The Gubmint put bugs in my zoot suit - Exclusive News Within
Stop imprisoning more of your own people than any other country in the world -- that's four times more than China and twice as many as Iran, in fact.
And stop acting surprised at the lack of civility today. If you're going to act like fascist pigs don't be surprised when people treat you like fascist pigs.

Speaking of 'the government,' did you see the story about the recently killed census worker? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8274065.stm . He was found hanged with the word 'fed' written on him. I somehow don't think a census worker, hardly even qualifies as someone being a 'fed.' This idiot must have a very loose definition of what a 'fed' actually is. I can't help but wonder if this retard who killed and wrote 'fed' on him, ever knew that actually KILLING an employ of the government,(though he wasn't part of any federal investigation branch such as the fBI) would result in the ACTUAL feds coming after that person? What a dumbass! This time, I am rooting for 'the man.', cause this guy is a complete idiot and deserves what he gets, cause this level of stupidity is just.....just...gosh I can't even find the words.
You know, if stupidity were painful, you wouldn't have much of a quiet place to go to outside your own house because there would be so many people screaming in agony!

I doubt that "news" story is even true. And if it is I'm sure they distorted the truth for propaganda effect. Kind of like how six bottles of hydrogen peroxide = a weapon of mass destruction. If only Saddam Hussein had know that he could have just gone to a beauty supply store instead of trying to buy yellow cake from Africa.

Really? So the 'media' came in when nobody was looking and wrote 'fed' on that dead man's body? Not trusting the media is fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean that this was some kind of 'propaganda'. I fail to see the 'propaganda' in this story anyhow. You seem to be drawing wild conclusions over a report on a murder.

You seem to be very gullible.
The mainstream media doesn't do anything these days except repeat the propaganda that's handed to them. Like Bill O'Reilly personally went to Iran and identified the nuclear weapons sites he emphatically declared existed on the "news" this evening.
Taxi cab drivers conspiring with Bin Laden. Beauty store weapons of mass destruction. The propaganda isn't even that good. I guess most Americans have drunk themselves stupid if they even believe a word of it.

Crito - since you hijacked a thread again and ran it off course, I have moved your posts into their own thread. Everyone - Crito knows the secrets of JFK pirate gold and why the girl scouts killed him. He can also teach the ancient mysteries of the NWO and Greek tin foil hats.

I didn't hijack any thread. And I don't appreciate your personal attack against me. You should ban yourself and make a good example for everyone. Oh, that's right, I forgot, you're an authority here like the government, so the rules don't apply to you.

I'm just trying to save the White House some money so Obama can start his war with Iran. Don't know why all these Al Quider conspiracy theorists are going coo coo for coco puffs over it.

I agree, he'll need a lot of money for Iran ... and a lot of it will go into his pocket.

Crito - this is your own thread, no one else owns this thread. Obviously, bored mods are free to do a drive by here. Keep your wonderful enlightened ideas in this place, this place known as the Crito House.
I would ban me, but then who would run the world?
