Micky, Thanks for that great article regarding the Bonus Army, a subject too few have ever heard mentioned. It’s interesting to ruminate upon the way the “Powers that be” learn lessons from their awful actions: they’re still abusing the vets, as well as those on active duty, while hiding behind the smokescreen of vague phrases like “Support the Troops.” And the front-line perpetrators of the crimes get promoted to bigger and better positions. All they have learned from history is to cover up the crimes (somewhat) better.

Sad, but true, Rev. The elites have learned more from the past than the dissidents.

You sure said it, Joe: a spiritual sacrament. A human sacrifice, if you will. We willingly and proudly offer up our young to the gods of democracy (sic)....or is that the gods of commerce?

Rev.Joe, Mickey, and Joe...the Peace Movement has failed because it has been hypocritical. Shouting, “Support the Troops” gives the message that their mission is supported. If only the anti-war protestors had put out the message of, “Inform the Troops”, we would make some progress. Imagine, if all of those yellow ribbons said Inform instead of Support. Sometimes one word can make or break a movement. Also, I keep saying that George Bush never killed anyone and no one was drafted to go to Iraq. We have to face the fact that some of the soldiers have openly stated that they enjoy killing. Many are over in Iraq killing because that is what they want to do. That link that I gave yesterday says it better than I can. It is easy to criticize George Bush but he could not do anything without the help of the troops and the troops are supported by the so-called peace movement.

It’s interesting to witness how the propaganda machine reaches each of us in a different way.

After checking out that site, Luna, I don’t know if I should be relieved or insulted that I’m not suspected of being a CIA plant.

I actually did check for your name before I posted the link. hehe Maybe its a radar thing. Vyzygoth’s Grassy knoll show didn’t make the cut either. ;)

I think the guy makes some good points. What worries me is that he sets himself in the role of the mouth piece of truth, which is exactly what most of his list makes a point of not doing.

“Inform The Troops”

Brilliant. Haven’t heard it before. Says it all. Rosemarie, may I use this?

That http://www.breakfornews.com/index.htm is interesting but I wouldn’t rule out CIA involvement in that one either - discrediting genuine researchers by including them with some of the more transparent ones is a pretty old trick.

Had another browse of the site, I do like the cut of some of his jib but would prefer he elaborate the individual cases instead of just putting up a blacklist with nothing but links to the sites.

Thanks for straightening that out, Luna. I was just about to do the same.

...and good to meet you, Vyz.
