Exactly... they don't secretly pull the lever on everything... but they are the controlling class... you're a big Parenti fan I see.

Whats he actually talking about? Getting tough with the terrorists?? If so, I agree 100%, but lets go after the real terrorists this time.Originally Posted by Gold9472
Well, the title of the article is "Left Doesn't Face Reality in War on Terror, McCain Torture Bill Misses the Point".Originally Posted by somebigguy
Well, its more like me and Parenti have a broadly similar outlook on the world. I actually have a degree in History (and I specialised in my final year in 'Post War American Domestic and Foreign Policy', 'European Communsim', and did a dissertation (thesis) on the Media and Terrorism), and pretty much came to the same conclusions long before I'd ever heard of Parenti. In fact Chomsky was probably a bigger influence on me back then, but without blowing my trumpet, it was more like Chomsky (and others) were putting in words what I wasn't yet able to articulate.you're a big Parenti fan I see
But you never stop learning things, and I do like Parenti's easily accessible style a lot. More historians/political sceintists should drop the acedemic jargon and esoterism and stop writing like they're speaking only to a bunch of people with PhDs.

I know I'm a little late in this convo but a "One World Government" is no longer possible in this day in age. Considering all the powerful alliances and nuclear armed nations that exist nowadays.

It would be like believing men did not land on the moon.
Can you refer me to something which makes you believe it is a conspiracy? Hopefully something not too long for now. I have an open mind and will at least check it out.
Open minds are good. I think there's plenty of evidence to suggest that something is being hidden, just not what that hidden info/event is. I'm concerned you're 100% on this, Gold, considering there are still unanswered questions.
Fortunately for you, I do believe we landed on the moon. Unfortunate for you, there isn't any one piece of evidence I could show you that shows our Government was complicit in 9/11. There have been books written that have 100's of pages as to why I think this way. I have spent countless hours of my own time researching 9/11, and other aspects of our Government. Only when you put 2+2 together does it equal 4.Originally Posted by vernon
However... I can shatter your idea that our Government wouldn't do such a thing with one simple document.
Operation Northwoods
Read through that document, and tell me what you see.
100% that the Bush Administration was behind it? Why would that concern you? I've looked at ALL the possibilities, and they ALWAYS lead to Bush. I've looked at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran, Britain, Israel, Iraq, etc... and in every instance, there was an American finger in the pie. An American finger from the Bush Administration.Originally Posted by jetsetlemming
