John Conyers is AWESOME...

[femme.democratique]

Has anyone here read "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael Ruppert? Well, its about the 9/11 coverup by an ex-LAPD cop who the CIA tried to recruit to deal drugs back in the 70's...five star rating at amazon.com...anyways, he gives Conyers kudos, really calls him a hero, and doesn't feel that way about anyone else in DC with very few exceptions! Conyers is a good man, and deserves so much more respect from those evil repukes....we must demand it!

1. I have alot of Respect for Conyers

Thanks for the recomendation on the book.

2. I think these drug connections, the CIA, and American corps are

at the core of the reason why we're not getting to the bottom of a lot of what's plaguing our country. Sibel Edmond's testimony holds the key. This thing between the CIA and the Bush Administration is not a good cop/bad copy scenario, but a Clash of the Titans. I sincerely believe that some American corporations have been doing some very bad things, and it has been with the CIA's knowledge -- maybe even part of their strategy. But, the CIA has plausible deniability, where the Bush Administration's cronies may not. That's why donations are terribly skewed to the Republicans. In fact, I bet if you can come up with a list of the top 10 corporations that contributed to the Bush presidency, I suspect we'll find some very desperate people, which would be willing to do some very desperate things to win elections.

But, it's just an opinion.

28. Thank you for this link.

I've just read a couple pages, but this is an incredibly explosive document.

Why doesn't anybody care about this stuff????

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. Because people have learned to react when our criminal

justice institutions get involved. If someone gets indicted they go, OOOooooh! If someone gets arrested they go, AAAAaaaah! If they get convicted, they go, hang um! But anything outside of that requires thinking. And, what are the chances of our criminal justice institutions indicting themselves? Or arresting one of their own? Or of convicting one of their own?

We need to continue encouraging the weeklies (because they are American journalism's last stand. Pun intended.) to continue putting out the truth. I have to believe what a great man once said, "Tell the People the Truth, and the Country is Safe."

[jdog]

30. How are we supposed to know the truth when we hear it anymore?

[The Backlash Cometh]

31. Defining truth is like defining pornography.

I'll know it when I see it.

[propagandafreegal]

34. Tell me about it. You don't know WHAT to believe because you aren't

privy first hand....

[genieroze]

33. To many sheeples in the USA

21. It really resonates with me also... It just makes so much sense nm

[Helga Scow Stern]

3. I just had that book in my hands. I'll look up Conyers in the index.

That's weird. He's not in the index.

[femme.democratique]

4. Can't remember what chapter, in the 9/11 hearings chapter I think

[Dancing_Dave]

5. Conyers made a great showing in Fahrenheit 9/11

And coolest of all, he represents an area where I used to live, including 8 MILE ROAD IN DETROIT!

Yeah, Conyers is one dude who knows the real score and isn't afraid to say so.

[KittyWampus]

6. Don't Need A Fool Like Ruppert To Tell Me Conyers Is Great

[propagandafreegal]

12. Why is Ruppert a fool? His book is so chock full of info. Fools can't

invent all this stuff.

[KittyWampus]

15. Okay, He's Not A Fool... Just A Good Yarn-Spinner

:)

7. Conyers is the Real Deal

There are still patriots in America and John Conyers is one of them. I hope history accurately records his courageous actions over these last few weeks.

[fshrink]

8. He's doing his job. And it's pity that

it has become so admirable. Because it has become so rare on the progressive side. While the reactionaries also do their usual job (e.g. stealing, lying, hiding, cheating, plundering, re-framing, wasting).

[femme.democratique]

9. Doing his job in the face of KKKarl and BushCo! He's got a set for sure!

[propagandafreegal]

10. I'm on page 77 of this book and find it fascinating...I'm a former

constituent of Conyers. Ruppert doesn't compliment many. So, for him to compliment Conyers is a big deal...

The first letter I received as a baby was from Conyers... I know, I know they all do that but it still means alot to me...

[NewsGuyOne]

13. I like Ruppert a lot, but his credibility is low

He got hosed when he decided to trumpet the case of Delmart Vreeland.
I'm not sure I'll ever fully believe another thing he writes.

[femme.democratique]

16. Riiight, not credible.... eom

[NewsGuyOne]

22. Dude, google "delmart vreeland"

'nough said

[femme.democratique]

23. I have googled, one "bad apple"

...doesn't mean there isn't truth in many of the connections he's made in the book. Unless you're suggesting that he is in on all of this...and everything in the book is untrue?

[NewsGuyOne]

24. Dude, the guy was duped by a petty conman

In the face of hundreds of people telling Ruppert he was being conned, Ruppert continued to stand by Vreeland's whacked out claims.

If he gets bamboozled for MONTHS in the Vreeland-Ruppert dog and pony show, how in the world am I supposed to take him seriously?

[femme.democratique]

25. He screwed up, in this case royally, it happens to everyone...

I never said critical thinking wasn't a part of reading his work, its NOT the bible but theres more to believe there than not IMO.

[propagandafreegal]

20. Ok, I googled Vreeland...thanks! I'll put what I read in the proper

perspective.

[jdog]

26. Hold onto that letter.

It could be worth money some day!

[Bill Bored]

14. It's the Oil

Haven't read the book, but part of the gist of it is that if we do not solve the energy problem and the problem of peak oil and excessive reliance on imported oil and gas, we can expect more of the same.

The choice has been made by the Bushies to instead continue down the present path and use what military strength we have left before the fuel runs out to control as much of the world's oil and gas as we can. CIA knows this and some of them do not agree with it.

2000 or 2001 was the first time in history that the majority of our energy was imported. It's likely that this is what's behind it all, including whatever election fraud has occurred. Our economy depends on it.

19. John Conyers. A hero in my eyes!

[mzmolly]

27. Conyers is a DLC tool, a mere shill for the Democratic Party, a robot

for the corporate contolled duopoly.

:P

oK ... Kidding, HE ROCKS! He is THE main reason the Gov. is investigating voter fraud p.e.r.i.o.d.

[seito]

32. Kickin for Conyers

...and mzmolly, You rock girl :yourock:

[mzmolly]

36. Aw shucks.

Thanks *blush* :hi:

[Vidar]

35. Conyers & the congressmen with him are the Dmocratic party.

[Carolab]

37. Extreme respect

Conyers is very savvy. Many heroes and heroines in the Democratic Black Caucus fighting right alongside him. I am very proud of them all.
