simultaneously with the past.”

The world abounds with knaves and villains, but of all knaves,
the religious knave is the worst; and villainies acted
under the cloak of religion are the
most despicable."
- Benjamin Franklin

"... in politics nothing is accidental. If something happens, be assured it was
planned this way"
- Franklin D. Roosevelt

We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries."
- David Rockefeller

"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
- Woodrow Wilson

“Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who
makes her laws”

Have you ever met a survivor of Pearl Harbor? I have...he was my grandfather.

Well you're the only fool that completely ignores what the Japanese did in WW2 to get themselves to that point and then looks down on others because they have an opposing viewpoint. War sucks, people die, that's a fact. Just like a bar brawl, the noisy drunk in the corner doesn't realize what kinda check his mouth wrote that his butt can't cash until it's too late.

But that idea is obviously wasted on you.

I have actually, several of them, as well as survivors from the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, which delivered the bombs to Tinian. The post I referrenced was NOT a joke about Pearl Harbor... was it? I would have had far worse to say about a joking reference to Pearl than I did about Hiroshima. My point was making jokes about such a horrific event is a cheap shot at the innocent lost, and just not funny. Having served in the Marine Corps, I understand sacrifice AND loss, so don't lecture me on the horrors of war and compare it to a bar brawl. Bar brawls don't vaporize people where the stand or rip flesh from bone while you feel it peeling from your soon to be corpse while you watch.
