prove that 9/11 was an inside job

i really miss being able to talk about politics and everything. But I alienated everyone I know (or they alienated me – not too sure which way it went) over this kind of goal in my real life.

It’s much more testing of one’s beliefs than being a christian could ever be. I feel like I’m seeking personal political asylum sometimes. I spent a really good part of the last two years just thinking about this. I’m not averse to reversing my point of view, god knows I wish I could, because I would think the world a better place.

People you love are hostile to the very idea of it. You’re a ‘conspiracy theorist’. A nutcase. It’s much worse than when you announce you changed religion.

I’d like to hear someone give me a really good argument as to why it wasn’t an inside job. I used to hope – at best – that I was just a crank case. Anyway, I decided I’m not for the time being.

that stupid game today where you put a famous person name on forehead of chosen person and they have to guess who it is.

Let’s just say that out of 15 people in room, only three had even heard of Condoleeza Rice. I despair. I really do.

i am seething. just look at the date on this

Members of the Houma-based 256th Infantry will be returning in October, but it could be much longer before the rest of their equipment comes home.

“You’ve got combatant commanders over there who need it they say they need it, they don’t want to lose what they have, and we certainly understand that it’s a matter it’s a matter of us educating that combatant commander, we need it back here as well,” Col. Schneider said.

Poor Col. Schneider. I guess he tried.

Too sad, too unnecessary.

that Natan Sharansky (the one whose books GWB pushes in his speeches) was one of the last inmates of the gulags. It’s in National Geographic from the better old days of 1990. Reads like a manual for Guantanamo Bay, mind. He certainly wasn’t so well-known then. In it he says of prison life: “The lowest common denominator was hatred of the KGB. Through that we were able to bridge the gaps of our antagonisms”. Well, some things don’t change, do they? Why is hatred such a uniting force?

I don’t know, I just can’t understand universal hatred of Cat Stevens! I do worry about how he’s going to be able to travel once England gets the no-fly list. But I’ll save that for my ‘worrying about strangers’ goal.

And when you think that Condoleeza is so anti-Russia. Are they having a fling or something? Natan, not Cat, I mean.

While I’m in this space, I have to join in the God Bless Cindy movement. May she provide the spark that lights the bonfire that will shed light on this dark passage of civilisation. Someone has to.

Thank You English People!

I realized today that it was the first time in years I wasn’t checking the headlines in case nuclear war had broken out while I was on the loo. And to think I was seriously worried there that you were going to just sit back and say ‘ok, I’ll just go and fork out three hundred quid and get biometriked, and screw the magna carter (cos none of us learnt what that was really about in school, did we?) so I can go sip some beers on the Costa del Sol’.

If anyone hasn’t been following this, and if you’re not interested, close window using the little x in the corner. Wow, I am so happy because the Brits are kicking up a stink about the Brazilian Electrician (I had to capitalize), he really did not die ‘in vain’.

I feel like going to join Galloway and stirring some serious righteous protest while Tones is working on his tan. And to think he used to have some pretty reasonable ideas…I read his manifesto and everything. He seemed like a normal run of the mill not too posh talking oxbridge amateur dramatist moderate economics-dabbling type to me. Throw in a really intelligent wife, modern outlook, kids… he seemed like a safe bet…but oh dear, so influenceable! I’m shocked that he’s sent his son to learn about politics in the Bush adminstration. Talk about Dynasty! Something has gone dreadfully wrong.

All I can hope for is that the money-driven tabloids find out there is more money in exposing the unforgivable foray of this government in to paranoid control-freakery (and that is least of the things I accuse them of) than in perpetrating it.

I just hope pubs in England are all a buzz. I know the village pubs will be…feeling terribly homesick all of a sudden.
