I've written about it over and over again. I've already pointed out that it's apparently ok to murder children as long as they aren't actually being beheaded. Gassing is so much better, don't you think? What more do you want from me?mickthinks wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 9:19 pmI's not remotely funny, no, but it is a mahoosive deflection away from the topic of the unconfirmed status of the reports of infant beheadings.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 9:11 pmFunny how you have never once commented on all the atrocities your country has done and continues to do in the Middle East.
By all means start a thread on all the atrocities my country has done and continues to do in the Middle East, and I'll add my comments.
Which 'laws of physics' would those be?Atla wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 9:20 pmNah, I think that's probably just another of *their* manipulations. *They* are intentionally flooding the Western world, especially the US with all kinds of batshit crazy conspiracy theories like Flat Earth, reptilians, aliens and so on. In order to hide the real conspiracies like 9/11 or the partially faked Moon landings (not sure about this one).Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 8:50 pm Those are some worthy observations. I struggle to image what or who *they* are. For those who are so far outside of the operations of the *system* we can only rely on third-party accounts. And then what we expose ourselves to -- for interpretation -- often seems to depend on our inner orientation. Once the speculation and imagination machine gets cranked up it is capable of coming to really strange conclusions.
There is an interesting book I read awhile back: A Culture of Conspiracy: Apocalyptic Visions in Contemporary America [2003, University of California] by Michael Barkun. The blurb is worth quoting:
What all this makes me think is, as I say, that we see through *darkened glass* but also that we color things with the colors of our own minds.American society has changed dramatically since A Culture of Conspiracy was first published in 2001. In this revised and expanded edition, Michael Barkun delves deeper into America's conspiracy sub-culture, exploring the rise of 9/11 conspiracy theories, the "birther" controversy surrounding Barack Obama's American citizenship, and how the conspiracy landscape has changed with the rise of the Internet and other new media.
What do UFO believers, Christian millennialists, and right-wing conspiracy theorists have in common? According to Michael Barkun in this fascinating yet disturbing book, quite a lot. It is well known that some Americans are obsessed with conspiracies. The Kennedy assassination, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 2001 terrorist attacks have all generated elaborate stories of hidden plots. What is far less known is the extent to which conspiracist worldviews have recently become linked in strange and unpredictable ways with other "fringe" notions such as a belief in UFOs, Nostradamus, and the Illuminati. Unraveling the extraordinary genealogies and permutations of these increasingly widespread ideas, Barkun shows how this web of urban legends has spread among subcultures on the Internet and through mass media, how a new style of conspiracy thinking has recently arisen, and how this phenomenon relates to larger changes in American culture. This book, written by a leading expert on the subject, is the most comprehensive and authoritative examination of contemporary American conspiracism to date.
Barkun discusses a range of material-involving inner-earth caves, government black helicopters, alien abductions, secret New World Order cabals, and much more-that few realize exists in our culture. Looking closely at the manifestations of these ideas in a wide range of literature and source material from religious and political literature, to New Age and UFO publications, to popular culture phenomena such as The X-Files, and to websites, radio programs, and more, Barkun finds that America is in the throes of an unrivaled period of millenarian activity. His book underscores the importance of understanding why this phenomenon is now spreading into more mainstream segments of American culture.
And it works. It especially caters to people who are of somewhat above average intelligence, which I find quite insidious. They are smart, but not smart enough, to realize that they are being manipulated into thinking that they are now soo effing wise to brand ALL conspiracy theories as equally insane.
Yep.. sorry but the laws of physics don't go on a holiday, not even in New York.Here is a fun one. Not sure if you or others are aware of James Corbett but here is his 9/11 in 5 minutes.

I know you're not interested, but if you are then just look up the third tower that fell, WTC 7. It wasn't even hit by a plane, just by some minor debris on one side, and there was some fire. Then the whole thing came down at freefall speed. If you think that's normal then whatever.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:27 pmPlease share. That's terribly vague.

Ok. Now, about the physics?Atla wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:48 pmYes it was. You do the rest of the work.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:39 pmThat's not what I asked.Atla wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:32 pm

Look we all know how naive and clueless you are about the world you live in, and that you want to keep it this way, so you can keep pretending to have your moral high ground.

What do I google? I genuinely don't know. ''9/11 conspiracy theories and why it was an inside job''? ''How 'the Jews' planted bombs in multiple buildings and then got Arabs to fly planes into those buildings for no particular reason''?? Hmm. I can't seem to find any scenario that fits...Atla wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 10:53 pmUse Google
