since i doubt any of you are up on the news here are some recent events. what are the chances that all these events will happen this close together unless there is at least some kind of organized campaign?

april 8 - postmark date of ricin-containing letters sent to obama and senator wicker

april 10 - mississippi judge receives and opens a suspicious letter april

15 - boston marathon bombing at the jfk library and finish line

april 17 - explosion at a fertilizer plant in texas
april 17 - a medical clinic in beloit opened an envelope that was hand-delivered by a patient. 15 people injured, 65 quarantined

to date: bomb sent to joe arpaio

a couple more points - the atlantic takes the threat to the media narrative that this bombing is by confronting the false-flag issue

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/04/what-is-false-flag-attack-boston-bombing/64260/

and then apparently yahoo news has 1 of 4 potential suspects as 'the government'

http://news.yahoo.com/whos-behind-boston-marathon-bombings-4-theories-070000129.html

and if it does turn out to be these guys from the 'terrorist' states near russia you all need to realize that all that terrorism is run by the cia and other intelligence agencies supposedly by the americans to destabilize the region and supposedly on the russian side to consolidate power in the kremlin.

my understanding of this website

if you run a campaign like a police state then people don't like you. and your 'opponent' (if there even is one and it is not really other members of your 'side' making it up) gets support so in order to really win you claim to be the side with 'principles' and claim to follow them. you claim authority through that. but really you have none, and try to get people working for you that have none. you do everything to get things to happen that violate every possible rule of decency. but you claim to have principles and you claim to follow those principles and any time they aren't followed is a problem that you will deal with. like the old school british and piracy.

and you hope this can allow people in your group to stay in the group and really trust it due to thinking that maybe the group is principled in some way, and hopefully has some influence on outsiders, but probably that is less important.

I hope you have a fun life, blankflag.

The thing that saddens me most about conspiracy theorists (true or (false) is that they choose to use whatever freedom they *do* have worrying all the time about conspiracy theories and their freedoms being fake or taken away. There is so much you can do with life other than worry when you're free at all.

That actually goes for intense politics addicts too, not just conspiracy theorists.

Anyway, like I say. I hope you have a cool life and it just happens that this is the only side of you that we see here.

I think the blank rule is a very good one. You should not be allowed to post anything on the forum, ever. Every time you post a new thread, civilisation takes a small step backwards. Every time you post a comment on an existing thread, a kitten dies somewhere in the world. Your rambling, incoherent, often nonsensical frothing about non-existent conspiracies do nothing but clutter up forum space that could be used for more constructive purposes, such as people yelling "MAN UP" at each other.

we have few freedoms. just because the people at the top were able to crush any other countries where people were starting to get freedoms - resulting in us having a little more than some other places does not mean we have much. but since bush and particularly obama, what little there was is now really not there. we have probably the minimum amount of freedom possible without the country being completely unstable. so there is not much to celebrate.

but it will probably get worse. so in that sense it isnt the worst possible. i think they have the means to just not even worry about innovation anymore and just transition to a completely centrally run economy. through powers granted to them from bush and obama. so while you conspiracy deniers / corporate media faithers are being distracted by this or that bs, they are moving the system in place.

who is really wasting his life? the guy who is warning others about the destruction of our way of life or the one talking about the latest debate over gay marriage or whether it was muslims or patriots behind the latest event or some hollywood gossip story?

Blankmind, where did you get the idea that this wasn't a police state? It sure as hell isn't a democracy or republic. It's a site that is moderated and if you fuck something up they will wipe you out with a ban. Don't fuck up and you don't have to worry about it. Keep fucking up and you do.

i didnt think who arpaio is matters too much. but if i were to speculate, it looks like the anthrax attacks. they sent fake anthrax to people who were supposedly for the patriot act or pro-war. but then there was real anthrax sent to the real critics of the administration. so i guess maybe it is similar. everyone knows even if those obama and wicker letters contained ricin that the two would not receive the letters personally, but it looks like the arpaio one was actually dangerous.

could be a repeat - the real threat sent to the people they really dont like, the fake threat sent to the people they like but want to convince are the enemies of the terrorists...

arpaio was supposedly anti-immigration. i dont even really know it completely but if they are against him it is for being against centralized control by the government, or trying to take back power to the state or municipality or people rather than have it centrally run like the ussr or something. so it is not about imigration, but about philosophy - about who has power.

but that is all speculation, my main point is to show that something organized is happening here, just like what happened on 9/11.

or if you think that sure this thing happens in europe but not america just watch the video clip circulating the internet now about the 93 wtc bomb where the fbi's informant secretly recorded conversations with them and caught them.

because he was asking them to substitute a harmless powder for the explosive but the fbi refused to do it and made the bombing happen.

this was even reported on the news http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1Y6cGRXEs

so it happens in europe, in america, everywhere. if you think it is paranoia then you are brainwashed.

I'm not sure what's complicated. You were spamming the forum, you were asked to keep your "news" in one thread like the Daily Bible Postings are limited to one thread. You kept spamming the forum and were silenced. Then you came back from your silence and started spamming again so another moderator silenced you.

blankflag (0 DX)
20 Apr 13 UTC
from the responses i get on this forum, though, the userbase here is really incredibly stupid. because anyone who really looks into any of this sees the truth. but i tell a lot of them what is happening and bring solid proof, but they never see what is happening.... just more evidence there are a lot of fake accounts. but whatever the truth is, it is clear i am not having an impact here.

@ philcore: I live in the UK. I read/watch the international news every day. I have no fucking clue who "Joe Arpaio" is, unless he's that "Joe The Plumber" asshole? Is that him?

@blankwhatever: "the mods are just stupid and dont like me"

Don't single out the mods. *Nobody* likes you.

@blankexpession: "the userbase here is really incredibly stupid"

Why are you still here, then? Why would you waste your time attempting to address people you think are "incredibly stupid"?

@blankass: "my main point is to show that something organized is happening here..."

You have shown nothing. Provide some evidence. You have none. You have provided only your own opinion, or links to the opinions of other nutcases. If you set out to show something, show it... I would attack you more, but the CIA guy has just arrived - it's time for my daily injection.

@blankflag, you're incorrect. I'm one of the most tolerant people on the site when it comes to content. I have no one muted and read pretty much everything in the forum. I have seen threads devoted to proving me a terrible person and a terrible moderator. I have no problem with anything except spam.

Spamming is pretty difficult to achieve here. Spamming requires someone to either post threads in an effort to knock other threads off the top page or to post repeated topics with no purpose or a repeated purpose. You have a purpose, all your threads are devoted to proving to everyone else on the site that the media and governments are lying to us. I have no problem with this. The problem is that you take this purpose into every thread you make and every comment you post.

"Try to keep replies relevant to the conversation and don't start too many threads at once."

In every thread on the forum related to diplomacy you've posted something off topic relating to your purpose I mentioned earlier. Now some other members do derail threads, but I have never in my 4 years here seen anyone do it to the degree you do. That is why you are being singled out and asked to keep your threads to 1 thread. I'm not even asking you to stop derailing other threads. But I am telling you that if you keep making new threads with the sole purpose of "educating" the community on your beliefs you will be silenced, for a month the next time should you continue to show a blatant disregard for this sites rules and moderator decisions.

@steephie - No. That is definitely two distinct threads. One to show us that the government and media really are lying to us and a second to fight the derailing threads accusation. Do not take this lying down! Power to the people!

@jamie: no he's not Joe the plummer, he's a local sheriff in Arizona. He's the sheriff of Maricopa county, which is the county that the Phoenix metro are is in. He mad a name for himself by removing tvs from the jails, issuing pink underwear, not letting inmates smoke, building a "tent city" to house the inmates in the nice Arizona sun, instituted chain gangs where inmates chained together clean up the highways. And made every meal bologna sandwiches. He also has illegal alien roundups.

He's been called the toughest sheriff in America, but I would be surprised to hear that he's known on a national level, much less international. So thanks for confirming.
