As you like, but let's remember that "The Coincidence Theorist's Guide to 9/11," the post that more than any other put Jeff and RI on the Web map (and which probably was what first attracted a goodly number of the current members to this place), did not play games with numbers or homonyms, but stuck to factual assertions of the kind allowable (at least, as rebuttable presumptions) in building an empirical, circumstantial case against the official story of 9/11 in a conventional academic setting, or even, potentially, in a court.

http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2 ... o-911.html

Given how often the political events with the greatest impact on discourse and the greatest consequences in law and policy are, in fact, stage-managed as covert ops or psyops, I lean prima facie to questioning anything that leaves a big media footprint. (You can find posts of mine before the election saying that events that push discourse away from right-wing blah blah about "Obama the Socialist Tyrant" and toward talk of unity and civility that favors Obama would not happen before the election, but were likely in 2011.)

However, in the end, there's no denying most single events happen without hidden stage management (although never just out of the blue, always in a developmental context). The Giffords shooting is no surprise after many months in which the omnipresent right-wing noise machine has blasted out incitements for macho-hero-loner-patriot-men to kill the traitorous liberals who are taking away the ultimate holies, Your Dollar and Your Gun. Giffords pointed out that she was already the frequent target of vandalism and threats, and obviously her office was worried about Loughner in particular given our little find about the Youtube subscription. Nothing about the circumstances of the incident itself arouses suspicion of stage management. (Where's his bag? Come on, do you want instant access to evidence pics from the cops? You're seriously going to compare this to the WTC black boxes?!) He stepped up to her, shot her in the head, emptied an extended clip from an automatic into the crowd, killing a young girl, and was then jumped and overpowered before he could reload. Sounds like something that would take less than a minute.

As for how Loughner may have come to be, that's a different matter.

.


I think people mean an esoteric coincidence guide. Because unlike 9/11, the "evidence/facts" are of more of a Lincoln/JFK sync type. And let's face it, life is stranger than fiction...these actions so hidden now, that rather mattering or not, these esoteric interpretations and coincidences may be all there is to go on. And that's not to take away from real mental health issues.

But I definitely find the symbolism rather striking.

I DO think the 9/11 coincidence guide needs a major major overhaul. I mean we now know that top al Qaeda and 9/11 operative Anwar Awlaki was MEETING with at the Pentagon a few months after the event.
The FBI's own FOIA released timeline shows that the hijackers had their credit cards paid for by secret benefactors, and some of these cards were still in use even after 9/11. We now know that the hijackers may have had accomplices INSIDE of the four airports, preplanting knives and guns on board. We know that the hijackers had men in their hotel rooms telling housekeepers to go away AS the attacks were happening.

We now know just how extensive the Saudi Government involvement in 9/11 was. We know more about the Ptech-al Qadi-Care Intl-Logan Furniture-al Kifah Refugee Center-Boston connection stretching back to WTC 1993 and the 80's Mujahadeen. We know more about Mujahid Minepta/Melvin Lattimore's connection to WTC 93, OKC 95 and 9/11. We know more about the Israeli art students involvement in the avant garde "WTC 2000 prank" and the fact they were living next to Hezbollah funding Infocom in Dallas and near one of the hijackers in Floria where the other DEA/Israeli spies were.
In fact we know a hell of a lot more about the Israel agent connection, the Hollywood Florida safehouses, the "white vans" driving around NYC and NJ on 9/11. The Sudan plot/Bush plot in Sarasota Florida the morning of 9/11. We know that some of the hijackers were at the same Madrid hotel as FBI Agent John O'neil in march 2001 for an anti terror conference. We know that one of the top Saudi officials was at the same hotel the night before 9/11 where some of the hijackers were...and that neighbors in Falls Church Virginia, Vienna Virginia and San Diego CA describing seeing fancy cars with Arab officials regularly visiting the hijackers.

We know the hijackers rented a house from the Sun Tabloid anthrax victims months before the anthrax attack first happened in florida.

I've spent years researching the event stretching back to the 80's, and sadly a lot of "9/11 Truth" doesn't seem to know about any of this, or at least makes no mention other than the physical anomaly stuff.

Secondly, and less informing, although I was aware that Loughener is 22 years of age, I hadn't realized he was born on 09/10/88. So while Christina Green was born into a low, dishonest decade (hat tip), Jared Loughener turned 13 the day before. Our post-9/11 world greeted him at 'manhood' rather than infancy.


Interesting. I've long always mentioned to friends how "1988" is my absolute favorite year(my one friend says I have an obsession with that year, ha)

Yes, I realize that, Nathan. I work in the stone building attached to the Millennium Hilton, and I've given its location a great deal of thought, again, due to the transformative nature of the monolith in Kubrick's film. I'm not saying that it can't be a coincidence that it overlooks the location of the most transformative event of the past 70 or so years. I am saying that if it is a coincidence, then it's quite a magnificent one.

To be fair, I actually do trust that some of the people who were present at the shooting did some rather heroic and selfless things. I don't care to know their names or anything about them, because I'm not interested in building a cult of personality around them. Hopefully they will serve to remind us that people are inherently good.

I shouldn't have any reason to disbelieve that people were taking bullets for loved ones and strangers alike and that little old ladies were wrestling magazines from the killer's hands. This was a public event and there were enough eyewitnesses present.

And even if none of this winds up being true, and everyone was acting like a coward and pushing children into the line of fire, then so be it. I can't judge a person's actions when there's an active shooter on a rampage.

I not arguing the facts of what happened. People do heroic things everyday. It's just most of them never become national heroes. That doesn't mean the M$M and the politicians won't try to make the most of the situation.

Just a short blurb about Ohama's Speech... When he's hot, he's hot. A very powerful speech with a very powerful message. But he's a complete Hypocrite, what, with Iraq and the build-up of forces in Afghanistan. Talk about empty rhetoric. If he believed a word of his own message, we wouldn't be fighting and we (they) would be conversing with al kaida. Yeah it was a great speech, but as corrupt of truth in action as is possible, I'm sorry to say.

I'm not surprised to hear that Obama gave a powerful speech.

The establishment is the ventriloquist, and Obama is the current dummy on its lap.

Luther you missed one.

Judge John McCarthy roll ruled on cases that helped send Clinton's handgun control law to the SCOTUS to lose.

He ruled against the law (the Brady law? inspired by Hinkley shooting Reagan?)

Now he has been shot by a handgun when perhaps if he had ruled against it JLL would never have got that gun. (Tho that is debatable. Whgat isn't is that he would have had to get it illegally because he had already apparently threatened someone, presumable Giffords. I thing its 92/ 8 of the Brady law (if thats what it was called) that would have applied.)

Some people might consider that a little ironic.

But I guess he really put his money where his mouth was on that one.

This is ultimately a struggle between liberal capitalism and fascism, in my estimation, and Obama is the committed capitalist.
The real issue is that there is extremely low likelihood that the speculations of the untrained, on a topic almost pathologically riddled by dynamic considerations and feedback effects, will offer anything new.

Bruce, thanks for that Arthur Silber piece. It's great to see someone put into words exactly that which I was feeling and thinking.

When I learned Obama was gonna give a speech at a nationally televised memorial for this thing, I just wanted to barf.

It's not a coincidence. It's quite literally intentional. It was intended to resemble the monolith and it was intended to be situated among the most powerful office blocks on earth. Let's just say the deck was stacked in favor of any "most transformative" events taking place in the neighborhood.

It would be hard to ascertain that. Roll couldn't have formally visited the event w/out it putting him into questionable territory re: federal statues on judges campaigning, so how would Loughner have known to find him at Gifford's event? Even if he'd known Roll'd be across the street, why start early and ensure he'd be caught?

I.e., is there an accomplice? For Loughner to have been after Roll instead of Giffords--and he clearly was after Giffords (that itself still doesn't rule out accomplices or handlers etc.)--he'd need one. Or a lot of dumb luck.

Nathan, way to take all the magic out of a perfectly beautiful synch, by making it even more synchie. Now I want to know more about this building, when it was conceived, when it was designed, when it was built and couple that with the timeline of Arthur C Clarke and Kubrick's conception, design and release of their respective hands in the 2001+ saga. You do realize were it not for some of the time and mind bending shit a lot of people give leeway to around here, it would just be you and maxtheknife sending invisible comments into the ether about prosaic explanations for what the rest of the world thinks is stupid right?

The '"syncromysticicity" or WTF you call them' happens to be one of the benefits of this place. I for one find any angle as to understanding evil in and of this existence well worth the time pondering. Everybody who has contributed to the various angles as to the "syncromysticicity" of anything, anytime and anywhere has my kudos and support. I think many people come here for this, as I for one, do. We do not come here to be berated for taking an unconventional, yet benign tact at understanding current or historical events.

That said. . .

So you're saying that the building was designed to look exactly like the monolith of 2001 and this was intentional? OK. Explain why this is. I am interested in why a building was built to look exactly like a movie tie-in which precipitates so many other anomalies in other facets of modern life. I once had an idea in the mid nineties to build a Vegas resort/casino that looked like a crashed Star Wars star destroyer. Is this kinda the same thing?

And to think, we have David Rockefeller and the BinLaden Construction Group(along with the port authority) to thank.

Given Loughner's obsession with Giffords and his conspiracy obsession with NASA(via threads on ATS), it seems like Giffords was the target...and he just said eff it, go out in a blaze of glory while he was at it. It's just in retrospect, he couldn't have known the deep amount of symbolism or coincidences with it all. I find more intentionality with the girl being there...but perhaps the judge really did just happen to stop by.
