As to more proof of the special forces/fake terrorism you can confirm through the following: ABCNEWS online, BBC, The Christian Science Monitor, and the Washington Post, just to name a few. Look for the dates of September 19-20, 05'.
Thank you. I will check that stuff out as soon as I get a chance and report back with my thoughts. If you care to do so, post any links from specific stories from the above sources so everyone can easily check this stuff out.
imperialism: 1 : imperial government, authority,or system 2 : the policy, practice, or advocacy of extending the power of dominion of a nation esp. by direct territorial acquisitions or by gaining indirect control over the political or economic life of other areas; broadly : the extension or imposition of power , authority, or influence
What would you cite as prime examples of this? I can't deny that our own interests play a part in some foreign policy decisions as one can expect, but what are the examples that come to mind for you and have obviously shaped your opinion of US policy over the years?
Some would say our presence in the Arab world itself is imperialism. Well, if that in and of itself is imperialism then Websters should add "an act of commerce" as a new definition to the term, because our economic relations in the Middle East are the reason people are no longer sleeping in tents and riding on camels. I can think of examples where the US has acted or put its weight on somebody and, from what I can see, we had little to gain personally from the situation. For example, I don't see how we personally benefitted from sending the Marines off the coast of Liberia and telling the regime of Charles Taylor to get out or else. I don't see how our attempts to disrupt the warloads in Somalia was any economic or political benefit to us, but simply a benevolent act, though it ended up a dibacle. I don't see the benefit of our actions in the balkans beyond getting rid ot the Milosevic regime, though I think that action was a giveaway to our European allies. In fact, some Albanian muslim groups have ties to al-Qaeda, so it could have been a costly decision. What am I missing here?
Last time I checked that's American foreign policy s.o.p. Always has been, is as I depress these keys, and will be when I'm gone. "Calculated murder" goes hand in hand with such policy. The "true" government of our nation has always had the average American citizen in their cross hairs. Instead of firing single shot and burst under the cover of night, as was common place these last few decades, they have flipped to full auto and are firing in broad daylight.
I'm not following exactly what you're saying here. Please elaborate.
In closing penguinsfan I have to address your thought as to why "NO ONE" in the mainstream media has reported on these so called extreme thoeries in regards to 9/11 and the like. They have. When they do it's short and sweet and never to be repeated in further stories or broadcasts by the mainstream.
I know there have been little snipets and people like Alex Jones piece them together and draw their conclusions right or wrong. But if there is overwhelming evidence, this is the kind of thing that would totally make a journalist into a legend. I have heard about rescue workers alleging explosives in the towers, but I have never heard of any of these individuals on any talk show that I'm aware of and there are plenty of talk shows, and not just fly-by-night ones, that would give such people airtime. Again, I am open to this idea of a greater conspiracy, but not clearly convinced at this point.
Our planet's human populace majority is a lazy animal by nature though. It's easier to just go along with the rest of the flock and follow the shepard without question.
Well, admittedly it's not hard to pull the wool over our dumbed-down MTV culture. As my favorite talk show host Michael Savage says, we're more concerned with "what slut puked on Sunset Boulevard" than anything related to foreign policy.
