		<description>&lt;p&gt;And may the good lord take a likin’ to ya and blow ya up real good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as I can tell, there are no lessons being learned here on either side of the matter.  What happened on 9/11 was a consequence of WW2, ultimately.  It was a case of the interventionist chickens coming home to roost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as I can tell, people here still believe that what happened to America 9/11 was someone else’s fault, not theirs or their government’s.  They still think that we must go out in the world and hunt down those who are responsible, totally unaware that they themselves are the ones responsible for the tragedies that began with the onset of WW2 when Americans formally declared war on Japan after supporting Britain in a European war of its own making.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Americans are a long way away from learning any lessons that have been taught in this period, so it seems.  Not even John Kerry gets it.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, one comes to mind. Daniel Ellsberg. Though I suppose that exception probably proves the rule :)&lt;br /&gt;
He was on Glenn Greenwald’s new Salon podcast this week and it was great. You can find it on Salon.com.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Um, better forget the college bit. From the NYT: “The Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority is unable to grant loans to college students this year as it is unable to secure financing due to the condition of the capital markets.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;But of course, Attaturk. Truth has never been a growth industry. Current events have to be spun for maximum profits in monetary and power terms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The small band known as the Symbionese Liberation Army provided cover for the creation of SWAT teams everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The small band called Al Qaida has been used to expand police powers so we can all be wiretapped illegally, so we’ll lemmingly obey third-rate security guards to remove our shoes because shoe bombs have killed no-one, so Cat Stevens and the Dixie Chicks can be treated like wharf rats, so librarians can be prosecuted for giving out information, so oil price bubbles can occur, so restrictions on oil drilling can be lifted, so cops can taser everyone they wanna, so the right to legalm assembly can be restricted, and especially so political cronies can get filthy rich.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Rand report didn’t go far enough. In defining Al Qaida as a criminal organization, it left out a similar designation for that other crime family, our government.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;G’morning good Lake folks.  Shockful and awesome post, Attaturk.  You have such a distinct style.  I wonder if you were born that way.  Did you have authentic DFH days, like I did?  I’d have liked to know you back then.  It’s a good thing to be able to read you now.&lt;br /&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Creating your own enemies:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel CREATED Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
Israel ensured the Hamas political victory.&lt;br /&gt;
Israel also installed the present leader of Iran.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The US CREATED Al Qaeda.&lt;br /&gt;
The US and Israel conspired to pull off 9/11.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These are mere PRETEXTS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leave your morality aside and think like a globalist whose goals include depopulation.  The value of human life is ZERO.  If you can’t put yourself in that frame of mind, you will never comprehand the game being played at your expense.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take off the blinders.  Think like a morally bankrupt (ends justify the means) megalomaniac whose power and control over world events and perceptions is absolute.  Only then can you begin to comprehend how meaningless your vote is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When you invent your own (weaker) enemies, and create the context with which to justify actions against the countries in which they (apparently) operate, it “justifies” sanctions and/or military action against that state.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of this noise about “countries who harbor terrorists” is just that, noise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are no “terrorists” that were not created by either Israel of the United States for the sole purpose of justifying the acquisition of territory and resources, and the genocide of the people who reside atop “our oil.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nothing is as it appears.  Nothing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever you are told is true, assume the opposite to be true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop obsessing on “politicians” and start looking at the REAL POWER STRUCTURE.  Identify the players and their operatives by name and expose their actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9/11 is but one of their actions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stop mentioning Bin Laden in connection with 9/11.  He had nothing to do with it.  The FBI agrees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next comes the nuking of Iran with “tactical nukes” and the imposition of Martial Law in the United States (aided by a conveniently timed avian flu pandemic, the remedy for which is of course a vaccine that the globalists will all profit from - and the advice to avoid crowds - of demonstrators).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you fail to comply, the KBR-built Concentration Camps (800 of them) are ready for your occupancy:&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Morning Joe has never polled higher than 320K viewers, lower than David Gregory’s burlesque - and everyone’s already talking about the damage done to Gregory’s career :D&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I saw that. Made me laugh,(I know, strange) but that’s the sort of little move I’m talking about. Sides are lining up (very quietly/very subtly).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
