that I sometimes shudder with the thought that I see
signs of such a thing -- the seemingly intractable
religiosity of the United States, the violent energy
that seems to be growing in the Islamic world, etc.
I do agree with some of your counter arguments, but
lets not ignore the growing threats to the West in
general. There is increasing evidence that China and
Russian are the real threats behind everything going
on right now. Their financial and armament ties to
islamic fundamentalist cannot be ignored. Their is
growing evidence that Russia and China are the
suppliers of "red mercury" and tactical nukes to
islamic terrorists.
Several analyst strongly suggest that the cold war
never really ended, and in fact we are seeing is a
very well thought out long-term strategy by both
Russia and China (now "friends") to destabilize the
Western Economic stability. There is no doubt that
the global financial markets are on the verge of
collopse. Derrivatives brokers are worried that one
little mistake on their part and the whole damn thing
will come down.
Who can doubt that all it would take is a single
suit-case nuke going off in the US to totally collopse
the already fragile economy? Nevermine the political
fall out from such a nightmare. Say goodbye to civil
liberties for starters. There is now growing evidence
that "red mercury" nukes have been developed which
enable 2 megaton bombs to be the size of baseballs.
Imagine if several of these went off in the US.
Perhaps there was more truth when the Al Qaeda says
that soon, "America will be gone". They did not say
"Ameriac will collopse" or "America will be
destroyed", but "America will be gone". Could they
already have suit-case nukes in the US ready to go
off?
And of course there is the looming wat with Iraq, and
the grave possibility of Israel launching nukes in
retaliation for what Iraq might do. Imagine the
radiacl increase in terrorism in the coming years if
nukes are used against a muslim state.
The Third World War may have already started, and what
we are seeing now are the beginning moves on both
sides. Either way, I don't see a lot of truth coming
out of Washington. Why all the smoke and mirrors?
what the hell are they hiding?
