It's Essential To Be Paranoid

Interesting interview with the head of the Guardian.
I particularly found intriguing the opening of a coffee shop to bring the blog discussions into conversations right as the news is happening. I think we're pretty successful at that in the Gulch. We not just throwing little cynical barbs out there like the comments sections of blogs. We actually discuss what's going on. I appreciate that about this site.

    Well, this isn´t my suggestion khalling. Apparently, it´s not a suggestion either. I am from Argentina, and we have suspected this and much more so. As a citizen of the world, I know for a fact that Hitler, Franco, Massera, Perón, Bush (x3), etc all are mere façades to much bigger pictures and schemes. None of this sounds at all absurd to me. The USA needed to get into WWII, I rest my case in all the sequals that follow. Someone´s cashing in big time with all this, and there´s always been blood on the world´s hands. Lest try to keep an open mind and avoid being fanatical. Be true only to yourself, your "country" well...that´s just fiction for all of us.

    So What? I´ll tell you what. If his retirement plan, prearranged and approved of course, was a bucolic life at the edge of the world, what do you suppose that means?

    I´ll give you a nice paranoid answer to that. WWII was a business ordeal, not an international conflict. After the previous world wars (the spanish revolution, WWI, the french revolution, etc) a select group of people made fortunes of war, and increased ther power and influence on both sides of the Atlantic.

    Hitler was not on his own, he was part of a scheme very much like Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden are nowadays (both alive and kickin´ it in their own retirement plans). How did the USA get out of the deppression? Well mate, through the Enterprise of War.

    Not only is war a demographic control solution, but an industry of trillions of dollars. Of course this is just the obvious, for there are more profound and controversial reasons to belic conflicts that, undoubtably, have spread out all over the world.

    If any of these wars were more than just schemes, well the button most likely would have been pushed. Why not? Because the outcome, if not tangled with during the conflicts, is already set before they even begin. Paranoid enough fot ya?

    Who´s been in every single war since WWII? You got it dude, the USA!

    Sorry about your little one, salemdp. Yes, we should question ALL 'authorities'. I do as I learned the hard way. Those who never have
    experienced 'The Doctor's Code of Silence'
    (as was the title of a documentary some
    years ago) are lucky.

    Why would the US hide the fact that Hitler escaped to Argentina?

    And even if so, who cares? If he had no progeny, so what?

    Released FBI documents prove that they were not only aware of Hitler’s presence in Argentina; they were also helping to cover it up.
    In order to be surprised by this I would have to admit to some measure of trust and believe in our government which does not exist in me. The present practices of many government bodies look the same when you listen and watch.

    Indeed! And there's a peculiar delight in looking through "someone else's stuff", though I think stacks of newspapers would put me off. Have moved similar items and had small furry things jump out a few times.

    Ah yes...I've always wondered about that a bit. I do recall that the most interesting part of decorating the Christmas tree when I was a kid was unwrapping the ornaments and reading year-old newspapers. But I can't imagine stacking them "for further reference".

    It's not paranoia if there truly is someone out to get you.

    The misuse of psychiatric/psychological terms has become an epidemic of sorts. I think about my grandfather, who had a garage full of coffee cans of nuts, bolts, and other parts. Some would now call him a hoarder. I think of him as self-sufficient.

    I like them because they are a balm on my psyche after talking with my liberal friends. I often breathe a sigh of relief after reading some of the blogs here. Of course there are others...

    There's never a reason to give a bureaucracy the benefit of the doubt and so we must always be paranoid. I'm learning this more and more as I've dealt with the medical establishment since my baby was diagnosed with brain cancer. The level of tyranny is ridiculous, but, of course most people don't notice because they just don't question what the docs are doing. I wish I'd realized more fully (earlier on) the necessity of an attorney to have one's child treated at a hospital.

    I like Gulch conversations because they are with people who actually think about important issues, and don't just repeat what they heard on the news or what they learned in government schools.

    Good interview. If the British reporters are not better and the news organizations no better that the British, someone needs to turn the crank on them and the one here to get them back into the true reporters form and not just the socialist MSM form we have her and in England.
    Khalling, I agree I like the conversions and discussions we have here in the Gulch. they are usually wide open with to the point comments and opinions (often presented as fact[I'm an offender in this aspect also].
    If the MSM conducted itself in the same manner, we might have avoided several problems now facing the U.S. but that is the past. We, as a society and country, must move forward and upward.
