JFK PLOT YET ANOTHER MEDIA HOAX?

Doubts raised about JFK plot
The Canadian Press
Toronto (Jun 4, 2007)
Two terrorism experts in Canada are casting doubt on whether a group of alleged terrorists had the means or know-how to carry out a devastating attack on a U.S. airport.

Three men -- two from Guyana and one from Trinidad -- are in custody while a fourth is being sought. Russell Defreitas, above, a 63-year-old Guyanese native and naturalized American citizen who lives in Brooklyn, is described as the ringleader.

U.S. authorities say the group was planning to destroy New York's JFK airport and kill thousands of people by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through residential neighbourhoods.

Anonymous said...: What a bunch of bullshit. DV, your seriously rubbing off on me. My ears didnt perk up until the part where they said the "suspects" were from Trinidad and Guyana (sp). After that, the term "propaganda" came to mind along with the phrase "negro flogging of the week."; Jun 4, 2007, 11:36:00 AM
Intellectual Insurgent said...: Have you noticed that this story has been all but dropped from the headlines as of Monday morning? It was all the rage at the end of last week and over the weekend, but today is captured soldiers, rise in robberies and the debate of the Dems.; Jun 4, 2007, 1:30:00 PM
Intellectual Insurgent said...: The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
