Q1. Obama should not be supported due to his staunch support of Israel
N = Disagree
find me someone who could make it as far as being a serious presidental candidate, thats been a critic of israel, and i'll answer the question ...
;) i just don't think its going to happen anytime soon, someone hoping for the presidency, being critical of israel, wouldn't make it far enough through the state and media system to even run for president. and being a supporter of a jewish state doesn't mean having to go along with the brutal policies of the zionist government, so i guess what i'm saying is, in america, in the current climate, you have the option of a supporter of israel, or a supporter of israel. what space there is for debate within that is unfortuanetly the best we're going to get for now. and i don't really know the details of his views on israel/palestine, but i'm automatically dubious of anyone whos described as having 'staunch' support for a government such as that in israel
Q2. Drugs should be legalised, to drain the profits from the illegal drug pushers,
and to bring drug addicts into the NHS safety net which would facilitate treatment.
YY = STRONGLY agree
they should be legalised, but not for those reasons. i'll use a favourite quote of mine that sums up my feelings on this
"i, as a responsible human being, will never concede the power to anyone to regulate my choice of what i put into my body, or where i go with my mind. from the skin inwards is my jurisdication, is it not? i choose what may or may not cross that border. here i am the customs agent. i am the coast-guard. i am the sole legal and spiritual government of this territory, and only the laws that i choose to enact within myself are applicable"
so there ;)
but you're right, it takes the whole drug chain out of the hands of criminals, and puts it into the hands of bigger criminals, sorry i mean the government
you can regulate the quality and strength, you pretty much remove all the crime associated with drugs ( which comes from addicts needing to feed expensive addications ) which has huge savings in money, police time and resources. we can start to build a culture where if want your drugs, you can go que up down the hospital with sick people to collect them, remove the 'glamour' and rebelliousness thats associated with the illegality of them. you clean up the whole supply chain, from the farmers up. how many dodgy guns from the current drug chain are the ones ending up in kids hands in this country?
you have to ask yourself, is the current policy working? talking personally, over nearly 18 years i've seen drugs get cheaper, a proliferation of the types of drugs on offer, with increasingly easier availablilty. doesn't sound like much of a success ... how much we spent on this drugs war so far ... how much profit for criminals? ... to fund ... ?
on a side note, its interesting looking at the history of the prohibition of cannabis/hemp in america, the thinking, and big business, behind various decisions, will have to start a thread on that some time
whats really needed is a proper debate on drugs, real education and recognition of the huge differences between drugs, and the reasons people use them, and addiction in general.
plus we're going to need hemp is going to save the planet anyway, so we best start growing plenty of it ;) but i'll save that for another thread
Q3. 911 is likely to have been pulled off or facilitated (i.e. allowed to happen) by Bush insiders looking for a new Pearl Harbour. A proper new independent investigation is needed, especially to look into the issue of WTC 7's collapse, and the whether the WTC buildings were brought down by controlled demolitioned.
YY = STRONGLY agree
i don't agree thats it likey, but i completely agree we need a proper independent investigation into 9/11, as well as 7/7 here in london, especially here in london, because i use the tube
Q4. Zionists **who may include non-jewish zionist supporters .. but I won't use the phrase "international bankers"** control the USA polices & the Media, typically by way of channeling donations to supporters, and creating campaigns against opponents. Part of the annual multi-billion US grants and subsidies to Israel is thus effectively channeled back to the USA for bribe money .. which also ensures the grants and subsidies (i.e. the fraud on the American People) continues.
N = Disagree
i don't agree that they 'control usa polices and the media' ... i do think they have massive influence, but to say they control, i think, is to overstate it. i mean, in the same kinda way, those same powerfull governemnt/business/media ( can they be untangled at the top level?! ) have the same massive influence everywhere, its kinda the nature of the system ... i don't think theres any proper control structure as such. there was an interesting essay about the influence of the zionist lobby in the us, and them chomsky did one kinda saying yeah but no
when you evaluate why they do what they do, work in the interests they do, why news reports come out with the biased distorted image of events that always automatically favour our interests etc, i don't think its as easy as saying they control america ... plus when you throw in the religious side of it that influences things from both sides ( i think its the evangelical christians in america that believe that israel needs to exist for certain bible stuff to be fulfilled ... ) ... but they do definetly have massive influence which needs to be addressed, but thats going to require a kinda deprogramming of a lot of america ...
