How about the Eagles Cheerleaders? Will they be there? Chuck Norris? Gary Busey? Gary Coleman? Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

This bears repeating. Great post. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Woohoo. I'm glad I signed the petition -- just got an email stating that Gov. Rick Perry has granted clemency to Kenneth Foster. Glad to hear this fellow is going to live. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Wow, great post. Says much of what I would have written, but more eloquently. One thing I'd add is that being a rather shy person (as I am) doesn't help the situation. People take your non-smiling face and aloofness as an offense, even though it has nothing to do with them. Depression breeds isolation, isolation breeds more depression. And it's not an easy cycle to break. Three and a half years ago, I wrote a suicide note. I still have it. Not long after after I wrote my note, I started skydiving. I've had my share of very dark episodes since, even recently. But skydiving has been my shock treatment -- I feel better after I do it. That's not to take away from some very close (unfortunately, not close in distance anymore since they live far away) friends I've been blessed with since I was a kid that have always been there when I needed them. I'd credit them more than anything for my still being here. Anyhow, stay strong -- there are many of us out there who understand you and know exactly where you're coming from. Cheers.

I'm just pointing to information that's out there and curious about others' opinions on them. Not trying to take the lead on anything. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

I figured there would be these kind of responses making light of these secret societies. I'm aware that the very term "secret societies" stinks of conspiracy kookery, but that's what they are -- "black boxes" of *very* powerful people who can influence our lives. I wonder if you listened to what JFK had to say about them. Apparently he knew something that we don't know about these groups. And being that these circles are closed, you won't hear much about them on the television. So I think it's healthy for people to at least be aware of them. It would be even better if journalists would do their jobs and bring these groups to question. Unfortunately, none of them really do...since many top journalists are themselves part of these circles. And just because we don't hear much about these groups on television news doesn't mean they're insignificant. Tony Blair attended the Bilderberg meeting in 1993. He was later questioned about it in Parliament. He denied having ever attended. Something doesn't sit right with me about that. Maybe it's just a get-together where people drink and have fun and talk about the economy or whatever. But then why the ultra-heavy security and the secrecy? It begs the question: what do they have to hide? The difference between these groups and a skydiving club, for example, is that a skydiving club's get-togethers don't have the potential to affect the general population. If policy is being made in these meetings by people who represent us, my opinion is that the people who are being represented should have a right to know what is being discussed in them.

@Erroll: Since these meetings include people who are serving the public in our government, don't you think you have a right to know what is discussed in these meetings? It's possible that the decisions made in these meetings have an impact on you and I. @mnealtx Did you listen to what JFK had to say about secrecy? I think the scenario he presents in his speech reflects the current administration to a tee. And did you watch any of the material I linked to above, or did you just feel like taking a cheap shot?

Okay, before you call me a kook, listen for five minutes to what President John F. Kennedy had to say about secret societies. Skull and Bones -- William Howard Taft (27th President), George H.W. Bush, and our current president. Founded in the 1800's by the biggest opium trafficker in the country at the time, modeled after a Bavarian death cult, there are only 15 members per year admitted into this club. There have been several top-level members of the CIA that used to belong to this club, and several members of Bush's cabinet are former 'Bonesmen." Kerry was also a Bonesman. Bohemian Grove: A two-week annual gathering in the redwood forests of Northern California under extremely high security that invites elite members of the media, big business and government (Henry Kissinger is a regular participant, Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower, Bill Gates, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc...). Members perform a cult ritual called "Cremation of Care" in which a child is burned in effigy. The Manhattan Project is said to have been hatched at this annual meeting back in the '40's. Bilderberg: A secret meeting that takes place one weekend a year, including heads of media, multinational banks, energy companies, and leading politicians. Clinton attended in 1991, became president in 1992. Tony Blair attended in 1993, became head of his party in 1994, became prime minister in 1997. Paul Martin attended in 1996, is Prime Minister of Canada now. It is said that Hillary Clinton attended this year's meeting, but since the meeting is shrouded in such secrecy and under such heavy security, it could not be confirmed. John Edwards is also a former attendee. Other groups include Council on Foreign Relations, whose members included/include several of Clinton's and Bush's cabinet members, and the Trilateral commission. ----- Curious to hear opinions on these groups. Do you think that our representatives' allegiance lie with these secret societies, or with the American people? Do you think that these groups have any effect on policy that affects us, or are these just harmless fraternities? I for one am not sure what to make of these groups, but I do find them fascinating.

And then you tell others that they pick and choose the stories that fit their perspectives. Like another said upthread -- I guess you really don't want anyone to take you seriously. edited to take out attachment. Sorry Bill.

Honest question: Do you trust what this administration tells the American public? Do you take everything they say at face value? Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Gimme a break. It has nothing to do with the "Jewish" media. It has everything to do with multinational corporate elites and the military-industrialists behind the scenes who want to push their globalist agendas through the mainstream politicians that the mass media pimp to a nation of tv-junkies. Whether it's democrat or republican, it is those I mentioned above who win out in the end when we elect the politicians who get the most media coverage. If people would be more diligent about informing themselves, perhaps we'd get better representation. Instead, we get what we deserve for being lazy and eating the shit that's spoon-fed to us by the mainstream media.

I'm not a two-party person. And I'll take what you said even a step further to say that the conventional candidates of both parties are simply two sides of the same coin and are slaves to organizations like The Council on Foreign Relations and Bilderberg. I agree with your statements about Ron Paul, I support him as well. Sad thing is that the press is already marginalizing him. If by some remote chance he gets his party's nomination, he'd be putting himself in danger because he's an outsider.

Why bother clarifying this anymore? It's stating the obvious -- you've made it abundantly clear that you parrot talking points you glean from your oh-so-objective sources. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

Good news. Now imagine how many lives could have been spared if the dipshit-in-chief followed the advice of the generals in the first place.

I don't know what the deal is there in the UK, but here in the USA, government policy dictates that we do not televise body bags coming home, let alone any war footage. As far as limbless soldiers go, they're generally seen in photo ops with the president.

Wow, whip out the Koran and have yourself a shisha pipe! Is that like "I know a black guy so im not racist"? Of course the Muslim 'neighbor friend's name is Jennifer, but that's beside the point.

That sucks the big one. I was hanging out with a couple of jumpers from here last weekend and suggested that we NYC skydivers organize a boogie in Central Park. We could coordinate with the authorities to have a chopper take off from the 59th St. Heliport on the east side, and do jumps from 5K into Sheep's Meadow from morning until sundown. If only we could somehow convince Mayor Bloomberg that this is a good idea ...

At least jenfly00's posts are worth reading -- they're oftentimes sharp, brutally true, and bitingly funny (even you admit that they're entertaining). I think her posts make for some refreshing reading in contrast to those of some mega-postwhores (posts to the effect of "Me, glorious ME!!") in these forums that are only fit for scrolling past without a glance. Some people should just stick to the mediocrity of posting uninteresting fluff garbage in the bonfire.
