Out of the Blue

I was already running a little behind this morning, and a little plumbing problem set me even further back. According to our friendly neighborhood plumber, the pipe to the radiator in our second-floor bathroom, which had apparently been rusting for years, finally failed, causing a (thankfully minor) flood in the basement. Turns out this is sort of good news that this finally came to a head, as he says this was impeding the heat on the second floor as well as my office above, so having the pipe repaired may well help us keep our house warmer.

Must defend against troll accusations Nov 23, 2004, 09:58
Nov 23, 2004, 09:58
 
Noticed I was getting some mention as a troll in a few threads yesterday. On the off chance that someone might actually believe it, I must provide some more real world proof of the things I say.

Awhile back I was mentioning how Isreal controls the USA in one of the political threads talking about who runs the US. The usual suspects jumped in and called me names, suggested the thread be deleted, my posts be deleted, I be banned, I am a nazi, etc etc etc. You would think I was as powerful as Godzilla or something. All for writing an accurate reflection of reality.

One particularly insulting person I challenged. I said "instead of calling me names or saying I tell lies, prove that I am wrong that Isreal controls Bush and the White House". He then posted a paragraph by a man named William Krisol who worked at a think tank. The article was something like "those fools who believe in conspiracy theories think that Israel controls the USA".

I responded by telling him that William Kristol was one of them. One of the people who controls the USA. I don't know if he or anyone else believed me. People always want internet links or quotes. So here we go. A quote from a story in a major news site, Asia Times Online, that tells who William Kristol is and who he works for.

Describing what PNAC is, and describing all the traitors who are involved with it is another entire discussion. I can only respond to one idea at a time. The idea that William Kristol is an unbiased, respected journalist who can be believed when he says that "Isreal does not control the USA". He is a propagandist for the group of foreign nationals who control, run and direct the USA government and it's current foreign policy.
-----

"That the hawks back in Washington are indeed mobilizing became clear on Monday when William Kristol, an influential neo-conservative who also chairs the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), faxed a statement titled "Toward Regime Change in North Korea" to reporters and various "opinion leaders" in the capital.

PNAC issues statements relatively infrequently, so its formal statements are carefully noted. PNAC boasts Vice President Dick Cheney, Pentagon chief Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Cheney's powerful chief of staff, I Lewis Libby, among a dozen other senior Bush national security officials, as signers of its 1997 charter. "

Hey Joe. Do the Palestinians control you? Just wondering, because you seem to make more anti-Israeli statements than Hezbollah.

Agreed. I'm waiting for Bronco to come post the pictures of his day at work yesterday so that we can raise the bar of this conversation.

yeah, good one. So Joe, why don't you prove that Pelestinians do NOT control you? And when you give any type of sources, we'll just say that "well, they obviously control that source too, so that doesn't count"...!

It's funny, when that show was on NBC, I watched an episode or two and couldn't get into it. Now that it's in syndication, I can't get enough of it...

And I've never seen that particular episode...

Think my fav is when Kramer gets the rooster and names it "Little Jerry Seinfeld"...

For me Kramer makes the show...

One of my favorite scenes is where George is in the hospital and Jerry is visiting him. George is upset and after some complaining says words to the effect of, "just kill me Jerry," and Jerry grabs a pillow and starts smothering him. Good stuff.

There hasn’t been a new episode made for half a decade and still Americans would rather discuss Seinfeld than geopolitics.

Is there unreleased material on that new Nirvana box?

I believe this final paragraph was accidentally truncated from the news article:

"As the frustrated would-be thieves retreated from the patio, diners heard them yelling 'Whoooop-woopwoopwoop,' closely followed by 'Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck.'"
