The Opinionated Bastard

What is all this nonsense about london being bombed because the terrorists hate their way of life? Uh hello, but maybe an illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation had something to do with it. gee, i kinda remember a real similar thing happening in Spain, and combining this with the terrorists claim that they did this bombing because of UK actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, you’d think this could possibly have something to do with the reasoning behind this bombing. But no, the US media will focus on how strong and rugged the UK people are and keep gurgling about how the terrorists “hate our freedom”. Of course, killing arabs without care couldnt have anything to do with it. I mean how could it, because then we would have to critique our own actions and this is not very churchly.

Well Ernie, its called being mildly observant…

That is, if you read the statements of these people, they go on and on about how terrible democracy was, how there should be one supreme leader (usually the guy giving the statement) etc.

Everything you just said? It’s total crap. That’s not what these guys are about. Don’t take my word for it, read their websites.

For all you bitch about Bush being a fascist, spending 10 minutes reading one of these terrorists websites will make Bush seem like the head of the ACLU.

Ernie, it’s not that I’m a huge fan of the US government. Never have, never will be. But its like comparing the bite of a mosquito to being infected by a alien face hugger… These guys are seriously nutso…

First, if these folks are so dangerous and nutty, a threat to civilization itself, they should not have been trained, funded and otherwise nutured by the US government. see rambo 3, a great pentagon propaganda movie meant to make us drooling militarist idiots.

Now, the first paragraph you write sounds just like a Bush supporter’s argument. Isnt Bush supposed to be a supreme leader who needs all power and is beyond critique? Of course the rhetoric doesnt say democracy is bad, but all the actions by the executive wannabee monarchists are.

It is sad that many refuse to look at reality. See, ultra violence isnt good policy, no matter how much the internal fear mechanisms claim it is. America the wonderful thinks destroying nations is great, then cries like little girls when that violent backlash comes home to roost. We are the good! We cant do bad! kill for peace!

Come on you study taoism, you cant see the karma in this? How bout the samurai bushido? what would they say about this? SAmurai would say when you use violence, you have already lost.

But america loves violence, Every rambo a tough guy, ready for retribution, revenge, glory, and honor through hurting others. See those enthralled in violence are creating more violence, and they like it. Look at Fox news reaction to the UK bombing…they all thought it was great because the violent ante had been upped and the dangerous game gains legitimacy..kill em all!!! worship the flag and Bush! rara sis boom bah go team go!. Subconscious? Maybe, but they love it. Those who refuse to be true individuals delight in organized structures of violence to exact their LACK of will. This situation will only get worse, and violent America wants it. Welcome to the abyss.

Actually, Al Queda was self-funded by Bin Laden and the Saudis. Not even the Pakistanian secret service we used to advise us in Afghanistan was willing to give him money.

However, here’s were we disagree. I think it made perfect sense for us to fund the Afghani resistance, I just disagree with who we funded.

we gave the mujahadeen those rpgs in the 80s to down soviet copters, now these kookoos take down chinooks and cut the heads off SEALs while growing opium and trading it for guns (probably from US arms merchants, given US control in Afghanistan). watch the cycle of violence grow, become more devastating, the entropy coming clear to the senses. i dont think america will stop the violence until the economy cant take it anymore, and that will be a funny scene indeed.

the bin ladens and bushs are family friends and partners in criminal capitalism. where did all that cash come from for the bin ladens and saudi princes to support al quaeda? our addiciton to foreign oil, and our need to recycle those petrodollars through citibank to prop up this fake economy of rubber fiat dollars. we are doing this to ourselves but we cannot help it. like the drug addict we rationalize it all away as we consume ourselves. I think it will be interesting to see what happens to aggregate demand when gasoline is 5 bucks a gallon because the saudis are unable to fulfill our oil addiction, venezuela cuts us off and iraq remains a quagmire. this isnt going to turn out good.

look at the prefact storm brewing…lack of legitimacy of US military hegemony. The world hates us as China rises. USA elects its own incompetent NERO by choice and the false ideology of resentment. US unable to balance budgets and through arrogance thinks the world must save our phony and insolvent debt position. Our bloated energy intensive economy needs foreign fuel sources. I will laugh and party when 401k america is awoken to reality. all those rules, all those beliefs, abolished in in merely days.haha
