The real mystery is why so many comedians die young. Is there a global conspiracy to stop the world laughing? lori100: Comedy often comes from pain. Many had troubled childhoods, got involved in a fast entertainment world of drugs and sex....not so surprising that they died young. One of the comedy clubs has a psychiatrist on staff to give therapy sessions to comedians when needed.  chronology: Freud wrote an entire book about comedy and jokes. He suggested all humour that makes people laugh comes from the unconscious. If you are interested in reading the Book it is called 'Jokes and their relation to the unconscious'. Curiously Romans had a low opinion of comedy. They regarded laughing as stupid. ghostgeek: The old Romans were serious chaps: "Savage and taciturn the Roman Hewed upwards in the Roman way."

American intelligence operatives used him as their instrument for more than 40 years, according to former US intelligence officials and diplomats. UPI interviewed almost a dozen former US diplomats, British scholars and former US intelligence officials to piece together the following account. The CIA declined to comment. While many have thought that Saddam Hussein became involved with US intelligence agencies from the 1980 Iran-Iraq war, his first contacts date back to 1959 when he was part of a CIA-authorized six-man squad tasked with assassinating then Iraqi prime minister General Abd al-Karim Qasim. In July 1958, Qasim had overthrown the Iraqi monarchy. According to US officials, Iraq was then regarded as a key buffer and strategic asset in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. For example, in the mid-1950s, Iraq was quick to join the anti-Soviet Baghdad Pact which was to defend the region and whose members included Turkey, Britain, Iran and Pakistan. Little attention was paid to Qasim's bloody and conspiratorial regime until his sudden decision to withdraw from the pact in 1959. Washington watched in marked dismay as Qasim began to buy arms from the Soviet Union and put his own domestic communists into ministry positions of real power. In the mid-1980s, Miles Copeland, a veteran CIA operative, said the CIA enjoyed "close ties" with Qasim's ruling Baath Party. In a recent public statement, Roger Morris, a former National Security Council staffer in the 1970s, confirmed this, saying the CIA chose the authoritarian and anti-communist Baath Party as its instrument. According to another former senior State Department official, Saddam Hussein, while only in his early 20s, became a part of a US plot to get rid of Qasim. According to this source, Saddam Hussein was installed in an apartment in Baghdad on al-Rashid Street directly opposite Qasim's office in Iraq's ministry of defence to observe Qasim's movements. Adel Darwish, a Middle East expert and author of "Unholy Babylon," said the move was done "with full knowledge of CIA" and that Saddam Hussein's CIA handler was an Iraqi dentist working for CIA and Egyptian intelligence. The assassination was set for October 7, 1959, but it was completely botched. One former CIA official said the 22-year-old Saddam lost his nerve and fired too soon, killing Qasim's driver and only wounding Qasim in the shoulder and arm. Qasim, hiding on the floor of his car, escaped death, and Saddam Hussein, whose calf had been grazed by a fellow would-be assassin, escaped to Tikrit, thanks to CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents. He then crossed into Syria and was transferred by Egyptian intelligence agents to Beirut. While in Beirut, the CIA paid for Saddam Hussein's apartment and put him through a brief training course. The agency then helped him get to Cairo. During this time Saddam made frequent visits to the American Embassy where CIA specialists such as Miles Copeland and CIA station chief Jim Eichelberger were in residence and knew him. In February 1963, Qasim was killed in a Baath Party coup. Morris claimed that the CIA was behind the coup, which was sanctioned by President John F. Kennedy. The CIA quickly moved into action. Noting that the Baath Party was hunting down Iraqi communists, the CIA provided the submachine gun-toting Iraqi National Guardsmen with lists of suspected communists who were then jailed, interrogated, and summarily gunned down, according to former US intelligence officials with intimate knowledge of the executions. Many suspected communists were killed outright, these sources said. Darwish told UPI that the mass killings, presided over by Saddam Hussein, took place at Qasr al-Nehayat, literally, the Palace of the End. Saddam Hussein became head of the Baath Party's intelligence apparatus. The CIA/Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) relation with Saddam Hussein intensified after the start of the Iran-Iraq war in September 1980. During the war, the CIA regularly sent a team to Saddam Hussein to deliver battlefield intelligence to aid the effectiveness of the Iraqi armed forces. A former CIA official said that Saddam Hussein had assigned a top team of three senior officers from Iraq's military intelligence to meet the Americans. According to Darwish, the CIA and DIA provided military assistance to Saddam Hussein's ferocious 1988 assault on Iranian positions in the al-Fao peninsula by blinding Iranian radars for three days. The Saddam Hussein-US intelligence alliance of convenience came to an end on August 2, 1990 when 100,000 Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait. America's one-time ally had become its bitterest enemy. chronology: Lori dear, the Iran/Iraq war was an Arms Dealers 'party to end all parties'. In the Movie 'Lord of War' Ian Holmes says to Nicolas Cage 'I do not sell Arms, I take sides' Nicolas Cage retorted 'excuse me, but in the Iran Iraq war did you not sell arms to both sides', 'have you never considered I wanted both sides to lose' replied Mr Holmes. The CIA was just one of many players in that War Lori. lori100: Another missing Asian flight....hmmmm-------- An AirAsia flight with over 160 people on board travelling to Singapore from the Indonesian city of Surabaya went missing after losing contact with air traffic control, the company said on Sunday. A search mission is underway. Sunday, December 28-----------------Flight QZ5801 dispatch information has been made public. It shows the plane took off with 8,296 kg of fuel, substantially more than the planned consumption for the flight - 5211 kg. -------------the fuel amount seems suspicious....will see.... chronology: What has emerged from all the attention to the incident of MH370 is just how many unknown large commercial airliners are being reported which the Authorities seem to know nothing about, also just how many 'black spots' there are in International radar. Perhaps the U.S. and Australian Governments can be persuaded to set up some kind of Joint 'Over the Horizon' Radar to cover the Pacific Airspace in that Region. At least until some kind of International Agreement can be arrived at to monitor 'dead zone zombie airspace'. Just what the heck are all these big aircraft doing that Governments know nothing about? If some people are paranoid about the U.S. or Australia, they should be a lot more paranoid about these large unknown aircraft flying around their region. lori100: .keep this in mind ...their plans for a civil aircraft......these missing planes could be a CIA operation......------------....more of the Northwoods document----"It is possible to create an incident which will make it appear that communist Cuba MIGS have destroyed a USAF aircraft over international waters in an unprovoked attack. "----------"An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers , all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone."--------------------see how they have planned to con the public?..... chronology: Lori my dear, I don't think there is a genuine copy of the Northwoods document around, so all this is just speculation. It is like Lee Oswald's Marine Records, they were destroyed in a fire at Marine Records Building in 1973, everything you read about his 'Marine Files' are just speculation. ghostgeek: An aircraft goes missing over water. Invariably this means something went wrong and the plane fell into the sea. One more reason not to fly. lori100: chrono....it is not speculation, Northwoods is documented------ For George Washington University's National Security Archive page for Operation Northwoods, click here or go to http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/ or go directly to the Adobe Acrobat PDF file at: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf ----------------------------------geek, something may have gone wrong like hijack, shot down....by CIA or others... ghostgeek: It's official, the plane crashed into the sea. Wreckage and bodies have been found. I believe the plane was flying through a storm when it went missing. This suggests technical trouble finished it off. lori100: Prince Andrew and the Underage Sex Slave Ring -- NYMag New York Magazine - 3 hours ago New Allegations Implicate Prince Andrew in Jeffrey Epstein's Underage Sex Slave Ring. lori100: Prince Andrew Has Had A 15-Year Association With A Billionaire Sex Offender Business Insider | Politics Chat Room 55 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
