Anybody that analyses the root ideology of ISIS say, and thinks that it has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia is either blind, or didn't take the time to do research.

We invaded Iraq instead of Saudi Arabia where the hijackers came from. All we needed was an excuse
Not only that, since there really wasn't a clear link between 9/11 and Iraq, the Bush administration simply made an excuse (WMDs) to invade.
9/11 simply fell on Bush's lap at a time where he really wanted to invade Iraq anyway for financial reasons
Regardless of those mistakes, we long for Bush now, when you compare him with the orange agent.

The sky is falling- maybe
by joey jojo ini am actually not a 'sky is falling' guy, but i wanted to comment on the australian bushfires.. you may or may not believe the science behind global warming, however i personally put more faith in verified, scientific data than the words of fat cat, self-serving politicians.
climate science has predicted, based on data, that we will see more prolonged, extreme weather events, higher average temperatures, rising sea levels due to ocean expansion and glacial melting.
and this is exactly whats happening.

Btw, there is no better way to see how this denial of climate change is nothing more than an idiotic American political ideology, than to simply travel abroad to different places like I have recently.
You can walk into any room of people in other countries, where they are not partial to American political affiliation, and you quickly realize they only care about facts.
You know, facts. Facts like how greenhouse gases trap heat. Or how carbon dioxide is a green house gas, or how it's a fact that carbon emissions have been going up by orders of magnitude, and how humans are responsible for those emissions.
Once you get rid of the political sheep-like affiliation, even a toddler can understand basic facts.

The universe won't blink an eye, and things will go on. Mankind, even one whole planet, isn't really that important on a universal scale.
I would add that we are not even that important for the earth -- on the contrary. The earth would be much better off if we didn't exist. Dare I say that perhaps we might be working towards exactly that.
We have been terrible stewards of this planet. The industrial revolution, for all the great things that it brought us to make our lives so much better, it also put us on the fast lane towards the precipice.
How do you unwind decades of making financial gain the center of practically every decision that is made? I don't think you can.

This was of course a terrible idea. However Trump knows that his base along with other idiots who believe everything at face-value will lap it up gladly. This can only help him, boosting his image.
The general is gone, but what have we done to actually stop whatever supposed plans were on-going? He already has a replacement, and it is well known that he is following orders from his boss, the Khamenei. Why is he alive?
The usual formula is set:
1 - America takes action under the guise of security
2 - American idiots will lap it up and think they are safe.
3 - America waits for retaliation ( which Iran prob has no choice in order to save face at this point)
4 - America goes to war, claiming it was attacked.
5 - Military business smiles and pockets money.
6 - Wait a few years, and choose a new target to do it again.
Can you blame the military industry? If Coca Cola needed a war to move inventory, they would lobby for a war too.

Not only is this good for the Org, because they can sell real estate, but by combining congos, all of a sudden the sheeple now see a full hall and are encouraged.
Of course this also means that the overall number of members continues to go down.

Even my mother sent me that video of Trump.
In about 5 years, nobody will remember that and they will just wait until some president mentions peace and security.

wow brilliant.
The last of the last days. I wonder if it will catch on -- it might if elders start using from the platform. The org is a master of doing this. Yes the last days have been going on forever, but alas there is now the last of the last day, and this truly will be a short period of time. Better get in line now if you want to survive.

What Do You Think About Organized Sit Ins That Are Disruptive?
by minimus inmarches, sit ins, traffic blocking is the new normal for people to demonstrate.
they block highways, state buildings and roadways.
they may even get arrested but invariably get turned loose by the courts.. i think it’s disgraceful to demonstrate this way.

what the heck is happening to our civilization? This is the future??
Yes that IS the future. The future is not investing in fossil fuels and pretend coal jobs are making a comeback, or making idiotic statements that combine the words "clean" with "coal".
The "kids" that are protesting, are moving the needle in the right direction. This is not about expecting them to walk, stop using plastics altogether or throwing their phones away -- it's not how it should work.
I'm also against the amounts of plastics we currently produce and discard, but that doesn't mean that they key is for me to self-impose a blockade on using all plastics. They key is to have a government that recognizes the problem, creates enough incentives where the market begins researching and developing other alternatives such as bio degradable plastics.

Instinctively I am inclined to agree with you, it feels very wrong to disrupt people's lives but rationally I know without the use of those methods I wouldn't be allowed to vote in the election tomorrow.
Right, and I think that's the point. The entire exercise is meant to draw attention. A group of protesters blocks a highway, and suddenly the eyes of the world are on them. Police is called, citizens are disrupted and yelling at them, the media's heads over with cameras. It's a theater designed to draw attention and put eyeballs on any movement.
However, there is no need to do it in that manner. You can look at the protesters in Madrid last week, which was organized and prepared for, and created lots of traction with minimal unplanned disruption.
