I have been following this thread with a fair bit of interest, even reading GUEST's posts right through, and trying to keep an open mind. Strangely enough after Sept 11, I said to a few people "What if the whole thing was orchestrated by the U.S. govt?". Nobody I spoke to thought that was possible, and even I decided it was too horrifying to contemplate, but having seen the movie "Network" years ago, my mind has been open to the possibility that there is a hell of a lot more goes on behind the scenes than we would ever dream of. Usually I tend to think the best of people, and that is certainly true in my everyday life, but I am not gullible, either.

I don't know all the facts about this, and frankly, if it is as bad as you say it is, GUEST, it would be well nigh impossible to uncover them, so I take the same viewpoint as Little Hawk, and watch to see what happens, and don't necessarily believe everything I hear, particularly if it is second hand information. We have enough to worry about here in Australia, with little Johnny Howard champing at the bit to jump on the Bush war-wagon.

By the way, GUEST, the forum slowed down for me too, only when I was on other threads. When you said it was slowing down and hard for you to get to, and "Your protector is doing what he can to save you from the truth", that sounded a tad paranoid. Comments like that don't help you much when you want people to take you seriously!
