Lloyd, I believe my assertions are essentially correct, rather than "totally wrong." In the above excerpt you quote, I make three assertions: 1. The current A-Albionic hypothesis is that Britain and the Vatican are engaged in a behind-the-scenes struggle for world domination. This is true. 2. Britain is on the side of the war against Yugoslavia; That is, she actively supported the recent NATO military action. This is true. 3. The Vatican has repeatedly condemned the violence. My statement is true as far as it goes, but it was wrong for me to generalize from this statement that the Vatican opposed the war. Your point that the war fit in with the Vatican's desire to dominate the Eastern Orthodox Church is valid, as is your suggestion that the war fit in with the Vatican's proposed alliance with Islam. Also, I feel that my question "The US: Dominated or Dominant?" is a fundamental way (though certainly not the only way) to compare and contrast at least some of the competing conspiracy theories that are out there. However, I do agree with you that asking "which social/economic power organs are dominant in determining [American] policies at this time?" is certainly a more sophisticated and rewarding line of inquiry. -al DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
