It's very easy to conclude one very easy rational fact. High numbers of dead can stop a country's foreign policy. If the death figures are a lot higher the public doesn't accept it as being worth it. If the death figures are a lot lower the public accepts it as being worth it. Once we acknowledge that basic truism, the following facts fall into a perfect line. I mentioned this in a past thread somewhere but I feel it bears repeating. The following is how the American military keeps track of t...

Since April 1961, the month Yuri Gagarin circled our planet in the Russian's Vostok 1, Russia has developed more sophisticated weapons systems and more sophisticated space launch systems than the USA. Some like to think that the US mainstream media has shed some credibility only recently, but the beneficial deceptions have been going on for a lot longer than most of us have even been alive. What I am about to shed light on may seem like illogical banter, but that is only because you most like...

This article is so powerful because it lays bare the evidence so many here wish, as a matter of policy, to ignore. I have some threads that cannot be replied to by supporters of the illegal occupation for the sole reason that they would have to go against what they've believed in their whole lives. They can easily believe what they read about the Vietnam conflict, about the mass murder of women and babies. But that's in the past where they can evade the moral roadblock that confronts them. I...

I think it's fair to say the American education system needs a serious overhaul. There has to be some way to get kids interested in learning. Grade 8 kids who don't know who the mayor is? Small wonder serious issues go over most people's heads. It's almost as if they're taught not to look up. A loud wakeup call. How did you all do in your social studies?

Now this I think is a rare treat for the common citizen. We all recall how the US attempted to have the female Italian reporter killed while on her hopeful 5 mile drive to safety and freedom. We all should recall the whitewasing report that was issued, with lots of details blanked out by the Pentagon. Through some novice's little mistake, the entire report was placed on their internet website. But what happened apparently is that their report on the website had the black marker blanking out m...

PLA Commando cleared in Dallas shooting Church incident captured on videotape From Xuan Ping Pong BNN Thursday, May 5, 2005 Posted: 0316 GMT (1116 HKT) In an image from video, a Chinese PLA commando aims his rifle at an American insurgent inside a Dallas Church in November. *image of Chinese PLA commando killing a wounded American lying helpless on the church floor* Beijing (BNN) -- Chinese military investigators have determined a Chinese PLA commando acted in self-defen...

I thought this was very interesting reading pertaning to North Korea's military capabilities. Of course it's fact that they have better trained and better disciplined soldiers than almost all countries combined. The biggest problem, I think, is the tunner warfare aspect. It's true they sent their experts to Vietnam to help the nationalists get an edge over the Americans. A pipeline leading behind enemy lines is dangerous and very effective, not only for morale but also for strategic surprise...

There are some things pertaining to the supposed War on Terror that no one can possibly argue against. A comparative example is the color of a clear sky. We see it as blue. Who could argue something like that? Well, no one can. That's why some people close themselves off into a bubble. Here are some good examples of facts and reasonings that simply cannot be explained away. 1. According to international laws the US sponsored and heavily promoted, and in fact constantly holds other nations ...

One thing no one in the US seems to think about, at least anywhere I frequent, is the sad reality of opportunity lost. We've all heard or seen the "how much is 250 billion?" sites, how far back to back they will go, the moon and back, height when it's stacked in the sky etc... But the thing people should consider is what has been lost due to mismanagement and blatant mocking of international laws of conduct.It's acknowledged that the cost so far is in excess of 250 billion dollars. And that's...

Many Americans killed in Chinese air attack Tuesday 12 April 2005, 12:50 Makka Time, 9:50 GMT Children and women are said to be among Monday's fatalities Twenty Americans have been killed and 22 injured after Chinese helicopters and heavy artillery bombed houses in Rumbar, north of Washington, US News reported. Seven children, six women and three old men were among the dead, witnesses said, while the injured included 13 children, seven women and two old men. The witnesses ad...

Since people can't seem to think about things in a opposite light, let this visually help you see how it would be on the other side of the fence. I will continue to do these reversals every now and then, hence the edition1 bit. Please think of it in these terms and ask whether you'd let yourself and your family sit back and do nothing. China probes whether troops hold American women "hostage" Washington, April 6 (Reuters) - The Chinese military in Washington confirmed on Wednesday it ...

I know you're likely sick of my completely true and honest diatribes I post here occasionally, and again it's a topic that might not get any response much like my war crime video did. The official story on 911 is that building 7 went down due to fire. The picture-perfect way the building fell was so obvious (to me) that it was a controlled demolition. The inward collapse down the middle is the first evidence. Central columns had to fail at the same time to get that effect, otherwise you'll ha...

No I'm not serious please understand that immediately. My point is that a person, in the west at least, should never have to go to trial for saying something like that. And this is happening all over the place. The US, Canada, and even parts of Europe have court cases where saying things like this was the charge. Are we in the west NOT losing freedoms we (not really me) think we really still possess? Are these not cases of a restricted society rather than an open free one? And when you lose f...

I was insulted and mocked and ridiculed by the hawks. The US is in Iraq to bring them liberation and freedom from those who torture and murder I was rudely told. This is an isolated incident I was told. A rotten apple is not a voice for the entire corps I was told. And there was me swallowing insults to bring this reality to the ordinary ignorant citizens. My comment was that if it was an isolated incident committed by a tiny amount of GI's, and if the US was really trying to bring justice an...

If this is precisely correct, that they left the room right before their daughter died, at the prick husband's request, then it is a final failure for the final chapter of their lives with a living breathing child. Are there more submissive parents than Terri's? They get made fun of at hearing after hearing, complaining breathlessly about wanting to keep their child's lungs with oxygen, being humiliated and told their offspring wasn't worthy of living her life, and they, to the very very end,...
