KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Police said they arrested a man for spitting on
two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda (pictured, right) during a
book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.



Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her
new best-selling book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer
Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."

At about 9 p.m., police said 54-year-old Michael A. Smith, who had been
waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a
large amount of tobacco juice into her face.

This woman and John Kerry should both be locked up in jail for what they
did during the Vietnam war.

Yeah, she is a monster-traitor for sure.

Hey - by his actions, he left the cops witnessing the event with

little
choice. I also would not be surprised if he figured he would be

arrested,
yet chose to do it anyway.

I have no gripe with the cops at all. I doubt they felt any enjoyment

in
arresting him.

I would also like to contribute $10 towards the payment of whatever

fine he
is sentenced to pay... I figure if other vets do the same, the

gentleman
may realize a nice little windfall for his trouble. He should get a

pay-pal
account...

THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS



"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

So, David, please tell me where Jesus said to turn and run with your
tail between your legs? Tell me where it says to throw up your hands
and quit trying to make things better. Tell me how you make peace from
a point of total cowardice? I have read the bible cover to cover a
number of times and I have found nothing that says a Christian is to be
a cowardly quitter.

Don't throw the "Turn the other cheek" at me because I doubt you know
what it really means.

Also, tell me when you'll shut the hell up and leave normal people
alone until you learn what you're talking about.

Operation Ajax
Operation Ajax (1953) (officially TP-AJAX) was an Anglo-American
covert operation to overthrow the then-government of Iran and Prime
Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and restore the exiled Shah Mohammed Reza
Pahlavi to the throne.

Rationale for the intervention included Mossadegh's socialist rhetoric
and his nationalization, without compensation, of the oil industry
which was previously operated by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. The
newly state-owned oil companies saw a sharp drop in productivity and,
consequently, exports; this resulted in the Abadan Crisis, a situation
that was further aggravated by a British-imposed economic blockade
intended to coerce Mossadegh into reprivatization. In addition, the
appropriation of the companies resulted in Western allegations that
Mossadegh was a Communist and suspicions that Iran was in danger of
falling under the influences of the neighboring Soviet Union. But
Mossadegh refused to back down under international pressure.

A significant reason for the coup was an oil deal whereby the UK and
the U.S. divided Iranian oil while giving minor pieces to Dutch and
French interests. For the U.S., another important factor was Iran's
border with the Soviet Union. A pro-American Iran under the Shah would
give the U.S. a double strategic advantage in the ensuing Cold War, as
a NATO alliance was already in effect with the government of Turkey,
also bordering the USSR.

In planning the operation, the CIA organized a guerrilla force in case
the Stalinist Tudeh Party seized power as a result of the chaos
created by Operation Ajax. According to formerly "Top Secret"
documents released by the National Security Archive, Undersecretary of
State Walter Smith reported that the CIA had reached an agreement with
Qashqai tribal leaders in southern Iran to establish a clandestine
safe haven from which U.S.-funded guerrillas and intelligence agents
could operate.

Operation Ajax was the first time the Central Intelligence Agency
orchestrated a plot to overthrow a democratically-elected government.
The success of this operation, and its relatively low cost, encouraged
the CIA to successfully carry out a similar operation in Guatemala a
year later. However, many historians argue that dissatisfaction with
the reinstalled Shah led directly to the 1979 Islamic Revolution in
Iran. Iran has not returned to democracy since Mossadegh's overthrow;
Western countries have raised serious concerns about its potential
development of nuclear weapons and continuing support for anti-Israeli
Islamic terror groups, particularly the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The leader of Operation Ajax was Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA
agent, and grandson of the former President of the United States
Theodore Roosevelt. While formal leadership was vested in Kim
Roosevelt the project was designed and executed by Donald Wilber, a
career contract CIA agent and acclaimed author of books on Iran,
Afghanistan and Ceylon.

French interests. For the U.S., another important factor was Iran's
border with the Soviet Union. A pro-American Iran under the Shah would
give the U.S. a double strategic advantage in the ensuing Cold War, as
a NATO alliance was already in effect with the government of Turkey,
also bordering the USSR.

In planning the operation, the CIA organized a guerrilla force in case
the Stalinist Tudeh Party seized power as a result of the chaos
created by Operation Ajax. According to formerly "Top Secret"
documents released by the National Security Archive, Undersecretary of
State Walter Smith reported that the CIA had reached an agreement with
Qashqai tribal leaders in southern Iran to establish a clandestine
safe haven from which U.S.-funded guerrillas and intelligence agents
could operate.

Operation Ajax was the first time the Central Intelligence Agency
orchestrated a plot to overthrow a democratically-elected government.
The success of this operation, and its relatively low cost, encouraged
the CIA to successfully carry out a similar operation in Guatemala a
year later. However, many historians argue that dissatisfaction with
the reinstalled Shah led directly to the 1979 Islamic Revolution in
Iran. Iran has not returned to democracy since Mossadegh's overthrow;
Western countries have raised serious concerns about its potential
development of nuclear weapons and continuing support for anti-Israeli
Islamic terror groups, particularly the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The leader of Operation Ajax was Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA
agent, and grandson of the former President of the United States
Theodore Roosevelt. While formal leadership was vested in Kim
Roosevelt the project was designed and executed by Donald Wilber, a
career contract CIA agent and acclaimed author of books on Iran,
Afghanistan and Ceylon.

Payback's a mother****er.




Still too cowardly to answer my questions?

You better watch out for that MF, with your sick view of the world.

Your question is absurd. I would never do anything to harm my
country, including waving a flashlight to guide sabateurs,or (way more
relevantly), sit idly by while evil forces undo 230 years of progress.

How so? It is not "talking tough" if it is a demonstrated fact. Your "na-
na-na-boo-boo" type of response serves to confirm your spineless and weak
disposition. Cripes, rickets! You are your own worst enemy!

Here, I will (graciously) allow you one more opportunity to (as you
laughably attempted to put it earlier) "grow a pair" and respond directly
to my previous post, where I said:

I have the courage to be willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

I have the courage to open my eyes and see that our government is
doing bad things in our name and to realize that we are being used by
multinationals to further their interests at the expense of our own.

The fact that you are so cock-sure belies the fact that you are
brainwashed. Normal people always have doubts. The ''faith-based''
never doubt. Very dangerous.

What? Now you are asserting I'm "brainwashed" because I'm not a conspiracy
hobbyist like yourself? Because I'm not running around like the proverbial
"Chicken Little" as you choose to do? Because what you personally consider
"bad things", all normal, reasonable and prudent minded people consider,
well, "reasonable and prudent under the circumastances". Gimme a break,
rickets.

You "doubt" any and everything associated with the Govt. (what you
probably see as "The Man") solely because you think it's "cool, hep, and/or
stylish" to do so. Well, you were born 35 years too late. You're not going
to find any vindication for your stale, discredited, 60's political ideals
that you parrot so ineffectively.

The underlying theme of your posts seems to veritably scream that the
*only* greater good you would be willing to sacrifice *anything* for is the
greater good of yourself. You can't even articulate your own (supposed)
ideals. Now you suddenly try to interject religion into the mix (when I
haven't) because you can't even support your own side of the argument. Keep
grasping at straws - your zig-zagging B.S. is not fooling anyone...


You hit the nail on the head... it all has something to do with Zig-Zag's...
