Forum Post: USA must understand the ONE reason for its problems

please see this video on Al Jazeera where the President of Iran is interviewed. After listening to his point of view on everything including Zionism I know clearly who I would believe versus the US administration ! it's no contest. USA stop being subservient to a tiny group of people and your problems will evaporate !

While Ahmadinejad might occasionally say something that makes sense, his goals are certainly NOT aligned with those of any people who value any form of peace, democracy, or basic human rights. If this movement is to make it through it's first long winter it had better get in touch with the heartbeat of the American people and not that of a madman.

but neither does the Obama administration Value peace or basic human rights? Look at the way private Bradley Manning is being treated at the moment nothing short of torture. What for? For exposing to the world that American troops murdered eight people in Iraq from an Apache helicopter

Stop paying other countries money to support our policy

Israel is not the sole source of U.S. problems and our problems will not simply evaporate if we discontinue our support, although I never will understand why we unquestioningly hand over millions, billions, and help them afford a quality of life that most Americans would never even dare to dream up.

nichole ok I confess I agree with you but a considerable amount of money would be saved ( and Americans would be a lot happier ) if all this bullshit about terrorism went away. It's all self manufactured by " them " to strip USA of its liberties and freedom. How often do you hear Obama or Hillary Clinton referring to the fact that America is a REPUBLIC not a democracy! Huge difference massive difference!

There are plenty of Americans profiting from this "terrorist" threat. I'm working bottom-of-the-barrel labor right now, and a veteran co-worker is thrilled that he may go back to the middle east as a private contractor and earn $300k and up a year. He's ready to play shoot-'em-up in the streets, whatever he must do for that paycheck. Yes, we would save a considerable amount of money if the terrorist threat were brought down to true proportions, though you cannot claim that only Israel is profiting from this madness.

"tiny group of people"??? I did watch and I must have missed the specification you are referring to.

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

actually I just submitted a new link because I only just realised you only saw a short 2 to 3 minutes clip whereas the full interview went on for 52 min. If you see the whole thing maybe it will become much clearer

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

I never said Israel ! that is vitally important to understand. If you watch the interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad he explains who is the root of the problem

[-] 1 points by nichole (525) 13 years ago

and your reference to Zionism concerns whom?

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

Israel as a nation does not equate to Zionism! There are many good people in Israel who are dead against Zionism themselves and Ahmadinejad says those who are really in control of pulling the world strings probably amount to no more than 10,000. Some are probably even living within the USA

[-] 1 points by nichole (525) 13 years ago

I will give you that ... although, I am now especially unclear as to what you were getting at in your initial post. And, I would say that a considerable percentage of those 10,000 string pullers are living in the USA -- no doubt about that.

I said it was a tiny group of people in comparison to the population of Israel being 6 million.it has been one of the many ploys of these people to fend off questions by inciting the old anti-Semitism accusation to make it appear that people are against Israel as a country. look at this video here of a former Israeli minister who even admits to all this.

This has been a news tactic for decades because we have a society that has forgotten the fact that all things should be questioned and not taken as fact until proven. If they keep us afraid to leave our homes because of gangs and racial stife (which I belive is overplayed) then they don't have to be afraid of us, we fear them.

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 13 years ago

The media glorification of gang violence and the thug lifestyle has been only the latest in a long series of media-driven propaganda tools used to keep the minorities fighting amongst themselves. And it's doing a pretty good job of it. I just wish more blacks would start to realize it. Very few things scare the elite more than a unified black voice. You are correct, it's very overplayed, quite deliberately.

[-] 1 points by notaneoliberal (2269) 13 years ago

You are absolutely correct. Divide and conquer has been a tool to suppress organized labor and to distract the people from real issues. It's the Jews, it's the blacks.the Hispanics. In the past it was Germans, Irish and Chinese.

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 13 years ago

And there's big-time divide and conquer going on right now with this movement. That should tell us something. When they try to divide, confuse, co-opt, we must be doing something right.

" all things should be questioned and not taken as fact until proven." music to my ears!

but you see before we were prohibited from asking questions.... Until somebody spilled the beans !! ...........ooopsss

Ah, so you like Ahmadinejad, huh? Care to put your feet where your mouth is and move there? cricket ... Cricket ... Cricket...

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

please don't show your ignorance

[-] 1 points by owstag (508) 13 years ago

Yeah, right, how ignorant of me to think someone who suggests Admafinejad is cool is a jackass.

No more bong hits for you, kid, your tin foil hat is showing.

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

I didn't say he was cool I said in his interview he seemed considerably more credible than members of the US administration
