Question:

RATING THE WOMEN OF THE LILITH FAIR We Fucked Them All So You Don’t Have To Of course you’ve already heard about that traveling poon circus known as the Lilith Fair. And whether you’ve got a tic-tac-sized penis or a huge double dong dildo between your legs, chances are you’re into it for one reason and one reason only: Chicks. Lots of chicks. Sure, there are those who actually like Sarah McLachlan’s "music" and think the Indigo Girls are "deep", but since any time not spent beating those idiots to a bloody pulp is time wasted, we’ll forget about those embarrassments to our species and get down to what we all know it’s really about. And by the way, fuck you if you believe any of that "women in rock" bullshit that Kurt Loadass spews forth on MTV. Everyone knows that women can’t rock. Women are in rock for one reason and one reason only. Because everyone likes to watch hot chicks shake their tits on stage. Period. Think about it. How many of the so-called women in rock look like your fat aunt Stella? That’s right. Ugly chicks have about as much chance making it in rock as chicks who won’t fuck their bosses have in the corporate world. Zilch, zero, fucking none. And thank fucking god for that, or biker bitches like the Indigo Dykes would be the rule, instead of the exception. The Lilith Fair is the best proof of this there could ever be. Ten or so bands, all fronted by chicks (but backed by men who play all the instruments and write all the music) getting together under the supposed guise of "celebrating the spirit of woman" or some such shit. Who knows if these broads are really that fucking stupid. Maybe they’re so smart they figured out that the only way they can shake their fat asses and still get respected for it is to pretend they’re not doing it just to supply masturbation fodder for sex-starved men and the women who want to have threesomes with them. The only thing there is to like about the Lilith Fair is the gargantuan amount of fat braless titty meat in attendance. Because the festival’s primary audience is 16-25 year old women, the chick to guy ratio is like 90:1. My suggestion wear baggy pants and mirrored sunglasses, and bring a walkman. So anyway, we here at Fuck Everything, knowing that the only thing anyone cares about these bitches is how well or how crazy they fuck, went on the road with the Lilith Fair to find out how these "women in rock" perform where it really counts: getting down on the jim. Sarah McLachlan: Everyone on this tour wants to fuck this Canadian cooze. It’s her show, she’s the boss, and despite the fact that she’s married to her drummer, just about everyone does get to fuck her sooner or later. On the first night of the tour I saw her getting fingered by Gus the tour manager while Tracy Chapman worked her ass with a cucumber. All this while yelling at Liz Phair for showing up late for soundcheck (although we later learned that what she was really pissed about was that Sarah caught Liz with a microphone in her snatch watching her "Chuck Berry: Public Enemy Number Two" video). By the time we got to fuck this sex-crazed Canuck she had been thoroughly worked over by just about everyone on the crew as well as a few hundred concertgoers who managed to sneak their way back stage. As it turns out, fucking Sarah is a lot like listening to her music. It’s not that it’s really bad, it’s just that once it’s over you really don’t remember anything remarkable about it. Scoey claims that when he came on her tits she insisted that he tell her that she was prettier than Suzanne Vega and that no, her ass wasn’t too fat (which of course everyone knows it is) but then again Scoey was so high on Cat he might have hallucinated the whole thing. Meredith Brooks: You probably know her from her one hit, "Bitch". But we here at FE know her from her other hits, most of which were delivered, upon her request, by the entire FE staff, as well as a few people we didn’t recognize. "Beat me, bite me, lick me, fuck me" may not be included on the lyric sheet of her shitty CD, but we sure heard it coming from her trailer a lot. Pimpin’ Leon says that while fisting her, he kept telling her that she was a mid-40s, millionth rate Alanis, which for some reason only made her hotter. Indigo Girls: Even though they claim they’ve never fucked a man, we all feel like we’ve been violated after hearing their records. But since our resident fuckhead Dartanion is just overweight enough and has a bad enough haircut that Pat and Butch (or whatever the fuck those lesbians names really are) thought he was one of them. Unfortunately for Dartanion, these bitches pc courtship, which consisted of having Dart sign a consent form each time they tried to round another base and was about as spontaneous and passionate as Japanese Tea Ceremony, had escalated to the depantsing stage before they discovered his frightened, withered member and proceeded to call their lawyers. Another time, Pimpin’ Leon looked in on a multi-womyn fist fest led by those grunting and multi-rolled trucker sluts. He couldn’t bear to look long however, describing the gruesome display as "a soft ball game gone awry." Letters to Cleo: Dear Cleo, Although I still hate your shitty band (those guys who play all the instruments and write all the music really suck), I’m glad you blew me. It’s not that I think you’re that hot–you’re not–but I especially enjoyed the fact that that fat asshole from the clown rap band who’s been following you around was crying outside the door of your trailer while I banged you silly. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to sing "I Could Be Happy" by Altered Images while I fucked you, but you seemed pretty pleased with my rendition of "Tight Little Pussy" by Nig Heist. Fuck you, Dylan Luscious Jackson: Not surprisingly, the highlight of their show came after they left the stage and had a little four-on-four on all fours on the floor which pitted me, Pimpin Leon, Dartanion, and Scoey against these four not-so luscious Brooklyn broads. I took the geeky one in the ass, since the sight of her face made me sick to my pants. Scoey took the curvy bass player, who he claims had a meat wallet so loose he had to reach in and finish himself off. Pimpin Leon had his way with the guitar player after the "rufis" kicked in and he said it was nearly as cool as that scene in Kids. And like an idiot, Dartanion fell in love with the lesbian drummer and even proposed to her while she was tongue-boxing with that chick who used to play bass in the Breeders. Fiona Apple: Although she wasn’t on this tour, once she heard the guys from Fuck Everything were going to be in the house, she showed up back stage wearing nothing but a nose ring. Although we had all jacked to her video regularly, she turned out to be way less hot in person, mostly because it was obvious that she isn’t really 10. After we drew cocks and balls in her Maya Angelo book, we stole her poetry journal and made a few "edits". After going through and replacing the word "love" with "taintstrip" and the word "violated" with "fucked into oblivion" we added the following stanza: Roses are red Violets are blue Fuck you, fuck you fuck you, fuck you fuck you, fuck you fuck you FUCK YOU!!!!!! Shawn Colvin: Although rumor has it that this chick is older than Kim Gordon (although if this was true wouldn’t she be in a wheelchair or something?) she hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to have thick wads of jiz shot on her ass and her face simultaneously. And even if she had, she got a quick refresher course from Scoey and Dartanion who had no idea that she was even part of the tour (Scoey thought she was Liz Phair’s grandmother) until the girl from K’s Choice asked for her autograph. She got a little peeved when Scoey vomited on her snatch, but she felt a little better when he told her that at least she fucked better than Joni Mitchell. Liz Phair: It wasn’t hard getting this skinny pasty-white dorm bitch to agree to fuck me, but it was damn near impossible for me to keep it up while looking at her face, which looked so much like my pet gerbil Hodges that I had an overwhelming desire to put wood chips up her ass (of course, this being the back stage at a huge arena I had to settle for beer bottles). She got really turned on when I told her that I really liked her songs–"especially those ones about you fucking"– even though in reality I’d rather listen to Jan Terri any day. Natalie Merchant: This uptight, pretentious, boring, troll-like prude was instantly transformed into an insatiable cocksucking machine when we told her she was better than Patty Smith (when in reality she’s not even as good as Patty Smythe). Unfortunately she is so sexually inept that when she gave Scoey a blow job she actually "blew" into his penis, causing his urethra to explode. Suzanne Vega: Leon claims that when he came on her face she insisted that he tell her that she was prettier than Sarah McLachlan and that no, her tits weren’t too small (which of course everyone knows they are) but then again Leon was so high on Peyote he might have hallucinated the whole thing. Tori Amos: Tori wasn’t really on this tour but since we got to fuck her anyway when she was on her "plugged" tour we thought we’d include her. And although "plugged" was supposed to mean that she was touring with a rock band instead of solo like she usually does, we soon found out that "plugged" really refers to Tori’s penchant for having all of her bodily cavities occupied by either a piece of flesh or some form of penile prosthetic. Of course, we had to listen to her inane new-agey blather for what seemed like forever before we got down to business. If she wasn’t talking about her chakras or how she’d like to bake polenta for us, she was disclosing all the intimate details of her rape, her miscarriage, and her horrible bout with halitosis. Fortunately for us (and her, I guess) she’s … read more »

As women age, especially after pregnancies and increasing obesity, breast tissue and skin can become less elastic, losing form and shape. Although many women subscribe to the use of support or even push-up bras, the net results can be limited, if at all. Short of going under the scalpel, are there physical training ways that women can use to increase

Yes…but how often do Cat 3 or above hurricanes hit them? Not very often. I’m stuck on this one.  To those of us who don’t live in such places, it’s all too easy to say "you guys are crazy for living there!" But….what if that’s all you know?  You know….born and raised there?  It’s not so easy to think about moving, eh? Now then….if we keep rebuilding and it keeps getting wiped out…over and over…..that WILL be stupid. Mike

I imagine that even the people who didn’t understand how dangerous that is, are starting to understand that it’s a bad idea by now.   And they started moving people back in, then all of a sudden get hit by *another* storm, and sure enough…         And yet, if I laughed at that, people would get pissed off at *me* for some odd reason!

Sounds like a plan, a better bet than investing in Air America anyway…. http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/54171.htm RADIO $.O.$. SIGNAL By JOHN MAINELLI September 27, 2005 — Amid the scandal over taking $875,000 from a Bronx Boys & Girls Club to fund its start-up, the Air America radio network is in such bad financial shape that its announcers are begging listeners for help paying the bills. In a rare move for commercial radio, the all-liberal network began asking listeners for donations and selling blocks of weekend airtime. The move comes after the network was pressured by city investigators to repay the $875,000 borrowed from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club – with the money going into an escrow account until a city probe of the loan is…

I don’t see why.  I would allow that they’ve been lucky up until now but at this point the government at all levels really needs to look at the feasibility of repeating the past mistakes, in particular mistakes that are going to prove themselves quite costly.  I believe in more than a few jurisdictions up here now there has been legislation governing exactly what kind of activities or improvements can occur on lands known to flood within a certain cyclical range.  I’m not sure of the exact specifics but I know it involves either the 100-year flood plains or those with cycles of shorter duration.  People just got tired of the expense of cleaning up other behind other people’s lack of good judgment.

Response:

How patently strange that you think a western woman exercising her right to choose is oppressed and a muslim woman under a dress code is free–very odd – very pathetic. First, NO WHERE in the Qu’ran does it say that women must be veiled! The Qu’ran says that men and women both should dress modestly. Women should "cover their ornaments." No mention of the veil or burqa anywhere. That is the invention of men who want to treat women as if they are property. The Qu’ran also says that men and women are supposed to be equal, but where in the Islamic world are women treated with equality? The truth about Islam and its primitive, backward practices should be told to all the world.  Everywhere in the world where Islam is in the majority it has brought backwardness, bigotry, oppression, destruction and great suffering. The Muslim world casts all Western women as whores and our way of life as "immoral" while lusting after the very same and more in their Paradise. I would say promoting misery and ignorance in this life while wishing for 72 virgins and all the trimmings in the next is the height of immorality as well as hypocrisy. Women have the right to dress as they want, the right to education, right to work, reproductive rights, right to worship or not to, right to be free of the Muttawa, right to testify, right to inherit, right to vote, etc. Until islam allows these things for women it is  just a repressive, barbaric, death cult-an example the civilized world would rather not follow-thank you very much!

The Debauchery of American Womanhood: Bikini vs. Burka By Henry Makow Ph.D. On my wall, I have a picture of a Muslim woman shrouded in a burka. Beside it is a picture of an American beauty contestant, wearing nothing but a bikini. One woman is totally hidden from the public; the other is totally exposed. These two extremes say a great deal about the clash of so-called "civilizations." The role of woman is at the heart of any culture. Apart from stealing Arab oil, the impending war in the Middle East is about stripping Arabs of their religion and culture, exchanging the burka for a bikini. I am not an expert on the condition of Muslim women and I love feminine beauty too much to advocate the burka here. But I am defending some of the values that the burka represents for me. For me, the burka represents a woman’s consecration to her husband and family. Only they see her. It affirms the privacy, exclusivity and importance of the domestic sphere. The Muslim woman’s focus is her home, the "nest" where her children are born and reared. She is the "home" maker, the taproot that sustains the spiritual life of the family, nurturing and training her children, providing refuge and support to her husband. In contrast, the bikinied American beauty queen struts practically naked in front of millions on TV. A feminist, she belongs to herself. In practice, paradoxically, she is public property. She belongs to no one and everyone. She shops her body to the highest bidder. She is auctioning herself all of the time. In America, the cultural measure of a woman’s value is her sex appeal. (As this asset depreciates quickly, she is neurotically obsessed with appearance and plagued by weight problems.) As an adolescent, her role model is Britney Spears, a singer whose act approximates a strip tease. From Britney, she learns that she will be loved only if she gives sex. Thus, she learns to "hook up" rather than to demand patient courtship and true love. As a result, dozens of males know her before her husband does. She loses her innocence, which is a part of her charm. She becomes hardened and calculating. Unable to love, she is unfit to receive her husband’s seed. The feminine personality is founded on the emotional relationship between mother and baby. It is based on nurturing and self-sacrifice. Masculine nature is founded on the relationship between hunter and prey. It is based on aggression and reason. Feminism teaches woman that feminine nature has resulted in "oppression" and that she should convert to male behavior instead. The result: a confused and aggressive woman with a large chip on her shoulder, unfit to become a wife or mother. This, of course, is the goal of the social engineers at the NWO: undermine sexual identity and destroy the family, create social and personal dysfunction, and reduce population. In the "brave new world," women are not supposed to be "nest" makers, or progenitors of the race. They are meant to be neutered autonomous creatures that indulge in sex for physical pleasure, not for love or procreation. At his press conference on Sunday, Donald Rumsfeld said that Iranian women and youth were restive under the rule of the Mullahs. He implied that the US would soon liberate them. To Britney Spears? To low-rise "see-my-thong" pants? To the mutual masturbation that passes for sexuality in America? Parenthood is the pinnacle of human development. It is the stage when we finally graduate from self-indulgence and become God’s surrogates: creating and nurturing new life. The New World Order does not want us to reach this level of maturity. Pornography is the substitute for marriage. We are to remain stunted: single, sex-starved and self-obsessed. We are not meant to have a permanent "private" life. We are to remain lonely and isolated, dependent on consumer products for our identity, in a state of perpetual courtship. This is especially destructive for woman. Her sexual attraction is a function of her fertility. As fertility declines, so does her sex appeal. If a woman devotes her prime years to becoming "independent," she is not likely to find a permanent mate. Her long-term personal fulfillment and happiness lies in making marriage and family her first priority. Feminism is another cruel New World Order hoax that has debauched American women and despoiled Western civilization. It has ruined millions of lives and represents a lethal threat to Islam. I am not advocating the burka but rather some of the values that it represents, specifically a woman’s consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails. The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Henry Makow, is the inventor of the board game Scruples, and the author of A Long Way to go for a Date. He received his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Toronto. http://www.savethemales.ca/180902.html

Good post? This is an excellent post; the best one I have read so far! I wonder who the author of this article is.  Is he a westerner?  A Muslim? To which side of the clash of civlization does the author place himself? Obviously in a clash of civilization, neutrality is unaffordable! Zubair

The greatest strength of a person comes when he knows himself and is able to control himself.  One cannot conquer his fear of heights or water until one confronts  those fears.  One could avoid water and heights for the duration of his life and believe he has overcome his fears but he is fooling neither himself nor his God.  By avoiding his problems, he has not grown spiritually and has failed in the eyes of God who gave each of us the ability to overcome our faults.  Sexual desires are strong and are not easily controlled but that does not mean it is an impossibility.  God has allowed you a confrontation and your job is to recognize the problem and learn to deal with it.  Do you ignore the problem?  Do you change the dynamics of the problem?  Or do you understand that the problem is only in your mind and of your own making.  What do you think of when you see a bikini clad woman? Think about it and you might realize that the problem is yours and not mine. Of course we know Allah will be very incensed that you have found a truth of Jehovah.  Remember, Allah cannot harm you unless you allow him into your life.

The Debauchery of American Womanhood: Bikini vs. Burka By Henry Makow Ph.D. On my wall, I have a picture of a Muslim woman shrouded in a burka. Beside it is a picture of an American beauty contestant, wearing nothing but a bikini. One woman is totally hidden from the public; the other is totally exposed. These two extremes say a great deal about the clash of so-called "civilizations." The role of woman is at the heart of any culture. Apart from stealing Arab oil, the impending war in the Middle East is about stripping Arabs of their religion and culture, exchanging the burka for a bikini. I am not an expert on the condition of Muslim women and I love feminine beauty too much to advocate the burka here. But I am defending some of the values that the burka represents for me. For me, the burka represents a woman’s consecration to her husband and family. Only they see her. It affirms the privacy, exclusivity and importance of the domestic sphere. The Muslim woman’s focus is her home, the "nest" where her children are born and reared. She is the "home" maker, the taproot that sustains the spiritual life of the family, nurturing and training her children, providing refuge and support to her husband. In contrast, the bikinied American beauty queen struts practically naked in front of millions on TV. A feminist, she belongs to herself. In practice, paradoxically, she is public property. She belongs to no one and everyone. She shops her body to the highest bidder. She is auctioning herself all of the time. In America, the cultural measure of a woman’s value is her sex appeal. (As this asset depreciates quickly, she is neurotically obsessed with appearance and plagued by weight problems.) As an adolescent, her role model is Britney Spears, a singer whose act approximates a strip tease. From Britney, she learns that she will be loved only if she gives sex. Thus, she learns to "hook up" rather than to demand patient courtship and true love. As a result, dozens of males know her before her husband does. She loses her innocence, which is a part of her charm. She becomes hardened and calculating. Unable to love, she is unfit to receive her husband’s seed. The feminine personality is founded on the emotional relationship between mother and baby. It is based on nurturing and self-sacrifice. Masculine nature is founded on the relationship between hunter and prey. It is based on aggression and reason. Feminism teaches woman that feminine nature has resulted in "oppression" and that she should convert to male behavior instead. The result: a confused and aggressive woman with a large chip on her shoulder, unfit to become a wife or mother. This, of course, is the goal of the social engineers at the NWO: undermine sexual identity and destroy the family, create social and personal dysfunction, and reduce population. In the "brave new world," women are not supposed to be "nest" makers, or progenitors of the race. They are meant to be neutered autonomous creatures that indulge in sex for physical pleasure, not for love or procreation. At his press conference on Sunday, Donald Rumsfeld said that Iranian women and youth were restive under the rule of the Mullahs. He implied that the US would soon liberate them. To Britney Spears? To low-rise "see-my-thong" pants? To the mutual masturbation that passes for sexuality in America? Parenthood is the pinnacle of human development. It is the stage when we finally graduate from self-indulgence and become God’s surrogates: creating and nurturing new life. The New World Order does not want us to reach this level of maturity. Pornography is the substitute for marriage. We are to remain stunted: single, sex-starved and self-obsessed. We are not meant to have a permanent "private" life. We are to remain lonely and isolated, dependent on consumer products for our identity, in a state of perpetual courtship. This is especially destructive for woman. Her sexual attraction is a function of her fertility. As fertility declines, so does her sex appeal. If a woman devotes her prime years to becoming "independent," she is not likely to find a permanent mate. Her long-term personal fulfillment and happiness lies in making marriage and family her first priority. Feminism is another cruel New World Order hoax that has debauched American women and despoiled Western civilization. It has ruined millions of lives and represents a lethal threat to Islam. I am not advocating the burka but rather some of the values that it represents, specifically a woman’s consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails. The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. http://www.savethemales.ca/180902.html

Give it up, Abu Alfalfa — that’s just old and tired and stale and discredited by this point, so it’s rather pointless of you to try to keep dragging it out of the trash heap at this late date!  This article was extensively discussed and debunked in the groups when Makow first published it, and most of us are not very impressed with his argumentation, nor with Henry "Beware the secret Freemasonic plots"  "Put Western women into Burkas"  "My Philippina mail-order bride left me" Makow himself.  Can’t you come up with a slightly better grade of ranting conspiracy theorist and sensitively touchy paranoid anti-feminist than Makow?  To see an appropriate Arabic slogan for you (which contains a lot more truth than the Makow article ever did!), view my sig below as HTML, or click on the URL and view the beautiful calligraphy at my website: — &#1575;&#1604;&#1605;&#1578;&#1576;&#1585;&#1580;&#1577; &#1582;&#1610;&#1585; &#1605;&#1606; &#1575;&#1604;&#1573;&#1585;&#1607;&#1575;&#1576;&#1610; &#1575;&#1604;&#1605;&#1606;&#1578;&#1581;&#1585;   Murderers are not martyrs!     http://symbolictruth.fateback.com/abulwafa.htm#mutabarrijah

Response:

Of course, this Islamist dude forgot to print you folks a bunch of the better rebuttals to the article on this site.   The Islamic world is so conformist that it has a difficult time with the concept of freedom.  I don’t think America or the west would appreciate a clerical squad of "morals police" imprisoning them for violating a Muslim dress code. Ironically, when Muslims move to the west, severe social problems have been noted.  Denmarks tiny Islamic minority shocked the nation a short while ago when government statistics showed this group to be responsible for the largest percentage of rapes and violent crimes against Danish women. Islam is repressed–and I am not alone in believing that the sexual repression of Islam is a good part of the reason for the worldwide epidemic of Muslim Rage.  Get laid more, Muslims, you’ll be more peaceful…..  Here’s one: Comment From Mike Harris 9-20-2 While Dr. Makow makes some valid observations concerning some of the flawed perspectives directed towards and about women in Western Society, he fails miserably to produce any true insight. The comparison of a "Miss America" Contestant with the "average" Burka-covered Muslim female is ludicrous–were women expected to be parading on our city streets or going to the market dressed in Bikinis it might be an apt comparison, but such is not the case. Further, the inadequacies of Britney Spears as a Teenage Role Model have been pointed out many times by others–including Spears herself recently. Dr. Makow seems to use the term "independent" in connection with women as some sort of slang insult,and he competely ignores that the so-called revered status of Muslim womanhood amounts to them being treated as Property . In America, women are treated as a Commodity due to their beauty (as are Men) — IF they wish to be and IF they allow it . But bottom-line, they have The Freedom to either self-promote or reject the status of Commodity. In the Muslim rigid framework of existence, women are Property, and are subject to cruelty far greater than any so-called Western "debauchery". "The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. " That is the only unassailable statement Dr. Makow makes—all else is simply proof that a Ph.D doesn’t necessarily guarantee a perceptive viewpoint, merely that the author’s Opinion shall be printed somewhere. — Mike Harris (no Ph.D…but no Personal Agenda, either…)

The role of Vitamin D in the prevention of cancer has been one of the hottest areas of research of late, with long documentation that cancer rates sharply increase with low vitamin D intake–and as one moves further north. Vitamin D is in the grey area of both vitamin and hormone (the body manufactures it via sunlight on skin)–while the incidence of skin cancer increases with too much sun exposure, skin cancers tend not to be life threatening like other cancers.  Now, dermatologists are realizing that the data dictates more sun exposure is an asset for cancer prevention.  Muslim women who wear the burka in western societies tend to have higher cancer rates.

Response:

The Debauchery of American Womanhood: Bikini vs. Burka By Henry Makow Ph.D. On my wall, I have a picture of a Muslim woman shrouded in a burka. Beside it is a picture of an American beauty contestant, wearing nothing but a bikini. One woman is totally hidden from the public; the other is totally exposed. These two extremes say a great deal about the clash of so-called "civilizations." The role of woman is at the heart of any culture. Apart from stealing Arab oil, the impending war in the Middle East is about stripping Arabs of their religion and culture, exchanging the burka for a bikini. I am not an expert on the condition of Muslim women and I love feminine beauty too much to advocate the burka here. But I am defending some of the values that the burka represents for me. For me, the burka represents a woman’s consecration to her husband and family. Only they see her. It affirms the privacy, exclusivity and importance of the domestic sphere. The Muslim woman’s focus is her home, the "nest" where her children are born and reared. She is the "home" maker, the taproot that sustains the spiritual life of the family, nurturing and training her children, providing refuge and support to her husband. In contrast, the bikinied American beauty queen struts practically naked in front of millions on TV. A feminist, she belongs to herself. In practice, paradoxically, she is public property. She belongs to no one and everyone. She shops her body to the highest bidder. She is auctioning herself all of the time. In America, the cultural measure of a woman’s value is her sex appeal. (As this asset depreciates quickly, she is neurotically obsessed with appearance and plagued by weight problems.) As an adolescent, her role model is Britney Spears, a singer whose act approximates a strip tease. From Britney, she learns that she will be loved only if she gives sex. Thus, she learns to "hook up" rather than to demand patient courtship and true love. As a result, dozens of males know her before her husband does. She loses her innocence, which is a part of her charm. She becomes hardened and calculating. Unable to love, she is unfit to receive her husband’s seed. The feminine personality is founded on the emotional relationship between mother and baby. It is based on nurturing and self-sacrifice. Masculine nature is founded on the relationship between hunter and prey. It is based on aggression and reason. Feminism teaches woman that feminine nature has resulted in "oppression" and that she should convert to male behavior instead. The result: a confused and aggressive woman with a large chip on her shoulder, unfit to become a wife or mother. This, of course, is the goal of the social engineers at the NWO: undermine sexual identity and destroy the family, create social and personal dysfunction, and reduce population. In the "brave new world," women are not supposed to be "nest" makers, or progenitors of the race. They are meant to be neutered autonomous creatures that indulge in sex for physical pleasure, not for love or procreation. At his press conference on Sunday, Donald Rumsfeld said that Iranian women and youth were restive under the rule of the Mullahs. He implied that the US would soon liberate them. To Britney Spears? To low-rise "see-my-thong" pants? To the mutual masturbation that passes for sexuality in America? Parenthood is the pinnacle of human development. It is the stage when we finally graduate from self-indulgence and become God’s surrogates: creating and nurturing new life. The New World Order does not want us to reach this level of maturity. Pornography is the substitute for marriage. We are to remain stunted: single, sex-starved and self-obsessed. We are not meant to have a permanent "private" life. We are to remain lonely and isolated, dependent on consumer products for our identity, in a state of perpetual courtship. This is especially destructive for woman. Her sexual attraction is a function of her fertility. As fertility declines, so does her sex appeal. If a woman devotes her prime years to becoming "independent," she is not likely to find a permanent mate. Her long-term personal fulfillment and happiness lies in making marriage and family her first priority. Feminism is another cruel New World Order hoax that has debauched American women and despoiled Western civilization. It has ruined millions of lives and represents a lethal threat to Islam. I am not advocating the burka but rather some of the values that it represents, specifically a woman’s consecration to her future husband and family, and the modesty and dignity this entails. The burka and the bikini represent two extremes. The answer lies somewhere in the middle. Henry Makow, is the inventor of the board game Scruples, and the author of A Long Way to go for a Date.

Just one ?, OK : Jemaah Islamiyah (Still active, and arsehole Bashir is their chief "cleric") Bashir found enough support to create a boarding school in Java, whose motto, "Death in the way of Allah is our highest aspiration," should tell you everything you need to know about its curriculum. http://www.rotten.com/library/history/terrorist-organizations/jemaah-…

Of course none of those are Islam’s mistake just as atrocities committed by Christians are not Christianity’s mistakes.  The onus for mistakes of adherenta to a specific religion is solely on the individual.  Having said that, Islam condones and encourages murder of innocents.  Yes, Muslims have their own interpretation of the meaning of an innocent but the Islamic religion does demand that killing.  Participants of the Olympic Games, embassy personnel, people riding in buses, airline passengers, people who have a different belief have all been accomplished in the name of Allah and Islam but there is little objection heard from the Muslim world.   The Quran has numerous admonitions pertaining to killing innocents. Granted,  I’m sure there are many, many Muslims who would be considered decent, honest and pious.  However, no other religion has schools organized to indoctrinate children with hatred.  No other religion has religious clerics spewing venom, lies and inciting to murder while preaching in a place of worship. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Response:

good response Joe King, I have not heard about what Pat Robertson has said, because of censorship in public media or just ignorance of what someone has told about Hugo Chavez which his country is a partner of ours in many fields. Maybe you’re right but, 1-   personally i think that hugu chavez is right and US will do something about him. 2-   if Robertson was muslim he would have never told other muslims to kill someone because he/she think that muslims want to kill him, Muslims are forbidden from killing other people just in some specific conditions, for example when someone publicly insults their prophet, when others start fighting with them (= when defending theirselves) or when someone kills another muslim intentionally. I know that sometime muslims do something that is really disgraceful and even forbidden in Islam and sometime other people( non-muslims) try to do something to show that muslims are crule. Do you think bin-ladan is muslim? I don’t know what you or all other non-muslims think but we muslims (at least people of my country) do not consider them muslim and have shown our disapproval about them. They are part of US political program, they go every where US governments want. Can you consider the time when bin-ladan is arrested? then, How US governments can explain their military affairs around the world . THEY HAVE CREATED THEM (Bin-Lanan, Algaaede or …) AND WANT THEM TO WANDER AROUND THE WORLD TO OPEN THE ROAD OF CONQUERING ALL PART OF THE WORLD. but if you see that most muslim countries are silent about this affairs, one of its reason is that they are all busy with their fights with each other, or internal problems: –  Iraq has no stable government –  Sudia thinks about its oil and nothing else –  Afghanistan is busy with its problems –  Pakistan is busy with India in a competition in producing more powerful military equipments –  Sudan is solving its national problem after many years of fighting –  …. See? And it may sound funny to you but personally i think it is also another political plan! I don’t want to say that all muslims mistakes are political plans of their enemies, they have made alot of mistakes but none of them is Islam’s mistake. thanks for your paying attention, –Jimmy

Considering your response to my post, I’d say you are rather upset.  If you want to get under the skin of a racist, bigot or just a plain rude person then give them back exactly what they are doing.  I suggest you re read the post that I responded to (the same one that has been reposted dozens of times), I mean really read it and try to place yourself in the shoes of a non Muslim.  You’ll quickly notice the hate and discust of another culture. Actually, it’s a little humorous coming from someone advocating a culture steeped in backwardtism and an adherence to archaic and barbarous social customs.  In short, a tenth century culture attempting to exist in the 21st century. Yours is but a whisper within a sea of roars.  If Islam is as you say then why is there such a deafening silence concerning what you call barbarians? What did you hear from Americans when that religious person declared we should assasinate a president of a south American country?  I’ll tell you. You heard an immediate and sound refutiation of the comments and the persons beliefs.  If Pat Robertson ahd been Muslim then no doubtedly someone would have attempted to carry out his wishes.  If there was the same uproar coming from Islamic clerics and political persons then you might have some justification for what you say. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Because ALL non-Muslims are the enemies (and targets) of Muslims. Not just Christians and Jews. In fact even Muslims can be the enemies of Muslims. That’s what happens with Islam.

This sounds rather like our constant argument in alt.mexico, that Mexico expects the U.S. to allow its entire population into the country to live and work, while Mexico fiercely defends its borders against immigrants and all but forbids foreigners from working in its precious country (unless you have a useful skill like money laundering or election rigging :) .  Similarly, moozlum countries expect the U.S. to accept their people and allow them free exercise of their religion, while forbidding foreigners from freely exercising their religion in their precious countries.  Any criticism of this one-way arrangement is racist, of course.

Question:

Rumsfeld: Iraq Insurgency Could Last Years By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL (Associated Press) WASHINGTON – Insurgencies can go on for years, but the violence ravaging Iraq will eventually be quelled by homegrown forces rather than U.S. and other foreign troops, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld says. The violence could even worsen as Iraqi officials draft a constitution and Iraqi citizens prepare to install a new government by the end of the year, Rumsfeld said in television interviews Sunday. Deadly attacks are a daily reality in Iraq, where an Associated Press count through Sunday showed 1,736 U.S. troops killed. “That insurgency could go on for any number of years. Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years,” Rumsfeld said.

Yes this is rich isn’t it, Bush and Co. wants us to believe that we should train and arm and equip a standing Iraqi army with US weapons and "garbage trucks" paid for by US taxpayers. And in ten or fifteen years pull out leaving those weapons and equipment behind so that the next Saddam and there will be a next, will be readily equipped.

Nope, The USA once "installed" a stable Democracy in Iran and we are currently attempting the same in Afghanistan. every time we "stabilize" an area and leave the "insurgents" move back in. The same thing happened in Nam, look what happened after we pulled out….

I sincerely doubt China is going away anytime soon. The reason for this, as I see it is the amount of political instability in China right now. This will cause them to do something desperate to maintain power. The Japanese  didn’t stand much of a chance against us economically because our manufacturing was so strong. The manufacturing power of China combined with them tying their currency to the value of the dollar is a dangerous thing.  Manufacturing in the US has taken a huge hit as a result.The Chinese have already financed a big portion of our debt. Not good. The real problem with free markets is that they end up being controlled by people without scruples or loyalty to anything but profit. Regulation  of business helps keep things from getting out of hand. Without it, the race to the bottom begins. I’m talking about the business of large corporations, not small business which is  rapidly vanishing. Soon all will be Wal-Mart made in China if we’re not careful. The deregulation of the insurance (read: extortion)  industry is a classic example. I’ve nothing against making a profit as long as  the little guys have a shot at it too. The problem is that the work that a lot of the smaller manufacturers used to do is now in China and if you don’t have the money to move to China then you are SOL… TG

yeah the balance of trade is tipping in which direction? a. Tipton, Missouri b. China c. WalMart d. United States e. IBM f. Maytag But are there not frequent instances, you will say, of states and kingdoms, which were formerly rich and opulent, and are now poor and beggarly? Has not the money left them, with which they formerly abounded? I answer, If they lose their trade, industry, and people, they cannot expect to keep their gold and silver: For these precious metals will hold proportion to the former advantages. When LISBON and AMSTERDAM got the EAST-INDIA trade from VENICE and GENOA, they also got the profits and money which arose from it. Where the seat of government is transferred, where expensive armies are maintained at a distance, where great funds are possessed by foreigners; there naturally follows from these causes a diminution of the specie. But these, we may observe, are violent and forcible methods of carrying away money, and are in time commonly attended with the transport of people and industry. But where these remain, and the drain is not continued, the money always finds its way back again, by a hundred canals, of which we have no notion or suspicion. What immense treasures have been spent, by so many nations, in FLANDERS, since the revolution, in the course of three long wars? More money perhaps than the half of what is at present in EUROPE. But what has now become of it? Is it in the narrow compass of the AUSTRIAN provinces? No, surely: It has most of it returned to the several countries whence it came, and has followed that art and industry, by which at first it was acquired. For above a thousand years, the money of EUROPE has been flowing to ROME, by an open and sensible current; but it has been emptied by many secret and insensible canals: And the want of industry and commerce renders at present the papal dominions the poorest territory in all ITALY.     In short, a government has great reason to preserve with care its people and its manufactures. Its money, it may safely trust to the course of human affairs, without fear or jealousy. Or if it ever give attention to this latter circumstance, it ought only to be so far as it affects the former. David Hume

 From a strategic standpoint, the Chinese war effort will require massive quantities of oil, as will the U.S. and UK. The presence of American armor, airpower and boots on the ground in the mideast will assist in enabling tactical preservation of Western supplies while hampering access of those supplies to enemy combatents. I suspect that Russia and several of the "stans" will join with China against the West. The Iraqi and Kuwait land mass has numerous locations for U.S. Military bases. Accordingly, it can become the new Western Germany / S. Korea where stationing rotations are concerned. I would like to see the U.S. pull out of all Iraq towns and cities. Then any shut down domestic military bases can be moved there. The U.S. is perfectly capable of maintaining base security and terminating the inevitable harassments which would be ongoing. In fact, they would keep U.S. troops battle hardened and combat sharp. When if the Chinese/Russians etc. come, they’ll come in withering waves to "liberate" Iraq. If we weren’t there, that oil and Saudi oil would fall into enemy hands, killing America. The occupation of Iraq VIA BASES ON THEIR LAND ONLY has to be viewed in the larger context of a new world order, with the U.S. positioned to defend national security [ = OIL] against China and her allies. mvm – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Exactly why I said at the very beginning, that if we went  into Iraq we > would be there for years.

True, What’s going to happen in Iraq is the same thing that happened to Iran. We supported a puppet dictator in Iran and when the people had enough, the Shah was "disposed" and died in exile. The Islamic fundamentalists took over that country. Fast forward, we now find that Iran allowed the 911 hi jackers entry and exit without stamping their passports because they knew it would be a red flag to customs agents. Funny isn’t it that in none of the Bush and Co post 911 statements did anyone say the hi jackers had their passports stamped in Iraq and that proves Saddam was helping them…..But yet they "knew" Osama was the leader and went after Saddam.

I agree with you. Those who attempt to compare Japan’s economic rise in the 1970’s with China’s aren’t thinking it through with depth. Japan was merely a warning to the U.S. …a forshadowing. China is SO much larger, more dense and resourceful, comparisons are ludicrous. All one need do is re-visit what Communist China –[THEN A NATION LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD!!!!] did to U.S. Troops in Korea, driving the entire might of the U.S. Military back down and South of the 38th parallel, fearless of our potential use of nuclear weapons. U.S. Casualties were horrid. The Chinese kept coming. They have had 50 years to build their entire war machine into thousands of mountains and tens of thousands of caves. Vietcong tactics taught all potential enemies of the U.S., well. This entire urban warfare scene now in Iraq is a mere training camp –it’s not even a war by historical standards. When China is strong enough, they’ll make their move on Taiwan. My personal feeling is that assurances and promises which began with Eisenhower and culminated with Nixon should be ABANDONED quickly. The U.S. is setting itself up for WWIII. We should withdraw the thousands of tons of weapons that we can from Taiwan. What we’ve sold them is gone.

They are horrified as new Americans (one woman arrived only a moth ago) watching their nation fall back into the hands of "the Revolution". The reformists lost. So there we are– Iran, across whose land the Chinese could flow into Iraq, have JUST gone militantly Anti-US.

Question:

"I think that the government has successfully proved that any service member has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal."     — Lt. Cmdr. Robert Klant, presiding at Pablo Paredes’ court-martial     In a stunning blow to the Bush administration, a Navy judge gave Petty Officer 3rd Class Pablo Paredes no jail time for refusing orders to board the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard before it left San Diego with 3,000 sailors and Marines bound for the Persian Gulf on December 6th. Lt. Cmdr. Robert Klant found Pablo guilty of missing his ship’s movement by design, but dismissed the charge of unauthorized absence. Although Pablo faced one year in the brig, the judge sentenced him to two months’ restriction and three months of hard labor, and reduced his rank to seaman recruit.     "This is a huge victory," said Jeremy Warren, Pablo’s lawyer. "A sailor can show up on a Navy base, refuse in good conscience to board a ship bound for Iraq, and receive no time in jail," Warren added. Although Pablo is delighted he will not to go jail, he still regrets that he was convicted of a crime. He told the judge at sentencing: "I am guilty of believing this war is illegal. I am guilty of believing war in all forms is immoral and useless, and I am guilty of believing that as a service member I have a duty to refuse to participate in this War because it is illegal."     Pablo maintained that transporting Marines to fight in an illegal war, and possibly to commit war crimes, would make him complicit in those crimes. He told the judge, "I believe as a member of the armed forces, beyond having a duty to my chain of command and my President, I have a higher duty to my conscience and to the supreme law of the land. Both of these higher duties dictate that I must not participate in any way, hands-on or indirect, in the current aggression that has been unleashed on Iraq."     Pablo said he formed his views about the illegality of the war by reading truthout.org, listening to Democracy Now!, and reading articles by Noam Chomsky, Chalmers Johnson, Naomi Klein, Stephen Zunes, and Marjorie Cohn, as well as Kofi Annan’s statements that the war is illegal under the UN Charter, and material on the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals.     I testified at Pablo’s court-martial as a defense expert on the legality of the war in Iraq, and the commission of war crimes by US forces. My testimony corroborated the reasonableness of Pablo’s beliefs. I told the judge that the war violates the United Nations Charter, which forbids the use of force, unless carried out in self-defense or with the approval of the Security Council, neither of which obtained before Bush invaded Iraq. I also said that torture and inhuman treatment, which have been documented in Iraqi prisons, constitute grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, and are considered war crimes under the US War Crimes Statute. The United States has ratified both the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions, making them part of the supreme law of the land under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.     I noted that the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires that all military personnel obey lawful orders. Article 92 of the UCMJ says, "A general order or regulation is lawful unless it is contrary to the Constitution, the laws of the United States…." Both the Nuremberg Principles and the Army Field Manual create a duty to disobey unlawful orders. Article 509 of Field Manual 27-10, codifying another Nuremberg Principle, specifies that "following superior orders" is not a defense to the commission of war crimes, unless the accused "did not know and could not reasonably have been expected to know that the act ordered was unlawful."     I concluded that the Iraq war is illegal. US troops who participate in the war are put in a position to commit war crimes. By boarding that ship and delivering Marines to Iraq – to fight in an illegal war, and possibly to commit war crimes – Pablo would have been complicit in those crimes. Therefore, orders to board that ship were illegal, and Pablo had a duty to disobey them.     On cross-examination, Navy prosecutor Lt. Jonathan Freeman elicited testimony from me that the US wars in Yugoslavia and Afghanistan also violated the UN Charter, as neither was conducted in self-defense or with the blessing of the Security Council. Upon the conclusion of my testimony, the judge said, "I think that the government has successfully proved that any service member has reasonable cause to believe that the wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq were illegal."     The Navy prosecutors asked the judge to sentence Pablo to nine months in the brig, forfeiture of pay and benefits, and a bad conduct discharge. Lt. Brandon Hale argued that Pablo’s conduct was "egregious," that Pablo could have "slinked away with his privately-held beliefs quietly." The public nature of Pablo’s protest made it more serious, according to the chief prosecuting officer.     But Pablo’s lawyer urged the judge not to punish Pablo more harshly for exercising his right of free speech. Pablo refused to board the ship not, as many others, for selfish reasons, but rather as an act of conscience, Warren said.     "Pablo’s victory is an incredible boon to the anti-war movement," according to Warren. Since December 6th, Pablo has had a strong support network. Camilo Mejia, a former Army infantryman who spent nine months in the brig at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for refusing to return to Iraq after a military leave, was present throughout Pablo’s court-martial. Tim Goodrich, co-founder of Iraq Veterans against the War, also attended the court-martial. "We have all been to Iraq, and we support anyone who stands in nonviolent opposition," he said.

Question:

Masters of Sleaze By DAVID BROOKS Down in the depths of the netherworld, where Tammany Hall grafters and Chicago ward heelers gather amid spittoons and brass railings, a reverential silence now spreads across the communion. The sleazemasters of old look back into the land of the mortals and they see greatness in the form of Jack Abramoff. Only a genius like Abramoff could make money lobbying against an Indian tribe’s casino and then turn around and make money defending that tribe against himself. Only a giant like Abramoff would have the guts to use one tribe’s casino money to finance a Focus on the Family crusade against gambling in order to shut down a rival tribe’s casino. Only an artist like Abramoff could suggest to a tribe that it pay him by taking out life insurance policies on its eldest members. Then when the elders dropped off they could funnel the insurance money through a private school and into his pockets. This is sleaze of a high order. And yet according to reports in The Washington Post and elsewhere, Abramoff accomplished it all. Yet it’s important to remember this: A genius like Abramoff doesn’t spring fully formed on his own. Just as Michelangelo emerged in the ferment of Renaissance Italy, so did Abramoff emerge from his own circle of creativity and encouragement. Back in 1995, when Republicans took over Congress, a new cadre of daring and original thinkers arose. These bold innovators had a key insight: that you no longer had to choose between being an activist and a lobbyist. You could be both. You could harness the power of K Street to promote the goals of Goldwater, Reagan and Gingrich. And best of all, you could get rich while doing it! Before long, ringleader Grover Norquist and his buddies were signing lobbying deals with the Seychelles and the Northern Mariana Islands and talking up their interests at weekly conservative strategy sessions – what could be more vital to the future of freedom than the commercial interests of these two fine locales? Before long, folks like Norquist and Abramoff were talking up the virtues of international sons of liberty like Angola’s Jonas Savimbi and Congo’s dictator Mobutu Sese Seko – all while receiving compensation from these upstanding gentlemen, according to The Legal Times. Only a reactionary could have been so discomfited by Savimbi’s little cannibalism problem as to think this was not a daring contribution to the cause of Reaganism. Soon the creative revolutionaries were blending the high-toned forms of the think tank with the low-toned scams of the buckraker. Ed Buckham, Tom DeLay’s former chief of staff, helped run the U.S. Family Network, which supported the American family by accepting large donations and leasing skyboxes at the MCI Center, according to Roll Call. Michael Scanlon, DeLay’s former spokesman, organized a think tank called the American International Center, located in a house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., which was occupied, according to Andrew Ferguson’s devastating compendium in The Weekly Standard, by a former "lifeguard of the year" and a former yoga instructor. Ralph Reed, meanwhile, smashed the tired old categories that used to separate social conservatives from corporate consultants. Reed signed on with Channel One, Verizon, Enron and Microsoft to shore up the moral foundations of our great nation. Reed so strongly opposes gambling as a matter of principle that he bravely accepted $4 million through Abramoff from casino-rich Indian tribes to gin up a grass-roots campaign. As time went by, the spectacular devolution of morals accelerated. Many of the young innovators were behaving like people who, having read Barry Goldwater’s "Conscience of a Conservative," embraced the conservative part while discarding the conscience part. Abramoff’s and Scanlon’s Indian-gaming scandal will go down as the movement’s crowning achievement, more shameless than anything the others would do, but still the culmination of the trends building since 1995. It perfectly embodied their creed and philosophy: "I’d love us to get our mitts on that moolah!!" as Abramoff wrote to Reed. They made at least $66 million. This is a major accomplishment. And remember: Abramoff didn’t do it on his own. It took a village. The sleazo-cons thought they could take over K Street to advance their agenda. As it transpired, K Street took over them. _____ <http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/22/opinion/22brooks.html?hp>        Posted via TITANnews – Uncensored Newsgroups Access              >>>> at http://www.TitanNews.com <<<< -=Every Newsgroup – Anonymous, UNCENSORED, BROADBAND Downloads=-

Question:

It’s interesting to see how some on the rightg are starting to distance themselves from old Pat because they don’t like what he’s saying, but he’s right IMO. MR. RUSSERT:  Pat Buchanan, you have analyzed this book in the latest issue of The American Conservative.  You write:  "Only democracy can pave the way to true peace and security.  This is the message of Sharansky’s `Case for Democracy,’ which the president has embraced and encouraged all to read.  ut what is often true is not always true, and U.S. foreign policy, which is to protect U.S. vital interests and the peace and freedom of Americans, cannot be rooted in the idealism of an ex-Soviet dissident.  …Sharansky notwithstanding, democracy is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition of America’s peace and security, nor even of Israel’s." Explain. MR. PAT BUCHANAN:  All right.  Well, let’s take Israel’s situation. Mr. Begin signed an agreement to give back the Sinai to Egypt with Anwar Sadat, who is the successor of a military dictator, Nasser.  He was not a Democrat. The Israeli government signed an agreement with Hafez al-Assad, a dictator of the worst kind, for a truce on the Golan Heights, which has held.  What I am saying is this, Tim.  You do not need a democratic government in order to achieve a success. In Mr. Bush’s first term, he cut a deal with Qaddafi, state sponsor of terror whereby Qaddafi would give up his weapons of mass destruction, his support for terror in return for the United States letting him out of the penalty box of sanctions.  Qaddafi remains a state sponsor of terror.  He was.  But we cut a deal with him, and it was a successful deal on the part of the president of the United States.  He is to be commended for it.  That is realism in foreign policy.  It is not idealism, but it is realism. MR. RUSSERT:  Prescription for endless war? MR. BUCHANAN:  Certainly it is.  Look, the United States of America–I dissent strongly from my friend.  The United States of America has always been free and always been secure.  There have been despotisms from time in memorial. There are 22 Arab states, not one of which is democratic, and the United States has not been threatened by any of them since the Barbary pirates. In my judgment, what happened on 9/11 was a result of interventionism. Interventionism is the cause of terror.  It is not a cure for terror. The idea that the president of the United States, as he said in his inaugural, is going to help democratic institutions in every region in every nation on earth is a formula for permanent war, Tim.  And look, the president of the United States has no constitutional authority to do this.  Where in the Constitution do we get the right to intervene in the internal affairs of countries that do not threaten us and do not attack us?  If they don’t, their internal politics are their own business.  As Quincy Adams says, "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.  She is the champion of freedom everywhere, but the vindicator only of her own." MR. RUSSERT:  The president said that on September 11th, "Freedom came under attack." MR. BUCHANAN:  The president of the United States was profoundly mistaken. He has misdiagnosed the malady.  He has misdiagnosed the reason for the attack, Tim.  The United States was not attacked because we are free.  Bin Laden was not attacking the Bill of Rights.  We were attacked because the United–over here because the United States’ military and political presence is massive over there.  Bin Laden in his fatwah, his statement of declaration of war on the United States, said the infidels were standing on the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia. They want us out of the Middle East.  They don’t care whether we have a separation of church and state. MR. RUSSERT:  Do you agree with that?  Were we attacked for our ideals, our freedom… MR. BUCHANAN:  We brought down the shah and we got the ayatollah.  You bring down that Saudi monarchy, you destabilize that regime and Howard Dean, an Arab Howard Dean, is not going to rise out of the wreckage. That country is a nation whose people now admire and respect bin Laden, not George Bush.  We cannot make the enemy the best of the good.  Tim, look, we have had occasions, the last great crusade for democracy was Woodrow Wilson going across the sea with an army to make the world safer.  We brought down all the monarchs and we got instead Lenin and Stalin and Mussolini and Hitler.

Response:

Wow.  He does have a clue.  I don’t know if I agree with everything he said, but he does make some very good points. What I’d really like to know….(but I’m sure never will)…is if it’s really mismanagement, lousy judgment, and all around bumbling that got us into the current mess, or….heaven forbid….it’s a deliberate plan of action?  If it is deliberate, and every action has been taken on purpose, including the deceptions, then every American should fear for our future. Gee….what a choice….either our current leadership are bumbling fools, or they’ve been lying to the world, and manipulating all of us.   That really is what it all boils down to. Which is it, LV?

And, noob, this surprises you because, lemme guess, you have not read any book by Pat Buchanan, watched him on television, or know anything about him. It’s nothing new that he opposed going in to Iraq, and he virtaully recited passages from two of his books during that interview. Maybe you need to read a broader range of opinions so you aren’t surprised into revealing your naivete to the world like this.

Response:

You’re right -fishead, Buchanan has been against the war in Iraq from the start.  He’s one of the few "conservatives" that are correct IMO. Going into Iraq was a deliberate plan of action taken by Bush et. all. On Sept 12, 2001 Bush was talking about getting Iraq even though there was absolutely NOTHING linking Saddam to Al Quada.  9/11 was the opportunity the neo-con’s were looking for – they couldn’t have been happy.  Another Pearl Harbor made going to war a piece of cake.

There you go again. There are many people with conservative views who were not exactly gung-ho for going into Iraq this time. Not few. Remember, any elective war has to be ’sold’, and in a post 9/11 world, we have a heightened concern for despots who have programs of WMD, and who may trade in them with whomever can pony up the money. Korea is the latest example…shouldn’t we be concerned? Were you against Gulf War I? Well, it was the right thing to do, but it still required political salesmanship. Remember this? "This war is about one thing…jobs." Well, that wasn’t a great quote, but Bush Sr. was a better statesman than his son has demonstrated.  If W were as good a statesman as his dad, and felt that he had the time to do it, IMO he would have gotten the same coalition together for Gulf War II as I, and we’d probably be better off, doing the exact same thing as we are today. France, Germany, and Russia had one eye on the money, though, as you may have heard. There was a general agreement that Saddam was attempting to reconstitute his nuke program, no doubt he had an axe to grind with the U.S., no doubt violated the terms of the cease fire after Gulf War I (17 times IIRC, but also ordered AA to lock on our fighters policing the no-fly zone). Saddam was a secularlist, but he had met with Al Qaeda operatives in the past, reportedly paid them some amount of money, $40,000 IIRC (CBS or CNN from interview with one of Saddam’s former mistresses). Saddam knows what a proxie is, and he was most certainly *not* afraid to use one.

Hey Mike, I’ve got four letters for ya…  :) "PNAC" http://www.sundayherald.com/27735 Bush planned Iraq ‘regime change’ before becoming President By Neil Mackay A secret blueprint for US global domination reveals that President Bush and his cabinet were planning a premeditated attack on Iraq to secure ‘regime change’ even before he took power in January 2001. The blueprint, uncovered by the Sunday Herald, for the creation of a ‘global Pax Americana’ was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice- president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld’s deputy), George W Bush’s younger brother Jeb and Lewis Libby (Cheney’s chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America’s Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000 by the neo-conservative think-tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The plan shows Bush’s cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says: ‘The United States has for decades sought to play a more permanent role in Gulf regional security. While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.’ The PNAC document supports a ‘blueprint for maintaining global US pre-eminence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests’. This ‘American grand strategy’ must be advanced for ‘as far into the future as possible’, the report says. It also calls for the US to ‘fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theatre wars’ as a ‘core mission’. The report describes American armed forces abroad as ‘the cavalry on the new American frontier’. The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document written by Wolfowitz and Libby that said the US must ‘discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role’. The PNAC report also: l refers to key allies such as the UK as ‘the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership’; l describes peace-keeping missions as ‘demanding American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations’; l reveals worries in the administration that Europe could rival the USA; l says ‘even should Saddam pass from the scene’ bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently — despite domestic opposition in the Gulf regimes to the stationing of US troops — as ‘Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has’; l spotlights China for ‘regime change’ saying ‘it is time to increase the presence of American forces in southeast Asia’. This, it says, may lead to ‘American and allied power providing the spur to the process of democratisation in China’; l calls for the creation of ‘US Space Forces’, to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent ‘enemies’ using the internet against the US; l hints that, despite threatening war against Iraq for developing weapons of mass destruction, the US may consider developing biological weapons — which the nation has banned — in decades to come. It says: ‘New methods of attack — electronic, ‘non-lethal’, biological — will be more widely available … combat likely will take place in new dimensions, in space, cyberspace, and perhaps the world of microbes … advanced forms of biological warfare that can ‘target’ specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool’; l and pinpoints North Korea, Libya, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes and says their existence justifies the creation of a ‘world-wide command-and-control system’. Tam Dalyell, the Labour MP, father of the House of Commons and one of the leading rebel voices against war with Iraq, said: ‘This is garbage from right-wing think-tanks stuffed with chicken-hawks — men who have never seen the horror of war but are in love with the idea of war. Men like Cheney, who were draft-dodgers in the Vietnam war. ‘This is a blueprint for US world domination — a new world order of their making. These are the thought processes of fantasist Americans who want to control the world. I am appalled that a British Labour Prime Minister should have got into bed with a crew which has this moral standing.’ Web report: Iraq 15 September 2002 more stuff  http://www.pnac.info/ See, Clinton was too smart to take over Iraq.  And so was Bush Sr.- he KNEW there was no exit strategy.  I beleive he even wrote about it in his book. Bush Jr. was different.  Not only is he easily manipulated by Cheney and his buddies, but taking out Saddam Hussein was also personal to him.  As he blurted out in a PR event in Texas years ago, referring to a failed assasination attempt on his father by Saddam when Bush Sr. was in the middle east,  " He tried to kill my daddy!" Yep, just the guy for the PNAC. I expect LV to freak out, but the fact remains that the whole world knows about the PNAC- no matter how much 51% of the country likes Bush, the facts remain.

Yikes.  I’ve read suggestions that such a plan existed, but haven’t seen it laid our quite like the way you did.  Thank you!  It’s very informative and explains PERFECTLY the actions of the current administration.  Those of you who have read what I’ve been saying know this is what I’ve been talking about (more or less, but not in such detail) for months!  It all adds up now. Among my co-workers, we’ve long said that Cheny is the one really running the show.  C’mon….he’s former CIA.  Once you’re a member of that club, you’re always a member.  So now, we have an actual agenda. Anyone with half a brain….and I’m talking world events here, not "we’re gonna kick some butt" mentality….anyone able to see the implications of such a philosophy and attempts to put it into action just has to see that it’s a major disaster, just waiting to happen. Attempts to claim otherwise, are naive…..at the very least. We’ve got to get the message out on this one…because it’s clear that the media is chicken to even touch it. Having read all of this….I now have no doubt that some very powerful people made sure that Bush would get 4 more years to push this plan as far as possible.

This depends on where you are located.  Here in NY they check a lot of things.  Off the top of my head, some things they check  are Brake pad thickness (front and rear) Steering linkage for excess play Tire tread depth Lights for any burned out Mirrors, need at least 2 functioning properly Seat belts for operation To see if the brake pedal will hold and has reserve in it E-brake for operation That’s all I can think of right away, but should get you started… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->I’m having a safety inspection done on an ‘92 Cavalier.

Question:

Hello I have read your aticles for a while hoping to find information about ABC-islands. It has not been so much, except Annie who seems to have experience and opinions. We are couple from Finland flying to Curacao from Amsterdam, in february. We have also booked a hotel in Willemstad for only 4 nights. After that everything is possible for us, possible within 2 weeks stay. We do never travel with charter groups, we like to make our own trip, we typically rent a car and let things happen. But we think that this time we have to make plans, here is not very much spcae to drive around :o ) So now we vonder what to see and do in Curacao and where to go after that? Is Venezula an option? How abot Bonaire? How about Aruba? Is there any ferries between the islands? Any Hotel suggestions, not expensive ones? Nice and affordable restaurants, are there? We like to see things, and do some (very little) snorkeling. We do not lay in the beaches. We love the sea, good food and of course wine. Ronnie P.S Annie I look forward to your response

Response:

Ok here I go: to get from CUR to BON: Forget the ferry from CUR to BON. It takes 6 hours to go 30+ miles..haa..Bonaire Exel is the way to go. Like 100.00 USD pp for a stay in many places starting at 55.00 USD a night and up. It is a great island for snorkeling, dining, hiking, windsurfing, diving and chilling. We have mountain biking, repelling (sp?) down a lighthouse) and much more.  Email me for details on where to eat and stay and more. My favorite dining spots are Croccantinos, Swiss Chalet, Casablanca, Grill Terrace, Mona Lisa and Capriccios (the best wine list on the island). Ocean View Villas are lovely little apartments, Bellafonte are great oceanfront condos, and well, there are so many more. Shopping is pretty slim so nothing to write about… Forget Caracas, Ronnie (IMHO). It is politically not a cool situation. If you must go to an area, there is a new airline from BON that flies to Valencia. Many here go to Valencia for medical care. From there you can go into the country to explore if you choose. There is also some flights to Los Roques soon which to me sounds WONDERFUL. There are Posadas in Gran Roque for 55.00 a night and up from what I read recently. My Venezuelan friends love this island. They do NOT go to Caracas unless they have to. Many people from VEN have actually moved here to leave the current situation. In CUR, I like Kura Hulanda Hotel and Floris Suites. Mariott is pretty but in Aug. the beach smelled like oil very bad. I find CUR really HOT and congested. I take like 5 showers a day there..haa.. This island is nice for exploring the Dutch architecture and some shopping. The Synagogue has great history. The Kura Hulanda Museum is NOT TO MISS. It is a BUSY HUGE island with a very high crime rate, traffic and chaos. But, each trip I find I like it more and more. There is a cool lady who has an herb farm, an ostrich farm, Westpunt is really pretty and Janchie’s has great food.

>I have read your aticles for a while hoping to find information about >ABC-islands. It has not been so much, except Annie who seems to have >experience and opinions.

Hmm.  Well I’ve been to Curacao and have opinions too, but take what you will (or ignore what you will). On my flight out from Amsterdam to Curacao (maybe 10 yrs ago now) they showed a travel video and after it, I was only intent on finding a way to get to Bonaire or somewhere else.  It wasn’t very appealing. After being on-island for a while though, I found there was loads to do and it was actually full of character and interesting places.  I travel like you do, and enjoyed walking around Willemstad, enjoying the architecture, markets, backstreet shops, and even the high rollers at the james-bond-like casino (they weren’t as ubiquitous back then). Primarily though, we went for diving and I wasn’t disappointed.  The snorkelling was also good, if deep, off Lion’s Dive where we stayed. Night dives were memorable.  The best thing was the ability to shore dive; we just filled our tanks, drove to a beach, and did many dives just a swim off the beach. My snorkelling brother also enjoyed joining in at the shallower depths.  Best beaches (for diving; I also loathe beaches except for diving/snorkelling, or walking/beachcombing in cold weather) were in N.west, as I recall. Make sure to get a car and drive around a lot.  The salt flats with all the flamingoes was impressive.  I imagine it would be great at dusk or dawn.  The very rugged battered coast on the east is also very worth a trip. The rock is mars-like, and you’ll find rock-clinging lizards, loads of cacti etc. With 2 weeks stay, I think you could fill your time finding interesting things on Curacao and not need anything else.  If you’re not a serious snorkeller, it might be worth a short trip to Bonaire to get the most out of it. (Easier access etc).  I wouldn’t waste my time travelling further afield though; time spent in airports etc are hardly worth it.  Rather spend time finding off-the-track places and small museums etc in Curacao. — Ken Tough
