Will there be something like Telepathy again?

Oh for the days when MJ was a poor, talented young black man and not a talentless, whiny, old white woman...

And while it is a *constitutional monarchy*, and only about 10% of the people have the right to vote, it IS an elective system of government (though a rather elitist one).

All you know about Kuwait and Iraq is hearsay. So the US press is entirely free? Try to write an anti-Israel article for a large American paper, use your watch and tell me how many minutes until you are fired. Free press, yeah. I always love this one, I really do.

Now you more or less admit that 10% of privileged Kuwaitis use a semi-constitutional system to suppress the other 90. Now what if what Saddam does is keeping 10% in check in the interest of 90? How do you know that isn´t so? Before the US blockade the common man in Iraq had it quite good; actually even Western papers occasionally slip and admit that.

So... What are your examples of how the US opresses the world? And don't come back and say Afghanistan because, well, the people there aren't opressed as long as they don't bomb our buildings. We're doing what the UN wouldn't, step in and remove dictators who threaten other countries with terrorist attacks.

Whom has elected President Chavez of Venezuela attacked? Why are the US plotting to remove him from office? Could it have something to do with Chavez being somewhat of a nationalist (bad!) and somewhat of a leftie (bad, bad!) and Venezuela having a lot of oil? Oh no, it couldn´t, the US would never plot against someone freely elected, or would they? OK, they helped murder Allende, but nobody is perfect.

I have no doubt that a mindless diatribe such as you have demonstrated would only get published in a equally mindless and prejudiced tabloid. If you mean factual reporting from credible sources, any major paper in America will publish it. Some will put it on page 1.

Pssst: *You might try reading American papers before talking about what they publish.*

[moomin]

Comrade Tribune is an amusing illustration of the European left - uniformed, rabid and prejudiced to the n:th degree. Luckily, although their proponents make lots of fuss on internet boards, their actual political influence is somewhat smaller than that of your local girl scout chapter.

Now, gentlemen, I'm disappointed with all of you - you should know better than to let yourself be trolled by an self-professed supporter of the most barbaric, brutally murderous ideology in the history of the world. Especially here. This is a Moo3 forum. Beating sense into clueless eurotrash nitwits is left as an exercise for the OTF forum. If you want to continue, I suggest you take it there.

[Comrade Tribune]

None of you is contesting my facts about Allende, Chavez, Kuwait, Iraq and the pro-Israel spin of 100% of all newspaper commentary Americans get to read...

So who is producing mindless diatribes really?

Can I call it a mindless diatribe if it's totally irrelavent to the board on which you're posting? If you want to debate politics why don't you go to a political site? Are you worried that people who'd actually care enough to meticulously debate you would grind your arguments into so many useless packets?

There are things about my country that I don't like or agree with but when I choose to speak about these things I go to the appropriate forums. Why don't you mosey on over to ProprogandaMatrix.com and commune with some like-minded individuals? If you get tired of that I can send you a hoard of other sites that pride themselves on this type of commentary. When I come to this board I'm looking for fanatical discussion over a game we all love, or love to hate in any case. Why don't we see if we can navigate this topic back on course, eh?

In the spirit of fairness, I have to concede this one. However, have you read this thread from the start? You would find I have not really been digressing, rather Americans are my favourite example of how mind control is far from implausible:

'The Telepaths would go for your government and the mass media. More is not needed. Case in point: Americans now happily preparing for a totally unjustified War of Aggression against Iraq. It works.'

[Straybow]

I think liberal Euroboobs show that telepathy would be most effective employed against the mindless masses, who would then tie up all intelligent deliberations with leftist drivel.

[Comrade Tribune]

The really mindless in Europe are neither left nor right: They are my arch-enemies, the liberal, pro-American, pro-Israel Globalists. And yes, that means mind control is working for -or rather, against- Europe, too.

But I see a growing convergence of very diverse people -Palaeocons, Palaeolibs, Nationalists, Leftists- against this ruling mafia -both in Europe AND the United States, and, sooner rather than later, the puppet masters`game may be up!

[Harel]

Should I point out that Israel is a close-ally of the US, with mutual exchance of military technology, signed military alliance treaties and a formal friendship? Do I also need to remind you Israel is a liberal western democracy and thus ally with all the west?
Why in god darnation shouldn't be a cry if someone publish an anti-Israeli column which has no basis? I'm positive that if someone publish an anti-UK column he would get bashed in the head just as well.

US-bashing is well and good - it's a decedant, primitive country, mainly due to it's poor education system and low emphesis on culture. However, the US policy towards the world is generally good - it's using it's wealth and power to bring values into the world, which is more then I can say for the kind of values Europe spread out when it had power and wealth.

Your comments about the US press and information about Iraq is ridiculous. I know far more then you could ever know about Iraq, and I can tell you the war against it is justified. In fact, I fully support that the west should head in and free those opressed people. The Iraqi people are suffering. While shouldn't those that are able get rid of the dictator for them? Your logic of no-intervention is what halted the US from joining WW2 for so long.

[Comrade Tribune]

Nice opinion piece. Perhaps I might write something similar of why everybody should ally with Austria, and fight our enemies (if we had any; though, unlike with Israel, there are no billions that understandably hate us).

The only difference between you and me is: If I took a militantly pro-Austrian stand on something, I wouldn´t be so hypocritical as pretending this is really all about the interest of the American taxpayer.

[Skanky Burns]

Would it be too much to ask if we could get back on-topic?
If you want to continue the discussion, take it to the OT.

Wrong. Israel doesn't have any enemies that understandbly hate her. Israel has enemies that unreasonably hate her. Big difference.

Don't be deluded to think that Austria isn't hated with the same passion, being part of the west, as Israel by the Islamic dictatorships.

[Straybow]

Oh, Skanky, let up. This is on topic, and quite amusing. Could it be that the success of Robespierre, Marx, Lenin, Hitler, etc depends upon some rare and unquantified telepathic abilities? The premise seems to fail in that their teachings endure long after their deaths.

Consider Dawkins' idea of the meme, but instead think of it as a mode of thought powerful enough to energize latent psi. Certain individuals whom we perceive as "charismatic" could in fact be subliminal telepaths.

This hidden telepathy could have effects heightened by the strength of conviction that comes from delusional syndromes, both in the telepaths and in those susceptible to their powers. How else can the rational mind explain the madmen who inspire bombers and snipers who target the innocent?
