		<description>Comrades,

Forget about this Chief Propagator! We must focus on ABCâ€™s â€œThe Path to 9/11â€ 

These traitors at ABC are betrayers of our new mother land. Where I come from, this Robert A. Iger would be dragged through the streets in front of the tomb of our glorious leader Vladimir Lenin and shot in public. The producers, directors, writers and anyone associated with this propaganda would be picked up in the early hours of the morning by our State Security Chief Lavrenty Beria (The Black Hand) and taken to a Siberian labor camp never too be heard from again.

For many years I have been loyal to ABC and the Pravda (truth) that our Socialist Liberal ally has put forth in order to progress our ultimate goal; the decline and absolute destruction of America and the capitalist traitorous pigâ€™s like ABC.

I ask you Mr. Robert A. Iger, â€œHave you no shame Sirâ€?

Comrades, we must not give up the fight. It has taken us many years to groom you and your elected leaders.

Remember what our great leader Nikita Khrushchev said:

â€œ We can&#039;t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism &quot;

Itâ€™s more important now then ever before that we stand together and stay focused!  We can not allow this abomination of propaganda to go forward.

We must do whatever it takes to keep this film from airing on Sunday the 10th, 2006, we only have a few hours left.

It is your duty as loyal Liberal Socialist Democrats to rise up in solidarity and put a stop to this immediately!

Senator Harry Reid, one of our courageous and distinguished Senatorial leaders from the state of Nevada, reminded the capitalist traitorous pigs at ABC of their license from the FCC.  Please Senator Reid, weâ€™re your loyal comrades in arms and begging you to use all the glorious power you possess.  You must stop this film!  You must push forward with an iron fist and crush this despicable display of propaganda.

If this film isnâ€™t stopped from airing on ABC, Sunday night, Iâ€™m afraid all our efforts since the cold war and the aspirations of our great leaders from glorious years past and Nikita Khrushchevâ€™s dreams and predictions will have been lost.

If we loose now, the great Liberal Socialist Democratic Party, we have nurtured, will decline into the ash heaps of history never too be heard from again. 

You must!.... I repeat, you must contact our comrades in arms at their offices in Washington.

Now Iâ€™ve done all the work all you have to do is contact our comrades below by e-mail or call:

		<description>I&#039;ll wait for the mini-series  (hopefully by Mitchell Hurwitz &quot;Arrested Development).  I sure hope it includes a full list of characters...making a mockery of the country...you know...a reality based dark comedy.  I just hope they will have it produced illegally out of China...with subtitles in every middle easter language, and spanish! Maybe the royalties could be waived by the politicians in effort to rebuild thier biggest &quot;backyard&quot; disgrace...Katrina.

One thing for sure...we&#039;re gonna have a bumper crop of Opium on the streets by Christmas!

		<description>Title suggestion:

DICK DRILLS (only for oil)

Anyway if you stab a neoCON don&#039;t ya know they do not bleed? Oil runs in them there veins. And Cheneys pacemaker looks like an oil derrick. To keep that black oily heart a pumpin.

Pity Cheney will not be close to their next synthetic terror. Otherwise maybe the EMP would finally put an end to that pacemaker.

And no doubt this work of fiction will be filled with official lies about 911. I will not buy this load of BS lies. Neither will I waste a moment of mt life reading it. I hope no does. It should flop like every other PR that has fallen apart at the seams. Lies are no foundation to construct anything.

Liars all serve only the father of all lies. No NeoCON serves God. They are todays Pharisees.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I wouldnâ€™t pay even half a cent to read about Cheney. His actions speak so much louder than words. Look at the country, look at the world. 

Comment by Druthers &lt;/i&gt;

You don&#039;t have to.  Just go to your local library and check the book out.  Hayes won&#039;t get a penny of your money, and if the library gets an NSA letter, the records will show that you check out books by &quot;good conservatives&quot;.</description>

		<description>This is a long list of comments, but only two commentors have actually seen the truth.
That Bush, Chenny et al are traitors working for a foreign &quot;Government&quot; (the house of Saud) and other interest (Secret corporate Government).
Judging their performance only on the War, is diverting attention from the overall removal of the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, honor, human decency, etc. What they have done during their reign has always been serious &amp; intentional, using &amp; accepting or even concidering as valid, the concepts of mistake, wrong decision, misguided, is a way of excusing their actions &amp; our own inactions &amp; deniel of personal reponsibility.
This Nation is only the product of our collective actions &amp; in actions, each of us is guilty of allowing this real tragedy to occur. 
We should have done MORE! 
Living in a blue state is frustrating, it&#039;s the RED states that we failed because it&#039;s taken so long for them to see what we knew. Let us get them to see how to bring this ship of state back closer to what we could have been.
Impeach the whole vile Administration, then put them all on trial for being traitors, coconspirators &amp; foreign agents.
They planned &amp; allowed 9/11 as a sideshow for their circus of mis direction &amp; deception.
That is the revolution we are due.</description>

		<description>Imadine for a moment that the everything you hear and see is simply theater that uses the lives of innocent people as their pawns to make it reality to all the observers. You are all pawns controlled by fear and media manipulation guided by your emotions and trust that the people writing the scrpt have your best interest in mind.

Your government has had a leash on Saddam since he was put into office.... he was rewarded for his loyalty with power and wealth.... but it was your government and London pulling the strings.

Watch the documentary.... &quot;Iran, the next Iraq?&quot; and you tell me what Saddam was doing pulling his forces out of Iran in 1979 after it was evident that he had won the war... tell me why England did not send forces to Iran to help protect the oil fields that Saddam was trying to take over.... oil fields that were owned by England. 

Think about what happened to oil prices during that period..... Revelation.... it wasn&#039;t about taking the oil fields.... it was about creating scarcity..... raising prices that would never return to pre-scarcity levels.... Think about who would benefit from these elevated oil prices and who it would hurt.... 

it&#039;s a very easy play and it can be done over and over because we never question the perpetraitors. And the people who manipulate these events make money on the way in and the way out. 

We are going to send Saddam into Iran.... buy oil futures and military stock.... we are going to send Saddam out.... buy put options. 

Every country that profits from oil is a player.... the people are of little consequence.

Have you ever thought about the key things you would need to control the world.....

I&#039;ll start you off...... 1. Controlled Media</description>

Ignore them, and concentrate on getting our like-minded friends and colleagues to the voting booth. If we had done so in 2000, 2002 or 2004, Exley might be Cheney&#039;s valet at Halliburton right now.</description>

		<description>Notice how Exley commented on #26 but not #27, and STILL has nothing to say on how the CHIMPEROR sez there was NUTTN&#039; to connect Saddam, Iraq and 9/11.

Anyhoo, I hope the butt-puppet &quot;biographer&quot; includes how a DRUNK Cheney blasted his elderly friend in the face because he is so inept with a gun...and is such a DEPENDS-wearing wuss he didn&#039;t allow Iraqis to even hold empty guns during the photo op lie on how Iraqis are ready to take ov er their own security.  He had them hold their arms out as if holding guns, but it was all just pretend because they don&#039;t make the Depends absorbent enough to hold Dick&#039;s chicken hawk piss in his pants.</description>

		<description>What does any of this incessant babbling mean? Nearly 300 posts from those just willing enough to spat 50 treasonous thought bubbles out onto the World Wide Web. We are a country of blood-thirsty murders run by the extreme right, because theyâ€™re motivated enough to get off their asses and generate millions in soulless cash rather than whimper under a jargon-soaked moniker. Money controls the people and until we, the free-thinking utopian hopefuls, actually take action to hinder such monstrosities, we are nothing more than a tax-paying zombie contributing to the compiling wrongful deaths on foreign soil. Cheney is a cog, his novel will be widely discredited, but his legacy will be that of a gleaming patriot, unless anything is done.

		<description>Exley..............
1) Grab thighs tightly
2) pull with neck and upper back muscles
3) Ease your head out of your sphincter

911 was an inside Job, orchestrated by the PNAC Cabal. The new Pearl Harbor. 
WTC 7 collapsed, perfectly, minimal fires, no structural damage, yet it collapses perfectly. Bombs brought down 1 and 2, news reports, fire and police official reported this.  watch Loose Change, or many other documentaries, on our self inflicted wound.

911 was so tied to Iraq, the sheeple that love Lord Bush, actually think Saddam was flying the planes. 

Colin Powell in March 2001, said saddam was no threat at all, Condi Rice in April 2001, echoed the same sentiment.....

Iraq is a mistake and its time for the administrations apologists to open their eyes, and see that. 

A FACT, the FBI hasnt updated Usama&#039;s wanted poster to include 911, why? THEY HAVE NO PROOF that ties him to the attacks, weird huh

We need to wake up, 911 was an attack on us, by our government...</description>

		<description>Jeff,
You rather offhandly mentioned in an earlier post that &quot; It originated from Robert Scheer who was fired for his shody journalism.&quot;  Now, you know that the LA Times (Jerrery M. Johnson, who assumed his post, Publisher President and CEO, 5 months previous to the firing) never said publicly why he removed Robert Scheer&#039;s column, nor did they say why he pulled Michael Ramirez&#039; satirical cartoons 2 days later.  In your mind you may want to think that he was let go because of &quot;shoddy journalism&quot;, but that is not the truth.  The truth is you don&#039;t know why he was let go, and you decide to smear his professional skills.
Sad, sad, sad...</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Can anybody give me a logical argument why Jimmy Carter would work with Islamic Jihadists elements in Afghanistan but Saddam wouldnâ€™t?
Comment by Moderate-Independent â€” August 29, 2006 @ 1:31 am&lt;/i&gt;

Carter diverted funds to the Taliban (then part of the Afghan Mujahideen) back in the 1980s. when the US was bent on giving the USSR her own Vietnam. To show you how things change, back then &lt;i&gt;jihad&lt;/i&gt; was good because it was directed at the Soviet evil empire, and the US did negotiate with terrorists because they were &quot;freedom fighters&quot;. But I digress. The Mujahideen took the money because, although they were not in love with Americans, they liked the Soviets even less. Once the Soviets were kicked out, the Taliban set out to make their dream come true: A true Islamic Republic. A theocracy. Too bad for them American money stopped flowing.

Saddam on the other hand, had no such use for a bunch of Afghan country bumpkins, who were not half a world away (unlike the US) but in his own back yard, and were religious fanatics to boot. From all the things I&#039;ve read, the Taliban (and their proteges AlQaeda) had a political/religious goal completely incompatible with Hussein&#039;s -whom they despised for being secular. Exactly why they wouldn&#039;t cooperate is still a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein_and_al-Qaeda#Questions_about_the_plausibility_of_the_link&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;matter of speculation&lt;/a&gt;. I suspect geographic proximity might have had played a role. but whatever the ultimate reason, fact remains they didn&#039;t. And that&#039;s what counts.</description>
