What could that possibly have to do with a religious symbol being conflated with a national flag incorporating that symbol? I am genuinely curious, did you read the post you quoted and think "man, that guy must be really worried about people getting Finland and Denmark mixed up"?

Lord Hydronium posted:The Secret Jew Gold idea has already been mentioned, but my favorite is that WTC7 had the plans for 9/11 itself. Because they just didn't feel like buying a shredder, I guess. Seems legit to me. Shredder's broke, you have all these plans for your secret inside job attack on America so, ya know, you blow a building up to get rid of them.

Combine this with destroying WTC7 being the whole point and you get a plan whose whole purpose is to destroy the records of the plan itself. This I'd happily believe as I have a thing for recursion.

A certain breed of truther would even take pride in the whole thing, because you would only ever need to destroy the plans so thoroughly if you knew that someone was hot on the trail, this close to blowing it all wide open.

This I'd happily believe as I have a thing for recursion. This trumps the other best one I've heard, which is that the owner insured WTC 7, then had a clause inserted that paid double if it was destroyed by "terrorist attack", then sued to claim double that double because it was hit by two planes, so it should be counted as having been destroyed twice by terrorist attack. Edit to clarify: it is not a conspiracy that he tried to get it to count twice; that actually happened. The conspiracy is that, since he had just leased the properties six weeks earlier and 'happened' to be at a doctor's appointment that morning instead of his normal offices in Windows of the World, he had planned the whole thing to make a massive profit off of the insurance, and getting the insurance to pay out twice due to two planes hitting was part of the plan.

Eschers Basement posted:According to some conspiracies I've read, demolishing 7 was the whole point and the Twin Towers being taken out was a misdirection. Building 7, you see, had CIA offices in them, and all the records within them destroyed with the hit, so there must have been some massive data they were trying to eradicate in a huge cover-up. It also had SEC offices in them, and a bunch of anti-Wall Sreet cases suddenly were dropped or delayed when the evidence stored in Building 7 went up in smoke. Oh okay, well I've never heard the Secret Jew Banker Attacking the SEC theory, but it's automatically more believable to me because then George W Bush had nothing to do with it, and the most outlandish part of any of those others is the Bush administration being competent at anything E: Really anything except not awarding their buddies giant no-bid contracts VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Sep 15, 2015 |

That was the biggest reason why they pressed for two separate claims: they wanted to minimize the losses from buying the property up right before it got wrecked as best they could.

Even ignoring the awful metaphor, the perspective on this is hosed. Is ISIS-zilla part of the road? Why are all the buildings at different angles if we're looking down from above? Is the building that Mickey Mouse Obama standing on actually in low earth orbit?

So, kneejerk reaction, don't need you to get too deep into Australian politics, but. Is the new PM gonna be better, worse or equal to Abbott? 'cuz I like when Pope draws contemptuous cartoons.

A "budgie" is a bird and not just a euphamism for "cock" which is also bird related. I learned somethong today from a political cartoon. Also, gonna be wondering what the human race is doing with birds.
