And people think the twin towers was legit. Lol
The whole Isis thing at the moment is very suspect as well.

The Yankees... can really be a ridiculous bunch.

I think people greatly misunderstand the role of government and believe it is there for them, not the other way round. People more and more grow up with a sense of entitlement and that the are owed something.

Governments and governance is know different to people and human nature. All humans are inherently selfish and thats what keep human life in existence. People like to think they are selfless because it gets them through the day but you give me one example of a truly selfless act, its not possible.

Governments are there to control the people, not help the people, its just sometimes a happy bi product. The genius of a our royal family is that they realised that other royal familys failed because they didnt have scape goats, a protective layer [democratic government] that shields them from the masses wrath. Now, if the people rise up its against a government not the royals and the government can simply be changed.

In reality though, nothing changes much as the governments are run mostly by the money and power of the world, the banking families, corporations, old money etc etc....

This isnt me complaining either, I think it should be like this, it has to be like this, its just human nature.

Off on a tangent i know. lol.

It is a widely held belief in Cuba that the US blew up their own ship, the USS Maine, in Havana harbour as a pretext to the Spanish American war.

I thought that was a confirmed fact. My memory is often blurred though!

The towers, a clear example of a 'false flag'.
SO SO much is hidden, there's a higher agenda in motion.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!!!

And not related to Cuba but then there's the Manuel Noriega debacle..... And the CIA, BCCI and Bin Laden debacle....

Both interestingly enough involve George Bush Snr as head of the CIA and or President.... They also involve the trafficking / dissapearence of billions of dollars...... The death of hundreds / thousands and ties to terrorists and seriously organised criminal organisations.

Oh and the fact that they used a technology they neither created or earned (Nuclear Bomb) and used it not once but TWICE!!!!

I mean cmon..... The only reason they used it a second time is pure malice.

The CIA are an extremely dodgy organisation..

The CIA are an extremely dodgy organisation..

And that's putting it lightly.

Not very good ideas and the product of fears really. Communism as the big bogey man.

The problem the USA had, and if read some of the article replies, possibly still has, is that the Cuban Revolution was in the main popular with the people, and that after 50 odd years Castro is still more popular than Batista ever was. The Caribbean and the Americas are the USA's backyard and the possibility of a spread of 'popular' Communism must have terrified them. Militarily Cuba offers no threat, economically Cuba offers no threat, but Cuban style Communism does. The Embargo is a quarantine designed to ensure that Cuba remains poor and her social ideas and accomplishments (yes, accomplishments, Cuban healthcare and Education are almost on-par with the USA) don't spread.

When we think about the USA in political terms we think Democrats and Republicans. What we fail to understand is that both parties are far more right leaning than any in the UK. OK, unlike Cuba we vote for our politicians, but from a US perspective our Labour Party isn't far removed from Communism. Which is probably why the USA chooses to prop up and arm right-wing despots and banana republic dictators rather than support anyone wanting to improve the social lot of their people.

No I disagree, it isn't as it should be, it is as it is. And no, it isn't totally human nature, greed, bullying and selfishness are aspects of human nature that are more stongly developed, taught or ingrained in some than in others.

The whole Isis thing at the moment is very suspect as well.

Suspect? Total mystery you mean. ISIS are a lightly armed rabble who's military transport consists of un-armoured flat beds confined to roads, which means that all their movement is linea, and because there aren't many roads in the region, predictable. What the opposing forces are doing I don't know, non-engagement seems to be the strategy.

[Motormadj]

No I disagree, it isn't as it should be, it is as it is. And no, it isn't totally human nature, greed, bullying and selfishness are aspects of human nature that are more strongly developed, taught or ingrained in some than in others.

I know when i say it is how it should be it sounds disgusting but how else would the human race survive? All the so called alternatives to capitalism are just capitalism where less people benefit. I totally agree with the science behind epigenetics. Its a basic human reaction to care more about people you know than people you don't.

If you tuned up to your childs school and it was on fire and you found 2 children that were equally easy/hard to save. One was your child, the other a stranger.... who would you save?

[tippexx]

The child you know and love obviously, but a terrible decision to make if both were our children, or indeed both strangers.
