Current Events - August 2006

A posted by 006 to to my Q : "Rebuilding there is insane (as defined by einstein). Another hurricane will come along eventually & wipe it out again. They were predicting it for decades before it actually happened. Think it won't happen again? No matter how much they build up the levees, a direct hit by a category five hurricane will swamp New Orleans. That's what happens when you live below the water line.

The government should be providing incentives to get people out of there, instead of funding to get them to move back into harm's way."

The Q I asked was this: "Is it altruism if the US gov't helps victims of Katrina back on their feet by restoring the needed public infrastructure of the towns,cities ,counties, & parishes of LA, MS & AL? The people whose lives were impacted by Katrina & Rita & who were forced to leave their homes & businesses, want to go home but many can't until the gov't commits to & begins the effort to restore in earnest the public services necessary..."

OK, when I am listening some of my mates while they are talking about where-to-go-this-saturday and where-to-find-some-chicks, I feel proudly distanced. As an intellectual, I don't want to be part of their petty issues, rumour, and go-out-lately-and-drink style of life.
But still, when I am listening to them, I feel kind of anxious, like I 'm afraid that there is nobody like me, like I need support from real-life character.
For instance, if same thing happened when I was with my close friend from childhood, (which is similiar to me), I would felt differently. Proud of who I am, pround of my lifestyles and full of self-esteem.
Why is that that in presence in some of my childhood-close-friends I feel proud and full of myself. When they aren't here, I am somehow lost.
*Note 1: I am 15. Note 2: iS it ok? Note 3: Thanks in advance

Well John Mark Karr got released from Jail...and he is not the person who murdered JonBenet. He was sentenced as Innocent sometime later. i asked my mom why he was...he was so obsessed with her murder, he studied it, I think like as an investagator. Thats what I think when i hear studied her murder. he told ppl he did it, and he didn't...thats how obsessed he was with it.
So now its who had killed her now. Thats still a big mystery.
My mom said the ramson note has nice hand writing, and my parents still think it was her mom that killed her.
My mom just gave me a big clue last night...ususally guys don't have nice hand writing, and write like a girl. Who else would have nice hand writing in that house besides the mom?
Who found her dead down stairs the night of her murder right away? her dad....he must have herd something. JonBenet's mom got mad at her cuz she would pee the bed. What little kid doesn't?
Thats gives u an idea who could have killed her. Tell me what u think on this.

We Must Expose that 9/11 was an Israeli Act and Bush was fully aware of it. In Feb 1993 Israeli agent Josie Haddas carried out the bomb blast in WTC killing five innocent Americans. Her apartment with bomb drawings and material was shown on CNN Breaking news. But as soon as CNN realized that she was Mossad agent, no mention of her any more. On the other hand entire Islam and all Muslims were held hostage by powerful Zionist media.
9/11 was a Zionist- Neo Con Production. The main objecgtive was to create an excuse to attack Afghanistan in order to restore world's 60% heroin supply which was completely stopped by Taliban under Islamic ruling which prohibits all narcotics including alcohol and heroin. The Zionist drug mafia was loosing trillions of dollars. Like WMDs an excuse was created. Like Charlie Sheen who said that anyone who believes that WTC fell due to plane hit must have mental examiantion, let us spread the rays of sun to remove the darkness of ignorance. Islam is PEACE!

I remember reading so-called eye-witness accounts of individuals who claim that there were people in the superdome raping and murdering women and children after Hurricane Katrina. One man was reported to have seen a mob of people beat a man tor raping and slashing the throat of a 13-year old girl who went to use the bathroom. I heard similar stories on an episode of Oprah and I heard Ray Nagin say this. I also saw people on TV saying this. Then after the fact, it was reported that these claims were not true or could not be confirmed. What REALLY happened? Did these things actually occur and if not, why would someone spread such awful lies? If these reports were not true, how could the media report them without making sure that these claims were true? And if these claims are indeed true, what is being done about it.

I know he didn't do it, it was just a twisted fantasy of his, but they let this guy back into society? Knowing that he fantasizes about little girls? To give him the opportunity to act out on his fantasizes?

With the land grab that happened in zimbabwe its going to happen in south africa, its only a matter of time. The whites is SA should get out while they can. With an aids denier as a president and 20% of his own people dying of it and a murder and rape epidemic, their is no hope for this country.

The Israeli army is killing thousands of innocent Palestinians by the droves. The Israeli army is also making life miserable for the Palestinians and leaving them destitute.

Ariel Sharon claims self-defense from the Palestinians, and the Bush administration agrees. Something fishy is going on the around here, and I smell a rat in the White House, and in the United Nations. Who’s the rat, and who has the right to be frightened and terrorized? Where my terrorists at?

Who really knows why Palestinians are striking back or attacking the Israeli (Jewish) population at all?

Why is it we get 10,000 hurricanes and survive just fine. We have some crime, some fraud etc associated with storms but we do not have the whiny crying bs that came with Katrina. It wasnt the storms fault, it was the residents fault so to hell with them. As far as I can tell, they were sponges off the system anyway so do you really care? Come on now people, how many really give a rats *** about them people and if you claim you do...then why are you not there volunteering? Uhh maybe, youre afraid youll get robbed like the rest of EMS had to endure. So why is it Florida residents are so prepared and the welfare state of Louisiana couldnt prepare or clean up after ONE?

Over the past weekend, there was an illegal immigration protest in Maywood California (near Los Angeles) where 500+ protesters marched in the streets, to the point they had to block city traffic and shut streets down. They held up signs that read stuff like "THIS IS OUR CONTINENT, NOT YOURS" while waving mexican flags...they even stormed thru and took down a US flag from the post office flag pole and hoisted up a mexican flag....

the interesting part about this all is that it was not covered by news medias...luckily SaveOurState.org took pictures to post, you can see them here: http://www.saveourstate.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15542&hl=

..notice in the pics how ABC 7 News vans were there, yet if you search their site, there was never any news story on this event.

Do you think this is newsworthy? Yes or No?
If you answer NO, then would your answer change if the protesters were Iranian or Syrian and raised those country flags after taking down US flag??

John Mark Karr was released from custody today because his DNA did not match the DNA they had on JonBenet so it looks like he made up the whole story. What do you think should be done to someone for doing what he did or do you think he still had something to do with the murder regardless of the DNA?

How could two cases be bungled more? And not just the police, but the DA's office too? Which team do you think had a better chance to solve their case had it not been for their own shortcomings?

I know lots of people who privately admit they don't want their daughters to date or marry a black, but, because fear of being politically incorrect they would never say this in public???
