His ...Murdoch is one of the black hats, obviously. His outlets in this hemisphere are the same. The sources I referred to above are not mainstream, nor are they hooked up with black hat mediaMonsters like Murdoch.<BR/><BR/>I think you make a very good point about the useful effects of long airport waiting qeues -- especially as the absurdity of ordinary people throwing away ordinary toiletries and drinking water begins to permeate consciousness. One thing these idiots (the black hats) don't seem to take into account is that sooner or later, their victims WILL catch on, and they WILL rebel, and it won't be at all pretty.<BR/><BR/>(Go get some Valerian.

That pause for reflection that you and I hope for is being massively crammed with every piece of superficial and self-serving falsehood. Not very reassuring. <BR/><BR/>People <EM>may</EM> become too terrorised and then start to ask whether it's all worth it and who exactly is the enemy. But I don't like it. The lies and denial are even harder to overcome. A militarised society could follow.<BR/><BR/>Our best chance to get people asking the right questions may just be the long airport waiting qeues. <BR/><BR/>(Note, Leeb: I've collared the 'panic' role at this site and I'm sitting on it.

But if people can't even ...Yes, LeeB, you're right. But if people can't even accept that terrorism is a problem needing nuanced policing rather than militarism, then there is no hope that they will graduate to the idea that the US leadership is criminal or complicit in terrorism. And that's exactly what's happening.<BR/><BR/>This from <A HREF="http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/" REL="nofollow">Wayne Madsen</A>(Aug 11)that you'll never see in Murdoch media:<BR/><BR/><EM>Not surprisingly, after Galloway tore into a Sky News reporter on a recent televised interview, The Sun, a Murdoch paper, is now reporting that one of the 24 British aircraft liquid bomber suspects now under arrest, Waheed Zaman, met with Galloway "many times." The paper quotes the sister of the suspect. A Galloway spokesman denies that Galloway knows the suspect.....<BR/><BR/>Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) agency has helped provide the cover story for the alleged liquid bombers. Working with British and U.S. intelligence, the ISI says it broke up the plot after arresting terrorist suspects in Lahore and Karachi. However, the ISI claims that the men were affiliated with the Kashmiri terrorist group Lashkar-e-Toiba, a group that is run and funded by the ISI itself.</EM><BR/><BR/>No chance of war crimes charges.

They do not. <BR/><BR/>For them, terrorism is a necessary component in their plan for world domination.
