Obama administration policies are malevolent

With proposed unlimited, vague and destructive war powers being inserted into the defense authorization bill, and his prior pronouncements regarding his ability to assassinate American citizens, President Obama has the dubious distinction of possibly becoming the most malevolent president ever. Despite the positive press given to the alleged assassination of Osama bin Laden, that mafia hit was just another demonstration of U.S. willingness to kill anyone, anywhere, anytime. It also clearly demonstrated the seeming irrelevance of Pakistan's -- and every other country's -- sovereignty. Other evil manifestations are the invasion of Libya for "humanitarian" reasons, the ongoing attempt to assassinate Moammar Ghadafi, the continuing drone killing of civilians in the Middle East to supposedly fight terrorism, and the renewal and enhancement of the "Patriot Act".

Government criminals implausible - Really?!

Hammer, you may be right about one thing. "When everything is a plot, nothing is." With a compliant, slumbering, unquestioning media coupled with an indoctrinated, propagandized public, government conspiring becomes little more than standard operating procedure. Your unquestioning adherence to the official conspiracy theory of 9/11, by indicating emphatically that there is no evidence and that all questions have been answered is laughable. What research have you done, Hammer? What questions have you asked? For a start, you might want to check out the "planned" Operation Northwoods to see what our military leaders were thinking in 1962. Your buddy, JFK, who, of course, like every other leader who has been assassinated, was killed by a madman, nixed that Operation. No one, of course, would ever plot to kill powerful men who get in their way. That would be unthinkable. The official conspiracy theory about 9/11 is as preposterous as the ridiculous fairytale about Bin Laden being killed and thrown in the ocean. People, at least some do, question these official stories immediately because they are absurd. There is much more to these stories, or in some cases, much less than what is reported. Your comments about the implausibility of a President planning the murder of Americans is laughable also. But you probably don't believe that planning wars that result in the deaths of thousands, like in Iraq, or the tens of thousands like in Vietnam, based on weapons of mass destruction lies and the phony Gulf of Tonkin false flag operation, is murder. Well, I do. Finally, it boggles the mind that you would actually state the following: "His administration didn't need 9/11 to nudge America into accepting an invasion of Iraq; careless use of facts and misinformation would have been enough." Americans had generally been satisfied with the ten-year war, with sanctions and bombs, being waged against Iraq and were not, as Congress was not, about to send in troops into Iraq. Only the warmongering atmosphere after 9/11 coupled with the obvious lies emanating from the Bush Whitehouse (I guess you believed those lies also - until you didn't) permitted the Iraq war to happen. The real danger you fear already exists; the ready acceptance of official stories, with contrived investigations (they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to launch an investigation into what is the defining moment of this century - really?!) means that the truth never is revealed. Thanks for continuing to be part of the problem.
