6. "Some things in life need to be mysterious,"
"Some things in life need to be mysterious," Noonan said on Sunday about the release of the torture memos. "Sometimes you need to just keep walking. ... It's hard for me to look at a great nation issuing these documents and sending them out to the world and thinking, oh, much good will come of that."

8. Sorry, but I have to
reprise my Easter rant from a couple of weeks ago that I posted and then watched it sink like a stone with no response. There were obviously more important things to discuss, like puppies, pirates and parties with tea.

It seems to be on point with this thread. I think I found some patterns that connect.

Anyone agree?

It’s so much of it that is psyops in large part for as far back as I can remember;
Truman defeats Dewey, Yellow Peril, McCarthy, cold war warms up, Eisenhower over Stevenson, Operation Mockingbird, Sputnik, Kruschev’s shoe pounding, birth of NASA, Nixon’s Checkers speech, Camelot, Bay of Pigs operation, CIA, Operation Northwoods, Cuban missile crisis, Kennedy assassination, Oswald, Ruby, CIA, Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard, Gulf of Tonkin incident, McNamara & Johnson’s Vietnam war escalations, War on Poverty, The New Society, King assassination, James Earl Ray, 2nd Kennedy assassination, Sirhan Sirhan, The Selling of the President 1968, Kissinger & Nixon’s Vietnam disasters, George HW Bush heads CIA, Air America, golden triangle finds US homes, winning hearts and minds, CIA, , Nixon’s War on Crime, Mexican heroin epidemic, Project Intercept, Wounded Knee 2, the Martha Mitchell Effect, Watergate, national protests/public opinion shift force end of war, Ford’s pardon, Ford’s War on Inflation, College of Americas, CIA, fall of US puppet Shah, Iran Hostage crisis, Khomeini , Reagan, wages begin 30-year erosion, removal of Fairness Doctrine, PACs, lobbyists increase influence over both parties, deregulation, eternal tax cuts begin, War on Drugs, covert wars in Central America, CIA, Ollie North, Iran-Contra/Ollie North Israeli weapons, cocaine, Lebanon barracks bombing, unquestioned US support for South Africa/apartheid, Israel/Palestinian occupation in UN votes, AIDS, homelessness, crack epidemic, Bohemian Grove, Carn-St. Germain, Savings & Loan disaster, cold war begins to end with Gdansk/Walenska, ends with collapse o f Berlin Wall, Yeltsin faces down uprising, Intifada, Bush 41’s Desert Storm, Bush v Saddam, Read My Lips Loses, Black Hawk Down, 1st World Trade Center bombing, USS Cole bombing, embassy bombing, John Tower dies, Ron Brown dies, Murrah Building bombing in OKC, Ruby Ridge, Waco Branch Davidians, Contract on America, Monica’s stained dress, opposition to & interventions in Bosnia-Herzegovenia ethnic cleansing, repeal of Glass-Steagall, John Kennedy Jr. dies, Ariel Sharon “visits” Temple Mount, Intifada, 2000 Republican riot at recount in Florida, Scalia court decision in Gore v Bush, 9/11, CIA, Bush 43’s illegal wars, War on Terrorism, Strategy of Tension, permanent reinstatement of military industrial complex, transformation of surplus into deficits, disaster capitalism, shock doctrine, attack on 2-party system, consolidated media ownership, ideological cleansing of US departments, Paul Wellstone dies, “no civil wars” in middle east, “no recession,” in US, endless tax cuts planned, one party dominance planned, endless war planned for middle east, insurance, banks/Dow Jones collapse just before elections, inevitable Obama win, relentless attacks on Obama’s efforts to revive economy from 30+ years of bipartisan abuse.

This is just off the top of my head.

Good night and good luck,

robdogbucky

Guatemala. Cuba. Indonesia. Vietnam. El Salvador. Nicaragua. Panama. Chile... Afghanistan. Iraq.\

Lots of "commas" connect those dots.
