I dont know if he acted alone, but I do believe heavily that the therory of a conspiracy is much higher then most people realize.

A few years ago i happen to be out in Touscan Arizona and there is a airplane museum there and the last prop driven air fore one is there.

While i was taking a tour, the guide went into the assasination and pointed out something that got my attention.

When Kennedy went to Dallas, they took the prop plane. However the new Jet Air Force One was being readied to send to dallas to replace it and would be the transport for the rest of the trip.

When Kennedy was killed Johnson was waiting on the new Air Force One to go to Dallas.

Very odd that he would be waiting as if he knew.

ok all that sounds like coincidence,,, untill i started looking at the politics of the time.

So.. in world history for a project we have to write an essay..

but they collected our books..

which was "smart".. because all of the answers were there..

so could you umm.. give me some pointers on at least one of these..

okay..

1. Identify some of the positive and negative aspects of imperialism.

2. Compare the colonization of the Amercias by Portugal, Spain, England, the Netherlands, and France. How were they similar? How were they different? What influences from each of them do you think still exist in the Americas?

3. Why do you think the Industrial Revolution took place in the areas of the world in which it did? Are all countries in the world now industrialized? How do you know?

4. List 3 or 4 ways in which the major development of Islam was similar to that of Christianity. What do you think are the major differences?

Saw this film again, and whilst the cinematography is worthy of Rembrandt (the great Freddie Francis) the script and acting misrepresents.

Sarah Woodruff is ostensibly Jewish although this is never stated outright. But it is the `Jewish` thing which separates her both from the gentiles and from the Jewish converts. The only link between Woodruff and prostitution is that both single Jewesses and whores were aliens and that Jews were treated as whores.

This is not clarified in the film and indeed it is only in the last reel that we learn she did not have an affair with the French lieutenant and was virginal.

Harold Pinter did not have children with Merchant and married a Catholic. Jeremy Irons also married a Catholic. I believe the screenplay and the acting are undermined that this reality.

The film ostensibly and by using Streep is trying to compare the alienation and persecution of Jewesses then and now. Unfair and untrue. Still lousy.


Has it really improved?????

September the 11th 2001 was a tragic day. It was also a glorious day for anyone looking to cease a great deal of power and control. Regardless of who was responsible it is not debatable that it gave more power and control to the government than any time in prior history. In fact the constitution was blatantly disregarded from that point on.

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests."
- Patrick Henry

We also know that the events of that day did not unfold the way we were told. Dose this mean the people who brought us the omissions and distortion were involved? No, it simply means that it was covered up or concealed for some reason.

Will the truth every come out? “When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.”
Pearl S. Buck

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
Wendell Phillips
