Some say and rumors abound that the MSM is parroting the very items they did in the run-up to 9/11 and I agree. Whether that means the detonation of a nuclear device in an American city as some have suggested is for the reader to decide. I don't put it past them; however, that will be -- as we say here in the states -- going to the well once to often. This isn't 2001 and if they think the American people are going to hop to attention for another war after the lies and looting of the past nine years they should be checked into a mental hospital for they are truly insane.
Anyway, make of this what you will and you decide whether I am being well-served by my morning newspaper, New England's largest.
Does it truly deserve a full article inside the paper, or couldn't this have been a "news" brief?
"Wreck revealing little about Confederate sub" by Bruce Smith, Associated Press | August 7, 2010
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — A decade after the raising of the Confederate submarine Hunley off the South Carolina coast, the cause of the sinking of the first sub in history to sink an enemy warship remains a mystery. But scientists are edging closer.
Scientists announced yesterday one of the final steps that should help explain what happened after the hand-cranked sub and its eight-man crew rammed a spar with a powder charge into the Union blockade ship Housatonic off Charleston in February 1864.
Look, I love history but.... of all the things they could investigate between now and then.
Early next year the 23-ton sub will be delicately rotated to an upright position, exposing sections of hull not examined in almost 150 years.
When the Hunley sank, it was buried in sand listing 45 degrees to starboard. It was kept that way as slings were put beneath it and it was raised and brought to a conservation lab in North Charleston a decade ago.
Sunday will mark the 10th anniversary of the raising of the Hunley, discovered five years earlier by shipwreck hunter Clive Cussler.
As thousands watched from boats and the shoreline, the Hunley was brought from the depths and back to the lab by barge. Thousands turned out again in April 2004 when the crew was buried in what has been called the last Confederate funeral.
During the past 15 years, about $22 million has been spent excavating and conserving the Hunley, according to Friends of Hunley, the nonprofit that raises money for the project.
About $10.8 million came from the state and federal government, with the rest raised through donations and tour ticket and merchandise sales.
I'm sorry, America, but I can just think of so many better uses of that money.
This is what your tax dollars were wasted on?
So the MSM could literally dredge up old wounds as a reminder to sell some war and fall campaign propaganda -- the race factor again, America!
Our civil war that was fought over economics and federal power with slavery used as the cover to rally the troops when the war was failing. Some tools of propaganda are the same throughout time.
Look, I didn't like learning it anymore than you did because it exposed the lies of my state-sanctioned education program.
And don't try to twist my analysis into an endorsement of slavery because nothing could be further from the truth. The only ones who endorse slavery are the globalist servants trying to subjugate the planet for their Zionist masters. When you look at the institutions and the double standards they employ it is so obvious even the blind can see it.
Okay, sermon over....
About a half million people have seen the sub that sits in a tank of water at the conservation lab.
An economic analysis earlier this year estimated the project has returned its investment many times over.
Like the stimuloots and bank bailouts, huh?
The study found that publicity from hundreds of news stories, a half dozen documentaries and a made-for-TV movie has generated at least $30 million in a state where tourism is an $18 billion industry.
Yeah, who said? What self-serving study?
The sad thing is when you think about it -- because of this failed federal government -- secession looks like a great idea these days.
One of the better ways to survive the break-up of the empire with as little destruction and violence as possible.
