Al Qaeda isn’t quite what we think it is…
In fact… It’s not much of anything at all… A term invented by the US, which Bin Laden then took on to make himself look stronger… Think I’m nuts and talking a bunch of bullshit? The BBC says otherwise…
That was from a documentary titled “The Power Of Nightmares”. The entire documentary is up on google video if you’d like to see the whole thing.. It is a very informative documentary…
Sorry for the out of sync audio…
look out!

Jodie Sweetin’s Boobs
WOWSERS! Jodie Sweetin (formerly of Full House) was insanely hot back in the day, then she got real awkward lookin’. But peep out her new boobs. Don’t think it’ll help revitalize her career though. The pic was taken at the opening of a “Pink Taco” in Los Angeles. Boo.

From the ESPN Website:
Over the past weekend, authorities said, Professional Wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine cable in the couple’s suburban home. No motive was offered for the killings, which were discovered Monday.
Anabolic steroids were found in Benoit’s home, leading officials to wonder whether the drugs played a role in the slayings. Some experts believe steroids cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as “roid rage.”
Recent Pro Wrestler Deaths
Chris Benoit’s death in a murder-suicide is the latest in a string of professional wrestlers who died relatively young. Here is a list of some prominent performers and how they died:
Date Name Age Cause of Death 2005 Eddie Guerrero 38 Heart failure 2002 David Smith 39 Heart attack 1999 Rick Rude 40 Heart failure believed caused by overdose of GHB, steroids The WWE, based in Stamford, Conn., issued a news release Tuesday saying steroids “were not and could not be related to the cause of death” and that the findings indicate “deliberation, not rage.” It also added that Benoit tested negative April 10, the last time he was tested for drugs.
If you visit the WWE website, you’ll find this comprehensive story about Benoit’s death:
STAMFORD, Conn., June 25, 2007 – World Wrestling Entertainment was informed today by authorities in Fayette County, Ga., that WWE Superstar Chris Benoit, his wife, Nancy, and his son were found dead in their home. Authorities are investigating, but no other details are available at this time.
It’s pretty obvious that steroids are to blame for this incident, and it’s really irresponsible for the WWE to react the way that they have. Just because the killings were protracted does not inherently suggest that Benoit planned the slaughter. Indeed, if any mood or behavioral trait could be proscribed to Benoit during his final hours, his actions seem extremely confused and obfuscated. Putting aside speculation, even if he did plan the killings, it’s misleading to suggest that, just because Benoit didn’t kill everyone all at once, steroids weren’t to blame.
This is a growing trend in professional wrestling, and the WWE doesn’t want to address this problem because no steroids equals a loss in revenue for the company.
Wrestlers of the world, unite! Create a union and protect yourself! Otherwise, you’ll join the legions of has-been burnouts like this guy.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A police officer who appears to choke a skateboarder and put two others in a headlock in a video posted online has been put on administrative leave while police investigate, officials said.
Hot Springs Mayor Mike Bush said Tuesday that investigators have talked with witnesses who saw the officer, Joey Williams, stop the skateboarders on a downtown city sidewalk last Thursday. Skateboarding is banned in the area.
The video shows Williams apparently choking one of the skateboarders after forcing him to the ground, then later chasing and wrestling two others while holding them in a headlock.
“Unfortunately, the video shows it pretty good,” Bush said.
Bush said he won’t be sure of the city’s next step until the investigation is complete. The video, taken by Matthew Jon McCormack and another unidentified skater, was posted Monday on YouTube, a popular Internet site.
Williams can be heard threatening one person with pepper spray if he moved, and several voices are heard asking why they were being arrested. One person can be seen running from Williams, and Williams later tells them they are fleeing and acting disorderly.
Williams did not answer a request through the department for an interview and did not respond to a phone message left at a home number in his name.
Police spokesman McCrary Means identified two of those arrested as McCormack, 21, and Skylar Nalls, 19, both of Hot Springs. McCormack faces a misdemeanor battery charge after allegedly pushing or striking a 67-year-old city employee during the altercation, Means said. Nalls was cited for skateboarding and faces misdemeanor charges of fleeing and obstructing governmental operations.
Four juveniles involved in the incident also face skateboarding citations and resisting arrest charges, Means said.
McCormack disputed many of the police allegations, especially his battery charge. He said he pulled on the city employee’s arm after the man picked a girl off her feet in a choke-hold.
Hot Springs is a resort town about 50 miles west of Little Rock.

“Unfortunately, the video shows it pretty good,” Hot Springs Mayor Mike Bush said.
What the fuck…
Fuck the police and the government…
