Possibly....however, the pictures in the story don't look Israeli....but then again, I guess that a Mossad hit squad doing wet work in a foreign country (especially an arabic one) wouldn't exactly what to look like Msun with a bigger nose.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

the woman and dude in the middle definitely are not mossad.

a bunch of those brit citizens listed are dual israeli-brit citizens. but the two i've read about have pretty benign jobs (one was a writer?). sounds like somebody else pulled the hit but wanted it to look like the mossad, to be honest.

this seems way too hollywood-like to be the israelis. but it still very well could be.

Bank Of North Dakota: America's Only 'Socialist' Bank Is Thriving During Downturn (VIDEO)

(AP) The Bank of North Dakota - the nation's only state-owned bank - might seem to be a relic.

But now officials in other states are wondering if it is helping North Dakota sail through the national recession.

Gubernatorial candidates in Florida and Oregon and a Washington state legislator are advocating the creation of state-owned banks in those states. A report prepared for a Vermont House committee last month said the idea had "considerable merit." Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore promotes the bank on his Web site.

"There's a lot of hurt out there, a lot of states that are in trouble, and they're tying the Bank of North Dakota together with this economic success that we're having right now," said the bank's president, Eric Hardmeyer.

Hardmeyer says he's gotten "tons" of inquiries about the bank's workings, including questions from officials in California, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio and Washington state. North Dakota has the nation's lowest unemployment rate at 4.4 percent, soaring oil production and a robust state budget surplus – but Hardmeyer says the bank isn't responsible for the prosperity.

"We are a catalyst, perhaps, or maybe a part of it," he said. "To put this at our feet is flattering, but it frankly isn't true."

Well, I'm sure there were plenty of people who wanted to whack him. Israelis. Mexican drug traffickers. Rivals within the Arab community. "Irish tourists".
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

I saw this documentary once about the IRA hiring a team of hitmen to recover an important briefcase. I'm sure they're into murder for hire.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

Jesus ME - you actually have me smiling with hope for the first time in ages.

Terrorist *******s hunted down and killed and arrested like the criminals they are, without any relation to ridiculously useless and wasteful "wars"?

Major corporations taking a sensible stand against one of the most destructive polemists in recent memory, and having the balls to call out one of the most blatantly dishonest and ridiculous public figures we've ever seen, who has somehow actually gained some sort of credibility due to some twisted partisanry?

People looking at a state-run bank with objectivity and practicality instead of knee jerk partisanry?

that is good stuff.

Is there any chance that this colorofchange organization has a personal ax to grind with Beck? ..... just wondering at the remote possibility.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

in Britain of course, and I can just imagine what tactics were used. It's personal ax to grind just the same, in the name of their co founder Van Jones.

Personally, I'd never support forcing political views off the air. The public can decide on it's own whether to watch or not.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

are you suggesting we should restrict the freedom of companies and force them to endorse things?
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

That's a little silly....103 sponsors is more than just one organization going after him. That's a full on public backlash. The quotes from the sponsors speaks volumes.

You can only imagine what tactics were used? It's ****ing England, not the Sudan.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

glad I have no idea what you're trying to construe zeke. I'm clearly suggesting colorsofchange has it's own agenda with Beck. Odd though, that he can't be beaten where it matters. Why not call him out? I doubt people would continue watching if he could be discredited enough on the content of what he sells.

I've only caught bits of his show, there's lots of drama to be sure, but I haven't caught many factual errors when he presented them. Exaggerations yes, but there's plenty of that on television.

You're trying to form an argument that the only possible explanation here is conspiracy.

Glen Beck is a televangelist.
 
Re: OT - The News Thread

no zeke, colorsofchange is a known leftist pressure group, that to me is not a conspiracy.
