    Point: your ability to understand

    ~~~~~~~~

    Time, why does it matter to you what I or anyone else believes? Think about it... You've agreed (more or less) that everyone has their own perceptions. Thus, anyone--including you--wishing to claim anything can do so from now to eternity. It won't matter because they/you are never going to be believed by all. I won't be believed, you won't, nor will thecurly1... Furthermore, if so many are hopelessly fixed in their blindnesses, why bother? It's a little like beating your head up against a brick wall, isn't it?

    I don't have much further to say, but if you are listening--if you are capable of understanding this much of someone else's view--please be advised that you are wasting your time by making the assumptions you have so far, and by trying to engage Counterbalance in a such a futile debate. It just ain't gonna happen, dude.

    What's wrong with debate? Nothing. But what's the point of any debate or discussion when one party has already condemned the other, and has claimed (in various ways) to know what the "opposition" thinks, feels, believes, perceives--whatever. Rather a waste of time, Time...

    For all of your (or other's) claims about really "knowing" what's going on out there, you're missing some very basic points about mankind and its history. About the nature of people in general. (About how to communicate when you want to be taken seriously. ) You're loaded for bear, but aiming at the wrong targets--and with the wrong ammo.

    You are obviously a creative and intelligent individual. No need for me to make any unwarranted assumptions about that--you've amply demonstrated these qualities. Rather than assume that you will never be able to see the world, mankind--or America--in any other way, I choose to hope (hey, it's free!) that over time you will come to see more of the bigger picture, rather than persist in investing so much "time" and energy in a few very narrow and tainted views. After all, with so many people having so many different viewpoints, the views of those who support these conspiracy theories are but one part of the overall collection, right? (Rhetorical)

    Have I assumed too much about your view? I don't think so. You've shared plenty of your anti-man outlook. Actions typically speak louder than words, but your words are clear for the most part, and your ability to say what you mean doesn't appear to be lacking.

    Peace, Time...

    Find a way to be at peace.

    I'll concede with these thoughts in mind, we are living in the last days, and they are truly dangerous times to be living in indeed, wicked things have forever left their scars upon us, yet even more wicked things this way are comming, and in spite of our most noble attemps to combat against this hideous evil, I fear it will still come, and that the worst has yet to arrive.

    Tell these guys they shoiuld be nominated for the FICTION Pulitzer prize.

    No, I still don't believe you. I don't believe these are credible sources, about the infiltration, and et cetra.

    Let's get real the gov't would do this to their own people.

    P.S. Time you never replied my past comment: if these groups are so powerful and indeed do exist, why would they let a small government like the Taliban dictate their policy, i.e. the supposed pipeline.

    After all you claim these guys have control over the most powerful nations on Earth.

    You see now that the theory has unraveled itself.

    Just an afterthought... not a challenge...

    ~~~

    Yet what good will it do anyone to live their Life in fear? Fear can be like a pair of 'clip-on' shades for one's eye-glasses, for one's view. Tinting and tainting. How you see things, how you digest it all, how you handle it, how you 'react' to it...

    If we're in our last days I prefer to fill mine with finer thoughts, even while remaining realistic. When my time to die comes, I hope my heart and mind are not cluttered with fear, but with the knowledge that I lived Life to the fullest and by my own standards.

    Whoever originally came up with this quote spoke truth:

    "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

    Apologies for the interruption.

    Carry on,

    Oil Pipeline

    I think you will find that it is Russia that want's the pipeline,so that it can sell its oil,& the Saudi's have been backing the Talliban as they do not want the pipeline,as it would bring down the price of there oil.
    Nothing to do with America,as all of the anti party would like us to believe.

    We began carpet bombing of Taliban locations in Afghanistan. The next step will be heavier troop movement of U.S./UK military personnel. Rooting them out in their caves and tunnels. Now we will see the resolve of the Taliban and there supporters. Now we will see who believes in what they stand for!

    I see a lot of folks with doubts as to what our millatry objectives are in afganistan, i also see a few blind patriots in the group too.
    If you think america is without sin then your mind is already lost to the propaganda machine and nothing or noone can help you.
    If your mind is open to the idea that every nation on earth has commited atrocities then you are more likly to stumble upon the truth.
    Was that time fellow implying that america was behind the terror attacks of sept11?
    That is a silly idea isnt it?
    Did someone say missile defense program?

    Dont jump on me yet folks im only trying to broaden your view on such things, so if we turned this conflic around and afganistan was the powerful nation and america was poor and without food/water/shelter how would americans react to afgani planes dropping food with huge afgan flags all over it?

    Sorry did someone say humiliating?

    Let me put something of my view across, the objective lined out by both UK and US governments is to displace power from a country's standing government, fair enough but what are you going to replace it with?
    The norther alliance?
    If they take power in afganistan the region will never see peace as muslims from other factions (the taliban but to name one) will see it as a western invastion on there soil (much as americans saw the destruction of the WTC as a personnal attack) and will fight to the last man left alive to take it back.
    When they eventually kill ossma bin ladden there going to have to do the biggest propoganda event of all time to stop the guy becoming a myrta.
    Lets face it that guy will never stand trial for the terror attacks of september the 11th just in case an international tribunal finds him "not gulity".
    This all comes around again and we sat talking about "due process" which is either used or not used depending on weather it suites the governments needs.
    Sorry did someone say democracy?

    I wonder if the food dropped on Afghanistan is Halal (Kosher for Muslims)?

    tablariddim ...

    Doubt that any of our 'decision makers' were either knowledgeable nor sensitive enough to consider it.

    But what the hell, they'd be glad to eat cat food if we dropped it on them. Some of our oldsters do pretty well surviving on it.

    Senator Rockefeller answers questions at news conference following the 100-0 passage of the Senate Aviation Security Bill.
    (October 11, 2001)
    http://www.fra.org
    Click "Legislative Center"--Senate Veterans Affairs Committee --John D. Rockefeller, WV (More Interesting News From Capital Hill"
    Has anyone read this one yet?

    Another question is why are our bombings moreso accurate around oil fields than innocent bystanders/victims?

    "Capital Hill" doesn't "Capital" refer to economic resources?
    now why would oil wells be so important over human lives?
    (as if it has to do with anything) ...Coincidence?

    Thanks, Chagur!

    A vague memory had me thinking it was first said by a well-known Roman--who, apparently, is not so well-known to me any longer!

    Probably mistaken.

    Let them eat ...

    Seems that unexploded bomblettes (from the cluster bombs we've started using) are the same color as the 'food' packets we've been dropping ... and have been since it caused a bit of a problem in Kosovo!

    Great planning ... along with the bombing, twice, of Red Cross relief supplies.

    Do you need any more proof that we're a 'caring, sharing nation'?

    I would bet on Pres. Busch's own unruly cabinet "Smith & Jones" of military shadow GVT before blaming "Abdul Osmana & Co." Why? think about it for a moment they want this damned martial law so badly they won't stop at nothing including creating an enemy to pose a threat so they can pen everyone inside the boarders so tight they can put the squeeze on their civil liberties in exchang to aleveate their fear by providing security, a wolfe in sheep's clothing, a trojan horse to get the public to accept the idea they need this out of fear they gain being tricked into bying into this hoax!

    If they declare martial law outright, the people would generate too much civil unrest & riotry, but if you sell them on the idea of a threat, slowly get them to allow the troops to gather around first in airports, then bridges, and latter schools, colleges & Universities, community centers, National monuments, & forests, parks & etc. after it's all said & done, you could latter tell the public that "Oh by the way, we're officialy declaring martial law" or better yet why bother, it would be redundant!
    They still get their way either way you look at it, they win, the people LOOSE! they being shadow GVT & NWO not the lie they try to shove down your neck!

    it's the oldest trick in the book, it's like the crooked security companies scam you to buy their contract by breaking & entering, stealing & vandalizing your property and paying thugs to do this to create a threat that terrorizes you enough to buy into this lie!

    I really am not closed to dismiss this as a good possibility that the same thing is going on in the good US of A-----------
