"Of course none of this is to defend the war criminal Obama's decision to implement regime change."

Exactly ... and who are you to dare comment about Libya?

You never lived there. You never saw what I saw. You are clueless about the history.

I bet that you will not watch it fully.

Thanks Mick, but the fact is that Antiwar has never been a platform for free speech.

For years it was totally forbidden to mention 9/11 and NOW you have to tread very carefully if you question the weird conspiracy theory that 19 Arab box-cutter-armed, non-pilots totally defeated N American defence systems, directed solely by a man dying of kidney disease in Pakistan.

Yes Osama bin Laden died at least ten years ago.

What is the correct word to describe Justin and all who believed their "gubbermint"?

Idiot?

RT is one of many directions to go in. Alex Jones for a bit on "the wild side". Jeff Rense for a smorgasbord. The Daily Telegraph for a feed of British "right wing" stuff. FKNews for a satirical view, Global Research. PressTV. Common Dreams.

The list is virtually endless and Atlas Shrugs off those who do not survive, there is no place in Ayn Rands/Justins world for those who fail in the raw world of libertarianism.

A beef of mine is that libertarians are too extreme/doctrinaire; thus you mob doctrinaire/fundamentalist/individualists will NEVER allow even the thought that can and have been rulers for the common good.

You, Rick, feed your governments war propaganda, in total ignorance of facts.

FACT: Libya was the most prosperous and liberal country in Africa ... but you hate liberals, as all 'good' libertarians do, so destroy.

I asked Justin a straight question about Assad/Syria, but he refuses to answer.

FACT, since the utter destruction of Libya, Syria is the only country in the ME where real libertarianism still flourishes, in such important terms as Druze, Sunnis, Shi'as, Kurds, etc. living side by side in a secular state ... yet you, Justin and YOUR government portray Assad as a monster. You side with the thugs who want global chaos.

My first comment has been deleted, so whoever runs Antiwar is giving a false impression.

In my first comment I challenged Justin/Antiwar to have another look at 9/11 and his draconian version of Ayn Rand.

It all got deleted ... at least from what I see now in the comments section ... so you, Rick, have been denied information.

You may or may not have agreed with me, but of course you cannot "get it" - either way - when you are not allowed to read what I wrote.

gsealey was able to read my first comment, before it got deleted; so take a lead from him.

I already asked Justin about initiating discussion, but I got no response. Maybe you will have more luck.

There is that saying that if you go on doing the same thing over and over again with the same lack of success, then .....................

BTW I have been with Antiwar for maybe ten years, despite my differences with your brand of Libertarianism, Justin e.g. Noam Chomsky is a 'social libertarian', and I have donated in the past; but this latest appeal of yours to keep you employed is falling on deaf ears.

You write, "At times, a vast weariness nearly overcomes me, and I just want to take to my bed, close my eyes, and forget. Yet I can’t forget the cries of the wounded, the victims of American "liberation," the ghosts of those slaughtered in the name of our endless "war on terrorism." They haunt me even as I sleep.'

It is not just all about you and your abstracted sympathy. I pulled burned and wrecked bodies from house fires and car crashes, when I served in a fire brigade.

I lived in Libya for a while, where everything I knew is now destroyed and where people I knew are probably dead ... but I do not recall you ever praising Qadafi for making Libya the most prosperous country in Africa.

Straight question. What is your opinion about Assad/Syria?

11 years ago @ Antiwar.com Original A... - What Does Ron Paul Want? · 1 reply · -13 points

So what does this prove? RP is totally ineffective?

No one has taken him seriously, despite decades of being very well paid by the system he says he wants to abolish ... and now he has a son sucking off the public teat too.

What sort of Ayn Randian, Libertarian wants to BOTH destroy the Washington hand that pays him AND start a dynasty in Washington?

11 years ago @ Antiwar.com Original A... - What Does Ron Paul Want? · 0 replies · -3 points

OK Ron, but it does puzzle me that you know a lot about what I wrote, but want $250 from me to make a "badass website/blog".

Why, with your knowledge, do you not already have your own website/blog? Why do you want me to give you $250, when I have offered Antiwar at least $1000 for enabling open discussion?

Antiwar is a well-established website/blog, so why would I be interested in your proposition?

If, perchance, Antiwar does allow open discussion, then my offer would be a far better 'investment' than your offer.

As it happens Antiwar HAS become more open ... a couple of years ago posts, like mine, were censored ... but now I am able to post such links as I have.

How, pray tell, could you construct a better website/blog than Antiwar, or any number of alternatives to the MSM?

11 years ago @ Antiwar.com Original A... - What Does Ron Paul Want? · 5 replies · -5 points

OK Justin, Antiwar, here is a deal concerning you asking for donations every 3 months or so.

I pledge at least $1000, IF you enable full discussion of 911 + enabling discussion of how and why Ron Paul and Alan Greenspan are both disciples of Ayn Rand.

Neither you, Justin, nor Ron Paul has ever addressed "inconvenient facts" about 911.

Neither of you are likely to, but prove me wrong on both of my conditions for donating at least $1000.

You do not have to take http://www.911truth.org/ fully on board.

You are welcome to completely dismiss http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/bbc_wtc...

And, as a true libertarian, you are totally free to rubbish http://ae911truth.org/

And you are free to deny the ideological links of RP and Greenspan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sou2RkjVya8
