The Democrats are as bad as the Republicans, they just cover their tracks better than the Republicans. They don't want to change the way America is trying to control the world, they just want to do it a little more "quietly". They bow and scrape to the same institutions and "money men" that the Republicans get their marching orders from but they don't like to advertise it. There are two types of opposition: "Loyal Opposition" and plain old opposition. I'm going to anger a few people with this article, but it is a necessary thing that I'm doing. Americans must understand that we have no opposition to the imperialistic intentions of the American government, we only have two different and distinct ways of doing the same things.
Al Qaeda is a creation and a tool of our own CIA. The CIA through the Pakistani Intelligence Bureau called the ISI funds it. The facts are that we wired $100,000.00 to ISI that has links to al Qaeda . In late September 2001 there was an FBI source that published a report that determined that the FBI and CIA were linked to the ISI. General Ahmad, the head of the Pakistani ISI wired $100,000 to al Qaeda, in fact, to Muhammad Atta, the leader of the group that staged the 9/11 attacks. This was in the Summer of 2001.This was in a press report that was covered by the MSM, and talked about the "money man" that financed and supported the 9/11 hijackers. This General Ahmed was in Washington when the attacks on 9/11 occurred. He met with George Tenent, Richard Armitage and Senator Joe Biden. Can anyone explain this?
There are so many things we don't know, yet these events can be documented in press reports. Why was General Ahmed in Washington from September 4-13, 2001, and why did he wire $100,000 to Muhammad Atta? I would like to ask Joe Biden why this came about. It could just be a "coincidence", we have many of these of late.
It is common knowledge that al Qaeda is a working partner with the ISI, and that the American government knows this. Why do we help to fund them? You answer this question. I won't. I'll just tell you what has already been published. (www.bilderberg.org/pepis02.htm), (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=606) . Alarmed yet? The fact is that the U.S. Government knew much more about 9/11 that they admit too. By association and in cooperation with the Federal Government, the Democrats know much more than they will admit. I am not accusing, I am merely presenting facts and asking questions. We should ALL be asking questions. One of the questions we should be asking is why the United States has adopted "first use strategy of nuclear weapons". The U.S. has formally announced to the world that it WILL use nuclear weapons in the event of a pre-emptive strike against sovereign nations or terrorists. (http://www.larouchepub.com/eirtoc/2005/eirtoc_3221.html) Why?
This is getting out of hand. Do you believe that Hillary Clinton is going to be any different in shaping government policy as George W, Bush? If you believe that, you are engaging in denial. I can understand that. Nobody wants to believe that our government is involved in what it is involved in. There have been so many abuses of power and so many lies told over the course of the last 60 years, that it seems as if it is just business as usual. These are just facts we have become inured to. The real fact is that if we let our government behave as badly as they have in the last 30 years, we are complicit in crimes against humanity.
The real problem here isn't just the wars we are fighting in the Middle East, or the build-up for war in Iran, or the proxy wars being fought by the US all over the globe. The real problem is that our government has disintegrated into a state sponsor of terrorism to advance its world-view. It has removed the protections that were afforded to its own citizens via the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It has removed Posse Comitatus thereby giving the military law-enforcement powers. In effect, we are living under martial law. ((http://houston911truth.org/2007/08/16/elimination-of-the-1878-posse-comitatus-act/)
Our government has basically sacked Habeas Corpus, authorized the government to spy on anyone without a warrant, condones interrogations up to the point of organ-failure, eliminated the separation of church and state, and declared that "we" are the guardians of the "civilized world". This "remodeling" of the American Government was done with the cooperation of the Democrats. The Patriot Act allows for searches of your home or business without a warrant, that they can hold you indefinitely without informing you of the charges against you. They can seize your property for interfering with the rebuilding and pacification of Iraq. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html) What's next?
If you don't believe that we are living under a form of dictatorship, you are delusional. I know it is a hard thing to admit. I believe I have proved my case. Say what you will, but the truth is hard to ignore. What we must do as responsible citizens is roll this legislation and the executive orders and all the rest back. Don't trust anyone to do it for you. The Democrats are part of this. They have been for years. Even Clinton and Wesley Clark, two men that I once greatly admired are up to their necks in this. I have given you the facts. If you choose not to believe what I have documented here, that is your decision. When the nation is in constant war, and the bombs fall from the sky, and you find yourself penniless, a 21st Century serf, don't say you weren't warned. Consider this you "heads-up". You can't ignore this forever.

Nah, damail, you're not deluded. And Nixon was not a crook.
Don't move. Don't think. Stay right where you are. Make it easy for the gestapo.
Maybe paint a target on your face. Cheney's second Nine Eleven Op is about to blow your life away. Don't move. Sit tight. You're not deluded. Wait right there.

First I'm offended by the commenter's reference to the Toothfairy they are already over worked and it wasn't their fault that they were mugged, kidnaped and held for rasom in Texas. Those photographs of them registering ENRON was merely a manifestation of Stockholm Syndrome.
Next I would suggest that the article is more than a little over hyped. The author is assuming an unbelievable degree of cooperation/ contrivance between so many diametrically opposed interests.
I don't doubt the "facts" are true its the conclusions are so speculative and drawn with such minimal bridging corroberative information.
You appear to e right that US is no longer a functioning democracy but I would suggest you remeber Ocam's Razor in your deliberations. I think you'll find the answer is that the US is a plutocratic state and all that stem from that. Failing that put a cullender wraped in aluminium foil on your head so they can't read you seditious throughts less the men in sunnies and trench coats come for you.

Your sense of deranged human nature seems to assume an unbelievable incompetent incapacity of your elected dunces, I mean, representatives. Heck, you can tell what they can think better than they can. They definitely can not tell what you think, as if they cared.
I suggest you remember Razor Wire in your incarceration.

Where is the outrage over sky-high taxes, regulatory costs? by Steve Higgins 7/15/07 - New Haven (CT) Register (Fair Use excerpts)
"Reports last week from two nonprofit groups should serve as a wake-up call to Americans to start agitating for tax reform . . .
"On Monday, the Competitive Enterprise Institute reported that the cost to consumers of complying with federal regulations exceeded $1 trillion in 2006 . . . almost 10 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. It's nearly half the amount of government spending.
"Even more worrisome, the cost of complying with these multitudinous regulations exceeds the amount of individual income tax paid in 2006, about $998 billion, as well as corporate incomes taxes of $277 billion.
"According to the Washington, DC-based advocacy group [ Americans for Tax Reform ], the average American had to work through July 11 this year just to pay all federal, state and local taxes, as well as regulatory costs including workers' compensation and unemployment benefits.
"Congress should take one of two paths: Either cut tax rates and government spending drastically, or adopt the FairTax, an innovative proposal that would involve abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and its income tax and replacing it with a simple national sales tax."
. . . The U.S. income tax system and the U.S. economy are inter-related, and are in DIRE trouble. If we, the citizens of these United States, do not act aggressively to spread the FairTax plan with family, friends and associates - our "nest eggs" stand to be devastated through a coming economic meltdown (see Kotlikoff interview, below).
Politicians are putting demogoguery and pandering above responsible governing - and they're able to do it because Americans do NOT understand - at the "get go" - politicians' / bankers' hunger for ever-increasing shares of the working person's bi-weekly paycheck; Americans do NOT understand the totality of taxes they pay. The FairTax shines the "light of day" on this, putting citizens back in charge to forcefully demand spending reductons.
YOU AND I MUST ACT to mobilize public opinion, and get the FairTax enacted, because the signs point to a probable devaluation of the dollar (for reissuance of an "Amero" ? - under a U.S.-sovereignty-busting North American Union? http://youtube.com/watch?v=6hiPrsc9g98 )
[ NOTE: Does this help clarify your understanding of what's going on globally? a) Bush's persistence on rewarding illegal immigration? b) the North American Highway now under construction in Texas (to stream cheap labor into the covertly-planned North American Union marketplace designed to compete with 21st-century China market? c) the gradual increase in value of the Chinese yuan by China corresponding to China's economic growth? (This will result in the dumping of dollar-denominated debt as its manufacturing economy grows stronger - which guarantees devaluing and ushering-in of the Amero.) ]
Keep in mind, this NAU strategy - supported by the "super-rich" (member-owners of the Fed) - together with their politician buddies who want NOTHING to do with FairTax - runs contrary to simply making the U.S. a "tax free zone" for business under the FairTax. Politicians and bankers lose power when the U.S. is returned to a "savings-driven economy" from a "debt/interest-driven" economy).
( Prof. Kotlikoff is an expert economist, and advocate, of the FairTax plan).
Powerful "elites," members of political and monied-interest "clubs" reaching into the halls of power in Washington, depend on keeping you and me uninformed of their plans. It is up to YOU and ME to ACT - and not live in a state of denial - based on what we now know is clearly happening to our financial futures.
After you consult the Kotlikoff interview (above):

I believe every word you say. There has been a sinking feeling in my heart for years about this country. I have had no faith in any candidate except Dennis Kucinich. I do believe that he is sincere and would be a great president. He said last Sunday that he was really at the center of the rest of the candidates and they were all to the right of him. He was right!
I don't believe that any of them would be any different from what we have now. It was a huge moment of disallusionment when I realized that Bill Clinton was so wrong about many things. I'm not talking about the stupid Lewinsky thing. That was just sex and who cares but he was just another politician with a lot of charisma which he is using now to seduce the public for Hillary.
But the question is: What do we do about all of this. Do we have to colonize the other planets? How do we rid ourselves of the horrible mess that we have now? These are not rhetorical questions. I want an answer. I spend several hours every day online trying to educate people about this situation. What can I add to what I'm doing to convince people that we are in the biggest mess that this country has ever known.
I think that Dennis Kucinich must know all these things, too.
HELP!
