Hey crew. Pimping one's KS does not seem to be explicitly forbidden by the rules, so I hope no one minds!

Anyway... Weapon Brown!Your favorite comic strip characters after the Apocalypse! My KS has been doing great, and it features a genuinely nifty animated cartoon (I'll try to post it to Kickstarter today). I hope you will check it out!

There is more than one type of terrorism. There is political terrorism, of which you speak, and there is simple fear terrorism. The key part of terrorism is not the message, its the intent to cause fear and the scale with which that fear would be caused (hence the root word being terror). It is easy to confuse seeing as terror is by far most often used toward political ends, but it in now way has to be. Terror can be used to rob a bank, or just to act out someone's anger against a people.

You are bending the definition of "terrorism" out of all recognize-ability. By this definition, threatening to beat your wife so that she will cook you a steak is terrorism, as fear was used to achieve an end. Acts of violence almost by definition invoke fear, but that does not make them terrorism.

You are focusing on the meaning of "terror" and not on the "ism". The suffix implies a philosophy or doctrine, through which terror serves an end. If the Boston bombers did not intend that their actions should sway some policy, or if it was not in response to someone else's politically authorized act of violence, then it is not terrorism.

Why am I not surprised.

Also, they were white. No surprise there, either.

;;;;
& why is the American gold reserves a secret ? ? ? did you read anything except what you could criticise easily ?

China & Russia along with many other countries ARE STOCKPILING GOLD.

China has been telling its citizens to purchase & hold gold.
India is attempting to stop people from hoarding their gold by putting additional taxes on it, because they are seeing people not wanting to hold their currency.

If you had been paying attention for the last 10+ years (I've been doing it for over 20) you'd see just how huge the rise in gold & silver has been.
And its not because its worth more, its because your so called paper dollars are worht so much less !

I'm glad the WiFi in your bunker is working, but something about you makes me think that you are not actually a sophisticated trader within the metals market but more likely a guy who listens to a lot of Prison Planet.

Am I wrong? Wow me.

This article has (at least for me) some points of interest. I like the opening quote from Musillini.
But near the end of the article are some interesting points.

The most interesting, & this has been asked by many people including Ron Paul.
WHy is the Gold Reserves belonging to the American People a secret ?

THat IMO is another really good question.

Who did we call Fascists during World War II? The Nazis.

But what did the Nazis call themselves? National SOCIALISTS.

And North Korea calls itself a Democratic People's Republic, even though it is none of these. What is your point?

Of course, I KNOW your point: "Those who forget history are doomed to remember just enough of it to use as a a feeble burn in a Web forum."

The resort to "what the Nazi's called themselves" is a tedious and limp argument, very popular amongst the talk radio intellectuals. One of Hitler's first acts upon gaining power was to terrorize the trade unions and ultimately dissolve them, later instituting what was basically urban serfdom on the working classes, making it virtually illegal to leave their jobs. This has nothing to do with any socialist program.

Well actually he formed a new super union (and the unions were not economically viable to Germany's recovery at the time either. Even if it was a puppet union. And his own party was for massive expansion of welfare and increased taxation of businesses. The Nazi party also claimed it required a strong centralized government to make all of its goals possible.

The Nazi "Labor Front" was not a "super union" or a "puppet union". It was wholly an instrument of the Nazi party, and like everything the Nazis did, it was dedicated to deducting the rights of the people it was instituted for. It set wages and controlled working conditions in a manner entirely removed from the wishes of the labor force. It was not a free union in any sense of the word.

The fact that the Nazi government was centralized did not make it "socialist" any more than centralized power in Russia made the Bolsheviks Nazis.

Crony capitalism works on both sides of the aisle, and is alive today under Obama as it was under Bush. The example of Cheney/Haliburton is well understood, and at this point the most egregious Democratic example would be Breuer/HSBC, and more broadly, the genuflecting to Wall Street that has defined Obama's response to this Depression. Both parties, however, are equally steeped in the shenanigan they ascribe to the "other".

Solyndra and GM may make for a fine talking point against liberals, but where will conservatives line up when the call comes from Fox News to protect the war socialism that is the Pentagon budget? For that matter, where will liberals be when they finally get what they have always claimed to want, a cut in defense spending, when it costs local jobs and Democratic congresspeople rally to save their district's bases at any cost?
