I also recall, for example, reading about "CIA attempts to remove Fidel Castro from power". Of course, who would argue that assassinations do indeed remove politicians from power. Someone should publish a Wiki-English and English-Wiki dictionary, just as Neil Clark proposed to publish a Neoconservative dictionary. Oh, another thing I recall reading on Wiki is that the bombing of Yugoslavia was opposed by radicals on the far left and far right.Suvorovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478802923961398964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-7493114575836427222009-04-23T01:26:00.000-04:002009-04-23T01:26:00.000-04:00Concerning Wikipedia:

The hardest thing about the whole choose a side thing is getting to terms that there is a choice to be made and not choosing is a choice itself. They all had their ramifications on different relationships. For me the choice wasn't difficult and there has never been any regret about it.Robstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080913377547236519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-67403496242799736542009-04-22T13:36:00.000-04:002009-04-22T13:36:00.000-04:00Yes, there are rumors circulating as to who might ...Yes, there are rumors circulating as to who might be editing Wiki (and youtube and...).Suvorovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478802923961398964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-4684369934766514632009-04-22T11:26:00.000-04:002009-04-22T11:26:00.000-04:00I'd need to check about Srebrenica.

Sometimes this world is too small. It is warmongers masquerading as pacifists who are most dangerous. I also have another question, about Srebrenica this time. What is the latest count of identified bodies? The reason I am asking you is that I found that sources like Wiki to be similar to the Official Truth sometimes, and so it's difficult to find a reliable source.

One of these days I'll probably write about all the people Izetbegovic used to climb to power, then threw under the bus (sometimes more than metaphorically), and call it "All of Alija's men."<br /> <br />I do suppose I could have noted that many of his followers were also brought across to the U.S., as cheap but skilled workers for the Midwestern meat and poultry industry.

In some towns up to one third of couples could be "mixed marriages", but stil in the surronding rural area, the communication between the communities was really at a minimum.Markohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622807452778822938noreply@blogger.com
