Well, Jeme - since you asked... it sounds like a not even thinly-veiled
threat to me, reminding the rest of the lesser-pampered tools of the press
what happens if they don't watch their P's and Q's.
With the "virtual" avalanche of incriminating evidence on the internet for
this administration to deal with; it seems only natural that they are
worried about this. ( 911-strike.com is a new one that piques the
intellect )
I mean, it really wouldn't do to have a reporter asking questions like "Is
it true that all the passengers were sent to Ronald Reagan airport and told
to board flight 93 so they could be shot down over Pennsylvania to get rid
of the bodies?" or "Was that really an unmanned F-16 flown in the Pentagon
and not the 757 that flew over the Pentagon and landed at Ronald Reagan?"
Etc.
Something I read quite recently, I have no idea whether or not it is true;
that Dan is one of the top Satanists in the US... but that sure as hell
wouldn't surprise me atall.
After all, there are some who practice it. They must have jobs, don't
they?
For example the former Sheriff's Coroner and his wife ( also a cop ) who
wouldn't allow me to say "Jesus" in their home... ( My current stepmother
once told me that the Coroner's current wife and her used to read the
"verses" together....current stepmother of mine also worked for a police
agency...my father, too) , this same Coroner guy who keeps pictures of all
the dead bodies he ever worked with out in his shop, the guy who arrested a
man who was found later hung in his jail cell ( Coroner telling me this
story while I helped him build his Gazebo, because he was a friend of my
father's.. "saved the taxpayers a lot of money" says the strangely
grinning Coroner)
The personal notes are just to hopefully illustrate my cynical perspective
in certain areas of discussion today and in the past for anyone who gives a
shit.
On a similar note,
I recently read an article wherein the author concludes that anyone who
advocates Marxism/Democracy is either an ignorant or a Satanist.
The article was quite perfectly well-reasoned.
Jeme, have you read any Hobbes or Locke?
If so, what do you think about Locke's "Second Treatise on Government?"
I already know what the Coroner thinks about it, I've discussed it with
him.
Care to take a guess what his feelings were?
"The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges every
one, and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult
it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in
his life, health, liberty or possessions." "The natural liberty of man is to
be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or
legislative authority of man, but to have only the law of Nature for his
rule."
John Locke
The Hobbesian state:
"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the
government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of
others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let
history answer this question."
"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body
and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day."
Letter to P. S. Dupont de Nemours, Poplar Forest, April 24,
1816
