Jun 18, 2008 - hahahha "illuminati", hilarious... so what exactly is the difference between the "inside" and the "outside" of globalisation? you mean the new money is actually counterfeit? the people that have been saved from starvation are some kind of robots? the food is actually poisoned?.. come on! stop trying to be cool and rebelious and just accept the fact that the globalisation is actually the best thing ever to have happened, especially for the poor world!

Sep 3, 2008 - These are brave people and I tell them " You are what we need"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is only one truth and no one will ever know it watching mainstream media. This world needs more and more people like this, ones who are willing to sacrifice to show the TRUTH. Can't say enough on how grateful I am too see this.

WarzSchoolchild Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - The last five minutes were pure horror. 19:30 "None of the mainstream media reported the violence inflicted on their fellow journalists" The conclusion is inescapable, and pure logic. why would propagandist's who are only pretending to be journalists, care about genuine journalists? The mainstream media exclude real journalists. not hire them!

WarzSchoolchild Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - 'spaz3586' "Diamonds are a girls best friend" the Marylyn Monroe song, and codeword used by industrial protesters quietly going about their business, undetected, but sabotaging the machinary of industry. diamond bort(crushed diamond from scrap diamond saws etc.) incorporated into grease. slow-blow fuses, instead of quickblow! The police have no idea who to arrest. except visible protesters on the streets. That just adds fuel to the covert sabotage fire. Idustrialists go bankrupt! Tough Justice.

Oct 27, 2008 - HMMM..makes me wonder why the media and Hollywood love Obama so much, but do not criticize him at all. Is it because he is black? All the American lemmings are going to be real sorry. Just wait and see.
