15th birthday of my second life

[Brendan Slattery]

You appear to communicate only in facile right wing cliches as is rather typical of the uptight bigoted sociopaths often associated with the "Christian" Right.

Andrew Sullivan, is that you? Your words might have more resonance if they weren't so at odds with reality. You think the Angry Left is shy of bigots? Shall I reproduce the hate and invective directed towards the likes of Condi Rice, Colin Powell, and Clarence Thomas? Or gay conservatives? Who's behind speech codes on campus, the right or the left? Whose invited speakers are routinely shouted down and harassed on campus, the right or the left? Whose bloggers (and their children!) are threatened with physical harm and DOS attacks, the right or the left? Whose supporters fired shots into election headquarters in Tennessee and slashed tires in Milwaukee on election day, Kerry's or Bush's? And on and on.

Too much religion in this country? I'd say not enough.

David, I'd think that you'd first want to know the health of Mr. Zavada seeing how it was posted that he was quite ill a short while back. Then if he is OK, then ask when he may offer another report. Until then, your now mentioning Zavada could be viewed as a "typical tactic without any valid arguments".

You must be referring to DAVE Perry, the agent. He has been tracking me since

about 1991. In case you don't know, when Gerald Posner was here "researching"

CASE CLOSED, he was Perry's house guest for a week or so. He even brought

the slimeball to the JFK class at UTA. Perry was a college classmate of Gus Russo,

he of "THE CIA CALLS ME GUS" fame, I think at U of Maryland in the DC area.

Slattery can fill you in on the CIA recruiting on college campuses. It is not surprising

that Dave has a website attacking me. He has been on my case more than 15 years.

Apparently he is also assigned to Buell Wesley Frazier.

Who is "Robert Perry"?

Jack

Jack once again is dodging the bullet. The issue isn’t whether the guy’s first name if Robert or Dave or his (Jack’s) paranoid fantasy/delusions that all his detractors are CIA agents, but rather his consistently making false or misleading statements to this forum.

OK, OK I confess, I AM a CIA agent so are Josiah ‘Tink’ Thompson, Bill Miller (both of them), Craig Lamson, Evan Burton (on loan from the Australian Navy), Dave Perry, Steve Ulman, Matthew Lewis among others. John Simkin has expressed doubts in some of Jack’s theories so I suspect he’s a deep cover MI-6 ‘Special Branch’ agent from the “double-O” section, Andy Walker probably is too. I don’t know for sure but I believe that other members of this and other forums who have questioned Jack’s theories (Steve Turner, Pat Speer etc) are secret agents too! LOL Heck Owen has expressed disdain for Jack’s theories too, he’s probably not a really a recent high school graduate but rather some sort of secret agent as well, I bet he’s from the MIBH/PaDSC (Men in Black Helicopters / Propaganda and Disinformation Special Command)

Jack, what evidence do you have that Mr. Perry is a (CIA?) agent, or are you once again making claims without having any?

How do you explain denying that you ever claimed the attack was related to you reseach when that’s obviously what you were driving at (esp. in the 2000 post) ?

Len:

Excellent post! Now perhaps this wanna be -whatever the h*** he is -will go over to McAdams, where he will actually find some friends. Surely they must have a forum.

Otherwise, I sure wish I could remember who gave me the "ignore" instructions last year when that lunatic Lynn Foster ("Dulles" - was posting both her insipid comments, together with links to that *person*, Mat Wilson -(she probbly WAS Mat Wilson) . Links that caused a virus if you were stupid enuf to open one. (I did one time).

Help: How do I utilize the "Ignore" function??? Much apprecaition.

Dawn

Thanks but I don’t think it’s very likely that Jack will go to the McAdams forum and he does seem to have a few friends and admires here. Just kidding that post does seem to have shut BS up a bit, he has yet to reply to it or another post for him on they Ken Lay thread http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.ph...ost&p=68496 .

For the record, I like Jack and sometimes agree with him. Even when I think he's wrong, however, I almost always find myself sympathetic to him. He points out something he thinks is wacky, and gets shot down with regularity. Sometimes he readily agrees that he was wrong. This is refreshing. So many others both here and at other forums are out to sell their theory and their theory only, and seem to consider it a sign of weakness to ever admit they were wrong about anything.

Of course, there are other times where Jack is wrong but won't admit it no matter what. At those times he's as guilty as the rest of us. It does little credit to those out to discredit Jack, however, that almost every thread involving him becomes all about him, and not just about the merit of his observations. This thread is a perfect example.

The man created a thread about a near-death experience. One person jumps on and mocks the possibility that anyone would want to kill Jack. Another attempts to show that Jack has some lingering suspicions that

the attack had a political motivation. Jack has admitted to such suspicions. What's the point? Whenever I get a computer virus I wonder if somehow someone didn't single out my computer for an attack. So?

The HSCA's Gary Cornwell made the astute observation that you can't investigate conspiracies unless you're a little paranoid. In my own words, you can't find the roots unless you at first suspect there's something beneath the surface.

My, Len. You certainly do have a high opinion of yourself. Believe it or not, my world does not revolve around you. If I feel that a thread has outlived its usefulness, or that my opponent is incorrigible and arguing in bad faith, I will drop it and move on. Or sometimes I just let the other guy have the last word. I had a feeling I was being set up by the "have you ever served?" query, but I answered it honestly and gave the inquisitor the benefit of the doubt. My bad. I entered a den of thieves and expected honorable treatment.

I advocate only sending US troop into combat when there is a compelling motive, not whenever it suits the policy goals of a political clique ... I supported the invasion of Afghanistan and thought (like Colin Powell) that Bush Sr. should have waited longer before attacking Iraq in the 1st Gulf War.

Since you've already determined my "chickenhawk" status, answer me this: besides Afghanistan, what other wars have you supported, signed up for, and fought in? Was the fighting rough in Afghanistan? Did you kill many Taliban? Don't you realize that taking the fight to the enemy only makes them angrier?

Dissent is a valuable right in wartime, esp with so many lives on the line, but the policies you pursue are objectively pro-terrorist. You're unable to recognize true evil or summon the willpower to do anything about it. For the past 50 years, every single Muslim-inspired terrorist attack - from the ruthless slaughter of innocent life to the perpetration of mass murders in New York, Washington, D.C., London, Madrid, Bali, Bombay, etc. - has had its share of Western apologists. The spinners and equivacators cling to the notion that there is something "legitimate" or "understandable" underlying these blood-soaked crimes, as if the perpetrators had a legitimate grievance or a "point." Thus, September 11 becomes a "failure of U.S. policy" or "blowback for US interference" instead of the ruthless success of Islamic fanatics. Fast forward to 2006, where it is Israel - not Hamas or Hezbollah - who must exercise "restraint." The unspoken message? Terrorists are incapable of behaving like civilized human beings, so it is incumbent upon the rest of us to "acquiesce." NOT GONNA HAPPEN. In the meantime, people like you can't decide if US troops are fanatical killers or duped children in need of rescuing or redeployment. For the record, the vast majority want to stay and finish the job. But don't let that stop you from whispering sweet nothings of defeatism in their ears. I mean, what soldier's morale wouldn't be boosted by left-wing assertions that he's "fighting for a lie"?

Some free advice: in the future, if you don't wish to be derided as a wishy-washy lib at best and terrorist sympathizer at worst, then try not to believe the worst about the United States and the best about its enemies.

Oh, Jesus! I see where this numbnuts is headed. You'd feel so much better if we'd just be able to excise the whole Middle East with some incredible Star Warz-type of laser, cast it off into the stratosphere, and blow it all to smithereens, right?

Indeed.

As are nearly all of the "theories" spouted by CT-hungry individuals. (At least to the entent that none of the CTs can be "connected" directly to the assassination. It's a willy-nilly, piece-meal operation the CTers engage in. But, it's a living I suppose.)

And why any Z-Film-fakers would have any desire (at all) to change the look of Mary Moorman's shoes or a police officer's helmet band is ..... anyone's guess. Anybody have any idea how these things aid in the plotters' Patsy Plot?

And why somebody would go to the very-detailed trouble of phonying-up the Zapruder Film but yet LEAVE IN the rear head snap (which is the one big point on the film that spells "plot" to most CTers) is, again, a large-scale mystery that nobody can answer evidently.

These boobs were too concerned about Mary's shoes and socks to worry about such "trivial" matters like Kennedy's head movements...I guess.

Amen. Like I said before, had a Bircher or Goldwater sympathizer killed Kennedy, this forum wouldn't even exist--head snap or no head snap. To lefties, a conservative-inspired assassination would have made sense. But when a puny little Marxist did the deed, history had to be eradicated.

Dinny Dimwit Slattery, consecutive non-stop and undisputed winner of THE CLYDE AWARD regurgitated:

"Actually, I want the "ragheads" to enjoy the same benefits of liberty, pluralism, and democracy as the Tel Aviv crowd. In case you haven't noticed, there's a dire shortage of such things in the Middle East. Not coincidentally, that's where the bulk of terrorists spring from."

Since when has the Islamic nation expressed any desire to benefit from the same things as Tel Aviv, or don't already have their own interpretations of what liberty, pluralism, or democracy mean to them? What are you some kind of missed-his-calling missionary on an evangelical quest to Christian-ize/Juda-ize the Middle East? Remember, they already tried that with the Crusades debacle. And, also wasn't it the British and their petroleum company, along with our own oil baron driven economists who restructured Palestine to create a state for Israel, that never really existed except according to the Old Testament?

"Curiously, delivering people from dictatorship and tyranny somehow equates to "fascism" in your little playworld. Churchill and Roosevelt liberating France and a continent from the grip of Hitler? Fascists!"

That was World War II when the lines of demarcation and the colors were "supposedly" drawn in black and white, and not with the "politically correct" gray scale of today's corporate-obligarchal, totalitarian mindset. Face the obvious facts of your conservative-ridden House of Representatives with their token liberal lapdogs begging for the scraps to be thrown their way, and what do you have? One of the most corrupt, baseless, and greed-driven excuses for an administration to come down the pike, since the Harding administration. Only this time the players are far more insidious and deceitful in their M.O., witness the Donald Regan, George Schultz, George Meese, Casper Weingarten, Ronnie Reagan Puppeteer and Marionette Show. Then again, you had old Prescott with his German bank, and I.G. Farben business associates, much the same as G.H.W. has with his Carlysle [bin Laden] Group of business holdings. Just one big happy family. Oh, and lest we not forget, with mouthpieces the likes of the Dulles brothers, you could literally get away with murder. BTW, why are you wasting your time in D.C. when you seem much better suited for Wall Street? Oh, and I almost left out the old Brown and Root crowd, aka the modern day Halliburton all-purpose ground patrol of mercenary construction and instant home-away-from-home police detail. They're sure raking in the bucks from all the havoc being wreaked in the Middle East. Since when does the U.S. claim the right to eminent domain another country's resources [oil] in the name of that country's democracy. Haven't you ever heard of something called the Geneva Accords? Oh, I forgot. It's probably been declared unconstitutional, by now.

George W Bush and the 14 points of fascism - Project for the OLD ...

14 points of fascism under george bush in the united states wake up and smell ... Further analysis of American Fascism done by the POAC can be read here. ...

www.oldamericancentury.org/14pts.htm

FASCISM

14 Points of fascism

In his original article, "Fascism Anyone?", Laurence Britt (interview) compared the regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet and identified 14 characteristics common to those fascist regimes. This page is a collection of news articles dating from the start of the Bush presidency divided into topics relating to each of the 14 points of fascism. Further analysis of American Fascism done by the POAC can be read here:

1.) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

New Majority Leader: Iraq War “May Be The Greatest Gift That We Give” Our Grandchildren

Headstones of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are inscribed with the Pentagons war-marketing slogans

White House and the RNC are going to make a habit of using uniformed military personnel as props at Republican political rallies, despite the fact that it is a plain violation of military regulations banning politicization of the armed forces.

"You must glorify war in order to get the public to accept the fact that your going to send their sons and daughters to die." The inside story of the cozy relationship between big box office American war movies and the Pentagon

More...

2.) Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights: Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

Bush threatens to veto $442b defense bill if Congress investigates detainee abuses.

Guantanamo Judge: “I don’t care about international law. I don’t want to hear the words ‘international law’ again. We are not concerned with international law.”

3.) Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

More...

4.) Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5.) Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

It's legal again, to fire gov't workers for being gay

The State Department has awarded an explicitly anti-feminist U.S. group part of a US$10 million grant to train Iraqi women in political participation and democracy.

More...

6.) Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7.) Obsession with National Security: Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses

Bush Aides ADMIT 'stoking fear' for political gain: Bush adviser said the president hopes to change the dynamics of the race. The strategy is aimed at stoking public fears about terrorism, raising new concerns about Kerry's ability to protect Americans and reinforcing Bush's image as the steady anti-terrorism candidate, aides said.

The Bush administration periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though then-Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge argued there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level.

8.) Religion and Government are Intertwined: Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9.) Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

The K Street Project is a project by the Republican party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials. It was launched in 1995, by Republican strategist Grover Norquist and House majority leader Tom DeLay.

10.) Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

Labor Department warns unions against using their money politically

President Bush Attacks Organized Labor: Bush attacked organized labor Saturday, issuing orders effectively reducing how much money unions can spend for political activities and opening up government contracts to non-union bidding.

March 2001: President Bush signed his name to four executive orders on organized labor last month, including one that cuts the money unions will have for political campaign spending.

Congress and the Department of Labor are trying to change the rules on overtime pay, eliminating the 40 hour work week, taking eligibility for overtime pay away from millions of workers, and replacing time and a half pay with comp days.

11.) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

12.) Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations

American Gestapo is here: "There is hereby created and established a permanent police force, to be known as the 'United States Secret Service Uniformed Division.'"

America: secret jails, secret courts, secret arrests, and now secret laws

The problem with Gonzales is that he has been deeply involved in developing some of the most sweeping claims of near-dictatorial presidential power in our nation's history, allowing him to imprison and even (at least in theory) torture anyone in the world, at any time

Police officers don't have to give a reason at the time they arrest someone, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a ruling that shields officers from false-arrest lawsuits.

13.) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Conyers hearing in which Clinton Curtis testifies that he was hired to create hackable voting machines

The Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.

The Conyers Report

No explanation for the machines in Mahoning County that recorded Kerry votes for Bush, the improper purging in Cuyahoga County, the lock down in Warren County, the 99% voter turnout in Miami County, the machine tampering in Hocking County

Less access than Kazakhstan. Fewer fail-safes than Venezuela. Not as simple Republic of Georgia.

The 2004 Elections according to international observers.

This picture is what stopped the ballot recounts in Florida shortly after it seemed that legitimate President Gore had a lead. The "citizens" started what was later called "the preppy riot". Screaming, yelling, pounding on the walls, these "outraged citizens" intimidated the polling officials to halt the court mandated recount. A closer look reveals who they really were. They were bussed and flown in at Republican lawmakers expense. Some even flew in on Tom Delay's private plane.

Neo-fascism in America:

Too many people believe fascism is only about goose-stepping, jack-booted Nazis. Too many people believe that American democracy is so strong that fascists could never take control of America. If you are sympathetic to those views, I invite you to consider the possibility that you are mistaken.

It is in times of fascism rising that armies of ignorance are once more resuscitated from the bowels of a society bordering on the edge of mass psychosis. The America at the dawn of the twenty-first century is no exception...

You must be referring to DAVE Perry, the agent. He has been tracking me since

about 1991. In case you don't know, when Gerald Posner was here "researching"

CASE CLOSED, he was Perry's house guest for a week or so. He even brought

the slimeball to the JFK class at UTA. Perry was a college classmate of Gus Russo,

he of "THE CIA CALLS ME GUS" fame, I think at U of Maryland in the DC area.

Slattery can fill you in on the CIA recruiting on college campuses. It is not surprising

that Dave has a website attacking me. He has been on my case more than 15 years.

Apparently he is also assigned to Buell Wesley Frazier.

Who is "Robert Perry"?

Jack

Dave Perry is definately one to avoid at all costs. I had a nasty run in with him a few years ago when I attempted to correct comething on his website. He and McAdams are twins Now Gus Russo, he was good ole Tim Gratz' Favorite person to quote on this case. TG was always giving me s*** for not reading Russo's books. I was onto Russo in the 80's. Another "interesting " Dave is -and I can't spell his last name- "Reitzes" or something to that effect. (No time to look it up in some file here).

Hey BS, why don't you go hang out on those web sites. You'll be among true friends. Of course you will have a ways to go to catch up, but they will be most willing to assist
