You see that is the problem. WE DO think we are the world police. I used to think our world domination aspirations was a Republican Neocon thing, via The Project for A New American Century, in the document Rebuilding America's Defenses as an example. But after watching the Democraps for a while now, it appears to be a bipartisan effort.
All they needed was:
Further, the process of transformation,
even if it brings revolutionary change, is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor.
Well, they got what they needed on 9-11.
Later on:
Although it may take several decades
for the process of transformation to unfold,
in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and
sea will be vastly different than it is today,
and “combat” likely will take place in new
dimensions: in space, “cyber-space,” and
perhaps the world of microbes.
"I can't remember [how to play] any of my new songs because they've been done for a fucking year,"
So the labels have been denying her the chance to tour as well. So not only are they NOT making a dime from the album, they are denying her the chance to tour, promote the album, and make a living. Nice. Because they care oh so much for the artists.
Careful Mike, pointing out state sponsored terror gets you lumped in with the likes of us Conspiracy theorists. Then, anything you say no matter how true, no matter how much evidence you provide, gets to be dismissed because "he is a conspiracy whacknutjob." (Ive heard them all.) Because conspiracies never happen ya know.
When I told people 6-7 years ago that this is where we were headed I got told; you are paranoid, a conspiracy theorist, a tin foil hat wearer, and every other derogatory name in the book. Well guess what... I sometimes hate to be right.
They are putting the squeeze on us, backing us up against a wall, legally and financially. Either by bankrupting the country, or putting place such draconian laws as to really piss ppl off to the point where we take to the streets, or a combination of both, and that will be the end. Those who choose to fight will be swept up in FEMA camps never to be seen again. Those who try to help them will be labeled domestic terrorists, and will meet the same fate. They will have the excuse they need. Continuity of government.
My company has had to hire three IP liers to fend off patent trolls over the last 6 months. 3) 100,000+ saliries to fight trolls. Would be nice to have that 300,000 for other projects.
I can do better. Do we have a link to the original? I have the day off on Friday and would love to spend some time on it. FOR FREE. Wow greedtards are scratching their heads trying to figure out why in the world someone would do anything for... gasp... free.
Kind of ironic how you AC's spend countless hours here creating content for TD FOR FREE. (excluding the paid shills.)What's your motivation for doing so?
!!!!!!Intellectual dishonesty alert!!!!!!
That’s because greetards ASS U ME everyone creates for profit.
"there will be no more content" - Yeah OK AC. There will be no more gatekeeprs. Plenty of content done by smaller entities that don’t have to recoup the “100million” How quickly you forget about RIAA & MPAA math. Its ok though, we know what you get paid to do.

Lets just open letters as well, and while we are at it lets just implant sensors in your head so those word dont even exist. Forget going to Kmart. (584)
some words are objectionable for mixed audiences.
By the time most kids are around 11 or 12, and maybe even younger, they know curse words. So once again and again and again, trying to protect them with systems wide censorship just doesnt work.
