I also suggest people make their way to www.suprnova.org and use their search facility for 'Noam Chomsky'.

They have several lectures, interviews and features with him.

The man is one of the few able to distill and coherently present the information free from the BS propaganda regarding what is actually going on and what has been going on.....

....he should be a household name but naturally given his oppostion to and pointing out the hypocracy of 'our' governments he barely gets a mention in our 'free media'.

I just want to take a quick second to say that SOME americans are aware of whats going on.
I have been wise to the tactics of this administration for a while, and have done everything in my power to let others know.
This includes, but is not limited to, letters to senators/congressmen, talking to all the people I can get to listen, and making sure all the people who listen vote.

In the end there wasn't much that COULD be done though.
Fear and a primitive form of blind patriotism mobolised a good portion of the ignorant into voting GW back into office.
Notice I said IGNORANT and not STUPID. These are 2 very different things, and I've seen very smart people that are ignorant of the situation and vote Bush.

And the letters to the congressmen/senators?
All I ever got was some resigned acceptance.
"Yes, we understand your concerns and your resolve to make an impact. We are sorry to say that with the current balance of congressional power there is little we can do in this regard besides making our greviences known"
(This isn't the exact text but I remember it being along those lines.)

I was watching the Daily Show yesterday and they had a segment in which John Kerry was questioning Dr. Rice.
In Kerry's questioning of Rice he stated that "We all know that you are going to be confirmed"
At that John Stewart jabbed at Kerry by sayin the new democratic party slogan was "A moment of resistence, a lifetime of resigned acceptence"
Thats how I feel, like theres simply nothing left to do but live and hope for the best.

Then theres the question of whether or not anything would have changed with a different election outcome.
Surely if its possible that Al Queda and the Neo-cons share a link, then 2 members of the same secret society(skull/bones) would be on the same team as well.
Fear doesn't just benefit Bush, it benefits leaders around the world.
Whether that fear is based on terrorists, or an overzealous america, it is still being weilded against you.

I don't mean this negatively, but how is your country that much better?
Sure, they aren't doing the same bad things we are, but throughout history all governments have used fear to keep their citizens in line.
Theres always a fall guy who can be blamed, whether its infidels or terrorists or America.
Your country is just waiting to play it's role, and you will have to watch as your citizenship falls blindly into line as well, eventually.

It is my view that all the governments in the world are ruled by Satan, and that is just part of the test.
Some pass, and some fail, and you will find that the ones who pass become complacent with the world around them and question whether any earthly decision can be right.
As the following bible quote suggests, the kingdoms of the world are truely satan's to give, as they are ruled by man, who is easily controlled by satan.

8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
4:9–Devil: I will give you all these if you will fall down and worship me.
9and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."


A Side note: I had a little trouble keeping everything in this post flowing in a logical order. Please excuse me for the mistakes as I'm fairly tired right now and had limited time to write this. Hope someone reads it and enjoys it....

I checked the docu once again, reviewed it and mirrored the files for folks who can't download via bittorent. Keep in mind that the files are fairly big.

Direct downloads:
part1
part2
part3

Fear whether real or imagined is used since the dawn of time for manipulation. Fear breeds revenge, hate, prejudice, arrogance, envy, greed and uncovers worst of all instincts. Is is so easy to manipulate and exploit this human emotion.
