Discussions of hell will continue as I do more research. Feel free to keep commenting on previous posts. For now, I just have to talk about this:
I learned of this interesting information over at No More Mr. Nice Guy whose site I surfed into not too long ago.
When all the talk about the bird flu started, I couldn't help but notice how much the mainstream media were talking about it--it wasn't just an Internet story. When the Bush administration began to mention it every other day, I became a bit perplexed. Why in the world would they constantly talk up this bird flu as if it had already mutated and become extremely contagious from human to human? I know this isn't a very charitable thought to have, but I started getting the feeling that they really want a pandemic. I even mentioned this to my mom several days ago. And then I saw the above referenced info. It is absolutely amazing to me how often we hear of Bush cabinet members and friends owning lots of stock in companies that stand to make money from disasters.
I am NOT saying here that I think the Bush administration is going to start a pandemic. Perhaps, however, they have started a scare so as to drive up the stock prices of companies that produce flu medication so that some people will become even more wealthy.

I really hope you are not correct--if you are I might have to give up one of the last shreds of Polyanna politics I have to cling to.
Every time we have one of these scares or an actual disaster, the administration finds a way to benefit financially. I wonder, did Bush own stock in any duct tape companies a while back when we had that silly scare? Is Halliburton really better than all of the other contractors? Collectively, these incidents give off an unseemly stench.
I would now like to remind everyone that all of my Pug Life merchandise is coated with a protective anti-bird flu layer ...
All the threads and smoking guns that are accumulating with Bush's years in office reminds me of the robber Baron days in our country at the turn of the last century. Is this a century mark phenomena?

When I emailed a friend the link to the news article he provided the response below. The assissination and war conspiracy is a joke of course, but the rest is supposedly true.
"It still pales in comparison to LBJ’s whacking of that guy in Dallas so we could move deep into a large scale war supported by a 2nd rate helicopter that won an Army contract based on Lady Bird’s substantial stake in Bell. The same helicopter company that loaned a chopper to LBJ during his campaign in Texas as a new novel way to quickly reach multiple jurisdictions."

Wow, apparently it's always been this way, Tony. Funny how none of this info has come out in the popular media.
Surely not...surely not...I'm with JettyBetty...
