The UN is crazy......... Syria

[Aldebaran5]

Neferti - I'm cautious. This is not about Syria. It's about controlling Iranian Oil. We need to take just about every mainstream media article with a grain of salt:

They all want their pound of flesh. There is a great deal of propaganda on both sides.

IF and it is a big IF, they could maintain their squabbles in the Middle East, I would be quite happy if they blew themselves and Israel to smithereens.

However, the US will get involved as Iraq/Afghanistan is getting boring. Australia will be told by the US to send troops ... during the Saddam thing we had about 1500 troops there .. yawn. Like sending a couple to the Queen's Garden party.

Mantra will tell you all about the USA troops lurking in the NT.

World War 3 could begin as early as this week. Many American evangelical Christians will be rejoicing as a mushroom cloud in the Middle East would mean Jesus is on His way.

Sad but true. Nobody really knows who actually used chemical weapons yet.

I'm not worried at anybody getting annoyed at me on here.

Put it this way, the Oil companies and other interests own the CIA, and the CIA pulls the strings in Saudi.

So you aren't like mantra and think the CIA is trawling pathetic little Forums like this to get the stuff on USA dissenters?

Provide a link to where I've said the CIA is trawling PA - otherwise don't lie to make your comments look better.

Most online sites are trawled by various agencies - we just don't know who they're representing.

What Rorschach said.

Just one example below.

The Department of Homeland Security has been forced to release a list of keywords and phrases it uses to monitor social networking sites and online media for signs of terrorist or other threats against the U.S.

The intriguing the list includes obvious choices such as 'attack', 'Al Qaeda', 'terrorism' and 'dirty bomb' alongside dozens of seemingly innocent words like 'pork', 'cloud', 'team' and 'Mexico'.

Released under a freedom of information request, the information sheds new light on how government analysts are instructed to patrol the internet searching for domestic and external threats.

I'm sure there are plenty more which have either flown under the radar or have the approval of our government who made a deal with Optus a few years ago for online filtering.

Initial indications from many Optus customers suggest that they’re far from happy with the Optus decision to rejoin the Federal Government’s controversial Internet Content Filtering trial.

Broadband Industry analyst Paul Budde has also expressed his concern with the Content Filtering retort by Optus and stated that he suspects many Optus customers will be angered by such a decision.

“I thought the credibility of the whole situation was now so low that very few companies would actually put their weight behind it. It is clear the customers of companies such as Optus will not be amused about this sort of activity. So in that respect I am a bit surprised that companies do stick their neck out in a situation like that.” – Paul Budde

Not only does Mr Budde suggest that many Optus customers will be irate by the decision, he also ridiculed the Government’s process as unacceptable for a democratic society, which is also a view that has been aired by a significant amount of the online informed.

The Federal Government push to have mandatory content filtering introduced has appeared very ‘strong handed’, and capitalising further on Mr budde’s views, I too, am concerned with what might become, if such a potential precedent is struck.
