Does it matter if the US uses illegal weapons of mass destruction specifically banned as a war crime? Well, to the ones who aren't ignorant yes it does matter. Since the answer to this question is too hot and obvious for anyone here, the ignorant, to respond to, I shall only conclude this won't get any worthy responses. There are two issues I'd like to deal with here in this thread. Issues which have no answer the chickenhawks here play ostrich over, head in the sand and so forth. Grade On...

Oh My God. Either sold a soul or had no life but this for ten years on the mountain tops of Tibet. Holy Crud.

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...

General Helmut Wilberg was personally awarded, by Hitler himself, the Hohenzollern's Knight's Cross with Swords, EKI and EKII. Walter H. Hollaender, a Wehrmacht Colonel, was personally decorated, by Hitler himself, the Ritterkreuz, German-Cross in Gold, EKI, EKII, and Close Combat Badge. As any normal informed individual should already know, military decorations are, morbidly and unfortunately, issued to those who are efficient in the world of killing. Or those who give not a whit about their...

Since some here like to make very nice and tidy (but false) claims of the raging successes of the American troops in Iraq. But those claims are taken from a US military site, which of course is bound by duty to report success and never dismal failure. There is no way anyone can take creedence in their battle reports when it's obviously not going to be reporting on the actual human cost of the illegal occupation of Iraq. Will anyone ever tell me why the army news site is any different from a ...

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...

This is a thread dedicated to the one who can't argue or debate with rationale or maturity. I admit it gets me peeved when I'm sensored for no other reason than telling the truth and educating the masses. It's a closed-minded policy designed for deceit. Think about it for a moment. Some joker complains about the lack of good news in Iraq and how the media only puts out one side of the story and how that's wrong blah blah blah, so they take it upon themselves to even the playing field out. Yet...

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...

I'm Catholic and attend church every sunday, but I have to say I don't really live as any truly good Catholic should. Attending is more of a peace treaty, or rather something I do to keep the familial peace. I enjoy going and listen to what's being said most of the time. But listening and living are two different things. The one thing I won't tolerate, and many here may have noticed, are lies and denial of truth, and that goes for everything in public life. Whether good Catholics like it or n...
