US Mulls Death Squads

[philingraham]

After reading this http://www.frontpagemag.com/images/sndebrgd.gif twice,I realized that I had the same opinion of frontpagemag.com that Illuminatus has of NewsWeek. Col. Cucullu was the assistant secretary of disinformation for Latin American Affairs in the early 80's. He betrays the same lack of personal experience on the ground,air or sea that characterizes Illuminatus's whole tenure on IF. Cucullu never met even one refugee. Like Illumintus his whole reality is dominated by "movin up".
I'm afraid that opposing sides can't even agree about what "the Facts" are. I don't know what to do about this since it seems to endlessly get in the way of any meaningful conversation./ Any suggestions anybody ?

Carter tried! People Died!

Actually, it's more like Kermit Roosevelt lied (under orders from Eisenhouver), people died. And then more people died. And then even more people died. And it's still not over: http://www.democracynow.org/article..../08/25/1534210

More like more populist nonsense:

From news article:

Refusing to admit personal misjudgments on Iraq, George W. Bush instead is pushing the United States toward becoming what might be called a permanent “counter-terrorist” state, which uses torture, cross-border death squads and even collective punishments to defeat perceived enemies in Iraq and around the world.

Torture, cross-border death squads, collective punishments, perceived enemies...

what do you mean?

The Reagan-Bush strategy also had a domestic component, the so-called “perception management” operation that employed sophisticated propaganda to manipulate the fears of the American people while hiding the ugly reality of the wars. The Reagan-Bush administration justified its actions in Central America by portraying the popular uprisings as an attempt by the Soviet Union to establish a beachhead in the Americas to threaten the U.S. southern border.

And you know this how? Or yet more "sky is falling" assertions from your warped paranoid mind? Believe me, I know people with schizophrenia, the first step is to admit you have a problem. There's help out there Philly!

Well that's sort of true today at least as far as the DHS is concerned. Although this kind of overt media based "there is a vague threat that something will occur somewhere sometime in the near future" has abated recently it's hard to see this in any other light.

And if I remember correctly Reagan went on television at one point and announced that because of Niguragua, Soviet Troops were 2 or 4 days drive away from Houston. He caught some flack for that kind of talk.

1) Admit that I am powerless over my paranoia, that my life has become unmanageable.
2) Believe that a Power greater than myself (Minusthejihad) can restore me to sanity.
3) Make a decision to turn my will and my life over to Minusthejihad.
4) Make a fearless and searching inventory of myself.
5) Admit to Minusthejihad and a human being the exact nature of my shortcomings.
6) Be entirely ready to have Minusthejihad remove my shortcomings.
7) Humbly ask Minusthejihad to remove my shortcomings.
8) Make a list of all persons we have harmed beginning with NewsGod, Illuminatus and Rhodes Scholar and make amends to them all.
9) Make direct amends to NewsGod by sucking up wherever possible.
10) Continue to take personal inventory and when I are wrong, promptly admit it.
11) Seek thru prayer and meditation to improve my conscious contact with Minusthejihad praying only for knowledge of his will and the power to carry that out.
12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the results of these steps, endeavor to carry this message to other paranoid schizophrenics such as Mediocrates and practice these principles in all my affairs on the Israel Forum.

And this would be the best argument you can come up with?

How disappointing.
