  1. Depleted uranium in Iraq with up to 1 million civilian casualties, high rate of birth defects from depleted uranium. Also 2-3 million Iraqi refugees. Every expanding empire without exception needs resources and in this case oil.

  2. Kleem mantra

    If you follow the Youtube and other link that will help immensely in correct pronunciation.

    http://sanskrit.farfromreal.com/index.php?x=writ_alpha Kleem should be Kling.

  5. Kleem mantra

    When I have a chance I will provide a link to correct Sanskrit pronunciation of bija mantras. Kleem is incorrect and leads nowhere. Harish Johari has several books on the subject.
  6. A special interrogation team is going to question the suspect without Miranda rights. The government claims there may be a continued threat to public safety. The so called threat to public safety is the only exception to the Miranda rule. The shredding of our rights is a slow incremental process as it was in every nation and empire that has turned to dust. For the historical analysis read Toynbee, 'Fall of The Roman Empire' 'William Shirer' et al. 'Fall of The Roman Empire' is free on Kindle.
  7. There is talk about not reading to the suspect his Miranda Rights and therefor be charged as an enemy combatant. Will this be a test case to set a legal precedent for future U.S. citizens to be classified as enemy combatants? Indefinite detention without being charged? Remember the NDAA and the language contained for indefinite detention of U.S. citizens. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/19/lindsey-graham-reading-miranda-rights-to-bombing-suspect-a-bad-idea/
  8. 500 million library for one book.
  9. The number of armed police and ATF is absurd and all to catch 1 guy. How about intelligent strategy to take this guy alive.
  10. Sen. Graham wants to throw out proper Constitutional due process and treat the alleged suspect as an enemy combatant. More right wing trampling on basic rights. I suppose he is proposing waterboarding and death by a thousand cuts until he spills his guts. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/19/lindsey-graham-bombing-boston-suspect_n_3118731.html
  11. Thanks for the personal attacks. Much appreciated!
  12. That is disturbing given that there are better ways to conduct a police investigation. This proves that the 65 billion/year plus Homeland Security is a waste of money. Where were those guys? Just more right wing excuses for more internal security. I hope everyone remembers that it was Bush who signed the law creating TSA, Homeland Security. Patriot Act and so forth. Those agencies will never be eliminated. Internal security is the age old cry of the oppressor.
  13. I have never read a single word written by Alex Jones? Can you prove it? Absolutely not? In what way am I naive? You don't even know who I am but are able to absolutely divine that I am naive. Go get a life!
  14. He should be given due process so that all evidence can be revealed and not stuffed away into some police or national archives for decades.
  15. I am ignorant for questioning the OP? Why do some here refuse to think critically and ask serious questions as opposed to being led by the nose and believing whatever feels good. Some here buy into the OP without taking responsibility for their own analysis and just let others think for them! Fearful fearful human primates!
  16. I think one must proceed critically. It is very easy to link events as being intimately related where no relationship exists. Read some Robert Anton Wilson. He talks about conspiracy theories and raises many questions. He was a brilliant writer.
  17. Who are you referring to?
  18. Maybe we are on a different page. I am referring to the anti muslim conspiracy that always follow these kind of incidents. Alex Jones just feeds massive amounts of paranoid propaganda to his followers. I did see the images of these two men from the news and what occurred. Not denying that whatsoever. One must consider and question the motives of Alex Jones.
  19. You are buying into this also?
  20. Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy! Just more paranoid minds that will believe anything that threatens their fragile egos.
  21. State Department's report on Keystone XL pipeline is neither pro nor con. I know there are many here that care deeply about nature as well as I do. Linked here is the latest State Dept. assessment of the Keystone pipeline. Link attached from Business Insider complete with photos that are shocking. The photos are a record of the devastating destruction of old growth arboreal forest. This is an environmental disaster in the making which will greatly contribute to global warming. The mass destruction covers 54,000 sq. miles. http://www.mercurynews.com/nation-world/ci_22700459/state-departments-report-keystone-xl-pipeline-is-neither http://www.businessinsider.com/photos-destructive-canada-oil-sands-2012-10?op=1

  22. Defining U.S. Conservatism Down

    Belief is irrelevant as I have stated in myriad ways.

  25. Defining U.S. Conservatism Down

    ralis replied to JustARandomPanda's topic in The Rabbit Hole

    Rockefeller conspiracy? Club of Rome conspiracy? Why not throw in the Bilderbergers or Rothschilds while you are at it. Your post offers no proof except your opinion. As for oil prices, the main problem is rampant Wall St. speculation which there is plenty of evidence. The simplistic view of 'supply and demand' misses the point and is only part of a complex system of global economics. I doubt you are an economist and neither am I.
