2. INSANE OKANE indulges in SUPREME hypocrisy .
OKANE, aren't YOU the one who is always WHINING about Canadian, Jeff Hoard, "sticking (his) nose" in OUR business?
Who the fuck are you to turn around and tell Candada what they *should* do?
Go back to your bunker, OKANE.

3. MAJOR BULLSHIT AKA CAPTAIN NEGATIVE SFB
I am expressing my right to free speech.
Major Bullshit-you saying I do not have a right to free speech in my own country?
Major Bullshit Jeff Hoard presented 3 stories about USA listed in a Trainig Manual and I voiced my opinion on what Jeff and Canada said about the USA
But your comments are normal, since I remember you calling a woman a "PUNK ASS BITCH" for not agreeing with you.
It looks your the staff at your facility forget to give you your meds again.
ROBERT OKANE at 12:30AM on Jan 24th 2008
4. OKANE, you're expressing YOUR right to "free speech" but I just read a post where you were advocating "investigating" other people for attempting to "overthrow the government" by "using the media."
You're a dangerous radical, OKANE. Fortunately for all but Mrs. OKANE, you're an IMPOTENT radical.
I wish you'd get the fuck out of my country.

----------------------------------------------------
Telling the same LIE a thousand times won't make it true, OKANE.
Put up or shut up!
Where is this post? Who was that alleged woman? This isn't something your INVISIBLE, IMAGINARY, ARMY OF EMAIL SUPPORTERS told you, is it?
Again, OKANE... PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

Major, altzhiemers is really starting to take its toll on you. On 1/15 you called Noel a "PUNK ASS BITCH" on one of your posts.
Yes I, as an American Citizen, am expressing my right to free speech. Non American citizens are not afforded the same rights under the Constitution as Citizens.
And Bullshit, as much as you might like to think, the USA is not "your country", about 300 million other citizens have joint ownership.

7. Major Bullshit aka Captain Negative
Typo error-you called the lady a "PUNK ASS BITCH" on post dated 1/13/08
ROBERT OKANE at 6:43AM on Jan 24th 2008
8. OKANE, either you have a definite reading comprehension problem or you are caught lying again.
First, "noel" is NOT A WOMAN.
Second, I didn't *call* noel a 'punk-ass-bitch.'
I said that a certain type of conduct would mark that MAN as a "punk ass bitch."
INSANE OKANE get caught in another lie.
Captain Negative at 5:00PM on Jan 24th 2008
9. And speaking of OKANE lies.
He disappeared like a thief in the night when you were called out on that no-bid contract from Clinton to Haliburton.
Captain Negative at 5:01PM on Jan 24th 2008
10. MAJOR BULLSHIT AKA CAPTAIN NEGATIVE.SFB
Your words to NOEL quote
"Your groundless insults just mark you as a punk-ass bitch"
It is still posted under Young Turks, date 1/13/08, post #30, story Blackwater Gassed our Troops"
Everyone, see where Major Bullshit aka Captain Negative LIED 2 times. Young Turks posting of story Blackwater Gassed our Troops, 1/13/08, posted #30 at 12:01am. He says he never called Noel a PUNK AS BITCH, but it is right there in his posting.
Captain Negegative caught in a flat out lie. Then lies again to try to cover it up in prior post #20
NOEL IS A WOMAN, I have talked to her before.

11. Major Bullshit akd Captain Negative SFB
If your post #21 refers to my saying Clinton awarded a no bid cost over contract to Halliburton to build Gitmo Bay Prison in year 2000, I am right.
Go look it up pea brain
ROBERT OKANE at 5:43PM on Jan 24th 2008
12. Oh, you've talked to noel? Is "she" another member of your invisible army of email supporters?
YOU made the, Clinton no-bid contract claim. You back it up.
You're asking me to prove a negative. You're a psychopath, OKANE.

14. OKANE, you're crazy. I'm not going on any wild goose chases for you. Do your own work.
Captain Negative at 1:40AM on Jan 25th 2008
15. " NOEL IS A WOMAN, I have talked to her before."
Is this another one of your lies that I'm supposed to look up?
Why don't you produce "her?" Liar.
OKANE, I'm getting tired of calling you out on your lies. You're just insane.
But if, by some chance, you can prove that "noel" is a woman, I'll call "her" a PUNK ASS BITCH all over again.
