9. With all due respect
I would like to thank Mr. Ruppert for all his research into peak oil, and into CIA drug running and so on. Good work, and your articles have taught me a thing or two.

However, that said, and with all due respect, THIS ARTICLE frustrated the hell out of me...

The last line: "What do you want?" especially makes me more surly than normal.

Again, with all due respect Mr. Ruppert: what the hell does it matter what I want?

I protested the invasion of Iraq. The invasion happened anyway.

I call, write, and email my congressmen. Two of 'em are republicans. They do want they want anyway, which is carrying out the PNAC agenda.

I read books, I try to share what I've learned. And nothing really changes. I mention that I believe Afgahnistan is just about an oil pipeline? A yawn is about all i get in response.

I vote. It doesn't matter or count. Bush is complicit in the attacks of 9.11.01? Oh, that just can't be, is the reaction I get.

So, piss off, asking me what I want. It doesn't matter what I want. I got very little money. I work for a living, so I got very little free time. And patience, well, that is running thin, too.

Sorry, for sounding so defeated. I am normally more positive. However, tonight, I am very disgruntled.

If you want to know what I want: well, I want to find alternative energy sources, and I want people to have enough to eat, and I want kids to have clothes and books. All kids, everywhere. I want justice for victims of crimes. I want everyone to have his/her day in court. I want enough free time to myself to read read read. And write write write. And think. I want to be free of my boring corporate job, that does pay the bills. So why am I bitching?!?!

There you have it. So what?
