Comments on: UPDATE II: Media’s Sickening Sentimentality On Egypt https://barelyablog.com/medias-sickening-sentimentality-on-egypt/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Myron Pauli https://barelyablog.com/medias-sickening-sentimentality-on-egypt/comment-page-1/#comment-17915 Sun, 20 Feb 2011 05:44:32 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=34917#comment-17915 Mark – the part of the Pearl Harbor theory that has always remained unproven is that the Navy DELIBERATELY stopped a message from warning Pearl Harbor. Knowing how efficiently the Navy acts, let me reassure you that that message is still propagating through the system and will get to warn Hawaii any year now!

The basic premise of Stinett is fine. It is these convoluted conspiracies that I do not buy into.

Then Lara Logan was attacked. We’ve all seen how some American idiots react on the streets when their team loses (or wins!) Yes, Americans can get a bit ugly, too. But I believe most Americans would have stepped in to save Ms. Logan’s life, just as those Egyptian soldiers and a group of women did. I know I would have done so! Trying to shove Americans into the same gutter as all the Muslim countries is just another progressive ploy that they’re wearing out. Progressives are the ones with an unreasonable and destructive agenda. They are the ideological ones, but they won’t rest until they’ve convinced all Americans that we’re just like them. AND WE ARE NOT! A true American patriot doesn’t lie every time he or she opens his or her mouth. A true American patriot has a conscience and is honest and honorable.

As for conspiracies, I recently had a conversation with another WND columnist who adamantly opposed any possibility of a conspiracy within our government. I explained that I actually agreed with him. Most people think “conspiracy” means a bunch of spies and murderous henchmen sneaking around behind our backs, plotting to overthrow our government and our way of life with intrigue and secrecy, when it basically means an agreement between two or more factions to perform an illegal, treacherous or evil act. A conspiracy doesn’t necessarily have to be covert. Obama and his twenty thieves — AKA “czars” — is anything BUT covert in the way they’re destroying our economy and our nation! Obama says whatever he thinks Americans — dumbed-down or otherwise — will believe. All we have to do is watch what he does, NOT listen to what he says, and we’ll be way ahead of the game.

There is no reasonable doubt about this.

In a similar vein, David Griffin has written several books that deal carefully with facts surrounding the 911 murders. Again, Griffin proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that the US government had to be involved.

I suppose Myron would say the the US Government was too stupid to be able to put men on the Moon.

Perhaps there is (an almost unknown in terms of numbers of people of the world) a “Global-Elitist” (behind the scene) Functionary pulling all the strings of “government” for the purpose of “controlling-the-masses” and thus “the world.” There are any number of names we could apply…but basically the Banking-Cartel controlled by a few (namely 12 families)a few would win whichever way it went, and keep the world’s population “fighting” and away from UNITY! Just a Thought!

If I were a “sexist”, I might ask, “how can a woman be so correct?” But
since I’m an “individual-responsibiltist and equal opportunist”, I’ll just
say, “thank you for another well written and thought out article.”

It reminds me of a book Larken Rose wrote/published recently, “The Most
Dangerous Superstition”, where the idea of “authority and government” ARE
the only problems that stifle “Liberty and Justice for ALL!”

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the book, or even if you’d like to be,
but it can be found at: http://www.larkenrose.com

Larken and his wife both spent time in a “Federal-Hotel” for taking a stand
for individual endowments and Liberty.

Thank you again Ilana for your forthrightness and courage of convictions.
Daine

The government that cannot even remove some snow in DC is going to send airplanes into buildings with the location and time of the collisions correlated with pre-planned controlled detonations!

In fact, many events of history (like Pearl Harbor, etc.) are subject to two interpretations: (1) the government is just incredibly incompetant and one hand does not know what the other hand is doing OR (2) the government is extremely competent and deliberately planned and executed an elaborate scheme as IF it were idiotic. I go with # (1).

As always, you have hit the truth right between the eyes. The slavish acceptance of the Nazi-like gropers of the TSA and the “adulation” given to the most dangerous president ever, who is deliberately destroying the US financially proves that we are worse off than Egypt. As to the “conspiracy” of the World Trade Center destruction, simply watch the “controlled” collapse of both towers. Then watch ANY planned demolition of a skyscraper. The similarity is beyond chance. Had the trade center buildings collapsed from the melting steel girders both buildings would have fallen sideways since neither plane hit dead center. Even if they had, the collapse wouldn’t have been so perfectly vertically “controlled.” With that said, there is still no doubt the aircraft hijacking and attacks were carried out by Islamic Terrorists. The sad truth, is that even before the Bush regime was elected, the FBI KNEW that Islamics were taking large jet aircraft training without wanting to learn to land them. Wouldn’t ya THINK that might be suspicious??

The U.S. erects a garrison, Soviet-style surveillance welfare state, while the sheep practically beg for their chains.

On the current path, it’s impossible for this experiment to end well, but we’ll still encourage other countries to join us on the road to regulatory democracy hell.

There’s a real disconnect “out there”. I recall Tea Party protest signs in my town along the lines of “Cut taxes and Spending” juxtaposed with “Hands off my Social Security and Medicare”.

Could it be many Americans are more in love with the idea of liberty than actually living it?
