America's war on turists


I was connecting from Grand Cayman to London via Miami after visiting one of my six grandchildren. I had gone through immigration, but suddenly an announcement came over the Tannoy asking for me. When I contacted an official I was marched away and shoved into a room with two others – no explanation, nothing. It was absolutely awful and very frightening. I asked why I was there, but they wouldn’t say. I was having visions of Guantanamo Bay.

After an hour and a half I was told I could go. I was furious and demanded an explanation and was told: “We don’t want undesirables in our country. Next time I advise you use hand cream, as your fingerprints have come up as those of a known terrorist.”

(Thus, they are not counting anyone known to be at Guantanamo or Bagram; just people who are missing.)

Don't Trust Government

I suddenly realized why Adolf Hitler was so popular during the first years of his administration.

ABC NEWS - American top military plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in US Cities

n the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.

Republican Chariman Advocates more Attacks on USA so the Pres. can get more Support

At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001 ], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country,” Republican Party of Arkansas chairman Dennis Milligan said.
