Post by: BreakingBad on October 17, 2012, 04:44:33 PM
Check out this video, a chopper going down in Syria then vaporizes in an explosion before hitting the ground.

Mixed attitudes to seeing a fellow aviator go down like that. On the other hand they are fighting for a despotic regime. While you have to wonder have to wonder what kind of people the rebels are.

Time will tell.

The Syrian "Regime" had a strange idea of keeping religion out of education :old:

Those "Freedom Fighters" don't look very educated but very religeous :old:

All these spontaneous uprisings amazing really :)

The Syrian government also have the strange views on human rights. As in they don't allow you any.

If there's one thing that amazes me about all this Arab revolt stuff is how many closet supporters of repressive dictatorial regimes have revealed themselves. Fanboys of Gadaffi and Assad etc.

Who'd have thought?

Yeah, thats a charming bunch. Right up there with Saddam. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/33544/World/Region/Atrocities-haunt-Hama-survivors--years-on-.aspx We have one errant bomb kill a civilian and the world screams. The Syrian Govt has been slaughtering its citizens for decades and they still make the UN Human Rights commission. :rofl The only problem is we might end off being better off with the tyrant.

The British government and the US were quick to forgive Gadaffi and the Irish Terrorists when it suited them for political gain.

The Saudi regime is funding all of these militants and nothing is said, their human rights and dictatorial non democratic is never questioned because they sell oil to the western regimes and buy Trillions of dollars of armaments.

Everyone knows what is going on in the middle east, its called Empire Building.

Lots of money being made from arms deals I believe.

I was in favor of rebels until I saw an article about rebels killing a family in front of their 4-5 yr old son, then hanging the son on the fence. There was a pic included. Only because they were Shia muslims or something like that..

95% of people there just wants to live in peace, rest of religious nuts makes it pretty much impossible.

There are no winners in that war either, only innocents suffer.. And another oppressive regime follows preceding..

Wanna know whats really scary about the Arab spring? The soviets and chinese as well as some western nations have been supplying these regimes with shoulder launched surface to air missiles for decades. Now that the regimes are no longer in power and the contents of their arsenals are unaccounted for how long do you think it will be before we see an airliner downed  by one of these? They dont need to get a bomb on board the plane anymore.  Just a couple of hand held sams would do the trick on takeoff. Im really surprised it hasnt happened yet in the US or Europe.

Even more troubling is the presence of huge chem/bio weapon stocks in Libya, Egypt, Syria. The first two have actually used them in combat in the past and Syria is known to have the most sophisticated and deadliest chemical weapons stocks in the Arab world.

You don't even know what you're talking about when you mention 'Irish terrorists'. If you actually knew what you were talking about I might give you credit. I speak as someone who was against the IRA. Still am.

Yep, the Russians are fed with mindless propaganda daily. The level of 'journalism' is absolutely horrible there.

Currently there are several news reports and documentaries about the finnish government confiscating babies from russian mothers. How they get put in concentration camps (yeah, really) and the only reason is they're russian born.

All this because of one finnish certifiably insane ex-university teacher who is giving 'expert reviews' about the state of the welfare system. He took a personal vendetta against the social system after he lost a custody case against a russian woman for his child. The reporters take everything he says for granted and do not verify his stories before publishing them. They don't even care that he uses the title 'dosent' of a finnish university but fails to explain that he's not currently associated with the university at all.

There's a reason for this, there's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got... because the owners of this country don’t want that. I'm talking about the real owners now... the real owners.
 
The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting uplifted by a system that threw them overboard 30 upliftin’ years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want?

They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly toejamtier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your upliftin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something?

They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later 'cause they own this upliftin' place. It’s a big club and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care.

Good, honest, hard-working people: white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good, honest, hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich noodlesuckers who don’t give a uplift about them. They don’t give a uplift about you. They don’t give a uplift about you. They don’t care about you at all! At all! At all! And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their amazinhunks every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It’s called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.

Now if you think you do have rights, one last assignment for you. Next time you're at the computer, get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, I want you to type in "Japanese Americans 1942" and you'll find out all about your precious diddlying rights, Okay? All right. You know about it. In 1942, there were 110,000 Japanese American citizens in good standing, law-abiding people who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country.

That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had: "Right this way" into the internment camps! Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most, their government took them away! And rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges.

And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter. You see all, sooner or later. Sooner or later, the people in this country are gonna realize the government does not give a diddly about them! The government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. It simply does not give a diddly about you! It's interested in its own power. That's the only thing. Keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.

America, says its for freedom and peace, exploits all the natural resources, allows its companies to employ third world people for less than 1$ a day and then claims to stand on the side of all that is right and just...

and to blow this whole thing out of the water and probably get it skuzzified.
