Trump did everything the GOP thought Obama was going to do to stay in power.

If Kenny actually wore a trench coat and carried a brief case, then I don't think there's anything about that photo that is "Coopery". Your post ALMOST makes me wish Blevins was still allowed here. I'd love to hear how he spun that conversation, and we all know he would have.

At CooperCon, I met a woman there who was working as an like a historic interpreter at the Museum of Flight. She had been a NWA flight attendant for forty years. She worked for NWO specifically during the 60's and 70's. She knew everyone involved and worked a good bit with both Alice and Tina. I asked her some Coopery questions and these were the answers. - How often did you load or unloaded passengers from the rear stairs of a 727? She said even when they came to an airport without a jetway they'd often just use the airstairs on a truck. - Would a pilot have known how to lower the rear stairs? She thought about it for a minute and said something like "well, all they'd need to do is read the panel instructions, but I don't think any of them would have ever done that before. That was something we always did if we ever lowered them at all." - If a passenger ordered a bourbon and a soda, did you mix the drink for them or did you give them a soda and an airplane bottle of bourbon? She said the stews would mix the drinks for the passengers. - At the time of Cooper, a mixed drink was $1 and a soda was .25 on the menu. Was a bourbon and soda $1 or $1.25. She said it was $1. - Did you take any tickets or anything when passengers boarded? She said during boarding they would look at the ticket as each passenger boarded. - If you were working in the rear cabin of a 727, where would you have placed your purse? She said there were these little compartments behind the rear row of seats that they could open up and store some gear in. I asked her this to figure out how where Flo's purse would have been when she retrieved it...just to see how awkward that interaction would have been. and finally the most interesting one to me... - Did you know Kenny Christiansen? She said she knew Kenny very well and everyone enjoyed working with him. She said that immediately after the hijacking they began to joke about Kenny due to the sketch. She said it was a bit of a running joke with NWO cabin and flight crew for a while that he was Cooper and so she was shocked when all the stuff about him first came out in 2008 or whenever it was. Said she was basically thinking: "They cannot be serious. This was just our NWO inside joke!" - I asked her if an employee like Kenny could have hijacked an NWO plane and gone unnoticed. She said it would beggar belief for that to have occurred without the employee being recognized. She said NWO was a small group back then and all the employees knew each other. She felt that at least one of the three stewardesses would have worked with him at some point by Nov 71. My takeaway from the conversation I had with her about Kenny is that I think her comments might explain the existence of that "Coopery photo" of Kenny. I bet it was just a gag photo he took to use for joking around with his friends at the airline.

So, you claim to dislike the maga agenda of American primacy, yet somehow think that it is wrong for the neighbours to comment? Frankly full of freaking unfriendly foolishness.

Mr Murphy doesn't like it when people ignore his Law.

Look at my tag line. It’s the truth. Just because something that should bite you hasn’t doesn’t mean you’re that good, or that it won’t bite you. You’ve been lucky is all Wendy P

One interesting thing is that the Apollo 1 fire, Challenger explosion and Columbia reentry disintegration all had the same root cause: Overconfidence. Refusing to believe that the problems they KNEW about would come back and bite them in the ass. Apollo 1 was a piece of junk. Cobbled together, with some REALLY shoddy wiring. They knew (or should have known) that a spark was almost inevitable. And that a spark in the (unnecessary for that test) 100% oxygen atmosphere would be catastrophic. Challenger was flown in weather conditions outside what was allowed. The engineers at Morton Thiokol TOLD NASA officials that it was too cold. And they flew anyway. NASA had seen insulation from the External Tank fall off and hit the shuttle a few times. They KNEW it could damage the heat shielding tiles. In fact, they suspected it had done so on the Columbia, but chose not to look too closely. In all three cases, they chose to ignore clear indications of danger, thinking 'it can't happen'.

Out of only 18 partial and full missions Apollo 1 killed its crew on the launch pad, and Apollo 13 came within a whisker of leaving its crew dead in space or burned up in the atmosphere. The Space Shuttle, despite being an even more complicated vehicle and a programme that was seriously mismanaged in a number of ways, lost 2 crews in 135 missions. Nasa got to the moon in the 1960s because it was taking risks that wouldn't even be considered, let alone accepted, in the 1980s or today.

This would be a good reason why you are not a mod. We are strong enough of mind to sort this out for ourselves. Hiding from Putin's propaganda will solve nothing. Seeing it first hand merely strengthens our understanding of how they operate.
