People from the military calculate politics like this. And the big media still plays the same game just like before the Iraq invasion. And it's really not just the media, it's the military and big telecommunication corporations too. And don't forget all those other soulless Wall Street profiteers who have corrupted the politicians of both parties with their greedy lobbyists right up to the point where you can't tell the difference between Democrat and Republican anymore. Just compare the substance of the candidates AIPAC speeches, they're the frigging same!
Do you really think putting one big X on a ballot once every 4 years could change ANYTHING (?!), while there are literally thousands of "interest groups" in Washington (and in pretty much every other capitol of any stronger nation, for that matter) pushing their agendas though your elected politicians heads everyday, and of course never thinking about the will of the people.
Stuff like this disgusts me. And than you hear things on TV like "spreading democracy in the world", "most democratic place on earth" and of course the classic "the greatest democracy which ever existed".
Sometimes I really think just shutting all TV broadcasting stations down, even just for two weeks, could spark a new and truly democratic revolution. - Erich100, on 06/07/2008, -13/+99I remember being among the crowd that thought Scott Ritter was nothing but an Islamic sympathizer.
Now he is one of the few I feel can be trusted to tell it like it is. Through all of the ridicule he has not wavered in what he has been saying. He is a true patriot, unlike most of our media and leadership. - SusieK, on 06/07/2008, -3/+47Sad that you thought that, but wonderful that you've been willing to change your mind! In 2002-3, I couldn't understand why people weren't listening to his wise views and the facts he told us: that Iraq and Hussein were not a threat, that the Bush was attacking precisely because Iraq was weak. Do you think that the media's war-mongering persuaded you?
Meanwhile, I really do admire your change in perspective. You're a patriot, too. - T8erT0T, on 06/08/2008, -3/+44Strange how we don't touch North Korea with a ten foot pole, yet Iran just seems to get the warhawks wet when talking about stifling their nuclear program.
8 years of Bush, two wars, and a potential third on the way.
Thanks for everything. I'm totally psyched to be a vaporized ash-corpse next to my frayed "I lived in America during 8 years of Bush and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt." - inactive, on 06/07/2008, -14/+53PICK YOUR CITY!
- AlwaysAwake, on 06/07/2008, -21/+56Attack upon Iran before complete economic and financial collapse is essential to The New World Order plans, as opposition grows toward the War on Iraq. Otherwise major weapons sales to all sides will not be possible, nor loans to all sides , as a basis for issuing more worthless fiat paper currencies. That would be a disaster for The Western World Corporate/Banking Cartel, led by The Rothschilds; Rockefellers; Windsors; Jesuits/Opus Dei/Vatican Bank; and others.

- inactive, on 06/08/2008, -0/+18It takes a hell of a person to admit when they are wrong. Good on you.
I remember I was on business in germany when bush was on tv threatening hussein. I remember being ultra pissed off yelling at the tv things like 'all you are saying is rhetoric and fear mongering, lets see some god damn proof' I actually got kicked out of my hotel for being too loud. I apologized and they let me back in the next night.
I knew ***** about politics then, I just knew that occam's razor wasnt being met by his talk. It was bush alone that got me heavily into politics, so ironically, I owe him that much. he gave me the encouragement to want to show others how power hungry, fascist and anti american his adminitration was. - BESTenemy, on 06/08/2008, -2/+19 You know when revolutions happen? When people are so poor and desperate, the loss of life presents to them lesser threat then the loss of liberty. Along the way some wealthy minority comes along that desires to cease power. It sponsors the poor and desperate providing them with tools for overthrow of the government. After the action had commenced, the new power quietly establishes its own regime while disarming the populus before it can realize nothing had changed for them.
Here in America we don't have the base for any kind of revolution. We don't have the wealthy minority willing to sponsor the masses in order to overthrow the government. We also don't have the level of desperation needed for successful brainwashing. If you think the gas is more expensive, look at Europe. If you think there's too much survailance, look at Britain. If you think we're suffering, look at South Africa. Ask yourself why those people still live their lives and don't mobilize against their respective governments. The answer is that is has to be much much worse before people get off their asses, but there also has to be someone willing to get people out of their ditch and hand them weapons, as otherwise by the time most realize they've been taken advantage of, they're too powerless to change anything.
Erosion of rights and liberties happens gradually. We've already given most of ours away without any resistance. What makes you think we're going to do something different next time? - inactive, on 06/08/2008, -3/+18Oh for Christ's sake. It was a joke. I can't believe how sensitive Digg is.
My original was "I hope they pick D.C."
Apparently I'm being irresponsible, so says the guy who resorts to name calling. - inactive, on 06/08/2008, -9/+23Hmm, I'll go with D.C.
/Joking
/But seriously... - DukeLeto2, on 06/08/2008, -7/+19It is easy to say that Mccain is going to do this, but do you really think that Obama won't?
- changedmind, on 06/08/2008, -8/+19He is right. Fools WILL bomb Iran.
- pedo, on 06/08/2008, -5/+16this video is pretty old, but still relevant. the entire thing is worth watching.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gntZXoA46aM - SaraLiberty, on 08/16/2008, -8/+18The people behind the Federal Reserve, the war criminals and profiteers now want Iran because Iran's local central bank is not under control of the Federal Reserve monetary powers system.
The hostile corporate takeover (war) against Iraq, the war against Afghanistan, the war against the Balkans, Bosnia, were all to get the control over the countries *local central bank* under the Federal Reserve system. This was the real issue. We serfs were sold lies.
This was one of the primary reasons for the hostile corporate takeover (war) on Iraq - to get the control over Iraq's local central bank under the Federal Reserve system.
Iraq has been destroyed. The central bank in Iraq is now completely under full control of the Federal Reserve. Not of the corporation of the United States, but of the Federal Reserve system. Mission accomplished.
They want Iran (Syria next..) because they are not under control of the Federal Reserve. When a country has control of their own money, they can do what they want. They are FREE. The people that are behind the control of the Federal Reserve System don't want countries that are "free" from their system, dig ?
Their intentions are of a global rule and one currency. It's economic slavery and a one world currency. They have been breaking and bankrupting third world nations for generations. Now that they are getting the unions, EU, NAU, AU, etc. the truth of their plans is leaking out.
That is why they don't like Chavez in Venezuela. Because he has control over the Central bank and of the most important bank in Venezuela.
It's the same thing in North Korea.
Are we starting to see a pattern here yet?
The corporation of the US (following orders from the Fed, functioning as their pimp..) is after Iran to get control over their *local central bank* to integrate into the Federal Reserve system. That's what this is about people. They want Iran (and next, Syria) because they are not under control of the Federal Reserve. Iraq will be (ab)used as 'launching pad' for future corporate takeovers (wars) in the region. Control the currency and the flow of money, control the entire country in the palm of your hand. It's yours to do whatever you please. Oil is secondary. The icing on the cake.
Kudos to Scott Ritter for bravely speaking out against this hostile corporate takeover (war) scheme on Iran. Keep up the fight against the criminals Scott we support your efforts to tell the truth. You are a true patriot among deceitful, latrine filth cowards who sell out America and citizenry to much greater masters. - inactive, on 06/08/2008, -8/+18The reason this is relevant is because Obama has just given the green light to Bush to go after Iran.
http://futurenewstoday.blogspot.com/2008/06/is-oba ...
Statements like "The danger from Iran is grave, it is real, and my goal will be to eliminate this threat," spoken before an AIPAC audience will only be interpreted one way by the more hawkish elements in the Bush administration - as an endorsement of Bush's policies on Iran.
By coming out in favor of a get tough policy on Iran, Obama has effectively given Bush the green light to bomb Iran. Why should he wait when both presidential candidates have come out strongly in favor of a policy of militarily confronting Iran?

Obama is a fool's fool. - zarvensha, on 06/08/2008, -0/+10Dear America,
I would appreciate a kiss first before you ***** me,
Yours sincerely,
The World - toker200, on 06/08/2008, -1/+9haha McCain will for sure Obama don''t think so but his mind could change Ron Paul never that's why u vote Ron Paul
- Depthfunction, on 06/08/2008, -2/+10I could live without St. Louis.
- Neiby, on 06/08/2008, -0/+8FYI, Scott Ritter is the same guy who told us that there were no nukes in Iraq...and he was right.
- artofficial, on 06/08/2008, -4/+12word.
- buckybadger, on 06/08/2008, -5/+13There are a few comments above that attack Scott Ritter himself. I know very little about the guy. I don't care if he has accepted bribes from every dictator on earth. I don't care if he doesn't file his taxes, if he cheats on his wife, has a flamboyant pastor, etc. If Saddam originated the phrase "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country.", would who he is invalidate the substance of his comment? If it was attributed to "unknown", would it not still retain its meaning? Rather than attempt to invalidate the person, why don't we just listen to the substance of his message and go from there. Scott Ritter is not clairvoyant and he is not a saint. But he makes a hell of an argument.

Please. - ferrell, on 06/08/2008, -3/+11What allies?
- onanobj, on 08/07/2008, -5/+13> Sorry this guy is a convicted child molester. No thanks,
If true, that should be easy for you to prove. Have at it. - inactive, on 06/08/2008, -4/+11Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran

By this (your) logic, if Plato or Einstein had personality flaws their work would be less powerful or important?
If true, then his actions were deplorable, but that does not make this argument any less powerful or RIGHT. - DaviDTC, on 06/08/2008, -7/+14Saying fools would bomb Iran sounds like an open invite for bush to do just that.
- ventura7, on 06/08/2008, -1/+7Yes, he is going nowhere as far as the presidency, but how much did you think about Ron Paul 2 years ago? (answer - never)
The man and his ideas are a speeding comet, and he has quite a political future. (If nothing else, he will live much longer than McStain)
I know you are just pissed because Paul is more capable of claiming the tenets and academics of the Republican party than you are, bushie. - MacintoshSauce, on 06/08/2008, -6/+12Fools would bomb Iran? Those fools would be President Chimpy and his band of monkeys.
- fakekevinrose, on 06/08/2008, -2/+8I find the message to be relevant to this day
- DukeLeto2, on 06/08/2008, -0/+6It's just a face lift.
- iMike360, on 06/07/2008, -12/+19*standing ovation
It's about time someone smartened up and looked at the big picture. - jecruzs, on 06/08/2008, -4/+10The Jesuits? Ha.
- blacktriangle, on 06/08/2008, -6/+12Digg has again been infected the Neo Con robots. This kind of topic really brings em out of the woodwork.
- ratheunknown, on 06/08/2008, -2/+8Thats the only thing that made sense all day! Thank YOU...
- Schmich, on 06/08/2008, -2/+8Yeh, afterall it's the same people where pretty much half voted for Bush Jr...not only once but twice!
"Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again." - Sagags, on 06/08/2008, -0/+5back before digg had any other sections besides technology.
- dizilbdog, on 06/08/2008, -8/+12Why can't more people like that be in congress or in politics. Forewarning if you are going to pick boston let me know so I can head to the mountains in Vermont thanks.
- inactive, on 06/08/2008, -2/+8Good point. If Israel was in the Far East, then we would be going after Indonesia, North Korea, Vietnam. But since Israel is in the Middle East the top "terrrorist" states are Syria, Iran, Iraq.
Why not be friendly with Iran? Really. What have they done to us since the hostage crisis. And even then I don't think anyone was killed. And we had it coming because we set up the Shah of Iran.
Iran tried to give an oil contract to a US company, Conoco, back in 1995 but Clinton nixed the deal under pressure from the Israel Lobby.
http://www.iht.com/articles/1995/03/15/iran_4.php
"President Bill Clinton, hoping to further isolate Iran and set an example for Western allies, drew on his executive powers Tuesday to prevent an American oil company from developing Iran's Gulf oil fields."
How stupid is that! Why not let an American company profit from Iranian oil? But no-o-o. AIPAC decided that it was more important to pressure the Iranians and the result 12 years later is that we are on the verge of War with Iran. - cdzrom100, on 06/08/2008, -6/+11it really is unfortunate that digg has been overrun by these conspiracy toting pseudo-intellectuals.
digg has become a medium of political extremes, whether you are on the far right or far left, the amount of garbage spewed from so many people (prime example is the comment i'm replying to) is franky, sorta depressing. this isn't about me agreeing or disagreeing with your opinions, whether you be a liberal, conservative, moderate, libertarian, communist, whathaveyou, I don't care - but what I do care about is the lack of information, evidence, context, and just plain old rational in so many of these posts.
i really do remember when digg was full of respectful, intriguing, thought provoking political debate rather than annoying, underhanded, and plain stupid conspiracy polemics or diatribes.
I mean "Jesuits/Opus Dei/Vatican Bank; and others."
Buddy.
This isn't prisonplanet.com - this is a legitimate website, with educated and informed people, I just don't understand how we've been overrun so quickly.
Maybe I'm being naive - I guess I'll see if I'm dugg down :D - kygeographer, on 06/08/2008, -0/+5What's your point?
- BESTenemy, on 06/08/2008, -2/+6Scott is one of the inspectors that were deployed in Iraq and had concluded they presented no threat and possessed no weapons of mass destruction, prior to the attack. His words with regards to Iran were that "being 10 years away from developing a nuclear weapon means absolutely nothing as every single nation in this world is 10 years away from developing one, cause that is roughly how long it takes to establish one from scratch. In other words, they have absolutely nothing!"
- inactive, on 06/08/2008, -1/+5Wait, was that before or after he got into the internet sex predator business?
