My fellow Americans. I would like to deeply and sincerely apologize to you all, and particularly to those injured and to the loved ones of those lost. You see, largely away from the public eye, my administration and its predecessors have intervened without cease in the affairs of other peoples. But we have not intervened to advance freedom. We have not intervened to advance democracy. We have not even intervened to protect the interests of the relatively small population of this country. Instead, we have intervened to advance the business interests of our campaign contributors and networks of friends and advisers, to put down the unrest of the many thousands of foreign people who are left impoverished and disenfranchised by our economic policies, and to ensure the military and political dominance of our country over other nations. In the last ten years alone America's manipulation of the politics and economies of other people has led us to impose economic policies that reduce access to health care and education in poor countries like Argentina, Turkey, and South Korea. It has led us to arm the governments of countries like Colombia, Israel, Indonesia, and Turkey that themselves use terror ~ but on a much larger scale than seen today ~ to suppress the desires of their own people. And it has led us to brutally attack the Iraqi people with both bombs and sanctions in a cowardly attempt to wipe out a whole steadfast nation to make way for our Democracy/economic enslavery, in the process killing perhaps two hundred innocent Iraqis for every one innocent American who died today. I apologize on behalf of my own administration, but also on behalf of the Clinton administration, the first Bush administration, the Reagan administration, and previous governments stretching back to the very founding of the country, all of which used military and economic power to conquer other lands, choose their political leaders, or set their economic policies. I apologize on behalf of both Democrats and Republicans, virtually all of whom have unquestioningly supported these actions. I apologize on behalf of the business leaders whose interests have motivated these actions. And I apologize on behalf of the news media, which have suppressed discussion of the tremendous negative effects of our foreign policy and which will, in this particular case, refuse to raise the question of why foreigners would be so angry at our country. Please accept this apology. Your leaders, without your knowledge or consent, have used the tremendous power of your country to institutionalize inequality and militarism worldwide. While acting in your name, we have pursued the interests of a narrow, tremendously powerful section of the population. And it is for this reason that you suffer today. I ask the American people to oppose the attacks that this disaster will surely bring against our civil liberties and against our residents of Middle Eastern descent. Together we must resist the urge to intensify a spiral of retribution and violence, and work instead toward a world in which no one feels so powerless or oppressed that he or she must resort to violence.
WOW, Pimp...kudos for a singularly literate piece, which I think it is in terms of the obvious quality/quantity thought you put into it and the overall eloquence. Just had to get that outta the way first before I take issue with you over many points of the actual content: are you fucking shitting me? Is the sentiment you so clearly express really how you personally evaluate and summarize the 'operating system' of the U.S.? Just need to know to know first before I go getting started on ya. I'm hungry, I'm still at work, I want to go home instead of getting started. You know how I can be when I get started... But I do think later I'll whip off a version of the speech I wish Junior had given
actually.. i think your government are just puppets of a darker and more insidious shadow government... a government who have engineered this whole episode to usher in a world government and army, a world currency and centralised global financial dictatorship and control.... they want microchipped people and a society based on constant surveillance of all kinds at all times.... and they want a frightened, docile, subservient people who give their power away to the "authorities" who can save them from what they have been manipulated to fear.... one of the biggest obstacles to the "New World Order" is the mind-set of most american people... when faced with giving up their freedom to global military, political, and financial control, most would be vehemently opposed once they realised what was happening... their sense of security, confidence, and pride in their nation and system has been built on immense military and financial strength... it is a version of the bruce willis gung-ho mentality - "don't fuck with us - this is America." from that has come their confidence in themselves as a nation.... now that very sense of who they are.. and their belief that they have the power to stand alone.. is in danger of being devastated.... it is absolutely no coincidence that the targets of those hijacked planes were the symbols of America's sense of itself and its own security the Pentagon, symbol of their military might... the World Trade Centre, twin pillars of their financial might... this is not an attack on america, it is an attack on america's image and imagination of itself.... break their spirit and their sense of being "american"... break america's confidence in itself... put it in fear and fundamental insecurity... and you have overcome the most significant opposition to america allowing itself to be absorbed into the global and centrally dictated society to overcome resistance to single currencies and central control of global finance.. they need a world economic crash that will destroy the present system and kid the people into accepting centralised global control as the only way to overcome the crash... this is another reason why these attacks struck in the very heart of America's economic system.... and why in the days before the carnage the talk of a global economic recession was plastered across the world media.... now they have a blank book with the chance to justify such a collapse and you will see global economic bodies brought in to "coordinate a response to the economic crisis"... actually, you'll find the G7 grouping of nations has already begun this process... call me paranoid.. i don't fuckin care.. i've got myself a nice plot of land in the middle of nowhere and i can become totally self sufficient if i need to.... learn to read between the lies and watch, wait, and see.... and take those blinkers away emetic... don't swallow the media pill they're feeding you... you can be made to believe whatever they want you to believe if you allow them to...

Well I think your over opinionatedly full of crap Pimp. But of coarse you will argue that point and say I am wrong along with the majoraty of others in here it would seem. But then that is just supposition on my part.
i won't argue... well.. maybe 'cos it's you.. but it's an opinion.. and i'm entitled to it.. just as you're entitled to your racist ones ... freedom of speech... it's an entitlement in the so called free world...
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>PimpDaddy expounded: your government are just puppets of a darker and more insidious shadow government... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Umm, right- the military/industrial complex that offed Kennedy, faked the fake moon landing, and all that. Yeah, I think we've read a lot of the same books over the years. And "The Matrix" certainly was a headfuck, wasn't it? Arguing for your thesis, who might you suppose constitutes such a shadow group? What is their source of power? How do they remain hidden while at work? <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote AFAIK, that generally describes most governments, benign or not. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote And you presume to speak of our mindset based on what, limey? Old Chomsky? I'm a native and I can't even figure out what our mindset is half the time. What's more, there remains very little of a majority of anything over here anymore. Between immigration and miscegenation, our so-called racial gene pools have been slopping over into each other for so long that nobody's as pure as, say, any given Japanese, Russian, Brit, Saudi or Iraqi - most of whom could prove genetic heterogeneity back at least for 4 generations. Me, I've got at least 3 different lines of blood in me. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote Sure - the symbolism is obvious. But what's not just yet is what was supposed to be the implicit message, because... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote ...if that's what They (let's just call them that for now for convenience) were trying to do, then They were obviously not experts on the American psyche. This is where we mainly disagree - for one thing, we've not been too confident in ourselves for some time. As I touched on above, we're a bloody fractious bunch, the heaping, steaming melting pot near boiling over; every 4 years, not more than just a third of us can be fucked to even vote for president -busy schedules and all that, I suppose. Same for our so-called sense of security. Between the global-warming shouters, the nuclear-winter fretters, the ongoing propaganda war between the gun-nuts and the gun-banners - add to that the constant low hum of news of death and destruction near and far - tell ya, Pimp, sometimes makes me want to steer my car into a tree rather than try to decide what's likely gonna kill me first. Now, my perspective of Tuesday's horror is this, and is based only on the limited knowledge and evidence as of yesterday (the last time I tuned in): the primary actors were mideast dissidents/ terrorists/ whatever - 'bag men' for at least a middling-powerful someone with a grudge against the U.S. No shortage of suspects there. Whether there is anyone behind them- foreign state, shadow gov or otherwise - remains to be seen, and can only be conjectured on right now. So we have a big, complicated conspiracy to effect an unbelievably bloody strike against America's symbols for the military, economy and government (only 3 of the 4 planes succeeded - otherwise, it is reliably certain that the plane down in PA was headed for either the White House, the Capitol or possibly Andrews AFB just to the east (where resides Air Force One and Marine One). It's the scale of it - this was not the usual bee-sting of a carbomb or single-hijacking/crash that frankly we've grown accustomed to. Had only a single plane hit just a single target - that scenario more satisfactorily fits a shadow gov. agenda: an event which kills a few hundred people, the followup coverage of which trumps nightly news for a few days for great ratings all around and is more reasoned and dispassionate. Just enough to momentarily grab the public's coy attention and 'herd the sheep' in the desired political direction. But in that scenario, the actual events were overkill (no pun intended). Our ambivalent feelings and opinions about terrorism that have practically immobilized us for so long are being clarified. Our discordant, petty squabbling over relative minutiae like school prayer, tax refunds and Oval Office blowjobs is quieting before the recognition that a big problem and a big task lay at hand, unignorable and unavoidable. The question implicitly demanded by the perpetrators is: what are we going to do about it? However we ultimately answer plays out, I'm sure that it'll probably resemble trying to herd a bunch of stubborn mules - even if you manage to get us all moving in the same direction in the first place, it'll probably not be in the direction you wanted us to go anyway. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote I think if they had meant it to be a mortal blow instead of a bloody flesh wound, economically speaking, they would have targeted the NYSE in a manner which would have literally crippled the market indefinitely. THAT's what would've started a global market chain reaction the likes of which your supposed shadow gov. would cream over. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote No, I'll leave that to IMC. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote Everyone is watching, watching very intently, believe you me..except for Spanky69IQ, at least, whose attention span apparently requires an immediate scramble of all our B- bombers to the vicinity of Baghdad. By the way - I live about a half-hour drive from the Pentagon. And that one flight outta Dulles - the one bound for L.A., can't remember the # - that's the same flight that several coworkers of mine have taken in the past 6mo to service a client in L.A. I wager this incident hits a little closer to home (no pun intended) for me than you. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote Please describe and qualify these supposed blinkers.
thanks emetic... a well structured retort to my post... answering points i made with informed replies..... debate... obviously with more reasoned thought than just saying it was a load of opinionated crap... anyway... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote well i ain't gonna go with the lizard people theory like a few of these conspiracy theorists do ) <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote electricity??... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote klingon cloaking technology?? anyway.. if you knew about them, they'd hardly be a secret government now, would they <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote have you donated any of it yet?? hehe..
