    Makes me think they don't care if the airline industry goes belly-up. They'll just nationalize it and all us plebes will be banned from the flying. My husband likens their attitude to that episode of Star Trek episode the "Cloudminders" and we're all the "below" people.

    It was John Stockwell, ex CIA agent in charge of the Angolan War, who said that if the Soviet Union ever collapsed, they'd just find another perpetual enemy to fight. They found it in ex CIA-trained operative Osama Bin Laden. (It's a fact that the guy was trained by the military-industrial complex against the Soviets, ok?) I go back again to the underwear bomber, whose dad was a high up banker in Yemen, where Al-alwaki is living large. He's the guy who was a spiritual advisor to some of the 9/11 hijackers and did lunch withe Secretary of the Army and other brass at the Pentagon in the months that followed. Is someone going to tell me that our intelligence didn't have it put together between when he was pastoring or imaming or whatever the hell the hijackers and hanging at the Pentagon after 9/11? I mean, come on people.

    Oh, and I believe World War 1 was an "inside job."

    I agree with so many points in this post CL. More and more of our liberties and freedoms are taken away by a fraud of an institution we call our government. When are we going to wake up? When are we going to wake up and finally see that the answer is less government and not more?
