i've been slacking off with my journal entries lately, not much going on here. things are winding down here on the island, and I have been keeping real low key. looking forward to some time on the mainland soon.
A win is a win is a win. I didn't get to see the safety. I was out getting food and listening to the game on the radio at that point.
You know, I dream of the day when we might have a great running back to go with our passing attack. And hey, maybe even a top WR because as much as I love Troy he would be a two or three guy on most teams. Good to see Daniel Graham start to get the ball, I think it is time to go to more two-TE sets.
I am damn glad to be going into the bye at 7-2 because we could easily be going in at 5-4 or worse.
I seem to not have as many people replying to my journals...
and trust me.. there is nothing soothing about a train going by 3 ft away from your window. During the morning and evening rush hours... there is a train going by every minute.. soooooooooooooooooothing
Doubt I will watch it since the regional SG group for this area is having a get together. But let me know and I will try to will some good karma without watching.
According to the Fox commentators, the Marlins being in the WS has helped the Pats. They claim that the infield dirt still being there rather than grass caused Mare to miss the one FG and get the other blocked. Regardless, nice fucking pass to end it, eh?
By the way....Repulsion is a great fucking film, but you obviously already realize this fact.
arrrrgh this Sox Yankees series is going to give me a fucking heart attack.
as promised, the crush thing. I'll give you the long and short of it.
So I have had my eye on this waitress at a local bar for a while now. She has moved up to part time bartender, which has given me a chance to chat her up... Read More
one thing is for sure.. the Cubs will always have a more dedicated fan base. I'll have to go out and take pictures tomorrow outside the stadium.. it's insane how many people are there that couldn't get in. It's nothing short of a zoo
the Project for a New American Century are the ones who said all we need is a new pearl harbor so we can dominate the world. rumsfeld, jeb (or neil?) bush, wolfowitz, perle, etc are all members... it should be easy enough to find. PNAC i think they go by.
wow dude. i was referring to the post by s5 below
hence the word "regarding" and the page where you asked for a credible source.
s5 said:
well, stokula, to be fair, when the bush admin's foregin policy think-tank publishes a report in 2000 saying that some "catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor" would help move along their plans for shuffling around the middle east, it gets some people thinking.
you, doppleganger, replied: *dare i ask for a link to a credible source of this information?*
i then wrote to you telling you the specific name of the group s5 was talking about~ the Project for a New American Century~ so you could find a link to a credible source on your own.
that's all.
instead of thinking "hey maybe these guys aren't just sitting around screwing with me on the boards" and actually checking out what anyone was referring to, you just leave rudeness on my page about pathetic, factless claims and some sarcasm... the same kind of thing that got the thread closed to begin with.
so here's a link and quote to exactly what s5 was talking about. the exact same thing you describe as pathetic and factless.
by a congressman, to the current house of representatives.
hon.rep. Ron Paul on july 10th 2003
The Project for a New American Century, as recently as September 2000, likewise, foresaw the need for 'a Pearl Harbor event' that would galvanize the American people to support their ambitious plans to ensure political and economic domination of the world, while strangling any
potential rival.
Recognizing a 'need' for a Pearl Harbor event, and referring to Pearl Harbor as being 'lucky' are not identical to support and knowledge of such an event, but this sympathy for a galvanizing event, as 9-11 turned out to be, was used to promote an agenda that strict constitutionalists and devotees of the Founders of this nation find appalling is indeed disturbing. After 9-11, Rumsfeld and others argued for an immediate attack on
Iraq, even though it was not implicated in the attacks.
The fact that neo-conservatives ridicule those who firmly believe that U.S. interests and world peace would best be served by a policy of neutrality and avoiding foreign entanglements should not go unchallenged. Not to do so is to condone their grandiose plans for American world hegemony.
or.....
a prominent British political figure~ Labour Party Member of Parliament Michael Meacher, wrote a major feature focusing on Cheney's Project for a New American Century grouping, in the London Guardian on Sept. 6.
where he says:
We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff).
The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says "while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."
The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document attributed to Wolfowitz and Libby which said the US must "discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role". It refers to key allies such as the UK as "the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership". It describes peacekeeping missions as "demanding American political leadership rather than that of the UN". It says "even should Saddam pass from the scene", US bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently... as "Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has". It spotlights China for "regime change", saying "it is time to increase the presence of American forces in SE Asia".
The document also calls for the creation of "US space forces" to dominate space, and the total control of cyberspace to prevent "enemies" using the internet against the US. It also hints that the US may consider developing biological weapons "that can target specific genotypes [and] may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool".
Finally - written a year before 9/11 - it pinpoints North Korea, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes, and says their existence justifies the creation of a "worldwide command and control system". This is a blueprint for US world domination. But before it is dismissed as an agenda for rightwing fantasists, it is clear it provides a much better explanation of what actually happened before, during and after 9/11 than the global war on terrorism thesis. This can be seen in several ways.
for real, man.... why would someone sit around on SG and post a bunch of useless crap with nothing to back it up?
especially someone who runs the site like s5?
i just want to have good honest debates, and look at hot pics of foxy girls.
