You are BANNED
Evidently, some guy named Kos who has a mainstream Democratic site called, Daily Kos, has gotten the gonads to start banning posters who dare question the official view of 9/11 or 7/7. You can read his post explaining his actions here.
And I say, "Good for you, Kos." It's your blog and you don't want any of this crap on there. You go, girl. I might have ONE little suggestion, though. I wouldn't go about banning people because they are not of what you called the "reality based community." See, that term was used by one of Emperor Bush's people to explain that most of us just live in what we think is reality but is really just a construct created by our rulers. Here's the quote, and I'm sure you were aware of it (I pulled this from Buzzflash, but it's originally from NYT, I think):
The aide said that guys like me were ''in what we call the reality-based community,'' which he defined as people who ''believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. ''That's not the way the world really works anymore,'' he continued. ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
See, that suggests that you and your followers are not only deluded, but, evidently, by using the term, you are PROUDLY deluded. Still, it takes guts to ban a chunk of your readers. Especially since you have advertising on you site and that's how you fund your website. So I will bravely follow your example. From now on:
- If anyone of you readers post that the three World Trade Center towers all came down in a neat implosion purely from fire, despite the fact that this has never happened in such fires before or since...YOU ARE BANNED
- Anyone who suggests that the US would not intentionally involve themselves in terrorist activities or supporting terrorist activities in order to further a political agenda...YOU ARE BANNED. By the way, did you see the article by Robin Cook in the Guardian? He says "Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians..." Cook is a former MP and Leader of the House of Parliament who resigned over the British participation in the Iraq war.
- Anyone who suggests that the US does not intentionally conspire to overthrow governments in places such as, Venezuela, Viet Nam, Cuba, Guatemala, Chile, Iran, Iraq, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti...well, just anywhere, really, YOU ARE BANNED.
- Anyone who suggests that there is no way the 7/7 bombings might have been planned and carried out by the British government and that the fact that the exercises, being carried out at that exact moment by a private security firm, simulating bombs going off in those exact locations at almost that exact time was nothing but a coincidence...YOU ARE BANNED. (I link to Rigorous Intuition because the CBC link to this story may not be permanent. They have a partial transcript.)
- Anyone who suggests that the 2004 elections were squeaky clean models of democratic practice....YOU ARE BANNED.
- Anyone who suggests that's it's not unusual for people go commit suicide by TWO shots to the head...YOU ARE BANNED.
Oh, and one more thing. If you are interested in the debate over Mike Ruppert and whether or not he has some hidden agenda for his "Peak Oil" ideas, head over to this thread at RI. I'm the Dreams End who is questioning Ruppert's agenda. It gets bogged down a bit, as much of my concerns go unanswered, but it's a good debate. Don't feel a need to post there to support my position just 'cause you like me, but if you have anything to add, please feel free.

Hello Mr. Jones.
As you can tell, I've been posting kinda sporadically. Thanks for your comments.
If you want to know about Bin Laden, you should probably research how the CIA trained him and thousands of "mujahadeen" to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. Former British Foreign Minister Robin Cook claims that Al Qaida - "the base" was simply that...the CIA database of "friendly" forces in Afghanistan.
Here's an excerpt from his article about this topic:
"Bin Laden was, though, a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies. Throughout the 80s he was armed by the CIA and funded by the Saudis to wage jihad against the Russian occupation of Afghanistan. Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians. Inexplicably, and with disastrous consequences, it never appears to have occurred to Washington that once Russia was out of the way, Bin Laden's organisation would turn its attention to the west."
That's as far as Mr. Cook went, but many of us suspect that relationship with the CIA never ended.
Oh, and as for Cook he died rather unexpectedly a month after this article was published. Probably the stress of speaking out against the war and all.
thanks for your comments.
