There are so many real time tragedies that it would be impossible to list them all. But the simple truth as brought out in the beginning is that whenever a substance of value is found (diamonds here) in an undeveloped local, it is a virtual death sentence for the local population. These people just want to live life without conscription (in the cause of others). Thank whomever that they have not found gold there … YET.
My heart tells me that people are inherently good honest folk, but my experience has sadly proven otherwise.
Would you say that people are mostly good? My immediate answer would be NO … but on reflection, I would say that they are just being people. It is what they do that makes them good or bad, not what they believe or think.
I do not think many humans could have survived (sane) the personal tragedy this black man and his family were forced to endure. This movie portrays the harm (especially to the young) that brainwashing is capable of achieving. It also portrays the depths humans (so they call themselves) can descend into to promote only evil and debauchery under some high and mighty banner.
It also portrays how a corrupt person (the white guy) can be brought to see the truth in the end … that life does not equate well with money.
I do not want to say much more here (now), because I do not want to give the movie away (in case some have not seen it).
I will say this though: If you can tolerate watching cruelty of which only man can inflict upon himself, and have a couple of hankies available … it is well worth watching.
Oh didn't you know? Iraq invaded Kuwait, oh but wait, i saw that in the world media, and because America is so good at controlling world media, it must have been America invading Kuwait so that Bush 2 would have a nice foothold position to apply his it's fake list of excuses to invade Iraq.... so i can see how irrelevant it all is to our conversation (Extreme sarcasm alert hahaha).
I will just copy and paste my previous line, i think it works just as well here "Oh didn't you know?

I will try and be serious here for a moment and ask, can you honestly tell me any non biased historian worth his salt (from any country you like to choose) would not be able to shoot holes in at least half of what your saying throughout this thread?
But you can establish some basic facts, it is not that hard at all, and you can trust mainstream information (but not with 'absolute' trust) for the most part. It is not compulsory to assume everything is wrong nor is it a wise position to take, all it does is sabotage your integrity and your beliefs when it is totally unnecessary. Because i believe you can easily make a legitimate case for the basic principles of what you say about USG activities but without the 'professor nutcase' side of it!
*You should have a little faith and trust in your beliefs instead of sabotaging yourself with unnecessary inaccuracies*
Edit: oh now i remember the other thread.... the Fareinhight911 thread, which seems to have disappeared.
Plenty of mistakes to go round no doubt, i even heard that Saddam was put in power by America!
i saw an obscure documentary years ago where they interviewed American soldiers who were helping the Vietnamese communists resist the Japanese during WW2. These soldiers witnessed some odd things including the fact that the Vietnamese communists were sincere in their desire to be allies with the US after WW2 and were basically back stabbed by the US with South Vietnam! I know BoobzTwo would love to see that documentary but i cannot remember the name of it?
Someone complained so it was moved to https://forums.joeuser.com/408351
There are six member states of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (CCASG) or Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
Show me this on American MSM
people are rising up against the dictatorship and they are being squashed and the US militarty is stationed there with 5th fleet
also, what about China and Tibet?
Only revolution in the world to be sparked by Google Earth. http://www.businessinsider.com/bahrain-google-earth-2011-3#-1
Citizens live in dirt poverty under the country's constitution which prevents anyone from owning private property, however the elite do (illegally) own private property and it certainly is billionaire property according to Google Earth. Another problem is Bahrain is really going above and beyond to oppress the Shiite majority by importing Sunnites from abroad to transform the Shiites into a minority. In other words they are willing to empty out the state coffers to support all the Sunnite immigrants in their nation and offering financial incentives to move in.
That's awesome
You just have to love pictures and the technical wonders looking at us all. With all the messes in the Middle East, I had no idea conditions were so deplorable. This is an Island nation ... and the beaches are ... unavailable?
It is not a good thing to be supported by the West … in the Middle East. I wonder why they promoted Gadhafi’s ouster in Libya … but when one of their own is involved well … the peasants will feel the lash once more with a little help from their friends.
Don't be too surprised that Saudi Arabia has responded to Bahrain's call for military intervention. When nations are facing considerable violent upheaval they often resort to importing foreign military assets, usually mercenaries.
