…Julia! for this utterly epic comment left in response to an on-going conversation about the always controversial 9/11 topic:
[...] Personally I think that the USA torturing prisoners is a much more serious issue and much more of a threat to our national security than 911 ever could hope to be. All I can do is educate people I have conversations with and wait until some foreign country indicts our former leaders.
We had our good name before and after the attacks and now we don’t. The rest of the world lets us get away with being an empire because they trust us. You can’t buy, beg, borrow or steal a good name.
I mourn the dead but I’m more worried about the future. As the article Tim linked to points to without mentioning it, there are desentized and/or practised torturers coming home and doing what they do or always wanted to do.
This happened before, after the Viet Nam war. They came to Chicago and other communities, joined the police force and tortured false confessions out of people. Those people spent most of their adult lives in prison for crimes they didn’t commit and the real murderers got away.
I can do something with my awareness by trying to raise the awareness of others and helping them feel comfortable with taking a difficult position on issues. That makes me happy and I think is appropriate for me at this point in my life.
I[f] you want to go after the people who committed 911 follow the money. Who short sold the stocks of United and American Airlines? Do you know of anybody willing to risk their neck to investigate this?
PNAC wrote about their desire for a “Pearl Harbor†type of attack. People in other countries are interested in indicting leading Americans for their role in the war. Have you or anybody else you know of contacted these people and offered to help them collect evidence?
Clearly we went to war with Iraq because they were about to start trading oil in Euros. The people who hold the levers on money can be traced if you’re interested in that kind of stuff. Pin[n]ing it on “The Illuminati†or “The Jews†just doesn’t cut it [...]
What’s the line in that Rolling Stones song, “I shouted out / Who killed the kennedys? / When after all / It was you and me?”

“say goodbye 2 stomach fat”
the fact that this ad would be in this of all posts just about says it all!
OMG, Google knows I’m fat!
I guess I don’t get your point. But good job posting really long and including lots of stuff.
I don’t see any counter point there to anything I said. but good job throwing in the thing about blaming the jews at the end. Nice touch. Who were you rebutting there since I never said that?
And good job Tim, not engaging me on the subject matter. Now you look cool by having a sense of humor about it wheras I look like a stupid asshole for taking things too seriously.
I guess there is nothing here for me anymore. Good luck its been fun.
