Great title for a long term thread, so I am stealing it with this first example:
Comments
Wow. "these children are being tortured... murdered and eaten." The important question here is how are they cooked? I was hanging out with a couple of cannibals and one said, "I caught one of those black robed guys and he wasn't very tasty." "How did you cook him?" "I boiled him in a pot with some potatoes and vegetables." "Ah, that was your problem. He was a fry-er (friar)."

Quit asking so many questions. Forget the dead and eaten for now, we gotta save those still alive. If you would just sign the petition, the White House would get on it and the Marines forensics would figure it all out.

How can people eat pizza in a time like this - no compassion for victims?
by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 04/06/2019 - 11:19pm
Well if it's a traditional pizza it's probably ok. But then you'd have to only use the meat from Italian children.
by ocean-kat on Sun, 04/07/2019 - 12:21am
But Italy's down to <2 children per family - it's not like the old days when 1 or 2 wouldn't be missed - prosciutto in short supply.

Conspiracy theorists keep their Ginsburg death claims alive

It's so ridiculous. I found this picture of Ginsberg at work in her office. Alive and well.

That's not fair - I found an old picture of her and she's aged pretty well:

Last I heard she's on maternity leave - think she gets 3 months, though if like Europe, could get up to 2 years for 1st child.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 05/05/2019 - 5:40pm
this fits your theory: she has scheduled to shuffle off to Buffalo in August. Of course that could also all be part of the ruse.
Edit to add: whatever they are hiding, the Swedish minister of foreign affairs appears to be in on it.
by artappraiser on Sun, 05/05/2019 - 7:11pm
That's it - they're deciding where to extradite Assange first, Sweden or US.

Meanwhile under the White House (which is not real but a hologram for Area 51) there are Japanese dogs, cats and baboons cooking rice....

American Chronicles: What’s New About Conspiracy Theories?
Outsiders have always had a weakness for paranoid fantasies. Now our leaders are conspiracists, too.
By Elizabeth Kolbert @ NewYorker.com, April 15
the piece continues at length including reviews and summaries of several other books on topic.

This is actually a very interesting piece not just on an inspirational white supremacy wingnut conspiracy, but also the commonalities of "magical thinking" between recent anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim nut cases:
by artappraiser on Wed, 05/15/2019 - 1:52pm
Not sure what makes this a "wingnut conspiracy theory" - US liberals have been touting that magical moment when minorities replace obsolete white folk for 20 something years now, curiously equating "diverse" with "overwhelmingly Mexican", though that's extended to "plus Central American" the last few years. Never has been quite plain where blacks will come out in this equation, though Asians have largely fit in as "acceptable, but too smart", probably requiring some adjustment of school admissions. White women have a bit of an edge over white men, but there's a fair bit of "white bitches know what's going on and enable white men", kind of a woozy hugely extrapolated "Hillary dissed Bill's sluts" reasoning, but after all, we're talking conspiracy and unhinged thought.
So oops, white peeps didn't just roll into their graves/meander off into space/hand over the keys, and as the movie line goes, "I'm still here!" though when you try to kill a poltergeist and fail, things turn really ugly.
(white pipple also wonder about the logic that darker skinned immigrants will help America grow based on the skills they developed in Haiti, Venezuela, yes Somalia and other famed "shithole countries" if let in in large enough quantities. For those of us with some math and science training, "saturation", "diminishing returns", "overload" or the common phrase "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" all come to mind. Never ever ever will you hear someone refer to "maximum carrying capacity" even as we ask white pipple to have fewer kids (which in case anyone's oblivious to it, we started several decades ago, leading to collapsing European population and a greatly diminishing US white population, while other societies watch the slow turn of the still growing bubble they caused 20 years ago (and parts of Africa still pumping it up), but I'm sure we can go kill ourselves if the pace isn't satisfactory).
Replacement? Yeah, it's happening. Fortunately some of the replacements are taking on the culture that produces and innovates.

*how come some rush to label God as she, but I've never seen a big hurry to make Satan a woman. Ok, Beelzebub doesn't sound very feminine in any language, but just sayin'...

I was raised in the church. Not fundamentalism, just main stream Luthern, but I know the bible. I studied it Sunday school and Confirmation classes and on my own I read the whole thing a few times. If I still believed in that bullshit I could easily make a very good case that Falwell, Pat Robertson, Trump, most of the leaders of the Christian movement are all tools of the anti-Christ. Just start with the end times prophecy Matthew 24:24.
For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones.
What I always find so amusing is when liberals choose a quote from the bible, even atheist liberals like me, it's almost always Matthew 25:31-46. When conservative Christians choose to quote is usually something from Leviticus. Something from the old testament instead of from the New Testament.
by ocean-kat on Fri, 08/09/2019 - 4:05pm
Something from the old testament instead of from the New Testament.
As in: not Christ-ian. Reading that shit too, you Lutherans were heretics, after all. None of your business looking at those old books without expert interpretation, especially as a kid, that's for priest and scholars. Jesus is the one you are sposed to be listening to.
by artappraiser on Fri, 08/09/2019 - 8:51pm
Yeah, but the purty durty pieces are all in the O.T.
by PeraclesPlease on Fri, 08/09/2019 - 9:21pm
The conservative Christians justify their obsession with the Old Testament law and then, just the few Old Testament laws they picked to enforce, with one quote from the New Testament.
17“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

At least not Henry Lee

Or maybe equivalent? Baden office "extremely sloppy":
https://www.nytimes.com/1982/06/17/nyregion/morgenthau-testifies-in-tria...
https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/who-dr-michael-...
And then for some asphyxiation-related testimony:
https://vtdigger.org/2016/09/25/medical-examiner-recants-testimony-alleg...
And during the Derek Medina trial, Baden asserted that the wife victim was standing (presumably hitting her husband?) while being shot, whereas the prosecution had prevented graphic reconstruction showing the wife cowering/kneeling when her husband began shooting after which he posted photos of her rivited body to Facebook. Medina was convicted & life sentence upheld. Sorry, Michael.
I'm so sure some professional will put this Epstein confusion to rest.
