   @banasy...I wasn't pointing the finger at you personally, but at Americans in general. To illustrate: I awoke excited to retrieve my Sunday paper and read the CIA/gadhafi headline. But there wasn't even a sidebar story. There was one about an triple x movie star's positive test for aids shutting down that industry, but nothing about this story. It seems that even when Americans find-out these things, the major media outlets still report's what they know most Americans are interested in. Questions? Comments?

   @raven...I've read literally hundreds of your posts over the past several months...you're one of the nicest people here, and you gravitated naturally towords those here that are like that. (he he...wish I were better at following your example, and I have at times. But i got issues...not that this is an excuse. It's just who i am, a vast improvement over who I used to be) Progress before perfection, and principles before personalities. 🙂

   @Philip:

   Of course I know that you weren't singling me out.
   Someone else commented on the lack of outrage amongst our citizens; I think it was saywhat.
   Well, hopefully we can get more info on exactly what the CIA has been doing, so I *can* form a more informed opinion.

   Oh, and as an aside, it's mostly the most frequent and/or the most decent people who get trolled.
   Although it annoys me, and a bass-ackward way it's kind of a compliment.
   Kind of! 😉

   @banasy...great! I humbly and sincerely invite you to goto Youtube and watch "Confessions of an Economic Hitman". (There are several videos and interviews there based on an 2006 Amazon.com 'best selling book' by the same name/author, written by an former NSA (directors of the CIA) operative who explains this much better than I. Since his book, several former NSA/CIA operatives have come forward, and a sequel to the book is forthcoming, if not already out. (it may have already been released, I haven't checked lately)

    Yw...and while you are there, seek-out Dr. Judy Wood, Phd., a Clemson University professor who was dismissed for publishing what you will find from her on Youtube. Truly incredibly amazing stuff she has to say.

    "Faith is the ASSURED expectation of things hoped for, the EVIDENT demonstration of REALITIES though not beheld" Pauls letter to the Hebrew Christaians, Ch. 11, vs. 1. Blind-faith is reserved for those too lazy or just plain-old not interested in studying the number one best selling book of all-time. Those who know their bibles inside and out have the real faith.
