I just printed up some flyers.

Michael Ruppert had the quotes at the beginning of Chapter 9 in "Crossing the Rubicon." I just copied them into word, used a big curly font for the header, underlining the word "real," and bold underline for the phrases, "It's our number one priority," and "It's not our priority." Then I centered and justified everything neatly on the page. Tomorrow I'll see how many copies I can afford to get at Office Depot and just start passing them out and leaving them around town.


THE REAL FLIP-FLOP

George W. Bush, on Osama bin Laden, September 13, 2001, two days after 9/11:


“The most important thing for us is to find Osama bin Laden. It’s our number one priority, and we will not rest until we find him.”


George W. Bush, on Osama bin Laden, 6 months later, on March 13, 2002:


“I don’t know where he is. I have no idea, and I really don’t care. It’s not that important. It’s not our priority.”

2. San Diego.

And we really do need them here. I actually had a chimp supporter tell me that Kerry was a flip-flopper AFTER watching the debate! (He's getting the first copy.) You really have to simplify things for some people. I'm pretty sure that Kerry will carry this supposedly conservative town, unless there are some BBV shenanigans, but every vote counts. I figure that even without pretty colors or pictures, the fact that these have big block letters and don't use fancy words ought to be effective.

3. I here ya, even in CA I'm in a small town just south of Sacramento.

To close to the Boobengrabber.

4. Good one! Well, one thing about having an actor in office,

is that they read Variety. Ah-nold saw the box office figures for F9/11, knows the DVD is coming out, and runs constant polls on his automated phone line to see which way the wind is blowing. At first I wasn't sure we'd survive him, but I've learned that people who like the limelight are easier to deal with than people who hide in the shadows. He may be a fascist, but when Kerry wins, Ah-nold will probably bring in some consultants to teach him how to act like a Democrat. That oughta be good for some laughs.

5. great. ps brevity is important..

so edit out the actual dates and just say

two days after sep 11

and

six months later.

It will read faster, easier with no loss of info.

Now a genuine complement....
I was impressed a few minutes ago...

... your other post.. on stock market.. was well thought out and very sparely written, no excess verbosity. It was "truth, and fast".

long windedness is a curse on the LW, so good to see a guy who speaks truth and speaks it to the point.

Keep posting! Your posts are educating me. I read them with relish.

8. Thanks, oscar111, but I tried it and then put the dates back in.

While you are absolutely correct about brevity, having a date on a document seems to lend it character, authenticity, and gravity. You put dates on checks, contracts, etc. When I first saw these quotes in the book, I already knew them, but hadn't seen them juxtaposed with the precise dates. The dates were what struck me, and I decided to keep them.
