What elements of "Islamic culture" has America tried to change, that don't involve human rights abuses? I don't think we have any reason to be in the Middle East either, but to say that America cares in the slightest about "Islamic culture" is a bit naive.
America is by far the most powerful county in the world. Therefore, the problems that it causes are more severe than problems caused by other countries.
The US has fought several wars to liberate muslims from oppression from members of their own religion and from members of other religions. The people of Iraq were incapable or unwilling to liberate themselves, and now they are ungrateful. Maybe we should return Hussein and the rape rooms and chipper/shredders and chemical warfare on his own people. The US liberated the people of Kuwait from Hussein. The US liberated the Kosovar and Bosnian muslims from genocidal oppression. The US enabled the people of Afghanistan to resist soviet oppression. The US has been trying to create an independent palestinian state. To my knowledge, "jihad" is not one of the 5 pillars of islam. I guess it was in your madrassa, though.
The reason is because the US is the vehicle used by the globalists to usher in a world government. This is not speculation, it is fact. You have to understand that it isn't necessarily America itself, but those controlling America, which goes far beyond puppets like Bush and Cheney.
No it's not. The five pillars of Islam are faith in God, daily prayer, fasting during Ramadan, the paying of alms, and the pilgrimage to Mecca. Nothing about jihad or anything even resembling jihad. Are you actually a Muslim from Pakistan, or are you a white kid from Ohio trying to sound cool?
Here we go. . . Once, just once, can you provide some real, factual evidence for your conspiracy theories? You continuously shoot down the opinions of those who disagree with you, yet the only evidence you ever provide comes from conspiracy theory websites, from which you pick and choose the information you want to believe. You ignore the stories that are too far fetched (like lizard-aliens, which seems to be popular on sites which you have linked to for news stories in the past), but the ones that might, just maybe, be possible (elitist bankers controlling everything), you believe. So I challenge you to show us your sources for these undeniable facts. I'm sure if the evidence is really out there, and you are right in judging it to be sufficient in proving your theories, that you can convince us with the same information. Can you?
I just had another thought. Don't you think that if this super powerful elite, who supposedly controls everything, really wanted to create a one-world government, they could do it at their whim? What's taking them so long? eh? eh?
No, they could not do it at their will because too many people would revolt. So they do it gradually through sovereignty-eroding treaties, manipulated and fabricated wars, and government-sponsored terrorism. They basically scare the public into submission so they will willingly give up their rights, while gullibly believing that the government will protect them. Little do they know they are buying into the hands of a tyrannical world government. People like you speak without having a clue what they're talking about. You're like a lot of others in these forums, who think they know everything when they don't know shit. If you don't believe there is agenda toward world government (BTW, this isn't exactly an obscure belief amongst remotely politically educated people, unlike yourself), then check out some of these quotes coming from the elitists themselves, as well as those in the loop enough to know how the world really works. . . "I think there are 25,000 individuals that have used offices of powers, and they are in our universities and they are in our congress, and they believe in one world government. And if you believe in one world government, then you are talking about undermining national sovereignty and you are talking about setting up something that you could well call a Dictatorship - and those plans are there!..." -- Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) "We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." -- Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs (July/August 1995) "If we like it or not, we will have a One World Government. The question is if it will be achieved through consent or through conquest" -- J. Warburg (Rothschild banker) "The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is the American Branch of a society which originated in England ... (and) ... believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established." -- Professor of History Carroll Quigley, Georgetown University, in his book "Tragedy and Hope". "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." -- U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter written Nov. 21, 1933 to Colonel E. Mandell House. "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 the 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 world is now 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 in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991 "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." -- Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli of England, in 1844. "The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes." -- Justice Felix Frankfurter, U.S. Supreme Court. "The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power--Political, Monetary, Intellectual, and Ecclesiastical." -- U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater from his 1964 book "No Apologies"
Alot of those quotes are vague enough to support my own view of the government. "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson." - so? I don't need Roosevelt to tell me that money rules supreme. I already knew that. "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - such as copiously rich corporations and copiously rich politicians? "The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise their power from behind the scenes." - that is just different wording of the previous quote. So, do you mind showing us where you found all these quotes? Or are you worried we'll see it's from the same websites as stories about shape shifting lizard aliens and mind control towers?
Like I care what some 18 year old ignoramus thinks? I really don't. The fact is, I have researched this in depth. You haven't. You are little more than a narrow-minded, inside the box thinking know-it-all. Funny how you selectively chose to ignore the quotes you wanted to ignore. How convenient. Aside from the quotes I added to the previous post since you responded, here are some more: "Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated [emphasis mine], that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government." -- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991 "The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies [marxism/fascism, socialism, capitalism, etc.] to enable them [the Illuminati] to divide larger and larger portions of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other." -- Myron Fagan "In the next century, nations as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all." -- Strobe Talbot, Clinton's Deputy Secretary of State, as quoted in Time, July 20th, l992. "The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." -- New York City Mayor John F. Hylan, 1922 "The Council on Foreign Relations is "the establishment." Not only does it have influence and power in key decision-making positions at the highest levels of government to apply pressure from above, but it also announces and uses individuals and groups to bring pressure from below, to justify the high level decisions for converting the U.S. from a sovereign Constitutional Republic into a servile member state of a one-world dictatorship." -- Former Congressman John Rarick 1971 "The New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down...but in the end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal assault." -- CFR member Richard Gardner, writing in the April l974 issue of the CFR's journal, Foreign Affairs. "The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent." -- Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets "The most powerful clique in these (CFR) groups have one objective in common: they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the U.S. They want to end national boundaries and racial and ethnic loyalties supposedly to increase business and ensure world peace. What they strive for would inevitably lead to dictatorship and loss of freedoms by the people. The CFR was founded for "the purpose of promoting disarmament and submergence of U.S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government." -- Harpers, July l958 "The Technocratic Age is slowly designing an every day more controlled society. The society will be dominated by an elite of persons free from traditional values (!) who will have no doubt in fulfilling their objectives by means of purged techniques with which they will influence the behavior of people and will control and watch the society in all details". "... it will become possible to exert a practically permanent watch on each citizen of the world". -- Zbigniew Brzezinski - (Co-founder of Trilateral Commission
"Funny how you selectively chose to ignore the quotes you wanted to ignore. How convenient." You got me. I didn't specifically respond to some of those quotes. But, you're a little hypocrital yourself, no? I said "So, do you mind showing us where you found all these quotes? Or are you worried we'll see it's from the same websites as stories about shape shifting lizard aliens and mind control towers?" Which was my response to the rest of the quotes. In response, YOU posted more quotes, without giving your source. Doing a bit of your own choosing of what to respond to? And hey, I checked out that "whatreallyhappened" site in your signature, and that actually seems pretty legitimate, with links to stories from the BBC and such that support what they are saying. I also noticed, however, no stories about an elite illuminati conspiracy. Those only seem to show up alongside stories that are clearly bullshit (like the shape-shifting lizards I keep bringing up).
If you want to know where I derived the quotes from, they came from: http://www.freedomdomain.com/nwoquote.htm You need to understand that the "Illuminati" is nothing more than the 13 major banking and bloodline families, as well as their offshoots, which basically control governments and the world economy from behind the scenes via various foundations, institutions (ie: the Federal Reserve, IMF & World Bank) and organizations -- the two primary banking families being the Rothschilds and Rockefellers. Most of my knowledge of the New World Order doesn't come from the web, but from very important books I have read by people who are anything but conspiracy theorists. These people include the great Antony Sutton, Gary Allen, and Carrol Quigley (former Clinton mentor). You need to understand that the US -- as well as the rest of the developed, westernized world -- is indeed controlled by powerful elitists who operate through various elite-fronted, elite-controlled organizations that exist above and beyond the government as most people know it, that shape policy and public opinon via media control from behind the scenes. I highly recommend you look into groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission. Until you understand how these secretive organizations work, you will not understand how the US government is controlled by poweful elites working from behind the scenes. This is not bullshit. This is real. I don't mindlessly believe shit unless there is ample evidence to support it. I am not talking about ghosts, lizards or space aliens. I am talking about what can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
btw, matt... the world gov. WILL happen but mostly likely not in our life times. parnoid. damn. like too many others for decades.
I don't know if they do (because I have no substantial proof). I certainly believe they have the technology to do so if they wanted, however, via such things as HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project). I can understand how just the notion of that might sound completely ridiculous based on the average person's conditioned reality. . . until you actually open your mind and research, instead of immediately shrugging off whatever sounds "impossible" or "ludicrous." Please, take some time to read about HAARP.
I assume you've done research on this to come to such a conclusion? I see full-fledged world government within 10-15 years MAX, if not before then. There are already large factions of the NWO coming into place; first with the EU, then with the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas), which will eventually become the the "United States of the Americas", as modeled after the EU. This is coming from official government documents and insider word-of-mouth. In the not-so-distant future, the US will merge with Canada and Mexico. This is a FACT and is totally part of the plan!
hahahaha. Sorry, I have to post this. http://www.internationaljewishconspiracy.com/articles/ijc_040822_gop_lizard.html I looked into HAARP, and it does indeed appear that it could maybe, possibly affect the weather. In any case, it wouldn't prove the existence of a global elite, just that America continues to try to give itself every advantage over the rest of the world, and that they don't give a damn about our future as a race. I brought up the weather control to try to trap you - the site with quotes you posted mentioned, among other things, that the global elite "controls the weather." I suppose it's not completely impossible, but honestly, I don't think either America nor a global elite will gain much by controlling the weather. And I doubt HAARP would give very accurate control over the weather anyway, if any at all. It seems to be more about communication and surveilance. It seems to me that if these global elite were really rich and powerful as you believe them to be, they wouldn't NEED the approval of the general population to enforce their single world government. The people could bitch and moan all they want, but what could they really do? Not a damn thing. So why the wait? Why do these elite, who supposedly have complete control over everything, have to put off their plans? Why have they cultivated a people who would so adamantly oppose their cause when they could, with the powers you claim they have, make the population worship them? These theories don't make sense. They conveniently claim that an elite exists with an agenda that every person would invariably oppose. They create an abominable group of "elites" that is the enemy of every person, that every person would detest. Yet the elites control how we think. Why in the hell would they so horribly inconvenience themselves? You and I would both agree, rat, that people in general are incredibly malleable and can be shaped as a leader sees fit. So why don't the people worship the elites? They could have had their destruction of borders and placement of a world government over with long ago.
Well, I don't need to look at HAARP to know there is a global-elite, when I have read countless books on it and looked at documents from such groups as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. You can laugh and call it a conspiracy theory, but most people who are well-versed in politics know the aim of these groups is to bring about world government. To think this is soley a conspiratorial view is rather, well. . . naive. Then again, thanks to the controlled media, most people have never even heard of these groups, let alone know their agenda. Going back to HAARP, again, I never said that the government was controlling the weather with it. Rather, perhaps they are experimenting with it, whether it's to study weather modification, communications, or both. The fact is, HAARP is used to bombard the ionosphere with high-frequency radiowaves, and even scientists have said that can profoundly affect the weather and potentially be very dangerous. There is a cause for concern due to the secrecy behind this project alone. Well, in America we have something called the Constitution, which was designed to protect us from things such as the erosion of our national sovereignty and civil liberties. This is why the government needed 9/11 to scare the public into submission, so they could go forward full-force with their Orwellian police-state and destruction of our Constitution. Do you think most Americans would have accepted the Patriot Act if we weren't attacked on 9/11? Probably not. Many Americans don't even support it now, despite the fact that we were attacked, supposedly by Arabs brandishing box cutters, who possessed unbelievable flying abilities.
