Yes they are. They cite no credible references.

Here's the deal my friend: a lot of people in this world are extremely passionate about world affairs. Sadly, lacking the proper training and direction they fail to investigate subjects with actual scientific/jounalistic rigor.

Sad. Truly sad, because if these kinds of people put their passion and fervor towards something productive (say I dunno, productive activism? The advancement of science?) they might have really benefited the world. Because these kinds of people, endlessly curious and driven, come from the same stock as scientists and engineers and social activists. Instead, they sit in the basement as conspiracy theorists.


And lest you think these people are activists because they claim to be exposing the truth - they are not activists. Because: what is the real intent behind their research? Is it towards some positive social change? I think not. What material change do they actually hope to enact through their musings? I think it is merely to satisfy their need for attention.

BUT NOOOO, he puts in such a SMALL amount it LOOKS like the U.S. cares.. but seriously 1,200 compared to 1,2000 is a 1/10th of the actual needed personnel. We're about to be combined sooner or later. Cuz a bunch of you blind idiots think he's doing something RIGHT, when in fact we DO NOT HAVE BORDERS AT ALL.

Think for ONE SECONd...

IF we can rule over multiple countries at a time.... yet we can't SECURE OUR borders after this long? Yea, WE CAN dominate the globe, yet we dont want to secure our borders. That makes sense. Our head officials have this in the bag and lookin' for a bigger agenda than the US, we're already screwed with that. Obama fighting Arizona on a policy that is basically identical to the Fed policy.. but waitttttttttt they're ENFORCING IT?!? That's something new... lol.

We're screwed, and we all know it. Thank you 99% of America for turning your heads around and pretending all of these "coincidences" are just coincidences... sure, cuz politics SOMEhow ends up in coincidences.


Seriously, 90% of the world INCLUDING this forum is pretty dumb when it comes to the big picture =)

Read my above reply and go do something productive.

wrong: Sell DVD's and books. It's the same business model as The Secret, those hologram bracelets, and Mormons/Scientology...

Buy our ______ and we will show you how life/work/physics actually works.


If you think this is real then I have some very exciting land ownership opportunities in Florida that I would like to tell you about....
