Chris Ruddy's NewsMax, which I used to have some degree of trust in, given that he was so instrumental in exposing the truth about Vince Foster's murder, refuses to remove an advertisement it's carrying promoting a video by one Alex Jones, a conspiracy kook who claims, in excruciatingly unexamined, half-assed detail, that the U.S. government, and the "New World Order", were in fact behind the attacks of September 11. They ALLOWED Al-Qaida to do this, you see, so that they could institute global tyranny. Blah, blah, blah.
I agree. I'm not aware of Limbaugh, or any other hosts, encouraging people to copy their works and distribute them for free. (That's not a critism of Rush; just backing up your statement that he isn't in it for the money).
I also think he was offered $1 million dollars by a large media corporation (ABC?) to have a show. The price was that he would have to become more "mainstream". He turned them down. At least that's what I gathered from the few times he has mentioned it.
I have a lot of respect for the man.
Isn't it odd how many of "our" "real conservatives" are turning out to be just not bad, if not worse, than "their" flunkies?
The only "refutation" that you offer is #6(which relies on A.E.Pritchard)and number ten which you point out is not really germane to the incident of 9/11.Number one,you just ask for proof,don't refute anything.Number 2,it's well established that bin Laden was funded with US funds,be they CIA or other.#3, the target was American liberty,not some particular building.And your question on this point doesn't refute anything.# 4,the author "admits" it's a stretch,he doesn't know whether it's true,nor do you.It may be a strech,and it may be true.ditto # 9.#5The "NWO" people have been in our government from about the time of JFK,the so-called "whiz kids",just as counter-insurgency was becoming the vogue in warfare.The point is innocent casualties were contemplated to further a political goal.#6,the truth will come out about mcVeighs trips to the Philippines,and the FBI's lone assassin theory,discounting eyewitness reports of suspicious men in the area before and after the bombing.#7 bears repeating,I can't believe a freeper would write thisIs it unconstitutional? Maybe. Have we ever faced an enemy like this one? No. These questions are why we have the Supremes.So the "supremes",as you call them,are to rationalize unconstitutional measures?Again,no refutation.His # 8 is a good point to consider,and your "refutation" is a non-sequitur.Sorry for the lack of formatting.
Please show me the quote or a link where NewsMax/associates, etc. said that.
Bingo.
Oh, gosh, Sink, you had to go and conjure THAT bunch in here!!!
The other's a riveting anti-drug expose' called Reefer Madness.
Now, be sure you view BOTH of these films with an open mind, and seriously consider the messages they have to share, before you restort to any overt criticism.
You know we have to be fair and give every notion a reasonable hearing!
And TV and Radio and everything except my Bible!
Don't waste my time.
Yes....and its disheartening.
Without absolute proof, which would be your witnessing the facts. . . . you are relying on Television for 'truth'.
It is entirely possible that the US DID do the WTC attacks.
Now, I don't happen to believe that they did. . . . IN THIS CASE..... but believing everything you are told by a black box in your living room is moronic.
What price absolute control over the most resistant populace in the world?
3,000 dead and few billion in damages?
I do not think they DID do it... but I would not put it past them.
It's not just "bad." It's disgusting. At least the opposition is ideologically pure, in that they believe their own drivel. Those like Ruddy and Horowitz -- and I've worked for both of them -- pretend to be one thing while they are secretly another. I can't imagine anything lower than that. It's like being the quarterback for the home team and throwing interceptions on purpose -- for money!
That said, it's just as likely, nay more likely, that ordinary incompetence is the culprit. Too many "leaders" too busy empire building to do the ****ing jobs.
Same with FR....
And Statists will always have a personal reaction to even the most significant of things.
You oddly didn't mention we're the least free we ever have been. Wonder why?
