollars."


I listened to Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski on the Ron Smith show (local conservative talk host in Baltimore), and she sounded pretty sane to me.



"A recently retired USAF lieutenant colonel, Kwiatkowski is making a name for herself in the media, writing for the American Conservative, Salon, LewRockwell.com, MilitaryWeek.Com and a growing list of leftist publications."


Yeah, AmCon, LewRockwell, and MilitaryWeek are really left-wing publications. (eyes rolling)

Let me suggest a different explanation. Reasonable people can differ on the war in Iraq without being hate-America leftists. The fact that the Left trumpets their dissent does not make them leftists. Demonizing your opponent for disagreeing with your policies is something that the Clintonistas excelled at. Looks like many conservatives have decided to emulate them.

You misread the sentence. The line you quote from the article isn't saying that they are left-wing publications. It's merely listing who's published Kwiatkowski's work, noting the names of the web sites "and a growing list of leftist publications." It doesn't say "and a growing list of other leftist publications."

Oh yeah. Sane.

Kwiatkowski is making a name for herself in the media, writing for the American Conservative

Along with Samuel Francis, the other "conservative".

...a Pentagon staffer who was so appalled by the run-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom that she resigned in protest. Kwiatkowski spent her last four-and-a-half years in uniform working at the Pentagon. Her active service closed with a stint from May 2002 through February 2003 in the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Near East/South Asia and Special Plans.

Pentagon speak for cubicle rat and coffee cup attendant.

...A recently retired USAF lieutenant colonel,

If she opted to retire, then she didn't resign in protest. Hardly what I call standing on principle. Just another Clintonite rat jumping the good ship USS Pentagon one step ahead of the fumigation team of Rummy and Associates.

It was really hot, and I had been working outside and tired and dirty by the end of the day, so I stopped by a Hagen Das store, got a large pineapple coconut shake. $5.50

They knew I was coming...

What's that Hackworth website?....

Let me get this straight. You don't think Sam Francis is a conservative?

Yeah, prety much. No one listens to LTCs at the Pentagon.
