Re: "Are you really comfortable with celebrating every loss of life in the US?

Answer: Whose celebrating? Thats your interpretation of my posting.

Re: "Does it feel 'progressive'?"

Answer: Karma is always 'progressive', although on the face of it it may appear otherwise.

Eyewitnesses saw Flight 587 PLUNGE into the ground annihilating about twelve suburban homes, including a federal building, as well as innocent pedestrians.

Talk about bad luck, or bad karma, what is the chances of over a dozen major incidents across the World in just three months?

I hear the cry for "heightened security," soon you won't be permitted to step outdoors without official clearance. Sad.

"In some ways she was far more acute than Winston, and far less susceptible to Party propaganda. Once when he happened in some connection to mention the war against Eurasia, she startled him by saying casually that in her opinion the war was not happening. The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, '. This was an idea that had literally never occurred to him." George Orwell, 1984.

change of propaganda tone

13.11.2001 15:17

from the TV chit chat it certainly seems as though the tone of the yankee propaganda machine has changed a bit.
Bush even looked a little bit emotional, as if he had been caught by surprise ?? . They didn't need this one and they are not cranking it up, although the FBI is reporting an explosion during the last few minutes of the ill fated flight. It seems that the U:S authorities would prefer that this plane crash was an accident.
They have probably over played the dramatix of 9.11 to enable them to kick off with WW3 and cut down by 50% on civil rights, having done that they now want to try and get the fa$t buck machine back on track but no fucker wants to get on a aeroplane which is not good for busine$$.
Besides they found the Black Box in record time and that probably rules out CIA involvement, they never seem to find them when there is any likely CIA dodgyness. (8 out of 8 !)
I saw a comment from Internationalist further up the page,
perhaps an Internationalist that didn't spend much time in the poorer parts of the world. Where victims of Wars and disasters ,natural and man made,where people lives are made a misery just so that the people who live in middle class
residential areas like Rockaway can have spacious detached houses with wide avenues and trees an' all the shit .
The people of nicaragua, for example, didn't get any councilling after the last Hurricane, most of them didn't get any food or medicines.
Perhaps the people who don't have anything to lose don't count as much as the people who live in fancy middle class suburbs, in the west, who in effect have everything to lose.
I don't hate anyone, but I am anti american because they are the 'evildoers', and what I can't stand is all the bullshit, I have seen the effects of american foreign policy for myself, I was deeply shocked to see that these poor peoples lives counted for nothing. Knowing that all the people tucked up in their nice cosy middle class world couldn''t give a fuck. What is it we are supposed to feel for thr U:S ? an alligence with people who's sense of security has been shattered by a series of events that could have happened to us or our next door neighbours and therefore shattered our illusions of safety ???? basically saying that our modern world is more important than their third world that makes us more civilised them them, after all they live in shit.

Well how about spraying some of these middle class area with dioxines like the U:S did in Vietnam ??
How could anyone say such an inhuman thing, but it was ok for the vietnamese.. if 587 was an accident and it was bad karma and they (the U.S) are gonna get back what they put in .. what they have had so far is just a drop in the ocean...
good time to leave the states ..
