A snap I took the night Osama was killed.
It solved nothing. A trial in the Southern District of New York would have been far better. I can see him in a glass booth explaining his madness to the world. A lesson would be learned. New York has no Death Penalty. Osama would have spent his days in isolation. His intermittent interviews with the press would have been interesting.
I'm not convinced they actually killed him. I never saw the body. Did you? I wouldn't be surprised if he died of renal failure long before the staged event.
ReplyDeleteP.S. - It also solved nothing, whether true or false. There's always another Islamist loonie coming along every ten minutes or so, much like the commuter express.
ReplyDeleteI used to be a conspiracy fan till it destroyed the concept of truth, and drove this country insane.
ReplyDeleteMind you Moth men are real,...obviously.
That, and the Mole men in the center of the earth.
These are the guys that really deliver Santa's presents.
I mean com'on how could one old guy be everywhere at once.
Even the Flash who is real can't do that.
Otherwise this conspiracy nonsense is the death of civil discourse!
As for Osama as has been proved by the 'real' authorities was an android from the far future. Having altered the past...our present. He went back to the,...we think the 78th century.
This changed, and is now a Utopian Dionysian Paradise.
All it took was the early destruction of western civilization.
This making room for something with a better sense of humor.
Thank gawd for the Internet the fount of all Truth!!!
“The cultural era is past. The new civilization, which may take centuries or a few thousand years to usher in, will not be another civilization—it will be the open stretch of realization which all the past civilizations have pointed to. The city, which was the birth-place of civilization, which as we know it to be, will exist no more. There will be nuclei of course, but they will be mobile and fluid. The peoples of the earth will no longer be shut off from one another within states but will flow freely over the surface of the earth and intermingle. There will be no fixed constellations of human aggregates. Governments will give way to management, using the word in a broad sense. The politician will become as superannuated as the dodo bird. The machine will never be dominated, as some imagine; it will be scraped, eventually, but not before men have understood the nature of the mystery which binds them to their creation. The worship, investigation and subjugation of the machine will give way to the lure of all that is truly occult. This problem is bound up with the larger one of power—and of possession. Man will be forced to realize that power must be kept open, fluid and free. His aim will be not to possess power but to radiate it.”

I think that Henry guy was on to something
ReplyDeleteI've thought about this one a lot. It seems to me there's a problem with not considering all the possibilities; it tends to lead to just believing whatever is the official story, and there may in some cases be good reason to doubt that. Having such doubts doesn't mean we have to buy every cockamamie Protocols of the Elders of Zion type story that comes along, it just means leaving one's mind open to any credible new data, as I see it.
ReplyDeleteTo search for the truth can involve looking at sources we've hitherto never hitherto considered, or listening to people we don't like and usually disagree with. But I consider that if I don't do this, I might wind up believing that Julius Caesar stabbed himself in the back 27 times with assorted different knives, and then died of his self-inflicted injuries. The rejection of the idea that there might be such a thing as conspiracies also can be taken too far.
