    thanks to in these times for publishing the carrot that drew the rabbit out. i have learned a lot. i was already convinced by michael ruppert's "crossing the rubicon". i can only imagine that itt meant to open the door with terry's wincingly servile blurb. the footnotes obliterate the article.

    so much blather about torque and shit. does it really matter? no one will ever be tried for this. there is no crime in this terror regime, no one accountable, murder is acceptable. why would we think our government would not murder us? are we special in history? has america stopped short of mass murder before? forget 911. many times that number have been murdered by our state terrorism. an equivalent number are being slaughtered every three days in iraq. stop quibling over eroneous detail. you are playing the game of divide and conquer. it will never satisfy if you desire …

    thanks to kevin ryan. it's clear that the murderers have ranks of liars and that the fulcrum of the assault on humanity they deem the war on terror is 9-11. it is exceedingly clear we do not have representative government.

    i may have missed something but this is the 1st i've heard mention of ruppert's book. it is absolutely clear and unrefuted in crossing the rubicon that cheney and co. was and is the enemy. if we cannot accept this we deserve everything that we have coming. if we cannot accept the enemy is u.s. we will continue to be the victims of our own government. we know they are illegitimate. we know they have raped our constitution. why? what the fuck are we thinking?

    we might all agree we have nothing to do with what is going on. nothing said on this page will influence anything. it serves only as a pathetic whimper under the radar of power. those who know the government is the true enemy can shut it down. but not by arguing ad infinitum about details. everyone who knows the truth should stop paying taxes. while we argue, they are killing. there is no apparatus of justice any longer. there is no representative government. wake the fuck up.

    when you put goebels and bush together it is sadly striking how stupid we have become. goebels was smart and eloquent: bush is a vacant sign. what has happened to us. we kill for the likes of evolutionary nulls like bush. we deserve everything that is coming to us. we are really too stupid to be alive. if we didn't have the elite terrorists killing to protect our wretched freedom, we would already be dead, but we are as good as dead already.

    etranger, this business of indoctrination is so very metastisized that the regime pretty much runs itself. memes like "soft on terror" are hardly uttered before they are epidemic, and the very second automaton that dribbles the word has not even processed what if anything it means. meanwhile the best of us wait for this regime to pass and are satisfied it will, but they just change clothes and bush and clinton and bin laden make a sandwich and smoke some opium. i wonder if enough people will ever wake up.
