$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('skateari', 'A')merica is doing a spedid job, just look at specop for example. So shose the path of denying the facts and possilbity to gain broader knowledge, and continue to support the corrupt government. So how does this make you any better then the brainwashed citizens in Nazi germany? If you cant add up the fact that

1) we are running out of oil, and the US needs it
2) in order to buy a war, you need to invoke terror, and justify the war
3) our government is corrupt, and has been proven so. But it does not seem to make it onto the media due to censorship and propaganda tactics.
4)our government is now killing 100,000+ peaple, women and children included, for the sake of our greedy intentions.

So if you cant those things up, and at least make it a possibility the US planned the attacks, then you cant do simple level math. It all makes sense, it all adds up, and all the facts point that way. Denial will get you in the same situations the Germans were in, you will be no different from them.


100,000?? Oh yes, the number the MEDIA gave you right?
http://slate.msn.com/id/2108887/

Now, is it 8,000 or 100,000?? Because I'm confused. Some media says 100,000, but another source is saying that number is nearly a flat out lie.... Now, which source are you using? The near lie of 100,000? And you want me to take this argument seriously?

Damnit, this is all too confusing for me. Can we finally put politics to rest and just focus on one subject...

PEAK OIL?

So some higher level thinking confuses you... This is my fault how? 9/11 was and the wars that ensued was the governments reaction to the future effects of peakoil, therefor its a topic we should discuss. You ask me for proof and you get confused, and tell me I am wrong... You say you cant believe it and things like this coulden't happen, even though they have happend. Its documented history, and so far as Americas recent documented history shows similar comparisons, and we can only guess on our future. But there is proof that our government was behind it, behind 9/11, behind funding it, behind hiding the evidence. Its known, and its exposed, but not to the average american joe, only to the people who dont get confused and are willing to peice the evidence together. there is not just proof, its overwhelming proof, and they wont let it get out to the public, for the US public is its sole base that they must fool. Conspiry theory is how our government wants you to look at it, however its much more then that, its factual, proven and obvious that our government murdered people on September 11th, for the sake of Oil, and giving justice for a war in Iraq. Similar to Hitlers invasion of poland. Its happening, all you have to do is have the MAN power to face the truth. Are you a big enough man to question your all mighty government?

You misunderstand me. I'm a survivalist, I dont trust my government at all.
But the fact is, IF the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 events in any way and it was even remotely possible to expose it, dont you think someone WOULD have? Look how far some groups went to undermine the Bush election campaign. Proving a government involvement in 9/11 would be like having your cake and eating it too for some anti Bush groups.
But nothing ever materialized.
This isnt higher level thinking, this is simple basic concepts. If Party A hates Party B, and Party B has done some underhanded deeds, dont you think Party A would be jumping up and down like a schoolgirl who has to pee to expose those connections??

Our government is still under control of the same people despite whos president. For all I know Kerry steped down soon and allowed Bush re-election, despite all the proof that the elections were fraud. The Demicrates are closer to the Republicans then you may think, at least when it comes to Peak Oil and how to deal with it, with a "war on terror", or by non-propaganda terms, "the war to steal oil".

People have exposed it. Read "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael Ruppert. The truth is so horrible, however, even people who are agianst Bush don't want to think he is capable of such horrors. It wouldn't be like having your cake and eating it too - it would be more like realizing "holy sh-t, we really do live in a fascist state"

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Guest', 'S')pecop,

You really need to read the following article:

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/reich.html

An excerpt:

The reality was that the German people, as individuals, had lost their courage. The German government preferred it that way as a fearful people are easier to rule than a courageous one. But the German people didn't wish to lose their self-image of courage. So, when confronted with a situation demanding individual courage, in the form of a government gone wrong, the German people simply pretended that the situation did not exist. And in that simple self-deception lay the ruin of an entire nation and the coming of the second World War.

When the Reichstag burned down, most Germans simply refused to believe suggestions that the fire had been staged by Hitler himself. They were afraid to. But so trapped were the Germans by their belief in their own bravery that they willed themselves to be blind to the evidence before their eyes, so that they could nod in agreement with Der Fuhrer while still imagining themselves to have courage, even as they avoided the one situation which most required real courage; to stand up to Hitler's lies and deceptions.

Guest


About 2 paragraphs later is where I quit reading.
Talk to a WWII vet, ask him if he thinks the Germans were cowards. My Uncle was a tanker, liost behind enemy lines for 2 days.
The Germans were not cowards. Perhaps the people back home, but not the soldiers. But, thats the case with EVERY country. I can point out thousands of cowards right here at home. You know what a coward is? Someone who cant stand up for themselves. How many people in this country said "If Bush is re elected....".... And how many followed through? None that I know of! Not 1 person has moved out of the country, or done whatever other fanciful idea they had. Why?
Cowards.
But thats neither here nor there I suppose.


I'm a regular poster here - and I just put in my application for permanent resident status in Canada.

I know of several other people who have done the same. What do you expect, for the them to come up to you the week after the election and tell you, "Specop, did I tell you I'm moving to Canada?"

The permanent resident application process takes a minimum of one year to complete. You don't just make a run for the border.

I haven't told anybody outside of my family about this yet. Not the type of thing you advertise.

You'll probably get smart and decide you want to leave at some point in the next 4 years. But by then it might be too late.

Quite with all your pro-Bush/furher propaganda and get some brains. Your surrounded by people on this board who are trying to wake you up and all you can do is mock them and post picturs of highly offensive cartoons.

That one with Bush branding the the tied up democratic donkey? Reminded me of cartoons that circulated in 1940's Germany. Except it was Hitler branding whatever was being used to represent Jewish people.

Not if Party A was in on it too.

Not if exposing the underhanded deeds would crash the Stock Market and cause the electorate to lose all faith in both parties.

Heres a thought. I dont come here to read political crap. If you want to bash Bush & Co, fine!! By ALL means, bash away! But do it on a political forum. Go to http://www.democraticunderground.com and knock your socks off!! I dont come here for political education, and in fact since this isnt a Democratic website (It is, unbeknowst to some, a Peak Oil website) dont expect every person who swings in to sit and sing the evils of Bush & Co with the rest of the choir.
Perhaps you should tell everyone else to quit the Bush bashing as much as you should tell me to quit defending him. But as I told trespam, that would be too easy wouldnt it? To maybe think everyone ELSE was wrong too. No no, just point the finger at the one guy who doesnt buy the Bush is Bad propoganda......

And Whats wrong with that picture? I thought it was pretty funny!!

A View From Ireland

Unread postby Madpaddy » Mon 08 Nov 2004, 08:12:34

Article in "The Irish Examiner" today

Fundamentalists in Europe can learn from American openness

By Terry Prone
PLEASE, could we just shut up about the American presidential election? Now we have it sorted, I mean. Now that we’ve established the fault lies with redneck born agains over there who voted for him in such numbers.

It would nearly put you off the Christmas shopping trip to New York, so it would.

Up to last week, we thought America was a big diverse society, but this week we learned they were really one big Bible belt hiding 51 million religious fundamentalists from us. Gun totin’ religious maniacs, all of them: anti-abortion, anti-stem-cell research. Beer drinkin’, boot scootin’, Bible-totin’ unsophisticates, too thick to deserve democracy.

Or that’s what liberal Ireland, Britain, Europe and east coast America would have us believe.

It boils my brains to be so embarrassed by people I normally agree with.

This mass-stereotyping of millions of Americans is outrageous, idiotic and stupidly patronising. It is bad loser-ship brought to a blindly arrogant level.

I stood in an American firehouse the week of the election, in one of those southern states currently being portrayed as populated by spittin’, whistling,’ whittlin’ dumb conservatives. The room was dominated by three big fridges.

Okay, so you come on here asking for us to futher our research, explain this to you, and give you some facts, some proof. Then we lay out the proof on a silver platter for you to feed off of. But no, your confused, you dont want to talk about the subject and politics are to much for you. And you called me the fool..

thats the problem with most Americans, they cant handle the truth and they ignore it, and then they are no better and in the same boat as Nazi supporters. You are no different. So if you feel confused, like its to much for you to bear, and we 'shoulden't talk about it here', dont call me a fool and tell me to back it up, then to only say dont talk about it. Americans have to be some of the most ingorant people in the world, and your living proof of it.

Boy, I thought this forum was meant to be a meeting place for like-minded people. Shows how dumb I am.

Hey 007,

could you explain to me what a survivalist actually is? You say you don't trust the gov. Fair enough. I would suggest you try and keep an open mind to the 9-11 thing though. Skateari provided some pretty good critiques here.

Like many people I accepted the official version for over 2 years. So I am a late convert to the cause. I read almost nothing about it-except what was in the media. I was skeptical of some aspects- like pinning the blame so fast on bin Laden and IDing the hijackers- while the same time saying we had no idea this was coming. Then I looked at the Pentagon photos closely. Where indeeds was the wreckage?I looked at the 'crash site' of Ft93. Again- where was the wreckage? From there the whole official version unravelled like overcooked spagetti.

I don't want to re-hash all the reasons why I believe it was an inside job. I will say that it was reading up on 911 that brought me to peak oil. This is how. I was boring a friend about the issue some time ago. I was just getting going when Glenn asks, 'OK- what was the motive??' I went 'oh-yeah' Patriot Act, police state, 'war on terror'. It sounded lame even to me.

So I thought- OK what WAS the motive? Was it just to further US strategic policy, further the cause of Zionism in Israel, insurance/stock market scams? None of these sounded plausible by themselves. Then I went 'Doh! and hit on PO. There it was- the whole ugly rationale. Everything fitted.

Don't get me wrong here. I don't believe one should start with a priori assumptions. You know, have a theory then cobble together some evidence to fit it. THAT IS A CONSPIRACY THEORY. You do have to be careful to not accept opinion or supposition dressed up as fact. Some sites do this to their detriment.

I am curoius to know why you accept the reality of PO and its implications, but not its connection to 9-11? Most people accept that it was the kicker for all that happened since then. Indeed it could be argued that much of what has occured could not have if not for 9-11. the only difference is that most people still say 'well, Bush took advantage of the tragedy', without considering the possibility that they caused it. So, its OK to regard Bush et al. as mendacious bastards, but not as traitors of the first rank.

The corporate media have done a fantastic job of supressing any alternative view. To suggest that 9-11 was an inside job is almost traitorous. Thus nearly all the debate is confined to the net. There is no possibility of open discussion in the media regarding the gaping holes in the official story. I find it hard to see how alternate views could force themselves into the 'mainstream'.In fact the story itself works because it is simple and keeps being repeated like a mantra. Any holes that do emerge- such as just what were those war games on 9-11?- are glossed over with stuff like- 'there were war games- so what- the terrorists must have piggy-backed their ops on top of them'.

Please keep an open mind- and just because some people like to create wedpages from the basement does'nt make them idiots. Besides, just cause your paranoid does'nt mean people are'nt out to get you.

No, this is a figure a seperate college study group did as a scientific report. That is where I got it from, the media is the one trying to say its wrong, understate the findings and make it seem like we really are not doing much. Anyhow, your denying the facts, and changing the argument. Who cares exactly how many people we have killed, but we are killing them none the less. And its not because of terror, or their freedom, its because of our need for there resources. Thats been cause of war for centuries, it always has been and always will be. In order to go to war you need justification of it, and that was what 9/11 was about. There is a ton of proof to back up the claim, a 600 page book full (its called Crossing the Rubicon, if you want to be a ignorant american, dont read it) of proof. If you can get done reading threw the fact, and still play this off as a 'conspircy theory' then you have no concept of reality.

Unlike the germans, they could not find the truth, they were sucked into believing everything they heard. But now, now the truth is availible to you in all sorts and form, the internet, books, which can open you mind to much broader concepts and view of reality. You can seperate yourself from it by the knowledge that is out there. The whole world knows what we are doing, about 9/11, but the average american person fails to grasp the concept, the real reasons for war, and the way they got people behind it. The essay comparing Germany to America is a eye opener, because those things did happen in Germany, its documented fact. And you know what? What is going on in America is documented, proven and based on fact too. Its a scary thought to think we are doing this; but down allow yourself to be scared and back down from learning the truth, because that is exactly what propagada is programed to do. [/quote]

Jeb Bush and Colin Powell off to Asia

Unread postby Laurasia » Sat 01 Jan 2005, 00:54:41

Heard about this today on the Radio and then found the following link:

http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/asiap ... wellvisit/

Perhaps Jeb is being set up as a follow-up candidate for President in 2008?

This fact-finding tour would be a perfect forum to launch W's brother onto the world stage in BIG WAY. What a perfect photo-op. I do not find that the reasons provided, as to why Jeb Bush has been picked, hold water. The outside world does not know Jeb Bush, so foreigners will not be impressed by the idea of W sending his brother. Instead, I believe it is strictly to play to the home crowd, who unlike the foreigners, will be impressed (one way or the other).

Regards,

L.

That was the first thought that crossed MY mind, too, when I read your subject line, Laurasia!

Yeah, Jeb Bush, future Presidential candidate. And they've got the perfect explanation, too: the guy's Governor of a state that was hit by untold devastation by four straight hurricanes; who better to visit this disaster-torn region?

Hummmm...wonder if this has anything to do with Dubya upping the aid money from $35M to $350M? Is Jeb gonna be delivering that dough? Well, no matter. Whatever the reason for the aid, I'm just glad those people are getting the help they need!

At least I won't have to be in the same state as Jebbie for a little while.

About the aid money: The $350M is just a pledge, not an actual contribution. It's sort of the same thing that happened with the African AIDS relief money; we pledged $5B, but they haven't seen a cent of it in Africa.
