I'm extremely confused. Are you genuinely appreciative of the viewpoint I've shared with you, or are you just pulling my chain? Let's see some statistics for the "chosen people" controlling the media, please. I hear the "Hebes" believe the sky is blue, must be why BBC also says so. Are you in the "US dun 9/11 with a space laser derp!" camp too?
The fact is this issue ties intimately in with Israel and I believe that's one of the biggest reasons it's not taken as seriously as other conflicts. It's not located on Europe's or America's doorstep, and there are too many people who would happily throw their freedoms away to someone like the Ayatollah in order to relieve themselves of a perceived Jewish NWO conspiracy which simply doesn't exist, or hoping one of its neighbours will give them the comeuppance they deserve for having a relatively prosperous society. You want to see where the most "War, War, Kill, Kill, Now, Now, Faster, Faster" is coming from? Read/watch Iran's PressTV and Hezbollah's Al Manure, it's a theme you'll find in virtually every article that has anything whatsoever to do with Israel or Palestine (and now also Sunnis who refuse to submit to Shia rule).
Again, I'm firmly of the belief Israel can protect itself from any serious threat in the region, but once again my concern is that the UN will stifle their ability to do so as civilian casualties rack up in Syria or Lebanon, and we'll end with another stalemate as in 2006 while the Shia crescent continues torturing, raping and killing its opponents and seeking to add nuclear arms to their existing chemical and biological arsenals. It won't be American troops risking their asses on the ground or knowingly walking into ambushes in populated neighbourhoods while civilians report their positions to Hezbollah by cellphone, so Americans shouldn't complain if those same neighbourhoods get flattened in self-defense once the rockets start flying from their vicinity towards Israel.
CptBork, your opening line from Post #429 : - quote - "I'm extremely confused." - unquote
I believe those 3-words are the first true sentiments that you have Posted on this Thread!
CptBork, you then ask : - quote - "Are you genuinely appreciative of the viewpoint I've shared with you, or are you just pulling my chain?" - unquote
I stated in my Post #353 : "You would probably not believe me, if I told you,..." and "...and again you would probably not believe, if I were to tell you,..."!
I stated in my Post #365 : "I cannot, CptBork, begin to, honestly, tell you..." and "I am not even myself sure that I believe it, when I tell you...".
I Posted #365 in response to you statements in Post #362, which included : - quote - "My primary smell test as far as determining reliable sources of fact...". - unquote
CptBork, if you cannot use your incredible "smell test" abilities to even carefully read and truly understand the meanings of my Posts - how is it that your "smell test" is so great at discerning the validity of, or agenda behind ANY information, disinformation, facts or "Billshut" produced by PROFESSIONAL WRITERS?
CptBork, when you responded, in your Post #349, to my 4 questions asked in Post #347, with the techniques that a "Disinformation Agent" might use - that I made a point to include in Post #347 - well...you OUTED YOURSELF !!!
CptBork, I must repeat now - what your impeccable "Smell Test" must have missed as a TRUE FACT while reading my Post #365:
I am just...sorry...but, honestly, you made so much...so perfectly clear.
CptBork, you have indeed made your self perfectly clear - to me at least - and other Posters on this Forum also.
You attempt to answer questions with rhetoric, Strawmen statements, misdirection and just plain "Billshut".
You use name calling and false labeling in attempting to belittle, slander, ridicule or otherwise marginalize other Posters views, opinions, perceptions and even just open honest questions!
I, dmoe, must tell you CptBork, so use your "Smell Test" and read S-L-O-W-L-Y and CAREFULLY :
IF YOU TALK LIKE YOU WRITE - NOBODY LISTENS TO YOU !!!
BTW - here are "...some statistics for the "chosen people" controlling the media." that you asked for :

Those are just a few of the results that my search engine returned - they will probably not pass your "Smell Test" -
but then again, selective vision has that effect when one chooses to employ it - and even give it such an ironically suitable name such as "Smell Test" !!!
...if you choose...you may perceive this as a "pulling my chain" moment for yourself, CptBork, if that "chain" is hooked to the flush valve of the waste receptacle that your "Smell Test" has mistaken for a source of validated facts!!!
