Shift, my respect for you is fading quickly. Don't be such a moron:
About mad cow, no instances of CJD have occured after 2000 and "catching on" in Europe. No new Mad Cow has occured since 2000 in Europe. We've had foot and claw, but thats completely different.
"The "Mad Cow" story here is yet to begin but don't worry, the fruited gelatin deserts are safe." Wow, 3 years after that quote a single instance of mad cow occurs. How psychic of him. And that last part of the sentence is just vague crap that allows you to interpret this quote any way you like, he's just adding a disclaimer.
Does the current relationship between Arabs and Jews have anything to do with the coming war?
Real disruptions in world events begin with the destabilization of the West as a result of degrading US foreign policy and consistency.
I'm glad to see it's so easy for to dismiss the Middle East. Yes, I suppose it is a no brainer but pretty soon it will be a "no arrmer" and a "no legger".
------------------------
Are you really surprised to find out that Iraq has nukes now or is that just BS to whip everyone up into accepting the next war?
If you read JT's philosophies you'd notice he's read lots of progressive political literature (Chomsky, Parenti, Zinn, etc.) and all he's doing is taking stuff which people don't hear on TV (due to all media being owned by corporations with close ties to US gov't) and selling it through a fvcking "timetravel" tale. Him seeing trouble between the Arabs and Jews is NOTHING special. In case you are short of memory, let me clue you in, the war between Palestinians and Israelis has been raging on steadily for years and countless Middle-Eastern nations have poor relationships with the US due to this. Now, "degrading US foreign policy and consistency" means jack sh!t. US foreign policy, however, has been criticized by the left to the right (not the middle, they're too busy getting campaign contributions) as resulting in "Blowback," which is a CIA term for negative consequences as a result of US foreign policy. Read the book Blowback by Chalmers Johnson. Furthermore, the West is not destabilized at all. We took an economic hit, but this war is what Bush has been wanting. The war in Iraq has been pushed for in the US since 88 and companies like UnoCal have been begging to take over Afghanistan for more than a decade. If you read the
Project for a New American Century's "Rebuilding America's Defenses" an Oct. 99 publication (signed by GHW Bush, Jeb Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Armitage, etc.), you notice they call for a war in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan. About the "dismiss" part, that makes litttle sense. The gov't has never dismissed the Middle-East, our media simply doesn't cover it, and his pun says nothing not already stated in the previos paragraphs. The last quote is so unoriginal if you've read "Rebuilding America's Defenses," since that document encourages the US gov't to highlight WMD projects in Iraq (whether extant or extinct) and use that to rally support. Next!
When the civil "conflict" started and got worse, people generally decided to either stay in the cities and lose most of their civil rights under the guise of security or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas.
----------------------
Will you readily be able to identify the enemy?
They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process.
-----------------
You must realize that why people are fighting is more important that what they are fighting with. The conflict was not about taking and holding ground it was about order and rights. They were betting that people wanted security instead of freedom and they were wrong.
Homie, no diaspora of citizens going for rural areas has yet to occur and people have been fretting about losses in Civil Liberties since Clinton got in office. There declassified US documents asking for greater federal powers that date to as early as 86. And to that last sentence, they were betting people wanted security instead of freedom and they were wrong, so his people offed all the gov't and teamed up with the Russkies to kill all the people in the cities simply because they "bet wrong"? This guy is full of sh!t. Furthermore, you have not supplied any dates with these quotes.
