  Boomers are so proud of Watergate, they’ve been crowing about it for 30 years. When W. Mark Felt revealed he was Deep Throat in June of this year, boomers couldn’t stop themselves from filling the airwaves with stories about their past glory. Is this just harmless back-patting? Hardly. This media masturbation is threatening our lives. How? Because, while they’re tossing off on the airwaves, today’s real news stories are going unreported. |

Subject: Chinese Threats Date: Dec 01 2005 04:54:00 PM Author: ARC Chinese generals threaten war and nuclear attacks on a regular basis. It is never reported (in the mass media, at least – the comments do usually warrant a couple of lines of heard-it-all-before disparagements in foreign policy journals) because it happens so often, and because everyone knows that it is nothing but talk and internal machismo. Subject: Too much debt Date: Nov 16 2005 09:50:48 PM Author: A.C. It's not going to happen. Seriously. The quote said only that China would nuke the US if the US came to the defence of Taiwan. The US would only come to the defence of Taiwan if China invaded. China would only invade if Taiwan took more aggressive steps to becoming "independent". Taiwan isn't going to do this, because China would invade. At the moment China is happy to say "Taiwan is a renegade province" and not do anything about it. Besides, the US owes too much money to China for the latter to nuke it... BTW, it's not the boomers who screw up the world. It's the Americans. Subject: didn't think it was true!!

Date: Oct 21 2005 04:23:47 PM Author: krad I've seen a news story about a car in a cul-de-sac the burbs with nobody in it, driving -rather slowly, I might add- in circles because the gas pedal was stuck. It hit a garbage can. Then, the hero of the day jumped into action. He timed his run (almost) perfectly, hurled himself into the car, and avoided... catastrophe maybe(?), no. In any case, he restored balance in the universe, and allowed the half-dozen or so spectators to return to their homes in time to watch the news. Subject: WTF Date: Oct 18 2005 11:32:38 PM Author: DC “Look Behind You” are you fucking joking me? Look in front of you asshole. Do a little research on China’s nuclear capabilities before you run a scare tactic story like this. “hundreds of [their] cities will be destroyed” Bullshit. As of now the Chinese do not have the capability to destroy one of our cities. Am I saying China is a joke and should be ignored? Hell no. China (like Korea) could absolutely become a problem and should be dealt with immediately. But no, we are over in Iraq flexing our might on a mouse. Subject: !

What pearls of wisdom will you unveil for us this time?? I see your spelling and grammar are coming along nicely. You're developing an incredible talent for making others appear extremely intelligent in comparison to you. Congratulations. However, there's something really vulgar about a 56 year old with a mouth as foul as yours - do you get this worked up playing bowls also???

Like, a quietly filthy girl who'll whisper stuff like "you taste so good" or "your cock is so beautiful" in between the slobs? Fuck, I love that! Wait...I don't know if I love it from an over-exciteable, bug-eyed, Viet-hating, Chinese computer nerd who has the world's worst grammar. No, I'm certain I don't want my dick whispered at by such a fellow. Nope. Sorry, DWhisp. Subject: "You shits me!" Date: Oct 13 2005 03:06:10 PM Author: Po Li "You shits me!" "Yeah? Proof it to me!"

Date: Oct 11 2005 02:27:24 AM Author: Damien Yes, watergate is a blip on the radar so to speak, but china threatening nuclear war, that's nothing new. Had you done your homework instead of flying off the handle, you'd have seen that in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005, at various times, the U.S. openly discussed using nuclear weapons against China. It's what we call a pissing match. From 1949 to 1989 the US and the USSR had daily threats of nuclear annihiliation flying back and forth. And taiwan is not an independent country any more than the confederacy was in the american civil war. Get fucking real. It'd be like if the british interfered with our civil war and kept us from attacking florida for 60 years, then we said we wanted florida back into the union. The strategic partnership between china and russia is a little bit worrisome, but "New World Order?" That phrase is a joke, ever since Bush used it after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. All it means is that they're going to start throwing thier weight around some more, and try to exert more influence on other countries. Big fucking deal. Blocs of power are being formed, between europe, the sino-soviet (I anticipate a resurgence of the soviet union) alliance (dubious though it may be), and America (north and south. We can take canada, and latin america is already our playground.) It doesn't mean anything. It's not real. Everyone will fortify thier defenses, but no one has any actual desire to defeat thier enemy and conquer them.

Listen to those who speaks mandarin for a good half an hour & then straight away listen to the way those vietnamese fucks speaks!! They're the most annoying language i have ever come across. The Viets are the trailer trash, they are the ones (asian) who started crimes in Aust. and then started war with others because they feel intimidated by those who shares the same colour as them. They couldnt handle their drugs (especially hammer) and have you seen the way they dress?? Holy Shit - they are definitely in the DON'Ts. These fuckers eat snails!! EEwww. The chinese: well, they've just been over exposed since long time ago, media sux. The reason why is because the Chinese is the one who started to communicate & trade with the western world. All those other asian nation CAME FROM CHINA. Lets remember that. I do not agree/fucking hate that SOB who's ruling China right now though, he's a fucking idiot & he will die for challenging America - he is definitely out of his fucking mind. That motherfucker will sweet kiss his own sorry fucking ass back to his grave. I hope he'll burn in hell. Subject: mao Date: Oct 08 2005 07:56:30 AM Author: DWhisp Umm....hmmm? lets see... First of all, stop going to a fucking cheap Chinese joint. Let me educate you a little about Chinese people. They are separated into different types - yup, thats right. Just like you guys have different types such as the hippies, the rockers, the bogans, etc... Chinese have the peasants who speaks low languages (cantonese) short fucker, mostly & some of them speaks high languages (mandarin) & they usually are taller and dont speak like as if they are shouting and aiming to bite each other's head off (im sure you know what im talking about). This shit came from centuries ago - go to libraries & rent some chinese history videos. Centuries ago, the peasants are out there trying to make as much money from the whites knowing that you dont know much about them (especially when it comes to crappy ass tasting chinese food which doesn’t cost that much to make comparing to the authentic ones which cost a lot more) - they're capitalist - money is everything, dont be fooled, they know no matter how crappy it is, you'll still buy it & fucking eat it. Subject: Hey: *sigh* Date: Oct 08 2005 06:38:23 AM Author: DWhisp But one thing that i do agree about your comment is that China is fucking scary. Subject: Hey: *sigh* Date: Oct 08 2005 06:28:41 AM Author: DWhisp Ok then, proof it to me that it's bullshit - there you go, i am challenging YOU. The govt has been trying to protect 'delicate' news getting into the media as like every other 'big' news, those money making scumbag-motherfucker will milk the shit of our tits: The Readers/Suckers, till they dry. That is why you only hear it coming from some: "Crazy nutcase" or whatever else you want to put it. If you can proof it to me that its BS, then you can rest your fucking case but for now, stop talking like you're so all that & know what you're getting yourself into, because YOU'RE SO FUCKING DON'T.

Communism just doesn't work that well on a grand scale, and everyone on the planet wants to buy goods and services. Nuking America (or Russia or China or anywhere, for that matter) just doesn't make as much sense as trading with them. Even the fucking neocons can see that. Worrying about this shit is just asking the Pentagon to take more of our money. Stupid stupid stupid. Subject: nukes!!!! Date: Oct 03 2005 07:15:33 PM Author: polack well the quote is real (the general retracted later from pressure from his gov't) but the threat isn't. the capitalists of both countries will never allow nuclear war to start, because it would put them at risk instead of just working class soldiers in a conventional war, but that's just some anonymous opinion.

The majority of the Chinese population lives in eastern China. If it came to nuclear war, the United States, using their submarines alone, could wipe out 80% of the Chinese population while we would only suffer a few cities lost. Fuck the Chinese.

Sounds like a Boomer type of thing to do. . . . . . . . . ....AWWWWWWWW, SNAP! Subject: so Date: Sep 29 2005 01:49:14 PM Author: sdf That quote about nuking America was taken a wee bit out of context. The guy who said it is, according to the BBC article, "not directly involved with China's military strategy." Furthermore, it was in the context of America hypothetically bringing tactical nuclear weapons to Taiwan, within striking distance of mainland China. The general also said later that he wasn't speaking for the government. So, basically, this would be like one of our lower-ranking generals, off the record, saying that if China brought nuclear weapons to Puerto Rico, we'd probably nuke them. I mean, no shit. No wonder it didn't get widely reported - it's not newsworthy.

Subject: credibility Date: Sep 28 2005 01:34:56 AM Author: morris peebles if you do a google search for "Chinese General Zhu Chenghu" many articles will pop up about the above quote, most of the sources are indeed of questionable reputability. after some sifting however, there is mention of this threat in various real news sources from around the world. while it is possible that this all got started as an internet rumor, due to the wide variety of sources, it is believable.

Subject: media diversion Date: Sep 27 2005 10:51:46 PM Author: stormy I have been pointing this out for years. While people are obsessed with crap, real news stories always slip by. I remember the recent China threat over Tiawan... because I am always reading the back pages of the freaking newspaper. The front page is usually total crap. Ever been to Heidelberg in Detroit? Ever notice the OJ Simpson house? This shit is being pointed out, and people are too fucking stupid and intrigued by The Fabulous Life to care, let alone even notice.

They're not interested in invading anyone. They're too afraid of white women to want to plunder and pillage. Unlike us whites. We want to fuck everything on earth.

Subject: Confused Date: Sep 27 2005 06:45:44 PM Author: Nico The US is at war. Not China.
