nlp seems very good at convincing people that their success is due to their innate intellectual superiority, so in a way you can say its a successful form of mind control

The Neurolinguistic Programming stuff is more like a Scientology course than anything else, self help and influence of others by way of what once started out decades back as peculiar grammatical theory. Apart from some guys completely using it interchangeably with mind control, the theory is more like relying on facial and body language cues to adapt to anyone you meet and acclimate yourself accordingly on an individual level (or in groups) to best influence them

what some people call charisma I guess

if Body Language experts are any indication it’s all loving film flam

body language reading fascinates me because there's buckets upon buckets of bad advice in the form of self-help literature (articles to help you get ahead at work / whip your subordinates better, how to get more dates, that might actually be all of them) and none of it is standardized so you have these armies of poorly-read middle managers who all have different ideas of what means what and they're all making decisions based on random misinformation that they're convinced is real

it's like googling "how do i know if my roommate is bluffing in poker" and then expecting accurate information

Normally like trueanon but the third ep of the Bush did 9/11 was pretty disappointing. Supporting a demolition hypothesis based on exactly two eye witnesses that thought there was an explosion in the basement of one of the towers (not sure why anyone would bother setting off explosives in the basement so close to the impact of the planes if they wanted to make it look like the planes did it), and then trying to say that jet fuel coming down multiple elevator shafts couldnt blow out the windows of the lobby/didn't happen when the Naudet brothers documentary literally has audio (but no video for obvious reason) of at least one person burning to death because they were covered in jet fuel.

I haven't finished it yet but the next thing they brought up were people hearing "explosions" when the towers fell, like that means anything. Dunno, just feels poorly thought out and really credulous compared to the poo poo they usually do.

im no scientist but if the jet fuel that melted steel beams all fell into the basement how did it melt the steel beams?


i do think the argument that the buildings should have been strong enough to take that kind of impact funny. it isnt hard to imagine that the builders took shortcuts that made them unsafe in such a specific and unique attack. especially with how mobbed up and corrupt everyone in nyc was when they were built.

i think it was on an episode of trueanon(bevins ep maybe) where they talked about the plan for the attack being that the people would all be stuck in the building as it slowly burned up. making it similar to the grenfel towers situation. another goofy thought is that the cia didnt want it to be that bad so they let the towers burn for a bit before collapsing them.

No, like I said, it's just a sprinkling. The demolition angle is the least defensible part of the overall conspiracy and I think it's dumb that they supported it.

Not all of the jet fuel went down the elevator shaft(s), but apparently some significant amount did. I would not surprise me all if corners were cut in the construction, because apparently they were designed to withstand a 707 or something. I think? Obviously a different plane than what actually hit it.

I don't see how any demolition theory could feasibly work unless they knew exactly where the planes were going to hit, and even then the collapse starts so close to the impact point on both buildings that I don't think any trigger mechanism or explosive could have survived the impact.

didn’t one of the plans take out like 29 of 30 floors of a specific firm that worked out of one of the towers, I always thought that kind of accuracy sounds unrealistic

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

in Canada on 9/11, the Global network showed unrelated previously recorded footage of smiling Palestinian children waving tiny flags and holding up pizza to the camera and said "look at these arabs celebrating the attacks they just did"

This is the network that released a special called "Jenin: Massacring Truth" :stare:

Listened to a Kantbot podcast recently and here's who he thinks killed JFK, as in literally pulled the trigger (excerpts from Triangle of Death by Bradley O'Leary)







For reference, the OAS (Organisation Armée Secrète) was a right wing paramilitary terrorist group that fought against France's decision to liberate Algiers and then they tried to kill de Gaulle.

Also, Alderson is a friend of Souetre's, they were both security officers in the same garrison in France (where US military also were stationed) before Souetre defected and Alderson moved to civilian life (ultimately as a dentist in Texas).

the headline, as usual, is kind of misleading here. the article discusses how currently he apparently is having nerve damage in his fingers and needs physical therapy. we see this in COVID patients, too, where people are classified as making “full recovery” despite no longer being able to smell or suffering from permanent lung damage.

I dunno anything about this guys politics but I think the person who wrote that article is just kind of a moron.
