Harry has seen Oliver Stone's WORLD TRADE CENTER...

Published at:  Jul 18, 2006 2:03:30 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

Watching WORLD TRADE CENTER, I didn’t come away with any metaphors about what’s happening in our world today. It isn’t a subversive film with hidden agendas. There are no digs at that fearless leader that was/is running this country. There really isn’t any anger or hatred in the film, and at no point did I feel anger or hatred. In fact, there’s no mention of Al Qaeda, no mention of Islamic Fundamentalists. No blame assigned, none of that.



WORLD TRADE CENTER is about one of the downright scariest, most terrifying moments in U.S. History. It’s about men that wanted to help, but before they could help one single person, they found themselves beneath tons of rubble, in excruciating agony and torment… with little to no hope of survival. It is also about the utter helplessness of their wives waiting for word, unable to go to the scene, to aid in the search.



I should warn you, this is an intensely emotional film. There are very few moments of levity. At its heart – it’s a story of wading through despair and putting your faith in people you can’t see or know are coming. About staying awake through pain, of facing and resolving that you’re going to die, to find yourself alive… again. Of how Viggo Mortensen quotes from G.I. JANE are the most useful phrases in the world, when buried beneath tons of rubble.



I really didn’t want to see this film. I really had no hope for the movie. The trailers looked like a bad time. Let’s face it, we know the story. This event, that day, that place… it fucked up the whole world. It’s the foundation for why everything is so goddamn fucked up. I’m sick and fucking tired of 9/11 being invoked, because the rotten sons-a-bitches that put it on shields to hide behind and justify horrors after horrors… make me want to puke. The baggage of this series of events… it’s more than any movie can really hold.



Like many of you, I was awake and watching the gut-wrenching thing live. I sat there… in horror as the towers fell. Tears rolling down my face as two buildings that I never liked fell, because just looking at it, you knew… tens of thousands were dying. I’d seen Las Vegas casinos implode, but not with the idea that anyone was inside. This. This was a horrible memory, and honestly – I didn’t want to relive it at GROUND ZERO.



All of that said, there’s something amazing that happens watching this film. Well, especially watching this film clutched to someone you love. I highly recommend, if you see this film. See it with someone you can hold on to. Then pray to God you never have to go through anything like this with them in reality.



This isn’t the worst thing you’d ever have to face. There’s grimmer subjects. SOPHIE’S CHOICE comes to mind. The Holocaust. Cancer. AIDS. Watching your loved one die painfully. Ultimately, for the characters in this film… while the events were traumatically indescribable… they survived. 2, 749 died, this is the story about 2 of 20 that survived.



So, is that reaffirming? Is the film cathartic?



Yes. It felt good to leave that theater, to look into the face of the person I loved. Hugging her felt so good after this film. It’s hard to describe.



When the world ends in this film… When the first tower comes down – it’s… I can not describe the fury of it. The madness. Yet in that, “SKY IS FALLING” blink – the man, John McLoughlin, that Nicolas Cage is playing. He directed his men to run into the Elevator shaft area. He knew to do that. In that… bit of madness, he thought to direct his fellow men into the one place where there was a possibility of survival. The first collapsing of the building… was shocking. A fury. A maelstrom.



We stay with Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena and Jay Hernandez. There’s survival. Then the second tower fell. Mind you, they’ve NO IDEA what is happening. To them – this was the concourse collapsing. It was impossible for their minds to grasp what they were actually surviving. It is just… well… the end of the world.



The second tower falling experience just produced an eruption of tears and horror. It. It just, you can’t imagine. Stone doesn’t spare us the horror. I can’t imagine McLoughlin and Jimeno advising on this film. Of sitting down with Oliver Stone and going back in their minds to the moment and describing for him the nightmare… no, the reality that they experienced. This is as close as once can imagine the experience of SURVIVING being buried alive beneath the World Trade Center could be.



It’s a horror that no amount of reading CASK OF AMONTILLADO or PREMATURE BURIAL could ever bring you.



Why see the film? I know I’m not describing a good time here.



Well, through it all… there’s the hope that some fucking crazy ass marine… motivated by God and his deep spiritual sense of duty… will travel hundreds of miles to stand 20 feet above you, look through the rubble and hear you. The moment of discovery. I really can’t… I don’t… As I’m revisiting the moment in my mind here, tears are coming to my eyes – cuz it’s a moment of such release in the film. When you hear what that crazy looking marine apparently said to these two through the rubble… it feels so unbelievably pat, that it is joyous. So fucking amazing. It’s like the fucking Death Star exploded, like the cavalry arrived, like inevitable death could be cheated. That the possibility of survival wasn’t some clingy hope, but a reality.



It’s amazing. Just amazing. Easily one of the most joyous moments I’ve had in a film came when that Marine said what he said, and the look on Michael Pena’s Jimeno’s face. It’s just euphoric beyond anything you could imagine.



This isn’t an easy film for an audience to get through, but would you want it to be? In a world where helplessness and hopelessness continues to grab a hold of us as the whole world seems to be going mad, a film about hope, prayers answered and faith in your fellow man… that’s really something special, you should remember it. You should experience it.

    The Difference between this and Sophies Choice

    by modlight

    is that I wasn't around 60 years ago to experience the holocaust, unlike everyone alive now who could go see this movie. I remember 9-11 just fine, and I'm sure that most americans do. I dont get the fascination with reliving it. I lived in Philly at the time, but grew up in DC. My brother went to school three blocks from the Capitol and I had numerous friends in NYC. IT was a terrible day and all these middle American country listening red staters who want to "feel" a part of what happened can go screw. I don't doubt that this and the Greengrass movies are excelent films, but what is the drive people have to relive this.. So we "Never Forget"? Screw that how short are people's attention spans that they have forgotten that day. I still get pissed everytime I see footage from that, and think about how worried I was for myself and people I knew. I've got more to say....

    by modlight

    On 9/11 I was buying supplies for a big move to Hollywood. A year later on the Anniversary I was working on a TV show and one of the producers, a 60 something year old man, was complaining about the coverage on the news. He said whats the big deal? and that is the attitude of many people I know in LA about that day. My ex worked in a nice clothing store and said that the coworkers had told her that on 9/11 as the day went on people were coming in to shop. Un frickin believe able. So when people said that the towers coming down were "Like something out of a movie" thats all Hollywood heard.

    lets just say i don't care about the too soon...etc argument or the political agenda or the fact oliver stone is a hack. This movie sucks. Yes it doesn't "pick sides" but it is absolutely no fun and extremely depressing. I didn't expect to be entertained on a normal summer movie level but I had the complete opposite reaction of harry. I was glad those dudes survived but I didn't hug and cry and shit I just walked out. I am going to tell people to not see this movie. There is no need for it. Watch National Geographic or various other real documentaries about this subject you won't get much from Oliver Stone's POV.

    by jols316195

    This is a film that I don't think people will appreciate because in their own minds it is too soon. It isn't too soon for me. Especially since this is an apolitical film without an agenda of putting the blame on anyone. Everyone on this site bitches about lack of emotion and great stroytelling in a lot of films these days. Here is a movie, along with United 93, that looks to have those things. A movie that may make you cry or be inspired. With the exception of Alexander and The Doors I am a huge fan of Oliver Stone. I think this movie will be a tribute to the victims of 9/11. No conspiracy theories. No hackneyed dream sequences or tacked on scenes. Just some emotional and what we can sssume will be some heartbreaking filmmaking. I will see this movie first or second weekend because I think this will be one of the best films of the year, too soon or not.

    Maybe too soon... but also timely...

    by roguewriter

    ... considering how many people in my part of the country (southern U.S.) appear to have completely forgotten what 9/11 means (except of course during pious Sunday prayer and whenever the president invokes the date to set us off on another God-blessed misadventure in the Middle East). I work on a military installation, which underwent a full evacuation as the morning unfolded. Spent the next two days at home with my pregnant wife, trying to comprehend the enormity of the events in D.C., NYC and Pennsylvania. Bravo to Oliver Stone for trying to help remind us of the gravity and terror of that day. To forget? To put it behind us? That would be the real shame. Human beings aren't made to live in perpetual terror... but now and then, a wake-up call is a good thing. Here's one: more Americans have now been killed in the Iraq conflict than died on 9/11. And we honor their memory almost as foolishly as most of us still honor the memories of those lost on 9/11 -- by sending more of America's young people into the throat of the abbatoir. God help us...

    LACK OF EMOTION??? Jols, serioiusly

    by modlight

    In this day and age this subject matter is the emotional equivelant of shooting a baby in the face (DAMN YOU HILLS HAVE EYES FOR NOT CARRYING THROUGH!!!) its gonna get a response no matter what. Not because its expertly crafted (which it may be, I haven't seen it) but because Uwe Boll could tell a story about 9-11 and people would feel emotions just because of their own experiences.

    This 9/11 boat has sailed. How about some timely subjects like tsunamis or North Korean missiles fizzling out in the Sea of Japan or bombs exploding at Lebanese airports. Seriously, the whole "we're-doing-it-for-posterity" mode of thinking on behalf of the studios will quickly fade away if this movie fails to clear a nice profit. But I don't want to sound hypocritical - it's the job of studios to make money, and I don't mean that in a cynical way. We're American and we're capitalists. And, of course, we have the right to make statements like "too soon" and "teh suk."

    Why does the very existence of this film...

    by childe roland

    ...remind me of a line from Walk the Line? You know, the one that comes after the warden at Folsom cautions Johnny against singing anything that might remind the men they are in prison? If anyone who lived through 9-11 and had loved ones or even business associates there has actually forgotten anything about that day, the odds are good that it never really hit home for them in the first place and no Hollywood production is going to help them develop an understanding of or appreciation for it. Wake me when Stone gets around to his Platoon-esque commentary on the Iraq war. Even if he takes as long to make that as he did to make this one after the first plane hit, the war will probably still be raging and the movie will be more relevant.

    and then notice Cheney knew about an incoming flight! what were the orders? if it was for a shoot down, why weren't the Pentagon, Capitol building and White House evacuated... what if the orders were to let the incoming aircraft hit? just one of the many questions of 9/11.

    I saw United 93 and thought it was a great film. I believe that Oliver Stone has kept his politics out of this film. But I just don't trust his ability as a director anymore. Can a director suck for as long as he has and then suddenly regain his old form?

I don't want to see that movie. I saw this movie five years ago on CNN. There is no purpose for this movie other than Hollywood fuckwigs wanted to suck as much money out of this day as possible. "Oh let's get Oliver Stone do make it, he's controversial!" Fuck this movie, all it is is propaganda against the terrorists. And fuck Newt Gingrich for calling the current situation overseas World War 3. SO Stupid.. I prefer it in the words of Stephen Coldbert "the crisis in the Middle-East.

By the way I have kept myself entertained for hours on those out there conspiracy sites, they're quite funny and a little disturbing. But you may want to take note that the common theme seems to be that its not just the Bush family operating independently - they are working with *gasp* the Clintons to form their New World Order.

    Conspiracy Theory (not the Mel Gibson movie)

    by lando griffin

    any 9/11 conspiracy and subsequent coverup depends on such a grand lack in faith in humanity that it is laughable. Such a scheme would require hundreds to thousands of the most evil, deceitful, conscienceless people who are believing that their plan is in the best interest of not only our country but the world (of course they are all republicans and conservatives drafted for their cause on or after 1/21/06) to pull off. I have a hard time believing that not one person involved in this grand scheme would not have a conscience and would not be a whistleblower, especially in a country who would praise and make a hero out of such a person. Of course you will tell me that these people are bought and paid for and dissenters have been "silenced". Of course the conspiracy relys on those involved in the coverup at the DoD, DoJ, AG, FBI, CIA and Pentagon all to be card carrying republicans right? Because only republicans are eeevil enough to devise such a plot.

    There's nothing logical...

    by childe roland

    ...about faith in human nature. Unless, of course, you have faith that the majority of humans are going to do whatever they feel is necessary to further the chances of their own suvival and comfort over others. History has demonstrated this amply in every "civilized" corner of the world. In that light, the concept that someone within the U.S. governmental power structure might have known about what was coming down on 9-11 and might have calculated that, net-net, it was a potentially profitable situation for him or someone close to him, doesn't seem all that far fetched. The undisputable truth remains that either our government was inept in preventing these attacks or was complicit (by action or deliberate inaction) in them. I still don't like any of those choices and I still don't have enough evidence to completely rule any of them out...six years later. That's distressing, but not surprising. Human nature is also to try and avoid culpability, be it through the covering up of one's mistakes or misdeeds. I think Yackbacker's attitude is exactly why nothing will ever happen to correct the many inherent flaws in our system (he pointed a fair number of them out). Most people think it's not something they can change and the people in power count on most people thinking that. Again...faith in human nature.

    Only 9/11 Truth Can End These Immoral Wars

    by pockybot

    So every Bush hater on here thinks Bush lied about Iraqw, but NOT about 9/11? So sad to see otherwise intelligent film fans completely buy into every word of the neocon version of 9/11, especially when HALF the 9/11 families believe there is some sort of US complicity. Anyone watch CSI? Why wasnt any "CSI" work done for 9/11, starting on day one? Because they knew instantly it was "Osama and 19 nutjobs with boxcutters?" In a murder case, is simply the hitman responsible for a killing, OR do we TRACE the funding and who ALL was involved? Because 28 redacted pages of the initial inquiry FOUND that Pakistani ISI had funded the hijackers with covert US money, and when the FULL truth of 9/11 comes out...even the skeptics and those claling us "tinfoil idiots" will be left in shock. Only 9/11 truth can stop these illegal wars of aggression and American hegemony.

People say "something like this could never be kept secret!" Well, why would it need to involve a lot of people? Someone to send funding to Pakistani ISI, who controls al Qaeda. Someone to make sure the hijackers got their special Saudi INS visas, someone to order the FBI off the trail of the hijackers, etc. Also do YOU KNOW how many covert ops went unreported? US involvement in East Timor genocide, US massacre of thousands in Panama in 1989, Manhattan PRoject, etc. Not one person peeped for over a decade, and it took tenacious Woodward and Bernstein like journalists to dig up the truth. There has been already so many government whsitleblowers from the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, former high level defense planners, even former White House ofifcials from Reagan and Bush who HAVE come forward and charged official US complicity. Google Operation Northwoods to see the prescendent, and research other well known false flag ops like Tonkin, USS Liberty, etc.

Until your theories can advance past that it will be continually laughed at. Why hasn't the media, in all its rush to demonize the current administration, leeched onto the scoop of the millenia?

Lets trivialize it! Get yourself some popcorn and be joyous! Art comes before real life. Especially when it's Oliver Fucking Stone. Because movies come before everything according to these socalled movie critics. Real life is a movie as far as they're concerned.

    Eyes Wide Open

    by seattlebuff

    Harry, i typically respect your reviews as they come from someone that genuinely loves movies. but on this one...you repeat the bizarre practice (as so many critics have done on this subject with UNITED 93) of treating your readers like children. you feel a need to "warn us" of its intense emotional nature. and you say that you "didn't want to see" the film. what's THAT all about? WWT and U93 deal with the most crucial events of our time--and they are directed by fine filmmakers. why on earth wouldn't i want to see them? you don't "warn" anyone about all the horrendously vile and gruesome slash and blood flicks that assault us constantly. to say we can't handle the subject matter reminds me of the government saying we can't handle pictures of the Iraq war nor the images of coffins returning home. i think that is a big problem with what's going on right now...we don't look. we don't REALLY pay attention to what's going on. i prefer to keep my eyes open and engage the subject at hand. and i applaud greenway and stone for opening our eyes.

    But once an already outspoken politician speaks out against his government's actions, runs for re-election and dies right before that election in a plane crash, and everyone in government looks the other way, my gut tells me something's wrong -- and I trust my intuition more than what I'm told to believe by anyone else. It's saved my life multiple times.

    >>ITs friggin Hollywood and its disgusting...
    by modlight July 18th, 2006
    02:16:51 PM CST
    On 9/11 I was buying supplies for a big move to Hollywood. A year later on the Anniversary I was working on a TV show and one of the producers, a 60 something year old man, was complaining about the coverage on the news. He said whats the big deal? and that is the attitude of many people I know in LA about that day. My ex worked in a nice clothing store and said that the coworkers had told her that on 9/11 as the day went on people were coming in to shop. Un frickin believe able. So when people said that the towers coming down were "Like something out of a movie" thats all Hollywood heard.<<

    I got the same "doesn't affect me" attitudes on 9/11 by the dumb shits I was working with at the time. Most people's sense of reality ends with their dicks or wallets, it seems. Unless one has actually had a family member or someone close to them die, they cannot grasp what that event means. Most of these posters have no genuine life experience, and therefore, no clue.

    The 9/11 Truth Movement wants these questions answered

    by boast

    We want truthful answers to questions such as:..................

    1. Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?..................
    2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?..................
    3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren?..................
    4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?..................
    5. Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?..................
    6. Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?..................
    7. How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military?..................
    8. How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses, restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?..................
    9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?..................
    10. Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the ringleader of the hijackers?..................
    11. Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the questions posed here?..................
    12. Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice?..................They refuse to answer these questions.

    might not answer every single question you posted, since it was meant to mostly discuss the towers and planes/crash sites, but about the 20 documented warnings; none of them said that airplanes would crash into the twin towers and the pentagon on a specific date, so they can't just shut things down everytime they get a vague threat report (they get those all the time)

    At the end of the day...

    by red ned lynch

    ...it's more comforting to believe in sinister cabals running the world from behind the scenes than it is to believe that no one's running it at all. Keyser Soze or Moriarity are more comforting than the idea that the nice boy down the street wants to break into your house when you're at work or the retired neighbor across the road might be looking at your kids for all the wrong reasons. In The Conqueror Worm Poe described it as the "bidding of vast formless things that shift the scenery to and fro". It's why we have the Illuminati. How much more terrifying is it, really, that a bunch of crazy and not all that smart fundies killed three thousand people at the heart of our financial and government centers because how we live depends on people not wanting to do those kinds of things. And then that we, the mightiest nation in the world, reacted in just the way the leader of these people said we would, by striking out while still blinded with rage at some country that didn't have anything to do with the attack, wasting US lives and treasure and diplomatic goodwill. That we did it not because it was phase whatever of a grand plan that started with the birth of George Bush from a jackal mother and the preserved sperm of Joe Stalin, but because we as a nation were drunk angry and Iraq was stading there, a state that had sponsored terrorism in the past, that had one of the biggest monsters on the world stage as its leader, that had no real friends and UN resolutions already piled high in justification and had oil and possible Kurdish allies besides. Who wouldn't rather believe it was a conspiracy? If it's a conspiracy all you have to do is blow up the death star, record the president monologuing his plan, get the bad guys to follow the tanker filled with sand. If it isn't a conspiracy...then its us.

So how come when Marty gets to the old west. doc is surprised to see him there and marty has to tell him that he gbets killed? doc should already know this. he sent marty to the old west to go save him in the 50s.

    shit man...

    by jibarito

    I've been thinking. I live in Cali now but in 2001, I lived in Newark, NJ about 15 miles away from the towers. I was a sophomore and it was my second day of high school. It was crazy, I was confused, my stepdad worked in the city, cell phones didn't work, crazy shit. I went up to the fourth floor of East Side High and through the window the sky was BLACK with smoke. I was crying, I couldn't get in contact with anyone, crazy rumors were flying everywhere, we thought we were all gonna die, we thought it was the end of the world...I saw the second tower fall with my own eyes.*****fast forward to now. I am in Cali, I'm married and my wife is from here. She was scared that day but she didn't experience it the way I did. When we went to see UNITED 93, I cried and cried, and I felt terrible. I remember pasing the towers on the Jersey Turnpike by the budweiser building and then the next day, there was smoke. Seeing the towers just like I remember made me feel terrible. I was shaking and I never had felt that way in a film. When the film showed the second plane strike, I just gasped and I felt so terrible. Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible. What it did was bring back all those feelings. My wifee was shocked and felt terrible. I thought I had gotten over all that, and I realized I had just forgotten. The film made me remember that day a bit too well. I was glad my wife could somehow relate how I felt but why would I want her to feel how I felt. Shit 9/11 is different for everyone and for me I was a scared kid. The film made me feel like that again. I didn't enjoy it and I can't recommend it but I'm glad I saw it. When the film ended I held my wife and cried through the credits. that night was quiet and very contemplative. It was an experience to feel those fears again as an adult. My wife and I are torn. Its important to remember, but to relive? And when it yeilds a profit? We'll just wait. Shit man, I remember EVERYONE had a little flag on their car...let me put it this way: we all say "Oh my God", right? What needs to happen for us to TRULY mean it? Btw, Amparo and I are desperately waiting for the next BATMAN. Thank God I can go to the Pacific Theatres by the mall and for a few hours forget my problems. John Leguizamo for Joker? Gotta rep my Puerto Ricans...My wife wants Josh Lucas for Two-Face. She likes him a lot in "Poseidon".

    So who caused 911?

    by ragebytw

    Cause the official stance of the white house is that they have no evidence that It was Osama Bin Laden. Cheney said that himself. So who did it. All you people who think that the "kooky" theorists are just crazy, havent done the reasearch. If you did your own independant study on the facts and events surronding the 911 tragedy, you would most likely come with one of two conlusions. The first one being that the gouvernment was grossly negligient in its procedures and actions surronding the pre and post 911 events. Basically a bunch of idiots are running the country, and thats scary. And the second being that the gov helped or created this event themselves. Its not about humanity its about money. 911 is a catalyst for so much consumption, which equals billions of dollars of new spending in dry industrys. Meaning whoever planned it made a shit load of cash. Popular mechanics was debunked, and was quite an embarassment.

    So for all those naysayers who arent plants on this site, do your own reasearch and come up with your own conclusion. Something so tantamount to our generation deserves a period of independent reasearch. Go for it before you call me or anyone else crazy.

    anchorite, you really have the reading...

    by childe roland

    ...comprehension of a five year old. If you were capable of reading anything in context, you'd see that politics were the topic of this thread long before I posted in it, and even then my commentary addressed more the nature of humanity as a whole than specific political agendas. Sure, I commented that a Platoon-esque film about the Iraq war would've been more relevant and more Stone's forte, but that is more my expressing a desire to see/hear his particular take on the situation (as I found Platoon fascinating...one of the few VietNam films that can be interpreted as both pro- and anti-war, both pro- and anti-American) than a personal comment from me on the Iraq war itself (which you know full well I do not support because I believe it was sold to the public under false pretenses and furthers an political/economic agenda over the cause of defending anyone's freedoms). Your statement on the end of the world was brilliant and oh-so-relevant. You didn't dispute or refute any of the options I offered as potential explanations for the fact that 9/11 took place. Know why? You can't. No one can. And I'll go you one further...the reason no one can is because either the investigating bodies have been completely inept in their investigations or because somebody (bodies) within those organizations is deliberately not doing his or her job. I don't like those options any more than I do the original set of options surrounding the how and why of 9/11. You keep insisting I must have a leaning or a preference as to what theory I believe. No, dumbass. That's my point. We don't have enough information to fully believe any of them and, unlike you, I am not so desperate to believe in anything that I will leap blindly to a conclusion and defend it ardently, defying logic, because it supports the world view I prefer. The reason you'll never be able to argue with or have a discussion with me about anything is that the objective and patient mindset is completely foreign to you. You don't understand it or anyone who thinks/feels differently than you do. So you come off sounding like a blowhard and a buffoon. I'll be happy to keep drawing attention to that if you persist in wasting my time with your pointless rhetoric.

    On to far more interesting topics, Yackbacker...

    by childe roland

    ...I'm familiar with the concept of Classical Marxism, but you know as well as I that every attempt at that model has failed to some extent (for a current example, see People's Republic of China, which has become all about GNP and global market domination despite its internal message of "power to the people"). Some could argue that the very existence of capitalism within the closed system of a world we share makes the existence of Classical Marxism in its intended form a philosophical impossibility (try as they might, the would-be Marxist governments can't keep news of the wealthiest people in the world from the ears of their citizens, and the thought that someone else somewhere else can have whatever they want whenever they want it is difficult to digest while waiting in line for toilet paper). I'd take that theory a step further and say that especially Americans who have lived and breathed Capitalism for as long as we have would be more then reluctant to embrace any sort of Marxist philosophy (especially if marketed under that label). The mere memory of what was once theoretically possible under a Capitalist government would be enough to make the notion of working for something/someone else/greater than one's self unpalatable even to someone who had nothing but the promise of his weekly lottery ticket purchase under the former, flawed system. That's how ingrained the notion of free enterprise (which, you'll find, in a slightly perverted way - not unlike Communism perverted the core notions of Marxism - is the driving factor behind the careers of many non-psychopathic criminals) is in our cultural beings. So we obviously can't do away with Capitalism (look at what happened to the last guy who tried to convince a nation to forsake their earthly possessions and follow his higher ideals...they nailed him to a couple of boards in the middle east about 2000 years ago, I hear). Since we're waxing philosophical and touching on religion (which Marxism doesn't make allowances for), I've always felt the complete sublimation of desire as espoused by Buddhism (as desire, in that religion, is the root of all suffering) is the one theng preventing that from being an ideal set of rules to live one's personal life by. I think desire is a good thing. I think its a great motivator and one of the few reasons a lot of folks get out of bed in the morning. How does that relate to the larger scale issue we're discussing? The key to changing our world lies in making people desire things that are beneficial for the most people possible because, ultimately, it's in their own best interests. Convincing someone that a portion of their check should go to a program to train the undereducated and unemployable in some contributory skill would probably be less difficult than convincing that same person to give a drunk on the street a dollar (yet some people still think of the latter as charitable and noble). Why? Because it makes sense on a logical, capitalistic level. It's an investment in human capital that will ultimately contribute to the bottom line. I've found, in my discussions with captains of industry and CEOs of various firms, that it's much easier to explain this concept when you put it to them in terms they understand. A business tends to run better when its employees are happy and healthy. They tend to be more productive when they feel they have a healthy balance of personal and work life. And they feel better about the company they work for when they believe that company has a philanthropic interest in the communities it serves (can be rooted in the understanding that what is good for potential consumers/clients is also good for the company, as happy, healthy consumers with more disposable income are more likely to spend it with you if they think you had something to do with that). The Great Place to Work Institute (which, if you know anythign about big business, is one of those bodies that EVERYONE seems very concerned with impressing) keeps stats on all of these issues, which are updated annually according to survey responses from everyone in contention to be on the FORTUNE 100 list of the best places to work in America. I've watched corporations embrace these concepts (all in an effort to make this list and reap the massive PR and recruiting benefits) and often take them even further than I ever dared dream they would, all with ultimately selfish interests but, in this case, the means actually justify the ends. If people in general could understand that our country can be run like a business with a philanthropic bent and a "genuine" interest in being a great place to live (and work), providing opportunities for training and health benefits for its citizens (employees) in exchange for their loyalty and continued contributions, I think the concept of Capitalism would become less evil in many people's eyes. I also think it would ultimately better our standing in the global economy and, through that, our position of power and influence in the world (I'm sorry, but it's easier to sway other nations to your way of thinking if you can show them how well it's worked out for you than if you try and strongarm them into compliance with ultimately futile displays of military might). Of course, this is an academic discussion at this point. But given the intricate relationship between corporate special interests and our government (on both sides of the political divide), I'm amazed that it isn't a more prevalent school of thought/set of talking points among politicians (I think Perot was the last guy to even come close, and most folks thought he was nuts).

    And Lando...

    by childe roland

    ...I wouldn't call your belief/faith in some underlying sense of common decency among humans (and Americans) naive. I'm actually glad you have it, because that indicates to me that others might as well. And there is definitely evidence (historical and current) of individuals who, as Jiminy Cricket so wisely advised, let their consciences be their guides. I think these people are evidence of a basic understanding of the philosophical/political approach I outlined above (one not as entrenched in the trappings of corporate/Capitalist lingo, which I used largely to make a point about how money and even the pursuit of it doesn't necessarily have to be evil). I think people like you understand, deep down, that the world's a small and potentially fucked up place full of a lot of unpredictable (yet oddly predictable) wildcards looking out for their own best interests at the expense of others. Those people (and, I assume, you) understand that it's the very least we can do to try and make the world as a whole a better place for others as well as ourselves because, ultimately, we're all in this together. And it doesn't take a vast conspiracy or even a majority of folks within a subgroup to fuck things up for the rest of us. Sometimes all it takes is a few guys with boxcutters on a hijacked airliner (and, maybe, someone not paying attention on the ground - bey accident or by design because they saw an opportunity to profit personally or believed in their hearts that letting the planes hit was the best thing for America in the long run). But for every one of those people, there's someone who was willing to run into the smoldering wreckage and risk themselves to possibly save another human being. And maybe that's what will make this movie worthwhile (yes, I'm actually entertaining the thought that I might've been to quick to dismiss this picture as unnecessary or irrelevant). If it truly focuses on the heroism of those who didn't see the world in terms of flags or agendas or profits...if it reminds just a few people that there were and are still those truly heroic individuals out there, willing to sacrifice everything that another may survive, then maybe it is worthwhile. I just hope that nobody (I'm looking at the politicians, now) is crude enough to try and use this as an excuse to make the attacks themselves a rallying cry again (either for the war or against the administration). Because I've had more than enough of that in the last six years.

    I think we should all get together at Harry's place and watch THE GOONIES. That would make us all feel better. For awhile... Will things ever change? Not without radical internal revolution, or devastating external influence. The military-industrial complex is one thing, but the machinery of America is so much more complex than even that dimly seen behemoth. It's monstrously huge... and it's blind-stupid, for the most part (the movie CUBE comes to mind). In the meantime, take care of the people you love. Buy a large dog. Learn about emergency procedures, from basic first aid and CPR to stockpiling emergency supplies and sealing up a home against chemical agents. Eschew Headline News for NPR and deeper, more probing news reporting sources. Become active in your community, or at least learn the names of your neighbors, and try to foster a spirit of community (all too rare in modern suburbia). And learn a second language. The truth of America is that nothing ever changes... but the truth of the world, and the human condition, is that EVERYTHING changes. If we feel helpless and unable to affect change ourselves, at least we can be prepared for change to happen. And it will.

    Saw WTC Last Night

    by lisaesca

    Saw the Dallas premier last night. Oliver Stone, Michael Pena (who plays Jimeno), Maggie G. (who plays Jimeno's wife) were there in person. The Jimenos watched it with the audience. In an interview with a local media person a group of us were listening and he said it was their first time watching with an audience, and it was cool how we laughed at the few light moments there were, that it was 95% accurate, down to the conversation the two men had while trapped. The two men and their wives were consultants on the film and they wanted World Trade Center to be an honest record of what happened, for the film to hold up 10, 20, 30 years from now. We saw his leg which is still in a brace but he says he's glad he can walk. Another story about the choosing of his daughter's name (his wife was pregnant on 9/11) that it had the word "live" in the middle of it, a 9/11 widow had pointed out to him, that he didn't realize when he was naming her. My husband, who is also a firefighter, gave Mr. Jimeno a commemorative coin with his fire dept logo on it.

    Roguewriter -- a serious answer:

    by childe roland

    I hope not. There are certainly those who would draw the analogy and, in many respects, their observations would be right on. But for all our similarities, there are some fundamental differences. Despite appearances to the world at large, the majority of Americans don't view themselves as citizens of an Empire and -- again, I hope -- wouldn't support efforts to assimilate the entire world while neglecting to address many of the issues that threaten the nation and originate much closer to home (like in the back yard). I know that belief is easily shaken by posters who insist that American democracy and Capitalism as they currently exist should be adopted by or forced on all nations (you can read variations on that theme all over the INternet) but I have to believe that's a very vocal and undereducated minority. History is replete with examples of empires that grew too big for their britches and lost the support of the citizens who made them strong (not to mention the tactical advantages of a concentrated power base). I'd love to believe the majprity of folks in this representatvie government (or at least the ones who vote) are smart enough to have learned from history, and not in a way that allows them to delude themselves into believing that "this time it will be different because we're smarter/ better equipped/righteousness on our side (arguments that could've been made by almost any leader of any of those previous empires at the height of their power). Maybe that's an example of my naive faith in human nature. I have to believe that our intellect and understanding will eventually overrule our greed and come to terms with our Darwinian drive to secure as comfortable an existence as possible for our progeny. That's going to mean self-awareness, global awareness, a willingness to compromise and to work together (both internally and externally) if the U.S. is to survive in some form resembling the one we know today.

    "Oliver Stone was once asked would he ever direct a movie based on the Desert Storm conflict, his reply was right on the money, "what's the point? CNN have already done it." Mass media coverage filled with propaganda indeed. So what's changed his mind? It's true he's Pro American, it'd be fair to call him a patriot. 9/11 hit every American close to home, regardless of who was to blame, suddenly the ideals and way of life that every US citizen take for granted are put at risk. Everyone's a potential terrorist. It's in Stone's blood to make a film symbolising the heroism of the people that day. But it'll all be in vain if he keeps the proceeds. He'll win the oscar, I'd wager cash on that now before even one frame of film has been shot. Not just because he's contiuning to make the movies he's best at (Platoon, JFK) and will create a wonderful piece of work. But because every American will watch and die inside when they see those towers collapse again."

    The problem with movies like this, IMO...

    by roguewriter

    ... is they tread a fine line between modern America's romantic and practical natures. It's like this: we've been trained all our lives to view movies as a modern sort of Greek amphitheater, where bold souls tell and act out tales of extraordinary heroism bordering on the supernatural. Reaching too far back? Okay, then -- our entire movie industry (and I'm talking Hollywood, not indie branches that have successfully pursued other archetypal storytelling avenues) is based on the concept of the Western. Good guy. Bad guy. Bad situation. Good guy rises to the challenge and, even bruised and bloodied, wins the day. Sometimes at the cost of his own life. That's EVERYTHING that appeals to modern American males when it comes to "big" Hollywood motion pictures. So I think it's fair to say many (most?) of us are stirred by the idea of cinematic firemen running into a burning building to rescue the innocent, even though many of them fall victim themselves in the ensuing conflagration. There's an old, OLD American ideal there, and it sings in the film lover's heart because it's still a variation on the Greek epic, on the Western. The problem with this particular epic, though... is that it also dredges up one of the ugliest moments in modern American history. The romance is stripped away, to a large degree, by the realization that those heroic firefighters WERE BASED ON REAL GUYS. Guys like some of us, who were probably shitting their pants in fear but still ran into those burning buildings... because it was their job, and because it was their calling. And most of them died as a result. In the movies, that kind of heroism is beautiful and romantic and uplifting, even exalting. In real life... it just equates to a lot of heartbreak we can identify with as human beings... a lot of horror and pain and ugliness that it's in our nature to mourn and then put away from ourselves. So we're conflicted... we want the romance, the heroism, the continuation of the American mythos of brave men and sacrifice... but it's also all too goddamned real in the case of 9/11. So we're stuck in the middle. I think it's going to be very hard to sit through this film... harder, perhaps, to embrace the wonder and beauty of the thing than it is to endure the horror of it. We're trained to endure horror, many of us... but we're less well-trained, I think, to endure mythology too recently lifted from modern events. Am I saying "Too soon!"? I don't think so... I'm just saying this particular blend of cinematic storytelling and real-world horror may be incredibly rough for a lot of us to assimilate. I look forward to the experience...

    Explain that shit. I can't, and there are tons of other facts that can't be ignored. Yeah, 9/11 was all masterminded by a group of thugs, who somehow flew a plane past the Pentagon's defense grid, looped around the damn building, then crashed into a relatively empty part of the building (which just so happened to be under construction so no Pentagon employees were there)... and amateur pilots flew airliners with no transponder signal around the country without being intercepted, and precisely hitting their targets while knowing they were about to die. That's insane. There are so many issues with the official story its absurd not to question it. You can go on and on with this stuff... the way they had all the names and faces of the terrorists hours after the 'attacks', the way they shipped the rubble out of the country before any scientific investigation was done (which is a federal crime), how the administration initially refused to have any official investigation into the 'attacks' until the victims' families raised a shitstorm and they had to comply... the thing is, if the nightly news came out and gave these obvious facts the time of day, it would be chaos.

    I'm not saying there was certainly a conspiracy, so I have no set number of people I believe to be "in on it." I'm merely saying it's one of two (three if you're nitpicky) possibilities, none of which has been eliminated yet, and that I won't be any happier with one of the other should any of them ever actually be proven. My lack of faith in humanity's general altruism and decency comes from a study of history and current events, as well as vast personal experiences with people. Genuinely altruistic individuals (those intent on improving the world for others with no eye toward personal gain in this lifetime beyond the gratification that comes from the act itself) are the exception and not the rule. Most folks are looking out for themselves or their families because that's what our instincts are screaming at us to do (with very good reason). I have faith in that. I also have faith that humanity is comprised largely of creatures capable of learning from the past and their own mistakes. I have faith that eventually a grasp of the logical will lead the majority of them to the conclusion that what is best for the world as a whole is what's best for their respective countries of origin and for them individually (particularly if the condition of our shared environment continues to deteriorate and the natural resources we've built our society around continue to dissipate). Actually that last one is more of a hope than a faith issue. If your experience and understanding of humanity has led you to different conclusions about their nature, I envy you.

    The Big Bang

    by roguewriter

    I find it amusing that people still want to call the Big Bang purely a theory, considering scientists around the world have spent the past 30+ years increasing (sometimes on a basis that makes your head spin) our knowledge about the event that initiated the creation of the known universe. Every year we find out more and more about the outer edges of the universe, and we're able to accrue more and more data illustrating, scientifically, that a cataclysmic event sent the cosmos hurtling in all directions, quite likely from a single, central point (I tend to believe it was an outhouse in New Jersey I stopped at once... but that's another story). Do I believe the Big Bang negates a concept of a creator? I do not. In fact, given the spectacular level of violence associated with the Big Bang, I think that kind of shit is right up God's alley. He's one savage motherfucker, that luvvin ole creator of ours. But hey, that's just my theory! ;)

    ... Ah, but "big building DIDN'T fall on little building." It was hit with a small amount of rubble, but not enough to cause major stuctual damage, not enough to cause it to fall. That said, I do have problems with all the conspiracies about 9/11, just as I have problems with "the Official Version" of the events. Of course no one gives a damn what I think, and we'll probably never know exactly what really happened... our great-grandchildren won't either. Life goes on, though... which is why I won't be seeing this one, the first time was bad enough and I don't feel any urge to relive that sinking feeling in my gut again!

    Believe me, I'm no rocket scientist. I just work with them. Sometimes I think I approach their work now with the same dumbfounded, naively accepting awe I had for Christian doctrine in my pre-teens. I try to read everything I can... and I admit much of it flies right past me. But the scientific evidence of the Big Bang is hard to ignore (and dark matter has SOME basis in scientific fact -- there's definitely SOMETHING out there acting on these celestial bodies other than the gravity of other celestial bodies), and as I said, I don't honestly believe it negates the idea of a Higher Sentient Being of some sort. Honestly, despite having utterly lost my Christian faith in the last decade or so, I truly do hope there is a god. I want to look him in the eye and ask him some questions, and see if the Crash Test Dummies were right ("God Shuffled His Feet")... ;)

    I'm not entirely sure but I also believe that every piece was moved to a location and tagged in order to be catalogued and accounted for. There is a whole whirlwind regarding the forensic analysis of the metal and how the conspiracy/9-11 Truthers view this information. Of course, some of the metal must still be out there somewhere because I believe there were reports back then of mobsters stealing some of the steel from the storage site.

    Popular Mechanics Article

    by alexjones

    That Popular Mechanics article soem of you keep on refering to is a hit piece at best. It was edited by one Benjamin Chertoff. He is the cousin/nephew (i forget which one) of Michael Chertoff. Michael Chertoff is the Secretary for the Department for Homeland Security. Coincidence? 9-11 is a typical Problem-Reaction-Solution scenario. You "create" a problem (a terror attack on US soil by Islamo-facist radicals), there is an understandable reaction (outrage), and you offer up the "solution" (War on Terror, Patriot Act, War in Iraq, and so on). This stuff was planned years in advance before 9-11. Don't believe me, look up the Project for the New American Century.

    But there is blame to be assigned! A sick group of individuals with a completely warped sense of spirituality are to blame for the mass loss of lives. And its still going on! So many people say its too soon, we don't need to be reminded, but these same people are breeding violence on this very day AND THE WORLD IS TURNING ITS BACK ON THOSE WHO WOULD DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY FROM THESE SICK BASTARDS. I live in NYC and for weeks after 9/11 the stench of death and destruction filled the air, but I could not bring myself to even close my windows. I couldn't ignore this terrible tragedy. So you may not agree with what is happening in Iraq, that is no excuse to just discontinue the war on terrorism. FUCK HEZBOLLAH THOSE PIECES OF SHIT. That is all of my rant.

I saw about the most depressing line in a Ha'aretz (Israeli newspaper) today: "Fifty civilians dead from an Israeli missile attack. One terrorist hit." Now, how they determined that is beyond me, but it's fucking depressing as all that if for every member of Hezbollah, fifty bystanders (or even five) get knocked off. AICN Talkback is hardly the place for a political discussion, especially one as confounding as this ... but to me, you come off as glib at best (asshole at worst, I'll say it) to post on a fucking AICN Talkback, "Yeah, hooray, kill kill kill ... now where are my cheetos?"

    Inside Job? YES. Will the truth ever emerge? NO.

    by performingmonkey

    I look at it this way. There's no way in Hell that it WASN'T an inside job. If you think about it for more than a second you realize that. It was such a MASSIVE and complex operation that it was IMPOSSIBLE without direct U.S. involvement. People keep saying that it couldn't have been an inside job because hundreds of thousands of people would have to be in on it and keeping their mouth shut right now. NOT SO! It could have been done with less than a hundred, maybe fifty people knowing the FULL story of what was going to happen. If any more knew they are already dead, many on the day of 9/11. Secrets are kept by killing people and not letting anyone know the FULL truth, just parts of it, so that in the end the whole story cannot be connected by just one person. BUSH probably doesn't know the full story. HERE'S WHAT I THINK HAPPENED, briefly. All the WTC buildings were set with explosives. If the planes didn't go to plan they would just set some of them off and say THAT was the attack. The towers would have remained standing. The planes were hijacked by Asian-looking men working for the government. When the transponders were turned off the planes were flown to the nearest military airbases and SOME of the passengers & crew led into hangers where they were unceremoniously executed. Meanwhile, drones took off from the same airbases with the same transponder signals. The remaining passengers and crew were FORCED onto United 93, which of course was then blown out of the sky, thus ending the lives of all the passengers involved on that day. The drones were expertly flown in the North and South towers (the planes were deliberately high so as to cause minimal fatalaties & damage, AND so the impacts were clearly visible to the world, AND also, if they missed the towers they would not fly into other buildings, they would be shot down away from the city where it could be covered up like Flight 93). The drone aimed for the Pentagon was NOT a commercial airliner because it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to pull off the manouvres (sp) to hit the correct wall. It was NOT a missile, but a smaller military craft. This is why there was relatively small damage at the Pentagon and no airliner debris (apart from the stuff obviously planted there later). Once they had made sure that most people were out of the towers and there was ample camera coverage of the scene, they brought down WTC 1 & 2 using explosives planted in the buildings. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that either tower would have collapsed just as a result of the plane impact, gas explosions and burning fires. They fell at almost freefall speed (WTC 7 was virtually freefall - IMPOSSIBLE without controlled demolition). This was done to minimize further damage. The evidence of demolition was quickly destroyed (shipped to China and melted down)before it could be analysed. There's pages and pages of evidence out there.

    YackBacker is a douchebag

    by memphis rail

    This is my first time posting on this site, though I've been a long time reader. I was browsing through the comments and I have to say that YackBacker is a self-righteous, egocentric dim-wit with no ambitions or goals for himself, so he sets himself against other people in a battle of words and waxes intellectual until he condescends his opponent into feeling like they're an idiot for believing anything that is different from his. Well, YackBacker, not everyone cares to sit around in their room and learn useless factoids about famous serial killers and drop those factoids on friends to make them think that you are smarter than you really are.

    Granted, one person is not going to walk into Washington and make the Bush administration crumble or bring the fascist Fox News station to its knees. But a large enough group of people could or, if nothing else, they can educate enough people so that lying, irresponsible, morons like Bush will never get elected again. It's apathetic, complacent fuckheads like yourself that cramp the efforts of people who care about their country and who pay attention and who want to be apart of the solution and not the problem.

    Remember one thing: silence is consent. If you think that what the government or what people are doing is wrong, don't keep your mouth shut, or else they'll keep on doing it.

So don't bother with them. They could care less that their country has been hijacked by Neocons who don't give a rat's ass about Americans. They think if they align themselves with rich right-wingers, that somehow that wealth will transfer to them by osmosis.

Please equivocate to us the indiscriminate wrath of those jooos and their targeting of peaceful organizations such as Hezbollah with the selective, surgical strikes Hamas makes on Isreali military installations at crowded beaches, malls, etc. (because we all know Isreali military leaders are women and children who frequent the aforementioned bases) Please enlighten us. If you want to talk genocide I have no problem with genocide on Hezbollah, they brought in on themselves and only they can choose when and if it ends.

And sometimes its Bushitleraburton in conjunction with the jews. But always the most acceptable, brief, general answer you can give is "zionist" its all encompassing really. **** Also i must say that I normally don't engage you fucking retards in your quest to take down the New World Order, its something I retired from long ago, and I am not one to run around yelling "racist" or "anti-semite" because I see that all the time on here and I hate it because most of the time its overreaction but seriously I know when you scroll back and read what you type, you don't see it, you are blind to it.

    I'd be very surprised you're capable of shedding any tears for anyone. You'd lose your right-wing nut membership card if you did. Only Liberals shed tears for people, hence the term "bleeding heart". Combat terrorism? By bombing refugee camps and innocent Lebanese? Was Hitler combating terrorism too? Oh my, that puts a whole new spin on the Third Reich.

    I can appreciate your passionate and reasoned defense of Israeli tactics, so I'll say this to you: In my view, Israel is indeed committing as egregious a crime on the Palestinian people as the Nazis did - not only to the Jews, but to other people too. Those people were part of the holocaust. The rhetoric of the extreme right-wing Jews (and Christian Zionists) is as despicable as the propaganda that came out of Goebbels' mouth. By saying that 50 Arab lives are not worth one Jew's finger - isn't that reminiscent of how Aryans viewed the Jews? Yes, it is. But don't take my word for it, or even those of my Jewish friends, who moved here to New York from Israel because they could not live there anymore and disagree with their government's actions.

    I applaud your post if only for your effort. Most of it is a rehash of the brief history of Israel and your solution amounts to nothing more than what's been said by Israeli spokesmen on CNN for the past week. Which is no solution at all because you did not address the Palestinian issue at all. What you just said focused only on the current events in Lebanon and you offered not a shred of a lasting solution. But since you showed some effort, I'll give you some ideas of mine, while I wait for your sister to come for an ass-banging.

    For Yackbacker

    by brokebackcowboy

    Here are some of my ideas. The core of the problem is that the Palestinians had their land stolen from them. I'm of the school of thought - shared by many Israelis and Jews in the diaspora - that land for peace is the only solution. Only a rapid establishment of a viable Palestinian nation, on inhabitable land, can neutralize the cause that so many extremists have taken up against Israel. This backed by a full UN and Arab League force to protect the new borders will create a safeguard against any terrorist intervention. Once the Palestinians are no longer refugees being attacked and killed in camps (shades of the Third Reich, wouldn't you say), and have their own nation, what would be the cause of the terrorists? This is a solution that I did not propose - it is out there, being talked about and debated by many. But it's also the solution that is being called appeasement and it's a solution that is hated by the right-wing Israelis, who would rather occupy 1,000 acres with 100 settlers and 10,000 soldiers than give up an inch to Arabs. What sucks is I don't get a Nobel prize.

    You and I have the same solution - the ultimate goal of a Palestinian Nation. However, we're working in opposite directions. You're proposing to neutralize Hezbollah first and then working on the timetable. Israel has been great - for the last 30 years - at delaying forever the establishment of a Palestinian nation. Everyone knows it would never happen unless it was forced upon Israel. Even a moderate prime minister like Yitzhak Rabin, who dared to negotiate with Arafat, was assasinated by his own people. Israel relies on eternal conflict to deny the Palestinians a nation. One car bomb, and what happens next? A full-on assault on thousands of Palestinians. Hundreds killed in days. And that just feeds into Hezbollah. You think you can wipe out terrorism by wiping out Hezbollah? Did you see Munich? What did Avner say at the end, after he had assassinated so many of the terrorists ... "What have we accomplished? We kill one, another ten take their place". That's why he moved to Brooklyn. That is why he rejected his government's actions. So you kill the cause that feeds the terrorists.

They could call for the destruction of Israel all they want but it's not going to happen by their hands. The Palestinians know that they are being used by Iran and Syria as proxy soldiers against Israel. But what if they were given their nation? What if they didn't have a cause anymore, to attack Israelis up close? You think Iran and Syria are going to use their own troops to invade Israel? Don't think so. Anyway, that's my take. In any case, Anchorite's still blathering about the Palestinians being Syrians and they don't deserve a state, so the Nazi mentality marches on.

So while I dont agree with your suggestions, Yackbacker, i respect your ability to present them, and believe that this discourse may one day lead to change. Not necessarily changing the issue that we are currently discussing, but one can never know, when the contents of an intellgent debate may reappear in ones life. So Yackback, Dont lose faith in the power of discourse and debate. So when you ask "You guys really think you can make a difference?"

    The propaganda campaign for war, for Israel

    by Leon Fisher, Unknown News

    July 19, 2006

    Despite the failure of the American military to subdue Iraq, the pro-Israel elements in Washington and in the US media are conspiring to enlarge the war to Syria and Iran.

    The propaganda campaign is in full swing as the fighting in Lebanon escalates. The mainstream American media, as well as the President and both major political parties, are once again portraying Israel as the victim of axis of evil member Iran, and to a lesser degree, Syria.

    The mainstream media is continuously reminding us that Israel has the right to defend itself with Israel's political shills in Washington echoing their every word. They tell us that Israel is only reacting to the kidnapping of their soldiers in Gaza and southern Lebanon, and the Lebanese and Palestinians people must take blame for refusing to take action against Hamas and Hezbollah. This is of course total nonsense.


    It is not Israel which is being occupied by Hamas and Hezbollah, but Israel, whose military forces have been illegally occupying Gaza, the West Bank, and until recently, southern Lebanon.

    The major news organizations will attempt to link the long range rocket which hit Haifa with Iran, but make no mention of US-made and paid-for Israeli F-15 and F-16 fighter bombers and helicopters laying waste to Beirut and Gaza.

    It is obvious that this latest violence in Gaza and Lebanon has been prepared well in advance in Tel Aviv and in Washington to influence public opinion in favor of war with Iran.

    With a few new players, this is still the same crowd that lied to the world about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, justifying the illegal and immoral war on Iraq. The same unceasing propaganda also accuses Iran of developing nuclear weapons but remains silent about Israel's own large nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons arsenal.

    Bush and the rest of the Washington lunatics are determined to go to war with Iran no matter what the consequences, and along with their fellow conspirators in Tel Aviv they are chomping at the bit. However, there is a real possibility that an expansion of the war can backfire, as we are witnessing in Iraq. This new war can result in disaster for all.

    Committed to a long and costly war/occupation, the end result will most likely be heavy casualties and economic ruin for America, Israel, and Iran, leaving the rest of the Middle East in chaos for decades.

    Comes out in time for mid-term election season, but...

    by brandloyalist

    ... who's to say whom that serves? The Regressives' record on security is reflected in things like Homeland Security's partisan porkfest of vulnerable terror targets database, which leaves out "Times Square, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge [and] the Statue of Liberty", but includes "Old MacDonald's Petting Zoo near Huntsville, Ala., a bourbon festival, a bean festival and the Kangaroo Conservation Center in Dawsonville, Ga." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13822662/ The list also includes 718 mortuaries and 25 golf courses (Carl Spackler still hasn't been killed or captured, after all), an insect zoo, and a host of other absurd pieces of "critical infrastructure". But the money to protect all of those quaint pieces of Americana had to come from somewhere, so security funding for Boston, NYC and DC is to be cut by 40%. Meanwhile, the Taliban is making a comeback in Afghanistan, and Iraq is in chaos & under growing Iranian influence in the south. Maybe the GOP should be careful about invoking the memory of 9/11 themselves this election season. Republicans considered strong on defense? How 80's. Stone didn't make the JFK-style conspiracy movie that some laughingly predicted, but that doesn't make the movie a neo-con campaign ad. Tell you what, though: if they nail Bin Laden in October, I'm fastening the chin strap on my tinfoil hat and leaving it that way at least through 2009.

    DocPazuzu - Extremist Israelis are not LIKE Nazis

    by brokebackcowboy

    The right-wing Israelis are WORSE than Nazis. Because killing Palestinians by destroying their homes (with them still in them), shooting and bombing them, uprooting their farms so they can't produce food, placing entire populations under siege to starve them to death from food and medicing, killing humanitarian workers like Rachel Corry, and bombing Lebanon over the fake pretense of trying to reclaim 2 soldiers makes them worse than Nazis. Because the Nazis never claimed to be victims, they were at least honest about their evil. I'm glad at least that the moderate Jews are trying to protest their government's actions. Look at it this way, if you can get your head around it - the Nazis were bad, but certainly not all Germans were. Oskar Schindler helped save as many Jews as possible. I can only hope the real Jews stand up for human rights and save the Palestinians. Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't it be nice to have no sins to atone for?

    Must be acknowledged by the majority of the Palestinian people. All we can do is broker a land-for-peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians and quickly establish a nation for them. Once this is done, peace will ensue. Naysayers can harp all they want about how dangerous Iran and Syria will be, etc. ad nauseum, but if this doesn't happen and they refuse to stop killing the Palestinians, then Israel will be know as the evil worse-than-Nazi thugs they're behaving like. Like I said, r-w Israelis don't want peace - they want eternal conflict because they think they can starve the Palestinians to death and just get rid of them by dying them off. God's Chosen people? Hardly.

    Anchorite - Israel's right to exist

    by brokebackcowboy

    So if the Jews occupied the Holy Land thousands of years before the Palestinians, they have a right to come back and reclaim that land as theirs? In that case, the primates who occupied the Holy Land hundreds of thousands of years before want their land back. And the inter-galactic aliens who occupied that land millions of years ago want it back too. Idiot.

    Docpazuzu - Leave ZFisk alone

    by brokebackcowboy

    I don't know why you're trying so hard to discredit ZFisk. He has his opinions and none of it resembles the outright racist ramblings of Anchorite, who compared the Palestinians to African-Americans, who in his view have a fear of failure and so are doomed to it. But what do you expect? Evil doesn't recognize evil in the mirror. It sees whatever it wants to see.

    Most terrifying moment in U.S. History...

    by markwhittington

    "WORLD TRADE CENTER is about one of the downright scariest, most terrifying moments in U.S. History."

    Hmm. More terrifying than Antietam? Pearl Harbor? Normandy? Tet? Harry's problem, like a lot of other left wingers, is that he thinks history began when he was born.

    "No blame assigned?" Well, I'm happy that Stone apparenty hasn't inserted his wacko conspiracy theories, but by not mentioning who actually did it, I guess World Trade Center is a glorified Irwin Allen style disaster movie, but with better special effects.

    useful idiots, you know who you are.

    by cantankerous

    Israel is a proxy for western civilization, fighting a battle against an enemy whose ultimate goal is to covert the world to Islam or submit to its rule. Israel is a thorn in the side of this Muslim (misplaced) superiority complex - a non-Islamic state smack dab in the middle of Muslim-land. To make matters worse, every time the surrounding Muslim nations tried to destroy Israel by force they were utterly humiliated - a deep psychological wound that will never go away while Israel still exists. So they have had to change to more subversive tactics, infiltrating the western nations with huge numbers of immigrants and enlisting our own useful idiots (bleeding heart liberals, mostly) to their cause by casting themselves as the poor defenseless victims in a class struggle against the rich, imperialistic oppressors. Unfortunately it has worked to some extent. Just read some of the posts in this talkback. Sad.

    Cantakerous - Speaking of infiltration

    by brokebackcowboy

    Yes, those wily Palestinians who are having their homes bulldozed, farms razed, families abducted, and villages and refugee camps attacked by gunships and missles are infiltrating the Western world with their brainswashing. They're not really doing enough of a job since people like you still want them dead and out of the way. You view these human beings as nothing more than a nuisance. I'd much rather be a bleeding heart Liberal than a hating-spewing Nazi wannabe like some of the posters in this TB. A hate-spewing Nazi wannabe who also claims to be a victim too - the worst kind of hypocrite to ever grace this planet.

    The whole thing falls to ashes and dust...

    by roguewriter

    ... every time you look at images on CNN.com or other news sites. This is where I lose rage and fury and am left with nothing but despair. The pictures. Believe me, I want to rage at both sides: I think Israel exhibits a self-righteous, fundamentalist, boderline-evil psychosis every bit as dangerous as that demonstrated by other Middle Eastern nations, and I think the Arab countries are sadistic, backward sandpits that don't really practice what they preach (otherwise, they'd have blown up all the oilfields years ago to foil the Great Satan and its allies... but methinks the bastards in power like the gold more than the Word of God). See? I can hate. We can all hate. It's easy. It's the human way. That hatred runs so fucking deep, you could just reach out and smash and kill every balalala-ing person of color dancing in the street in the Middle East, couldn't you? Every "Zionist" and Muslim alike. Let them ALL perish in the fire. It's easy to think that way, and it's even encouraged (even here, among cinephiles, whom I've always considered a helluva lot more enlightened that your average knuckle-dragging joe)... Hate away, neighbors! But then... you see the imagery. You see these little kids weeping, covered in blood, some of them missing arms and legs. They look like kids living on your block, don't they? Big eyes, sweet, bewildered faces... You see mothers, grandmothers, cradling bodies. They look like women you see in the local mall, don't they? You look at these images, and you don't see terrorists. You don't see murderers. You don't see genocidal madman. You see human beings. You see your own mother, your own four-year-old son. ............ Goddammit, we cannot continue to dehumanize one another this way. We cannot reduce human beings to a faceless mass called "enemy." I know all the arguments: those bloodied children and mourning parents exist because of this faction's ideology or that government's transgressions... I know all that. And I wonder what the fuck happened to all their hearts, all their souls. And to ours. You remember Milosevic misquoting scripture: "I do love my neighbors. I love to kill them"? Remember Idi Amin? Remember Hitler and Stalin? We're marching in that direction again. Sliding toward the charnelhouse. How does it happen? How does any God let it happen, if such an omnipotent being exists? And how do any of us let it happen, who call ourselves children of God, or citizens of the world, or just human beings? Lotta good folks in the world. Lotta bad ones, too. But they didn't start out bad. They started out little kids playing in the streets. And then the bombs fell.............. I'm all outa rage. Nothing left but despair. I watch my son at play, and I wonder who could ever drop a mortar on him, even by accident (because they were aiming for me). It has to end. I have no clue how. But it has to end. Better we're all consumed than this madness continue another hundred or thousand years... Peace.

Man, theres whole bunch of my "country" men who are Jews are they're are bitching about our goverment not getting them out quick enough. I wish our goverment would just get them rounded up in one spot and give Hitler the co-ordinates so they can just blow them all to tiny meaty chunks. Be doing my country and world a huge fucking favour. Fuck them. I hope Hitler wipes Every single Jew fucker off the face of the earth by the end of this conflict.

    Bravo, Roguewriter.

    by childe roland

    Although they won't be acknowledged by many, your words were heard and appreciated by me. I can't believe some of the things I've seen typed by both sides of this pro-/anti-Israeli argument. I've touched on this subject with anchorite before and it never goes anywhere. Because ultimately he (and many like him) feel that the uncontested security of the Israeli state in the Middle East is not only an absolute moral right (and I'm sorry, but I don't see how one can simply disregard Palestine in coming to that conclusion) but is critical to the U.S.'s plans for the Middle East. While I might even be obliged to agree with both of those points (not the absolute moral right of Israel to extinguish any force that opposes them, but certainly that they have the right to exist), the whole thing calls into question the U.S.'s plans for the region. Should we have plans for hte region? Isn't our uncompromising support of Israel against all comers in the region one of the major elements fueling hatred of our nation and our people in that region? Isn't it one of the leading causes of anti-U.S. Muslim terrorism? Even if we believe the state of Israel is a necessary thorn in the side of the Muslim world, how much of our energy and effort should be devoted to irritating the Muslims? And if we believe that the absence of the Israeli state (an element that actually seems to unify these Muslim nations against common foes) would result in the Muslim world tearing itself apart, wouldn't that be a quicker way to further our agenda in the region without a lot of cost in American lives? Not that I condone that approach, but if the U.S. government were more straightforward about its intentions in the region, I'm betting it could find both rational and irrational support among the voting populace for just about anything it wanted to do over there. I've long said that if Bush were honest about his reasons for going to war in Iraq (or if his people were honest with him about it so he could relay the information to us), if the people had been told it would be in the country's best financial and political interests to topple Hussein's regime and install a U.S. friendly democracy, they probably wouold've gotten the support they needed for the effort anyway (I wouldn't personally have backed it, but I know a lot of folks in this very talkback would've). If the agendas were laid bare and the motives were made known, I'm not saying things would unfold any differently...but I doubt we'd have anyone celebrating the deaths of anyone else based on their religious beliefs or countries of origin. That's just reprehensible. I have no love for Bush, but I didn't say "Shit! Maybe next time" when he nearly choked to death on a pretzel. And that wasn't just because I'm terrified of what Cheney might do as President. It was because you don't celebrate or hope for someone else's death. You don't cheer for wars. Also, the notion that the Palestinians don't want things to change in their region for fear of having to actually establish their own nation is asinine. They want to be shot and blown up? They want to live in fear and desperation? Nobody wants those things. If they wanted to play the pitifully oppressed, they wouldn't fight back. And whoever asked if someone else would step aside and let others flee a burning building first in order to determine the relative value of human lives, I'm sad that you went there with the smug assumption that the person you were testing would fail and reaffirmed my general lack of faith in human nature. But, fortunately, the very review that precipitated this talkback is a clear reminder that there are those who would not only let others leave first, they'd turn around help those who couldn't make it out on their own. The event that inspired this film is replete with real-life, documented examples of just that sort of selflessness...that sort of heroism. And I promise you that those people weren't concerned with whether they were helping Jews or Muslims or Christians or Americans or visiting foreign nationals. I promise you they didn't stop to wonder about those things or poll people on their backgrounds or political leanings. The very fact that people like this exist gives me hope. In fact, when reading talkbacks like this, it may be the only thing.

Also, even though I can't condone the terror tactics being carried out by the Lebanon based Hezbollah, I can neither understand or support the Israeli governments continued oppression of Palestinians. It is also worth noting that the State of Israel was founded on violence, both from extreme Arab and Jewish terrorist organisations.

Now if you were a Palestinian, and the Israelis have created an actual aparteid state of Israel (while hypocritically calling it a 'democracy' - but that's only if you're a right-wing Jew) and classified your people as less-than-human, bull-dozed your homes, shot and killed your family members and friends, razed hundreds of thousands of acres of your farmland so you cannot subsist on your own and your food and medicine supply is at the mercy of the Israelis, and you were put in refugee camps and the Israelis would periodically come in and bomb your camps just to remind you that you are lower than animals in their eyes, and they abducted your family members and friends in the middle of the night for no reason but to terrify your people, and they send in helicopter gunships to shoot you, what would you do? Would you sit quietly and take it? Or would you fight back? Damn, I hope I answered your question. That's a lot of typing and I am hungry. I could use a good Pastrami on Jewish Rye with mustard.

You can't get your head away from it. It consumes you, and when you come across someone like me, who has empathy for the Palestinians, the Lebanese, all you can do is lump me in with Hezbollah. It's pathetic. Because once the words are exchanged, there is no way you can justify what Israel has done, and is doing - committing long-term genocide.

    regarding 9-11

    by slkboxrman

    for all that discount the conspiracy talk as baseless and made up from a few kooky websites and rely on history,,,i guess ur all just believing the "history" that the goverment tells u and what the news reports...you are a complacent, ignorant american, one of the many ignorant assholes that elected george bush in the first place...if you even looked at the first 10 minutes of the film "loose change" then u would watch the whole film and question everything we were told in the following days after 9/11...lots of the film is actual news footage and interviews that aired live that day...nothing dubbed, airbrushed or nothing...

    if there is any reason to see this movie, at least u know it actually happened, not like the fictional heroes on flight 93....what a joke that was, they reference that in the movie too, but personally i think it got shot down by the goverment, but u cant tell ur tax paying citizens that u shot down fellow taxpayers now can u ? so they cook up this heroic bullshit that the FDNY is still milking into the ground....so the other reason to see this movie is to see how two cops survived getting fucked over by our goverment trying to justify a war in afghanistan and then convienently say iraq was involved as well...... none of u should be surprised , especially whoever said he refers to history, he should check his history, he may be interested to know how the goverment tested the effects of high radiation on its own unsuspecting citizens back in the 40s or 50s.... knowing it would probably really fuck em up....so yea our goverment really loves us and would never lie to us......the way the goverment is lying to its own citizens, they might as well show bush burning an american flag, cuz what hes' been doing is effectively that anyways

    with sane people. And these folks clearly don't qualify. For instance, I am waiting for the Lebanese government to ask Hezbollah to stop shelling Jews and Arabs from their country. Oh, wait. Fantasy moment! Jews surrender now to the genocidal maniacs, or you are fascists! Rinse and repeat. That's right, now I remember. On another note, I will probably see Lady, but now I'm not looking forward to it due to all of the bad reviews. But I did like The Village, so maybe I will enjoy this film. I kind of like unravelling the logic in the movies (and I found Village to be achingly sweet), but Night is getting in the way of his movies, like Mori said.

    by superninja

    usually he is trying to say something. Most movies aren't, or they think they are but then aren't really sure what they are saying. Or they are just inconsistent and don't think the audience will notice or care. Night's movies seem to know exactly what they want to say, even if perhaps the execution is somewhat off. And I really, really enjoy that kind of thing. Because everything has a meaning. He personally annoys me, and I wish he would not insert himself into his movies.

    He was asked the question, but I think he said you can read whatever you want into it, and certainly he could see how some people could get that. What also stuck out for me was that people lie often to conceal pain and think they are doing themselves and others a favor, when inevitably you can't escape it. It is really another hindrance, not freedom, and the lie ends up controlling you and others. And that genuine love (sacrificial, unselfish kind) is able to overcome fear. Her character completely matures over the course of the film from a girl into a woman. Interesting little movie, although clumsy in places.

    but then you could say it was a result of social circumstances because he did not follow the rules (no fear because he was simple) and went into the forest, so he knew the deception the elders were playing with the other villagers and mimicked it, but without the pretend.

    I don't think Ledger is hot or anything, but I do think he's an interesting actor. And I kind of like offbeat choices for these kinds of parts. Now, if they use his looks and try to fetishize the Joker in any way, I will be enormously unhappy. However, the closer we get to a "realistic" Joker vs. a "realistic" Batman, the more uncomfortable I get. The Joker is really sort of a sick character, and I do not relish a Killing Joke Batman 2, etc. The Animated Joker strikes the right balance, and I'm not sure how much beyond that I would want them to go. Which, of course they will.

    Liam Neeson is a scene chewer.

    by superninja

    The real waste was Ken Watanabe. He should've been the main villain and Neeson fishfood. Ra's Al Ghul my rear. Although, he had the funniest line, "I see you've taken my advice a bit LITERALLY." in regards to the costume. But I do agree with you about the relationships and Bruce's core characterization. He's not a psycho. He is a very kind person who is deeply wounded and struggling to find that delicate balance between venegance and justice. So he dresses up like a bat to aid the oppressed? Who hasn't? Anyway, more fantasy in the next one now that the realism (yawn) is established. Ledger has that great gigantic grin and is actually a very subtle actor. The Joker is all about wild mood swings. I could see him pulling it off.

    by superninja

    I like the origin where he's pushed into crime by the mob and then he falls into the vat because of the Bat. The Joker is a diabolically intelligent person who thinks he is funny when he is not and wastes all his time trying to be a comedian. So he blames the audience (everyone) for not getting the joke. He wants to set up a stage and then kill people over and over again for not thinking he's funny. When he obviously is smart enough to be doing better things, he doesn't. And then he fixates on Batman, because Batman prevents his stagings and isn't intimidated enough to laugh at his jokes.

    I don't think Batman has to create the Joker for the premise to work. In fact, I never buy that whole "you created me" line. Because, no he didn't. All that psycho stuff was already there just waiting to get out. However, they have created a Batsignal at the end of the film and are talking about escalation, so it would not be difficult to suggest that Batman had created the Joker between that gap in the time right up to the ending with Gordon.

    THE TOP 40


    THE TOP 40
    REASONS TO DOUBT THE OFFICIAL STORY OF SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001

    ... An outline in simple talking points ...


    Version of May 22, 2006: This overview is in development. If you use the search function with key words, you will discover that 911Truth.org is home to articles backing virtually every point made below. Much of the basic research is available at the Complete 9/11 Timeline (hosted by cooperativeresearch.org), the 9/11 Reading Room (911readingroom.org), and the Spitzer petition and complaint (Justicefor911.org). For physical evidence discussion, see Point 7.


    THE DAY ITSELF - EVIDENCE OF COMPLICITY

    1) AWOL Chain of Command
    a. It is well documented that the officials topping the chain of command for response to a domestic attack - George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers, Montague Winfield - all found reason to do something else during the actual attacks, other than assuming their duties as decision-makers.
    b. Who was actually in charge? Dick Cheney, Richard Clarke, Norman Mineta and the 9/11 Commission directly conflict in their accounts of top-level response to the unfolding events, such that several (or all) of them must be lying.
    2) Air Defense Failures
    a. The US air defense system failed to follow standard procedures for responding to diverted passenger flights.
    b. Timelines: The various responsible agencies - NORAD, FAA, Pentagon, USAF, as well as the 9/11 Commission - gave radically different explanations for the failure (in some cases upheld for years), such that several officials must have lied; but none were held accountable.
    c. Was there an air defense standdown?

    3) Pentagon Strike
    How was it possible the Pentagon was hit 1 hour and 20 minutes after the attacks began? Why was there no response from Andrews Air Force Base, just 10 miles away and home to Air National Guard units charged with defending the skies above the nation's capital? How did Hani Hanjour, a man who failed as a Cessna pilot on his first flight in a Boeing, execute a difficult aerobatic maneuver to strike the Pentagon? Why did the attack strike the just-renovated side, which was largely empty and opposite from the high command?

    4) Wargames
    a. US military and other authorities planned or actually rehearsed defensive response to all elements of the 9/11 scenario during the year prior to the attack - including multiple hijackings, suicide crashbombings, and a strike on the Pentagon.
    b. The multiple military wargames planned long in advance and held on the morning of September 11th included scenarios of a domestic air crisis, a plane crashing into a government building, and a large-scale emergency in New York. If this was only an incredible series of coincidences, why did the official investigations avoid the issue? There is evidence that the wargames created confusion as to whether the unfolding events were "real world or exercise." Did wargames serve as the cover for air defense sabotage, and/or the execution of an "inside job"?

    5) Flight 93
    Did the Shanksville crash occur at 10:06 (according to a seismic report) or 10:03 (according to the 9/11 Commission)? Does the Commission wish to hide what happened in the last three minutes of the flight, and if so, why? Was Flight 93 shot down, as indicated by the scattering of debris over a trail of several miles?


    THE DAY - POSSIBLE SMOKING GUNS

    6) Did cell phones work at 30,000 feet in 2001? How many hijackings were attempted? How many flights were diverted?

    7) Demolition Hypothesis
    What caused the collapse of a third skyscraper, WTC 7, which was not hit by a plane? Were the Twin Towers and WTC 7 brought down by explosives? (See "The Case for Demolitions," the websites wtc7.net and 911research.wtc7.net, and the influential article by physicist Steven Jones. See also items no. 16 and 24, below.)


    FOREKNOWLEDGE & THE ALLEGED HIJACKERS

    8) What did officials know? How did they know it?
    a. Multiple allied foreign agencies informed the US government of a coming attack in detail, including the manner and likely targets of the attack, the name of the operation (the "Big Wedding"), and the names of certain men later identified as being among the perpetrators.
    b. Various individuals came into possession of specific advance knowledge, and some of them tried to warn the US prior to September 11th.
    c. Certain prominent persons received warnings not to fly on the week or on the day of September 11th.

    9) Able Danger, Plus - Surveillance of Alleged Hijackers
    a. The men identified as the 9/11 ringleaders were under surveillance for years beforehand, on the suspicion they were terrorists, by a variety of US and allied authorities - including the CIA, the US military's "Able Danger" program, the German authorities, Israeli intelligence and others.
    b. Two of the alleged ringleaders who were known to be under surveillance by the CIA also lived with an FBI asset in San Diego, but this is supposed to be yet another a coincidence.
    10) Obstruction of FBI Investigations prior to 9/11
    A group of FBI officials in New York systematically suppressed field investigations of potential terrorists that might have uncovered the alleged hijackers - as the Moussaoui case once again showed. The stories of Sibel Edmonds, Robert Wright, Coleen Rowley and Harry Samit, the "Phoenix Memo," David Schippers, the 199i orders restricting investigations, the Bush administration's order to back off the Bin Ladin family, the reaction to the "Bojinka" plot, and John O'Neil do not, when considered in sum, indicate mere incompetence, but high-level corruption and protection of criminal networks, including the network of the alleged 9/11 conspirators. (Nearly all of these examples were omitted from or relegated to fleeting footnotes in The 9/11 Commission Report.)

    11) Insider Trading
    a. Unknown speculators allegedly used foreknowledge of the Sept. 11th events to profiteer on many markets internationally - including but not limited to "put options" placed to short-sell the two airlines, WTC tenants, and WTC re-insurance companies in Chicago and London.
    b. In addition, suspicious monetary transactions worth hundreds of millions were conducted through offices at the Twin Towers during the actual attacks.
    c. Initial reports on these trades were suppressed and forgotten, and only years later did the 9/11 Commission and SEC provide a partial, but untenable explanation for only a small number of transactions (covering only the airline put options through the Chicago Board of Exchange).

    12) Who were the perpetrators?
    a. Much of the evidence establishing who did the crime is dubious and miraculous: bags full of incriminating material that happened to miss the flight or were left in a van; the "magic passport" of an alleged hijacker, found at Ground Zero; documents found at motels where the alleged perpetrators had stayed days and weeks before 9/11.
    b. The identities of the alleged hijackers remain unresolved, there are contradictions in official accounts of their actions and travels, and there is evidence several of them had "doubles," all of which is omitted from official investigations.
    c. What happened to initial claims by the government that 50 people involved in the attacks had been identified, including the 19 alleged hijackers, with 10 still at large (suggesting that 20 had been apprehended)? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-worldtrade-50suspects,0,1825231.story


    THE 9/11 COVER-UP, 2001-2006

    13) Who Is Osama Bin Ladin?
    a. Who judges which of the many conflicting and dubious statements and videos attributed to Osama Bin Ladin are genuine, and which are fake? The most important Osama Bin Ladin video (Nov. 2001), in which he supposedly confesses to masterminding 9/11, appears to be a fake. In any event, the State Department's translation of it is fraudulent.
    b. Did Osama Bin Ladin visit Dubai and meet a CIA agent in July 2001 (Le Figaro)? Was he receiving dyalisis in a Pakistani military hospital on the night of September 10, 2001 (CBS)?
    c. Whether by Bush or Clinton: Why is Osama always allowed to escape?
    d. The terror network associated with Osama, known as the "data base" (al-Qaeda), originated in the CIA-sponsored 1980s anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan. When did this network stop serving as an asset to covert operations by US intelligence and allied agencies? What were its operatives doing in Kosovo, Bosnia and Chechnya in the years prior to 9/11?

    14) All the Signs of a Systematic 9/11 Cover-up
    a. Airplane black boxes were found at Ground Zero, according to two first responders and an unnamed NTSB official, but they were "disappeared" and their existence is denied in The 9/11 Commission Report.
    b. US officials consistently suppressed and destroyed evidence (like the tapes recorded by air traffic controllers who handled the New York flights).
    c. Whistleblowers (like Sibel Edmonds and Anthony Shaffer) were intimidated, gagged and sanctioned, sending a clear signal to others who might be thinking about speaking out.
    d. Officials who "failed" (like Myers and Eberhard, as well as Frasca, Maltbie and Bowman of the FBI) were given promotions.

    15) Poisoning New York
    The White House deliberately pressured the EPA into giving false public assurances that the toxic air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe. This knowingly contributed to an as-yet unknown number of health cases and fatalities, and demonstrates that the administration does consider the lives of American citizens to be expendable on behalf of certain interests.

    16) Disposing of the Crime Scene
    The rapid and illegal scrapping of the WTC ruins at Ground Zero disposed of almost all of the structural steel indispensable to any investigation of the collapse mechanics. (See also item no. 23, below.)

    17) Anthrax
    Mailings of weapons-grade anthrax - which caused a practical suspension of the 9/11 investigations - were traced back to US military stock. Soon after the attacks began in October 2001, the FBI approved the destruction of the original samples of the Ames strain, disposing of perhaps the most important evidence in identifying the source of the pathogens used in the mailings. Were the anthrax attacks timed to coincide with the Afghanistan invasion? Why were the letters sent only to media figures and to the leaders of the opposition in the Senate (who had just raised objections to the USA PATRIOT Act)?

    18) The Stonewall
    a. Colin Powell promised a "white paper" from the State Department to establish the authorship of the attacks by al-Qaeda. This was never forthcoming, and was instead replaced by a paper from Tony Blair, which presented only circumstantial evidence, with very few points actually relating to September 11th.
    b. Bush and Cheney pressured the (freshly-anthraxed) leadership of the Congressional opposition into delaying the 9/11 investigation for months. The administration fought against the creation of an independent investigation for more than a year.
    c. The White House thereupon attempted to appoint Henry Kissinger as the chief investigator, and acted to underfund and obstruct the 9/11 Commission.

    19) A Record of Official Lies
    a. "No one could have imagined planes into buildings" - a transparent falsehood upheld repeatedly by Rice, Rumsfeld and Bush.
    b. "Iraq was connected to 9/11" - The most "outrageous conspiracy theory" of all, with the most disastrous impact.

    20) Pakistani Connection - Congressional Connection
    a. The Pakistani intelligence agency ISI, creator of the Taliban and close ally to both the CIA and "al-Qaeda," allegedly wired $100,000 to Mohamed Atta just prior to September 11th, reportedly through the ISI asset Omar Saeed Sheikh (later arrested for the killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, who was investigating ISI connections to "al-Qaeda.")
    b. This was ignored by the congressional 9/11 investigation, although the senator and congressman who ran the probe (Bob Graham and Porter Goss) were meeting with the ISI chief, Mahmud Ahmed, on Capitol Hill on the morning of September 11th.
    c. About 25 percent of the report of the Congressional Joint Inquiry was redacted, including long passages regarding how the attack (or the network allegedly behind it) was financed. Graham later said foreign allies were involved in financing the alleged terror network, but that this would only come out in 30 years.

    21) Unanswered Questions and the "Final Fraud" of the 9/11 Commission:
    a. The September 11th families who fought for and gained an independent investigation (the 9/11 Commission) posed 400-plus questions, which the 9/11 Commission adopted as its roadmap. The vast majority of these questions were completely ignored in the Commission hearings and the final report.
    b. The membership and staff of the 9/11 Commission displayed awesome conflicts of interest. The families called for the resignation of Executive Director Philip Zelikow, a Bush administration member and close associate of "star witness" Condoleezza Rice, and were snubbed. Commission member Max Cleland resigned, condemning the entire exercise as a "scam" and "whitewash."
    c.The 9/11 Commission Report is notable mainly for its obvious omissions, distortions and outright falsehoods - ignoring anything incompatible with the official story, banishing the issues to footnotes, and even dismissing the still-unresolved question of who financed 9/11 as being "of little practical significance."

    22) Crown Witnesses Held at Undisclosed Locations
    The alleged masterminds of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed (KSM) and Ramzi Binalshibh, are reported to have been captured in 2002 and 2003, although one Pakistani newspaper said KSM was killed in an attempted capture. They have been held at undisclosed locations and their supposed testimonies, as provided in transcript form by the government, form much of the basis for The 9/11 Commission Report (although the Commission's request to see them in person was denied). After holding them for years, why doesn't the government produce these men and put them to trial?

    23) Spitzer Redux
    a. Eliot Spitzer, attorney general of New York State, snubbed pleas by New York citizens to open 9/11 as a criminal case (Justicefor911.org).
    b. Spitzer also refused to allow his employee, former 9/11 Commission staff member Dietrich Snell, to testify to the Congress about his (Snell's) role in keeping "Able Danger" entirely out of The 9/11 Commission Report.

    24) NIST Omissions
    After the destruction of the WTC structural steel, the official Twin Towers collapse investigation was left with almost no forensic evidence, and thus could only provide dubious computer models of ultimately unprovable hypotheses. It failed to even test for the possibility of explosives. (Why not clear this up?)

    25) Radio Silence
    The 9/11 Commission and NIST both allowed the continuing cover-up of how Motorola's faulty radios, purchased by the Giuliani administration, caused firefighter deaths at the WTC - once again showing the expendability, even of the first responders.

    26) The Legal Catch-22
    a. Hush Money - Accepting victims' compensation barred September 11th families from pursuing discovery through litigation.
    b. Judge Hallerstein - Those who refused compensation to pursue litigation and discovery had their cases consolidated under the same judge (and as a rule dismissed).

    27) Saudi Connections
    a. The 9/11 investigations made light of the "Bin Ladin Airlift" during the no-fly period, and ignored the long-standing Bush family business ties to the Bin Ladin family fortune. (A company in which both families held interests, the Carlyle Group, was holding its annual meeting on September 11th, with George Bush Sr., James Baker, and two brothers of Osama Bin Ladin in attendance.)
    b. The issue of Ptech.

    28) Media Blackout of Prominent Doubters
    The official story has been questioned and many of the above points were raised by members of the US Congress, retired high-ranking officers of the US military, the three leading third-party candidates for President in the 2004 election, a member of the 9/11 Commission who resigned in protest, a former high-ranking adviser to the George W. Bush administration, former ministers to the German, British and Canadian governments, the commander-in-chief of the Russian air force, 100 luminaries who signed the "9/11 Truth Statement," and the presidents of Iran and Venezuela. Not all of these people agree fully with each other, but all would normally be considered newsworthy. Why has the corporate-owned US mass media remained silent about these statements, granting due coverage only to the comments of actor Charlie Sheen?


    GEOPOLITICS, TIMING AND POSSIBLE MOTIVES

    29) "The Great Game"
    The Afghanistan invasion was ready for Bush's go-ahead on September 9, 2001, with US and UK force deployments to the region already in place or underway. This followed the failure earlier that year of backdoor diplomacy with the Taliban (including payments of $125 million in US government aid to Afghanistan), in an attempt to secure a unity government for that country as a prerequisite to a Central Asian pipeline deal.

    30) The Need for a "New Pearl Harbor"
    Principals in US foreign policy under the current Bush administration (including Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle and others) have been instrumental in developing long-running plans for worldwide military hegemony, including an invasion of the Middle East, dating back to the Ford, Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations. They reiterated these plans in the late 1990s as members of the "Project for a New American Century," and stated a clear intent to invade Iraq for the purpose of "regime change." After 9/11, they lost no time in their attempt to tie Iraq to the attacks.

    31) Perpetual "War on Terror"
    9/11 is supposed to provide carte-blanche for an open-ended, global and perpetual "War on Terror," against any enemy, foreign or domestic, that the executive branch chooses to designate, and regardless of whether evidence exists to actually connect these enemies to 9/11.

    32) Attacking the Constitution
    a. The USA PATRIOT Act was written before 9/11, Homeland Security and the "Shadow Government" were developed long before 9/11, and plans for rounding up dissidents as a means for suppressing civil disturbance have been in the works for decades.
    b. 9/11 was used as the pretext to create a new, extra-constitutional executive authority to declare anyone an "enemy combatant" (including American citizens), to detain persons indefinitely without habeas corpus, and to "render" such persons to secret prisons where torture is practiced.

    33) Legal Trillions
    9/11 triggers a predictable shift of public spending to war, and boosts public and private spending in the "new" New Economy of "Homeland Security," biometrics, universal surveillance, prisons, civil defense, secured enclaves, security, etc.

    34) Plundered Trillions?
    On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced a "war on waste" after an internal audit found that the Pentagon was "missing" 2.3 trillion dollars in unaccounted assets. On September 11th, this was as good as forgotten.

    35) Did 9/11 prevent a stock market crash?
    Did anyone benefit from the destruction of the Securities and Exchange Commission offices at WTC 7, and the resultant crippling of hundreds of fraud investigations?

    36) Resource Wars
    a. What was discussed in the Energy Task Force meetings under Dick Cheney in 2001? Why is the documentation of these meetings still being suppressed?
    b. Is Peak Oil a motive for 9/11 as inside job?

    37) The "Little Game"
    Why was the WTC privatized just before its destruction?


    HISTORY

    38) "Al-CIA-da?"
    The longstanding relationship between US intelligence networks and radical Islamists, including the network surrounding Osama Bin Ladin. (See also point 13d.)

    39) Historical Precedents for "Synthetic Terror"
    a. In the past many states, including the US government, have sponsored attacks on their own people, fabricated the "cause for war," created (and armed) their own enemies of convenience, and sacrificed their own citizens for "reasons of state."
    b. Was 9/11 an update of the Pentagon-approved "Project Northwoods" plan for conducting self-inflicted, false-flag terror attacks in the United States, and blaming them on a foreign enemy?

    40) Secret Government
    a. The record of criminality and sponsorship of coups around the world by the covert networks based within the US intelligence complex.
    b. Specifically also: The evidence of crime by Bush administration principals and their associates, from October Surprise to Iran-Contra and the S&L plunder to PNAC, Enron/Halliburton and beyond.

    The best thing about...

    by docpazuzu

    ...people like zfisk/homewrecker and brokedickcowboy is that the more you keep them talking, the more their masks begins to slip and what was once concealed beneath becomes evident. When it comes to both of these freaks, the longer an argument progresses the more they begin to make blanket statements about people they previously claimed not to be prejudiced against, in this case Jews. Not only that, but they label EVERYONE they're arguing against as Jews, implying that their ethnic/religious makeup is a detrimental quality which by definition makes them evil. Brokedickcowboy also refused to address one single point in my post where I demolished his claims, nor did he answer the question as to whether HE (not the Palestinians) supported Israel's right to exist in the Middle East. As for his claims of fucking Jewish girls in the ass, well, it's either a lie blatantly used to shock opposing talkbackers (good luck with that) or he really does prefer yentas for that particular practice. So, he's either an insecure virgin with an overriding desire for anal sex in general, or he habitually indulges in hate-fucking, much like German neo-nazi leader Michael Kuhnen who in 1991 died of AIDS contracted from having sex with little boys in Algeria.

    Don't Jews sleep?

    by brokebackcowboy

    Or do they spend all night discussing M. Night Shymalan and Batman Begins? Anyway, I already answered Doc's questions long ago in greater detail - but here is the short answer. Do I support Israel's right to exist? Stupid question to begin with, because it's not a question ordinary people ever think about. Yes, but its existence has to be ratified by the majority of the Palestinians within the context of a negotiation of the establishment of a viable Palestinian nation. Until that happens, the Palestinians will continue to defend themselves from this genocidal treatment of their people. How could they not - they are human beings, no matter what the right-wing Israelis do or say about them. If they do broker a treaty and solution, part of it has to include a formal apology for the genocide as well as reparations to the Palestinians. Israel would be fortunate to escape a war crimes tribunal. The goal is to restore the welfare and dignity of the Palestinians, and then Israelis can live in peace. And yes, I have dated many Jewish girls. They prefer guys who are not so neurotic and overbearing. And you should picture me at seders too - I've been to quite a few.

Do you think there's any difference between your hate-filled rantings against the Lebanese and those Hitler spouted against the Jews? You're talking about extermination and genocide of HUMAN BEINGS. Are you saying you could cheerfully walk up to a Lebanese child and shoot him in the head? Because, if that's so, then you're saying here, aloud in text, that jews can be just as cruel, soulless and evil as everyone else, and you're actually justifying and perpetuating the anti-Semitism that is running rampant again across the globe. I simply cannot believe AICN TalkBackers can breed this kind of disgusting, racist, murderous thinking. We're supposed to be geeks and fanboys, not goose-stepping, mob-joining Nazi thugs!!

    A general trend of pessimism...

    by doctorwho?

    You got it right Mr. Gaius. If not a hatred of the West, certainly a pessimism. A pessimism that eventually ends up in paralysis. Because every decision you can think of leads to outright defeat. So there's no sense in trying and it's perhaps best we stop doing anything and it'll all be over because it's probably our fault anyway. That pessimism is what bothers me most about the West. That we've lost our sense of confidence in our culture. I mean, when you actually have a trend that says dissent is MORE patriotic than assent, you have a culture that may not be equiped for the long hard fight..Which incase you haven't been paying attention, is exactly what the West has on it's hands.

    Changes do and will occur over time. Not much anyone can do about that. However, to blame oneself (or some sort of all-powerful cabal) and no longer hold any individual or group accountable for their OWN actions leads to paralysis (as you've so put it.) And dissent is great. But dissent is the first stage of recognizing a problem or trend. There is another step that comes after that though, it's called: "What are you gonna do about it?". Folks like zfisk don't care for that stage. That means they would actually have to do something meaningful. They're more content with lobbing their self-righteousness at everyone in order to justify their views and feelings about the world.

There, too, the pretext was provided by a guerrilla action, in which an Israeli soldier was captured. The Israeli government used the opportunity to carry out a plan prepared long before: to break the Palestinians' will to resist and to destroy the newly elected Palestinian government, dominated by Hamas.

This is just one example of the Zionist movements' collaboration with Hitler for the purpose of possibly receiving jurisdiction over a minute piece of earth, Palestine ..." So when I call certain people ZioNazis, it's not a silly insult. It is being accurate. Zionists not only commit genocide like their Nazi counterparts, but they also betray their own Jewish brothers and sisters. That is why Yizhak Rabin, the moderate PM, was assassinated. They are psychotic.

    9/11 and the Neo-con Zionist connection

    by brokebackcowboy

    How did 9/11 help Israel? That is more a valid and relevant question to Americans than some schmuck asking me "Do you support Israel's right to exist". Well, the Neocons (Cheney was a member, and it was he who was in charge of selecting the VP position, and he chose himself, then brought in Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, et al) had grand plans that hinged on what they called "a catalytic event such as a new Pearl Harbor" to get the American people to support their agenda. That agenda being? The invasion of Iraq. They thought if America would occupy Iraq, it would create a sandwich effect on Syria (which lies b/w Israel and Iraq), make America a buffer between Israel and Iran, and put pressure on the entire Middle East. The goal of that agenda? To give Israel security by using American force in the region. That is why Israeli soldiers were present at Abu Ghraib, according to the testimony of America soldiers ... they were training them on methods of torture. And why would Bush and non-Neocons go along with it? Because it had the bonus of giving them control over the oil resources in Iraq. L. Paul Bremer basically privatized the entire Iraqi oil industry, handing control over to the highest bidders. The perfect convergence of factors led to the tragedy of 9/11: Bush taking the WH, Cheney and the Neo-cons putting themselves in power (because none of the neo-cons were ever elected into any office) so they can execute their agenda. Anyone supporting them is either Anti-American or an Israeli puppet.

And the holocaust issue has been used for the last 50 years as a smokescreen to cover up the Zionists' attempted extermination of the Palestinians. Give 'em an A for effort, they really are trying harder than the Nazis did.

    You're right -- the question of Israel's right to exist or the truth of the Holocaust is not as relevant as how it's answered by people like you. See, I have no problem criticizing many Israeli policies and I fully support the Palestinians' claim to a nation of their own. I don't need to preface either opinion with a "why, that's an odd/irrelevant question". You and your cohorts either ignore the question or hem and haw endlessly before answering it because, let's be honest here, you don't actually support Israel's right to exist. That being the case, there is simply NOTHING Israel can do which would appease you. You view the nation as an abomination, an "illegal" entity, which should be eradicated. But, at the same time you whine and moan about Israel's "genocide" and its unwillingness to negotiate with certain organizations. The latter is the most blatant example of your hypocrisy. "Israel must be destroyed! But first they must show themselves willing to negotiate!" Kiss my ass.

    I didn't claim it. Rabbi Gedalya Liebermann researched and examined it. You should read about it at jewsagainstzionism.com before you knock it. You might even see the light. I can see why you're pissed off about my "whining abount genocide". Because Palestinian lives are worth nothing to people like you and you'd rather everyone just look away while Israel has their way with them. That ain't gonna happen, friend.

    The question American Jews must answer

    by brokebackcowboy

    DocPazuzu, I've had many conversations with friends and acquaintances who are Israeli immigrants. They moved here, wanted to settle here, because they did not feel safe in Israel and disagreed with their country's actions. The question for you is this. There is no denying the link between the Neocon Zionists in the Bush Administration and the destruction they have wrought on our country. As an American Jew, you need to come up with an answer to the main question and then act accordingly. Are you an American first, or an Israeli-supporter first? If you're an American, then you need to question the Neocon links and protest their effect on our country. If your primary allegiance is to Israel, then you need to go there and get your hands dirty too. Otherwise you're a hypocrite.

    The subject of Israel divides Jews alike

    by brokebackcowboy

    I've been witness to some fairly harsh arguments between liberal Israelis and right-wing Jews. As a Gentile, it was very illuminating. Of course I sided with the liberals. The thing about it is, is that no rational Jew can reconcile Israel's actions with their own religious teachings about pacifism. This is why they are all torn up about it and it's sad. It is sad to see good-hearted Jewish people being called self-haters (you could read the media when Munich came out - even the Steven Speilberg was not immune to these dirty attacks on his character).

That horseshit about North Korea, Cuba and the Soviet Union being merely "totalitarian dictatorships" (without the "leftist" in them) is no better than when right-wing assholes claim that Nazis and fascists aren't right-wing totalitarians. The reasoning behind your attempts to remove any type of leftist connotations from said dictatorships is so that you can promote policies which would REPLICATE those societies' very same policies. It's like when you use words like "genocide" and "ZioNazis" -- it's all about robbing terms of their original meaning or at the very least watering them down to a point where you yourself can employ actions which the words initially described with less fear of repercussions. It's a classic fascist and communist tactic.

    Your use of the term "genocide" is a case of classic totalitarian wearing down of terminology. You seek to rob the word of its original meaning so that its implementation (on people you don't mind it happening to) will be easier in the future. When any type of death can be equated with the premeditated and state-sponsored murder of every man, woman and child of a particular race or nationality, then the particular heinousness of the latter is easier to disguise and relativize.

    ...as you well know, the two soldiers were merely the straw that broke the camel's back. When Israel pulled out of Lebanon in 2000, it was on the condition that the Lebanese government send its army south to neutralize Hezbollah. This was part of a treaty. However, the Lebanese government never lived up to its part of the bargain, and subsequently Israel has endured rocket attacks from Hezbollah more and more frequently for six years. But this is actually irrelevant to our discusssion since you believe Israel should be destroyed no matter what. In fact, even if Hezbollah militiamen came across the border and ate Israeli babies alive by the hundreds, you'd STILL find a way to deny Israel its right to strike back. As it is, tinfoil-hatter websites have already popped up claiming that Israel PLANNED the kidnapping of their own troops as a fake reason for war.

Israel must stop its explicit policy of ethnic cleansing. Yes, Israel could wipe out the Palestinians in 48 to 72 hours, but that's bad PR, and Israel is all about the PR ... but genocide can be carried out in the way Israel knows best. Through slow, torturous sanctions and incremental mass murders. Israel must stop this insanity, negotiate with the Palestinians as true equals, treat them with respect and dignity, pay reparations and issue a formal apology to them, and they can have last peace. Sounds like a good plan - what do you think? Too much for you to stomach?

Or am I a 'nazi' for suggesting that Israel's army and government are acting a little, ahem, fascist?

    It is downright barbarism. Dear heaven, I have been reading the defense of Israel by those who would defend any act of barbarism on the internet. They are as irrational as George Bush in his invasion of Iraq on lies.

    Killing little children seems to be overlooked by many of the seemingly intelligent defenders of Israel's "right to defend itself"

    Right it is defending itself by killing one third of the population who are merely little innocent children who never understood why they were bleeding to death.

    Nevermind this crap of "defending itself" and justifying thuis slaughter. It is all bull crap when supporters are supposedly "embarrassed" by the slaughter and not outraged.

    Three soldiers were CAPTURED in a military objective. Children are being slaughtered because the Israeli military could not prevent a GADDAM CAPTURE."

One can write the Great American Novel on toilet paper - it doesn't have to be done on an iMac. Anyway, you're NOT anti-semitic when you criticize Israel. Nor are you a zionist when you criticize Syria and Saudi Arabia. You are just a reasonable, thinking person. It's admirable. Just ignore the labels and speak your mind. I've been called an uncountable number of names here, from anti-semite to a sleazeball Hezbollah supporter. I just laugh, because the last thing some people just get their panties in a knot when their smokescreen gets ionized by me. I am the Sharper Image Ionic Breeze (TM) and they are pollution.

    The Controlled Demolition of The WTC

    by alexjones

    Doesn't anyone find in odd that jet fuel is a hydro-carbon (kerosene) with a maximum burning temperature of 1600 degrees f (and that's if there is a constant fuel source), and steel doesn't begin to melt until 2500 degrees f (doesn't begin to lose it's stuctural integrity until well over the flashpoint of jet fuel). Hmmmmm. And what about the head architect of the WTC who designed the buildings to withstand multiple jumbo jet hits akin to a "pencil through a mosquito net." And how can the building fall at near free-fall speed (i.e. terminal velocity) if one floor continually pancaked on the floors benith it (government explanation). Oh yeah, why did building 7 collapse. And why did Larry Silverstien say on the record that there was a decision to "pull" the building. For those who don't know Larry Silverstien was the benificiary of the 3 billion dollar insurance policy taken out on the WTC weeks before the attacks.

    Yes that is odd. Also odd is how the Bush Administration ordered the complete removal of all WTC wreckage before the search for bodies was completed, and the destruction that wreckage without letting any forensic scientists examine it. They couldn't let them discover any evidence of the kind of planned destruction you cited in your post. I also find it odd that there is no evidence of an actual plane hitting the Pentagon. I can just picture Bush addressing the AIPAC convention ... "You're doing a heckuva job, Zionists!"

    Anchorite - You stink of Verbal Diarrhea

    by brokebackcowboy

    Your half-hearted criticism of Israel is a prime example of verbal diarrhea. Attacking Lebanon is bad because it's bad public relations? Not because it's wrong to kill innocent children (1/3 of all dead in Lebanon are children)? But the good thing coming out of this is it will teach the Lebanese to vote the way Israel will want them to vote? And hey, the Lebanese were given a good day's warning to abandon their lifelong homes and possessions so they could be destroyed, so that's fair. You must have some truly bad parents to be raised with such hatred for humanity. If I had a glove, sir, I would slap you for your insolence. You cad.

You see, even when Israel spends days selecting targets,times, procedures,taking into account the smallest collateral damage possible with hi tech systems, gps,and laser guided targeting...THEY STILL end up with civilian casualties. But Hezbollahs WHOLE INTENTION IS TO DO JUST THAT...KILL CIVILIANS. If you can't see the moral difference there(no matter how small),Than you are on the wrong side of history.

I'm an observant jew and a zionist, and many of the posts that I've skimmed thru over the last hour has made me feel sad over how intolerant some people are of others. When we today pride ourselves on being such open-minded people, the fact that some posters here think its okay to make sweeping, hurtful claims about Jews and Israelis and their conflict with both Palestinians and Lebanon has shown the complete opposite from those people.

    I'm not saying that Israel has been doing all the right moves in Lebanon, far from it in fact, as they probably could have prevented many more civilian deaths. And I

The razing and destroying of thousands of acres of their farmland so they are at the mercy of Israel for their own food. The bulldozing of their homes while they are sleeping in them. The herding of them into refugee camps and then bombing and shooting into those camps. The deaths of thousands of infants from the withholding of food and medicine. The killing of American peace-volunteer Rachel Corry by an Israeli soldier bullozing her to death. How about getting their Neocons to get us into Iraq to help secure Israel (do you think Israel would be bombarding Lebanon right now if the US weren't in Iraq?). America is now $300 Billion in the hole on this war, gas is $3.50 a gallon and what we need is to get the fuck out of the Middle East and send a fucking bill to Israel to pay for this mess. Yes, Israel has much to atone for. Now again, good night, Zionazi.

    by mr nice gaius

    Try this one brokeback: "I watched in horror as [Nasrallah's] maniacal speech unfolded in which Nasrallah actually threatened the Israelis with releasing chemical gas from local factories on civilians in Haifa. Despite fighting them for all those years, he clearly does not understand the Israelis' psyche or the trauma of the Holocaust. A threat like that. The Israelis don't like being caught in a quagmire any more than the next person, which is why Nasrallah could get them to leave southern Lebanon. But his victory appears to have given him megalomania, and he has now gone too far.

    Hizbullah's attacks on Israeli civilians are war crimes. The killing of the civilians in Haifa at the train station was a war crime. And threatening to release chemicals from factories on civilian populations is probably a war crime in itself, much less the doing of it.

    Obviously, I do not accept that Hizbullah's actions justify the wholesale indiscriminate destruction and slaughter in which the Israelis have been engaged against the Lebanese in general. But they do have every right to defend themselves against Nasrallah and his mad bombers,". http://tinyurl.com/s7wu4 -- Like many others, Juan is a self-righteous fucktard who commands respect because of his "educated" and "unorthodox/contrarian" views. But like Chomsky, he will often resort to conspiracy tactics whenever faced with a well informed, well spoken opposition.

But when it comes to people like Brokeback, and zfisk or what ever his name is (guys, have names that are pronouncible) then it's ideas of diplomacy, cease fires, talks, agreements. But when it comes to people like you Doc, it's all about Israels right to defend itself. What, by wiping out entire city areas and displacing half a million people. What good is that for anyone? Do you not see that it's the rest of the world that must then come to the aid of these displaced people. it's the rest of the world that must come and clean up all the blood and the shit that is left behind in the ruins. Do you think all these people are troddling in whistling to themselves as they say "Well fuck, these cunts brought it on themselves. Hey Israel, can you stop shooting for a second while we clean this up. just for a few weeks then you can get right back into it. ta." What the fuck guys? hey? When the war stretches out to areas a little closer to home, will you still be sitting pretty on how the agressors 'have their reasons'. For years now, it's been nothing but "Terrorism this, terrorism that. Weapons of mass distruction. lets save the world" But what do we get as an answer to these problems.... whole cities and countries being wiped off the map - all with the media presentation "Hey, we just killed 100 million terusts."

    You think those IDF pilots are just listening to their ipods and dropping bombs randomly?? They have specific targets and precision weaponry. Now, the problem is when you have Hezbollah hiding rockets and leadership in apartment buildings. My heart breaks for the familes who have to endure living in a country run by a terrorist army. They care not one whit for the people.

    Stop pretending to care about civilians as a general principle. The fact is you don't give two shits about Israeli civilians -- only the civilians whose fate promotes your own odious politics. The difference between Israel and Hezbollah, as if you didn't know, is that the former causes civilian death through collateral damage (look it up) whereas the latter targets civilians on purpose. Do you think that the Iranian or Syrian air force would even bother dropping leaflets warning Israeli civilians of impending air strikes? Of course you don't and that's the whole point. You hate Jews in general and Israelis in particular. You don't view them as human beings and you don't pity their deaths in the slightest. Again, you are the one who posted a link to A NEO-NAZI WEBSITE.

I'm not a republican, but if irrefutable evidence came out proving my mother was behind 9-11, I'd say she was evil, yes. And if Jesus had been behind it? Evil." ....... If so, you might have noticed that I prefaced it with certain doubts as to who the question was aimed at. And if so, one can't help but ponder the question: how many generations of vegemite-lubricated, outback inbreeding was needed to create a brain which "giggled for days on that" when presented with it? Just what are the depths of your stupidity anyway?

    by mechasheeva

    but I've read it and you guys have a good debate going on here. I haven't however, seen anyone mention the piss-poor coverage the Israel-Lebanon "conflict" has gotten in the media. Israel has essentially destroyed any arteries out of the country. All the major airports and major bridges have been bombed. People are afraid to try to leave major cities as the roads and bridges are still being bombed. People from other countries, Americans too, are trapped in Lebanon by the Israeli attacks. Even if you want to say Israel has a right to defend itself or whatever, this is absolute overkill. This is not retaliation, it is the wholesale destruction of a nation, and it is wrong.

    by mr nice gaius

    I do believe Israel has a right to defend itself but this incursion is backfiring. I have serious doubts that they will have made any real progress in terms of crippling Hezbollah. However, with that being said, this series of events may bring about an unexpected diplomatic/political discourse as it is revealing all the regional players and what their true motivations may possibly be. As for the media, there was quite a bit of coverage this weekend on the BBC and CNN (!) detailing ALL that you have mentioned above as well as pieces on the Lebanon death toll and how villagers (with the help of the Lebanese army) are having to dispose of their dead. The media is IN there, they are trying to show the Lebanese side. I think after Katrina, there is a shared view among members of the US media that they need to be aggressive and on the scene. But let's not forget the alterna-media: the internet. You can find whatever you want to see or believe...

    But this has been going on longer than just this past weekend, mind you. After so long it becomes impossible to ignore. And Gaius, I agree entirely with your first sentence in that post, however I would tack on that this is overkill. Not just overkill, but outright terrorism, in fact. If you have an entire civilian population too frightened to even attempt leaving the major cities to escape the major strikes, I don't see what else it can be called.

    I agree that Israel's using overkill in certain parts of Lebanon. I support their right to defend themselves against Hezbollah and think they should pound them into submission in southern Lebanon, but I think the strikes in other parts of the country have been excessive and unnecessary. A few symbolic and surgical strikes in other parts of Lebanon would have been enough to show them Israel means business this time, while concentrating their efforts on the militia in the south.

    I want to address your question "Would we in the US do that?" It's already been answered pretty emphatically in Iraq, where insurgent factions hide among the civilian population much like in Lebanon. And while I disagree strongly with the initial decision to invade Iraq, and the method of fighting terrorists there to be slow to the point of being nearly entirely ineffectual, I would much rather see Israel use their ground troops to weed out the factions rather than see the wholesale destruction of the civilian infrastructure of the country. In a recent quote from the leader of Israeli forces he said he expects the ground war to be over "within 10 days". This doesn't give me great hope that Israel will be improving their methods to something more humane. This is about as ugly a situation as has come out of the Middle East.

    Hmm . . . yeah you're right here. I was being an idealist, it's true. I'm not certain how Hezbollah operates within Lebanon, but being closely affiliated with the government I'm sure Israeli forces wouldn't be fighting a door to door war to bring down a loosely organized, ragtag group of extremists. Hezbollah is more organized than that. But you're right, in a perfect world the Lebanese government would denounce Hezbollah, free those captured soldiers, and go about weeding out the terrorists on their own. Unfortunately Lebanese leaders recently stated that Hezbollah wasn't giving up and that that battle, for the Lebanese, was just beginning. The one bright spot I've found in all of this is that Condeleeza Rice recently visited Lebanon to talk about aid to the civilians and whatnot, showing a remarkable support for a sworn enemy of that Israel country we're supposed to support. It shows that maybe this'll be one quagmire we can stay out of.

    "Hezbollah envoy: War on Israel to widen By BRIAN MURPHY, Associated Press Writer
    Mon Jul 24, 8:45 AM ET

    TEHRAN, Iran - Hezbollah's representative in Iran struck a defiant tone Monday, warning that his Islamic militant group plans to widen its attacks on Israel until "no place" is safe for Israelis.

    Hossein Safiadeen also reinforced earlier threats by Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah to widen the scope of attacks, which have included unprecedented missile strikes deep into northern Israel.

    "We are going to make Israel not safe for Israelis. There will be no place they are safe," Safiadeen told a conference that included the Tehran-based representative of the Palestinian group Hamas and the ambassadors from Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinian Authority.

    "You will see a new Middle East in the way of Hezbollah and Islam, not in the way of Rice and Israel."...

    Safiadeen told The Associated Press he "had no news" about Syria considering withdrawing its support for Hezbollah, which touched off the crisis July 12 with a cross-border raid that captured two Israeli soldiers.

    "We will expand attacks," he said. "The people who came to Israel, (they) moved there to live, not to die. If we continue to attack, they will leave."

    Israel claims Iran has supplied Hezbollah with long-range missiles, which have hit the port of Haifa and other places. Iran denies the charges but does not hide its high-level support for Hezbollah.

    "This war will be remembered as the beginning of the end for Israel," Safiadeen said.

    The policy Hezbollah and the terrorist proxies (Al-Qaida, etc.) use is to move in and then dhimmitze the population through violence and intimidation. Moderate Muslims will not take up arms and resist the terrorists, nor will dhimmitized Christians. That is why the Lebanese won't fight back. And that's why they'll be killed.

    I understand completely the rationale behind the destruction of the airports and railways. What I consider to be overkill is the destruction of major bridges in the country. With all three major lines of transportation down, and most citizens too terrfied to try to cross any remaining bridges, the thousands and thousands of displaces refugees have nowhere to go and were forced to stay in the warzones for far longer than they should have, resulting in more civilian casualties. Not to mention the fact that foreigners in the country when the attacks started were also stuck for awhile.
    I'm not the praying type, but if I were I'd be praying for the Lebanese, whose country has been hijacked by terrorists. And I'd be praying for the Israelis, whose government has put them at the mercy of madmen, as described in m2298's post.

    Alas, it takes two to hold a real conversation. When one attempts to discuss issues or seeks to disprove or support claims, it helps if the other person actually acknowledges what's being said and replies to it. When nutballs drop blanket statements and/or post links to extremist web sites, my first impulse is to ignore them, but then I think if I can engage them in debates, I can prove the inanity of their arguments for the benefit of casual readers who actually might be on the fence. At times it's a sisyphian task since the fruitcakes rarely put their convictions to the test. I have no trouble with people who don't agree with me -- anchorite and I rarely agree on anything, for example, but he's not a fanatic and can discuss politics coherently even if he often is misguided... ;) As for the loonies, sometimes a heartfelt "you fucktard" is enough to warm the cockles of my heart.

    Ever wonder why Rumsfeld used mostly National Guard

    by brokebackcowboy

    troops in Iraq? Because Iraq was only the beginning, and he used those men and women, put them in harm's way when they were not trained, prepared nor supplied for such a conflict. Thousands of Americans now dead, and tens of thousands of them maimed for life. Rumsfeld was saving the rest of the armed forces for the greater conflict, one that was predicted by Seymour Hersh (who has sources in the Pentagon) last year, and that is now being initiated by Israel with its its attack on Lebanon. They are starting a war with Iran and Syria. For the first time since WWII, nuclear weapons will be used against Iran, once Israel is able to draw Iran and Syria into Lebanon when it starts a full-scale ground invasion. This has already started. Now our troops in Iraq, who are being attacked daily and are dangerously intermingled with resentful Iraqis, will be at risk of being targeted, full-scale, by Arabs. See this article for more, and if you have any sense of humanity, pray this does not happen. No one will win. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14176.htm

    I know something about these Neturei Karta guys. While anti-Zionism is one legitimate opinion among orthodox Jews, the NKrakpots have taken their beliefs to the point of pathological obsession. And it's one thing to feel for Palestinians, Lebanese, etc. However, listen to some of the wonderful folks NK has supported: Syrian dictator Bashir Assad, Louis Farrakhan, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian theocracy, and last but not least the Barnes Review which is run by Willis Carto, the intellectual godfather of the Americal Holocaust denial movement. For these activities, Neturei Karta has been excommunicated by mainstream ultraorthodox groups (including some anti-Zionist ones). For someone who likes dating Jewish women and attending their religious functions, you owe it to yourself to actually find out something about Jews, and not rely on extremist websites.

    Wait, just because I'm an orthodox jew and a zionist, why does that make you automatically assume that I hate arabs? I have no problems with any Arabs, whether they are Palestinean, Lebanese, or anyone else, unless they are part of the small group that wants to directly harm others. I will however acknowledge that there is some definite problems amongst the people I am friendly with when it comes to accepting regular arabs as people. It's shameful, but at least I'm happy that I myself don't feel this way.

    I have never had my posts 'remixed' and compiled before. I don't see the need for it, since anyone can CTRL-F my name and read everything I wrote verbatim, and in context, but still it's very flattering. Now, if I were to quote everything hateful written about me and other Liberals here, I'd have to search on Anchorite, DocPazuzu, Mr. Nice Gaius, Doctor Who - all the Zionazis who are so scared of their smokescreen being ionized. And who has time for that? As for your compilation, I stand by everything I said, down to the word. I can summarize those posts into 2 categories: anything I said about Israel is true because they have been, and are, killing innocent people. Anything about banging your sister, that was because you (or Yackbacker, who cares) called me a Hezbollah/Hamas supporter. You can call me a conspiracy theorist, racist, anti-semite, a true wacko, Jew-hater, Liberal, or just call me Shirley. And don't think I don't know that your appeal to "fair-minded readers" was an attempt to hide my links to some very informative (to you, they may be 'hateful')articles ... so here it is again. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0724-02.htm http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14176.htm

    I'm heartened that you don't hate Arabs (you can hate a handful of people because they do bad things, but hating a race is psychotic - hear that, Zionazis?). But when you say, "I will however acknowledge that there is some definite problems amongst the people I am friendly with when it comes to accepting regular arabs as people.", I think that is sad. Why would you want to go through life with friends like that? Look, I have Jewish friends, including Israeli emigrants, who abhor what is being done in their name. Defending your country/nation does not give license and reason to harm others indiscriminately. And people like DocPazuzu, Anchorite ... that's what they believe. Anybody can twist religious teachings and teach hate instead of love. Christian, Jewish and Muslim radical leaders do this. But if there was no one standing between a person and his Bible, Torah or Koran, what teachings would that person learn? If you know the answer to that, then you will see my point.

    Proof!

    by docpazuzu

    After months of analyzing NASA's photos at the sub-terranean Antarctic labs of the German Roehmian Foundation, Professor Zebulon H.W. Fiskowitz has uncovered incontrovertable proof of the Pazuzian Conspiracy. Fiskowitz's shocking finds shed new, insidious light on this secret gay/Jewish plot to achieve world supremacy through the impersonation of online film geeks. "Yes, by employing a scientific method of my own design, known as "fabrication", I have been able to trace the roots of the Pazuzian Conspiracy to ancient -- indeed prehistoric -- times. Its octopus-like tentacles have left its imprint as far away as our nearest celestial neigbors. As our telescopes continue to advance technologically, I fully expect to find traces of the evil worship of demon lords The PaZooZoo, as well as his fellow anti-deity Jabootu, all throughout our galaxy and beyond," stated Fiskowitz.......... http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m279/DocPazuzu/proof.jpg

Even though I believe that the Palestinians have a claim to their lands, I don't advocate the dissolution of Israel. What I have said, and which Anchorite conveniently omitted in his abridged compilation of my posts, is that I support the mediation between the Israelis and the Palestinians, to negotiate the establishment of a viable Palestine, to make the proper amends to the Palestinians. If this is done, without any smokescreens and provocation by the right-wing Israelis to incite animosity and sabotage negotiations, then peace will ensue. For Israel, Palestine, and everyone else.

You're entitled to your antizionism, but you seem fixated on right-wing, Likud 'neocon' Zionists. Where does that leave Defense Minister Amir Peretz (current head of Israeli Labor Party), Shimon Peres (vice premier, former head of Labor Party)? In fact the Likud (or what's left of it after the Kadima defections and losing most of it's seats in the last election) isn't even in the current government! At the moment even Meretz leader Yossi Beilin supports defeating Hezbollah, so apparently the only Israelis you would support are the extreme leftists who have demonstrated against the operation and your expat friends.

    Nice Gaius, I'm sorry you are offended by being called a Zionazi. Really, it's a shame because I'd rather you were not one. The reason I call you one is because, from the very beginning of this TB, you have consistently denigrated all the people putting forth information about 9/11 and their doubts about the official story. I don't have to cite your posts, it's all there. Stupid attacks, dumb insults, and all working in conjuction with the other Zionazis. You did this even though the information they put forth gave reasonable doubts to the official story. As a true American, it is your duty to seek the truth, especially in matters like this. That is the reason I call you a Zionazi, because you would rather be a traitor to your nation. I hope that answers your question. Regards.

As for your line of insults and attacks against people like Boast (remember him?), it was needless. Just because you have already convinced yourself that there was no conspiracy on 9/11 doesn't give you the right to sabotage this Talkback for other people, who want to share and learn. You could have debated, or you could have stayed out of it. But no, you resorted to infantile insults.

The fact that it was only a matter of time before someone entered this TB providing random theories and links to every consiracty site was only a matter of time. And like I said way up above, it's been done before, debated before, and debated BETTER by many others. And nowhere in here have I expressed that I'm convinced there was not a 9/11 conspiracy. I'm certainly not convinced that there was. (I'll bet you didn't know that the 9/11 Truth Movement has some issues with the views expressed on these boards because they don't coincide with their own. Agendas. Everyone has got one.) Anyway, I don't believe I've ever "sabotaged" a TalkBack in my life. (Though I certainly would have liked to destroy a few.) In fact, I've only ever tried to steer them towards rationality and common ground. So, if you have to call me a "Zionazi" because I called someone else a cunt (or some such word), may I remind us both that we are on the AICN TalkBack message boards and that you loosen your sphincter. And if you haven't noticed my "personal animosity towards zfisk', I must not be doing a very good job...

    Your post unintentionally points out the problem with Israeli politics. I know that Peretz is Labor, and now, the defense minister. But you probably know that Israeli politics is among the dirtiest around. When Ariel Sharon, who was a hero of the right, was seen giving any land to the Palestinians, he was relentlessly attacked. His negotiations with Mahmoud Abbas, which could have achieved at least a step towards peace, was, in the eyes of the right, a betrayal and led to Kadima's defection and the fall of the Likud party. Who knows who sent those soldiers into a situation where they could be kidnapped? They were made bait, and Hezbollah took it. Now Olmert and Peretz have to prove themselves by being as vicious (or in the mind, 'decisive') as possible against Hezbollah, even at the expense of Lebanon's innocent people. It's insanity. The right-wingers planned this scenario, and they are playing it. In Israel, it doesn't matter who is PM. The Zionists determine the action.

    Of course Hezbollah was wrong to kidnap those soldiers. And I do oppose many of Hezbollah's tactics - the killing of innocent civilians their most egregious of crimes. But since when did Israeli soldiers ever get put in a position where they could be so easily attacked and kidnapped? They were bait, put there for a reason ... to initiate a plan that was devised last year. See my post above about this. So I do agree that Hezbollah is completely in the wrong. However, Israel has historically shown great skill at inciting Hezbollah when they feel the need to restart violence in order to sabotage negotiations. Like I said, the Zionists want nothing but eternal conflict, to kill off the Palestinians through attrition and slow, methodical genocide.

The reason why they are so vicious towards you is because Israel's behavior is, ultimately, indefensible. So in order to attempt to defend her, they have to resort to name-calling. Because there is no argument to be found. Sad, don't you think?

    See you guys tonight. Just want to repost this earlier post because it's quite relevant to the day's events: Ever wonder why Rumsfeld used mostly National Guard troops in Iraq? Because Iraq was only the beginning, and he used those men and women, put them in harm's way when they were not trained, prepared nor supplied for such a conflict. Thousands of Americans now dead, and tens of thousands of them maimed for life. Rumsfeld was saving the rest of the armed forces for the greater conflict, one that was predicted by Seymour Hersh (who has sources in the Pentagon) last year, and that is now being initiated by Israel with its its attack on Lebanon. They are starting a war with Iran and Syria. For the first time since WWII, nuclear weapons will be used against Iran, once Israel is able to draw Iran and Syria into Lebanon when it starts a full-scale ground invasion. This has already started. Now our troops in Iraq, who are being attacked daily and are dangerously intermingled with resentful Iraqis, will be at risk of being targeted, full-scale, by Arabs.

    The "Zionists" determining the action right now are not any more "right wing" than the majority of the Israeli public. So which "right winger" in Israel colluded with Rumsfeld et al and "planned" for the soldiers to be kidnapped? Sharon? Netanyahu? Mossad 'black ops' agents? Please elaborate.

They were bait, put there for a reason ... to initiate a plan that was devised last year." -- Ha! I hope you know that I know that this is utter shite. Put there for bait? Not hardly. And you have no proof of that whatsoever. You won't find it on TruthOut, Commondreams (which I do read btw), or even InfoWars. Did Israel have a contingency Hezbollah attack plan already in the pipeline? I'd be willing to say, "Hell yeah they did". And I'd also be willing to bet that it's older than a year. I'm afraid that's what war planners do. Like the US: we've got war plans for EVERYBODY. Doesn't mean we intend to use them.

I was just being a bit sarcastic about the usual anti-neocon paranoia. If Sharon HAD made the peace deal, do you think Iran, Syria and Hezbollah would have laid down their arms? Abbas can't even control the Hamas-led government and prevent missile attacks from Gaza into Israel.

    Anyway, so Bibi (and unidentified others) cooked up this plan at an AIPAC convention and everyone elase in the Israeli government is still in the dark?

    There is no doubt you felt worse than I do about Sharon, but regardless of his past crimes (shooting and bombing innocent people is never a pardonable offense, you would agree), his attempt at striking an accord would have, in the greater scheme of things, been a start towards reconciliation. It could have prevented more bloodshed. It would have been worth a try. One can imagine the progress that could be made if Hamas and the Right-Wing Zionists stay out of it, but unfortunately they are integral to the process. Their hard-line tactics are, to say the least, disruptive. But this in no way excuses what Israel has done - from a human rights standpoint - to the Palestinians and innocent bystanders (like Rachel Corry). Murder, plain and simple.

    That's a question that was posed on the BBC News interview with an Israeli spokesman this morning. Israel denies that the bombing of the UN HQ was a mistake, but the interviewer pointed out that the installation had been there for 20 years. And since Israel is so careful with its surgically accurate targeting systems, there is little question that it was intentional. Their excuse was they had left Lebanon in 2000 but the UN station was clearly marked, had sustained contact with Israel about its location since the bombing started, and again, was known to Israel from way back. Now what would it accomplish? Israel, despite proclaiming the opposite just yesterday, does not want UN interference in its plans. It wants free rein to level Lebanon. Any UN intervention is seen as enabling Hezbollah to continute arming itself. So innocent people be damned, in this operation. And with John Bolten (also a PNAC member) now the still un-confirmed US Ambassador to the UN, one can deduce that he sanctioned the strike.

    by doctorwho?

    From CBC Radio: Canadian retired major general discussing the death of a Canandian peacekeeper, one of four killed at the UN outpost whom he knew: " We recieved emails from him a few days ago, and he was describing the fact that he was taking fire within, in one case, three meters of his position for tactical neccessity not being targeted. Now, that's veiled speech in the military. What he was telling me was Hezbollah "soldiers" were all over his position and the IDF were targeting them. And that's a favorite trick by people who don't have representation in the UN. They use the UN as shields knowing that they can't be punished." What a shocker!!!!

    I had already said as much in earlier posts, about the need for mediation to establish peace and nation for the Palestinians, but you willfully chose to ignore them. Whatever. And I had already said that the a successful mediation with the Palestinians would weaken the motivation for any external Arab hostility against Israel. But Israel continues to slaughter the Palestinians. I suggest you watch 3 films back-to-back. Munich, and pay attention to the scenes where Avner talks to the Palestinian in the stairwell, and the scene where he talks to his mother. You remind me of Avner's mother; you don't see what you don't want to see. And watch Paradise Now. You may begin to understand the Palestinians a little better, and their motivations. Arabs may arm the bomber, but Israel creates the man. Don't worry though; it won an Oscar so it's kosher. And watch Arna's children, a gut-wrenching doc that shows how Israel - and not Palestinian fathers and mothers as DoctorWho claims - have guided Palestinian children towards a path of violence.

Talk about bad karmic repurcussions. I don't care what anybody evr did to me OR my country OR my relatives...I would never ever send my child to butcher themselves. It's grotesque beyond measure.

    Yes, the world changed a lot in 2000 years. However, the people who would become the first modern Israelis and Palestinians began arriving in the area in large numbers at roughly the same time during the British mandate. Prior to that, most of Palestine was occupied by bedouin tribes who still live in Israel today with no problem. So, BOTH peoples have legitimate claims to the area which is why a two-state solution is the best option.

    by brokebackcowboy

    I think it is impossible to reason with any of you from a human rights standpoint because the core of your thinking lies in a fascist mentality. You think some Israeli children writing hate messages on missles that will kill dozens or even hundreds of people in a matter of hours has less of a "karmic repercussion" than a suicide bomber? You think that demonizing and subjugating a whole populace of Palestinians is okay, that committing genocide is alright? As for saying that I am "repeating old tired claims", I am humored because the only old tired claims I ever hear are from Zionazis whose every argument starts with the cliche' "Israel has a right to defend itself". Anchorite, I take back my suggestion to you - don't watch those films. I don't think your brain is capable of processing their messages. Just stick with Delta Force or True Lies.

    Anchorite - You are the Mother Of All Idiots

    by brokebackcowboy

    Let's not go all pseudo-pious about Israel. It does not care about how many civilians they kill to get a single terrorist. If they have to slaughter a family of 15, bomb their house into oblivion with their flesh torn to pieces, men, women, young and old, just on the mere suspicion that a terrorist is hiding in their backyard, they do it. So in that scenario, they are "not specifically trying to kill the civilian populace". But that's just a technicality. On the other hand, razing their farms so they cannot eat and preventing medicines from reaching the ill, that's just another method of murder. As for who was in Palestine first, let's not haul in more shit into the room. The Palestinians were indeed there first - they were betrayed by the Balfour Declaration when, even after a massive wave of Jewish immigration into Palestine, they STILL COMPRISED 90% of the populace. Do the math, idiot. Basically, the Zionists and the British punked King Faisal and the Palestinians were condemned to expulsion or genocide.

    Good post. The Left also sees the Right as wrong - and pretty much dangerously wrong, too. Because the Right shows a great tendency towards destructive behavior. From everything from civil liberties, the environment, human rights, war and violence, corporate malfeasance, exploitation of the masses, the deliberate disintegration of our government and rule of law, and so on, the Right's attitude ranges from cavalier to apocalyptically destructive (and I'm not even exaggerating). I honestly believe that you understand the prime motivation on the Left to be compassion, and sometimes we are blinded by it. But there are some issues - like advocating state-sanctioned murder - that calls for an outspoken denouncement, and for telling the truth. Some on the Right can't handle the truth. There are those on the Right who exhibit confoundingly psychotic behavior, like Ann Coulter, whom I mentioned. Anyone who can call the widows of the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack "whores", "gold-diggers" and "witches" is psychotic - and that is being kind. In fact, she's a traitorous cunt whose allegiance to American ideals is completely in a void. And there are other right-wingers, who have so much contempt for the Left that they would rather blather about like the Dittoheads (or Medheads) they are instead of trying to speak like a normal human being when confronted with important issues that need a sound resolution. A scan of Anchorite and Yackbacker's early posts in this TB provides a good example.

Some on the left are ok with innocents living under murderous regimes...as long as "stability" and the "status quo" isn't upset. And so on...You say the right ranges from "cavalier to apocalyptically destructive"...you see, no middle ground with you. Why wouldn't you reserve "apocalyptically destructive" for someone like Ahmadinejad who said " GOD WILLING, WITH THE FORCE OF GOD BEHIND IT, WE SHALL SOON EXPERIENCE A WORLD WITHOUT THE UNITED STATES...THIS GOAL IS ATTAINABLE AND CAN SURELY BE ACHIEVED."

    re the nature of war

    by docpazuzu

    Unfortunately, technology hasn't (nor will it ever) reach a point where civilian casualties are entirely avoidable, so when someone attacks the very idea of collateral damage, they are logically in fact denouncing warfare of any kind for any reason. However, such is rarely the case with those howling the loudest about collateral damage. In brokedick's case, it serves a very specific political purpose: robbing western liberal democracies with market economies of their right to defend themselves. I would have much less problem with someone who professes outrage and horror over civilian deaths vis-a-vis the Middle East and criticizes the non-Israeli players equally (or at all, for that matter) since that speaks for the person's true humanitarian convictions. People like brokdick (and GingerTwit & zfisk/homewrecker), though, really have no problem with the deliberate targeting of civilians as long as those civilians are the citizens of said western liberal democracies with market economies. The killers can openly espouse the most anti-humanistic, anti-progressive, anti-female, anti-gay, anti-democratic, anti-pluralistic, anti-intellectual, pro-apocalyptic totalitarian, racist, oppressive views and goals imaginable, but to brokedick this is of less importance than the fact that these "heroes" are sticking it to the opponents of such ideologies/theologies. It's hypocrisy on a staggering scale yet insidious in its focused purpose. The accidental or inadvertent death of civilians is portrayed as worse than the deliberate murder of civilians with the help of verbal and semantic acrobatics which would have made Goebbels and Stalin proud. If we're to discuss an industrial/post-industrial nation's true indifference to civilian deaths, we need look no further than Russia's war in Chechnya. While I rejoice in the death of scum like the recent offed Shamil Basayev, there is still no excuse for how the Russian troops are conducting their war. However, the reason we don't hear brokedick & Co screaming about that war and the atrocities committed by the Russian troops is that they simply don't give a shit since Russia by all accounts ISN'T a western liberal democracy. The openness of western democracies appeals to the innate intellectual laziness of brokedick because all the mechanisms conducive to making one's voice heard without repercussions are in place. You never see them in the activist avant-garde protesting the actions of dictatorships or totalitarian organizations. To this they would reply "well, the West IS dictatorial!", which, besides being utter tripe, doesn't explain why they don't protest nearly as much the countries/organizations who are more conventionally labeled as totalitarian. It's shameless hypocrisy, nothing more.

When you demonstrate some "middle ground", it'll be self-evident, but so far you haven't. And since you want to conveniently discount what I said earlier about radicals of all stripes, I'll repeat it for your benefit. I despise radicals of all kinds - including Arab, Zionist and Western radicals. Very little separates the likes of Bush, Rumsfeld and Ahmadinejad.

The Right had no qualms about exploiting the grief of those individuals along with the world's when it was helpful to them, but when they demand an investigation into the circumstances that caused their loved ones' deaths, they get savagely attacked? I don't presume to be disgusted too much by it, because nothing, no matter how low, the Right does surprises me. And just like a good Zionazi, you have to echo the same slander at them that Fox already has. Let's assume for a moment that their assumptions are correct. That 9/11 was purposely allowed to happen. That the Iraq War was planned long ago, and all that was needed was a reason like 9/11. What would you say to that?

The United States has plans for every conceivable wartime situation involving every nation on Earth, including Iraq. None of this proves that either Pearl Harbor or 9-11 were orchestrated in order to facilitate war. In your mind it's as convenient to use a nation's contingency plans for war as damning evidence as it is to equate zionism (the support for a Jewish state in the Middle East) with nazism.

    "huge talkback war of attrition on the horizon"

    by 'cholera's ghost

    A Navy SEAL instructor once stood on the beach, gazing steadily out to sea before his recruits. After a long period of silence he turned to the men and he asked them: "Do you know what I'm looking for?" No one answered. The instructor looked back out to the dark waters, breathing in the air from the ocean breeze. "I'm looking for a war," he said. Oh...oh my. It's the kind of thing that brings a tear to my eye, and makes me wax a bit poetic. Remember the Great Kong War that lasted a full six months or more before the movie came out, with the rise of His Travesty, Ringbearer9 the Hater King and his horde of minions requiring the efforts of AICNs mightiest heroes to challenge his brutal invasion of AICN's peaceable and loving kingdom? (of course you do) Well these 9/11 TB Wars are all that and more. I like to think of the Great Kong War as something like the Trojan War, with mighty iconic champions locked in pitched battle against each other, and there is something about the epic grandeur of those fevered battles that is utterly sublime (for a talkback on AICN). But these 9/11 tb's are so much more intense. The individualistic feats of those mighty warriors of old are not gone, but here it is much more like WWI trench warfare, with conspiracies and prejudices filling the air like nerve gas, where the Heroes of AICN find themselves surrounded by and pinned down by the barbed wire of ignorance and undiscriminating fire from machine guns of clumsy hypocrisy. Fear not, for the tanks of truth shall prevail, crushing all opposition through the brute force of Reason! Not as elegant as the tactics of the Great Kong War, but a sure path to victory.

Anyway, enough talk of the Kong War--old wounds and all that. I need to focus on the upcoming battles, with my popcorn fresh and ready, because I, like any self-respecting Neconzionazi, find war entertaining in the extreme.

Brace yourself instead for the onslaught ahead, of which Ringy will surely be a part. Excelsior!

    The Kong Wars vs the WTC wars. Actually, I think the kong wars were so much more fun to read. Plus i was able to chime in there, whereas here, I'm not to sure exactly what the argument is. For all the shit Ringbearer9 got for his Kong trashing, lets understand that the test of time has proven that Crazy toad absolutely correct. I say this because I just so happen to be taking a break from watching King kong right now. I've been watching it ALL DAY and Kong has only just made his first appearance. The film is trash. It was when it came out. It was obvious it would be when the release campaign was in full swing (for those 6 months prior) But those where some good talkbacks. And in the end, I did buy a copy of the DVD. From a bargain bin. for the kids. Hey, the production diaries are now $2. Thats a big drop from $60. I still couldn't justify the cost to shell out for it. Coffee? KK Production Diary? Coffee?? KK Production diary?? It was a great coffee!

    The beauty of those Kong TBs was not really about how "Kong" turned out. It was more about watching Ringy go apeshit (pun intended) over Peter Jackson's cinematic vision: from his apparent misunderstanding of the LOTR story, to how dirty and disheveled the characters were. From the "re-usage" of the Black Gate for the wall on Skull Island, to Jackson's boring choices of color for sunsets and fire. It was truly an amazing display of PJ hate.

    L.A. 9/11 Truth Symposium on C-SPAN today.

    by boast

    Just a heads up...

    Cspan's schedule now confirms that the L.A. panel discussion on 9/11 will be broadcast Saturday night at 8 p.m. EST. This is the main CSpan channel, not book tv or another, less-viewed, channel (even David Ray Griffin's talk wasn't broadcast on the main CSpan channel).

    Webster Tarpley has this message to the 9/11 truth movement (via email):......

    Dear Friends --

    The Sunday panel discussion from the Alex Jones Los Angeles conference will reportedly be telecast on C-SPAN this coming Saturday evening at 8pm and 11pm eastern time.

    This discussion includes Alex Jones, Professor Steven Jones, Col. Robert Bowman, Professor James Fetrzer, and myself.

    The mere fact that it has been scheduled pays tribute to the growing strength of our 9/11 truth movement.

    I urge you to build the maximum audience for this important event, which represents our best opportunity of counteracting the escalation of the Middle East and North Korean crises towards thermonuclear World War III, by means a strong dose of 9/11 truth.

    I call upon each of you to put aside other considerations for the next 48 hours and to mobilize all available forces to make this a turning point in world history. Let it be seen by 100,000,000 Americans, and we can turn the world back from the brink of the abyss.

    Webster G. Tarpley".........


    Let's rally behind Webster's call to maximize viewership. This airs 5pm-8pm on the west coast.

    by 'cholera's ghost

    In this particular talkback, it does appear you're the John Wayne (or Achilles, take your pick) of Conspiromongers: Anti-Zionazi Force. But I wish to draw the analogy in more general terms, however, as a veteran of other WTC Talkback Tours of Duty, which have given me a wide perspective on this conflict and its unspeakable horrors. I've seen a lot of action in my time. Maybe not as much as the highly decorated MNG, anchorite, homewrecker, or others. Certainly not as much as the Alvin C. York of AICN--DocPazuzu. But enough to know that you have a lot more arguing to do before you replace other relentless soldiers as AICN WTC Wars All-Time Champion Conspiro-Monger. If that be your desire, or if you are just looking to engage in a more focused campaign within the wider conflict, then good luck on the field of battle. A word of advice: Try to leave the moon's gravity out of it. They dropped that Bomb back in the early campaign. Were you there? I remember it well. It was a crisp day in November, we were on patrol in the north of the latest WTC Talkback, MNG just hooked us up with some smokes he won off some PFC in a poker match with another regiment, and then suddenly the carefully crafted weapon of the Conspiromonger Mad-asshat-ten Project backfired in their own territory igniting a flash that could be seen for months, and they are still trying to rebuild their credulity from the ashes. Unfortunately the fallout isn't going away anytime soon.

    Dr. James Fetzer brought up one of the single best facts regarding 9/11. It was about the Zacharias Moussaoui trial when the prosecution played the CVR recordings from flt. 93. In the last minutes of the recording, before United flt. 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field, a passenger is heard urging others to help storm the cockpit and take on the hijackers because "if we don't we die,". Now the problem with this is there is NO WAY this could've been captured on the CVR. A CVR is a COCKPIT voice recorder. COCKPIT, not passenger voice recorder. I'm not making this up.

    by mr nice gaius

    was all over the place. Steve Jones, the gentleman discussing the molten metal, may have been the only one with anything interesting to offer. I'm not sure exactly how involved the 9/11 Truth Movement was with that conference. It seemed more like a commercial for InfoWars and Alex Jones's ego. The main thesis of the evening seemed to be that 9/11 was carried out by a secret "black-ops" or a "shadow government" group. This group basically held President Bush and the existing government hostage (if you will) by threatening to launch a nuclear assault across the globe unless he agreed with their plans (i.e. 9/11). Now, I don't know what the main body of the 9/11 Truth Movement thinks about some of these folks, but if they are going to make a serious concerted effort to put forth their theory, they are going to have to get their story and their shit straight.

    What do you think angers the Arabs more? American Idol or AIPAC's influence on American politicians and business interests? Let's try an experiment.

How about plant every NeoConservative Dick Cheney could find and put them in the White House, and take all the hopes of a new millenium and shit them all down the sewer called "The Plan For A Secure Israel". And let's use the poll's results and draw a national consensus on whether we should continue to support Israel. Because there never was a consensus by the people. America has been "Israel's only ally" by the grace of Washington payola. The people of America never agreed to support Israel. The American people never agreed to link our destiny with that of Israel. What do you think, virgin man?

There may indeed be indiscrepancies among people who are investigating and theorizing about the events of 9/11, but the official story has far more. And the circumstances of the Bush Administration's actions and intent, especially those revealed by former insiders like Paul O'Neill and Richard Clarke, bring to light the intent they had to push for war and a greater conflict as plotted by the NeoConservatives.

    Intermission Time for the Zionazi Swill

    by brokebackcowboy

    I hope Israel's 48-hour suspension of air strikes wasn't too much of a disappointment to you armchair war-mongering Zionazis. After all, 37 children all killed in one building is too much even for their propaganists to spin (Fox News reports the incident as a "terrible blow to public opinion"). But not to worry, they'll surely come up with some good fabrication about how one of the dead mothers was a third cousin of a suspected Hezbollah member, and since they shared a kiddie table when they were 8 years old, she was a legitimate target. The carnage should resume on Tuesday for your viewing pleasure.

    I appreciate your geek-intense metaphors comparing this to other TB wars but I don't see it as anything more than some heated debate. Sometimes overheated, but if you look at the early days of this TB, you'll see who fired the first, most vicious shots at some decent people. And those little Zionazi pussy traitors to America have gone AWOL a long, long time ago. If one were to view this as a 'war' (and I really don't, because that would be depleting the meaning of that word), then Anchorite's confession that he listens to a HOMOSEXUAL ZIONIST radio host (alone in his car, windows darkened) and DoctorWho's reference to KNEEPADS when talking about REAMING are the most gruesome instances of self-inflicted injuries I have ever seen. Certainly more damaging than anything said about the moon's gravity. I hope you're a more worthy opponent and won't follow in their footsteps.

    Man, it must really burn your ass that I watched that 9/11 Conference, huh? Well, I'll say it again since you obviously weren't paying attention earlier, I've participated in these types of TBs for quite sometime now. At this point, it's pretty much old hat. I do my own research and I ask my own questions. And reading up on or watching those folks (i.e. the Conference) is all part of the game. But the overall theory (as I detailed in my previous post) borders something along the lines of the Da Vinci Code - there are gaps in the official story, so they choose to fill those gaps with paranoid conjecture. Like I said before, they need to get their shit straight. -- Now, you can continue to lump me in with the other guys on this board and label us under whatever insulting moniker you choose. But I suggest you start paying a little closer attention to the hypocrisy of your remarks. Otherwise, you're just jamming up my bandwidth.

    As I said in my earlier post, I thought it was great you watched the conference. Whatever you choose to believe afterwards is your prerogative. But I'll say this - there is more than enough proof of a conspiracy than some are willing to admit, because admitting it would be detrmental to their agendas. Never mind that over 3,000 Americans were murdered. To bicker over discrepancies in the little details, that's a smokescreening of the circumstances and facts at large. An investigation into the facts of 9/11 is hardly comparable to the Da Vinci Code. That's another one of your attempts to belittle the debate, and it's not even a good one. As for labeling people with insulting monikers, I'll defer to others here who are far more proficient at it than I. People who spend their sad, pathetic lives trying furiously to 'own' others on a message board like it's their fucking livelihood (that's for you, DocPaz).

    Actually, the conspiracy of 9/11 is very comparable to the Da Vinci Code. I've watched the story "grow in the telling". Over time, it's grown bigger and bigger and more outlandish. The fact that there are divisions within the Truth Movement says as much. I would hardly call that an attempt to belittle the debate. In fact, it calls for a more cohesive argument that does a better job of contesting the 9/11 Commission Report. (Again you seem to be jumping the gun regarding the intent of my statements.) Now, I have no doubt that there are certain cover-ups taking place. I also believe, in certain instances, that there are legitimate reasons for this. But that's neither here nor there. The point is brokebackcowboy, don't be too quick to judge someone or what they think because they weren't "nice" to someone else on this board who shares your same view. You have said much, much worse to many more folks than anything I ever directed towards boast (zfisk is and will remain my one exception).

    ...is that they virtually never are neutral despite professing that very thing. It's the same thing with Holocaust deniers and others of that ilk. You scratch a bit on the surface and you find right-wing or left-wing extremism every single time. It's THIS which fuels their campaigning, not the search for "truth". They seek to cast just enough doubt on official stories so that their particular political movement will gain a foothold and some momentum. Same thing with "scientists" who support creationism; show me one single case where such an individual isn't affiliated with one religious movement or another. Or scientists who deny the cancer-causing qualities of cigarettes -- how many of them AREN'T employed by big tobacco? This is the difference between someone like Childe Roland who claims to not have enough information to know for sure one way or the other, and the conspiratards who have a very specific extremist agenda in place. Learn the difference and bear it in mind when dealing with these "truth-seekers".

    all over the place at the symposium is, and I think Lt Col. Robert Bowman said it best, "the only TRUTH we know about 9/11 is that we don't KNOW the truth". Dr. Steven Jones was the best presenter of the night. I believe his scientific research regarding the traces of thermate on the steel samples from the WTC buildings will be one of the major reasons 9/11 Truth will break mainstream. I believe we have a limited amount of time before the M.E. crisis escalates beyond the point of no return. I plead anyone/everyone who is on the fence about 9/11 to do your own research on the omissions and distortions of the 9/11 Comission Report. I know for a fact that the only thing that most 9/11 Truthers want is new and real independant 9/11 investigation. We are running out of time folks. Most of you know this administration lied about WMDs in Iraq, lied about New Orleans' levees, distorted and line vetoed enviromental reports...what makes you think they are telling us the truth about the events 9/11?

    Since you were unable to discern my opinions on that matter earlier, let me state them again reeeeaaaalll slowly for you. I think it's absolutely horrible what's happening to the civilians in Lebanon. In every war there is collateral damage, some more than others. If you think ANY amount of collateral damage is unacceptable, then you are against any type of war -- including wars of defense. While I disagree with some of the strategies in this particular case -- especially acting on what at this point seems to be faulty intelligence regarding yesterday's horrible deaths -- there is still an enormous difference between Israel and Hezbollah. You won't see Israelis rejoicing in the streets over the deaths of all those children, whereas if Hezbollah had scored such a hit on Israel, they would celebate the deaths of the children as legitimate targets. This is a distinction you don't give a shit about, of course. Where is your indignation over Russia's war in Chechnya? How about Darfur? Somalia? Or Congo-Kinshasa? You're a fucking hypocrite (besides being an idiot) since the only deaths you care about are those ACCIDENTAL civilian deaths caused by western liberal democracies. The INTENTIONAL killing of civilians at the hands of totalitarian states or organizations is a much lesser crime in your eyes. Since you think Israel should be wiped out, it doesn't bug you in the slightest that Hezbollah spent the last six years lobbing rockets into Israel virtually unopposed despite the Lebanese government's promise to get Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon after Israel's withdrawal in 2000. This is why you are a fucking tool, GingerTwit.

    Well, your quote asking "what the fuck Israel has ever done for us?" reveals your self serving criteria as to why we should help anyobody. Ever. If you saw a women being mugged/raped would you help? I assume you'd shrug it off..."after all...bitch never did anything for me." Assbag! Let's take Taiwan. They have no oil, no natural resources. Still, we've always defended their right to exist independent of China. We do it because it's right. Who lead the way in charity and emergency aid when the tsunami hit?: The US...overwhelmingly! In fact, the big,evil,imperial military was the first to help Indonesia and Sri Lanka. What the hell have they EVER done for us? But now to ISRAEL. Allow me to school your ass: We stand for Israel because it is the ONLY bastion of liberal democratic freedom amidst a sea of dictators and oppresive.tryanical ideologies. EXAMPLES: Number of Jewish countries: 1

    Number of Jewish democracies: 1

    Number of Arab countries: 19

    Number of Arab democracies: 0

    Number of Christian or Jewish prayer services allowed in Saudi Arabia: 0

    Number of Muslim prayer services allowed in Israel: unlimited

    Number of Arabs Israel allows to live in Arab settlements in Israel: 1,250,000

That is infiniely more than any Hizbollah terrorist would ever feel. Understand, this considered a PR victory by Hizbollah. They weep for the children, point and cry "murderes!". Yet what about the Israeli grandmother and her grandson killed by a rocket as they sat in their kitchen? THAT WAS INTENTIONALLY RANDOM! No leaflets dropped. No warnings 5 days prior to get the hell out. But that's okay...the Jews must die right.

    I just saw your post quoting some self-loathing Jew stating there is a distinction in their mind between Zionism and Judaism. Now I'm not Jewish...don't really know jack about it...but I'm lucky enough to know a wise man who is an expert on this stuff. To boil it down to it's essence...Jews are a people and not only a religion.
    When people isolate the ONE Jewish state in the world for sanctions and delegitimizing, they are doing so because it is the Jewish state. And that, quite simply, is why anti-Zionism is simply another form of Jew-hatred. When anti-Israel Muslim students demonstrate on campus chanting, "Yes to Judaism, No to Zionism," they are inventing a new Judaism out of their hatred for Israel. It would be as if anti-Muslims marched around chanting, "Yes to Allah, No to the Quran." Just as Allah, Muhammad and the Quran are inextricable components of Islam, so God, Torah and Israel are of Judaism. Wouln't you feel much better if there weren't so many informed posters here to own your ass on any given day?

If you think Russia, the Congo, or Somalia had anything to do with 9/11, then please share your theories. Otherwise you're just blowing smoke as usual. As for Israelis not rejoicing at the deaths of innocent people, you must not be watching the right parades. Not all Israelis support the violence, and not all Arabs support it either.

In which case you need to be discussing something else, maybe the proper use of kneepads. Because that scumbag is only perpetuating myths. Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. One is a racist political movement, the other a religion. It's like saying the Aryan Nation, who consider themselves true Christians, is integral to Christianity. Get it, kneepad-wearer? And you compared the combinaton of Allah, Muhammed and the Koran to that of God, Torah and Israel. You must not be able to answer the first question of an IQ test.

I think you're doing a disservice to women by this comparison. Wait a sec ... a victim of a mugging has something stolen from them. And hold that phone ... a rape victim has their person violated in the most horrible and detestable ways, with grave intent by the perpetrator. Maybe you're talking about the Palestinians. As for Israel being a "bastion of liberal democratic freedom", I'm sure South Africa was too in your demented brain.

    My point about the leaflets is this: giving a warning to hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate in 2 days, but will target them unless they have a specific type of vehicle, is tantamount to giving no warning at all. It was essentially a move to manipulate public opinion. And the terrorists are as despicable in their methods. I agree that it is a very depressing state of affairs, and appreciate your honesty. I don't believe that the Middle East is unsolvable - I think in the final analysis, the vast majority of people want a lasting peace. No majority of people want perpetual war. Only a few fanatics. But it's a shame because they're the ones with the trigger fingers on the button. Not everyone can argue about the subject endlessly, but it - along with subjects like global warming - are affecting humankind in such drastic ways that I feel we should make our best effort to solve those problems. A TB might not be the best forum to do so, but to not say anything at all, to me, is more depressing.

    Some warning is still better than no warning at all. The reason the Middle East is unfathomable is as you say- only a handful of fanatics have their finger on the button. The key word being "Fanatics"- as in people that you can't reason with. They want nothing more than an absolute surrender and a conversion for the entire world to hard core sharia law islam- something I find repugnant.

    Israel has more nuclear capability than Europe...So? What does that imply? And Israelis killing "millions" of Palestinians? Sources please. And the example of the the woman being mugged/raped was to illustrate your lack of compassion to injustice, NOT a metaphor for Israel. Now, the very fact that you could not read that (it was very clear) and not grasp it the first time shows me your lack of cognitive ability. This pattern of wild misinterpretation on your part is now becoming tiresome. I grow weary of having to take you by the hand and clarify points that were very clearly written in the first place. Your tone is shrill and emotional, lacking any cool, reasoned analysis. Your hysteria and hatred of Jews is made clear by your ignorance of what Zion is. *sigh* Attempt to comprehend this simplified decription....READ SLOWLY: Imagine someone saying that he seeks the destruction of Italy because he regards Italian national identity as racist. Further, imagine that this person constantly denies being anti-Italian, because he does not hate all Italians, only Italy and all those who believe Italy should exist.
    Now substitute "Jewish" for "Italian" and "Israel" for "Italy" and you understand the absurdity of the argument that one can be anti-Zionist but not anti-Jewish.

    Among the many lies that permeate the modern world, none is greater -- or easier to refute -- than the claim that Zionism is not an integral part of Judaism or the claim that anti-Zionism is unrelated to antisemitism. And one last thing Judaism has always consisted of three components: God, Torah and Israel, roughly translated as faith, practice and PEOPLEHOOD. Your substitution of Moses for Israel is wrong.

But to address your comment about how Israel is the problem because other "sowed the seeds" of this conflict is lame.Virtually every country in the world was founded by displacing some of the people who had lived there, and many of those countries did far worse to far more people than Israel did! Therefore, anyone who calls only for Israel's destruction had better explain why, of all the states on earth whose founding was accompanied by the displacement of others, only the Jewish state is illegitimate.

    Take Pakistan, for example. Unlike the Jewish state of Israel, which had existed twice before in history, there was never a country called Pakistan, nor was there ever any other independent Muslim country in the part of India that was carved out to create Pakistan. Moreover, if the Jewish state of Israel is illegitimate because it created 700,000 Arab refugees, why isn't the Muslim state of Pakistan, which created more than eight million Hindu refugees, illegitimate? Where are the Hindu suicide bombers? What kind of values do you and brokeback have that would give a pass to suicide bombers killing innocents?

    "Zionism has nothing to do with Judaism. One is a racist political movement, the other a religion."

    Amongst Jews, only classical Reform theologians and some secularists claim that Judaism is a religion only. Even your Neturei Karta friends agree that the Jews are also a nation and religion; they despise modern Zionism because it presumptuously
    seeks to recreate the Jewish state in the Holy Land before the arrival of the Messiah. In any case, take a look at these Biblical citations: For thousands of years traditional Jews took them quite seriously. I don't expect non-Jews or non-religious individuals to feel the same way, but please don't misrepresent what the Torah says.
    Genesis 12:7, 13:13-17, 15:18, 17:8, 26:3, Exodus 3:8, 13:11, 23:31, 33:1-3, Numbers 34, Deuteronomy 1:8, 11:8-32, 26:15, 34:4; Joshua 1:1-6...and more (I haven't time right now to look up the rest). In any case, I seem to recall somewhere up at the beginning of this discussion that you have attended a Passover seder -- did they declare "Next year in Jerusalem!" at the conclusion?

    I love the truth, no matter where it leads.

That's a drag. But also factor in the aircraft carrier and air rescue sent down fo IMMEADIATE help(food supplies, air rescues, first aid supplies etc.) THAT COST BIG MONEY TOO. The CGD also noted that"...the United States was the most generous in terms of it's private giving." There's a lot of rich people in this country from Bil Gates, celebrities CEO's etc and people we'll never know of for whom dropping a million dollars is no big deal.

    "Next year in Jerusalem" was not meant for literal interpretation to mean the claim of that land at the expense / genocide of the people who occupied that land for thousands of years prior to Jewish immigration in the early part of the 20th century. Unless you willfully mean to interpret that in literal terms, but then anyone can use religion as an excuse for the killing of other peoples. In fact, a literal interpretation only dilutes the meaning of the saying, transforming the inherently good intentions to completely evil ones. I don't suppose anyone of decent morality in the modern age can excuse the killing of Jews in the Crusades. Neither should we allow the Zionist Jews to slaughter the Palestinians or the Lebanese. And I do have one differing point with Neturai Karta - I do not advocate the full dissolution of Israel as they do. As I said earlier, I support an end to the genocide of the Palestinian people and negotiations to establish a state for them. My stance on Anti-Zionism is not based on religious belief, but a moral and pragmatic one.

    Listen, you kneepad-wearer. You sought to position Israel as a victim. I told you, in so many words, that's bullshit. Do you get it? As for "illustrating my lack of compassion", I don't have compassion for people who send missles into refugee camps, bulldoze people's homes and kill masses of people through torturous methods. My cognitive ability is well intact because obviously I don't buy Israel's propaganda. And maybe you should read up on the origins of Zionism, because along with Judaism, you don't know jack about it other than what Alan Dershowitz is telling you. The original Zionists purposed the return of Jews to the land of Israel by fomenting hatred against Jews around the world. If you read the diaries of Theodor Herzl, father of the Zionist movement, you will see that his plans centered around the deliberate suffering of the Jews and inciting hatred and persecution of Jews to force them to move to Palestine. Modern-day Zionists have a different agenda, embodied in the NeoConservative movement. Having already established the state of Israel, the agenda is the preservation of Israel. As Benjamin Netayahu said on the day 9/11 occurred: "It's very good ... Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)". Is it any wonder then that the people who mostly loudly denounce 9/11 conspiracy theorists are also the most most strenuous defenders of Israel? Even here, on a TB. Judaism preaches that Jews be loyal to the country in which they live. A Zionist's loyalty lies with Israel, and not America. Zionism has been hotly debated in Jewish circles and many Jews oppose it on both religious and moral grounds. It is convenient for modern-day Zionists to equate Anti-Zionism to Anti-Semitism, but that's a ruse. Zionism is a separate racist movement that not only has nothing to do with Judaism as a religion. Its methods are completely antithetical to Jewish teachings. In fact, you yourself meant the reference to Israel as Peoplehood - not Statehood. Jews in the diaspora were taught to live in harmony with their countrymen, not betray them and their own teachings so they can commit and defend genocide. Or were they? You tell me. And you didn't answer my questions - should we call for consensus from all Americans to determine if we really are Israel's only ally? Because paid-off politicians don't count. If the American people said no, let Israel fend for itself, let's stop sending them billions of dollars every year, let's get out of Iraq so our soldiers can go home, what would you say? Whatever it is, it will show where your loyalty really lies.

    Then how do you know that "Next Year in Jerusalem" was not meant to be taken literally? Until the early 19th century ALL religious Jews believed that the Jewish Commonwealth in the Land of Israel would be restored in the messianic era. The Zionist twist was to take this (quite literal) yearning into the here and now arena of politics. You should also comment on all the Biblical citations I mentioned -- I suppose Jews don't take them "literally" either. I hate to break it to you, but traditional Judaism was and is not a Unitarianism-style universalist belief. Only recent manifestations such as Reform and 'Humanist' Judaism have made this claim.
    As for Theodore Herzel, I'm not an expert on his literary output. Could you quote in context how "his plans centered around the deliberate suffering of the Jews and inciting hatred and persecution of Jews to force them to move to Palestine." Herzel originally advocated the mass conversion of the Jews to Christianity until he witnessed the French anti-Semitism of the Dreyfus Affair in 1895. Believe me, Jews were suffering enough in Eastern Europe during the late ninteenth century courtesy of the anti-Semites who didn't need any "incitement" from Zionists.

    I have no doubt there are people who sincerely view Israel as an inherently good nation and cannot fathom 9/11 being allowed, and perhaps facilitated, to happen by way of conspiracy. To that I say: let there be a full-on, no-holds-barred investigation of 9/11. With all the wreckage evidence conveniently destroyed, forensic tests are impossible, but there are other ways. As to one's view of Israel, I can separate the people from the state. I've met many good Israeli expats who want nothing but to live peacefully wiht the Palestinians. As there are many Palestinians who would be grateful for an end to bloodshed. But they are all at the mercy of extremists on both sides who do not wish to relinquish an inch to the other. And both of those sides are savages.

    Also, which "Zionists" are you referring to? The Zionist movement has never been a homogeneous one, and most members genuinely felt they were helping their fellow Jews, not fiendishly taking over Palestine, whose Arab inhabitants they gave little thought to (and which wasn't a sovereign nation-state at the time anyway). Believe me, if I was a genocidical, racist exploiter, I'd set my sights on real estate more promising than a small (oil free) strip off the Mediterranean. If you would do some real historical research, instead of going to anti-Zionist websites you might discover that nothing is as black/white as you think.

    I have made it plainly clear throughout this TB that I see a distinction between Jews and Zionists, Judaism and Zionism. But if you cannot see the distinction, then you have much to learn. You cannot blend the two because, as I said before, the methods of Zionism are antithetical to the teachings of Judaism. And from a racial standpoint, the actions of Zionism are harmful to Jews at large. I, for one, admire the richness of Jewish culture and thought. I admire the charity and kindness of the Jewish people I know. I do not consider myself superior - no one is - to anyone because of their race or creed. You accused me of a superiority complex but is it not you who is guilty of such, when you can so easily dismiss the bombing of innocent people? How could the casual defense of such brutality not come from anything but a belief that those victims are of lesser value than you or your own people? Anchorite, you can be proud of your religion and heritage without supporting the apartheid and genocidal policies of Israel. And those policies and Israel's actions have done nothing but foment more hatred of Israel, and unfortunately, of Jews in general. After you read some of my quotes from the early Zionists, you may begin to see that that may even be the desired goal. You can support a peaceful mediation between Israel and Palestine without relinquishing your desire for a Jewish homeland. A safe and secure homeland need not be built upon the blood of innocents. You can be a proud Jew, supportive of his homeland, without sinking your identity into a Zionist construct. You do not have to subscribe to the mind-polluting rhetoric of mainstream Zionists, and think for yourself, using your religion and morals to guide you.

    I want to clarify something I said earlier - when I said "My stance on Anti-Zionism is not based on religious belief, but a moral and pragmatic one", I did not mean to infer that groups like Neturai Karta or any other practicing Jewish Anti-Zionists do not have a moral stance either. Far from being the case, they are tremendously sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians and Lebanese. They are completely selfless in their support of them. Now, here are those quotes. All the statements reflect the core of the true Zionist agenda - to bring all Jews to Palestine (Israel). Zionism does not seek to preserve the welfare of Jews in the diaspora, but rather requires that those Jews are encouraged or made to settle in Israel, and Anti-Semitism is its greatest tool. I won't even comment on them individually as they are self-explanatory: Theodor Herzl: "It is essential that the sufferings of Jews ... become worse ... this will assist in realization of our plans ... I have an excellent idea ... I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth ... The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews.

    Brokeback quotes

    by m2298

    I've been reading your quotes and googling them for context. Most seem to have been taken from jewsagainstzionism.com, which isn't exactly a neutral source. I will not comment on the Ben Gurion quote, until I see it in conrxt. However, let it be said that I am certainly no great fan of Ben Gurion or Weizman and most certainly not of Yitchack Gruenbaum (whose "cow" staement, BTW, I've never actually read in context, only in anti-Zionist polemics). In any event, none of the above show any Zionist *creation* of anti-semitism, only a misguided response to it. And frankly, one's support of a Jewish gogernment in Israel should have nothing to do with the faults of assorted politicians. As for the Herzl quote; I have again been unable to access any context and only see it cited in jewsagainstzionism and other fringe sites. However, I did find a good, objective article on Herzl at http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/journals/jss/jss5-3.html -- I'll quote from material relevent to Herzl's supposed "desire" for anti-semitism:

    "In his talks with [Tsarist minister] Plehve, Herzl transcended his personal feelings toward the minister (who was obviously not a friend of the Jews, though he maintained a diplomatic politesse throughout the interview), and together they agreed on the structural problems inherent in the existence of a large Jewish minority in the tsarist empire. Herzl reiterated his conviction that the status of the Jews in Russia posed a difficult dilemma for the Russian regime and might even in the end doom the very survival of tsarism. Plehve seemed to agree. On the one hand, he says, the government was ready to accept the Jews as equal subjects provided they integrate socially and linguistically into Russian society and get out of their communal and religious isolation. On the other hand, Plehve admitted that this would confront the government with another problem--the inundation of Russian gymnasiums and universities with Jewish students; it was this that led the authorities to impose a maximum quota on the number of Jewish students ("numerus clausus"). Otherwise, the Russian minister said, "we should soon run out of posts to give the Christians."52 But this, Herzl argued, pushes the Jews into revolutionary activity and causes further antisemitism as well as more government oppression.

    In a strange way, both agreed on the inherent dilemma, and Herzl rose to the occasion by not wasting time on condemning the antisemitic politics of the government (it would only elicit defensive responses) but challenging Plehve to suggest a way out. If Jews continued to feel discriminated against even if they joined the Russian cultural mainstream, then they would turn into revolutionaries and threaten the tsarist system; and if it would not be easy for them to emigrate because of the financial hardships involved and the beginning of anti-immigration laws (the British Aliens Law was passed at that time), then it should be in the interest of the Russian government to support a public effort at organized emigration--that is, Zionism. Herzl used similar arguments in previous talks with the Austrian prime minister von K

    immigration quotes

    by m2298

    "Of the two and a half million Jews seeking refuge from the Nazis between 1935 and 1943, less than 9% went to settle in Palestine. The vast majority, 75%, went to the Soviet Union."

    Could it be because Great Britain had effectively shut down all immigration into Palestine through it's White Paper of 1939? And if "75%" went to the USSR (I would like to know the source of this statistic) it probably involved Jews fleeing the German occupied portions of Poland and the Baltics after the onset of World War II. Immigration to the West and Palestine was blocked -- where else were they supposed to go? Once the war was over most of these individuals left the USSR if they could.

    As for later immigration to Israel, well Jews *do* have it better economically in North America and elsewhere and haven't been subject to ongoing threats of terrorism and the draft (many non-Jews ave also left their homes in the Middle East for similar reasons). Suprisingly however, there are still Jews who choose to immigrate to Israel in spite of this, even in the absence of any substantial anti-semitism.

    by docpazuzu

    Zionism simply means the supporting of the idea of a Jewish homeland in the Middle East. When people like brokedick, zfisk/homewrecker and GingerTwit use terms like "zionazi" and claim to distinguish between zionism and judaism, it is for one specific purpose: the undermining of Israel's right to exist. Of course there are Jews who don't support the existence of Israel, but they are an extreme minority of the world's Jews. What these dopes are doing is labeling the majority of the world's Jews as "zionazis". They do this while simultaneously denying the statistics of the Holocaust (or denying it completely) which is also an intrinsic part in an effort to 1) equate Jews en masse with an evil ideology/theology, and 2) use this as a tool to help abolish Israel. This is why even if Israel had never gone into Lebanon and had vacated all Palestinian territories, they would still be equating most of the world's Jews with nazis. See, most people can criticize Israeli policies but still support its right to exist. For these twats, on the other hand, criticizing its policies is important only in efforts to abolish the Jewish state. You never hear them say "I support Israel's right to exist BUT...etc etc..." This is because they DON'T, which means that NOTHING Israel could do, aside from national suicide, is good enough for them.

In fact, Mel should read it, it's clever. You could work for Icon Productions. I can't believe these Zionazis don't find it amusing. When did Jews lose their sense of humor? It really is the Apocalypse ...

    I know you have no recourse but to say that, but you should be aware of the pitfalls of using sexual innuendos - they are hazardous. Maybe you should stick with something you're experienced in ... perhaps auto-fellatio?

    Was just giving you advice, Doc. Websters is not a suitable reference guide for buttsex. Even I can't stand to see a Zionazi reel in humiliation of his own doing, at least in this matter.

    Just the fact that you claim to be neutral despite people such as zfisk/homewrecker linking to actual neo-nazis' websites to strengthen their arguments means that you're either a humungous idiot, unbelievably na

    Did you say something? Don't talk when you've got a mouthful of dingdong, or you'll dislocate your jaw. Your post was the biggest, most blatant white flag I have ever seen in a TB. DocSpaz ... he clearly lost all sense of composure and his legs gave out. And DocWho's stammering, stuttering limp post sealed the deal. Take that white flag, Medhead, and shove it up your ass.

    That's funny - you look like a gay donkey with that white flag sticking out of your ass and Medved's dingdong in your mouth. As for ZFisk, seeing as how he's got you Zionazis in a spastic frenzy, I'd say he's accomplishing his objectives pretty well. No help reequired.

    I reckon it's the same thing as when he claims to date Jewish girls all the time, followed by poorly disguised anti-semitic rants. Calling himself "brokebackcowboy" enables him to say "what do you mean I'm a homophobe -- look at my username!"

    Schonfeld book

    by m2298

    It's been a while since I've seen that book -- the first time was around 29 years ago. I've just taken another look at it, and basically all I can say is 1. It's primarily a polemic. It does bring some sources, but doesn't afford much context. As I mentioned earlier, I'm no fan of Weizmann, Ben Gurion, Stephen Wise and other Labor Zionist leaders of that ilk. Before throwing around the fire and brimestone I would first look at other sources dealing with attempted Holocaust rescue (http://tinyurl.com/ny3u4, http://tinyurl.com/mo2uf etc.) If you want an essay putting ultraorthodox holocaust literature in perspective see http://tinyurl.com/zhnpa). 2. Have you read the chapter on Ben Hecht and his book PERFIDY? Hecht was a Revisionist Zionist, a supporter of the Irgun forrunner of the Begin's Herut Party and the Likud. He wasn't against Zionism at all, just the establishment personalities and their policies. Of course you equate the Likud with 'neo-cons' and the Zionazi cabal, so something must be askew. 3. Rabbi Michael Ber Weissmandl was indeed an anti-Zionist (as was prevalent amongst Hungarian ultra-Orthodoxy), but much of his bitterness was due towards the leaders and their behavior. He saw nothing wring with collaberating with the Zionist Gisi Fleichmann and others in his various rescue attempts. For more info see http://tinyurl.com/f6zh5. Again, I'd like to remind you not to depend on polemics and furthermore to realize that Zionism as a belief need not be equated with various individuals. As for "facts" -- do you believe the "facts" at http://tinyurl.com/p6bmd? I doubt it, so why must anyone swallow any other websites "facts" whole?

    Anchorite, it's not only Arabs now

    by condomwrapper

    That want Israel wiped off the map, but Persians and others as well. Calling it tthe Arab-Israeli conflict really isn't accurate, it's more the Muslim-Israeli or Muslim-Jewish conflict. The world would sell out Israel in a second if they had the opportunity. Fucking Europe and it's anti-Semitism sickens me, they should know better. They're not all brainwashed, ignorant Muslims like most of the Arabs are. Even in the UK anti-Semitism is on the rise. Flame away fuckers.

    Israel should wake up.

    by slimby

    Hey Johnny-boy. Proud European here, and proud of the Jewish lineage in my country too (UK). Not much anti-semitism around me right now. But that's irrelevant. This is about Isreal's total lack of understanding in how to deal with an escalation of violence without putting innocents, both Arab and Israeli, at risk. At the moment they're just stirring the pot for more bloodshed, rather than setting an example to the admittedly equally bloody-handed Arabs in how to remain peacable. Get with the solution talk. With your attidude you're just spitting ludicrous strereotypes. Please stop and read a little.
