Re: Blue Blockers (9/27)

Capital ideas

I THINK YOU SPEAK OUT OF BOTH SIDES OF YOUR MOUTH. YOU ADVOCATE THAT WE SHOULD BE OUT RAGED AT SOMETHIG THE DOMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DO AND NOW PUTTING DOWN PHIL BURRESS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT PORNOGRAPHY. IF YOU THINK A 14 YEAR OLD BOY IS MATURE ENOUGH TO LOOK AT THIS MATERIAL AND IT HAVE NO EFFECT YOU ARE IGNORING ALL THE EVADENCE THAT SAYS OTHER WISE.

Re: No Go Logo (9/27)

It's all been planned by the Illuminati

I would like to point out that it's quite possible that this is 100% intentional and has some sort of "mind warfare" type reasoning behind it. It is quite possible that the U.S. national security establishment is attempting to capitalize on the global conspiracy mythos to create an image of impenetrable and invincible global power.

If this is so, it's quite dangerous as all such spy-chiatrist spooky schemes have this odd tendency to backfire, an event that intelligence people call "blowback." This happens frequently. The wierder and spookier (CIA pun intended) the scheme, the more bizarre and unpredictable the results will be.

The (hypothetical) desired scenario:

The emblem of the Illuminati and it's mythos of unquestionable world power and mystical insight into all strikes fear into the hearts of America's enemies! You will be assimilated! Resistance is futile!

Potential blowback scenario:

If they're trying to unify the left, the right, the libertarians, and the religious conservatives into a single bloc opposing the U.S. national security establishment, then this strategy could very well accomplish that.
