Families of 9/11 victims say "no" to revenge
Mr. Glick and people like him keep my hopes alive.
In regards to nuclear retaliation:

Posted by James on from Puerto Rico 08/01 at 10:47 AMThanks, James. I’d seen that passage about nuking Iran and this line really stands out: “As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States.”
If that’s true, the planners must have an extraordinary trust that the American public will not balk at an unprovoked nuclear attack. Only decades of relentless indoctrination could spawn such trust.

“balk” they might. We “balked” at John Bolton. We’re “balking” at the occupation of Iraq. Maybe the planners are counting on us to balk. Balking gives the American public under the illusion that it is free. We’re free to balk. What would happen if we (the “we” with a capital “w") did a bit more than balk? Imagine…Posted by Keir on from New York, momentarily 08/01 at 01:18 PMYes, not the best choice of words on my part. “Balking” implies they might go as far as voting for Hillary in 2008. Perhaps the better word is “revolt.”
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 08/01 at 01:20 PMWow, Mickey, I think you’ve really hit it on the head with your last comment: “...the planners must have an extraordinary trust that the American public will not balk...”
I think we’ve been seeing such trust, since the Neocons had the balls to publish the planning papers of the Project for the New American Century, right out on the web. They even opine about what a Godsend another “Pearl Harbor like” event would be for their efforts. Then, almost immediately, we watch, dumfounded, as the Supreme Court simply halts a national election process and appoints BoyGeorge President.
Shortly thereafter, just coincidentally, another 9-11 event DOES take place. A small bunch of goof-balls with box cutters completely out-think, outmaneuver and overwhelm the most technically advanced, best organized, most paranoid military organization ever seen on the earth, on their own turf. (In the very heart of their own turf) Routine and legally-mandated defensive proceedures and functions simply, suddenly, and with no known similar precedents, temporarily break down. Even the laws of physics are tested and found wanting: In the long history of [fire/explosion] meets [steel structure], a steel structure has never once collapsed. Never. On 9-11, three such structures collapsed. All of these collapses, again, just coincidentally, happen to be absurdly neat and tidy. All 3 buildings fall directly into their own “foot-prints,” - exactly like ( and ONLY like ) what happens to buildings when they are deliberately and scientifically demolished. Miraculously, one of the hijacker’s passports was soon found, essentially undamaged, atop one of the piles of rubble. Afterwards, the government and their “Iron Curtain Media,” tell us what happened and vigorously oppose any and all independant investigation into the matter. The steel in these three buildings was hauled off with incredible speed to New Jersey, in trucks which were equiped with GPS real-time tracking devices, to monitor the speed and movements of those huge trucks as they went. One trucker who paused somewhere to get lunch, was fired. The steel was sent quickly off to China and other far-off regions.Most people didn’t bat an eye.
In the following 4 years, the government goes into debt to the tune of Eight TRILLION Dollars. A significant portion of this vast sum was not “spent,” at all. Even the US government can’t spend that much in so short a time. A big chunk was stolen, and tossed into various corporate treasure chests, to help keep the Elites extra toasty and comfy during those long, cold winters ahead. Eight Trillion gone. Huh!?We have a truly illegal war in Iraq ( illegal under US and International Law ), another in Afghanistan, and we’re planning to take over the entire world, and we’re going to militarize / nuclearize space to do it - and there’s simply another “Huh?” from the population.
It makes sense that the planners would be confident that the American Population will not balk. Somehow, we have to prove them wrong…
Posted by joe on from Oregon 08/01 at 02:08 PMI’m sorry, Joe...did you say something? I was busy watching a TV special about Jude Law’s nanny?
Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 08/01 at 02:13 PMJude Law’s nanny? But you’re missing CNN’s “Day 63” coverage of the missing woman in Aruba. (all offense aimed at CNN not the victim or her family)
Posted by James on from Puerto Rico 08/01 at 02:28 PMGood one, Joe. Kilgore Trout himself couldn’t come up with a better one.
Who’s Jude Law?

Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 08/01 at 04:42 PM
That was a joke. I’m every bit the shitty Hollywood movie junkie y’all are. Knowing exactly who Jude Law is keeps me from balking too hard.

Posted by Mickey Z. on from Astoria 08/01 at 07:57 PMNot really impressive is it?: http://www.judelaw.com
I just get the feeling of not missing anything by not having seen these films. Or am I missing something?
Posted by Lee Hall on from 08/01 at 11:40 PMah, 9/11 and the bombing of afghanistan people were asking ‘why do they hate us.’ the official line was ‘they hate our freedom.’ people bought this who wants to see their illusions shattered. there is no mention of u.s. policies in the middle east-the sanctions on iraq which killed 6000 children a month for 13 years (they are still starving and dying from preventable diseases, our weapons sales to israel used to kill and maim palestinans destroy their homes and steal their land, our buddy buddy relationship with the sauds and other tyrants throughout the region the military bases around the globe. around the world and throughout history uncle sam has been overthrowing democratically elected governments and financing dictatorships. all uncle sam asks is that the puppet keep their lips firmly on his ass if they move an inch then it’s lights out. it’s never about imperialism and theft of resources when the u.s. bombs a country, it is only because the united states luuuves freedom and wants to give it to the rest of the world. even when they decided to tell everyone that they were going to bomb afghanistan (this was planned before 9/11)http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1550366.stm the theme in the press was ‘we will get our revenge and free these people at the same time.’ ‘look at these poor oppressed women shrouded in burqas and these starving children. someone thought (minister of propaganda?) ‘we can bomb them and feed them at the same time, let’s drop food packets that resemble uxos.’ no one mentioned or mentions that u.s. policies in afghanistan were responsible for the taleban and that bin laden was once our guy. if it is mentioned the response is ‘yeah, that was a long time ago they attacked us we must get our revenge so SHUT UP! War, it’s flashing neon green lights then everyone is free no more burqas! then you can ride the statue’s head.
Were you going for a men with bad skin theme? Bush, Blinton, and O’Reilly their skin looks horrible!Posted by tm on from a place without a postcard 08/02 at 08:30 PMThanks, TM...and someone get the moisturizer.
