Dear Ms. Freeland: Ever heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis? Freeland: 'This may be most uncertain international moment since WWII'

Leftist thugs making a mockery of democracy. Why bother with the process with this thuggery? http://www.libertyinfo.net/2017/10/10/antifa-plans-to-forcibly-remove-trump-from-office-on-nov-4th/

Gobble-gobble-gobble. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Marijuana. oh, wait a minute.

The articles you refer to that in your opinion raises " interesting" discussions are "interesting" because YOU are interested which is a euphemism for you agreeing with the articles' speculations. Likewise the article you refer to as "good", because you agree with it so call it "good". Unfortunately the speculation in all the articles you have raised has been debunked. The problem with this thread and discussions on conspiracy theories is that with due respect, people like you read articles that subjectively speculate about what "could" have happened with ZERO objective evidence. It sounds possible to you so you find what's speculated "interesting" or "good". It does not make the articles you read either interesting or good to me or others. For me and others we need OBJECTIVE evidence not SPECULATIVE theories. One of the problems with this thread is its initiator has shown repeatedly he presents subjective speculation as objective fact and his own emotional feelings as "truth". When responded to with objective evidence that contradicted what he quoted, he then engaged in name calling as he continues with Omni showing he can not emotionally detach himself from the issues he discusses. His words also show he will in fact quote a subjective opinion or theory and claim its a fact. Now in your case you are on a forum and respectfully point out speculative theories you like which I get. They actually have been addressed on this thread and others. We tend to talk in circles as the same issues get repeated over and over in circles. You of course should try challenge yourself to consider other articles other than the ones you read. With due respect there are other articles other then "how stuff works" . "how stuff works" is designed to simplify engineering and physics concepts-it might be the answers you are not considering are not in "how stuff works" because such articles aren't designed to provide the complex formulas you would need to understand to get a full picture. Also the problem with theories is until proven with objective testing they remain unproven and thus they fuel continued discussion as people argue since they can't be proven, they can't be disproven and rely on that fallacy to keep repeating them. Consider this. We know it is human nature after a disasterous event to try make sense of it. Our minds are designed to see patterns and if need be make patterns out of chaos. Its called apophenia. We see faces in clouds. We want to make sense of what would otherwise make no sense. We create conspiracies or theories that connect the dots in what otherwise seems like a disconnected series of dots. Its what we do. Its why we created religion-to fill the void for phenomena our 5 senses and mind do not seem to otherwise comprehend. Conspiracies like religious values give us faith in what would otherwise seem like hell, chaos, insanity. The fact is and its very hard for some to grasp, not all events happen in a logical, pre-ordained series of planned thought. We want to believe their is intelligent design behind everything. Certainly when we study nature that most often is the case. Its marvelous actually to see the intricate connections between different life forms and how we all are dependent on one another and what a beautiful maze of interaction it really is. In that sense it proves what some like to refer to as "God", an order behind the order and chaos too. There is no reason to disbelieve intelligent design in nature or even in many human actions but stop and think, do you really think all humans are as planned and organized as you give these alleged conspiracy creators. Do you really think with the extent of inter-dependence required to carry off the conspiracies some believe, they could possibly remain secret or not go as planned or did not happen the way you want to see them as happening? The reality is you live in the world where the media, mostly your cell phone and internet is your path of knowledge. How many books does anyone read? Who are we kidding? Is the generation depending on the internet and cell phone for their thoughts connected to their inner selves spiritually or in any way? The average person takes a cell phone or internet, reads a few articles, picks the ones they like, and then they feel they have a base of awareness to then conclude not only what the truth is but a platform to scorn and insult others and pose themselves as prophets like Hot Enough. :I can only tell you what I know having worked inside government. Its not organized. Its chaos. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. Bureaucracy is such that there are excessive layers and departments or compartments of people who have no clue what people outside their jurisdictions are doing. Government is sometimes like a comedy of errors its so poorly organized. When things do break-down and they do, civil servants run for cover erasing any trace they had anything to do with the trouble. Often that is what outsides see as conspiracy when its simply inept bureaucrats covering their asses. Rather than repeat the contents of this thread, all I will say is in conclusion, your theories have been responded to and explained if you want to find them and you may wish to consider the articles below: https://psychcentral.com/lib/patterns-the-need-for-order/ http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/magazine/why-rational-people-buy-into-conspiracy-theories.html

I am going to take a wild guess that you have never spent any time inside of a penal institution? If you had - or have any friends of family members who have - you would know that the ethnicity of the majority of detainees is hugely dissproportionately non-white, non-European. Even when "we" observe that, the genuine "white guilt" culture conspires to blame the Euro-centric population. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1147637?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents https://torontoist.com/2016/04/african-canadian-prison-population/ the usual...it's all Whitie's fault. Here is a nice, clear study showing results of incarceration in Canada. Again, much higher for blacks and aboriginals relative to population, lower for caucasians and asians http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/research/r144-eng.shtml Putting all of the politcaly correct racism talk aside, the fact is that non-caucasian minorities actually commit a lot more crime, then bitch about being treated like criminals. Within the Caucasian component, I believe you will find recent non-anglo immigrants also represented in much great proportion. What are "we" "doing" about it? (as one article above asks). Simple: actively recruiting far, far more immigrants with no cultural attitude of assimilation from places where crime is the status quo for small business. and you don't see a problem there?????

Speaking of salmon, pinks are on sale just now on this coast, and I have a smoker and lot's of apple and cherry wood to chip. Just have to put the brine together and I'll soon be giving thanks to the seas, and the trees.

As has already been documented, 90% of immigrants who are accepted to Canada never see an immigration officer for an interview until they arrive. overworked Immigration officers in cubicles in Ottawa go through the paperwork applications and assign points and move on as quickly as possible to the next applicant. No one ever checks out the credentials unless something really looks suspicious. No one interviews the potential Canadian. Security screening consists of checking to see if they're wanted. That's it. As for refugees, no one has a clue who they are. They largely lack documents, and what documents they do have are easily faked or bought. Again, security screening consists of seeing if they're wanted somewhere under the name they've given, or if their fingerprints are held by someone in the West.

Maybe if they learned compassion centuries ago ,they would not be in this mess today. Had to leave for a minute, but the countries you mentioned have been slaughtering thier own people long before the western world started. And they will be slaughtered long after the western world is gone. It seems to survive a long time you can't be nice to your people. Islam has proven that. All the western world did was try and stop the slaughter and of course some bad shit happened. But IMO Islamic countries want to slaughter their people and force the west into doing something. You may have fooled the western left but not everybody.
