Unless the terrorist hate us because we have office christmas parties. Hey, there's a new Get Your War On |
And the warning about something happening on December 5 or 6 does not apply, correct? Come to reality, if you do not mind. I have noticed that this story is missing from the national media. That alone makes me suspicious. Any other time, a plane hitting a national reserve bank would be all over the national press. |
Blaming on an experimental plane is lame, however. |
|
I'm not disputing that. It just seems like the mainstream American Press seems to be suppressing stories that might have terrorist links. At least things that have happened inside the US. Most likely this is being done to keep panic at a minimum. There were lots of car bombs that went off all over the US on 9/11/01 that were not reported. The stories about the cruise ships are being seen as a "food poisoning" epidemic versus some kind of biological or chemical attack. I think it is otherwise, because it has hit so many different liners, and it has been the same illness. And it follows what the terrorists have targeted as of late, financial targets or tourist attractions. |
don't doubt the power of american ignorance, punchy. in this great nation you can tell the people what to think, act in line with how you've told the people to think, and enjoy remarkable approval. if joe blow american was told by the government that this was all terrorism, where would our country be? would the economy fall apart? if there were a lot of car bombs that went off and weren't reported, where'd you hear about them? |

Is your neighbor a terrorist? Take this test to find out! |
Except it identified ME as a terrorist.... |
I filled in none of the buttons in the terrorist test and found out that my neighbors are terrorists. That site was truly seconds of fun. |
check out the How to Spot a Terrorist Page or the Just for Kids page or the Searching for evidence page. The last one I would go to would be the Links Page American Civil Liberties Union Covert terrorist organization which defends the "rights" of terrorists Amnesty International Terrorist sympathizer group Survival Research Laboratories Very dangerous terrorist cell specializing in building terrorist attack robots Canadian World Domination Canadian al-Qaeda sleeper cell. Many terrifying Canadian invasion strategies located here Burning Man Desert-survival and training camp for terrorists The best of all! |
the author of get your war on was here the other night, signing copies of some book at some arlterna-artspace in chinatown and appearing at an after-party in hollywood of some psuedo-artist fuckwit types, or so my friend told. i didnt go. i love his comics that he sorta stumbled upon, but Im not sure im ready to commit to a mass gathering to celebrate them just yet. god damn i think page 16 is one of the best yet. |
|
and claiming something happened but refusing to cite sources or evidence is a huge pussy move, btw. |
it didn't engage me because i've heard it all before, but thanks anyway. if it's new to you, laugh your head off. |
|
what sem???? |
(note i used a period rather than a question mark) hey spunk itsyourturn appears to be up and running now. |
|
|
Kinda think headed today.... |
I cant even spell thick |
small planes crash all the time. its a fucking coincidence it crashed into federal reserve building. al qaida attacks with more fan fare than that. they would have loaded that plane with enough explosives to level the building. the damn thing pretty much bounced off the wall and burned itself up injuring no one but the pilot it seems. moreover, why would they target a small one-story federal reserve bank in the evening? it doesnt make any damn sense that it would be a terrorist act. |
You know what they say about toads and frogs? If you turn the heat up a little at a time, they never jump out. They sit there until they are boiled to death. |
Let there be no doubt. There have been terrorist hits in the US since at least 1993. 10 years. Right around you. Planes have been knocked down from the sky, car bombs set off, "strange viruses" have been released. And our media, mainstream, US Based media, has been lying to you. Patrick, you claim to be relatively smart, and I believe you are. But you still spout the same junk science, the same economic scare jargon, the same anti bill of rights crap that most of the media has been spouting for 10 damn years. That does not make you intelligent, that makes you a dupe. |
|
I wonder if it's this jerk named Lance that plagues teh subgenius yahoo group list? |
|
he's been reading some conspiracy theories as of late. its funny. you can always tell what spunk has been reading as of late, by his posts. now he's going art bell on us. "Patrick, you claim to be relatively smart, and I believe you are. But you still spout the same junk science, the same economic scare jargon, the same anti bill of rights crap that most of the media has been spouting for 10 damn years." see, this doesnt even make sense. anti-bill of rights? junk science? |
he's been totally influenced by his recent reading of that counter punch website he posted the other day. |
|
|
Yes, Junk Science. Yes, Anti-Bill of rights garbage. The folks in the White House are NOT true Conservatives or Republicans. However, I would take them any day over clinton/gore |
I feel there is some real stuff that has been glazed over on here, so I figured a new handle and writing style might help me get my points across. |
|
as far as im concerned, your support of the bush administration is far more anti-bill of rights. and yes, you DO support the administration, its current and soon-to-come illegal war, its illegal detaining of prisoners of war and so on. you arent mean or sneaky, you're just easily influenced thats all and its reflected in your rants here. you still cite clinton/gore when saying bush/cheney. this tells me you havent learned a fucking thing. you have to realize its not one or the other. its the whole fucking thing. clinton/gore, bush/cheney, who the fuck ever. it doesnt matter, and you're too chicken shit to realize that. you still cant condemn one without citing the other. |
who you been banging over there at the 9th? |
I'm into wackos, and I know 'em when I see 'em. The reason I didn't want Trace to be Counter punch is that Counter Punch is a WACKO, and it's bad news of all sorts in trace's life if he's the same guy, and it makes me sad. |
|
Eitherway it makes no sense. so....ok. whatever spunktard. |
spunk, you need to...calm down. Or learn to change your IP, man. At least before you call people toads. are you okay? for real. I'm serious. |
I am not fine. |
your choice. |
I have to say that I also am sick of the dozens of political threads that seem to pop up here every day -- it's just the same tired blather, over and over again. If people want to argue about politics, maybe they should go to a board that's been created specifically for that topic. |
LETS BITCH! the NPR morning radio show plays this group that annoys me to no end. they are called Frou Frou. First, lets establish that the band name...utterly stupid. Second, they seem to have only one god damn song that they remix everyweek. Further its a husband/wife duo. She sings. He wanks with the 'tronics. She does the psuedo-gaelic thing with her voice.....hmmmm how else can i decribe it.......i cant think of any other contemporary singers that do it, but sorta Sinead ish but no where near as good. Anyway, between this song that is still going and mcdonald munching fucktard behind me, i just want to go back to bed. she left at 5am this morning for nYC this week, i think this, has made me cranky. |
Here's my bitch: I'm reading Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose," and I love it. Except for one thing: The (what's the word I want? trope?) of the book is that Eco pretends to have found the manuscript as-is and has just translated it into Italian from medieval French, which was a translation from the original Latin. (This is kinda silly, I think.) Anyway, since the "French manuscript" kept some of the phrases here and there in Latin, Eco's "translation" does, too. So I'm reading this thing in English and every so often there's a Latin phrase in the middle of a sentence. And my bitch is -- please, where are the footnotes? True, the phrases are short and I can sometimes figure them out through the context and my knowledge of Italian, but in one case, three long sentences were kept in Latin, and they seemed to be important, and now I have to email them to my dad for his translation and wait for him to get back to me, and it seems that simply having an appendix with the English translations would be a really nice solution. One thing that I love about the book is that the narrator is not the main character (like Ishmael is not the main character in "Moby Dick" -- Ahab is). I have always loved this method of storytelling, and I'm glad to find it employed here. |
Miller does that from time to time with French, in which I have to call the mrs over to help me translate. its a bit tiresome. foot notes would be easier on all involved. |
