Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

It is just such unsatirical hyperbole that I think is going to get the worse response possible from WW4, at least its blogmeisters. From what I gather, that' the fundamental problem. They basically seem jaded. People who hold a certain kind of view are basically profilable, in 99 cases out of a hundred, and those that go in one file usually file lemminglike into any other, and cause any manner of mischief just so long as they can hold on to their conspiranoiicism. Eventually, it's just not worth dealing with those people. Take somebody like Gregory Elich. I've read his work, and it seems to me that he's clearly a smart guy. But he's become absolutely myopic, to the point where he's an apologist for Slobodan Milosevic and Robert Mugabe. I wouldn't want to have to deal with that either. Or take Mike Ruppert, who links to the ludicrous OilEmpire.us out of frustration at those who are not interested in hearing from someone who, in addition to having brilliant insights, encourages us to stock up on precious metals, I guess so we'll at least have something shiny to accuse the Mosad of stealing after the world collapses because now we only have coal to burn. I think you understand the underlying thought process well, and probably all of this is obvious, but I am sick and tired of the imbeciles (and I'm not saying you're one of them) who don't seem to understand that Bill is not a capitalist because he likes the Drug Policy Alliance and opposes the rampant reactionary regimes in the Balkans; that he is not an anti-Palestinian genocidal maniac because he doesn't think the Mosad was stupid enough to kill George Hawi and understands that Israel is not wagging the United States; and he's not a Kool-Aid-drinking chip-implanted Bush-loving obviously Nazi-sympathizing Albanian-drug-ring-loving closet-neoliberal ignoramus because he plays gadfly to our struggle. If the WW4ites don't have a broad enough knowledge on such an issue, it is because we have failed to engage them--your frustration with Bill's dismissal of your view (if it is indeed one; he impugns the "conspiranoiacs" and not 9/11 wonderers) is a microcoom of his with said conspiranoiacs' dismissal of the dialectical process of thinking. I agree with the essential premises held by Griffin, and I also agree with kamqute* or whoever that was that resistance movements are clearly bought out right and left; I have watched my fair share, only to see them "burn out", in his parlance, in terms of the ongoing effectiveness they could have had, and will not regain for years because of the unstoppered pressure. But revolutions are coopted by other forces than global capitalism and it's retarded fanclub; it is bought out by anti-environmentalists like Chavez and chauvinists like Evo Morales. And the process of our thinking, the purity of our motives, and the time for us to analyze are more important than the benefits of knowledge that may arise from the gamble of listening to one who sounds like a "conspiranoiac"--if I'm misreading this, WW4ites, please tell me.

Propaganda:
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

WAR AT THE CROSSROADS
An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.

Don't sound like that
