    agreed. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is out to get us as a country "because we are good". The only reason why they would want to get us now is because the US chooses to stick its nose in everyone's business and be world police. Sure, i understand if someone is ASKING for our help; that's one thing... but if another country wants to do its own thing and its not hurting anyone, then leave them be, yeah? I'm sure if other countries did to us what we do to them, it would be called terrorism.

    Well Saddam was hurting his own people. Not that we have made life in Iraq much better, but no one denies Saddam was an evil dude. I get what you're saying though.

    I am an army wife myself, but I do have many friends in the marines. They're actually very good people, most of them, some of them aren't. Kind of like how a lot of civilians are good people, but a lot of them aren't.

    But Berkeley is backing out on banning the marines.

    "Subtly stated in the resolution is perhaps an impugning of the soldiers fighting for us in Iraq and other places," Berkeley City Councilman Laurie Capitelli. "And that was never the intention but that really needs to be cleared up. As I walked to my car that night I realized I regretted it and I had made a mistake."

    Tom Bates also apologized.

    And they are right, the attention was focused in the wrong direction. People are just so stressed out with the war these days, they don't know what the hell they are doing.

    Actually America is not good. 1 out of 100 people are in jail here. We're a very angry country. The truth is the government is attacking it's own country now, basically, we are becoming our own terrorist.

    "ESPIONAGE" is where a COUNTRY sends in its "AGENTS OF SABOTEUR" into "OPPOSING" COUNTRIES. to DESTROY the "OPPOSING" COUNTRY from "THE INSIDE-OUT", so IT "APPEARS" that that COUNTRY is "DESTROYING ITSELF" (but NOT REALLY)!!! AMERICA'S "CIA" is sent to OTHER COUNTRIES to "DE-STABILIZE" them, to DESTROY THEM from the "INSIDE"!!!

    COMMUNISTS, NAZIS and ZIONISTS and MANY OTHER COUNTRY'S "INTELLIGENCE AGENTS" have been "INFILTRATING" AMERICA, since "THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION" (to OVERTAKE and CONTROL US)!!! WE DO THE SAME to THEM!!! It's all GAMES of ESPIONAGE!!! In REALITY, "GAMES OF ESPIONAGE" have been HAPPENING on PLANET EARTH for "EONS of TIME"!!! NOTHING "NEW" under THE SUN!!!

    PRESIDENT BUSH JR. sent the "CIA" into VENEZUELA, to attempt an "ASSASSINATION HIT" on "HUGO CHAVEZ" (VENEZUELA'S PRESIDENT), but this "ASSASSINATION" attempt "FAILED" as HUGO CHAVEZ found out IN TIME (to have it STOPPED)!!! At HUGO CHAVEZ's "United Nations" (UN) - "General Assembly" (G.A.) speech, he called BUSH JR. a "DIABLO" (or a "DEVIL" in SPANISH)!!! This WAS SHOWN ON MANY "YouTube" VIDEOS!!!

    "YouTube" VIDEO: "Chavez calls Bush "the devil" in his speech at the UN G.A." (6:03 mins)
    LINK: www.youtube.com/watch?v=binMjEiS8AY&feature=related

    "YouTube" VIDEO: "hugo chavez diablo" (1:39 mins)

    "YouTube" VIDEO: hugo chavez vrs bush" (3:30 mins)
    LINK: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI0_VzFxTzs

    VENEZUELA has HUGE "OIL RESERVES" and BUSH JR. is an "OIL MAN" (via "ZAPAPTA, OIL", in ZAPATA, TEXAS - home of: "THE CHUPACABRA FESTIVAL")!!! A GALLON of GASOLINE (in VENEZUELA) sells for JUST $0.12/GAL. (CITGO, plus associated "7-11" PARTY STORES) get their GASOLINE from VENEZUELA!!! Do the "BUSHES" want to "OVERTHROW" VENEZUELA, to "TAKE IT OVER" and "STEAL" their OIL??? It seems VERY LIKELY (as the "CIA" already made an attempt to "ASSASSINATE" HUGO CHAVEZ)!!!

    BUSH JR. (and his FELLOW "NEO-CONS") has put out "HITS" on VLADIMIR PUTIN (The PRIME MINISTER of THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION) because the "NEO-CONS" STOLE ALOT OF MONEY from RUSSIA, and WANTED to "KILL" PUTIN (before he found out about it)!!! TOO LATE, PUTIN FOUND OUT!!! Now VLADIMIR PUTIN has put out KGB "HITS" on: BUSH JR., BUSH SR., BILL CLINTON, DONALD RUMSFELD, DICK CHENEY and HENRY PAULSON!!! This INFORMATION was also on ANOTHER "YouTube" VIDEO (which "YouTube" just DELEATED)!!! I WONDER WHY???

    HERE is the VIDEO that "YouTube" just RECENTLY "DELEATED" (but is NOW on another VIDEO LINK):

    "BREAK" VIDEO: "Crazy Conspiracy Video" (MAYBE, NOT???)
    LINK: http://break.com/index/crazy-dudes-consipracy-theory.html

    This SPECIFIC INFORMATION was PROBABLY "FIRST POSTED" on the "NEWS BLOGS" of the WEBSITE of: "GLOBAL ANALYSIS - INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE" (with "CHRISTOPHER STORY"), LINK: www.worldreports.org/news , as this is where I FIRST heard of the BUSHES and PUTIN sending "HITS" out on each other!!!

    "127 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES BELIEVED TO BE ON THE HIT LIST."

    "Reports that President George Bush Jr. found a severed horse's head inside his bed at Crawford, Texas, before Christmas, are herby confirmed. The head was severed from one of Bush Jr.'s most prized and cherished horses, worth an estimated $350,000. The Editor does not watch films, but knows that a severed horse's head was used in a similar fashion in a film called The Godfather."

    "The severed equine head was placed in the President's bed on the instructions of Russian intelligence, according to sources special to this service. It is believed that the horse's head incident occurred after the shooting of Paulson. It may have reflected retaliation against purported threats against the life of President Putin."

    "PUTIN ASSASSINATION RUMORS THOUGHT TO BE LINKED"

    "The Russian media sources stated that under interrogation the Armenians had revealed that they were 'paid mercenaries' of MI5 and 'had in their possession travel documents linking them to a recent visit to the Vatican' where, they said, they had been paid more than $1.0 million for their 'mission' to assassinate the Russian President."

    CNN, of course, wouldn't "AIR" THIS INFORMATION, but THEY DID SHOW the following "RELATED STORIES" (GIVEN in "DETAIL" in the following LINK). I ACTUALLY 'viewed" them on CNN!!!

    "CNN" NEWS STORIES ("AIRED" on TV):

    1) "ARSON ATTACK ON BUSH FAMILY PROPERTY IN ODESSA, TEXAS."

    2) "THE FIRE AT THE OLD EXECUTIVE OFFICE BUILDING"

    "The 'mainstream media' ignored the fire almost as soon it had been featured on CNN."

    FAMOUS (and "KEY" POLITICAL and ECONOMIC LEADERS) ALL HAVE "DOUBLES" (for DIVERSIONS (and used as "DECOYS") from "ASSASSINATIONS") and sometimes used as a "REPLACEMENT" (for when they ACTUALLY DIE)!!! CHURCHILL, HITLER, the BUSHES, BILL CLINTON, HENRY KISSINGER ALL HAD and/or HAVE "DOUBLES"!!! It is STANDARD "ESPIONAGE" PRACTICE!!! "HOLOGRAPHIC IMAGE" INSERTS ONLY WORK WELL on TV!!! THEY LOOK VERY REAL!!! Where's HENRY??? Will the REAL MR. PAULSON please SHOW UP???

    "THE SHOOTINGS AND DOUBLES: INTERIM INDICATIONS"

    "A clue to what will emerge, we believe, is that United States, key officials have doubles, often several of them. Sometimes the doubles themselves get shot and killed in this wayward gangland nation. That's what happened in the New York when it was reported that Cheney had been shot. On 11th April 2008 we discovered that the "Cheney" who had been shot was one of his several doubles."

    - ISN'T "ESPIONAGE" FUN??? OR NOT!!! -

    AMERICA is also "INFESTED" with RUSSIAN "KGB" AGENTS, COMMUNIST "RED" CHINESE AGENTS, ISRAELI "MOSSAD" AGENTS and BRITISH MI-5, MI-6 AGENTS, GERMAN "BfV" AGENTS, plus "JESUIT AGENTS" (of "THE VATICAN")!!! WELCOME to THE WORLD of JAMES BOND!!! AMERICA needs a GIGANTIC CAN of "RAID"!!! THEY DESTROY AMERICA form WITHIN, so AMERICA isn't really DESTROYING ITSELF!!! It's ALL FOREIGN ESPIONAGE (and VERY DANGEROUS STUFF)!!! Yet, MENTIONED ALL OVER THE INTERNET!!!

    THEN, there are 3 - 4 MAJOR "GLOBAL FACTIONS", that are PLANNING "WORLD DOMINATION", so they just want to DESTROY ALL COUNTRIES (by "PITTING" COUNTRIES AGAINST EACH OTHER), so ONLY a "ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT" remains VICTORIOUS!!! DO RESEARCH on: "ALBERT PIKE" and "THE THREE WORLD WARS"!!!

    The "GLOBAL FACTION'S" PLANS (i.e. their "BLUEPRINTS" FOR A "NWO"):

    ARTICLE: "Extraordinary Times, Intentional Collapse & Take down Of the U.S.A.", By Richard C. Cook (5-1-8)
    LINK: www.rense.com/general81/extr.htm

    RIGHT NOW, there is "FEUD" between the "AMERICAN POWER FACTION", the "EUROPEAN POWER FACTION" and the "ASIAN POWER FACTION"!!! An "ASIAN SECRET SOCIETY" (HEADQUARTERED in "TAIWAN") has just PLACED 10,000 HITS out on "KEY" MEMBERS of the "AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN POWER FACTIONS", but they OFFER AN "ALTERNATIVE PLAN", where ALL NATIONS ON EARTH "PUT THEIR WEAPONS DOWN", and the WORLD'S NATIONS AGREE to make EARTH a BETTER PLACE to LIVE IN!!! BENJAMIN FULFORD (ex-FORBES Magazine Foreign Journalist) is ONE of their MAIN SPOKESMEN!!! THIS IS TRUE!!!

    The poor "SOLDIERS" (even the MARINES that "ENLIST" (or have "ENLISTED") in BERKELEY, CA) are just "USED" as PAWNS in these "GLOBAL GAMES" of "WORLD CONQUEST" (which have BEEN GOING ON for THOUSANDS of YEARS on EARTH), by 'GLOBAL EMPIRES" - like the ANCIENT ROMAN EMPIRE, BRITISH EMPIRE and ANCIENT VIKINGS and MONGOLS!!! Are they just "CANNON FODDER" for these "POWER FACTIONS" to play their "POWER AND CONTROL" CHESS GAMES??? I feel "EMPATHY" toward the "SOLDIERS", but NOT SO MUCH FOR their "PARASITIC" CONTROLLERS!!!

    We now have DANGEROUS "NUCLEAR" and "BIOLOGICAL" WEAPONS, plus "GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT" WEAPONS (which COULD "POTENTIALLY" DESTROY US ALL), but WE also have HIDDEN "ADVANCED" TECHNOLOGIES (which are CAPABLE OF almost CREATING a "HEAVEN" on EARTH)!!! It could go EITHER WAY!!! There still is HOPE, for a BETTER WORLD!!!

    Will WE go "EXTINCT" from our OWN DESTRUCTION, or will WE "EVOLVE" to "THE NEXT LEVEL" (living in PEACE and HARMONY)!!! WE'LL FIND OUT SOON (in at least 10 YEARS , OR LESS)!!!

    IT'S a "MAD, MAD, MAD, "MAD MAGAZINE" WORLD" OUT THERE!!! OF "WHITE SPY" VS. "BLACK SPY"!!!

    Peace, love and understanding . . .

    Yep, USA as more advanced civilization had from 1960/70-ties chance to bring peace, stabilization and well being over the world.
    But instead it wasted their civilizational advantage only for more aggressive usual activity. Nixon or who it was build huge war machine instead of developing space science and flights...

    So, Yankees - now Europe is on the lead with slightly different proportion between military/science (there is more money to science, less to gun market).

    We will see. Anyway don't worry Chinese are much more stupid asholes that Americans.

    Chinese are very very stupid. Any kind of patriotizm is a shit - all patriots are nasty bastards which should live on the moon far from the Earth.

    Flags, borders, guns, gun markets, solders, gun industry is a shit.

    And look at it and be aware all your short life and you will die as a free soul with good karma and love of our Mother...

    I see both sides of the coin but I wonder if the people of Berkley realize this: If the marines aren't recruiting then anyone is up for grabs when they have to start drafting. So I say let them take who wants to go, because I sure as hell don't want to. In college, people are more aware of their self and goals which is why I think its ok. However, I DO think its wrong to allow marines into high schools though grabbing seniors before they decide to go to college. Its much easier to convince a High School senior to join the marines than someone in college.

    So you're saying we should support recruiting and be afraid of the draft? Screw that shit. I'm not going to settle for a lesser evil. I for one do not and will not support recruiters, and if they resort to the draft, then some hell will definately be raised.
    The point in the end is this; forcing people to fight is wrong. Selling death is wrong.
    If the army, navy, marines, etc. and all those other killer groups are SO GREAT, then they should have no problem finding plenty of young, naive soldiers to brainwash and kill, right?

    Again, they should stay out of high schools cause those kids are much easier to convince in joining the military. But in college, you know what you want to do and a recruiter isn't going to convince you to join or not. If you do join then its been something that you definitely have been considering already. So let the ones go who want to, but sending people who don't want anything to do with it in a draft is really fucked up. You may be a woman and not worried about the reality of a draft, but I sure as hell am heading to Canada. NOT being afraid of a draft is ignorant and its already been discussed that if a draft occurs again, college and gender quite possibly won't get you out of it. Yea a draft in a way is what the country needs to inspire progression (as I said in the other thread) but thats a really fucked up way of looking at it. Should thousands die for reform? So yea, marines shouldn't be trying to recruit people, but we shouldn't be in a fucking war, welcome to it.

    Trust me, I don't think I'm special or excluded because I'm a woman. I don't want to see my friends and family go, and I know if they were to bring back the draft, women without kids would probably be taken next, despite McCain's recent sexist statement.

    Instead of being against the soldiers that are, by the way getting shot just so you can talk shit, wouldn't it be better to concentrate on the war itself?

    Not only that, wouldn't it be better to actually support the soldiers, and be concerned about helping them when they return? I mean think of all the shit they go through to save their country. I'm sorry but I don't think trying to save pandas is actually going to prevent our country from being bombed.

    You all look at the dark side, about the deaths, and the murders, and all of the poor kids dying. Well let me tell you something, those kids, are trained to KILL YOU.

    And the majority of the deaths in Iraq with the Americans' are caused by stupid mistakes, do you EVER wonder why they RARELY tell anyone how the soldier was killed? Because the media is against it's own country.

    Instead of talking shit and calling people ignorant, why don't you try to actually help and do something about it? Not every soldier in the army is for the war. Actually, being an army wife, I'll tell you right now, THEY AREN'T. They do it because it's their job, and they do it because they have to, and they do it because that's exactly what the country has to do until someone else does something about it.

    The soldiers actually aren't saving our country from anything at the moment. Sadaam Hussein had no WMDs; the Iraqis weren't a threat to us; the soldiers aren't protecting us from "being bombed," and they certainly aren't protecting my freedom of speech. In fact, the fear of being told "you don't support our troops!" stifles free speech and honest debate in this country.

    I support our troops. That's why I want them to come home safely. And NOW.

    No.

    Apparently neither is a foreign war. Remember the bombings in the UK? Just because it didn't happen on our soil doesn't mean it didn't happen on our side.

    Those kids are? You think they train all iraqi children to do what? I think your having a Vietnam flashback.

    What?????

    If they aren't for the war then why sign up? I know a lot of soldiers who aren't for the war now that they have seen it and know how stupid it is. But they joined out of desperation or a lack of a better future for themselves or they happened to be in the mood when a recruiter was around. The country did not have to do this. The country did not have to get into bed with the Saudi's, the country did not have to become dependent on a foreign power source, the country did not have to invade iraq.

    People who are in the army, military, marines, etc. know EXACTLY what they're in for. they know they are signing up for death; for killing and shooting. Its not just "their job". Your husband signed up for WAR to KILL PEOPLE. if he was against war, against violence, against murder, he wouldn't have joined.

    Last night I was helping prepare the site for a local RiverFest, an event to bring public awareness and support for the revitalization of a section of river into a public park.

    A few years back my friend, who spear-headed the project, denied the National Guard a display in the festival, since they hadn't gone through the application and approval process like everyone else. He was also concerned that their proposed display, a pyramid of guns, might be insulting to some folks in this liberal town, so he turned them down. His decision was controversial, folks were all going off about "support the troops" (whatever that means, empty rhetoric as far as I'm concerned), and a fairly large sponsor of the project backed out due to the political implications.

    The point is, the National Guard was arrogant to begin with, they came in with an air of entitlement, as if they should be granted carte blanche status because they're something special. I'm not sure 'cause I wasn't there, but my impression is the Marines acted the same way in Berkeley.

    Take it from an eight year veteran of the armed services and the National Guard, some of these guys are aggressive, obnoxious pricks, they're brain washed to be, as I was. It's understandable that some communities might not be comfortable with their presence, and I don't blame them for turning them away.

    And if you really wanna "support the troops", put pressure on your politicians to end the war and provide the veterans with the education and health benefits they deserve.
