Anyone remember How those hillbilly malitias where getting popular and then went underground after Oklahoma city incident. And they where all building bombs and obtaining 50 caliber sniper rifles. Alot of them had diff. agendas but i remember One popular agenda being that they where fulfilling a constitutional right to form a private citizen army to protect america; when the gov. was deemed inadequate.
And theres the minute men now who also are concerned about terrorists infiltrating our borders So there just sitting there waiting to kill a terrorist. So judging the success of the Minute men org. and gun sales I`m guessing The popularity of Vigilante Citizen armies increased after we admitted al qaeda was after us in 2001. Ive noticed an increase in popularity of Racism against middleeasterns and mistaken identity of hindus and other nationalities. Seems like its publicly acceptable to be a racist now days against the right people. Alot of people applauded the beating Jonny walker the american taliban received by a Neo-nazi on his first day in regular population. I Wonder How many people are netted in anti-terrorist operations that are "NeoPatriots" Waiting for their paranoid red dawn scenario. The gov. really hasnt done much about the minute men and there just sitting outside drunk with a gun in a group waiting to kill sumbody. thats seems like it would be illegal if the target victim wasn`t a terrorist. I`m guessing a bordercrossing south american will accidentally get shot one of these days and nuclear war with some south american country will break out over the death of a single peasant. Its hard to be dark much less a terrorist now days. These terrorist guys are starting to try to look like other nationalities and recruit nonmiddleeasterns, to try and blend in. all the muslims are suspected of terrorism by the non-muslim people in their life so they constantly have to protest that they hate terrorism and a real terrorist couldnt lie like that, he`d slip up immediately and talk shit about america. I dont like people kidding about that shit like nicknaming muslims osama, Thats like joking about putting hits out on yur kids to me; Since killing a bunch of people or killing a terrorist is not a joking matter and I take that shit very seriously. Like If we found out about a terrorist Everybody I know would beat his ass or worse and turn him in. Those guys behead guys for being like me. so war is war, If the laws cant get there fast enough I have to do my duties as an american citizen to prevent terrorism. So ive been planning and thinking about how im gunna kill muthafuckers, so Im ready when you`re not prepared from fear of violence; And thats some hippie shit that cant be imposed on me at this time by any b.s. non-violence thought crime laws. I`m not going to freak out and kill a bunch of non-terrorists either I`d rather the authorities intervene and use physical violence as a last resort since I dont like to kill people but Ill do it If its my final option. And I can smell the shit on their breath so changing appearance cant hide terrorists from me. I wish Terrrorists would dog-up and take the fucking oath of non violence instead of turning into the great satan they claim to fight. Blowing up little kids for no reason is satanic shit. Its cool with buddhists to kill people too but only when provoked as a last resort, Buddhists wouldnt use that as a free ticket to randomly mass murder woman and children. its cool with their religion to kill people as a last resort to stop the killing of innocent people. Thats is what i think the mistranslation by jihadists comes from. So the quran says its ok to kill as a last resort Like if you shot a suicide bomber right before he detonated. U.S. troops follow the word of allah closer than al qaeda. -------------------- "Please read and learn and relay knowledge not misinformation!

On August 20 [1998] the United States launched a series of cruise missile attacks against alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan, both of which were said to be under the control of a rabid Islamic fundamentalist leader and arch terrorist named Osama bin-Laden. I did some checking on bin-Laden and what I found out leads me to suspect that the CIA and the U.S. government would rather have this evil terrorist hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan than answering questions which might embarrass them.
Shortly after the Russians invaded Afghanistan, the young and wealthy Saudi Arabian named bin-Laden rushed to Afghani mountains to fight a Muslim holy war against Godless Communism. Having inherited more than thirty million dollars from his father's construction business he was in a position to lend immediate help to the struggling Afghani freedom fighters. He formed quick alliances among the half dozen or so major factions of the Mujahedeen led by Afghani Sheik Hekmatyar. US records indicate that we spent nearly $3 billion dollars over the next eight years to train and equip the Afghan rebels. We even supplied them with Stinger missiles, which caused great concern in later years as we began to fear they would be turned against us. The U.S. Congress appropriated ransom money to buy them back in the early 90s. Few were recovered. In addition the CIA, under Bill Casey, sponsored an explosion in the heroin trade to finance the war. This was nothing new. In 1979, when the Soviet invasion occurred, virtually none of the heroin entering the US came from the so-called Golden Crescent in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. At the time it was coming from Mexico and Southeast Asia. By 1982 the region was producing exportable opium base equivalent to 20-30 tons of heroin a year. Of that, at least 4.5 tons reached the U.S. By 1988 those numbers had increased to 70 to 80 tons of heroin of which 15 to 20 tons reached the US. According to Alfred McCoy, in his outstanding book The Politics of Heroin (Lawrence Hill Books, 1972, 1991), Hekmatyar controlled no less than six heroin refineries in the Khyber District of Pakistan alone. At his side was Osama bin-Laden. Around the time that Osama bin-Laden moved to Afghanistan in 1980 he was also curiously able to found a series of investment companies under the umbrella SICO which he headquartered in Geneva. Sources formerly in the intelligence community have confirmed to me that, as bin-Laden established branches in the Cayman islands and the Bahamas, he employed law firms and consultants connected to Langley, Virginia and the CIA. Throughout the Afghan war bin-Laden grew in reputation as a fearless leader and devout Muslim. His wealth also increased rapidly. I wonder why? By the end of the war and the Soviet withdrawal he was known throughout Africa and the Middle East as a radical fundamentalist leader who had turned his sights against the U.S. But this was not without creating enemies both in Afghanistan and his home country of Saudi Arabia, which drew ever more securely into the U.S. sphere - especially during and after the Gulf War. In the early 1990s bin-Laden took up sanctuary in the Sudan and was afforded a kind of safe haven. He threw himself into massive construction projects including road building. The Sudanese government has admitted that it had an agreement with the U.S. to monitor bin-Laden and to curtail his terrorist activities. In exchange for this Sudan received unspecified rewards. It is, therefore, mystifying as to why, with bin-Laden under scrutiny in the reasonably accessible and penetrable Sudan, the U.S. government forced the Sudanese government to expel him in 1995. This drove him back into the arms of the increasingly hostile Taliban militia in Afghanistan. There, he re-established relations with Afghani drug lords in the towns of Jhost and Jalalabad. When the U.S. cruise missiles struck the El-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, a host of conflicting stories appeared as to who owned the plant and when it was built. The British turned up a man named Tom Carnaffin who claimed to have helped build the plant and manage it from 1992 through 1996. Other records and sources indicated, however, that the plant was not built until 1996. Carnaffin claimed that he was intimately familiar with the plant and that it could not have produced nerve agents as the U.S. claimed. Later the U.S. backed down and said that it didnÕt have proof that bin-Laden owned the plant. In the meantime about four other people were named who reportedly did. Some of them didnÕt know each other. What really got my attention was the fact that the French Internet publication, Indigo, reported that bin-Laden had been a London guest of British Intelligence as recently as 1996 and his treasurer, last year, defected to the Saudis as different factions shifted alliances for new campaigns in the Middle East. If the guy travels to London and has businesses in the Caymans and Geneva, how difficult can he be to find? Why did the British stand so resolutely behind the American attacks? Murky? You bet. Fishy? Absolutely. It may be entirely possible that the plant in the Sudan was storing databases for Iraqi chem and biowar agents. It may well be that the plant even had silent investors connected to Saddam Hussein and thence, back here in the States. Maybe when I have a couple of thousand subscribers and a staff I'll be able to spend the time digging into stories like this one. But one thing's for sure, Osama bin-Laden is in a place where CIA can't reach him right now and I bet they want it that way. Like so many other terrorists, from the World Trade Center, to Pan Am 103, he is one of their own creations. As my good friend, Producer Marc Levin, points out, the CIA has a term for it when one of their operations goes awry and turns ugly, "It's called 'Blowback'." Levin produced an outstanding 1997 six hour documentary on CIA for PBS entitled, "CIA - America's Secret Warriors " If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it as not only basic reference but great entertainment.

I agree with that Its kind of like in 1984 When one day your continent would be warring against oceania and then next day you`d be at war with eurasia. and any weapons you gave eurasia to help fight oceania would be used against you and evry1 would say its funded by your gov. "blowback" I saw a british reporter get shot on tv by northern alliance back then they called them Warlords paid off by the soviets. Then he was driven to the hospital by taliban. Now they bomb the train stations in his homeland. U.S. are no longer in bed with the taliban and now they support the north alliance, now that u.s. and russia are no longer on the verge of world war and the jihadists hate mongers had to find a new enemy since the communists where defeated. No body wants yur land Desert dwellers, Fuck yur oil we can ride our bikes or use solar powered cars or sum shit. I doubt terrorists are going to change there mind on the great satan shit. Everything they use to justify their terrorism are excuses, I feel the real reason why they hate the west is the rapid westernization of there land wich brings freedom to be a dick so they are blaming the west for their peoples shit like if sum saudi prince brother of osama is a coked up sleeze bag its Americas fault for "westernizing him". So they use the west as a whipping boy for their personal problems. Like If America decided the 60`s was a satanic infiltration by the communists and initiated nuclear war. This jihad movement is at least going to end when all the old people are replaced by the westernized youth they are so pissed off with. They are like the amish forcing their wacko beliefs on others. You ride the horse and buggy or you die type shit. All pissed off with their own peoples for wanting to improve their lives and be free. Muslims should Fight their own revolution of freedom like the negro in segregation era. and all those guys in iraq where mass murdered by saddam; and their children where brainwashed by saddam society to hate america. I like Being free and my life improving and non-violent and I`ll fight for that and I`m sure deep down in muslims since they are human like me they feel similar and will eventually all decide thats shits for fags and belongs in the trailer park like how diff. germany is today from nazi-germany. Sure nazis still exist but they have shrunk and are no longer big enough to be a threat; and they know they are weak and dont do anything but be butt-sore about being losers and bitch. I wouldnt be surprised if the whole muslim religion shrank down to how prevalent christianity is in america today compared to when the Amish colonies ruled America. They would burn you for witch craft. They are totally butt-sore in areas other countries are begging for like development and freedom, give that shit to china, they want that shit. Now that communism crumbled thanks to the cia with the miniscule help of the taliban. So some good came out of that shit. China owed America anyway from ww2 for the flying tigers I dont see why they got to be bitches like the french and nutride the soviets.

What is going on with the US population? How could anyone vote for George W. Bush? This guy shouldn't be in the White House, he should be in prison. And now, with the fascists vindicated in the White House and in control of the House and the Senate (and soon the Supreme Court), the future is wide open. We will likely see more war, more death, and the complete pillaging of the US economy and our social system (social security, medicare, school budgets). We could see not only the outlawing of abortion, but the criminal prosecution of any woman who obtains an abortion. We could see the reinforcement of the Patriot Act, the scrapping of the Bill of Rights, and the full establishment of a police state. We could see a nuclear attack, ecological devastation, and the impoverishment of the working class.
Is this the future for which approximately half of the US population voted? Are these people brain dead or what? Contrary to the way we might feel about it, the people who supported Bush are not stupid. Nor are they in favor of the future outlined above. These people truly believe that they are voting for a better, safer world. A world where moral values are enshrined and where terrorism is thwarted by a strong military. A world of continued prosperity which extols the superiority of the American dream. In a word, they are deluded. (For a study on just how deluded Bush supporters are, see The Separate Realities of Bush and Kerry Supporters, Kull, Steven, et al. The PIPA/Knowledge Networks Poll, 10/21/2004. http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReport How can such a large percentage of the US population remain blinded by denial in the face of so much evidence which flatly contradicts their view of reality (and isn't such delusion a feature of psychosis)? When the rest of the world clearly sees and deplores what is happening, how is it that a majority of the US population-which prides itself on freedom of information and informed democracy-has not clue what is really happening? How is this delusion being maintained? Through a few simple techniques. 1. Promote a system of socialization in schools that trains people to respect and obey authorities and not to question the system. The ideological purpose of school is to inculcate students into a system of obedience which will prepare them for the workplace and turn them into complacent, unquestioning citizens. Teachers are themselves indoctrinated while they are still in college. When I once looked into obtaining a teaching degree at a major teaching university, I was first given a verbal examination to find out how I would handle various situations. The exam concluded that I had a tendency to handle things in a non-authoritarian manner (that is, I tried to teach students to think for themselves and give them a voice in decision making), and I was told I would have to go through a program of behavioral modification before I could undertake a teaching degree. Students are expected to obey teachers and to ask permission for everything, including attending to their own bodily functions. Free time is severely restricted and any child who shows a tendency to daydream is deemed afflicted with attention deficit disorder and recommended for medication. Creative and individualistic thinking is allowed only within narrow channels. To paraphrase Utah Phillips, our educational system equips us with the tools of the ruling class, but teaches us nothing of the history and the tribulations of the working class. For a thorough discussion of the educational system, please read The Underground History of American Education, written by John Taylor Gatto, New York State teacher of the year in 1991. Mr. Gatto subsequently resigned from his teaching position, and dedicated his life to teaching people about the true nature of the educational system and the development of alternatives. You can read his book online or purchase a print copy at http://johntaylorgatto.com/under 2. Encourage and rely on a social system where anyone who dissents is viewed as deviant. This factor ties in with the socialization process of the schools mentioned above, and with the religious fundamentalism mentioned below. Once you vocalize your dissatisfaction with the current socioeconomic system, you become an outcast and may even be viewed as a pervert. This ostracism has been observed and commented on by social psychologists in a number of social settings. This mechanism is responsible for the insular quality of most social groups, and breeds the "either you're with us or against us" mentality espoused so recently by George W. Bush. Through this mechanism, the influence of the social pariah is limited. The dissident's only hope is to join a social group which shares his or her views. See Whistleblowers: Broken Lives and Organizational Power by C. Fred Alford (Cornell U. P., 2001). 3. Rely on and encourage family dysfunction, so that people are reacting from their own inner wounds and seeking acceptance and forgiveness. Coming from a dysfunctional family, a man or a woman is less likely to practice critical thinking and more likely to think in a reactionary manner based on his or her personal emotional wounds and immature psyche. A member of a dysfunctional family generally harbors some feelings of inadequacy and will strive to conform and be a good citizen in order to gain acceptance and to be forgiven for his or her perceived faults or failings. For a powerful study of the relationship between authoritarian parenting and the espousal of punitive and authoritarian policies in adult life, see The Politics of Denial, by Michael Millburn and Sheree Conrad (M.I.T. Press, 1998). 4. Reinforce the atomization of society so that people have fewer opportunities to communicate openly. The atomization of society is an effect of the commercialization of everyday life and the privatization of the commons, along with the growth of private car ownership. The barn raising, the fall harvest, the sewing circle, the Sunday picnic, and barter have been replaced by freeways, shopping malls and television. The effect of this atomization of society is the limitation of public discussion and social activity. Instead of basing your view of reality on the world you perceive around you and an open discussion of issues, reality largely becomes a construct of the electronic media. Neighbors become nuisances at best, and the community at large is perceived to be a hostile place of drug fiends, rapists and muggers. The friendly stroll is replaced by the harassed drive where you must vie for the road with other aggressive drivers. The friendly barter or community market is replaced with an impersonal commercial outlet where you must compete with other shoppers for overpriced goods which are generally supplied by underpaid workers. See Geography Of Nowhere: The Rise And Decline of America's Man-Made Landscape, by James Howard Kunstler (Free Press, 1994), and Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, by Robert Putnam (Simon and Schuster, 2000). 5. Keep people stressed, afraid and insecure, while reporting that the economy is improving using only data for the upper percentiles of the population. This factor actually comprises several factors which interact to keep people in a state of confusion, frightened, insecure and wondering where they went wrong. Though it is instilled in us at public schools that this is a free country where anyone can become a millionaire if she simply puts her mind to it, people find themselves struggling just to stay afloat, working long hours or holding down two or three jobs. The effect is to keep workers stressed, preventing them from thinking clearly and leaving them without the time and inclination to study the important issues and take a critical look at major events. The stressed individual is, instead, inclined to simply accept what is presented to him or her in a few minutes of televised news broadcast or in a glance at the headlines of the daily newspaper. While struggling to stay afloat, the stressed worker is presented with a picture of a healthy and robust economy, where the stock market is bounding and the economy is awash in prosperity. This picture of economic prosperity is not tainted by statistics such as the number of chronically unemployed who have used up their unemployment benefits, or the number of underemployed. This economic picture does not mention that in comparison with the cost of living the wages of the average worker have actually been in decline for the past thirty years, or that CEOs now make up to 500 times what their blue collar employees earn. It does not mention how overvalued the stock market has become, the derivatives bubble, the housing bubble or any of the other bubbles which are preparing to burst with disastrous effect. It avoids discussing how our economy is subsidized by money laundering, or the large scale looting of our economy. Nor does it portray the level of personal debt, or the skyrocketing number of bankruptcies and foreclosures. In short, the struggling worker is given a picture of the economy from the perspective of a CEO, to go along with the ruling class history which was taught to him and her in school. In trying to reconcile this image of reality with their own struggle to stay afloat, the stressed worker is often left to conclude that he is at fault for failing to take advantage of all the opportunities around him, or that she is simply plagued by bad luck. On top of this, we are bombarded with sensationalized news stories (murders, rapes, robberies, drive-by shootings) which serve to frighten us and make us more wary of social interaction. And then there are the terrorist alerts issued periodically by the Department of Homeland Security: vague, undefined alerts whose purpose can only be to increase public paranoia. For an interesting examination of how our economy actually works, check out Catherine Austin Fitts' website, http://www.solari.com. And her overview, Narco-dollars for Beginners, archived at http://www.ratical.com/co-global 6. Support reactionary thinking and religious fundamentalism. And encourage the projection of fears and personal faults onto the Other, making him / her / them the enemy. More than just the opiate of the masses, religion is a control mechanism. All theistic, organized religions tend to subject their believers to authoritarian control. One of the founders of the current fundamentalist movement in the US, Rousas Rushdoony, founder of the Christian Reconstruction Movement, wrote that "Christianity and Democracy are inevitably enemies." (The Independent Republic, R.J. Rushdoony, 1964.) While Rushdoony's ideas for a biblical reworking of the US Constitution and social structure are considered extreme, all of the platforms and goals of the religious right can be traced to his ideas. The religious right seeks nothing less than a restructuring of society along biblical lines. They seek to supplant secular government with Christian (particularly fundamentalist) denominations. It is their goal to disband the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms, the Surgeon General, Housing and Urban Development, and the Departments of Commerce and Labor. The functions of these various departments would either be undertaken by churches, or-in the case of business regulations, labor laws and environmental protection-would be done away with completely. The tools for achieving this are tax cuts, the downsizing of the federal government, and programs such as George W. Bush's Faith Based Initiative. They seek to abolish progressive taxes such as income taxes, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gain tax, corporate income tax, payroll tax and property tax, replacing them with flat taxes and a federal sales tax, both of which would unfairly burden the lower classes. The religious right is slowly chipping away at the separation of church and state which was so important to our founding fathers. They are also waging this battle through the psychologically manipulative use of language, framing the way people think about the secular nature of the Constitution by claiming that the separation of church and state is a myth. For a compendium of information about current church-state issues, see: http://www.infidels.org/library/ http://www.au.org/site/PageServe For a thorough examination of the history and goals of the religious right, visit the following web site, http://www.4religious-right.info Two of the best books available on the nature of fundamentalism and religion in general, are Edmund D. Cohen's The Mind of the Bible Believer (Prometheus Books, 1988), and The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power, by Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad (North Atlentic Books, 1993). The former book is a psychological analysis of the Christian Bible and the mind of the Bible believer. In it, the author builds a strong argument that the New Testament, and indeed the entire Bible, is (among other things) a tool for mind control. This book is essential reading if you want to understand the fundamental Christian mentality. The latter book examines a variety of religions and concludes that religion is a vehicle for establishing authoritarian power over its adherents. 7. Throw any residual dangerous information down the memory hole. The war in Afghanistan (You mean we've still got troops there?), the prison camp at Guantanamo (We're still holding prisoners there? Haven't they gone to trial?), weapons of mass destruction (I don't remember them saying we had proof positive, much less that they could attack the US). As soon as I get out of work this evening, I've got to take Billy to the dentist, and then pick up Suzy from soccer practice. I guess it's MacDonald's for dinner again tonight. When people are overworked, left too stressed and fatigued in their off time to engage in critical thinking, and bombarded by media input which actually helps to numb their cognitive faculties, is it any surprise they can't remember what happened yesterday? 8. Rely on the media to underreport serious issues and leave out important details. Have you heard much about the war in Afghanistan? The Plame investigation? The Congressional investigation into the Bush administration's WMD claims? What about these so-called Iraqi insurgents, where are they all coming from? Have you heard anything about Pakistani ties to Al Qaeda or the 9/11 hijackers? I'll bet you did hear about Saddam Hussein's supposed connection to Al Qaeda, but did you see the subsequent retractions? If you're reading FTW, you probably know about all this - but most of the people around you do not. For a critique of the selectivity and self-censorship of the mainstream media, see the classic study by Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (Pantheon, 1988). For a critique of the selectivity and self-censorship of the "progressive" media, see: http://www.questionsquestions.ne and http://www.oilempire.us/gatekeep 9. Rely on the media to present a frame of reality which places an honest assessment outside of the viewer's comfort zone. All of the sit coms and TV dramas, all of the commercial music and Hollywood movies either present us with some variation of the American dream, or they paint the world as a dangerous place fraught with peril. Even our evening news is staged so that the anchors appear wholesome, trustworthy pillars of the community commenting on what is socially acceptable and what is morally deplorable. Consume and be happy, we are told, but don't venture out into your own neighborhood. Rarely are we informed of the social costs of our American dream, or the destructive side of mass consumption. When this dark side of the dream does intrude, we feel uncomfortable and powerless. It's a shame, but it's best not to think about it. 10. Count on the complicity and compromises of your opponent, while utilizing these complicities and compromises to present yourself as the honest candidate. Kerry could not do the right thing and condemn the Iraqi invasion as unlawful, otherwise he would be guilty of war crimes for voting in favor of the war. Therefore, his stance was disingenuous, and people could detect that he was not being honest. Bush, on the other hand, has been saying the same thing all along, and truly believes in what he is doing (and that is the scary thing). The Democrats, in general, give lip service to supporting the working class and then go on to act in behalf of their corporate sponsors. Meanwhile, the Republicans are quite open about their corporate allegiance, while courting the moral concerns of the religious right. 11. Repeated denial of culpability on major issues which could result in criminal charges (i.e. WMD, prisoner torture, 9-11 complicity, the Plame investigation). Bush vigorously maintains that he has made no mistakes during his years in office. Meanwhile, his administration continually sidesteps on major issues where they are culpable, lying to Congress and the public about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, denying that they encouraged the torture of prisoners, denying that they had any foreknowledge of or involvement in 9/11, refusing to release important records of Cheney's energy task force - the list goes on and on. The repetition serves to drill what they are saying into the public consciousness, even when it is an outright lie. Part of this robotic repetition of patent falsehoods is based on Bush's personal pathology, and part is based on an incredibly cynical practice of strategic opinion management by his handlers, chiefly Karl Rove. For the former, see for instance The Bush Dyslexicon: The Sayings of George W. Bush (W.W. Norton, 2002) by Mark Crispin Miller, excerpted at: http://www.alternet.org/story/10 12. Appeal to emotions using keywords and images; subconscious suggestion through staged media events. How many times have we seen Bush speaking with a gathering of police, firemen, or military personnel in the background? The implication is that he has their full support. How many times during the campaign did we see Bush dressed casually, leaning on the platform, chewing the fat with common folks? How many times has he linked the words pride, American and freedom? How many times has he linked the words terrorist and evil? 13. Control the terms of conversation and debate using verbal framing. neurolinguistic programming (NLP). The terrorists have declared a war on freedom while our imperialistic efforts are a War on Terrorism. The invasion of Iraq is a mission to free the Iraqis from dictatorship and bring democracy to the region. Ditto Afghanistan. There is no Iraqi resistance, it is a terrorist insurgency. The legislation which trimmed the Bill of Rights was the Patriot Act. The effort to limit our freedom, crush diversity, and oppress women and minorities is a desire for moral values. Right? For more on framing and how it is used in politics, see http://www.rockridgeinstitute.or 15. Focus on minor, sensationalized issues which favor your candidate. This year it was gay marriage. While polls show that the majority of Americans could care less whether a gay couple gets married or not, the religious right galvanized their followers around this issue. With the divorce rate as high as it is, what does that say about the sanctity of marriage? I suspect the religious right was worried that gay couples would have a lower divorce rate than heterosexual couples. Common decency makes it obvious that consenting adults ought to marry whom they choose - but to spell that out is to legitimize the artificial frenzy that moved this issue to the center of an entire election. Conclusion We have reviewed some of the major factors behind Bush's popular support. As Mike Ruppert says, while documenting voting irregularities is important, it is an exercise for historians. If we are to have any hope of changing the direction in which this country is heading, then we have to understand why so many people supported Bush against their own economic, ethical, social and spiritual interests. Analyzing the factors enumerated above, we must develop new strategies for breaking through delusion and denial so that we can help bring people to their senses before our Constitution is completely supplanted by Christian Fascism.

lol Mike ruppert.. I used to know that guy when he was a crack-pot and nobody took him seriously. I never thought I`d see the day where people take him seriously and how popular hes become amazes me.
Thats sounds like the book clinton read, while he tried to push Al-qaeda and uss cole under the rug to prevent fear from effecting the economy. Republicans are gay; but not as gay as people try to portray them. If there where no terrorists or saddam regimes they wouldnt need to rig the election to try and fix the mistakes bush senior and reagan made. at least they admit to their mistakes eventually and attempt to reconcile through vote fraud. We cant sit back and let hitler run around killing everybody and you`ll be looking for warlords to pay off if he endangered your family. The worlds a better place with al qaeda getting bombed and saddam out of office. Dictators in the middle east make bush look like jeebus. Like I said Im willing to fight oppression. You see bush as your oppressor I think. and you`re very confused about what the bush administration is about and their business dealings wich they refuse to answer questions on. Very secretive because they have things to hide that get blown up to bigger lies. and sometimes nobody listens to the answer so why bother or people dont understand its not that yur stupid its just your drowning in information and alot of it is disinformation your not weeding out or investigating. I like the new world order like clinton said "How can we be an independent sovereign nation leading the world in a world that is increasingly interdependent." Hell how can we even survive with murdererous anti american regimes just begging to nuke america. I like the idea of imposing child labor laws on other countries too. Bush is a dick about it; but thats the kind of attitude we need to impose our will like a dictator across the globe. And we got to be crooked and sleezy to adapt and survive if we are going to do world business. Sorry it had to be America to emerge as world police Fuckin pussy U.N. controlled by france. I`d rather bitch slap N.K. to stop using slave labor, than compete with their factories by turning americans into slaves. and thats where the NiKE attitude is going to take us. Thats americas compartmentalization in effect where people do things without looking at the full ramifications or just fucking people for their own pleasures. I would give my life in a war to keep the world from being enslaved by evil dictators like hitler. Be french until hitler comes and fucks you. America is crooked because they have to be to screw bastards IE sheep in wolfs clothing. Its not that I need to awaken into a greater state of awareness from my disinformation haze its the other way around. Bull is bull no matter how defaming they dont care about your opinion. since they rig the votes and decided 80% of the population doesnt know whats best for them through unawareness through your stated bread and circus diet. Bunch of proles I`d rather not leave my life or death decisions hanging on, so rig them votes. -------------------- "Please read and learn and relay knowledge not misinformation! Thank you"-hyphae
