Gullible moron, or critical thinker?
OK guys, here's the steaming poop. Unfortunately, it looks like message boards and populist content on the Internet have ruined me for a while.

I am convinced of the following things.

1. George W. Bush is part of a murderous kleptocracy that willingly killed thousands of his own citizens by purposefully engineering the attacks on the WTC in order to implement a fascist state in the US.

2. My tax dollars go to fund death squads in central america, the middle east, and africa. These death squads kill many thousands of people in order to enrich bankers and industrialists here in the US.

3. Peak oil will soon be the death of many of us here in the US, and God help those poor unfortunates cursed with living on land endowed with petroleum products.

4. Having recently discovered the origins of the Federal Reserve Bank I have come to believe that manipulation in the financial markets could well destroy the value of everything my family has built up for generations. We are not landowners, we own financial assets. Not much, but something. This will disappear somehow. So will the pensions, social security system, and financial fiat money supply in the US.

5. The global US empire has all the moral authority of the Nazi regime. It's acutally the continuation of the Nazi regime, if you follow the money from IBM and Prescott Bush to the current standard-bearers.

OK, that said, is my tinfoil had adjusted for maximum reception of alien 20's style death rays? Was 9-11 our Reichstag fire? Is Noam Chomsky a prophet, historian, or a fool?

Before getting my news from the Net, I used to watch sitcoms on TV, crack a beer now and then, and go to the mall for entertainment on a Saturday afternoon. Life was good.

1. They'll never win
They failed in 1874, they failed in 1918, they failed in 1945, and they'll fail again.

They never manage to complete the takedown; their killshot misses the mark; their endgame unravels, and their invocation of the Apocalypse does not gain them the conversation of The Beast, but the ridicule of Humanity.

Even Noam gets a few of them wrong every now and then; but the princes and principalities of Hell get none of them right.

Ever.
