  8. Well thats the point you conspiracy nuts always stress. That prisonplanet site you nuts always use - Its run a by a bloke called Alex Jones who uses it to sell his books and dvds - its more biased and one sided then Chelsea vs Crippled blind old men. Hes in it for money off you poor saps. Hes fond of using fancy words and phrases * "It is conclusively proven..." * "If you want to understand..." * "Until you realize..." * "Crime against..." * "Scaring the population into submission" * "New World Order" * "Slavery" * "Secret government" * "Trojan horse" * "Information is the key" * "Open secret" * "Fascistic" * "Tyranny" * "Elitist" http://www.politicalhobbyist.com/debunked/alexjones.html Executive Order 12986 One of Alex's favorite claims is that the US government is giving away its land to the United Nations. He claims that Executive Order 12986, signed by President Clinton on January 18, 1996, effectuated this transfer. Obviously if this was true, it would be a pretty serious charge. Unfortunately for Alex, reading the Order itself dispenses with this ridiculous notion. As it turns out, the EO grants immunity from lawsuits to an international environmental organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCNN). Indeed, it doesn't even give full protection to the IUCNN, because the EO specifically withholds immunity for the organization's property and assets similar to foreign governments, immunity from search and confiscation, and immunity for acts in their official capacities. The EO actually gives pretty watered-down protection to the IUCNN! Where does President Clinton get the power to do this, you might ask? The answer is a statute passed by Congress in the 1940's, today codified as 22 U.S.C. §288, et. seq. It gives the president the power to designate via Executive Order international organizations which will be immune from suit, and also permits him to specify which types of immunity will be given to the organization in question. A later amendment to the act makes the IUCNN an eligible organization, so it's not just the President but also the Congress which thinks this organization should be given immunity. This power has been used fairly consistently since its inception. The annotated edition of the code lists 72 organizations which enjoy immunity, including such benign organizations as the World Tourism Organization, the United Bureau for the Protection of Intellectual Property, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Being on the list is hardly permanent as well; 10 organizations are listed as having their immunity revoked. The ASAP Program & County Commissioner's Court Another of Alex's bogeymen is the ASAP program. This is a kind of involved story, so bear with me. ASAP stands for Absent Student Assistance Program. Basically what it means is that if a student is absent, a police officer visits the parent's home that evening. Now, you might say that this is a horrid waste of both the taxpayer's money and the police officer's time. And you'd be right. But, of course, Alex has to take it one step further. When one of Alex's associates was visited by police officers when his kid was sick (he'd forgotten to call in), Alex and company went ballistic. Alex decided that he and the rest of the Texas Best Seminars crowd would go to the County Commissioner's Court to voice their grievances. OK, so far so good. Alex goes on-air and encourages people to come. Again, no problem. The problem is that somebody at the Court was threatened, or at least claims to have been threatened, by someone they apparently thought to be associated with Alex. Which isn't terribly surprising; although Alex himself didn't advocate violence, many of his listeners presumably aren't so civilly inclined. Anyway, when Alex and crew show up, there's a few SWAT team members around (they're not decked out in body armor or anything; they're just wearing ordinary police uniforms with a little "SWAT" patch on their chests). One of the officers tells Alex to basically not be disruptive. To most people, this is a reasonable request -- government proceedings are entitled to a degree of decorum -- but not to Alex! On Alex's next show, he (again) goes ballistic. Now he's pulling out videotape (Austin County Commissioner's Court is videotaped and shown on another cable channel) and screaming about how the officers violated his rights to free speech, etc., etc. Unfortunately, that's not true; it's pretty clear from the tape that the officers weren't trying to stifle the content of Alex's speech; they just didn't want him to make a circus of the proceedings. Which ought to be obvious: when it came time for Alex to speak, they let him rave on about how much evil and corruption there is in government. He's also upset because the officers were SWAT officers. But so what? SWAT team members have to do something when they're not handling bomb crises or hostage situations. Apparently, the SWAT headquarters in next door to the court. So what's the big deal? Isn't it better to have them at the meeting doing something than resting idle at headquarters? Wouldn't the latter be a bigger waste of tax dollars? Thumb-scanning To demonstrate how Alex can take a legitimate political position and twist it beyond all recognition, look at thumb scanning for driver's licenses. Texas has had this scanning for a couple of years now. And civil libertarians are upset about it; they feel (as I do) that the scanning is intrusive and has great potential to be abused. In a country that values its privacy, this type of program seems to be a huge step in the wrong direction. But naturally, Alex takes it one step further. According to him, this is a deliberate attempt by government to track its citizens for the nefarious purposes of the coming one-world government. The idea, I suppose, is that it'll make it easier for them to herd people off to concentration camps. Let's be realistic for a moment. Scanning proponents aren't evil and they don't intend for the program to be used for evil. It's not a deliberate maneuver by the alleged New World Order. What it is is a misguided policy judgment, and nothing more. UPDATE: On Wednesday, March 25, 1998 Alex Jones was arrested at the local DPS office when he went to renew his driver's license and protest thumb scanning. He was accompanied by a small group of protestors, none of whom was arrested. It is unclear from the footage I've seen whether he was arrested for not having his thumb scanned (unlikely) or for making a public disturbance and keeping other people from conducting their business at the DPS (more likely; the news footage showed Alex at the DPS counter screaming at the clerk that he wanted to renew his driver's license and that he wouldn't submit to a thumbscan when the police arrested him). I suppose Alex now fancies himself a Martin Luther King, Jr.-type figure. I'd dispute that; MLK never said racism came from the New World Order. I could go on and on and on about him
  9. Yup http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/fanta Fanta was invented during World War II in Nazi Germany by the German Coca Cola (GmbH) bottling company. Due to restrictions on shipping between Nazi Germany and the United States during hostilities, the German bottling plant could no longer get Coca Cola syrup. The CEO of the plant, Max Keith, needed to do something to keep the plant in operation and came up with a fruit flavored drink made from whatever he could find. Using apple fiber left over from cider presses and whey, a byproduct from cheese manufacture, Fanta was created and became quite popular. Look at the flavours you can have as well!
  10. Its all bull. If you really wanted to start a war with someone to get their resources - would you kill your kill own citizens on mass or stage a phoney attack on some army base in the middle of nowhere? Which worked for Nazi Germany. besides why invade Iraq and spend billions and billions to get the oil when you could just let trade oil normally? Lots of countries in the world have oil - believe it or not!!!
  11. Portugal once had a empire Fanta was invented in Nazi Germany Croatia has a better football team then England Peru is where Paddington Bear is from. San Marino is the worlds oldest republic Despite having no proper land, the country of Lovely has over 56,000 citizens.

  17. 25.99999 miles - no probs. the last 10cm - oh dear! Whoops! Finish-line tumble put Chicago winner Cheruiyot in hospital http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/23102006/3/finish-line-tumble-chicago-winner-cheruiyot-hospital.html CHICAGO (AFP) - Chicago Marathon winner Robert Cheruiyot was recovering in hospital after slipping on a sponsor's logo at the finish line and striking his head on the pavement. Cheruiyot was listed in stable condition at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital where doctors said his condition was not serious. He was being kept overnight so they could monitor his injuries which included minor internal and external bleeding. "He was a little confused after the race," Cheruiyot's manager Frederico Rosa told the Chicago Tribune. "He couldn't remember what happened. He has a lot of pain in the head. He didn't remember how he fell down." Cheruiyot won in a time of 2hr 07min 35sec. However, his joy was shortlived when he slipped on a corporate bank logo seconds before reaching the tape. He still managed to cross the finish line because his feet were flung forward as he skidding under the ceremonial banner. At the same time he smacked the back of his head on the ground. "Luckily for him, he slipped forward," race referee Pat Savage said. "I've never seen that happen before." Cheruiyot lay on the ground for several minutes before being taken away from the finish area in a wheelchair. A bloodied Cheruiyot asked race officials, "Did I win the race?" as he was being transferred to a waiting ambulance. Fellow Kenyans Daniel Njenga (2:07:40) and Jimmy Muindi (2:07:51) were second and third respectively. Njenga initially thought he had won. "After (Cheruiyot) fell down, I thought maybe I am the one who won the race," Njenga said. "Somebody told me I am No. 2. I have nothing I can do. I have to accept it." And yes i know i shouldnt laugh, but wait til you see it on the telly,
