"Torture Will Test Obama's Idealism"

MSM, narrowing your world. Should be a new slogan.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/4550138/The-use-of-torture-will-test-Barack-Obamas-idealism.html

Premise 1: Obama is an idealist 'good guy'.
Premise 2: Obama is stopping torture.
Premise 3: Torture is effective.
Premise 4: Torture is necessary.
Premise 5: Terrorism is not secret service/government-sponsored.

All of the above is of course false. Obama is no idealist. Torture is continuing, only not at Guantanamo. Torture was abandoned centuries ago because it didn't yield anything worthwhile. Thus, even if there was a real outside terrorist threat torture would not be necessary or useful. Most of the terrorism in the West has been government-sponsored.

But, do you see the false debate this article creates in your mind? Do you even realise it programs you to consider arguments for and against torture, when governments pre-9/11 had abandoned torture because it is useless? (Not just this article or this paper, the entire MSM, especially TV news; but this is a good example of 'psych-warfare'.)

And, since you are thinking about whether torture is right or wrong (lol), you aren't thinking about who benefited from 9/11, or whether empire-building should continue, or whether the criminal central banks should control the issue of money, or whether the banking mafias are setting up a one world police state.

So, is the writer idealistic, or just a globalist new world order shill? Take your pick.

9/11: Freudian Slip #3

Rumsfeld said that Flight 93 was 'shot down', Bush said that the terrorists planted explosives in the WTC, now Tim Roemer of the 9/11 Commission can't decide whether the Pentagon was struck by a plane or a 'missile'.

The first 30 seconds are of Roemer on CNN. What follows are 'wtf' sayings of Bush, Rumsfeld, a clip of four 9/11 First Responders discussing the collapse of the WTC, and a Fox News interview at (according to the official story) the crash site of Flight 93.



Whoops! You're supposed to toe the official line, guys! It's unacceptable to lend credance to the 'outrageous conspiracy theories' which Bush says we must not tolerate...

What I think should also have been included was the Fox News clip in which the reporter says that the surrounding area following the Pentagon strike smelt of cordite - the signature component of military ordnance. That is part of Loose Change: Final Cut.

Also, if there is tons of other footage available of the Pentagon impact, why not release it and prove your point, Powers That Be? Unless you have something to hide, of course...

One thing I agree with the 'debunkers' of 9/11 alternetive theories on, is the incompetence of the Bush administration. I mean, no matter what the truth is about 9/11, these quotes demonstrate either blind stupidity, a Freudian slip, or an insult to the intelligence of the people.

Apocalypse Soon?

One of the illogical things about us humans is that, while we have built tremendous infastructure and 'civilisation', we have a morbid fascination with society being destroyed. In a way, we like to hear about times when the rules don't apply and anarchy occurs.

Extending that concept from war, to all anarchic situations (where society and rule of law doesn't apply) such as natural disasters, terrible epidemics, stalking killers, alien invasion, and of course zombies, you can see how we are all interested in asking ourselves, 'how would we cope with the test'?

(Image: Here for no reason whatsoever other than that I liked both this and 28 Months Later.)

We write stories about them. We watch films, read books, and play games about them. We even pay close attention to potential real future anarchic situations. But would we really want these things to happen? Maybe the quote above explains the answer, that those of us who have not experienced a survival situation perhaps in some way want to be in one. But I don't have dozens of veterans, survivalists and natural disaster survivors to ask for verification.

I guess we are obsessed with apocalyptic scenarios because we are all animals. Our natural habitat is woodland, jungle, desert, plains etc. But most of us live in a world far removed from the settings we evolved/were designed for. (see? Open-minded on theories of human origin!)

Paved streets, central heating, street lighting at night, and TV - these are the modern human's habitat. So perhaps we would be naturally inclined to take an interest in possible situations where anarchy takes over and we have to survive, like we are all born prepared to do.

Will Yellowstone erupt, covering the entire northern hemisphere in ash? Will a mysterious zombie outbreak force us to reach for our shotguns? Will there be a satanical New World Order to fight? The answer is: maybe, but not right now. (except Yellowstone, which experts say will erupt someday, but we don't know when.) But we will keep telling stories about such things, and as the Boy Scouts say, 'Be prepared'.
