The Many faces of Terror

I wonder how OBL has time for running his network of terrorists?

Seems to me, he spends most of his time at the beaty salon and the gym; his hair and beard are different everytime I see a video purporting to be him and his weight changes look like an advert for overweight anonymous.

How about somebody finding out who's really making these videos?

Olbermann is in trouble

He's calling the bluff and that's not allowed. Pointing out the true faces of terror or discussing the obvious lies and propaganda of the current terror-regime is not a good idea if you want to live a long and happy life.

I suspect he will be taken off the air pretty soon or suffer a heartattack or some kind of mysterious airplane accident. Perhaps it will be enough to arrest him for some bogus kiddie porn charge.

Kudos though, he's a brave and honest man! Thank you for that Olbermann!

That's why he shows up at election time...pretty obvious to me. And the Saudi Bin Laden family purchased George W. Bush's Crawford County TX ranch for him.

Thank you Keith. I hope you continue to speak out....I don't understand how so many millions in this country cannot see what is right in front of their eyes.
I am an American in my heart and soul. My dad fought in WWII. My fear is that we will lose our pride and spirit. "Made in America" is the exception instead of the rule and the apathy is shocking! We seem to be a "government by the government", and that, as well as your example, is terrifying.

OLBERMAN, TRUE AMERICAN HERO

Bush looks up as he signs the Military
Commissions Act of 2006 in the East Room of the White House in Washington. The
bill effectively nullifies nine of the first ten amendments to the U.S.
constitution and ends the "great experiment" known as The United States of
America.
One of the loudest advocates of the
most damning charge that "members of the U.S. government actually orchestrated the events of 9/11 to fool the nation into unpopular wars", was not a tree-hugging Green Party activist, but rather a prominent Republican, in fact a

That was a better blast than anything the GOP has made up. I just pray to my God, who is not the same as Bush's, that we have enough intelligent people left in this country to outvote those who are gullible enough to believe Bush's pile of steaming crap!

Who advertises during this show?

I don't have TV @ home, so I only get to see these clips online.

Can somebody name a few business that advertise on MSNBC during this show? We should be writing letters of support to the businesses that are paying to keep him on the air, letting them know that we support the show so MSNBC won't pull a Donahue on Kieth.

Has Mr. Olbermann forgotten the Anthrax attacks?
Posted by: JoeCraine on Oct 24, 2006 7:26 PM   
Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Mr. Olbermann seems to have joined the forgetful; there was another, known, terror attack after 911; the anthrax attacks.

I wonder how the dead from that attack feel? I guess they have to grow used to the fact that the 911 attack was more visually appealing to those who would market terror. It appals me to forget these victims of this administration.

Remember, like 911, the media jumped to accuse someone (Saddam) before any evidence was available. Unlike 911, a forensic examination was conducted that showed the anthrax to be American!

Like 911, the media stopped investigating or even thinking.

Regarding the human remains found under the manjole cover...

Anybody wonder how, if the manhole covers were not blown off, the large bones got there?

How did the bones of victims at the top floors end up in the gutter?

How about...

They were blown (as in "exploded") there through the basements?

We need to demand a forensic examination of the explosives used to bring down the towers. Wonder who made them?

All stigmas and stereotypes are used to tell a story that justifies violence against a target. If Blacks are “criminals” and Indians are “drunken” then Iranians are “terrorists” who present a clear and present danger to capitalist Western “civilization.” And it is this simple image of “danger” that will ultimately be used to justify a nuclear attack on Iran.

First, for the sake of having a sense of proportion, let’s talk about what really rates as international crimes that might, properly, cause a nation to be deemed a rogue state, or a terrorist state.

In our list let’s include some of the universally acknowledged crimes a state might sponsor: genocide, the use of death squads, the widespread use of torture, the unprovoked or needless use of nuclear weapons, the crime of Apartheid, spreading chemical and biological weapons to those who use them to kill the innocent, the launching of unprovoked wars of aggression, and, of course, the deliberate starvation of mass numbers of civilians and the bombing of civilians. Since it’s germane, let’s include the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a crime.

These are things I think any reasoning human would agree are among the vilest of crimes a state is capable of, crimes against humanity.

In terms of the commission of these kinds of national and international crimes, the current regime in Iran hardly rates a nod. Jointly if not singly, however, other players on the Middle East stage are guilty of every crime listed. Every one of them. The players in question are the US and Israel.

US sponsored death squads committed genocide against the Mayan Indians in Guatemala, slaughtering 250,000 people in the 1980s.

The US led sanctions in Iraq in the 90s killed a million innocent civilians -- half of them children.

The US has trained torturers and sponsored torture around the globe -- from Iran, to South Africa to El Salvador and Argentina. Torture of Palestinians in Israeli prisons is routine.

The US and Israel backed the Apartheid regime in South Africa, and Israel is still an Apartheid state today, as the US once was under Jim Crow. The US has the world’s highest incarceration rate -- and most of its imprisoned people are peoples of color.

The US has spread biological and chemical weapons to states like Iraq, and passed the matter off when Saddam Hussein used them against the Kurdish minority of Iraq, and others.

The US backed Israel in its recent war crimes against Lebanon, which targeted civilian populations, taking a special toll among children.

The US has carried out dozens of unprovoked invasions, most recently including Iraq, Panama, Grenada, and Haiti, but also including Mexico, the Philippines, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic, just to name a bare few. Israel has invaded Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Palestine, and every inch of land it sits on. The US, another colonial settler state, also invaded and occupied every square inch it sits on.

The US is the only nation in history to have used nuclear weapons -- and it used them against civilians.

That’s what I mean by a sense of proportion. Nothing that Iran has done remotely compares to these even one of these crimes. It practices nothing close to Apartheid, it’s launched no wars of aggression -- it’s invaded no one at all, bombed no cities, sponsored no genocide, trained no torturers or death squads, it’s seized no one’s land, exported no chemical weapons, has never used a nuclear weapon, has none, and is in compliance with the Non-Proliferation treaty.

But those who have committed just these crimes against humanity label Iran a rogue state and a terrorist state.

I have never heard Keith before, but I need to say that, aside from the questionable mention of the recent discovery of the bodily remains of 9/11 victims, this critique of Bush et al was inspired and brilliant. It can help us to keep our chins up in these dark times. I am stunned and elated that Keith was allowed this forum. Bravo.
