The follow up by people in a conspiracy is to discredit anyone who asserts that there was a conspiracy. One of the methods used is putting people on the street who either are nutjobs or who are pretending to be nutjobs and have them assert crazy conspiracy theories.

So maybe the fellow you met was a nutjob, in which case it would be interesting to know where he got his ideas.

Or maybe he was pretending to be a nutjob, in which case it would be interesting to know his identity and what people he associated with - like maybe his uncle was an agent for one of them three letter agencies, or a banker, or a politician, or one of them people who were on one of the two planes that never existed, or on one of the two other planes that landed safely elsewhere.

MrRodgers: So Hillary was the alpha hey? Well one would have to assume. Or did Monica force Hillary to bring in the republican guard . . .?

Hard to know from a Machiavellian perspective.
But just from a simple perspective, we all saw it wasn't Monica nor Hillary nor Paula Jones that initially broke the camels back. It was Linda Tripp wearing a wire.

But even so, back to the subject of the smoke screen. Either Dems or Reps could have backstaged and settled quite a bit of this before it got out of control. The way they both do with social security reform just before election, etc.

But a sex fight was considered preferable by both parties, at the time, to the real genocidal info (post 33) that the US hoped would stay out of the news.

There are some mental health professionals and therapists that consider the belief in conspiracy theories a form of psychosis.

there are some that find its dismissal as a form of psychosis so what?

"Pronoia is the positive counterpart of paranoia. It is the delusion that others think well of one. Actions and the products of one's efforts are thought to be well received and praised by others. Mere acquaintances are thought to be close friends; politeness and the exchange of pleasantries are taken as expressions of deep attachment and the promise of future support. Pronoia appears rooted in the social complexity and cultural ambiguity of our lives: we have become increasingly dependent on the opinions of others based on uncertain criteria."

only people who can give "first hand knowledge" testimony die and they are usually given one chance to publicly impeach themselves first.

that is why they come out and say yeh this and that then later say something to make themselves a liar.

they want to live and they want their family members to live.

some bozo out on the street passing out information? who gives a fuck, no court can do a damn thing.

its in your face and its as simple as pouring a glass of water.

WantsOfTheFlesh: ya [Rule] say there was never a relationship between monica & slick willy. . do ya know if willy was gettin' his ___ slicked elsewhere?

Rule says there wasn't, to be conspiratorily provocative. But he neither supports it or believes it.

Monica's diaries alludes to oral. And 'needing knee pads'. And the selfishness of him not at first reciprocating. Her sworn testimony to the Special Prosecutor confirms more. Plus the DNA evidence on the blue dress. Don't forget the tape Linda Tripp made of Monica, for the Paula Jones trial.

Willy was preoccupied with minimizing evidence, in this sexual affair with Monica. So he came up with the clever alternative of reciprocating with one of Arafat's gift cigars. Then he savored it and smoked it. Thinking that would be the end of it. Surprising that it did not cause an international stir, when discovered. But unexpectedly this kink turned out to be more memorable than if they'd had missionary sex. I think we can understand that on CM.
She gave him the tie, so that wearing it, would secretly mean he was reminiscing being with her. She never washed the blue dress for the same reason. This was a sexual relationship. Not hot, but sexual.

Some have interpreted that there was a significant emotional component over and above. Unlike everyone around him, Monica was not driven with ambition and pretension. She fucking mooned him the second time she saw him. They identified with aspects of each other's childhood.

Last question about other women during that period. Some have written subsequently. Not under oath, but no reason to doubt. Not as many as Willie's image would suggest.

awe are you all bwoke up over r1 always posting PROOF, aint life a bitch!

But then you like shit hole politics dont you?


ou will never believe what happened in court today.

They argued before an appellate panel of three judges: Judge Ralph Winter, Judge Marina Corodemus (a potential SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) nomination), and Judge John Walker (all Yale law school grads). Of course, Ms. Gallop’s attorneys filed for dismissal of Judge John Walker, which was denied. Clearly, they do not care that the judge hearing the case suing the former Vice President is the former President’s cousin. Ms. Gallop’s attorney’s then made a motion for an appellate review of their decision to keep Judge Walker on the case, which was also denied. And the whole time in court, the arguments of Ms. Gallop’s attorneys were completely ignored and instead were questioned with very demeaning inquiries by the judges, such as:

Do you even have a law degree?
From what law school?
Are you licensed to practice in the 2nd Circuit?
Have you ever represented a client in the 2nd Circuit? etc.

Ms. Gallop’s attorneys plan to file a petition for a re-hearing en banc to appeal to all judges in the case to agree to accept the case. If that gets denied, they will file Cert with with SCOTUS, which will probably also be denied.

I’ve got to say, I’m rather disappointed in our legal system today. But it definitely makes for a very controversial and interesting topic discussion.

first of all you would demand the judge recuse himself, not file for a dismissal. If the guy who did this story is correct and they in fact filed for dismissal they would have had to do it knowing that is improper procedure and would not get it.

Notthing RO posts is relevant to anything. He fails to use credible sources and indeed makes stuff up as he goes along.

I have asked one of these conspiracy nuts for some evidence to back his claim "Al Qaida" was a Jewish organisation. I`m not holding my breath for a reply. Almost everything they come up with is so far fetched, it doesnt even ring as true as "Freddie Starr ate my hamster"

Nothing beats Roosevelt's success in getting Americans to believe that Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese warplanes in 1941. The truth has come to light. The whole thing was produced on a Hollywood movie set with the additional use of computer generated effects. The slip-up came when someone noticed [after a careful study of the Zapruder sequences] the split second appearance of John Wayne manning an anti-aircraft gun onYo one of the alleged destroyers at anchor in the bay. It wasn't until the 1980s that the Government finally stopped denying they had computers back in 1941. Sheesh!

Well you believed them and have since 12/41. So you too are a flat worlder and think [it] the center of all things universal. Yea, I just wouldn't believe govt. or the church or much of anybody else on either on those. The world is in fact flat and the ultimate center of all things.

Ahhh, MrRodgers! I am surprised that you were taken in by my spoof. Cmon! The Zapruder film in 1941? Computers in 1941? Clearly, I was lampooning conspiracy theories. Especially, those who believed the moon landings were staged in Hollywood. Get real. Spoils it that I have to explain it.

The thing is that when you point out that conspiracy theories are compensatory fantasies for people unwilling to accept that any of their shit in their life might be their own fault rather than the result of the Conspiracy picking on them because they know what's really going on, that upsets the conspiratists and they get all arsey...


Some conspiracy theories are not fantasies especially if they are true. Most conspiracies have nothing to do with anybody lack of self-esteem or success and usually without and grounds whatsoever for such a distinction. To suggest id a fear they may be correct in their theory. My who point is that the world's greatest conspiracies turned out...to be true.


Think ya are exaggerating the controversy over tha earth being spherical. many academics through tha ages accepted it openly for a long time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth
quote:

A very recent essay by Leone Montagnini, discussing the question of the shape of the Earth from the origins to the late Antiquity, has shown that the Fathers of the Church shared different approaches that paralleled their overall philosophical and theological visions. Those of them who were more close to Platonic visions, like Origen, shared peacefully the geosphericism. A second tradition, including Basil, Ambrose and Augustine, but also Philoponus, accepted the idea of the round Earth and the radial gravity, but in a critical way. In particular they pointed out a number of doubts about the physical reasons of the radial gravity, and hesitated in accepting the physical reasons proposed by Aristotle or Stoicism. However, a "flattist" approach was more or less shared by all the Fathers coming from the Syriac area, who were more inclined to follow the letter of the Old Testament. Diodorus, Severian, and Cosmas Indicopleustes, but also Chrysostom, belonged just to this latter tradition.[79]

At least one early Christian writer, Basil of Caesarea (329–379), believed that the matter was theologically irrelevant.[80] ...

With the end of Roman civilization, Western Europe entered the Middle Ages with great difficulties that affected the continent's intellectual production. Most scientific treatises of classical antiquity (in Greek) were unavailable, leaving only simplified summaries and compilations. Still, many textbooks of the Early Middle Ages supported the sphericity of the Earth. For example: some early medieval manuscripts of Macrobius include maps of the Earth, including the antipodes, zonal maps showing the Ptolemaic climates derived from the concept of a spherical Earth and a diagram showing the Earth (labeled as globus terrae, the sphere of the Earth) at the center of the hierarchically ordered planetary spheres.[81] Further examples of such medieval diagrams can be found in medieval manuscripts of the Dream of Scipio. In the Carolingian era, scholars discussed Macrobius's view of the antipodes. One of them, the Irish monk Dungal, asserted that the tropical gap between our habitable region and the other habitable region to the south was smaller than Macrobius had believed


Oh there was thought about the earth being round but that's not what power in govt. or church would allow the schools to teach or...society at large to believe. An objective look at the history of research in the possibility of science and math proving the church and power the truth, there was resistance until finally people actually thought Columbus and his crew to be incredibly brave souls...attempting to sail to and maybe past the edge of the world.

so the fact that important intellectuals close to tha roman church mostly believed it for centuries matters none?

how did the church suppress it & did they need ta when most folks in them days werent literate anyway?

WantsOfTheFlesh: ya [Rule] say there was never a relationship between monica & slick willy. . do ya know if willy was gettin' his ___ slicked elsewhere?

Rule says there wasn't, to be conspiratorily provocative. But he neither supports it or believes it.

Monica's diaries alludes to oral. And 'needing knee pads'. And the selfishness of him not at first reciprocating. Her sworn testimony to the Special Prosecutor confirms more. Plus the DNA evidence on the blue dress. Don't forget the tape Linda Tripp made of Monica, for the Paula Jones trial.

Willy was preoccupied with minimizing evidence, in this sexual affair with Monica. So he came up with the clever alternative of reciprocating with one of Arafat's gift cigars. Then he savored it and smoked it. Thinking that would be the end of it. Surprising that it did not cause an international stir, when discovered. But unexpectedly this kink turned out to be more memorable than if they'd had missionary sex. I think we can understand that on CM.
She gave him the tie, so that wearing it, would secretly mean he was reminiscing being with her. She never washed the blue dress for the same reason. This was a sexual relationship. Not hot, but sexual.

i think rule literally believes it never happened & willy is telling us all tha truth coz he also believes much stranger foil stuff.

thanx for retelling bubbas escapades. they never fail to raise a laugh though not too sure how true tha cigar story is.
