A new reader
instant messaged me the other day about the last entry
(USE THE DAMN MESSAGE BOARDS ALREADY - lol) and said I
had a real "common sense" approach to stuff. I thought
about that for awhile. Does that imply that others
don't? Everyone thinks they have common sense, so why
do their opinions not illicit that response from
others?
So for the next
several days I just kind've "watched" how my head
worked. Every story that came through my eyes I not
only read as "Adam" but I stepped out of myself and
watched how I processed everything (I know guys, I'm
fuckin strange). I kind of found the trick I was
using, more than I thought I did, and figured - I need
to say something about this. Because if EVERYONE did
this, I swear to you the world would be a better
place.
It's simply this:
I break everything down into relatable portions. If
the US is making the case to the UN against Iraq for
not complying with inspectors as agreed upon in their
sanctions, I picture a group of businesses discussing
how to deal with a supplier that isn't holding up
their end of the bargain. Or even smaller, a group of
friends all talking about the "one guy" who keeps
fucking up their writing group. When you do this type
of "down-sizing" it's fairly easy to see things that
go against nature. For example…
If all the Chicken
Restaurants got together in their, uhm chicken support
group, and said their macaroni supplier kept ignoring
their contract…and Boston Market stands up and
says "WE HAVE TO TAKE OVER THE SUPPLIER! You all
behind me?!?!"… it would seem odd. Others in the
support group may say: "Woah dude, maybe we just cut
off our relationship…" See, on that level - it's
easy to see problems, or the shades of grey in our
quest for right and wrong.
Or take Katrina
for example. Instead of all the red tape and
bureaucracy of who to blame… put it on a
relatable level. The teacher watching the kids on the
playground allows them to swing from a rope they put
in a tree and they all get seriously injured. LOL.
Sorry, that's not funny. Heh. Neighbors see this
(they'll be say, the MEDIA in this scenario) and they
call 9-11. The authorities take in the information:
"Yes, yes - dying kids…broken arms…blood,
right - gotcha." Then they take about 4 days to come
to the playground. When asked "WHAT THE FUCK, WE
CALLED YOU ON MONDAY?!?!" they reply with: "Dude, what
was this teacher THINKING!??! Oh my GOD - how can you
let kids play with a rope!?!?". Ahem.
Now granted, I was
certainly throwing a bit of my bias in those two
stories - LOL - but the exercise allows you to really
break things down and get to the truth of the matter.
It's a good way to get through BULLSHIT. Taking the
Boston Market example, it just doesn't all "add-up".
There seems to be a problem with "motive" in that
scenario. So…take it further,: the people in the
chicken support group may question Boston Market on
their motives. Boston Market could say, hmm -
something along these lines: "Macaroni Supplier is
trying to poison our customers." or "Macaroni Supplier
actually WANTS us to take them over, because they're
run so poorly right now". Now, if true…this would
be justifiable reasons to believe Boston Market. These
are serious, serious claims…far worse than just
breaking a contract. However, the proof submitted
doesn't convince the group. Boston Market doesn't care
- takes them over anyway. Hey, that's their right -
but what if they find no poison? What if most of the
people at the Macaroni Supplier scream "WE DON'T WANT
YOUR HELP." Then what? Well, ask me in a couple
years.
;-)
But the point is,
had you done this type of exercise in…say 2002?
Or 2003? You would not be surprised at what's
happening in Iraq. It all makes sense. And it also
would make sense that there were ulterior motives to
going into Iraq. Because, on a "common sense" level,
it doesn't make any sense. It just doesn't. Weapons of
Mass Destruction isn't a reason, because several
countries have them, and we ain't invading them. Ties
to Al Qaeda and terrorism make no sense because there
was no terrorism in Iraq before we got there and there
certainly was no proof that Saddam was in bed with Al
Qaeda. None. (although Marty swears Saddam paid Osama
to attack us (sigh)). So there HAS to be some other
reason. What that is… is anyone's guess - though
there are plenty of good theories out
there.
So that's why it
isn't really hard to draw the conclusion that Dick
Cheney was probably a bit drunk when he shot his
friend IN THE FUCKING FACE. LOL. Why? Because you can
easily put it on a relatable level. Use common sense.
For example, you shoot an elderly friend IN THE
FUCKING FACE, where you going next? To Disneyworld?
Nope. To dinner for some cocktails? Nope. You're at
his side making goddamn sure he pulls through. Now you
are the Vice President, so you probably aren't hangin'
out in the waiting room of the normal public hospital,
but rest assured - you're there somehow. At least for
the next couple of hours. You find a way. You're the
goddamn president, I bet some strings can be pulled.
So when he avoids talking to the police and ends up
going to dinner to have some cocktails it should
"raise your eyebrow" a bit. What could possibly be the
motivation for that? It's common sense. He was trying
to cover something up. Of course there is no way to
prove this (good criminals know that), but it's a
pretty reasonable conclusion as his actions are SOOO
far removed from anything you or I would have
done.
Try it. Take the
labels off of your head for a moment. Really. I know
you've said you were a republican or democrat your
whole life, but really just put things on that level.
For that reason, going into Afghanistan…that made
sense. A whooooooole lotta sense. I personally went a
bit deeper however and thought the "type" of war we
waged did not make sense. This was a war against the
Taliban, a group of people, not the whole country or
even the whole government. I thought it would be more
strategic, more covert…but either way - I'm not a
military mind, and the action to TAKE action made
"common sense". Iraq however should have slapped
everyone across the face with a massive: "HUH?".
Take the Dubai
Ports deal. At first, second and third glance, it
makes no sense. Why on earth would we allow a deal go
through to a country and a business that we have PROOF
funneled money to 9/11 terrorists? In our OWN 9/11
Commission Report no less! It makes no sense. And when
something makes no sense at all, you have to look for
other motives. Now, be open to someone else's
explanation. Don't just assume your ulterior motives
are right if perhaps someone comes up with a reason
that DOES make sense. But in this case, I sure as hell
haven't heard one. So there has to be some other
motive. For Bush to come out and be FOR this, means
there's something else going on. It just does. It's
not a liberal spin, it's common, fucking, sense. We're
not getting the whole story. It should rub you the
wrong way. Not because you're an "anti-arab" racist,
but because it makes no sense for George "Mr.
Anti-terrorist" Bush to all the sudden have no problem
doing business with the country.
To end this I
thought I'd bring up something that's bugged me for
close to 5 years now. Cell phones don't work on
airplanes (that are in the air). They don't. Not at
all. Try it. Be a rebel and have your cell phone
turned on during a take-off and watch how quickly
those little bars fall off to nothing. Within about
5-7 minutes you will see this:
I took this
picture last September, no more than 10 minutes after
takeoff. And at the cruising altitude? Forget it. In
fact this was such common knowledge before 9/11 that
it was actually part of a "Mistakes in Movies" show on
VH1. They brought up how Harrison Ford in the movie
"Air Force One" used a passenger's cell phone that he
found in their baggage to make contact with the White
House - and the fact that cell phones don't work on
airplanes. Only satellite phones. Common knowledge.
However, as many of you know - according to the
government - and several family members - there were a
handful of cell phone calls made from the passengers
to their family. It was integral to why they knew the
fate of that plane and chose to "take it down". In
fact one guy even called the Verizon Operator with his
Verizon phone, there's records of this. Now, were
these the planes that were low-level going into the
towers? Nope. This was the Shanksville plane that was
at cruising altitude. Several passengers made these
calls and the family members let them know about the
NYC planes, which led to them confronting the
terrorists and "taking it down". We all know the
story. So. What, the, fuck. There's really no wiggle
room here. It's already on a relatable level, so no
"downsizing" is necessary. Turn on your cell phone
while cruising in an airplane, and you'll see the same
thing. So common sense tells you that the story we got
about that plane…is a complete
fabrication.
The problem with
accepting that? It would take such a massive
conspiracy to "fake" that because the family members
corroborate the story…but CELL PHONES DON'T WORK
ON PLANES. So seriously: what, the, fuck. I personally
hate conspiracy theories. They're always such a bunch
of shit. It's a way for the ignorant to take a bunch
of loose facts, and make them add up to something
crazy and blame it on "the man". They quite often defy
common sense even if at face value they seem feasible.
They play on the fact that the reader/viewer already
assumes a conspiracy and also that the reader/viewer
isn't say a demolition expert or crash
investigator…but this one is tough. There's no
justifiable answer. I mean, the other 9/11
conspiracies have reasonable doubt all over them. No
one has ever flown a 757 into a building and seen how
it would hold up. Yeah, so fire can't melt steel, but
the weight of an airplane sitting INSIDE a building?
Uhm, not too much of a stretch to think a floor could
buckle. And when one floor buckles and the plane falls
onto the next? Again, isn't unreasonable to think it
would fall. The conspiracy theories fail to mention
the ol' weight of the plane when talking about the
towers falling. And the "no plane at the pentagon"
theory? If you go to the conspiracy sites, you see
nothing but this ONE hole conveniently leaving out the
amount of damage that was done to the whole building,
as you can see here if you search the net a bit
harder:
From that picture,
it's clear that the damage spreads pretty wide. Since
I'm not an expert on plane crashes, I guess I
couldn't prove it, but it certainly isn't a
stretch to believe a plane hit it. And also the
alternate theories hold no weight because they
conveniently avoid common sense. Who wouldn't have
seen a fucking missile? How many people would have to
lie about seeing THAT? Something like 100 witnesses
saw a plane. And most said they SAW the AA on the
craft… so where's your motive? It's a stretch.
It's a conspiracy theory.
However,
the cell phone thing? Uhm, no. Something
is wrong and it's not a stretch to make
that conclusion. An internet movie, "Loose
Change" tackles this issue and comes up
with the conclusion that the voices were
"faked" to corroborate this HUGE
conspiracy. At this point, because I
fucking KNOW cell phones don't work in the
air, I have no choice but to listen to the
outrageous
claim
made by this movie.
I don't know what
really happened, I just know cell phones don't work in
the air. (The movie is fun to watch though. It really
overloads you with "fact" after "fact". This is our
JFK for sure, but it's far more complicated than that
ever was)
And of course the
Bush Administration's handling of things since 9/11,
really makes you question EVERYTHING they ever say. I
mean, if you can't come clean about shooting your
friend IN THE FUCKING FACE (man I love yelling that)
it becomes exponentially harder to believe the really
big shit. There'so many obvious lies surrounding this
government right now and it in turn throws out the
credibility of everything. I mean, why not release the
video tapes from the hotel and gas station near the
pentagon that shows the pentagon plane? You came and
took it…so what's it show? That sure would help
wouldn't it…
And the final
problem with this, is that the conspiracy theories
actually help explain a lot of the "what the fucks"
about this administration. 9/11 allowed EVERYTHING to
happen with sweeping speed unmatched in the history of
our country. It was their meal ticket to do anything
they wanted. The patriot acts, the wire-tapping, the
invasions…with almost zero questions asked
(because Democrats by nature are the biggest pussies
on the planet). It worked so beautifully for this
administration that even if there were ZERO
discrepencies with the 9/11, intellectually you're
just FORCED to second-guess how it all played out.
Second guess if just maybe they knew what was
happening ahead of time….
Well if the
protest videos didn't do it, this entry surely will.
Congratulate me on my very own FBI file. The black
helicopters will soon follow.
