• An article about the death of Nick Berg which gives some interesting insight on America’s rabid right and suggests a possibility that even if everything happened as the PTB (I like that acronym) claim, it still may have indirectly been enabled by anti-anti-war activists.

  These people are Americans who, when having found a list of other American’s who were involved in anti-war efforts, did what they could to screw with their lives – to take on “The Enemy Within”.

  Michael Berg, Nick’s father, was published on the FreeRepublic as being one of the enemy for being in support of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition’s March 20th protest. His listing also included his company (Prometheus Methods Tower Service – the family radio business that Nick was in Iraq working with).

  The Free Republic forum members reported themselves as getting involved in messing with the people on this list. The commanders of people who were active members of the military were sent emails. A Coast Guard member’s background was researched and when it was discovered that he didn’t believe in the wars on drug or terrorism, his chief got a telephone call. Comments regarding being sure the FBI was looking into the list were made.

  Less than a month after this list was released, Nick Berg of Prometheus Methods Tower Service was arrested in Iraq. A couple weeks later, he was dead. Possibly coincidence, but possibly a flag next to a name that made him a risk to be arrested and investigated in Iraq.

  If the actions of the “FReepers” did play a part in the original arrest of Nick Berg, the irony is that unlike his antiwar father, Nick Berg supported both Bush and the war in Iraq to the extent that he had visited Iraq several times with the desire to be a part of the rebuilding efforts.

  Anyway, here’s the article.

  And here’s the FreePress posting of names.

  And if you haven’t gotten a chance to see the site about The Stanford Prison Experiment, be sure to do so. Even if you know the gist of it, reading the site gives a lot of insight.
