   One can only wince with incredulty when Hersh hatches this beauty,

   “Eight or nine neoconservatives took over our country.”

   Oh bloody really? At one point in the audio portion, it’s Hersh who states one thing that causes him great pain is when the mainstream media “joined the other team” and quit doing their job, asking the “tough” questions – post 9/11. Better get a cup of coffee and wake up Mr. Hersh; and if you want to tell a real whistle blower’s story – one that begins LONG before 9/11 – give Catherine Austin Fitts a call.

   All very interesting.

   I do wonder, though, if Hersh perhaps tells less than everything–and I do doubt it was a true slip. For example, he is careful to imply (without saying it) that the assassinations were all outside the US.

   While possible, it would seem unlikely.

   It’s also interesting how Hersh says that even though you may get a bad president the good news is that elections will bring in new administration with “New Leaders”. I personally do not understand how people can look at the political and economical developments of the past couple of decades and still think the system works. There are just too many contradictions, inconsistencies, plots, and evidence to point otherwise.

   The thing that also lost me was how he said the guys doing the killing are not murders. So let me get this straight, they are covertly moving around the world, finding targets, torturing them, assassinating them, and all without the knowledge or consent of local governmental authorities. Sounds like murder to me but in this case it is not?

   Just because these people thought they were doing the right thing or just following orders, it does not remove them from all responsibility for their actions. Especially, as mentioned in the article, when there’s collateral damage causing the deaths of several other innocents.

   I thank him for bring to light what many people outside the mainstream media have already know, and so I do not trust him because much of what he is saying does not make sense to me.

   Hers is head and shoulders above most reporters in the mainstream media, but he knows more–much more=–than he’s telling. It may be his instinct to survive. It’s dangerous to reveal too much of the truth.

   I have always wondered if this ring was responsible for a series of poisonings between 2002 and 2005 while I was in litigation with the federal government.

   I have always wondered about several deaths across the globe Since 2003 that made no sense.

   July 17 2003: Dr David Kelly (Iraqi Weapons Inspector) was found dead

   July 2005: Wim Duisenberg (Former Chairman of the European Central Bank) had a Heartattack and drowned in a swiming pool

   August 2005: Former British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook (Serious challenger to Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, had a heartattack and died

   I’ve wondered for years about Senator Paul Wellstone, and how the ratio of democratic reps seriously outweight republicans regarding who dies in small aircraft crashes. With the amount of power, money, and influence in US government circles in Washington, and the murder carried out in our name abroad which is non-controversial, this is hardly surprising in my view.

   Then there’s Ron Brown, the D.C. Madam, the recent “suicide” of the man lately accused of distributing the Anthrax, who did not have access to the kind of anthrax that was used to contaminate ONLY Democrat senatorial offices. Rumors of mysterious deaths also followed the Clintons - I have never liked those two. There are a number of highly regarded biologists and other scientists who keep waking up dead as well. A journalist was murdered a couple of years ago in Georgetown, Wash. D.C. The journalist who broke the cocaine-CIA connection from the San Jose Mercury-News, who committed “suicide”. The list is virtually endless. I do have a feel that John Kerry’s family was threatened if he decided to pursue the election fraud theme. Even AL GORE, who has since shown SOME courage, folded almost immediately. He was and is quite well connected, but has been totally marginalized. If HE didn’t have it in him, then who does? We hear from him about once every six months, if that, these days, while the planet either drowns or goes up in flames - Southern California year-long fire season, with budget cuts to fire stations all over the place, being replaced by PRIVATE fire defense teams. The fires in Australia - in their prime land for farming - I read about a year ago that a leading government official told the farmers to forget being able to farm there any more - the drought was coming and wasn’t going to end any time soon. Then there’s the iceberg situation. AND WHAT IS BEING DONE??? THE MONEY IS BEING TRANSFERRED FROM US TO THE BANKS. I WONDER WHERE THE RICH PEOPLE WILL LIVE WHEN THERE’S NO AIR TO BREATHE OR WATER TO DRINK, NO ANIMALS TO MURDER. Oh my god!!!!
