Now, what are the Americans waiting for?

The Coincidence Theorist's Guide to 9/11

I came across this on WhatReallyHappened: The Coincidence Theorist's guide to 9/11. If people don't believe in conspiracy theories, they shouldn't believe the official 9/11 story either, because frankly, it's more absurd than any 'conspiracy theory' I have seen.

It details what you are asked to believe if you insist on believing the official story.

A small excerpt from it:

That Hani Hanjour, the pilot of Flight 77, was so incompetent he could not fly a Cessna in August, but in September managed to fly a 767 at excessive speed into a spiraling, 270-degree descent and a level impact of the first floor of the Pentagon, on the only side that was virtually empty and had been hardened to withstand a terrorist attack, merely demonstrates that people can do almost anything once they set their minds to it.

That none of the flight data recorders were said to be recoverable even though they were located in the tail sections, and that until 9/11, no solid-state recorder in a catastrophic crash had been unrecoverable, shows how there's a first time for everything.

Shia Muslim Rebels Threaten Peace On Earth

Moqtada al-Sadr is a bloodthirsty maniac on whom logic has long been lost to a twisted fundamentalist form of death worshiping Muslim hysteria.
So sayeth Rev. Pat Robertson.

Moqtada al-Sadr has destroyed any legitimacy in the coalition occupation of Iraq and it's puppet government in negotiating this nearly instant release of James Brandon from a well organized professional kidnap squad. This squad had captured this British journalist for the sole purpose of pressuring the coalition to quit the occupation. Forces that Mr al-Sadr is currently being hunted by. The fact that the televised killing of Mr Brandon would not achieve this was most probably not lost on him. The fact that he didn't let it happen shows that he does not use the power he has found in fighting the occupation to wantonly kill it's distant beneficiaries.

The legitimacy of a government, of a state, is found in what it provides. The security of it's citizens is first on that list. Second comes the recognition and enforcement of the these citizen's rights.

One of the highest priorities of the British forces in Basra is the security of British civilians in their zone of occupation. The fact that the security of Iraqis is one of the last is obvious. It's power to negotiate the release of these citizens must is instrumental to it's power to secure these citizens.

Mr al-Sadr has demonstrated that, for now, British citizens are safer in the hands of his Mahdi Army then in those of the British.

What a complete and utter failure on the part of the British. Never mind a powerful demonstration of al-Sadr's legitimate power.

Murder charges filed on Iraqi War Crimes Trial

They really know how to
pick 'em, don't they?

Prozac in drinking water

This is past scary. Prozac has been found in the drinking water in the United Kingdom.

The newspaper says environmentalists are calling for an urgent investigation into the evidence.

It quotes the Liberal Democrats' environment spokesman, Norman Baker MP, as saying the picture emerging looked like "a case of hidden mass medication upon the unsuspecting public".

After reading this report from the BBC, look at their related stories on the right hand side:

Negative drug research 'withheld'

Anti-depressant advice 'misleading'

Nationalist tensions mar soccer match.

Nationalist tensions are often attributed to warlike European nations. Especially since the end of WW2 the only vocal nation in North East Asia expressing nationalist anger has been the only one which was easily ignored, North Korea. But now that China is finding it's economic strength and a vision for a competitive military is not pipe dream people are not affraid to offend their former enemies. The fact that Japan has stood nearly immune to it's record in WW2 where they killed a good 30-40 million people has not been missed by South Koreans, Chinese, and Vietnamese. The fact that China is finding the strength to express it's anger for this decade long slaughter is simply an occurrence to keep an eye on for now. It will certainly color their relations. And those between China and it's protectors, the USA. The fact of Japanese economic and social decline also means that they do not have so much to stand on when looking down at their neighbors. They will suddenly find themselves much meeker in their points of view when it comes to their relations with them. If they end up giving in it will be an economic slaughter. There is much they have acknowledged for and even less they have paid for.

Last Straw for Al jazeera

Looks like the Interim Governments ban on Aljazeera has given these guys a much stronger attitude to reporting the news from Iraq. I wonder if i'll be able to read their news without seeing some kind of stange hassles while accesing their page from now on.

OOOoooo I'm gonna get that Neegra!

Only in the USA could Yosemety Sam be able to run for office. I'll take this as a test case in the 2004 elections as far as the upcoming intense elctions fraud. Considering this seat has been held for 15 years by a Democrat.
It would be just plain too funny to see this yahoo in congress.
Representative Jame L. Hart was quoted today as saying "God Damnit boy! Leggo ah mah arm, i got a rahght!, I said RAHGHT!, to not let you frisk me! I don't care what your badge says! Ahy ain't letin no colored boy... "
Or "Reblican Representative James L. Hart refused, on grounds of moral rectitude, today to accomany Secratary of State Colin Powell in signing legislature making racial profiling..."

It would be nice for the House of Reps to have its own Zhirivnosky.

Interim Government passes noise ordinance.

Shhh

Iraqi PM publicly citisize US

Ooooo dissent!.
Teeeension, Disssscord! Innnteresting.
When the pupet beings to speak you know the game is about to be called.

Lest we forget

I just wanted to make sure we all knew about this before the US decides to invade Sudan.

One more casualty in the War on Drugs

Afghanistan is back in business, thanks to our friendly neighborhood peacemakers getting rid of the only people willing to tackle the opium growing biz, aka the Taliban.
One of the very few obistacles to heroine's way to the streets of London and Amsterdam is the Tajik DCA run by the UN. Unlike the DEA and Cocaine Import Agency the UN is not that much part of the business bit of the drug business.
So I guess the UN got a bit fidgety when a criminal
was made head of it's Drug Control Agency. I hope this acutally is good news.

How many bombs must be dropped before they end this war.

'Cause this is a bomb. Let's just hope that the 3 tripts don't go the way of David Kelly.

Nostradamus issues terror warning

That was the headline from the Humor Gazette.

Old information is just as good as new one:

"Some asshole named Mohammed, or maybe Abdul, will try to blow something up. But instead of a metal bird crashing down from the sky, look for a brownish 1989 Toyota SR5 pickup truck loaded with ammonium nitrate."

Rolling Stone's still rocking.

With it's birth in the 70s as the best of American counter culture, Hunter Thompson reporting and all, Rolling Stone is once again filling in the gap Big Noise has left so wide open.

Republicans tell their voters not to trust e-voting

Now how about that. After Jeb Bush has been reassuring everybody that electronic voting machines are perfectly safe, and that if you dare question them you are threatening the public's confidence in the electoral process, the Florida Republicans are urging their followers to "make sure your vote counts. Order your absentee ballot today".

So they know the machines are rigged. Read more here about computer-based voting and the massive electoral fraud brewing.
