I think it's fair to say most people in the military have no more idea what's happening than the average person watching the news.

On the enlisted side, for sure. Officers above company grade should, in theory, have a grasp of current events.

If anyone was looking for a new conspiracy for this week, here's a good one.

quote:

DC MOTHER EXECUTED FOR TAKING THE WRONG TURN

A mother driving with her one year old child rammed some barricades near the White House and her actions show she was trying to get the hell away from the scene, not attack anyone. She had no weapons.
She was shot dead and we will probably never know why she did it, although we can't rule out some brainwashing planting of evidence by the police to steer our minds into the direction they want in order to construct a fantasy to cover their asses.

I'm not sure who this Rafael Zambrana dude is, but he sends out some amazing emails (and also really seems to like Dees :psyduck:)

Anyway, has Bob Tuskin been mentioned in the thread? He popped up since he got wrecked by Chomsky at a recent event and was even nice enough to post video of it with a pithy description.

He's also got some very awesome headlines on his site, but it's surprisingly lacking in water purification and seed bag ads.

It's pretty recent for Jones, he used to just sell DVDs. He started getting sponsored by water filtration companies and seed packs, then figured he should get in on the snake oil bandwagon.

If you're that shocked, you should read up on the McMartin preschool trials which was literally a witch hunt. It involved allegations of Satanism, ritualistic orgies, child sacrifice, black masses, the whole shebang. The state of California was willing to spend millions of dollars on investigating and prosecuting a witch hunt, back in ye olde times of 1990.

So the US basically learned nothing from the Salem witch trials. Good to hear.

It's kind of like Skull and Bones and Bilderberg, it's an organization that networks powerful people including national and world leaders. Because that's the obvious purpose of the organization though there really isn't any "conspiracy" to it.

That's what makes Jones so silly. Rich and powerful people meeting up to talk about ways to become more rich and powerful isn't really all that unusual, so he's got to add some level of insanity and mystery to keep people listening.

The most absurd part of course being that only Jones knows all these secrets and is able to blast them out worldwide for three hours a day for like twenty years without anyone stopping him.

MORE PROOF THAT ISIS = CIA / MOSSAD

quote:

Where exactly is this ISIS (Israeli Secret Intelligence Service?) based? Where do they sleep? Where do they do their banking? How did they pay for their fleet of pick-up trucks and sophisticated weaponry? How are they feeding and re-equipping their fighters? Where do their injured fighters get medical treatment?

A bunch of 'good-ole-boys' could not have assembled and trained such an advanced force while going unnoticed

What Internet Provider Service is allowing them to post videos and issue 'recruitment' tweets? How did the all-intrusive NSA miss the creation of this group? Why can't the CIA. M-16 and Mossad infiltrate them and smash them from within? Why can't we pinpoint them via satellite and smash them in their tents or barracks? How did such a formidable force like ISIS just seem to materialize out of nowhere and overnight? Why don't they attack or even threaten to attack Israel?

Hmm, yes, good point. I wonder who their ISP is and if they get a different family rate with multiple wives.

ISIS has brand new Toyota trucks…courtesy of the White House, no I’m not joking
ISIS™ Drives Texas-made Toyota Trucks Apparently Modified for U.S. Special Forces






quote:

Isn’t it strange that “ISIS” just happens to be pictured along with a convoy of Toyota trucks that at least appear to be modified the exact same way special forces has them outfitted before shipping them from the factory in Texas?
When you combine this latest discovery with the fact that “ISIS” has 1. U.S. military small arms 2. U.S. military Humvees 3. U.S. military artillery 4. U.S. citizens running their online social media campaigns 5. John McCain met with destabilization campaign terrorists in Syria including someone from the newly formed “ISIS” in March of 2013… what conclusion would a reasonable person come to?
