SELLING BAD NEWS MAKES BIG BUCKS!

: blankblankblankblankblank
All you tree huggers out there love to whinge about big business and how they are strangling the earth, well it looks like your lobby groups are making a bit of money from your moaning! "The 12 biggest environmental pressure groups in the United States enjoy combined annual revenues of US$1.9-billion, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service figures. Not bad --that's $3-billion Canadian. Only 91 of Canada's two million businesses enjoy revenues as big. Similarly, only 725 of some 20 million U.S. corporations can boast such magnificent cash flow.

Among the green dozen are some -- Nature Conservancy (US$731-million) and the Wildlife Conservation Council (US$311-million) -- that are merely left-of-centre. But there are also genuinely extreme organizations -- the World Wildlife Fund (US$118-million) and the Sierra Club (US$73-million) -- that militate aggressively against the free market and attack property rights to the detriment of the economy and the majority of ordinary people.

The greens' resources ought to be mentioned frequently, perhaps in news reports when they launch campaigns, comment on legislation, or denounce some hapless company that is doing nothing worse than going about its lawful business selling goods or services.

Given the greens' immense resources and influence, they deserve greater scrutiny, and should not be allowed, as now, to sell green extremism as though it were self-evidently good, like motherhood or apple pie. (Come to think of it, they don't much like motherhood -- it produces humans who are, of course, a plague upon the Earth.)" (Hugo Gurdon, National Post)

Appears that this Xenox News editor shares a great allegience with this Patriot character....perhaps he would be better described as the Xenox's News most controversial dribbler

with the same monologue reply everytime...he never reads the solutions and common sense proffered, ignoring them so he can trot out the same line: 'starting world war III is better than doing nothing'. It is what is most annoying thing about his cameo diahhrea

It won't be WW3! Are you scared of some hillbillys in Yemen?? What you and the rest of the mob here say is always the same: "its the Yanks fault...blah blah..George Bush fault...". You lot have offered absolutely no solutions to the current terrorist crisis except blame the US and to let Osama and his Islamo-Fascists stick a bomb up the world's ass.

By attacking the centres of terrorist activities (ie Afghanistan, Iraq) the US and their allies have put a major dampner on Al Qaeda's activities but obvioulsy a lot more needs to be done to stop them. They are hitting the major AlQaeda leadership structure with intelligence driven strikes (such as the hit on Osama's liutenant in Yemen), and with resolute diplomacy standing up to the bullies of the region such as Saddam. It is going to take time, but to stop it now would only leave the job half done at best.

The same old 'you lot all' type generalisation again from our Patri-fart.



'Us against them' is all he can see. The paranoia that clouds him and similar thinkers judgement is so powerful that he cannot see alternatives, glosses over them, dismisses them as if they are not there.



Suggestions of improving intelligence operations, diplomacy, undercover surveillance, assassination (rather than carpet bombing whole nations and creating millions of new long term enemies, angry citizens who will be compelled to join the terrorist organisations as their only chance to mete vengeance), and similar solutions which have been suggested by many, including Xenox posters, are brushed under the carpet by Patriot and his like. Ignored. "You offer no solutions" he replies 'other than do nothing'.



Cannot see for his fear, his only answer "Lash out with weapons of mass destruction."



The US war profit machine propaganda he seizes upon in his fear and paranoia. A poverty stricken enemy that could be eradicated by stealth and wile with technology and behind the scenes coups.



The mafia would be better off running this war on terror than these fundamentalist, paranoid, trigger happy right wing morons, who have been hell bent creating as many terrorist enemies. Creating more enemies than removing.



A swift coup, intelligence, diplomacy, catch them in their beds, create political turmoil within the terrorist ranks, pay offs, setups that create bad blood, make the terrorist paranoid. Cost effective, minimises the massive growth of terrorist sympathisers that Bush has created.



The logical, clever and effective way of dealing with these minority terrorist groups is being swept aside because of a war machine that needs to produce more and more weaponry for profit.



Dickhead Patriot cannot see this.



The solutions to quash terrorism are obvious. Creating enemies of all Islamic children and families in all countries around the world is not it dickheads. Watch your back; your attitude has created so many enemies against the west none of us are safe anymore.

After reading this latest diatribe from you pinkos I'm beginning to...

Actually your soultions to the current problems are ones I agree with.

"A swift coup, intelligence, diplomacy, catch them in their beds, create political turmoil within the terrorist ranks, pay offs, setups that create bad blood, make the terrorist paranoid. Cost effective, minimises the massive growth of terrorist sympathisers that Bush has created."

And President Bush obvioulsy agrees as well as these are the methods that his administration are actively pursuing. Look how many of Osama's cohorts they have captured or put out of action. The imprisonment of the captured Al Qaeda men at Camp X-ray has allowed the US to question these men long and hard about their terrorist organisation and it is starting to pay off with "assassination" of leading Al Qaeda followers. This is the use of "stealth and wile with technology" that you are talking about. Undoubtedly it is continuing on as I write and I'm sure more successes will be seen soon.



But. Where has there been "carpet bombing" except in the mountains of Tora Bora where there are absolutely no civilian population? There have been a few instances of civilians being hurt in the Afghani action, but no more than would have happened in that god forsaken country over any given year in the last century.

As for the engineering of coups I can just imagine the outcry from hacks such as Max Gross if they were to occur. I'm sure he is already written the article to label any change of goverment in Iraq as US lackeys, much the same as he has criticised regime change in the Afghanistan (which is quite funny in itself, the left backing the feudal goverment of the Taliban!).
