Golly! Lolly!

Why is the U.S. so intent on space exploration and yet only minimally concerned about pollution and the ozone layer here on earth? Do they know something that we (the common, international man) don’t know? Are they (the wealthy ones) getting ready to bail out - leaving the rest of us on earth to suffocate to death?

Who are the ones who’re polluting the earth, anyway. Certainly not me or my next-door neighbour. No. We’re interested in alternative fuels and less warfare. We’re perfectly happy to take the bike to work, with or without a raincoat. We don’t want our children to go off to war and we know that if we share the wealth (and the burden) that we’ll do pretty well for ourselves – as long as the Americans aren’t over here telling us what to think and from where the next threat will be coming.

And why is it that the U.S. is always telling us who to fear, when (the truth be told) I’ve never experienced any “direct” threat from anyone other than the United States, since the end of WWII. I don’t mean that Stalin and his cohorts weren’t down-right nasty and dangerous, and that the U.S. weren’t the “good guys” during the two World Wars. No. I’m just saying that since the end of the Second World War the U.S. hasn’t proven itself to be any less evil than the “Global Soviet Threat”. And while we’re on the subject, daily events have proven that the U.S. were NOT so goody-goody after all and now that the Soviet Union is kaput, it is the U.S. who‘s taken on the cape of deceit and treachery. Without the once established East/West balance of world domination, the true colours of the U.S. are becoming more apparent. I suppose that they’ve got no-one to answer to, and that explains whey they’ve so blatantly thumbed their noses at the U.N. - time and time again.

The Soviet Union was a threat to the world in that they practiced something nowhere near what the founders of communism had envisioned for the populations of the world. In other words it did not follow the righteous philosophy of founding communist principles any more than the U.S. adheres to good, solid, capitalist principles. The Untied States won the war of the Titans but she does not represent sound capitalist principles any more than the Soviet Union represented communism based upon Karl Marx. What the majority of the world was left with (at the end of the Second World War), was a split between non-communism and non-capitalism – both corruptions of two, well-meaning ideologies.

The “majority” of Arab nations are a clump of pathetic, down-trodden, ignoramuses - misusing the earth and blaming all their problems on “infidels” and anyone whose got ten cents more than they. But in the end, the rest of the world will have to join forces with these Arabs because if we wait until they’ve been beaten into the dust, the Americans will eventually be knocking on the door of the rest of us with the same message; “Give us a monopoly on your wealth and your resources or we’ll invest vast fortunes to destroy your lives and your democratic government, just as we did in Iran.”

Golly! Lolly!

I should never have posted this thread while I had a headache.

I see that I hurriedly sent the thing off without controlling what I wrote. I have no idea what “sound capitalist principles” are. I meant to write “sound democratic principles”. Actually, I doubt if I know anything about capitalism so even where I wrote “non-communism and non-capitalism” I should have written “non-communism and non-democratic”.

I see that no-one’s replied to this thread anyway so either you think I really know what I’m talking about and I’m too dangerous to tangle with - or that I’m a complete idiot who shouldn’t be rattled! :o

Have you ever read the Report from Iron Mountain?

Golly! Lolly!

Have you ever read the Report from Iron Mountain?No. But I'll see what I can find on the Internet. Will I regret it?

Well, I doubt if there will be any regret. Not like the regret from reading The Franklin Coverup. The story is that the report was put together from a presidential order to so called experts on economics and industry. The question was what will happen if peace breaks out, as far as the economy and political control goes. The story also includes a spiracy, as we all love a good spiracy. Supposedly when this report got into the hands of some national guardsmen, they kept copies when all copies had been ordered returned as they should never have seen the report, it was for higher ups only. If it's a fake, it's a darn good one...

That's an overview of, not the actual "report."

Golly! Lolly!

OK. So I haven’t read the report but now I’ve read a summary that I found on the Internet. Hmmm. It actually sound feasible. It would certainly explain much of what the U.S. has been up to. Using the report probably wouldn’t hold up in a court of law as justification for what’s been going on but so far there isn’t such a court to judge such a crime.

Of course, it could be a hoax - but my money’s on the report. After all, acording to what I read, the president’s first respose was to “play it down”. That sounds to me like an admition to the fact. It was only later that the government called it a “hoax”. It’s like Sherlock Holmes said, “When your theory fits ALL the facts then it must be true, no matter how unlikely it may seem”.

True about theory and fact, but when one applies for research grants, when the results don't follow theory, the results must be wrong.
