Another Strange Nick Berg Connection

There's a Sylvester Stallone comedy called Oscar. I seem to be the only person on the planet who likes this movie. I like the rapid-fire screwball thing.

Anyway, there's a guy named Anthony who keeps turning up in Stallone's life at every turn-- always doing no good or making trouble for him. Stealing from him, blackmailing him, demanding that Stallone allow him to marry his daughter who isn't his daughter (don't ask). Stallone spends most of the film escorting Anthony to the exit, only to have him ring the door-bell five minutes later with some new machination.

Near the end of the movie, a newly-introduced character asks Stallone if he knows Anthony. "Know him?!" Stallone cries in exasperation. "Sometimes I think I don't know anybody but him!"

If Stallone didn't mumble that line incomprehensibly, it would kill.

Anyway, that's how the US Government must be starting to feel about Nick Berg.

Nick Kronos does some bona-fide internet research and discovers that the radio company that just successfully sued the FCC to undo relaxed media-conglomeration rules seems to be the same radio company owned by... Nick Berg and/or his America-hating ANSWER-member father Michael Berg.

Weird, huh?

I loved oscar. Great flick. Marisa Tomei is almost bearable in it. Plus i think it is the only other american flick i have seen the woman from Flash Gordon in.

Oscar is on my Top-10 All-Time Best Movies list. It's awesome.

Jennifer,

She's also in Once Upon a Crime, which is a movie few have heard of but I think it's one of the funniest movies ever.

If you read my (real) interview with Michael Berg, he seems to have the idea that the government killed his son:

http://www.indcjournal.com/archives/000485.php

Are you in agreement or something?

Posted by: Bill from INDC on June 27, 2004 12:34 PM

Agreement? Of course not! How on earth do you get that out of my link?

Posted by: Ace on June 27, 2004 02:24 PM

Whatever, man. If the tin-foil hat fits ...

Actually I really didn't get ANY inference out of your link. Which is infuriating. Years of reading the WaPo has made me dependent on someone else drawing conclusions for me.

Posted by: Bill from INDC on June 27, 2004 02:29 PM

Personally, I think it's a world wide Poon suppression conspiracy that led to Berg's death.

Ace is just putting the peices togethger for us.

In the past week we have earned:

1) Poon creates a mystery metal stronger than steel, which some posters believe was actually developed in Saudi Arabia to make it easier to cut infidels heads off.

2) Nick Berg's company sued the government to prevent the media consolidation rules from taking effect. Had they been enacted, the potential for greater "Poon exposure" would have been amplified. The more who know about Poon's existence, the more who want a piece.

3) Which leads one to believe that Berg didn't want Poon's secrets getting out to a mass audience, because we know Berg wanted to help rebuild Iraq and he probably feared the increased demand for high quality Poon in a Free Iraq would lead to cost overruns.

4) Had the secrets of the Poon received massive coverage, demand for Poon and his product would have surged worldwide causing a dramatic increase in the costs of making higher quality infidel slayer swords. In addition to affecting Berg's reconstruction business, the terrorists (who are seeing their resources dwindle) would not be able to purchase as much prime Poon.

5)So the Jihadis's are left with a choice: allow the world to learn of free flowing Poon, or silence all those who could spill the beans on this virgin resource.

6) So the Jihadis kill Berg, preventing him from any further access to Poon, after they learn that his lawsuit is likely to prevail.

7) The Jihadis win all the way around. Berg and the general public have to wait weeks to find out the truth about Poon's easy availability. Meanwhile, the Jihadis get all the head they desire.

8) And the poor cowbell industry has to continue putting out an inferior product. (This is just an aside, to illustrate the law of unintended consequences.

See INDC, when you put the posts together it all makes sense.

By the way, this is going to form the general plot of my next documentary film: "Dude, Where's my Poon?".

Just protect yourself Ace. I consider you my one stop shop for all my Poon needs, and I would hate to see the Poon dry up.

"There's a Sylvester Stallone comedy called Oscar. I seem to be the only person on the planet who likes this movie. I like the rapid-fire screwball thing."

You're not the only one. It's practically his only movie I can stand.

Bill: I don't think the American government killed Nicholas Berg. I think Islamic terrorists beheaded him. But I'm not sure whether he was truly an innocent in all of it or whether he was double-crossed by Islamist friends he set out to help.

Michael Berg said something like, "They killed their best friend."

I think it more likely that he went there as part of Prometheus's not-for-profit third world radio projects then, as you say in your interview, as a "war profiteer."

From speaking directly with Michael Berg, I honestly have little doubt that his son was pro-Bush, and not in league with any terrorists. His father is a hardcore liberal activist, but he was largely sincere about his son's support of the Bush admin.

Posted by: Bill from INDC on June 28, 2004 11:04 AM

The fatal flaw in the Senator's conspiracy theory is that it does not center on the Administration, and so fails to mesh with all the other conspiracy theories. The Illuminati aren't known for that sort of sloppy work.

A far likelier theory is that the Poon is being covered up by Bush.

I guess I'm not the only person who likes Oscar!

I wrote: I think Islamic terrorists beheaded [Berg]. But I'm not sure whether he was truly an innocent in all of it or whether he was double-crossed by Islamist friends he set out to help.

That may not turn out to have been true of Berg, but check out this NY Times story about the current marine hostage.

"The American marine who is being threatened by his kidnappers with beheading had deserted the military because he was emotionally traumatized, and was abducted by his captors while trying to make his way home to his native Lebanon, a Marine officer said Tuesday.

"The officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said he believed that Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun was betrayed by Iraqis he befriended on his base and ended up in the hands of Islamic extremists."
