Prisons certainly aren't expanding because more crimes are being committed. Since 1980, the national crime rate has meandered down, then up, then down again -- but the incarceration rate has marched relentlessly upward every single year. Nationwide, crime rates today are comparable to those of the 1970s, but the incarceration rate is four times higher than it was then. It's not crime that has increased; it's punishment. More people are now arrested for minor offenses, more arrestees are prosecuted, and more of those convicted are given lengthy sentences. Huge numbers of current prisoners are locked up for drug offenses and other transgressions that would not have met with such harsh punishment 20 years ago. http://www.motherjones.com/news/special_reports/prisons/overview.html And, your point as how this ties to a prison state according to the definition you posted earlier of what a prison state is? Let me guess the drugs or other offenses they were charged and imprisoned for were all a plant by the government to imprison the troublemakers for when they took over and installed a dictatorship? |

But, let me guess, you support socialized healthcare? The American health care is lower than in many other countries and that is due to the policies of profits before people . So, you want the government in control of our health? And, you complain about a corrupt government police state interferring with our lives? But, giving them more control and power and size would be a good idea? Uhhhhh.... |

The 500 tons of uranium have finally been removed from Iraq. Seems that the US and Iraqis were incredibly cautious with its removal. The Iraqis sold it to a Canadian company for millions of dollas. US removes uranium from Iraq - http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080706/D91O8E100.html And, the Iraqis are leading the final purge of al-Qaeda from Iraq: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/iraq/article4276486.ece Definately good news, so much so that the Prime Minister of Iraq is thinking of timetables for US forces having to leave Iraq, though of course with some behind for security and assistance and training when needed. The article also talks about the good investments and diplomacy Iraq is having with its neighbors.: http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL0353522920080707?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=22&sp=true Good news right there ^ A nation any nation under military and political occupation has no government at all . Therefore Iraq has no government as the orders are from the White house and the Pentagon . Does it take a real genius to see the truth ???. Read the last news report. Have you not read and heard about the diplomatic missions and meetings that the Iraqi President and Prime Minister had, alone, with other foreign dignitaries? Iraq is in complete control of over half of their provinces and five more ontop of those are relatively peaceful. Have you ever been to their government websites? They have Ministry for every government necessity. They are fully operational. Iraq is asserting their authorities and other ARAB governments are investing and relieving new and outstanding debts. Iraq's currency and its rise over the last two years and the last few months show the rising strength of the government and economy. The real truth can be found by those actually looking into the issue and researching on their own, unlike those (like you) who will continue to utter the same mantra even when US forces leave and Iraq continues its current path of an economic oil powerhouse and democracy in the Middle East. Those you mentioned are called " the dogs of America " and were working for the CIA for ages . So, the entire Iraqi Constitution, the huge decline in violence, the diplomacy of the Iraqi government with Arab and other foreign leaders, the gaining of sole power over more and more provinces as time advances, the rise of the Iraqi currency, and the rise of the Iraqi economy is all a US and CIA plot to trick the entire world? Please say yes. Since when did the Jews wanted the good for Iraq ???. Look up a man named Emir Faisal. |

Exxon Mobil, isnt doing very well, i know that. But take a look at this. Take a look at this my barbarian friend JK http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/news/stock_troop2.html And thats just from 05, its at $49 dollors a share now (i finally think AMerica is catching on) No kidding, they have a very good business and have flourished with their rebuilding of broken countries, but they have also flourished in the United States with domestic projects. I have land in upstate Pennsylvania where HUGE natural gas reserves have been discovered. The company we are working with started in 1993. Chesapeake Energy Corp. In 1993 they had a stock of 1.3. So, with them going on our land I knew they were in for serious profit as there is a huge natural gas boom. So I went onto Yahoo to see what a share was going for now. July 3, 2003 they were at 9.57 July 3, 2008 they were at 66.78 Good companies in the right businesses will make HUGE profits. Just like this company, Haliburton is the same. A smart, good company in the right business. |

And, these repressive controls over social, economic and policial life of the people would be?
The transfer of gay people into internment camps? The imprisonment of 9/11 Truth Movement? The shootings of protestors? Preventing business analysts from talking about recession (which in economic terms we are not in) on the airwaves? Preventing MoveOn.org from advertising? Preventing third party voices from being heard and sometimes shoving them into jail to quet them? Censoring the internet (despite the articles you post are often solely internet based, harsh criteria of government) with only government mandated material? |

Do you know that the stock of Exxon has been on a steady decline? The same is the case for Chevron and numerous other big other companies. I have a mutual fund with Exxon in it. And it has been going down big time, thanks to Exxon. The five biggest American and British oil companies are going to steal the Iraqi oil . So, they are going to steal the Iraqi oil so their stocks have been sliding big time because of it? WHAT? That makes no sense. The stock and speculators and 'conspiracy' would want their stocks to go through the roof in price to make huge profits. But, that is not happening. |

Unfortunately, North America has completely BIASED news media! If you lived outside of North America, you would realize that. Do you know any Iraqi/Afghani people, personally, I mean? Do you know their side of the story? If not then you are making totally biased statements and therefore you may not have your facts straight. JMO How do you know you're not the one being brain washed? I am amazed when I watch BBC news. Talk about scary ???? I never said brain-washed I said biased. I know Iraqi people, who have been told good and bad stories about what is really going on there. From actual sources aka people there. God gave me a mind, a sharp one at that, and I intend on using it. Make informed decisions and respecting the opinions of others. I am patriotic and I am grateful to those in the military. I am not, however, someone who condones war for greed and this is most certainly that. This has nothing to do with Republican versus Democrat, it is a case of morals and humanity. Now who's being fooled...this is so much more than for greed. If thugs weren't running the UN alot of these problems would be fixed. Can you imagine...they made sudan head of human rights??? If there isn't something wrong with that pic in your eyes then you truly aren't seeing other govts. for what they are. Who knows why other govts. aren't stepping up to the plate on this war of terror anyway. They should be. It's always our country to has to do clean up while everyone else reaps the benefits. Getting something back for us is not being imperialistic or mean or whatever some want to call us. And as far as Sudan is concerned if anyone knows about human rights issues they would. Funny how your helpful government has literally nothing to do with Africa....Oh yeah nothing there they want. Just saying, that's all. Concerning Africa: Mr. Bush, said Mr. Geldof, "has done more than any other president so far." And, if you knew anything about Sudan you would know it is not a black and white issue. You don't want us to go to war with Iran do you? You don't want us to increase tensions and hostility with China and Russia, right? Look into how they are tied into Sudan and how Iran has said any action by western diplomats and such in Africa would be a direct attack on Islam and would bring launch of a holy war. Do your research. Just saying. Should I have said they know more about "human rights violations" not "issues". Is that a fairer statement? No, look at what I said. I understand your points and I understand the concerns. It is brutal there like it was brutal in Somalia. And, we all know how well that one went for us. The issue is it is not a world affair where we can unite with the UN and just go on in. There are foreign roadblocks with China, Iran, and Russia. China gets a huge amount of their oil from Sudan. Iran has new military and diplomatic ties with the Sudanese government. Hezbollah has a base in Sudan as well. It is a very very complicated issue. |

ok - i googled. you seriously think the brainiac gw, the guy who can't pronounce new-clee-er was the mastermind behind 911? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() oh oh...geez your killin me here... all i can say is this is either the most significant event in U.S. history or a gargantuan helping of texan doodoo. my opinion is it is a supertankerloadfull of cut rate fertilizer. Police State? lol, shouldn't you have been carted off to a FEMA prison camp by now then? I noticed it everywhere, not once in the media do they EVER say anything bad about Bush, the administration, or economy anymore. All you hear on the news anymore is good news. Damn this police state. Seriously, what world do you live in? They were granted immunity for tapping FOREIGN lines coming into the US. That means there is a NON-US citizen on one end of the line. They are listening in on that person. You are basing the whole police state around tapping of foreign phones and computers? The US government, if you have a clue, has been tapping both for decades now. They have been listening for a very long time now. It is nothing new. And, no one can even prove they have done domestic spying still. They can only prove foreign calls coming in. FOREIGNER calls. Those are the facts. To base the whole police state is setup around wiretapping is ludacris. If I see you in a prison camp in a few months or year I'll give you props for the warning. But, it won't happen. You are a fearmongerer. You have posted the same topic more times than I can count. You should have just maintained one and continued to post this regular mantra of tinfoil hat stuff than so many multiples. And yes, I do, but the government has no desire to listen in on them. If so, go for it, you can hear me talk about our grand schemes to take over the world. Uh oh, I let it slip. The government is coming for me. |

You should see how bad inflation, the economy, and gas prices are in the rest of the world. It's insane.
On MSNBC this morning the business person showed the stuff out of Turkey. I think it is something like 17% inflation and I know a gallon of gas costs $11!!!!! |

s1owhand, you pretty much hijacked my own points and made them your own with a bit of different wording. But, matters not, nothing will get through to them unless it fits to their own locked in mindset.

My cousin, who I won't say who he is or what he does, knows people who saw the plane heading right at the Pentagon. There are videos of it as well, most no one will see for many many years to come (if ever). So not only do you have an imaginary friend, you have an imaginary cousin too ... Well, I know people, who know people, who were at the bank today, who saw people actually getting money! Does this count too? Bush killed 5000 people on 9/11, and a lot of you are letting him get away with it. sad ![]() Do you expect anything better from a bunch of robots following the media and the Administration ?. They feed me with oil and fruit loops like you. You spread Zionist agenda and propaganda day after day . You are not after the truth as you know none . I only say what my handlers tell me. Damn, you got me paul40, who won't divulge his photo. Now I can't send it to Homeland Security to go pick you up and throw you into a FEMA prison camp after weeks of torture. America is a joke in the world when it comes to foreign policy and bulling and that is all thanks to the neo cons , the Hawks and the Zionists who control the Administration . Yeah, that's why France, Germany, Poland and others have very anti-American leaders all of a sudden. Oooohhh... wait.... What a robot of a response paul. And you call me the robot? Any Administration that is controlled by the Zionists , the Hawks and the neo cons is more than a joke . Senator Joe Lieberman is one day democrat , one day independent , and always with the Zionists......this is the ugly truth of America . Well , this is one example in millions . Those crazy Jews. I tell ya. |
