You throw this up as some form of Ta DAH! Moment. It is merely the main introductory paragraph of the 6 page missive from NYU in the 90's. You fail to post the rest of the information or even provide a link so others can see you're being disingenuous while we get another fucktube video and you argue intellectual honesty.

Survivalists have long dreamed of a day when their prepping and AR-15s can be deployed against the evil government. A second American revolution. Well its happened in Washington D.C. Grand juries made up of ordinary freedom fighters are refusing to indict those prosecuted by the King's courts. "In what could be read as a citizens’ revolt, ordinary people serving on grand juries have repeatedly refused in recent days to indict their fellow residents who became entangled in either the president’s immigration crackdown or his more recent show of force. It has happened in at least seven cases — including three times for the same defendant." This despite the fact that juries are force fed whatever stories the prosecutors want to come up with. Stories like the defendant has insulted the looks, the intelligence and the size of the King's hands. Or even called him a Limp Caudillo! One freedom fighter, himself on the brink of starvation because of the King's bad economy. Threw his subway sandwich at a storm trooper and was charged with felonious assault. Three times juries refused to indict him. Now his image of resistance is spreading to the walls of the city. All of which infuriated the King causing him to throw a half eaten Royal Mac hamburger against the great hall of the royal palace. The rest of the world has seen a crack of light under the castle's drawbridge. There is a fight against the King from his subjects.

Sure, but that's why we have a Coast Guard. Tracking the speed boat and intercepting it would have been a no brainer and if they were drug runners and resisted with deadly force then tough shit. This was cold blooded murder not legitimate border protection.

Hi folks, 'Fraud will not be tolerated in President Trump’s housing market.' Really: Oregon’s Lori Chavez-DeRemer, other Trump cabinet members claimed 2 primary residences - oregonlive.com Trump 2.0 business as usual. Jerry Baumchen

I see him as creating chaos, stepping back and watching people gravitate to the chaos while he rubs his hands in delight.

Really, for a good 100 years or so until the late 1980’s and early 1990’s this was fairly true of the US. The “divide and conquer” strategy, especially when it’s US were dividing, is not good for a country that wants to adapt to the world. And the world isn’t going to adapt to it for real long Wendy P.

Nordic countries: The political parties respect each other and trust between them and the government is a given. The people trust the government. America. The political parties are at war and one party the MAGA-republican party teaches that the government is evil.That it can't be trusted and tries to use the justice system against its citizens. The parties use the tax system to create winners and losers.

Benzedrine has been confirmed.

I refuse to hide from being American, I'm just not especially proud of it for the time being.

I think Cooper is a guy that likes McGyvering. Control freak. In a strange way he is also trying to maintain 'isolation' - as little interaction with the outside world as possible. He is demonstrating his tactical priorities. It may not be logical but it is his way of fostering the illusion that he is in control. He also has confidence in his McGyvering! Arrogance. Manager type. If something goes wrong he only has himself to blame ? A loner mentality. Loners have lots of grudges... its a personality type. Myopic manager type. ? Conflict archetype. Saw these personality types when I worked for Voc Rehab. They just could not accept that a stroke of some other event had changed their lives. They turned to crime as a shortcut thinking they could not be caught ... a pathetic situation common in the rehab profession. They always forget or overlook something crucial. Cooper may be a guy who decided to solve a financial problem by an elaborate parachuting solution few others would even conceive. The FBI might have looked for Cooper in the social welfare system.

Speaking of cowboys: "Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the US will "blow up" foreign crime groups if needed, possibly in collaboration with other countries. "Now they're gonna help us find these people and blow them up, if that's what it takes," Rubio said during a visit to Ecuador...."The president has said he wants to wage war on these groups because they've been waging war on us for 30 years and no-one has responded." The US Department of Defence in now renamed the Department of War to better reflect the war on domestic jaywalkers in Washington. Together with the war on high speed boats in international waters. Too bad many CIA officers hired in the last two years were fired in May. They might have come in handy identifying all the new gangs who have waged "war" against America for the last 30 years.

Trump might have soldiers in Humvees in Washington. Here in Aus when we deploy the military in a city we do it properly:) They’re practicing for the upcoming air display day - and not my photo.

Hi Mark, This might be why: The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller Jerry Baumchen

yes, he's a confounding combination of seeming to know what's he talking about at certain times but then other times he's obviously full of shit. I think about him scoffing over them not being able to take off with the stairs down. "Yes they can..." There's absolutely no way he could have known that. As far as I know the only time a 727 has ever taken off with the stairs down was during the evacuation of Da Nang in 1975 and that was obviously an emergency.

Reframing an issue, particularly a complex one, to understand it from a different light is considered to be intellectually valid. CRT is largely reframing an issue to understand it from a different light. You just don't like that light. Wendy P.

As time goes on, more and more republicans are finding they can't stomach some part of Trump's growing anti-American program. Whether it's calling veterans "suckers" and "losers" and cancelling their VA care, or calling for the "termination" of the "phony" Constitution, or supporting pedophiles, eventually some of the more principled republicans make a break with the Trump cult and come back to reality. The latest big name to do this is Owen Shroyer, one of the lackeys on the various Alex Jones shows. Shroyer was as pro-Trump as they came. He called Harris a "blackie" during one show with Jones, he was arrested for ringleading one of the Jan 6th attacks on police, and was one of the people claiming that Sandy Hook was a hoax with crisis actors. But finally it got too much for Shroyer and he walked out of the Alex Jones machine. Jones tried to downplay it, saying that Shroyer had to leave for a "family medical emergency." But Shroyer quickly livestreamed a response, saying "There was no family emergency. I walked off the show." "Alex had been coming into my show [War Room], and talking about how I’m negative and calling me a pessimist, and all this other stuff, which is fine. He says I’m too negative, he says I’m a pessimist, whatever, I’m too anti-Trump . . . maybe he’s right.” Shroyer wanted to stay and at first he thought that Jones would be amenable to a more fact-based approach without Jones looking over his shoulder constantly to protect Trump. "I was wrong," he said. "It happened, and I just said I’m out.” There was no mention of what specifically was the straw that broke the camel's back, but since Shroyer had been mentioning Trump's protection of the Epstein list frequently, that was a likely reason. His livestream drove Jones into an unhinged rant, saying "You couched each statement—perfectly thought out and looking down at your notes—to be able to lie about us and try to hurt this organization for your benefit so you can be a hero. You are a snake. You are a rat. You are a fraud. You are a backstabber. You are a hand biter. You are a disgrace.” To be called all those things by Alex Jones is a high compliment indeed.

Agree, pyramid scheme, suckers game, there are hundreds of crypto schemes possibly thousands out there. Foolish, greedy little pigs all waiting to get slaughtered. But face it be bibles, steaks, university, casinos, etc. Trump always makes out like a bandit.

That will fall flat in a nation where 99% don't know the difference between an adjective and an adverb.

I genuinely believe the US would be a less violent place with more boobies on TV. Countries that don’t allow boobies always seem to be full of angry violent men.

I could have sworn murdering civilians of another nation NOT at war with the attacker was considered a full out war crime. Good to see AmeriKKKa is in with the most violent, murdering, and hated nations on the planet. Impressive accomplishment from the Pedo POTUS. Might be the fast decimation of a nation in history.

Imagine having someone with that level of maturity as your president?

He’s a troll. We’d ban him here. Wendy P.

Hi Keith, Re: Why so many Americans are now moving to the Independent Party Here in Oregon we have an Independent Party. I am not a member. I am a non-affiliated voter; that is a choice we have here. Jerry Baumchen

Even by the standards of a guy who usually says 3 insane things before breakfast, that is fucking INSANE.

Jakee, We're done here. I'm putting you on block again. Do the same to me.

Hi Keith, That nailed it. IMO this one is the most definitive of Trump: Lack of Empathy and [ Lack of] Remorse for Harm Caused Jerry Baumchen

Really? Is this Trumpish? “you don't know shit from a good grade of peanut butter.” Because I didn’t say that, Bigun did. What about this? “Now just piss the fuck off”? Because I didn’t say that, Bigun did. And that’s despite the fact that he’s wrong. Despite the fact that he knows he’s wrong. And he’s still behaving like that. So who should you be talking to about pissing contests?

I view it moreso as evidence that Flo was no longer afraid of Cooper by that point. I can’t say I blame her. That plane could’ve been heading off to parts unknown. She needs her money and her license and all that.

Hi Bill, I believe that the term is: You reap what you sow. Jerry Baumchen

Irrespective of undocumented workers on the job site. Actions like that will certainly send the message to any international corporation wanting to build a US plant. That every law slighted or fired worker could result in storm troopers at the door. Or perhaps Hyundai failed to pay the obligatory bribes to the Orange King at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

It was Flo. She exited the plane with Alice, and I believe she made it all the way to inside the car on the tarmac. Somehow she was allowed to just walk back up the stairs and go to the back with Cooper and Tina to retrieve her purse. It’s absolutely an insane thing to do. I’ve speculated she had something in her purse and realized she’d get busted if found…I’m happy to assume weed but could be other substances. No one cares 50+ years in if a 22 year old stew had party favors in her purse in her way to Miami. It’s not meant as a slight. Hell…I’d expect one of the crew to have something.

He did some strange things but like Georger said, some could be tactical. Having as little interaction with the world outside the plane as possible is a perfectly rationale decision. To me he seems like his plan was to keep it simple, get in and get out as quick as possible and have as few touch points as possible. He says as few words as possible too. Everything is focused on getting this show on the road. This is a bank robber mentality. The one thing he does that seems the oddest to me could be the easiest to explain. Cooper waited until the plane landed and Tina was going to make her first run and then he went to the bathroom with the briefcase and mystery bag. Why wait till on the ground? That has no tactical advantage unless he was up to something. And why bring the mystery bag from under his seat? I get he could have just had to take a piss but he isn’t a child. He would have known as the plane was descending he had to pee. It’s way smarter to do that in the air. It’s super suspicious to wait until on the ground when he is most vulnerable. Only one thing weirder happens the whole skyjacking. And that’s Flo re-boarding to get her purse. That’s just flat out crazy behavior. I found one other example of a passenger re-boarding, he came to get his jacket and he left in a body bag.

Hi Mark, I've been in a fair number of foreign countries. IMO it's pretty easy to identify US citizens. I do not care what you are wearing. Jerry Baumchen

You have no idea.

Hi Keith, Re: If it was a nuclear weapon Those suspected drug runners did not impose an immanent threat to anyone. Everyone should get access to due process, even mass murders. Do you not agree? Jerry Baumchen PS) And, IMO this should be part of this conversation: The massive drug bust that wasn’t: How 50 million ‘fatal doses’ turned out to be mostly water

It's hard being brave, especially when it hurts personally. Myself, I took the flag off our boat the morning of November 6. When I get asked about it I say it blew off in the election, end of questions.

Official award day was weathered out. So, well, I'll have my own ceremony... I didn't join USPA until I was off student status I think, or at least on 15 second delays or something like that. Wendy P.

I've said it a million time. It's weird that he decided to spend an hour and a half McGyvering the money bag instead of simply demanding that a knapsack be brought.

Quite the history question you've proposed. We've been using the military to do this since the 80's war on drugs - including in foreign countries. It does not violate Substantive Due Process (where the courts have decided govermental regulation trumps regular constitutional norms (see what I did there)) and has been heard at the Supreme Court several times. I think most people don't give a shit when it comes to protecting the borders from an influx of drugs. I don't. Don't want to die; don't attempt to bring drugs into the country.

I'm surprised that the entire US chain of command has not made a peep in protest.

I don't think it would work today. It would require a bill passed by those in power in both houses and the President - and power is not going to let go of said power.

Do you know the details of that? As I understand it, those stairs down and locked are meant to be able to support the plane, since all three engines are on the tail making it tail-heavy, it risked being able to tilt back as passengers are loading. If that is true, then those stairs down and locked could prevent the plane from rotating on takeoff, and that could potentially cause damage to the tail section in the attempt?

I've never had a real clear answer for this, but it was a radio for "cockpit communications" according to Tina's statement. I wrote this on your reddit post just now, but the word "radio" comes from Tina. I think it would be better described as a walkie-talkie for communicating with Al Lee and/or the fuel truck guys. Essentially it was for short-range communication with some of the guys on the ground outside. Cooper seemed to be aware of its existence. It's nowhere in the transcript where they mention discussing this with him, but I guess they must have explained to him at some point that it would be needed to communicate with the guy bringing the ransom items, etc.

Going through the paper, the basis of its argument is Petito Principii, a classical fallacy of relevance. CRT, like DEI, is terminally flawed. Those who eapouse these doctrines are either contrarian or simply hard of thinking.

Mamie Till did it in 1955. It's a great article.

Sorry I call them as I see them. I don't see you as a hero. I just see you as one of the many Trump supporters who are maintaining your sanity by denying reality. And while it's good that you are staying sane, it's sad that you are doing it by ignoring reality. Again, given Trump is literally a rapist, and is just as literally supporting and protecting pedophiles and human traffickers, I can't take your crying very seriously. You deal with the beam in your eye and then we'll look to fixing the motes in everyone else's. I blame conservatives for supporting rapists, pedophiles, human traffickers and felons, yes. And will continue to do so until you stop supporting them. For 1500 years academia has been pushing EVERY idea. It's what they do. They push the ideas of Kant, and Nietzsche, and Jung, and Freud. They push "natural philosophy" (science) and math and theater. They go into capitalism and socialism and communism and nihilism and objectivism and every other -ism. The difference between you and I is that I think studying things like that is worth it. You think studying anything other than the things you believe in to be stupidity. Which is why you so often misunderstand what happens in the world around you; you have no frame of reference other than your own, and you get your worldview from whatever Youtube video you saw last night. Then you post that video here thinking it is a substitute for intelligent analysis. It's not. Given that Fauci literally wrote the book on infectious disease, he's a lot smarter than you or I - and has done far more good for Americans (and the world at large) than you or I ever will.

That and more. Truly, as Thom Hartmann has written we need to see the wounded and the bodies of the children. Until then the prayers people will never shut up.

Back to school shopping!!! This should be a must watch.

Spot on…. I completely agree.

They say they can make a ram air parachute , talk is cheap, first they have to make a canopy or two and jump them to make sure they are O.K. Then we will see.
