I bought this book for my brother-in-law, and I haven't read it, but it looks interesting. I'm not agreeing/disagreeing with any of these claims, just thought you guys would find it interesting.

we live in a day and age where the big-fat-white-man has a lot of power to exploit people. this exploitation allows this dude to live high on the hog while some people beg for change in the street.

these conspiracies don't surprise me. the US did go after water treatment facilities in IRAk (in case big brother's watchin) during the GULph war. sure, it stopped poo-poo-head H'inSSEIN from developing weapons of mass destruction, but it caused suffereing to people who had no choice in the conflict.

another case in point: CANADA legalising marijuana. no argument against MJ has ever, EVER shown that it does something to someone else such that the harm is irrevocable. there's a rule in place for the sake of having a rule, and changing it would cause koas beyond your wildest urban assault adventure.

ACTUALLY, that's not true. legalising MJ would only take away money from alcohol and tobacco companies, as well as LAS VEGAS. so what's my point? i'm pissed off at the establishment that dictates you should have a car that's designed to fail - as opposed to survive. it needs to consume fuel like its was going out of style. its all about ENERGY (or NRG), and whoever needs it can exploit those who have it. its all about getting ahead and f*ucking over those who have no choice but to get f&ucked over.

the world might be a better place if countries were run by engineers as opposed to lawyers and business people.

censor this, CIA, CSIS, MI6 and all the others. you make me sick for living in a supposed free world.
