If you really want to add some fuel to your, shall we say, "dislike" of HRC, have a look at this. It's an excerpt of Thomas Frank's new book "Listen, Liberal!". Afterwards, you might have to reassure yourself that HRC is, in fact, not a creation of John Cleese's or Terry Jones'.

Edit: I should probably have provided an appetizer.

"For poor and working-class American women, the floor was pulled up and hauled off to the landfill some twenty years ago. There is no State Department somewhere to pay for their cell phones or to pick up their day-care expenses. And one of the people who helped to work this deed was the very woman I watched present herself as the champion of the world’s downtrodden femininity."

I think pastor Terry Jones has a ton of blood on his hands.

..With regards to American profiteering, it really isn't debatable; the US was publicly trading with both the Axis and the Allies until Pearl Harbor and then American businesses found more secretive ways of trading with Germany after. If one believes in nationalism above all else, then this is horrid, but if money is what someone worships, then this is the correct course of action. Either way, the justification of the war doesn't really come into it.


This is where the Bush family made their money and therefore dictated Americas future - and future disaster. You guys who want to overlook rapacious greed and murder in the here and now as merely unfortunate should bear in mind that by relinquishing your right to morally judge and control your gangsters in deference to big ideas about markets, then through the inevitability of exponential inheritance, you also relinquish your right to control your future.

This is EXACTLY the sort of shit the authors of the constitution had seen over and over in Europe and were desperate to avoid. Oh well.

WWII was an economic and resource war. As was every war the US has been in.
"Just" is a matter of perspective.
Vast sums were made by war profiteering during the war, but that paled in comparison to the influx of wealth following WWII and american global domination.

For you to say; "WWII was an economic and resource war. As was every war the US has been in." leaves you in the unenviable position of being an utterly ignorant commentator on issues you don't understand. Shush.


really? you think WWI started simply because franz ferdinand was shot, ...or WWII had nothing to do with Hitler's push into the middle east and western russian oilfields? or that vietnam and korea had nothing to do with the collision of economic systems (communist totalitarianism and capitalism). or Iraq has nothing to do with oil and Afghanistan has nothing to do with rare earth deposits? good vs. evil is just fine for star wars and the lord of the rings, but on planet earth, it's about competing economic interests.
"Just" war is another term for wrapping brutality in red white and blue and selling it to the masses.

Somehow, this seems really, really tacky.

Edit : Although the clip quoted in this sift's description needs to be repeated in all coverage of this event. Let's see if the media pay as much attention to this as they did to, for example, Terry Jones, when they desperately attempted to manufacture hysteria.

And Spoco, relying on one news outlet is like information malnutrition. You'll end up stunted... and besides, Australian journalistic standards are pretty god-awful.

... and many others, none of which I would rely on individually but, after a process of info amalgamation, it's possible to end up with a mildly accurate picture of what's going on.

Funny someone should mention Monty Python... Mrs. Widdencombe's voice reminds me of Terry Jones' female characters. Without the wit, the intelligence and the boldness, of course... (although I'll bet her stockings are just as sexy).

oh, no - blocked


I suspected it but could not confirm. I replaced the blocked embed

You would think a channel called BBCWORLDWIDE would not be blocked but that would be asking for logic.
