Given that he is the purveyor of every government conspiracy theory -- he even thinks Clinton purposely did the Oklahoma bombing -- isn't it possible that he is actually working for the government, proposing outlandish theories as a way to discredit the more credible conspiracy theories? His might be a classic misinformation operation.

I was just watching the news and they reported that Christmas trees at a Seattle airport had to be taken down because a rabbi complained about them and they wanted to avoid a lawsuit. I dunno, I think that's excessive. What about you?

What is your take on Joseph Darby and why? He is the sergeant that turned the pics over to the U.S. military command about the prisoner abuse in the Abu Ghraib prison? Some called him a trader and said he was a walking dead man, he was walking around with a bull's-eye on his head.

The reason I ask is, Iraq is in civil war, Iraq is overran by zelous suicide bomers, Democracy cannot function with choas and religous fanatics. Anti-Clerical Millitary rulership that is secular would be probadle outcome to the Iraq war. The reality democray works better when people are not straving and killing eachother. Oppression is bad most times, but some the ends justify the means. Remeber leftist like communists did thier evil deeds, like Stalin, Mao.

The morning of September 11th also is very clear in my memory. When my alarm radio went off, the D.J. was saying that a plane had hit the WTC. I turned on the news just in time to see the second tower get hit. I got sick to my stomach. I just kept searching for answers trying to understand what was happening.


Around 10am I had to leave for work, I had the radio on listing to the coverage coming for New York. I remember constantly looking to the sky for planes. I was scared, this is not supposed to happen.This is America, You see things like this happen in the middle east but no here. I was worried about my safety and the safety of my family.That was something I never thought I would have to worry about being an American.


Then just when I thought it was over , A plane hit the Pentagon. The Pentagon??? Are you kidding me? The head of the United States Department of Defense! The strongest military in the world was just slapped in the face and we had no idea who did it.I started to get very mad and my fear turned to anger. I wanted to get back at who ever did this.

In the following days,I started to see all the people who were coming to help in the recovery. I saw all the reports of the fire fighters and police who lost their lives to save others. People we donating time and money to help strangers.I saw the entire country come together and focus on helping the victims of 9/11.The horrible events of September 11th were an emotional roller coaster for us all. I was most overwhelmed by then love the American people showed for each other in the months after the attack. It made me realize that no matter what happens, no matter how horrible if people stick together love can transcend all.

It's like a real time spy novel. Now I start to believe that some of the spy fictions could well be happening for real without the world knowing. How interesting.

I am moderately liberal. I have at times made a comment here about Fox News. I have also been derided by conservatives for watching Fox. 'Why does a Liberal like you watch Fox News?'
Well, I like their 'presentation format'. And I also watch Fox to keep an eye on the 'loonies'. And I also watch and admire Fox for their skill in 'manipulation'. They 'invent' news, and to give it 'substance', they build a 'story' around it. The 'Hilary versus Obama battle' comes to mind. These guys are good.
Who else has noticed this?

I am still really freaked out... I can't remember the last time I've been this shocked. The movie im talking about is here http://www.911weknow.com .... the things that freak me out is how tower 7 fell w/o being hit by a plane OR having a fire, and it looks 100% like a controlled demolition... the fact that the bomb sniffing dogs disappeared 5 days b4 9/11... the fact that all of the power was turned off for 3 whole days for "internet upgrades" to the building & so all of the security cameras were off and people with cables (for detonation - not internet) were running all over... the shape of the standing support beams literally cut at 45 degrees, just how you'd put a charge in... and what i STILL don't understand though is why this benefits bush?? even IF it was done internally, all that got him was a screwed up war in Iraq and a freaked out society.

I realise that this isn't the ideal site for a serious and sensible question, but I'm going to take the risk of asking one anyway. I just wondered if anyone has personal stories of finding a missing friend/relative safe and sound, years after their initial disappearance.

The reason I ask is because I lost a very close friend... it's been 10 years. It's been almost 11 years since Mel disappeared. We didn't live far from one another, I should have been with her the night she went missing, but was ill so I couldn't go. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever stop kicking myself for not having been there to stop whatever it was that happened.

I don't think we're going to find Mel now, it's been too long, but it's still very difficult to stop hoping. I never found out what happened but I'm determined to work it out somehow, for the sake of her poor family if nothing else.

Here's the background. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2842645.stm

Since America's Jewish people seem to care more about Israel than the USA, why can't the Jewish people move back to their homeland?

Please believe me I'm not a bigot. In the past I had many jewish people tell me that they would rather flee to another country than fight for America. Why are the jewish people living here? Can someone explain this to me?

I have just watched the news on ITV and another girl has been found murdered in Ipswich. It looks like we have a RIPPER on the loose again killing young girls who it seems work as Prostitutes. Everyday we read of murders and peadophiles plying their evil deeds and it doesn't even make the front pages of the Newspapers any more.
Until these barbaric animals are treated the same as their victims they will carry on knowing full well that after a few years behind bars they will be free and sometimes too often to repeat the crime again. Hanging is the only solution an eye for eye.
