• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How Do You Explain This?

The human mind excells at pattern detection - even if there are no patterns to detect.

Just think about it: what conspiracy would basically tell people about their plans by putting clues into films? Wouldn't it make MUCH more sense NOT to advertise any of this?

If I were a conspirator running things from behind the scenes, I'd definitely make sure that no one notices me, rather than inserting suggestive imagery everywhere and thus drawing attention to myself.

You make a good point. Maybe they want to mock people. Sinister like that.

norswede, my honest answer is that I blame such youtube videos on people who have leanings towards paranoid personality disorder.

As Jane said, the human mind excels at pattern detection, and will see patterns even when there aren't any real causal links between elements of the pattern. The paranoid person tends to have such a strong need to reject ambiguity and to find order in what they see (most likely due to fear of hidden dangers and a desire for self-protection), that there is a risk that they will lower their standards for what counts as evidence of causality.

I've known paranoid people, and some of them are dear in my life, so I have experience with this personality trait.


eudaimonia,

Mark

You do realize you just described satan's own basic strategy, right?

Anyway, I very recently encountered my first "twoofer." I'm not scared of anything on 2 legs and very little on 4, but this concept was a frightening experience for me. I have to think anyone buying into the idea our Gov't staged the whole thing has no idea how involved the infrastructure beneath the WTC was. I mean it's one thing to say the subway system connecting NYC used that location as it's hub, but to anyone that's both been there and used the full geographical extent of it? :doh:

If you really want to believe it was a conspiracy, it makes infinitely more sense that the plane that went down in a field, inspiring Neil Young's "Let's Roll," and even the one that crashed into the Pentagon, would've been the extent of it. That would've been enough to accomplish the sinister purposes behind the conspiracy, with NO NEED to topple the WTC.

If one wants to look for patterns, consider AQ's stated objectives, and compare those to the repeated attacks on WTC. They line up perfectly, both as a practical matter and for the symbolism and psychological impact.

The majority of the video was just shots of the Eye of Providence which stretches back to Ancient Egypt. Eye of Providence
The same symbol also appears on the Serbian constitution of 1835. Clearly the Serbs are in on it. The symbol also appears on the seal of the University of Chile. Don't hire graduates from Santiago!

And, did the person who put together this video not even realize the irony in the fact that half the Simpsons episode screenshots are based on the episode satirizing freemasonry and secret societies? Homer The Great

If anyone has an hour and a half to spare, I'd recommend watching this

Reflections And Warnings - An Interview With Aaron Russo {Full Film} - YouTube
Just watched it.
Much may have been agreeable but not fully convinced 9/11 was an inside job yet.
As for appealing for people to react, there are many ways to "drug" people into a kind passivism. Back in the days of Rome, one way was entertainment, Collusium and such, sport. Another would be putting the spotlight on something small and trivial and making it into something enormous, just to draw peoples attention away from what is really going on.
