Want to know what will happen with Iraq?
Go to http://www.informationclearinghouse.info and watch the movie "The Panama Deception." You will see soooo many dejavu's it's very very scary. Guess who is President then? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't Clinton or Ronald Reagan.... This movie is very very scary. Other two good movies to watch there are "The Carlyle Group" and "The Road to Tyranny" from Alex Jones.

2. Thanks for the welcome
It's one of those dejavu movies. Literally. I love that site too. I'm right now working on watching "The Road to Tyranny" from Alex Jones. That's a pretty good movie as well. Anybody seen it?

4. There is a sizable amount of people here that think Alex Jones
is a whack job. I think he makes some very valid points even though
he may be overly dramatic.

I havn't watched "The Road to Tyranny" it's on my to do list.

I think bush** & co are freshly paving that Road right now.

If you like informationclearinghouse & Alex then you may be interested in this site some excellent info to be had.

6. Ooh thank you
I booked marked it and will check it out later in the day. :) Some things I'm not sure about with him but some stuff makes sense and can see it. The things I'm not sure about is the Kerry Bones & Skull stuff. Why? Because Kerry closed down BCCI and that was a terrorist bank and I think if he still was involved with them they would've told him not to do it and all that. Know what I mean? I think Bush is probably still involved with them because of how he loves power and all that.

3. Great link...
Thanks for that. Very creepy parallels there. I was only 8 when that happened so I didn't know much about it.

:toast:

5. DejaVoodoo
I think this film clearly exposes the Corporate Media.

Using Panama as a baseline, we can clearly see how the Corporate Media has behaved between then and now.

The Corporate Media whooped-up the invasion of Panama. Do you remember when Noreiga's middle name was "Strongman" as if Michael Buffer was announcing it?

After promoting Bush I's wars in Panama and Iraq, Clinton came into office and the media did a 180. It was all scandal all the time. Nonstop. Then it was Gore's turn.

The media relentlessly flacked the 'Gore's A Liar' theme. The media itself lied about Gore while staying mute about Bush's horrendous record in Texas and Bush's blatant lies in the campaign.

Then came Bush II's Iraq war, and the Corporate Media promoted the war, including splashy graphics. Meanwhile, the media have mostly ignored the vast lies and gross abuse of power by Bush and his administration.

These facts about the media are clear and undeniable. They are out in the open for anyone to clearly see. This documentary makes it even more obvious that the Corporate Media is not only untrustworthy, they are dangerous to a healthy democracy.

7. Yep
It really is creepy the parallels. More-so then everything with Hitler and/or Vietnam. What Bush is doing is exactly out of that play book. Everything. From the media to speeches... I bet you Poppy is involved with Iraq too.

8. Let's not forget the original deja vu on this, The Battle of Algiers
Great movie. We should also be keeping the issue of the Battle of Algiers front and center. With this very interesting difference: the French military torturers were in a narrow sense "competent" at what they did, because they eventually DID get the intelligence, through massive use of torture, that they sought, and cracked the FLN cell structure in Algiers--though it didn't avail them to stop the insurgency nation-wide. One of the crashing ironies of the present use of torture is that it isn't amounting to squat, they don't know the first thing about who they are up against, much less getting the ability to roll up the network of insurgents. This crew are Keystone Cops of whatever they turn their attention to, with the exception of stealing elections and defying the Constitution.
