Well he's already threatening closure of a second TV station as we speak (or rather type). Hopefully Evo Morales and Rafael Correa don't follow in his footsteps.

But I really think that the most dangerous person alive is the President of the United States... a person is gauged "dangerous" by the potential he/she can do damage, is it not?

And before I would just say that he is misguided in terms of foreign policy, but now it appears that he's trying to preserve his own legacy at the peril of the American people by entrenching deeper in Iraq. From Reuters; the implications of what Tony Snow is saying is scary: http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N30416213.htm

And if this took place, well it would just be like the Roman Emperors of old (it is an op-ed though): http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/viewpoints/stories/DN-geyer_31edi.ART.State.Edition1.4370227.html


Putin's a really shady guy though; but unfortunately no one's really complaining due to worsening political freedoms and the fact that the economy is doing well and thus most Russians support him - just goes to show that people would prefer money to political freedoms, which is why China is doing so well I guess. But at least the Russian people traded in a cantankerous drunkard for a lean, muscular, judo black belt and KGB agent. How cool is that!

That would make me as dangerous as your typical serial killer. Some nut case may create potential, but potential I don't think is a good measure of 'dangerous'.

I actually think the VP is more dangerous than the P. Rove too.

and it's an old story, too. they spun Nasser that way (and he actually was trying to build up a unified middle-eastern empire, but the 'anti-american' came from our media spin).

yeah, the U.S. is the only place where the common working person actually believes the idea that "war is good for the economy." no, war is good for the rich. it only kills off breadwinners among the lower classes, depletes resources, and leaves a major part of the population to suffer mental trauma.

Hmmm, very interesting. No *public face* to maintain, infinite wealth that would obviously be kept within the *family* or something like that AND the ability to maintain this position of power *eternally*. Sound like my kind of people!  
I think you're right about this as there are the *hidden elite* throughout the world and they do control how things flow on this ball of dirt and water we call home. Some would say this is absurd thinking but it isn't. We may not know who or what they are but they exist. A group such as the Bilderberg comes to mind quite immediately. Every year the world's most powerful and influential people gather without so much as a blip on the radar of the press/media, even though some of the most well known reporters and anchorpeople are invited to attend these *meetings*. Doesn't anyone find it odd that a group of the world's most wealthy individuals can get together for a *party* and not be harassed by the press? Those who debunk this logic always fall back on the reasoning of "since these people are important it is necessary to keep their meetings as secret and secure as possible to prevent some harm coming to them at the hands of some loony or conspiracy nut".
It's not that simple people.  

They're very intelligent, very rich, and have a great deal of experience. They probably 'employ' the very best sociology and psychology minds on the planet. I'd bet they spend as much, or more, money covering their tracks as they do doin' their thing.

Look at the label 'conspiracy theorist'. Anybody who has been paying the slightest attention to current events would know that conspiracies do exist, have existed for thousands of years. There are also some who read a lot of stuff and are capable of reading between the lines and connecting well scattered dots. I bet there were some good German folk in the early thirties saying "something isn't quite right here."

They've inundated all avenues of media with ridiculous 'conspiracy theories' in an attempt to discredit all 'conspiracy theories'. And they've been very successful. I see examples of this on almost every message board. On this message board, for example, a member ridiculed another member who put forth a theory by suggesting the member also believed the twin towers were brought down from the inside. I don't necessarily believe this, but it is more plausible to me than even the official story. We spend millions investigating the slightest thing in the US, but, unless I missed it, we found some paper passports in the wreckage, some video tapes of Arabs in airports, and Osama praising the attacks (not accepting responsibility), and a couple of days later we're on the march. We're still on the march, but for some reason, no longer particularly interested in Osama. We investigated what went wrong, but we forgot to investigate who all was involved. And with the constant barrage of violence and scare tactics all over the place, a large majority of the American public was fooled into missing this. Or maybe I'm missing something. I'd be willing to bet large sums of money that there is a conspiracy surrounding 9/11 if I thought proof would ever be brought forth in my lifetime. What that conspiracy is, I'm not sure we'll ever know.

They've successfully been able to place obscure loop holes in many rules and laws that only those who can afford to employ many of the best people in their respective fields are able to find and abuse. These loop holes are unlikely to be found by even the most talented folks without the financial resources to back up the effort.

Marcus, it's the people who finance these types of efforts who are the most dangerous people in the world. For all we know, one or more may even play GalCiv2.

Ah-ha! I knew you were somehow involved with all this.

Thats what Putin said, you say tomato I say tomato... but it all spells the same thing doesn't it

if you don't see it on Unsolved Mysteries, then it's a real conspiracy.



that was a unique case; in some ways, WWII was like an elaborate public works project (as far as its effect on the U.S. economy). things would have been very different if we'd been involved with the war sooner (like in WWI, since so many point to the ways the second was a continuation of the first), or if our industrial-manufacturing economy weren't already in shambles at the time (we were still recovering from the great depression). nonetheless, point taken.

Well thats a lie, cause they "the church of england" bought shares in a company , making "landmines2

So the CofE isn't so pure

At least their your own ideas!

As a Christian myself, it is easy to see that my opinions and actions could be viewed as not my own. I do not like that! and Christians who just blindly tow the company line kinda irritate me as well. I say this.... God gave me a brain and i intend to use it!

Having Faith should not mean that you put aside your own instincts, because that is very dangerous, that is exactly how cult leaders succeed with mass suicides or how muslim extremists succeed in recruiting suicide bombers.

Faith to me means believing in God,mirracles and forgivness not believing that my every day life is not my own to do with as i see fit. And this is different from what allot of Christians believe.... they are all searching for what Gods plan for their life is. I think God's plan for your life is to use the brain he gave you and make your own descisions!

That is nicely abstract!
