The corporate mafia has been extracting all elements of life, elements of life that make life worth living. In effect, it has turned citizens into little more than animals and serfs. The banking/corporate mafia has used propaganda to completely blind people to their condition. Those who see or sense what is going on, are bribed to maintain themselves in the system, or tranquillized with various "medications", or if this doesn't work are suicided/murdered outright.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132252460964519368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-41395791383878613102011-05-01T03:14:43.621-04:002011-05-01T03:14:43.621-04:00.

It agrees with the views I've had for a long time.<br /><br />Basically, I have viewed US foreign policy from Dulles' "Domino Theory" through the CIA faulty analysis on the Soviet Union during the cold war and even to today's screwed up ME policy as one continuous stream of FUBAR.<br /><br />I was surprised to hear that prior to Casey taking over, the CIA was actually providing good intelligence on what was going on in the Soviet Union. This was a period when I was doing a lot of partying and not paying much attention to what the CIA was up to so I guess I missed it.<br /><br />Today, IMO, those who can’t see what is going on in this country suffer from cognizant dissonance. Rather than use reason they prefer rationalization. “Sure, the government is taking some of my freedoms, but heck, we are in a war on terror.” Or, “If you haven’t done anything wrong why not let the government look at your e-mail records without a warrant.”<br /><br />Suckers.<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-41866080145618513802011-04-30T21:20:03.099-04:002011-04-30T21:20:03.099-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-28083665640455230482011-04-30T21:04:32.490-04:002011-04-30T21:04:32.490-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-27270230949308369082011-04-30T20:42:25.488-04:002011-04-30T20:42:25.488-04:00It's a good post, Whit.

Since the group's founding in 1928, successive Egyptian administrations have outlawed the group and arrested its members.<br />"This party will be independent from the Brotherhood, but will coordinate with it," Mahmoud Hussein, the secretary general of the Brotherhood, told a news conference in Cairo.<br /><br /><br />Read more: http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/04/30/2194573/muslim-brotherhood-will-run-for.html#ixzz1L3C0OQ95Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85327030949280907322011-04-30T19:02:55.574-04:002011-04-30T19:02:55.574-04:00Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's son Saif al Ar...<b><br />Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's son Saif al Arab Gadhafi was killed in a NATO airstrike, a government spokesman says. </b><br /><br />What a brilliant move this was.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.com
