Super Spy Agencies To Merge

9/11 Families Rejoice

A bill expressing the commission's recommendations has been passed through congress. Now we will have one big spy agency that spies on everyone. The CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, and eleven more agencies rolled into one complete unit under one person. And where is the oversight by the representatives of the people? From what I've heard of the size of the bill, I wonder if anyone has read it. Does this mean more political assassinations at home and abroad? It only makes sense. What other way could there be to run a total police state? I guess that's progress. Why resist what's inevitable?

About the Election and the Optical Scan Votes

I, for one, would feel more re-assured about the outcome of the presidential election and its integrity if there were a recount of the optical scan votes, since there is such a discrepancy between the polling projections and the results on those machines. There can be no meaningful recount of the touch-screen votes, but we have a paper trail for the optically scanned ones. Also, the number of votes counted and the number of people who voted don't seem to match in most cases - in Florida counties at least - with more votes counted than voters; which calls for a recount in and of itself. There is no real mandate for the Bush-Cheney agenda if the election was rigged. And, we all need to have confidence in the voting process for democracy to work. Electronic computer counting of votes is open to hacking and glitches, and needs verification.

Bush wins Re-election

Unfortunately, with electronic voting and no paper trail for almost half the votes, we can never really know for sure if it was a legitimate victory. And more war is definitely coming, but I can't say exactly when. Henry Kissinger recently said in an article in Newsweek that no matter who became president, pre-emptive war is the new world order's assignment for America.

My Comment on the Non-Debate

Concentrating on who will be the next war president (who will fight the fight the best in war and whose war will be the better plan), the amiable non-confrontation between the candidates, the choreographed spectacle for the masses has begun in this arena. Focus your attention on the center ring. And which is the best war candidate?

Kerry "confronted" Bush on his war policy on North Korea, and then Bush "confronted" Kerry. All the while Bush has probably already slated that war for November -- right after the one against Iran and Syria in alliance with the Israelis in October. Yet, I see but a little difference between them; the choices in the race seem almost irrelevant.

Just a short note -
Remember, you heard it here first.

The Republican Convention

( I'm not really trying to ignore you, I'm just very tired of the lies.)

If what I read is correct, when they call fascism democracy and provoke fights and call their opponents aggressors, then that's just the Republican party doing its thing. Expect more war, because the Republican platform is war and they've apparently started their convention looking for war on China and North Korea. I'm pretty sure Iran is on that list also. I think maybe the Democratic platform isn't all that much different either. But be on the look-out for pre-emptive strikes, and oh yeah, al-Qaeda.

Casualties in Najaf Battle

According to the DoD records at Lunaville's Coalition Casualty Count http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx?hndRef=8-2004 , only eleven US soldiers were killed in fighting in Najaf in the month of August out of sixty killed in the same period in all of Iraq. Hundreds of Sadr's militants and followers were said to have been killed along with some unknown amount of civilians. The shrine itself is to be closed for ten days and US troops will remain in the city until Allawi deems that the Iraqi police are ready to take over the job. And according to the media, the Shia leadership has called for an end to armed resistance, but the clerics later denied it. Fighting still goes on across other cities in Iraq.

Sistani Comes to Najaf

As a man of peace, Sistani came to Najaf. Will U.S. troops recede and fighting stop? I hope so, but I also wonder.

My Prediction (maybe I shouldn't say anything and just shut up from now on)

My Prediction ...

Here's what I postulate: (JMHO)



Bush is starting world war with Syria, Iran and North Korea among others just about right now. He doesn't seem to care or thinks it's the right thing to do, but America could likely be nuked and largely defeated in the world arena. And all the riches which you counted on will be lost. It may be there won't be any election in 2004 because of it; that is, there will be no election in November if the US military is largely defeated and US cities lie in radioactive ruin with the nation under martial law.

The US may well suffer some defeat because of this battle now going on in Najaf, by God - not to mention the torture at Abu Grahib. I will try to stay the course myself as well, but more than likely you will probably think I'm crazy, and you might be right. I probably shouldn't say anything at all. But, somehow I just can't see how massacring tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and taking over their country was a Christian act. But if all you self-proclaimed "Christians" say so, then who am I to disagree? I'm still waiting for God to make good on His promises to me. Anyone can make a promise, but how many ever keep one?

I guess I just don't get it. I've heard all the rationalizations of those in power in this nation, but somehow I must be missing something important. Preemptive war doesn't seem to make all that much sense to me. Preemptive peace makes more sense I would think. Those who call me a contrarian might be right. Everyone in the world seems to be trying to make me not care anymore. They call me the fool and say my thoughts and opinions are worthless. They only try to beat me down and destroy me for fun and profit. But it is written that God is judge and power belongs to Him. The policy of this country doesn't make sense to me. Death and destruction is the path mankind is on. The sharp teeth of the war machine devours the earth and the war-profiteers live the high life.

Curious Forceful Earth Energy Burst Reported

On June14th this year, four days after the G8 Economic Summit at Sea Island which is very close to King's Bay nuclear submarine base in Georgia, EMSC Seismology recorded a 6.1 magnitude earthquake just off the coast at 23:00 hrs UTC. Now this event was not broadcast by any news service that I know of, and the USGS doesn't mention it. Not many seemed to pay any attention to this detection by those machines. Quite a curious thing though. What was the cause of the registration on instruments? Did anyone around there feel a quake? Or, could it have been an echo of some powerful new sonar? Are citizens even allowed to know such stuff anymore? Then again, do you really want to know?

Here are a couple of links:

Democracy and Tyranny American Style

People will probably complain that when it comes time to vote they must choose between the lessers of two or more evils. And it's basically true, because no decent person would willingly desire to be in charge of this country that is run by and for greedy, corrupt corporations and individuals. Instead of democracy, it's the Enrons that put candidates in office, and it's the GEs and Halliburtons that tell us how to live everyday on TV. If your own politicians whom you support don't care about the American people anymore, why should I? Almost nobody seems to care about me anyhow. It's not like there is anything inherently good about the American people. We were just lucky enough to have some wise forefathers who realized what democracy should be and how we could continue to live like a free people. But, we haven't much lived up to that calling ever.

If the Iraqis ever really get a choice and become a real democracy, they'd most likely kick the US right out of their country. They might even join together with Iran and other Muslim countries in the region and forcibly eliminate any remaining occupying troops from what they call their holyland if those troops happen to stay that long.

About the War on Terror .. Osama bin Who?

So this has been the beginning so far of the war on terror, and we've already been told over and over to expect much more. Bush and Cheney won't relent on war and tell us to be ready for new attacks everywhere, here and there. They've just focused on Iraq strategically right now due to its position and its oil. Iran and Syria look to be up next, as well as North Korea - war on multiple fronts. This machine isn't going to back up; the engines are in forward gear. I think it will grind itself and others to the ground.

It's either victory or defeat now, everyone knows - annihilation and/or slavery under oppression. And all that is offered, all the options seem to be unacceptable proposals.

So, I'm still waiting to see what happens. But, I wish I could get a ticket to another planet, somewhere to find peace, and that's for sure. I don't really want to see the results on earth anymore. Anyway I expect things to heat up greatly in the Middle East soon, and somehow I don't think I'm the only one who feels that way.

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States

Out of all those who should be held responsible for the terror of 9/11, the presidentially ordained commission on Tuesday turned on the firemen and policemen who came to the aid of those in the twin towers. They blamed them for lack of communication. Bush, Cheney and the rest of this administration they didn't wish to offend, but instead they lambast those who were heroes in that catastrophe. And what about the FBI, CIA, FAA, and NORAD?

Maybe they're taking revenge on those firemen who witnessed it firsthand and said at the time that it looked as though those buildings had been demolished (as in a purposeful demolition). This upbraiding by the commission of rescue workers is more than "despicable" it seems to me, even if improvements could be made. The whole inquiry stinks to high heaven IMHO. Can you say "cover-up" once again?

Nuclear Armeggedon

American people, looks like you've jumped off a cliff! And I know you won't be asking for any help after so many people told you not to, least not from me. It's a little late anyway, don't you think? Pretty steep fall though! I don't know if I have a rope that long. Maybe you'd better look for another way out. Looks like you're almost on your own, with the exception of some British troops. It seems you're beyond the end of the rope.

If the Arabs wanted to destroy the U.S., all they need to do is cut off the oil they send us. And if the Iraqis wanted to do the same, all they need to do is set up ambushes for small patrols and leave the big ones alone.

But still, Bush knows that he can destroy the whole earth with just a simple code word and a push of a button. Or at least, that's what we've all been told.

Rumsfeld Loves It

Rumsfeld flew to Baghdad today and visited troops at Abu Ghraib prison telling them how much "fun" it is to be questioned by those troops. Maybe they should put him in the prison, strip him naked, rape him, hook him up to an electrical current and then beat him to death. He loves it! And it would be fair and just. But, it's somewhat doubtful that they would get the truth out of him anyway though. (I hope you don't mind my sarcasm.)

The Signs of 'Moral Superiority'

It really does come down to the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

So one part might have shown another how they love to be bombed by bombing the other. And the other responds by showing how they too love not only to be bombed, but raped, robbed, pillaged, beaten, abused and murdered also by sowing these seeds among them. One says, "We'll see your bomb and raise you a megaton." And as the stakes grow higher, one tells the other, "the ball is now in your court. Your move and then I'll have to call your bluff."

And in this manner the people of the world compete. They say "bring it on" and ask each other in the contest "can you do it as well as I can? Can you make as many dead and mutilated bodies as this? Can you take away from those poor people as much in order to accumulate riches and glory? Can you come close to matching this blind rage and hatred? We will show you how it's done, and give you a lesson on how to lie, steal and kill, and not only get away with it but be praised for doing so."

Last one left standing wins the prize, and the goal is the last can of gasoline left to feed the machine in a desolate, wasted world. And then they will say, "lucky me, I must be good." and then they will pass away.

So you may watch the game, but sideline seats are reserved and satellite pay-for-view is expensive. Participation may well also become no longer voluntary. You bought it, now you must pay the price.

This quote is attributed to Richard Perle: "If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war . . . our children will sing great songs about us years from now."

Dum-de-dum-dum-DUMB

Mike and Mickey

Update:
Michael Moore has reportedly admitted it was just a publicity stunt and that he knew a year ago that Disney wouldn't distribute his new film.

Secrecy Pervades

Secret testimony, secret abuses, secret searches, secret lawsuits, and secreted films.

Recently:
FBI translator Sibel Edmonds was prevented from testifying by the Department of Justice about what her superiors knew about the 911 attacks using an old "State Secrets" privilege. Bush and Cheney testified in secret about what they knew about 911 to the docile commission. CBS was ordered to delay showing the photos of prisoner abuses in Iraq's infamous Abu Ghraib prison while Falluja was under siege. Hundreds of secret searches have been done under the Patriot Act. The ACLU was barred from disclosing its lawsuit against parts of the Patriot Act. And now patriot Michael Moore's new film "Fahrenheit 911", about Bush, 911, and the Saudis is being blocked from distribution by Mickey Mouse. What ever happened to you, Mickey? Don't want even Donald Duck to speak up anymore?

A Secret Investigation

The President and Vice President have given their answers together before the commission investigating the horror that came on 9/11 in 2001, and what they had to do with it. It's just too bad that no one outside of that commission is allowed to hear their testimony. No longer do "we the people" have a right to know what our leaders are doing or not doing, or what they have done or not done. And I guess that's the end of it, because in exchange for their testimony the White House has stated that no one else from their administration can be called forward to testify about events related to that day. The investigation seems to be over, and the likely conclusion will be that ours isn't yet enough of a police state, that more terrorism can be expected, and the citizens need to give up more rights and any freedom they still possess.

My Country, Right And Wrong - By Dom Stasi, April 29, 2004

"The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." -- Marcus Aurelius

' ... For the phrase - My country, right or wrong - as a direct quotation, is incorrect. In fact, just like virtually everything else the majority of Americans are willing to believe, it's wrong as hell. The actual quotation, as spoken by the celebrated German-born, United States Senator, Carl Schurz back in the Nineteenth Century, is very different from that with which we've grown familiar and to which we've obediently ascribed in the post-millennial darkness that is Twenty-First Century America. It's worlds-apart different. It's true meaning diametric to the blind obedience implied by the corrupt, "My Country, Right Or Wrong." ...

' ... "My country," declared Senator Carl Schurz, "If right, to be kept right, and, if wrong, to be set right." ...

' ... "The American people" Schurz continued, "should be specially careful not to permit themselves to be influenced in their decisions by high-sounding phrases of indefinite meaning, by vague generalities, or by seductive catchwords appealing to unreasoning pride and reckless ambition. More than ever, true patriotism now demands the exercise of the soberest possible discernment.

"I am far from denying that this republic, as one of the great powers of the world, has its responsibilities. But what is it responsible for? Is it to be held, or to hold itself, responsible for the correction of all wrongs done by strong nations to weak ones, or by powerful oppressors to helpless populations? Is it, in other words, responsible for the general dispensation of righteousness throughout the world? Neither do I deny that this republic has a mission, and I am willing to accept what we are frequently told, that this mission consists in 'furthering the progress of civilization.' But does this mean that wherever obstacles to the progress of civilization appear, this republic should at once step in to remove those obstacles by means of force, if friendly persuasions do not avail? Every sober-minded person will admit that under so tremendous a task any earthly power, however great, would soon break down." ... '

The Main Story

Well maybe the biggest story lately came on about the twenty-second of the month when an explosion or two occurred in Ryongchon, North Korea leaving deep craters, and almost half the wounded were blinded. Was that Earth Day? What is the official reason again? - Oh yeah, an "accident" that's cloaked in secrecy.

Joe Vialls has a theory, and below I'm posting a link. Does he have access to highly classified information? It's an interesting link, but it seems no one is able to verify what he is saying until very much later. Has the US already been using "mini-nukes"? You know the mainstream media would never come out with stuff of this nature. It seems secrets are everywhere. You don't think so? No? OK then. :)

Here's the link: Ryongchon - Nuclear Trigger for American Conscription?

The Lull Before The Storm

It's been a trying two weeks since I last blogged, you might say. The marines and aircraft are still waiting for the call to strike Fallujah again. The occupation will try to make another example, I guess; and make more enemies all over Iraq and the world - an iron boot shown as the symbol of occupation. But, maybe the main story of the last week is the end of operations in Pakistan to seize or kill followers of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. And in other news the Muslim world seems to be gathering together and raising a call for vengeance. Yet wait a second, look out for those bombs falling all around soon again, folks! So I'll be quiet for a bit. Be ye therefore ready, or as the Boy Scouts' motto says, "Be prepared."

That Bet I Mentioned -

I guess I'll have to admit that I think the Iraqis will win this rebellion against the occupation of the "coalition", though again I'm not real certain about that outcome or the future in general.

Is it too hard to believe?

What was the plan again? Invade Iraq to get rid of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction? Or, did someone say "oil"?

It might be hard to believe that this administration never envisioned that maybe a few million snipers, civil war, or even total rebellion might happen when they thought up their plan to invade and occupy Iraq. "Bring 'em on," Bush said. And, if there weren't "terrorists" there already, it's more than likely that there are some now, and maybe a lot more in the making.

But, the oil wells are secure, aren't they? Too bad it takes miles and miles of pipeline to deliver it. Say, and where is that oil anyway; where is it going? We could probably use some about now. It seems the spigot isn't running too well. Wasn't that really what this war was about?

And when snipers do fire, the coalition war machine bombs the villages and strafes the streets with automatic firepower from helicopters and tanks. In this "crusade" by Bush, is this the "mission accomplished" of which he spoke? Is that the meaning of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and "democracy"?

With millions of irate Muslims against about a hundred thousand troops, who has the advantage? Place your bets. Ah, the fruits and folly of empire ... death, destruction, rebellion and yet still plenty of slaves to go around. But then again, no oil = no economy it would seem in this day and age. If only we could harvest that cosmic energy that Nikola Tesla talked about. (Those crazy "free energy" enthusiasts!) Is there no hope for a better world today?

9/11 Investigation - Conspiracy?

I don't think I've commented much about 9/11 myself, if at all. I've left it mostly for others since I have no concrete evidence or proof if anyone should ask. I've been reading some pretty good commentary on this lately though, not necessarily in the mainstream news, but on the internet. It would take more than one website at least to even attempt to cover it all, far too much to say here. But from what I've read, there are some seemingly plausible conspiracy theories that abound, speculating that it is possible that there were actually no accidental intelligence failures leading to the attacks on September 11th. Instead of incompetence, it is suggested that it was with foreknowledge, with complicity, enabling the terrorist's own plot, and then using the tragedy for political ends. Those plans to destroy the World Trade towers could have been facilitated and then even co-opted by some unscrupulous high command (possibly not even elected to office in our government) in order to create an atmosphere conducive to their plans for war, world conquest, and total control of the masses of humanity. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were just the beginnings of that plan for global domination - pick on the weakest parts first.

That is one theory then, that those in power not only wanted the attacks to happen, but they helped it along the way and made it happen. Was 9/11 a black covert operation by the CIA and others to hijack the hijackers and bring the twin towers down in order to prepare the way for an endless war in Asia and the Middle East to secure the valuable region for the oil industry? You can recall that this plan for "a new Pearl Harbor" and war for oil and global dominance was put forward some years ago by the leaders who are now in office, members of the PNAC who call for a new American empire.

The theory then is that the al-Qaeda threat wasn't totally neglected, but was perceived and even nurtured, used for the purposes of the military-industrial complex and Big Oil for a plan that had been standing by for years waiting for final implementation by Big Money. And so far the plans have been evolving somewhat along the order of the original plot which they have stated. And, these conflicts were designed and created toward the end of profiting from war and that the Illuminati should control everyone and everything on earth. Quite a conspiracy theory, eh? If it's true, then it is very worrisome indeed, is it not? It would also mean that we are in very serious danger from our own leaders. For what could they have in store for us next?

Have I driven home this point enough, that they do have the ability to do this in America? I doubt though somehow that their ambitions to rule the whole world can be fulfilled without nearly total destruction. But anyway, here are some other accusations of this theory:

* The planes could have been operated and flown by remote control into the twin towers. It is even possible that two sets of planes were used in the strategy and the ones that hit the tower were substitute planes.

* Flight 93 was probably shot down over Pennsylvania.

* It is more likely that a missile or a military jet struck the Pentagon than a jetliner.

* The World Trade Towers were demolished by explosives, which had been implanted in the buildings before the hijackings, and made sure the buildings would fall while the firefighters were called to action and the people in the towers sought to escape.

* The Air Force was ordered to not follow normal standard operating procedure and mandatory protocol but to "stand down" at the time of the hijackings.

Our Commander-in-Chief says, "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty."

And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, you might see what you don't want to see. But then, maybe it's something we should all think about some more.

Ephan Butz says "peace". Is he kidding or just being contrary?

There are some who might deride him and call him crazy, but if both the sides of conflict profit from the power of the violence of terror could it not then be in the same coin? And if slaughter is their business, why then would war ever stop? If war didn't make some people rich, would it still continue? That's not that big an if'n. The 'magic 8-ball says "all signs point to yes",' but hopefully maybe just for a short time.
Vote for Ephan Butz! :) Er, what? No *peace* candidate? No Ephans or Butz?

Blind Trust of Leaders

A judge in the state of Florida has recently declared that its voters have no right to verifiable votes on the new touch-screen voting machines. State election officials seem to be saying, "just trust us and have no concern whatsoever about verification." But should we just trust those who rigged the last presidential election by keeping registered voters from voting and refused to accept the mandatory recount?

Or, should we trust the US Supreme Court that stopped the state's right to count and verify the tally of its votes, and says that the American people have no constitutional right to vote? And based their decision on whether their favored candidate might lose?

One quarter of the nation's voters will be using unverifiable touch-screen voting machines this election year that are open to hacking, have been shown many times to have miscalculated ballots, and have no verifiable paper trail. Yet our election officials say the only recount for touch-screen ballots will be to add up the totals used in the precincts and see if they match what the total number of voters should be. What if the totals show a mathematical error and the numbers don't match? Will they then throw out all the votes of a precinct and start over, telling those voters to come back and vote again on many of the same machines? There's almost certainly going to be some discrepancy judging from the recent history of these electronic voting machines that have been foisted upon a generally unwilling public. My main question is, why can't we have a paper trail? Although no system is likely to completely eliminate the possibility of fraud, a paper trail should be mandatory on all voting machines. The whole process is worthless without validation of the results.

And what difference does voting make anyway, if the only choices you are allowed to make are between one elite Skull and Bones man and another? For this to happen, the entire system must surely be rigged and the American people just too dumb to care.

------

In other news, Bill O'Reilly has apologized for his Iraq pre-war stance on its WMD. Whoop-Tee-Doo! Does that mean it's alright to be a hate-spewing warmonger who urges this nation to invade and destroy another nation based on lies and innuendos without concern for world opinion as long as you just say "sorry" afterward? It's just a rhetorical question, that I ask generally, about anyone.

Mars' True Colors

I highly recommend visiting the European Space Agency's website for the latest high resolution true color photos of Mars. Maybe NASA doesn't feel it owes the people of the world very many true color photos because people just might think that those green areas are some sort of vegetation.

Musharraf's Nuclear Secret

Musharraf has pardoned A. Q. Khan for selling nuclear technology to Libya, North Korea, Iran and possibly Malaysia, and says there will be no investigation of his own or the military's role in the illegal transfer and proliferation. Khan has taken the full responsibility himself and has been pardoned. Well, that's all now conveniently swept under the rug. Be careful on your way out not to trip over that big lump on the floor. No need for nuclear inspectors in that rogue state. Don't look there because it would be rude. And, he's not REALLY protecting bin Laden, it just seems that way.

6-Way Talks On NKorea

China has helped set up another round of 6-way talks with North Korea, the US, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea, scheduled to begin February 25th in Beijing. But has either of the two principals really changed their stance since the last round of talks that produced nothing but more bitterness? Will Bush negotiate with an "axis of evil"? Last December Vice President Cheney said in reference to North Korea, "I have been charged by the President with making sure that none of the tyrannies in the world are negotiated with. We don't negotiate with evil; we defeat it." And North Korea said it would never give up its "nuclear deterrent" unless its security was guaranteed and aid recommenced. I guess you can only hope that talking will in fact lead to an understanding that nuclear war isn't the only path that can be taken and some agreement can be reached.

Still, everyone knows that both the US and North Korea have enough nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons of mass destruction.

Opportunistic Speculation

Russia is planning a test of their readiness for all-out nuclear war sometime in the middle of this month, and guess who the exercise targets. That's right, the USA. Is it just a coincidence or is it a little strange that Russia's largest military exercise in twenty years comes after the US warns them off the Caspian Sea region and insults their political system under Putin?

This exercise probably will occur as the talks with North Korea break down again because this administration refuses to negotiate with that rogue state about their nuclear missile capabilities. Bush appears unwilling to accept their offer to scrap their nuclear program in return for humanitarian aid for their beleaguered, desperate, hungry, and starving nation.

The anti-missile defense based in Alaska and California is about to be put in place after those few successful tests that were also rigged. Now all this administration has to do is to convince any potential adversary to put homing beacons on their ICBMs, not to use multiple warheads and decoys, and only send a few missiles at a time.

While the Russians say it's a test of their systems, militarily it would only make good strategic sense from their position to pretend and say it's a test and then use the exercise to make their own pre-emptive strike against the world's most threatening nation whose tentacles are ever encroaching on their influence and on the world's resources. They may now well believe, as the neo-cons do, that nuclear war is inevitable and strike while the iron is hot against an arrogant, decadent, and aggressive bully. It just makes sense to use an exercise as cover for an overt strike. Any attack works best when it comes as a surprise, and such an exercise would be excellent cover for a real attack. Possibly, now is their best opportunity not to become marginalized globally as the US increases its own military capabilities and bases around the world. The US could go from code yellow terrorist alert to defcon 1 in the blink of an eye.

Maybe not though. This is just speculation, and I hope I don't unnecessarily alarm anyone. I know it's probably just a preparation for the real thing which could possibly happen at any time.

Putin and Powell and Pervez

It looks as if Bush has sent Colin Powell to stir up a little more friction with Russia, telling them to shape up on the "democracy" thing. Powell has sent a message to Russia though, not to worry that the US will set up bases in Georgia. He says there is no plan for that. Sure, but what about the rest of those bases around the Caspian Sea and Eastern Europe, or the subtle threat that it also is on the list of the PNAC's nations subject to regime change?

And, is Pakistan ready now for US troops? Ready or not ...

Hey, guess what?

Here, I think I've found a solution to some of the world's problems. I say no one gets paid money anymore. Your money is now worthless. Every note in every nation no longer has any value. All banks go into default, and all deposits are void. So now, how will you get along? Or, will you or not? Such a simple solution. I should have thought of it before. :)

If the International Monetary Fund is worried, Bush's motto seems to be "What, me worry?" :) LOL

Opinion: My Pessimism and a Fragment of Hope

My interpretation of prophecy at this time is that the USA will be mainly embroiled in fighting Muslims in Central Asia and the Mideast until the Chinese get fed up with it and set out to kill 'em all who are in that area. But this interpretation is still open to revision. That is, I don't know for sure. :)

Sometimes I wish that I could change things. I'd love to change the world. But that's the way it goes, "first your money, then your clothes, then they break your f...ing nose." And that's not all folks...

I would think that there'd be a big fight over world-(and near earth orbit)-domination and oil. And, missile shields won't do much good at all. I could be wrong; most people would do a lot of backing down in order to avoid being nuked, almost anything maybe.

Much of it could be a surprise. But, is the present course of the human race sustainable? One surprise factor could be extraterrestrials. Anyway, we'll see ... possibly. But, I just don't see the situation improving. You got any other solutions? I don't see "preventative war" as a working model myself. Can we turn this ship around?
