Lies of omission about 9/11 -- stoking fears of terrorism THEY WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes! Someone is apparently watching closely over the content of the freerepublic.com forums and censoring them 24/7 (though they might have...

<p>You people are jerks. Not likeable jerks either, but the kind folks would like to smack in the back of the head with a shovel. Think Judge Snells from Caddyshack or Neidermier from Animal House.</p> <p>I know this probably comes as a shock to you, but if you do some serious soul searching, you'll realize that I am right.</p>

Concluding Question: The Meta-Group and the United States Government It seems clear that the meta-group, with its influential connections on at least three continents, was powerful enough to effect changes, through the Russian 9/11, in Russian history. The question arises whether they could similarly effect changes in American history as well. As we have seen Russian sources claim that the U.S. Government has had access to he meta-group, for such especially sensitive projects as the assassination of Abu al Walid al-Hamadi. They claim the meta-group's involvement in a number of U.S.-sponsored regime changes in eastern Europe, from the overthrow of...

August 19, 2005--Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother who maintained an anti-War protest outside of President Bush's ranch, is viewed favorably by 35% of Americans and unfavorably by 38%. Sheehan is viewed favorably by 34% of men and 35% of women. Forty-two percent (42%) of men and 34% of women have an unfavorable view. In general, people see in Sheehan what they want to see. Opinion about her is largely based upon views of the War, rather than views about the woman herself. Democrats, by a 56% to 18% margin, have a favorable opinion. Republicans, by a 64% to 16% margin,...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

Gas costs so much. I cant afford it. Why want Bush do something? Don't say he can't. His daddy or his handlers could be on the phone in 2 minutes with the Rothchilds and by 1 week, oil prices would be under $20 and gas would be 1 dollar a gallon. You know it and I know it. Why want he? Do you know? Is there sombody we can call? Plaese advice.

March 29, 2005 -- ALBANY — Gov. Pataki has decided not to seek another term next year and will concentrate instead on a bid for the vice-presidential nomination in 2008, a report last night said. The New York 1 report — which cited unnamed "sources" saying the governor had told friends of his decision — was quickly denied by Pataki's chief spokesman, David Catalfamo.

Boston Globe columnist Thomas Oliphant (he of the annoying, "heh-heh-heh-heh" laugh) visited the Imus show this morning and lived up to his longstanding prefix, "Ignorant". And if you think I'm being cruel about his laugh, don't worry, it was openly mocked on the program by, if you can believe it, Camilla Parker-Bowles. Or maybe that was an impersonator, I'm not sure. In any event, his comments have defined a high-water mark for ignorance. Allow me to describe what kind of garbage he dispensed this morning...

"SORRY, SENATOR: YOU DON'T PICK THE SECDEF [KJL] John Kerry sends out a pre-inaugural e-mail: From: John Kerry Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 5:19 PM> To: Kathryn Lopez Subject: Hold Bush and Rumsfeld Accountable! Dear Kathryn, I have just come back from Iraq. After several months consumed by the campaign trail, I wanted to make contact with our soldiers on the ground there. The first thing I want you to know is that, in very difficult circumstances, our brave soldiers are serving America with enormous skill and great courage. In the Senate, we have a duty during times like these...

New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president. Her brothers, Hugh and Tony Rodham, say it's true. Friends...

Posted By: Rob_Booth | Write the Editors | Permalink.. In today's Chronicle, Gebe Martinez mentions Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's participation in the Democrats' objection to certifying the presidential election results. "The Senate voted 74-1 to uphold the election results, with Boxer casting the lone dissenting vote. The House voted 267-31. Jackson Lee and Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas were the only two Texas Democrats to support the election challenge." He didn't mention this gem of a quote from Rep. Jackson Lee during the proceedings: "I came here as a slave, and I deserve to vote." For someone old enough...

WASHIGTON, D.C. – Billionaire investor, donor to radical causes and political activist George Soros, speaking at the last hurrah event of his whirlwind anti-Bush tour, told a luncheon audience at the National Press Club: “Now that I am at the end of my tour, I am not reassured... The race is too close for comfort.” “I embarked on the tour because I was worried that the dramatic deterioration in Iraq did not produce the decisive lead for John Kerry I had confidently expected,” Soros conceded. Asked what he will do if George W. Bush wins another term, Soros lamented, “I...

Kerry stops in Cannonsburg, PA while Teresa makes her first public appearance in awhile by attending the Labor Day parade in Pittsburgh. Kerry goes on to Racine, WV, where he receives a shotgun (but the AP and the AFP can't tell a shotgun from a rifle). Kerry then heads to Cleveland, where he shows he is one tough hombre, even though he knows how to bow.   Democratic presidential nominee, Sen.

I cannot believe my ears. I was just watching Hannity and Colmes and a Democratic pundit named MaryAnne Marsh just said that President Bush "Betrayed his country by not serving in Vietnam." It's nice to know that my "voluntary service" in the United States Air Force for four years, all of it during the Vietnam war, although none of it spent "in country", now allows my to wear the lastest badge of honor from the miserable democratic party. Evidently I betrayed my country. I am so happy that this twit has explained to me that I betrayed my country at...

<p>This might be little bit hard, but I have to say what I feel, and it is just my feelings towards some things here. Ishmael ha, maybe somewhere down the road something got kind of f---k up, but when did Islam came to be? Who was before them? What tribe did Mohamed came from? What was his full life all about? Etc, etc... I am getting freaking tired of this Islam BS and bumble jumbo, don't preach to me about religion whose only goal is to conquer and destroy!</p>

On CNN, the Carnegie Institute for Peace had a program regarding the Iraq situation. Was the invasion necessary? The institute, with a thorough investigation, found no compelling reason to invade - no WMD, no biological weapons, no long-range missiles. Now, Paul O'Neill, former U.S. treasurer under Bush, confirmed these allegations in his newly published book. Bush and his cronies had planned to invade Iraq from the first days he stumbled into office. We all know that Saddam is a no-good SOB, but we should not have invaded. So far, the cost has been terrible. Almost 500 U.S. soldiers have died...
