And you wonder why mainstream media is making such a big deal over racist remarks and not covering Imus' threats of going public on 9/11?

Consider that if the above proposition fails, the Americans will have no body to elect to goverment to do what the electorate want. What does that say for democracy in America in 2007?

Did you know, for instance, that never before in the history of the world has a steel building collapsed due to fire? Yet on 9-11, three of them did just that in seven hours – with WTC 7 not even being hit by an airliner.

Furthermore, it takes a temperature of 2,795 degrees to melt construction grade steel, yet the highest temperature jet fuel can reach is 1,517 degrees. Plus, all the jet fuel burned off within two minutes of the towers being struck, while two independent studies proved that the fires within each tower never rose above 500-600 degrees. In fact, FEMA revealed in their final report that, “The heat produced by burning jet fuel does not by itself appear to have been sufficient to initiate the structural collapse.”

Also, the WTC towers were designed to withstand the impact from a Boeing 707 (similar to a Boeing 767), and each floor was designed to hold 2,600,000 pounds beyond its own weight. Likewise, the steel used in these structures was rated to hold five-times its normal load. MIT professor Thomas Eager admitted as much when declaring, “The impact of the airplanes would have been insignificant” in toppling the towers.

Also, how do we explain the pools of molten steel which were found bubbling 70 feet beneath the towers five weeks after 9-11? Incidentally, a temperature of 5,182 degrees is needed to transform steel into a liquefied state. Do you think fires that FEMA admitted “would have burned at, or below, temperatures typical in office fires” could have produced such extremes? Even NYFD audiotapes of firefighters who reached the South tower’s impact point reveal that they “judged the blazes to be manageable” and were easily extinguishable in less than an hour.

Even more interesting is the South Tower. Even though it experienced a less forceful hit than the North Tower and had smaller fires, it fell in only half the time of its counterpart (56 minutes). It takes five-times that long to cook a turkey! Plus, the South Tower’s cap, which initially tipped 23 degrees past vertical, suddenly reversed direction, then dropped vertically, defying Newton’s First Law of Motion.

Most incriminating, though, is the resistance-free speed (a mere 10 seconds) at which the towers collapsed. To put this matter into perspective, if you were standing atop the WTC towers, and at the precise moment when they began to fall you dropped a football over the side, you and the football would have hit the ground at nearly the exact same moment. In other words, 200,000 tons of steel, 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, and all the walls, desks and floors provided no resistance whatsoever. Not only does such a collapse defy Galileo’s Law of Falling Bodies, it is physically impossible unless all resistance was removed via a controlled demolition.
Of course there’s more (seismographic data, the ridiculous pancake & truss-bolt theories, and the complete vaporization of nearly all the concrete into a fine microscopic dust),

If we say we're withdrawing, if might be the case that our enemies would cease and desist waiting for us to leave. That might give us a window during which we could strengthen Iraq's government and security enough to deal with the resurgence of violence when we actually leave. In fact, we might be able to leave a smaller U.S. force there to deal with the resurgence if we could build a stronger Iraq in that time.

There seems to be a lot of generalisations about the yanks on this Q&A. It's seems to be some kind of fasionable racism.

But are we all totally faultless as well? Someone voted Blair in.

"Another cause for large scale debt has been the corruption and embezzlement of money by the elite in developing countries (who were often placed in power by the powerful countries themselves). These moneys are often placed in foreign banks (and used to loan back to the developing countries). Many loans also come with conditions, that include preferential exports etc. In effect then, more money comes out of the developing countries than is given in. This depresses wages even further due to the spiraling circle downwards to ensure that enough exports are produced."

Even global organizations like the World Bank, IMF, WTO, G8, and others are keeping poor countries in debt on purpose. That's why there have been large mass protests around the world

The new world order conspiracy theories are depressing me and they have left me in a state of extreme paranoia and anxiety. I don't think I need psichiatric help, I just htink I need to listen to other points of view, such as websites criticising claims about the new world order.
NOT 9/11!!! I dont' want 9/11 conspiracy debunkers, there's plenty of that on the net. I've set my head straight on that one.
But I can't find a single website debunking New World Order claims.
Can anyone help me? I seriously need it. I want to get back to my normal life. Please!
Where do I find them?
If you think there aren't any because it is indeed the truth, don't reply. I am in a state that is not to kid around.
Pleaase, help me get back to my normal life. I'm really depressed!!!

-Tax cuts handouts for the rich
-attacking programs that enable the poor to do better
-describing the lower class as lazy when they do labor that takes away energy for anything else and too little food to give ambition to accomplish anything.
-wanting to increase taxes to punish the poor as if that would solve anything. This is called the "flat tax"

Are you guys that hateful or that uneducated as to the problems they face?
