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...

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...

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.

Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata on Wednesday said he has refused to describe his past work as a private political consultant that is part of an FBI probe because the details are not "particularly interesting." Speaking at a luncheon sponsored by the Sacramento Press Club, the Oakland Democrat also said he believes an FBI investigation into his family and political friends has no merit and was spawned by political enemies as he successfully ran for the top Senate job last year. "I believe this whole thing was inspired by a very poorly written opposition report attacking me and my...

Ever hear of how republican's always call the liberal left "Whiner's"? Well, take a look at Wa. State, ...who are the Whiner's now? LOTS OF LAUGHS! Boy, the shoes on the other foot now! I think it's great, don't you? These people deserve it..! Has anyone seen the comedian on HBO, who gave a discription of a "Republican"? Wow was that great, and very very true.

Oil-for-food scandal actually pretty dull By Rachel Campbell "First of all, this isn't a movie. Second of all, even if it was, none of us could exactly pass for Tom Cruise; so he would be the one screaming that, not us. We would be lucky to be cast as Mute Juror No. 6." ------------------------------------------------------ The Journal Times has gotten a bit of flak lately for not covering the oil-for-food scandal as prominently as some would like. Personally, I haven't covered it thus far because, frankly, there isn't much to report. But in the name of fairness and balance, here's what's...

<YAWN> THE MAN FROM HOPE: been there, done that(REPLUMBED IN PHILLY)   Clinton applies shine to Kerry sneakerBy Boston Herald editorial staffTuesday, October 26, 2004 `Tis the season for surrogates, and yesterday the Kerry campaign rolled out the best it's got in Bill Clinton. Voters will see Republican stars Rudy Giuliani and Arnold Schwarzenegger stumping for President Bush [related, bio] this week, too.      So, who's got the edge in the surrogate wars? Bush, hands down. And it has more to do with what's being said than who's saying it.      Giuliani and Schwarzenegger are appealing to voters for support based...

Putin: Ally or Terrorist? by William F. Jasper Counting Vladimir Putin as an ally against terrorism ignores his career in the murderous KGB/FSB and his ongoing support for terrorist regimes and organizations. ‘‘Lena Goncharuk, aged 38, said that she was the only one to survive out of a group of six who were ordered out of the cellar where they had been hiding and shot at point blank range. Resting in her hospital bed, her voice barely rising above a whisper, she said she had survived only by pretending to be dead." So reported Paul Wood from the Chechen border...

The meeting in Beantown was listed as the Democratic party convention. However, the number of media and gunslingers far exceeded the amount of convention delegates attending. The gunslingers could be pacified with a doughnut or two a day. Not so with the scribbling set. Reporters tend to get a little testy if they are not provided comfort, free food, booze, and bathrooms -- usually in that order. But, the DNC didn't deliver. First, most media people had to go through security lines. Then, to save a few bucks, the DNC skimped on toilets for the media. On top of that,...

LOUIS XVI’s diary entry for 14 July, 1789, consisted of a single word: "Nothing". To be fair to Louis, he used his diary almost exclusively for recording his hunting exploits, so no kill meant nothing of note had happened, however many pike-wielding peasants were dismantling his kingdom as he wrote. Nevertheless, I can’t help feeling that here was an opportunity missed. If only Louis could have slipped a quick "Ooh! Bad news from Paris, or what?" into the long list of "nothings" (he wasn’t a terribly successful hunter) he might have gained a few more fans - posthumously, at least....

The main factors appear to suggest that he shouldn't pick anyone who might tend to overshadow him and it should be someone who would tend to make him appear more moderate but also someone he would feel comfortable with politically. Right away we have to dismiss the two most glaringly obvious candidates, Kim Il Sung jr and Mullah Omar since, I believe, they're not US citizens. Michael Moore has been mentioned since he would mirror Kerry's views on Iraq and help tremendously with the leftist fat slob voter but reportedly he has turned down the offer and will only accept...

<p>A medical examiner's report on the death of diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins suggests that he had a history of heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension.</p> <p>The document, a report of external examination from the chief medical examiner's office in New York, also says that at his death Dr. Atkins weighed 258 pounds. Dr. Atkins died in April last year at age 72 of a head injury from a fall on ice while walking to work. The report attributes the death to a "blunt impact injury of head." The report was sent to The Wall Street Journal by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates a vegetarian diet and has long been critical of the Atkins approach.</p>

The Democrats were lucky we were at this event, because otherwise the poor Firefighters would have fallen asleep from boredom. Picture it: An evening of impossibly dull speeches, all alike. The speaker thanks the firefighters for inviting him, thanks the firefighters for all the hard work they are doing, takes about a minute tooting his own horn, and tells them to be sure to walk precincts and talk to people and get out there to vote! By the time this pattern is repeated five or six times, even the dumbest Firefighter is going to have gotten the idea. Well, we...
