FORT HUACHUCA — With five individuals taken into custody Sunday by fort law enforcement officers, the sixth annual protest against the post ended.

For the Rev. Jerome Alexander Zawada, a Franciscan Roman Catholic priest from Tucson, Sunday was at least the second time he was taken into custody for illegally entering the installation.

How do you keep a people down? You ‘never’ let them ‘know’ their history.
Keep telling that history; read some great military history. The 7th Cavalry
got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen
years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn’t for the
9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the
7th Cavalry. Read the book, ‘Rescue at Pine Ridge”, and visit

These nitwits are clueless about the necessity to defend our country. If we
don’t, we will be attacked immediately. Ground the drones: What, are you
nuts? UAV’s are an important tool to keep your butt alive. And why protest
torture tactics when they have already been addressed? President Hussein is
closing Guantanimo, remember? And these acts of torture were isolated. It’s
not the United States military policy to torture criminals. Even though they
don’t deserve to live. Maybe these strange protesters don’t remember 9/11. I
can see protesting something that is unfair or immoral to Americans, or
anyone, but these protests are ridiculous. These clowns should have gone to
jail for illegally entering the Fort, and should have permanent criminal
records like anyone else would. Maybe they should move to Iraq, or
Afghanistan. Or Iran? That way they can protest Americans as much as they
want, and be rewarded for it. Maybe they should protest President Hussein’s
destroying of America? Morons.

With all the so-called ‘intelligence’ available at Ft. Huachuca we can’t seem
to stop US troops from torturing and killing innocent people around the world
and training foreign nationals to do the same in their home countries at the
behest of covert US programs that will never make it to AP News or CNN or Fox
(perhaps because all of MSM is owned by large military contractors?) Some of
us feel our task in life involves stopping innocent people from being killed.
Whether it’s here or ‘over there’, whether it’s the slow poison of every
aquifer in the US with a witch’s brew of pharmaceuticals & chemicals — or
whether it’s the outright murder of whole villages IN COLD BLOOD by US drones
operated like a sick video game by controllers 10,000 mi. from the scene of
the carnage. My question: What makes terrorists stop being terrorists?

I see what your problem is. You believe in vast right wing conspiracies.
There’s no rational discussion possible with irrational people, so good luck
with that.

You nailed this one Jesse. I wrote the same thing on another thread to this
idiot because he/she believes in conspiracies and doesn’t believe in facts.

…you revert to name-calling. Now I’m a ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’
believer, I’m irrational, an idiot, a non-fact believer, etc. Here’s my
points, let’s see if you disagree with any of these: 1)Democracy & freedom
depend on citizens having accurate facts on everything related to their
government— foreign policy, domestic spending, defense programs, how our
government treats enemy combatants, etc. 2)The sources we depend on for these
facts decide what is/is not reported. 3)Who owns/controls Fox News, CNN, AP
News, MSNBC, CBS, PBR & all the rest? Do you know? Should you care? 4)It is
entirely possible that all news is already being ‘spun’ by a fascist
government in cahoots with the most powerful lobbyists for their own hidden
purposes. Have you ever once considered that we are not ‘allowed’ to have
just-the-facts-please because if we did, we might see how corrupt our
government-military-financial complex has become & rise up to stop the most
lucrative Gravy Train in history?

I have thought about it. But then I remembered the incompetence of the
government and that the coordination necessary to carry out a conspiracy of
that magnitude negates the possibility. Please refer to Occam’s razor. 9/11
conspiracy theory science has been debunked numerous times and any fool could
tell you that the coordination necessary to complete a controlled demolition
of a building that people are actively working in makes the conspiracy theory
nonsense. Who planted the demolition charges in the building? Where were all
the people that work in the building at when they were planting these
charges? Skyscraper demolition takes specialized experience, what company
would accept a contract to kill Americans like that? Why bother demolishing
WTC 7 when the whole building is going to burn down to the ground if they
just wait?

…agreed to lie. So say members of that commission. See John Farmer’s book
‘The Ground Truth’. Question: If a government is going ‘rogue’ how would you
know it? Should you rely on a potentially corrupt government to investigate
itself? If you do, and there really is corruption which government wishes to
hide, what is likely the outcome of that investigation? ‘NOTHING HERE MOVE
ON’ Just as we see with 9/11. The amount of strange data, unexplained
glitches, destruction of evidence— maybe you’ve never thought to look it
over for yourself? I guarantee, start at any point, you will soon be
neck-deep in a story that refuses to obey its own twisted logic. Google Kevin
Ryan, Underwriters Lab dept. head who questioned his own agency about the
original UL testing of WTC steel vs. UL’s test results of 9/11 debris. He
looked at the evidence, realized “my company is lying about the results” and
lost his job. Ever hear of him before? Why not? Who is Sibel Edmonds? Why
don’t we hear about her?

Title: give it up

Again you show how stupid you are by believing these conspiracy theorists
that really have no evidence to back any of their allegations up. They are
only hearsay from people that are probably mad at their employers for getting
fired for other reasons than what they say. I think you are just naive and
 ignorant.

..is a sign that you don’t know what else to say. You call me stupid, naive,
ignorant. You haven’t done the research. I have. I’ve spent 2 years examining
documents, international news reports, expert opinions, raw footage,
scientific studies. When a government is charged with investigating itself
without benefit of independent research, then comes to the conclusion that
steel buildings fall down of their own accord due to limited fires which they
were specifically built to withstand… well, it reeks of government
complicity. When absolutely no heads roll after an event like 9/11, when the
people who didn’t do what they should have done are not only NOT fired, they
are promoted… then we should all be suspicious. Why has your common sense
been ‘turned off’ on this particular issue? Where’s your curiousity? Why do
all of you Fox News watchers begin repeating the mantra of ‘conspiracy
theory’ when triggered by certain key phrases? BREAK YOUR CONDITIONING!
