The reason that they haven't taken everything out yet is that they are saving some for us. Announced today that 1500 Australian troops on way to area- 4 F/A 18s, a frigate or two, some 707 refuelers and 150 SAS. At last, we get to do our bit and crush these monsters

Huitz, that link you put in is interesting, but who's to say it isn't just more propaganda? I mean, why trust this author and not the US Government? Gotta take it all with a grain of salt. And you probably should've mentioned that it says going to that site opens a CIA FILE on you... People might not like that surprise. I don't really care, but some will.
Simon, read that this morning and thought of you.

You'r right Floppa, I should have warned about that file opening from the beginning,, I just corrected that in the post; hope it's not to late for anyone 
You'r also right about taking this with a grain of salt, but the difference between this site and a plain propaganda one is that the author does produce an exhaustivly extensive set of documents, articles, interviews, cables, and the like to uphold everyithing that he states.
About you're interest in Aztec history, I'll start a new thread on that soon , either on the off-topic or history forum.
I've seen enough. Found that vision in all space.

True... I'd definitely read the book... But why the CIA FILE thing just for going to that link? It's not a banned book obviously? Just security measures since Sep 11th? If I went to a local bookstore to buy his stuff, would they take a picture of me or something? It is a little Anti-American, well it could be... Depends on viewpoint... But then same could be said of his books...

I've taken the time to read some of your link, Huitzilopochtli, and I admit some of it is well known fact (documented in other places). Some of it is speculation and opinions.
Ofcourse it is propaganda. Take any issue, put a spin on it (good, bad or indifferent), and its now opinionated. But when you tilt something in extreme terms, it becomes propaganda. Truth, I think not.
Examples:
"American Holocaust"
"Techno-Fascism"
"Torture, as American as apple pie"
"America's Final Solution"
"Middle East, a New Backyard for America"
"Iraq, Desert Holocaust"
Thats a Propaganda Site. Period. No matter what comes out of somebodies mouth after that, I can't take it for granted. I am highly suspect. Its so obviously biased, how can you believe it?
I know you probably mean well, but your giving very extreme points of view without checking the other side. There are two sides to every story. And sometimes more than that.

That site is monitored by the FBI because of it's extremity of opinions. Every one of us who went there are now on a list of possible subversives. Thanks Huitz!
I wouldn't worry about it though. Unless you have federal warrants out for your arrest or are a militia member.
I already have a big X on my forehead from all the letters I wrote to the former Presidential Administrations. Some of them were not supportive of American Government policy.

The tree showed up when TF added the additional icons to the Avatar section - I guess it was a Fantastic Worlds unit. It reminded me of the story of the Bodhi tree, so I switched my avatar.
Huitz - - It's "weet- see-loh-poch-tlee" yes?? (My Nahuatl ain't so good.) Axtec war god. Does the name mean something about blood? I can't recall.
My favorite is "Smoking Mirror"... but I can never remember the Aztec name.. (probably couldn't pronounce it if I could.) And another was "Obsidian Butterfly"... but I can't remember that one either
MesoAmerican culture has so many similarities to some Asian cultures... it makes one wonder.
