“The anti-drugs and anti-terrorist actvities of the United States and its allies exist in symbiosis. Both are failing because both are fake. If the US is prepared to abduct individuals like Matta Ballesteros, Alvarez Machain and Francisco Toscanoni, they could just as easily snatch the drugs cartel leaders who control the Colombian paramilitaries. They do not because those individuals are key allies who deploy cut-price, twice-removed terror against armed opposition to the United States main ally in the Andes, the Colombian government.

As a group the Colombian drugs cartels and their paramilitary cohorts channel much-prized foreign exchange through offshore banking centers into US and European capital markets. That is one reason why President Uribe, with US backing, is currently trying to push through legislation to legalize the paramilitaries. Another reason is that legalizing the paramilitaries will make it easier for the US and the corrupt Venezuelan opposition to mobilise them against democratically elected President Hugo Chavez.
rah, rah, rah, republicans for anti-democracy......”

“You're really Noam Chomsky aren't you?

You'd probably like THE TERRORISM INDUSTRY”

“Too bad the Iraq fiasco and the deficit fiasco are crowding out so many of the other fiascoes.”

“Nah, not anti-American, just anti-greed. you know- all that personal accountability and personal morals just gets in the way of the all mighty personal profit. That is what I truly am against-greed.
Just thinking today about how all the oil pipelines in Alaska are going to survive this summer. The pretend it isn't happening global warming is coming on too quick for the Bush administration this year. While he tried to get ANWR and more oil drilling pushed through, the existing oil pipelines are sinking into the muck and leaking like a sieve. How are the oil companies going to fix that? By installing more oil pipelines and abandoning the leaking ones? Or just push less oil through at less pressure? (and leaking just the same) (Bet you won't see that story repeating itself every 5 minutes on the CNN marquee news line- while the gay marriage fiasco in Arizona was repeating every third story to get the ire of the religious right fired up this week.”

“Oh don’t get me wrong – I never said speaking your mind was anything other than American or that I necessarily thought you were wrong.

Along the same lines, you’ve got to wonder why Ashcroft is so keen on muzzling Sibel Edmonds for saying that the FBI had advanced knowledge of 9-11 that was suppressed because of money interests in terrorism, drugs, money laundering and politics.”

“oh, i wasn't objecting to the Noam chompsky comparison- I rather find it flattering actually. I was sharing a facet of my personal belief system- I haven't read Naom Chompsky lately, thanks for the link. "The norm is obedience, adoption of uncritical attitudes, and easy path of self-deception" I guess that's why I am outraged by most of the stuff that I hear about in the local and national news. I think both of you, violin and tilt are about the same- which is why we agree on the outrages of the day- any why the challenged people(give such an emotional response to it- easy path of self-deception..................But it also gives me hope, if they are offended by it- it means they unconciously see it in themselves. Especially if they deny it.”

“I believe the next election will be exceptionally important for the future of this country. It isn't that Kerry is some sort of gift from above; there are many interests he cannot touch even if he wanted to, but the alternative is absolutely deplorable and would set the country back years.”

“Which is why i intentionally use some inflammatory wording- to get the attention, to question the source, and to try to take the blinders off the propaganda aimed at the young white male american voters. With the testosterone levels so high, it's difficult to get through sometimes. With the white american females, I just don't understand republican females. I guess that has more to do with religious doctrine obedience and adoption of uncritical attitudes. I'm the mother, sister,and daughter, of American veterans. And in the Korean, Gulf war, and Gulf war #2 i don't see any democracy being defended. Only terrorism being used as a future restraint on the American people themselves.”
