The movie "Argo"
wrote in message news:86d659c8-de8d-4136-8baa-
stuff snipped No, but I am more concerned with what the *voting* public thinks is true that is not. Death panels, economic myths like "tax cuts pay for themselves" and so much more nonsense that is passed among "true believers" like that Nazi screed SM recently posted. sigh Unbelievable. To equate "tax cuts pay for themselves", with Nazis is a new low. In fact, there is some internet rule that says when you've invoked Nazis in a debate about something else, you automatically lose. I guess you missed who introduced Nazis to AHR this week. One of your compatriots. I guess we'll have to call him "Storm Trooper" Mormon from now on because he thinks AHR is the appropriate place to post Nazi propaganda. This isn't his first Nazi-related run-in. Ask HeyBub. Maybe you missed it. My comment was directed at the type of nonsense STM regurgitates in AHR. He generally supports all right-wing causes and tax policies as well as flirting with Nazism from time to time. So I suspect you see the connection now. Are the New Republicans *so* desperate for voters that they'll embrace Nazi-spewing social misfits? Odd that you didn't say a peep about *his* introduction of Nazism in the "Who were the Nazis?" thread. Kind of like the way that no Republican made a peep while Bush spent us into near bankruptcy but they're peeping like a chick farm now. Very "transactional" sort of morality. Here's a brief sanity check that doesn't require quintiles or voodoo economics to understand: If tax cuts paid for themselves the Bush tax cuts should have propelled us to new economic heights. But they didn't. They propelled us into a huge spec bubble and the 2008 crash. Common sense should tell most people reducing tax revenue means creating deficits. That's why "TCPFT" is propaganda. It's not true but some people really, really *want* it to be true and spend an awful lot of money pushing that BS. As for the sister propaganda that tax cuts create jobs, let's just look at the numbers: http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2009/...ord-on-record/ The Bush administration created about three million jobs (net) over its eight years, a fraction of the 23 million jobs created under President Bill Clinton's administration and only slightly better than President George H.W. Bush did in his four years in office. That's the business-friendly Wall Street Journal, FWIW. No jobs created there. That's why they call it voodoo economics. -- Bobby G. |

The movie "Argo"
"nestork" wrote in message ... Thanks, Tegger. 'Tegger[_3_ Wrote: ;3109973'] Here's what diplomat Ken Taylor himself says about that affair: "On Monday, Taylor said he was mollified by former U.S. president Jimmy Carter telling CNN’s Piers Morgan last week that the film greatly exaggerated the CIA’s role and underplayed the Canadians’ contributions. “When a U.S. citizen makes that case, it really has an authenticity to it, and a disinterest,” said Taylor. “He’s just clarifying those first three months.” "Mollified" means pacified or appeased. Jimmy Carter was President while that Canadian Caper happened. He says he was briefed every day on what was happening with the twenty something Americans that were being held hostage by the Iranian revolutionaries and the remaining six that were living in property owned by the Canadian government. If anyone knows what actually happened, it'd be President Carter, and he's saying the film makers both greatly exagerated the CIA's role and underplayed the Canadian role in the rescue. I think this is just the film makers wanting to make this film more appealing to the larger American audience. Americans all want to be great heros full of marvellous ideas. The fact they have to lie shows the reverse is true. In fact they are a clueless bunch of pongos, running about the world inflicting their stupid ideas on luckless people everywhere who own something they want to thieve. |

Of course. Canada is an insecure, stifled, dull nothing of a country. And all the money is in the US anyway. The USA is a busted flush in hock up to it'seyeballs in debt, public and private Due to greed an acquisativeness. The Canadian economy is quite well off. |

The movie "Argo"
"The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... On 8/22/2013 3:08 AM, harryagain wrote: "nestork" wrote in message ... I watched a TV documenary made by the Canadian Broadcasting Company about the movie "Argo", which supposedly documents what happened during the 1979 Hostage crisis in Iran. Those of you who are old enough to remember know that in 1979, religious radicals overthrew the government of Iran. They stormed the US embassy in Tehran and took twenty-something American diplomats hostage. Six American diplomats and agents were spirited off to the Canadian embassy in Tehran where they remained hidden until Canadian officials put a plan together to get them out of the country. Canada made up fake passports and ID for each of the hostages, and made up a story that they were a film crew out to scout a location in Iran to film a science fiction movie to be called "Argo". The film has caused a bit of sarcastic humour here in Canada because it plays down the Canadian role in the crisis, and plays up the American role to the point where it depicts the whole "Canadian Caper" as it came to be called as being planned and executed by Americans, with Canada merely providing the embassy where it all took place. Former President Jimmy Carter, while at Queens University in Toronto receiving an honorary doctorate degree for his charity work commented on the film. He said he was disappointed to see that all of the heroic and imaginative things done by Canadians to get the American diplomats out of Iran were left out, and they were largely replaced by even more heroic and imaginative, albeit fictitious, things being done by the supposedly "American" actors. He said he received updates every day on what was happening in Iran with the hostages, and it went down exactly as the news reports of the time said it did. Ben Affleck, who plays the hero in the story who hatches the plan to get the US diplomats out, and supposedly organizes and executes the whole caper responded to reporters asking him about the storyline by saying: "Don't learn your history from the movies." C'mon guys. We really helped you guys out back in '79. Don't gloss over our role and claim all the credit for yourselves. nestork Pretty typical. TheYanks love to rewrite history. They won WW1 and 2 unaided. They think they defeated Russia. Soon they will have won in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. When Hollywood comes up with a script. Only in the USA are people credulous enough/short memory to take this crap in. Watched "Lincoln" the other day. Mawkish crap. He was as bad as Saddam Hussein in reality. Heck Hairy, perhaps you don't know the difference in an entertainment movie and a documentary? Both can be based on truth or can be works of fiction but most folks assume a movie is a work of fiction and a documentary is based on true facts. It really depends on the producer of the work. ^_^ TDD If you make a movie about a historical figure then it should be accurate. If you want to do fiction, then the characters should be fictional. That way we all know where we are. Even the credulous. If you don't do the above, we are talking propaganda. But ah, you do live in a fascist state as is being revealed more and more every day. |

I'm just hoping that the new President of Iran is willing to show the world that Iran's Uranium enrichment program is being done STRICTLY for the use of Uranium as a fuel in nuclear reactors.
This "catch me if you can" game that the former president was playing is like playing Russian Roulette with the human race. If we poison this good Earth that we live on with radiation, there is no where else to go. Almost certainly, life is abundant in our galaxy and universe, but the distances between planets that can support life are so vast that our moving anywhere else won't be feasible for hundreds of years. This playing games with nuclear weapons is the last thing we need. It's unpopular to say it out loud, but the reason for the hatred of America in the middle east is entirely due to America's support of Israel. At the end of WWII, a congress of Jewish leaders decided that the only way to prevent another holocaust was to have a Jewish homeland. Britain still had colonies in the middle east, and decided that "Palestine" would made a good Jewish homeland. But the kicker was that the Palestinians would be denied their homeland. Maybe the time has come to recognize that the decision to create a Jewish homeland in 1947 (I think it was) was a mistake after all, and maybe it's best for all concerned to return Israel to the Palestinian people and for the Jewish people not to have a separate home land but to live amongst the other people's of the world as a separate religion, as they have done for the last two thousand years (at least). I would volunteer northern Manitoba or Western Ontario as a Jewish homeland. Both areas are rich in natural resources, sparsely populated, but cold in winter. Jewish people are industrious, and so they would make something of that land. They would have to agree to become Canadian citizens tho, cuz I wouldn't want Jewish separation to threaten to tear Canada apart just as Quebec separation is continuously threatening to split Canada into pieces.

The movie "Argo"
Per Kurt Ullman:
You're an optimist. Always (grin). Not really. I just think that through sleight of hand and creative bookkeeping the politicians will be able to keep most of the excrement off the rotating air movement device that long. You will note I DID say large and cumbersome since we are currently missing another opportunity to possibly save our bacon. The zinger is going to be inflation. I don't know how they're doing it, but it seems to me like somebody is already cooking the books. I reach that conclusion by comparing my recurring bills to the published inflation rates. Beeeeeg diff.... and, once you print a trillion dollars, what else can happen? Maybe there's a little delay... velocity of money and all that... but sooner-or-later the whole amount is going to hit the streets. OTOH, some of the people who suffer the most (members of my generation on fixed pensions... myself included) probably deserve it because it was us, as a country, who put those clowns in office. -- Pete Cresswell |

The trouble is most Yanks don't know fact from fiction. There's at least one here thinks Jesus was from America. (Or similar mad theory) Compared to most of the horse **** you believe and post, that's far more plausible. No Satan lives in America. Now THAT'S plausible. In the pentagon to be exact. |

The movie "Argo"/ racial special treatment
Hassan, compared to Zimmerman?
I heard on the radio that Hassan is the only person in history who was in court sporting a USA military uniform, and a full beard. Talk about special treatment. Years ago, the blacks protested when whites were given special treatment. Might be time for us crackers to take to the streets to protest the special treatment of brown people with turbans? ..

I'm just hoping that the new President of Iran is willing to show the world that Iran's Uranium enrichment program is being done STRICTLY for the use of Uranium as a fuel in nuclear reactors. Good grief! How can he show the world what is obviously not true? The extent of the program, the type of eqpt they've bought and continue to try to obtain, the secrecy, the links to Pakistan's A Q Khan and North Korea clearly show that the program is not for use in nuclear reactors for power. Now, if you said you hoped that he would get Iran to stop their nuclear weapons development program, that would make sense. This "catch me if you can" game that the former president was playing is like playing Russian Roulette with the human race. If we poison this good Earth that we live on with radiation, there is no where else to go. Ima Nutjob was indeed a bad guy. But he wasn't running Iran and neither will the new guy. They real power is in the hands of the nutty Ayatollah. Maybe the new guy can move them in a better direction, but given their 30+ year history, I would not bet on it. Almost certainly, life is abundant in our galaxy and universe, but the distances between planets that can support life are so vast that our moving anywhere else won't be feasible for hundreds of years. This playing games with nuclear weapons is the last thing we need. Given the path we're on, it seems increasingly likely that we'll see a nuke used sometime in the coming decades. There are many ways it could happen and between North Korea and the Islamic nuts who would be happy to die and take a million with them, we're headed in that direction. However, don't worry about moving to another planet. We survived the use of a couple in Japan and the open air testing of dozens more. As it looks now, any new nuclear war would be limited, not an all out exchange between superpowers. More likely an attack of some kind on the USA or Israel, and then the turning to glass of a country or two in response. |

You limey louts ran out of cruise missiles in Libya, tucked tail and sailed home like the two time we spanked your asses. It was for use against the Russians. Fool. We flew from the UK to the Falkland islands, the longest war time bombing mission ever. Where did you stop for tea and to refuel? The operative part of the above is "from the UK". By that, you're including the Ascencion Islands because you sure couldn't have done it from bases in England. Even then, you were about as prepared as you were for Hitler. You don't have to believe me, you can ask the RAF: http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/OperationBlackBuck.cfm For the RAF, the first consideration was a relatively simple one, range. The RAF's large aircraft of the time were intended for use in Europe and over NATO waters, air-to-air refuelling capability for these types was previously considered unecessary. Doh! Time to stop for tea! Suddenly, Hercules, Nimrod, Victor and Vulcan aircraft were expected to fly 3,900 miles, loiter on mission, then return the same distance. Marshalls of Cambridge and the RAF engineers among others worked themselves to a standstill fitting probes and tank systems to a variety of types, testing the new fittings almost as the paint dried. The practical result of all this frenetic activity was that just before midnight on 30 April, two crews from 101 Squadron climbed into two 22 year-old bombers to set out on what was then the longest bombing mission ever attempted. On the first mission, sitting in the bomb bay of each of the two Vulcans were 21 1,000 lb (454 Kg) bombs, over nine tons of high explosive, which, combined with the full fuel load, meant that both aircraft were over 2½ tons over their maximum weights. Because Ascension Island is relatively hot, the overloaded aircraft would have to run their four 20,000lb thrust Bristol Siddeley Olympus 301 engines at 103% power to get off the ground. The scene in the dark of the softly lit cockpits, the runway lights stretching away between the volcano and hills of Ascension, the banshee howl of the Vulcan and the slow acceleration of the lights is far better imagined than described. The impressive line up of Victor tankers at Ascension island Only one Vulcan would make fly each of the seven planned missions, codenamed 'Operation Black Buck', the second aircraft was intended as an airborne spare in case of any failure in the prime bomber. To fly this distance, and to return, each mission required the support of twelve Handley Page Victor K2 tankers of 55 and 57 Squadrons on the outbound leg, and a further two Victors and a Nimrod on the return leg. Wow, after all that, using 16 aircraft, you managed to actually deliver one payload of 21,000 pounds of bombs. But you're apparently right, it did set a record at the time. One that has since been broken by the USA with nonstop roundtrip flights of B2 bombers from Missouri to Iraq and more recently to Libya. At 5500 and 6700 miles one way from the heart of the USA, not some forward base, those bombing runs far exceeded your 3300 mile journey to the Falklands from the Ascencion Islands base. And each B2 carried twice the payload of your single Vulcan. So, nice record for the time, but it's been long surpassed. |

We flew from the UK to the Falkland islands, the longest war time bombing mission ever. Yawn We won that war. Not all by your lonesome. The USA provided covert operations. "Caspar Weinberger who was the Defence Secretary at the time was the leader of the group called the ‘Atlanticists’ who believed that America should support her closest NATO ally and it would send a clear message that America did not support brutal and aggressive dictators. His staunch support later earned him a British Knighthood. He provided the United Kingdom with all the equipment she required during the war. Ranging from submarine detectors to the latest missiles. All this was done very discreetly. His actions led to divisions amongst Reagan’s staff. Whilst Weinberger claimed that he has received authorisation from Ronald Reagan to provide covert support to the UK." [...] "The British Ambassador at the time of the conflict Nicholas Henderson expressed his disappointment that when Britain emerged victorious, the MOD forbade anyone from mentioning the role America played during the conflict. They wanted it to be seen as a British victory." http://britainandamerica.typepad.com/britain_and_america/2007/04/americas_role_d.html We also provided AWAC planes to protect your pilots. You lost in Iraq and Afghanistan. SO then the Yoo Kay lost to. Got it. ****ferbrains. Fool. |
