Hidden Faces

[Regarding Christopher Montgomery's column of April 1, "Nately's Old Man":]

If the aim of the NWO is so obviously . . . trying to take over the world, why not use the Euro state as an arm to speedily achieve their ultimate goals? What opposition will Europe offer them with the exception of the Euro currency? (Remember, the US hides under the auspices of the UN.)

I understand that the NWO is hell-bent on "unity," but how do they intend to do this? Is it through their currency or through pressure groups and other subversive means?

Last but least, are there any hidden faces that the public should know about?

...Who are the faces behind the NWO? (The presidents are simply the secretarial whores representing the faces behind worldwide genocide.)

Christopher Montgomery replies:

I'm afraid I'm not the man to answer these pertinent questions as . . . my opinion of government (yours or mine) is so low that, frankly, were these bozos competent enough to arrange a global conspiracy, I'd sit back and applaud.

'Both Sides'

Ron Paul, in his article "American Foreign Policy and the Middle East Powder Keg," concludes by saying America must 'stop funding both sides' – in referring to Israeli/Palestinians problems.

This is grossly misleading to the average American. It gives the impression that America gives as much to Palestine as to Israel.

Israel receives more than $3 billion per year and a hefty military arsenal – fighter jets, tanks, and nuclear technology, etc. the full works – whilst Palestinians receive zilch from America and furthermore whatever they receive from charitable organisations in America has been frozen under the guise of aiding 'terrorists'; and this . . . is the crux of the problem. Not only that America finances the Israeli war machine – it also denies any support to the Palestinians. Support that otherwise would constitute self-defence if they were Russian or Chinese oppositions!

Drones Will Obey

The Bush Legacy:

• A leader of a democratic state can do as he pleases with a leader of a non-democratic state; this is particularly true if the latter doesn't have a state, because the former stole it from him.
• A leader of a democratic state is allowed to steal elections. Naturally, in such cases, the system does not account for revotes.
• A leader of a democratic state does NOT need education, nor wisdom, as these would consume time that is better spent with baseball. All policy shall instead be based on polls and the interests of deserving supporters.
• There is a big difference between an occupying army, and an underground resistance. The occupying army is right and brave. Resistance, on the other hand, is futile.
• All drones will obey the leader.

Now Normal

So it's now normal that Israeli government decides that any place it decides in the Palestinian Occupied Territories can be "closed military army places"?

It's now normal that Europeans or Americans TV reporters don't show any admiration, or indignation when Israeli military shoots at pacific manifestations, because they were taking place in "closed military army places"?

It's now normal that these same reporters keep saying that Israel is a democratic state, specially, when these same reporters kept calling the elected Serbs leader Milosevic "butcher", "dictator", "oppressor", etc., for years and years, in spite of the fact that there were never "closed military army places" there – in Belgrade, in Kosovo or any other place in Yugoslavia – and daily manifestations took place for long periods of time?

Everybody knows this is not normal. This is one more example of hypocrisy and double-standard bias.

Israeli occupation must end so that Palestinian people may be free. And reporters must try much harder to be objective.

Arafat Must Resign

I have said it before, and I will say it again: Arafat must resign!

"W" keeps saying Arafat must "do more to stop the violence." But what can he do now? What could he do even before he was corralled in his compound and terrorized? I suspect very little.

Without Arafat as Sharon's whipping boy and "designated enemy of the free world," who will the Israelis be able demonize in their so-called "war on terror"? Arafat must resign for the good of his own people.

Let Zinni and Sharon deal with someone else, if there is anyone else to deal with.

West Papua

How about writing something about the ongoing war in West Papua and the invasion by Indonesia? Over 600,000 Papuans murdered already and less than 700,000 left – the US may not want to mention that their good buddies are committing genocide, but what would you call it?

And don't you love the Freeport Inc.'s spin on it? "Oh, they want to stop living in villages and spend their lives working for our company instead" – think about it boys, if you were a member of a society that had lived in prosperity for over thirty thousand years, would you want to destroy your land just so your children can drink Coca-Cola and play Game Boys instead?

When the Papuans say they just want to be left alone, they mean it. From their point of view, they'd rather the "western" world bugger off. The Papuans have survived for all this time without Microsoft, and they're more than happy if they continue to.
