“We'll see if this will indeed be a jury trial according to the constitution and the rule of law or a government show trial-something certainly possible even though done in an established civilian court of law, seeing as these people have already been officially convicted by POTUS, Holder, and the "official narrative" of 9/11
It's interesting that the Nuremberg trials are invoked as these themselves were pretty much show trials, with little respect for rules of evidence, an adequate defense for the accused, the lack of cross examination, the acceptance of affidavits (which cannot be cross examined) as iron clad evidence, as well as the use of torture led, of course, to the execution of victor's justice.
Perhapds KSM will enlighten us as to how his troglodyte cohorts planted unexploded nano-thermite, a weapons grade explosive in the Twin Towers and WTC-7, causing the pulverization of the former and the controlled demolition of the latter, or how they performed their magical feats of aviation, baffled NORAD, and overpowered dozens of passengers and well trained flight crews with box cutters.”

“Things like freedom of movement and the recognition of inalienable rights are, tragically, rarities in the history of the world. The U.S. regime and its client/sidekick /partner in crime preach tirelessly about respect for human rights, the enjoyment of freedom, and being beacons of democracy-which of course, in translation is rendered human rights to be violated and supressed, freedom to make war, and a beacon illuminating hypocrisy and double standards in a so called "democracy".”

“The right to whine party is out in full force, and now the House has officially CONDEMNED the Goldstone Report! Of course, members with integrity like Rep. Kucinich, Rep. Paul and a handful of others-36, I believe, voted against this resolution-in the face of all the cajoling, threats to be labelled "anti-semite", etc.-a now hackneyed term which is wearing thinner than old corduroy now, divested as it is of any true reference to political reality.
The world long ago woke up from its "dogmatic slumbers" vis a vis Palestine-the question is, will the U.S. join the growing world consensus, and become a true and impartial force for peace, or retrench itself even further as a champion of agression, oppression and injustice? I fear that that question can be too easily answered.”

“This story fits LBJ's character perfectly-the man who hated the Kennedys with a passion, especially Bobby-and knew that RFK was going to go after him for the years of graft, fraud and murder in Texas, that had made LBJ one of the most powerful politicians in American history, and also one of the biggest crooks ever to occupy the oval office-democrat or republican.
LBJ may very well have known of the plot in advance, and upon learning that his longtime friend and political associate, John Connally, had been gravely wounded, concluded that he himself was a target as well.”

“You may or may not like Pat Buchanan, but he was right about "Homeland Security"-what the hell are we paying the DOD a trillion plus dollars a year to do?”

“"Unique at the time...helped facilitate their collapse..." What collapse? There was no "collapse"-the Twin Towers exploded outward and were, for the most part, converted into fine powder, except for the steel support (including the massive interior core columns) which experienced universal failure-why weren't the core columns still standing?”

“You are right about the "collective trauma" caused by the events of September 11, which is what the authors of the attacks no doubt wanted. However, given the implausibility of the official government sponsored narrative-that 19 Arabs schooled in the wilds of Afhanistan and with little pilot training managing to perform superhuman feats of aviation, outwit NORAD, cause the disintegration of two of the worlds tallest and most resilient steel reinforced structures via hydrocarbon based fires, the controlled demolition of a third large steel reinforced skyscraper, and defeat the air and local defense systems of the most heavily guarded building-it is imperative that there be a new, impartial and forensic investigation, as opposed to the "9/11 Commission" whose whitewashing made Tom Sawyer look like a piker.”

“I agree totally with the article-but it is ludicrous, absurd, maniacal, incredible that someone has to actually defend an unarmed woman crushed to death by a bulldozer in an act of civil disobedience.
It shows what a sorry, cowardly, treasonous venal and sordid lot the American congress (with those few noble exceptions), the MSM, the State Department, and the Armageddonite pseudo-christians, ADL (apostles of tolerance that from every other angle looks like ethno-centric hatred) AIPAC and any other American who, in their abject and miserable double standard world view, pontificate on human rights violations in Tianamen Square, Sudan and Tehran, yet reserve their blindness, moral cowardice and outrageous double standards for a vicious brutal act of state sponsored murder.”

“Of course, in the Bush lexicon, "public service" means that the public serves the Bushes.”

“This memory erasure seems to work quite well for "journalists" of the MSM, who have had all memories of 2003, WMD's, Saddam Hussein and imminent threats wiped so clean from their minds that they are having to create new such memories about Iran.”

“Texting kind of reminds me of what Ralph Waldo Emerson said a telegraph line was installed along the eastern seabord. "Maine can now talk to Florida," Emerson was told. The sage of Concord replied, "Yes, but does Maine have anything to say to Florida?"
As far as texting, twittering or the next step-"chat­tering"-by­passing writing completely? A ton of aluminum cans is not worth one pound of gold.”

“It is supremely ironic, but it appears that the only way to keep peace in the region is for the Iranians to actually develop nukes (which there is virtually no evidence that they are doing) as this would render any attack by Israel or even the U.S. a non-starter. You see, the biggest bully on the block and the biggest bully on the planet only pick fights with weaker countries armed with toothless and obsolete military hardware, or virtually no military hardware at all, as in Gaza.”

“It's obvious that most of the posters here have caught on to the fact (graciously ignored by the MSM) that this whole manufactured crisis is not really about non-proliferation, U.N. resolutions, defending Europe from Iranian missiles (that's a real laugh), securing regional "stability" or "world peace".
Fact is, it's a pretty transparent psyop to get the public ready for yet another war of choice, and this time, to secure the PNAC dream of making Israel the unchecked hegemon in the greater Middle East. Question is, will those Americans who will in all likelihood be asked to sacrifice their blood, or the blood of their loved ones to further the aggrandizement of a foreign power wake up before history repeats itself in an even more ugly and homicidal fashion?”

“Those who do not suffer from short term memory loss (2003 is relatively a short time ago) need to keep pointing out that all the hype, fear mongering and blatant, crude propaganda regarding Iran's phantom nuclear menace is mainly to achieve the goal of complete Israeli hegemony in the greater Middle East. Regime change (if it were to occur) would no doubt result in some collateral oil and strategic base benefits, but the overarching purpose of this whole black psy-op charade is to remove the last major hindrance to greater Israel. As unpalatable a mental image as this may be, the emperor has no clothes on.”

“None, obviously. If Iran did not have secret facilities built into mountansides, then their leaders should have their heads examined, considering what happened to Iraq's Osirak reactor. Most likely it was a backup reactor just in case there were strikes on the larger and well known (low) enrichment facilities. Iran's quest for a civilian nuclear power program is treated like a crime, while Israel's illegal (in the sense of "outlaw") arsenal is at the same time, universally acknowledged and unanimously ignored.”

“Iran now plays the indispensable role of international pariah, because it "might" have a secret nuclear weapons program. A "secret" reactor inside a mountain makes eminent sense in light of what happened to the Iraqi reactor at Osirak. This is really a wonderful set of international laws: "if you don't have nukes, you may not, under any circumstances, develop them. If you give even the remotest appearance of trying to acquire them, you will be punished, and possibly suffer shock and awe. If you succeed in developing nukes illegaly, however, you have several options: you can menace your neighbors with the threat of nuclear annihilation (a la Israel, Pakistan, India), you can bluster, threaten, back off and cash in (North Korea) or you can make a deal and get even more cash (Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, Lybia, etc.). However, this only works if you, as a nation, succeed before getting caught. And if you're the first nation to develop such weapons, you can actually use them!"
This is de facto international law.”

“You might want to start the ball rolling with this: "How is it that a potential, entirely hypothetical nuclear weapons program for which there is virtually no hard evidence (in this case, Iran's) is more of a danger to the 'world' than Israel's own illegal and undeclared arsenal of circa 200 nuclear warheads?"”

“How could a country that has invaded Lebanon twice in the last 30 years be considered its enemy?
I mean, the Israelis have enough trouble on their hands, what with threatening Iran with preemptive nuclear strikes, blasting the population of Gaza back to the stone age, expelling local Arabs from their homes to make way for the settlements, and suborning the U.S. congress for more handouts from U.S. taxpayers-to be able to conduct another invasion of Lebanon this year.
When will this peace loving nation ever get a break from its neighbors, whose only aim is to drive it into the sea?”

“The progressive agenda has been hijacked by an excessive and morbid interest in the "teabaggers" when the real enemy of economic progress in America is and always has been the corporate control of both major political parties economic agendas, via keeping the national debate within the limits of "acceptable" paradigms, which are rigidly enforced by the corporate MSM.
The "death panel" theme served as a media ploy to keep the viewing public's attention on issues like euthanasia, end of life counseling and assisted suicide (which are certainly important and pressing issues, yet have very little to do with a public option) and off of things like the insurance industry's control of congress and the health industry and the fundamental issue of whether health care is a basic human right or a brokered commodity.
The pauperization of the American middle and working classes has been a bi-partisan endeavor, with Republicans throwing the American economy down the well, while Democrats throw it a frayed life-line; hopefully Americans will start to cast party labels aside and demand an end to blind partisanship in their elected representatives. The greatest danger to representative government in America now rests with the central committee of the GOP and the DNC and DLC.”

“The 19 Arabs trained in the wilds of Afghanistan managed to:

Thwart airport security (not so difficult)

Subdue dozens of passengers as well as disabling well trained flight crews using box cutters (extremely unlikely)

Successfully defeat NORAD, the most sophisticated air defense command in the world, while at the same time the amateur pilots, one of whom could barely fly a Cessna (Hanni Hanjour), according to his flight instructor, performed feats of aviation that would have made the great Waldo Pepper blush with envy, including the virtually (humanly) impossible maneuver of hard banking, flying a 757 at treetop level over a freeway and into the Pentagon in the section that was undergoing revovation at the time, as well as baffling the building's local missile defense.

Have the foreknowledge that, while the impact of the passenger jets on WTC 1 and 2 would probably not be enough to result in their collapse, that the hydrocarbon office fires caused by the jet fuel would weaken the structural steel of the steel trusses and the gigantic interior core columns to the point not only of universal failure where the buildings would virtually explode outward with practically all their concrete being turned into dust-as well as causing the controlled demolition of another huge skyscraper (not hit by a plane) 600 yards away

After surviving the crashes, stick around to plant active nano-thermite particles in the dust.

Atheist Maher needs Deus ex machina to come to the rescue of this "religulous" tale”

“Like you own history because you are not a revisionist? What are you going to replace with the "Irish Catholic" connection? The ganja-Rastafarian connection?”

“Yeah, I guess only Israel has the right to defy and fool the IAEA.”

“Since the IAEA has come to the conclusion, along with the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, that there is no hard evidence that Iran is conducting a nuclear weapons program, secret or otherwise.
The Iranian regime may be unpalatable to some, but certainly less so to most of the world's inhabitants, than the rabid fascist rogue nuclear armed -to- the- teeth regime in Israel, whose apologists would like nothing more to drag the U.S. into a war with Iran, thus removing the last real impediment to Israeli hegemony in the region.
Most of the world (outside the suborned U.S. congress and the pinheads of MINITRUE, U.S.A . VERSION) know this is the cold hard fact of the matter.”

“I remember once, when Winston Churchill was served vanilla pudding for dessert, he turned the dish away. "It has no character," remarked the PM.
David Broder is the vanilla pudding of journalism. I can't remember ever reading a column of his that spouted anything but caution, conformity, adherence to conventional wisdom, middle of the road nothingism. It's clear his allegience is to elected officials regardless of party, to Washingtonian business as usual, to not rocking the boat. Ptolemy made the earth the center of the universe; Broder makes Washington insiderism and its continuity its raison d'etre.”

“Buchanan simply relates these relevant facts:

That the treaty of Versailles was a vicious, shameful and revanchist document, forced on the German people at the point of a gun, leading to humiliation, occupation, starvation and annexation of German lands, ( and which the U.S. Senate to its credit, refused to ratify) without which the Nazis would most likely have never come to power

That Hitler did not desire war with Western Europe, especialy Great Britain, which he regarded as a potential ally in his planned war against Eastern Europe and the Bolshevik empire-there were no realistic Nazi plans to conquer the "world", as the Kriegsmarine was too small to even conquer Great Britain, and the Luftwaffe's main mission was not "strategic bombing" (initiated by the British) but support of ground combat operations

The German Reich had sought a modus vivendi with the Polish government, and the demands made on the Poles were less onerous than those made to Czechoslov­akia-namel­y, the return of the German city of Danzig and the opening of a corridor between that city and East Prussia

That the chief impediment to the Polish government reaching an agreement with Germany was the British government's foolish guarantee of intervention on behalf of Poland should Germany attack her-which HMG's government must have known was a foolish gamble as there would be no way whatsoever for Britain to come to the aid of Poland”
