Well, good golly gosh, it's 'that' time of the month again, and so time for the rules and whatnot.

I'm moving around a bit this month, just so you know. Got to go to Sydney until mid-October ("What was that mum? 'Lectures'? Never heard of 'em!"), and while I'll have the interwebs I probably won't be on as often. I'll still be around though, so you'd better all adhere to dem rules...

Nominations from the JREF forums are allowing, but will not be as highly regarded as nominations from other sources, be they on or off the interwebs. The finalists will contain a maximum of 25% nominations from the JREF forums; 75-100% must be from nominations external to the JREF forums.
Nominations should always be accompanied by a link or a screenshot, to confirm that the quote exists and has not been taken out of context. (It would be wise to always have a backup screenshot, as truth movement forums are well known for deleting entire threads.)
For a nomination to be eligible, it must have a real and obvious link to conspiracy theories, but not exclusively 9/11 conspiracy theories.
Stundie nominations should 'stand alone'. Do not over-embellish introductions, but do provide comments. Do not use any blatant ad hominem attacks.
Please post the nomination under the real screenname of the nominee, and not under a slightly altered name (e.g. Killclown, Roxpup, Do-over).
The best Stundie nominations are short and sweet. As a guideline, no more than 6 lines should be included from the post. If you are giving context, highlight the actual nomination.
Entire videos or audio clips are not eligible for nomination. Specific statements or claims from videos or audio clips are eligible for nomination.
No long rants. Cut them down to the funniest bit.
No speeling mistikes or tie-pose. Everybody makes a mistake once in a while!

Remember that the truther mantra applies here - if you aren't sure about something, "Ask questions, demand answers."

So get cracking with those nominations, and say 'Hi!' to your dad from me this Sunday!

OldSchool, for having the "higest" literacy in his class.

Took an entrance exam yesterday for a CSS "Computer Systems Specialist" at a private Technical College. On the entrance exam I recieved 90 out of 100 on every test. My literacy score was the higest with 99 out of 100. The written part of the test I recieved the highest possible grade 5 out of 5. So when push comes to shove and i'm in an acedemic setting the scores speak for themselves.

Any intelligence should have to report to a secret court. A secret court in which the judge is voted into his position. This judges position should be treated the same as a presidential election. All secret agencies should have to report to this court full disclosure to ensure our agencies are operating within Federal and International Law.

All of America's top 500 corporations are operated by the elite. Which is why you find so many of their fancy stupid NWO symbols in their logos and such. The council of 500, which we know as the Fortune 500 companies, are staffed by the council of 33, which in turn is ruled by the top Mason in the World, Prince Phillip, the husband of the Queen.

bowtononebutone just doesn´t understand why the Naudet-brothers made a documentary about firefighters doing staff and whatever - just on the day of 911. Of course this can`t be coincidence.

What logical purpose was there to filming a fire crew, doing manhole/grating repair(or whatever in the world it was they were doing), on that particular day, at that particular time, at that particular location?

To have something to applaud themselves over? To have a record of witness to their first strike?

Are the Naudet brothers complicit? Are they part of it all?Hmmm...

Here's more comedy from A-Train's parents basement.

Here's what really happened: the hijackers-- the ones who took out the pilots-- looked and dressed like you and me. They may have had pilot credentials. They gained the trust of the pilots, then quickly took them out with shots to the head from a silencer-equipped gun. On UAL93, the hijacker was probably already in the jump seat when the warning was broadcast to bar the door.

Yeah, I have an engineering professor who works for FEMA. Needless to say I'm very cautious to say anything especially when he brought up the towers last week in class and how the planes destroyed the fireproofing of the steel. It's a materials class and he is teaching it, so I can't really start like trying to defend anything without bringing up white flashes and explosives.

This one is probably a bit too long for a Stundie, but it boggles my mind:

Here's the interesting thing about Coincidences and Anomalies: If you're a good Coincidence and Anomaly Theorist (CAT) you never have to admit anything.

I say 2 + 2 = 4.

CAT says no it isn't.

I take two balls and put them on the table. Then I take two more balls and put them on the table. Then I count the balls. 1, 2, 3, 4. Here's my proof, I say: 2 + 2 = 4.

CAT says no it isn't.

But I just laid it out on the table, says I. That's the proof.

CAT says no that's just a coincidence.

So I do it again. Get the same answer. Is that a coincidence too? I ask.

CAT says no that's an anomaly.

Turns out you can pile up as many coincidences as you like and CAT says that's just an anomaly. Or you can pile up a bunch of anomalies and CAT says that's just a coincidence.http://winterpatriot.blogspot.com/2007/09/cat-101-introduction-to-conspiracy-and.html

Wow, he just goes downhill from there. Here are some of the "coincidences" that he complains about:

Who scheduled all the wargames that took the Air Force away from the Eastern Seaboard that day? Did Osama bin Laden schedule the wargames?

118 first responders (fire and medical personnel) who were at Ground Zero on the mor[n]ing of 9/11, reported seeing or hearing bombs or explosions in the bui[ld]ings before they crumbled. Why is that? Is this a conspiracy o[f] eyewitnesses?

Why did Bush and Cheney insist on testifying together, and not under oath, and why did they insist that no notes of their testimony could be kept? If they weren't trying to hide anything, why would they act like they were trying to hide something?



They aren't even coincidences, at least as I uderstand the term. And of course, he seems to think that disagreeing with his interpretation of any of the above is just exactly like arguing that 2+2 doesn't equal 4.....

No but if Billdave 2 tells me this guy and his friend's names, where he and his friends resides, his connections to other murders, the type of weapon he was going to use, that he had been training with the weapon of choice, how he was going to get to his target, his potential targets, that he had been under surveillance for some time, and people from around the globe were sharing similar information with me, and that this person was going to attack very soon, you darn well bet I'm going to be proactive.

0800 - Wake up! It's a beautiful day!
0830 - Showered and dressed, time for breakfast!
0900 - Study...study study study study...
1030 - Leave house for a 20min walk to the train station.
1100 - Navigate the public transport system of a strange city. What a wonderful world we live in!
1300 - Arrive early at rehearsals. In spare time, study.
1400 - Rehearsals. So much singing! Study in the breaks!
2100 - Finish rehearsals. Pack up study gear, head to train station!
2300 - Arrive at house. Eat dinner - boy it's late! Study...
0000 - JREF forums. If there's time. Then sleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

In other words, I'm busy at the moment. Very busy. And this pattern will continue until the opera closes in October (though I may have more spare time once the show is on).

I will get around to it, but it will be very late. Alternately, if somebody would like to volunteer for the task, just PM me and we can have a guest presenter for Teh Stundies in September!

Another brilliant explanation why AA77 couldn't have hit the Pentagon.



http://z10.invisionfree.com/Loose_Change_Forum/index.php?showtopic=15305

I can just see him testing his "hypothesis".

Hypothesis: The building was made of material denser than the airplane. So when airplane hits building it should bounce off.

Step 1) Make paper airplane.

Step 2) Throw at wall in bedroom in mom's house. Make sure to throw really hard because AA77 was going pretty fast.

Result: paper airplane bounced off wall without making a mark in the wall. Therefore AA77 should have bounced off the Pentagon.

I went to Ground Zero on 9/11 this year, and I had a great time, met tons of great people, and felt that we made a great presence overall.

The only bad thing was there was this guy with a huge sign there that said "USA DID 911". I thought this was a terrible representation of what we all stand for, and felt that he was there to make us look bad.

If that guy goes on these forums and didn't mean to misrepresent us, i'm sorry, but i don't feel that having a sign that says "USA DID 911" is a good way to introduce people to what happened on 9/11 and will only furthur instigate violence and anger among the people in NYC.

This isn't actually a Stundie nomination as it doesn't quite fit within the guidelines, but I'm posting it here because of the sheer audacity, delusion, and unintended irony of Do-Over Dylan's response.

In this LCF thread about Nico Haupt:


Look, I've spoken with Nico many times. No one disputes that he's done really good research on 9/11. But that doesn't make him immune to critique of an absolutely ridiculous theory that does more harm than good.


Or the fact that accuses numerous members of the 9/11 truth movement of being either 1) government agents, 2) actors, or 3) complicit in the murder of 3,000 people.

The man needs to go. If I stooped to such a ridiculous low I'd hope people would call me on it.


So, according to Dylan Avery, it is okay for him and other members of the TruthTM movement to accuse thousands of innocent people of being "either 1) government agents, 2) actors, or 3) complicit in the murders of 3,000 people," but it's not okay to accuse members of the TruthTM movement of any of those things.

As for Dylan stooping to such a ridiculous low, he has repeatedly sunk far, far lower than that ("Boxcutters, hahahahahaha!!"; Accusing Bernard Brown of being "deeply involved in it" and "sending his son off to die" while he went and played golf; "Flight 11 and Flight 77 didn't exist"; Mark Bingham's mother is a liar; "The cell phone calls were fake, no question about it." etc., etc., etc.) and he hates that people have called him on it.

If Dylan were to apply his own standards to himself, it seems that he "needs to go" too.

Steps cannot be missed out or bypassed, or rushed. The people at the top work in centuries.

Chapter 12: Absent a Catalyzing Event

Scarlett O'America watched Sam Patriot's broad shoulders heave as he steered the plow through the dark, rich soil. She had been watching him for some time, but he hadn't noticed, as he was deeply embroiled in the productive, wholesome labor of the land. She wanted to run to him, to throw her arms around his muscular frame and caress his full-bodied beard.

Her heart skipped a beat; he was walking towards her. She looked down and remembered that she had been sent to bring him a pitcher of water ten minutes ago. As Sam walked up to Scarlett, she took a quick breath and held the pitcher of water up a bit, beckoning him to come and slake his thirst with the cool, crisp water.

"Projects like the Joint Strike Fighter and Future Combat System are necessary for the American military to maintain its combat advantage in the years to come," she heard his deep, rich voice but could scarcely believe he was actually speaking to her.

As Sam took the water and drank, Scarlett found her voice and replied, "But, absent a catalyzing event, the process of change is likely to be a slow one."

Sam smiled at her; a knowing, friendly smile, and his voice rolled over Scarlett again, "But with proper planning and resource allocation, the future effectiveness of the American military can be ensured."

Scarlett felt faint. "Take me," she whispered, and she ripped open her dress.

OH NO!!! They're going to bombard us with SO MANY neutrinos that it's going to ACTUALLY become dangerous.

I really wish I was just joking about that, but it's true.

There's a site called fanfiction.net that hosts a ton of fanfic, which is always good for a laugh. While they recently cleaned it up somewhat, they used to allow pretty much anything on, albeit with a rating system to filter content. Used to be that searching the Pokemon section for anything rated "NC-17" resulted in far too many hits.

Now, I don't know how many people were/are reading that crap as a serious venture, but there was enough interest in the subject for several people to devote large chunks of their time to writing it.

Sometimes I hate the internet, but it's mostly because it shows me that people can be real freaks. :)

To me, Rugrats porn is worse than Pokemon porn (they are goddamn toddlers?! Are you people effing insane?!), but this is kind of like a contest of evil between Hitler and Super Hitler... they're not technically the same, but there's really no distinction on any kind of practical level.

Dick Clark's Rocking WTC7 Countdown

Dude, there was a huge crowd of people chanting the WTC 7 countdown. With all those witnesses, what would be the point of constantly repeating the obvious.

The next thing you know Prison Planet will be calling JK Rowling a "mainstream journalist".

From the Seattle alt-weekly "The Stranger" (famous for being the point of origin of Dan Savage's weekly sex column), in an article (http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=309650) that concludes the twoofers are valuable because they question the Evil Bush Administration or something:

In many ways, Truthers represent a step forward, in part because of the high value they place on reason—nothing to sneeze at in a religious age.

Bell
14th September 2007, 02:32 PM
I think they confuse reason with reason. The troofers reason is "9/11 was an inside job so the evil gubmint/j00s/NWO could take over the world". And indeed, they place high value on that.

8bitagent on alien propaganda, hitler, crop circles, nwo deception and child sacrifices.

While it's true everyone from Henry Kissinger to Gorbachev to General Macarthur to Reagan himself spoke of how if there was an "alien threat", people would have to come together under a one world government...leading people to think someday the nwo could stage a manufactured "alien" threat as the ultimate false flag....

.......

I dont believe that aliens are
at all intergalactic "aliens", nor government black budget projects. The phenomenon is too widespread, and too wild for that.
No, I believe theres a much darker and troubling explanation.
Why do so many crop circles are of very occult symbolism?

One that shows WHY elites like Adolf Hitler had a keen interest in UFOs, and believed that he was being controlled by an extraterrestrial, not unlike Crowley.
....

Now I am no Christian, but this fits the pattern of exactly what the global elites behind 9/11, child sacrifices, globalization, war, genocide, etc are into.
It's all about deception, trickery, deceit, and leading people down the path of false religions and false promises.

No. Your own nomination, in and of itself, would be a contradiction of true Stundieism. You could not nominate yourself. That might be sufficient. But as soon as you nominate yourself, recognizing the insanity, then how can we believe you are insane?

The pancake theory is at least equally justifiable to controlled demolition.

There is so far no official explanation of what caused the collapse of WTC 7 so there isn't even a competing theory with CD.

These two statements show what an exercise in futility it is to have a rational debate with the truth crowd. To quote Kelly Bundy, "The mind wobbles."

I Was Thinking This Morning (early) That Dylan, Could be a U.S. President when 35y.o

Snippet:

I had to wake up real early this morning and was thinking about the weeks events and something crossed my mind : It was the topic about dylan not wanting to "Lead" in the 911 or related subject of 911, but it was said, (Idon't know who or where I heard this will have to think for a while), that he wanted to be a Director of films or something like that.
And I more or less said to myself, I bet he might or could be president some day if he wished, along with his other friends on the loose change crew.

I know I would trust him to be our President.

Who else seconds the motion, here, here.

Hey I'm not joking.
I think he could hands down, all jokes aside. Really.

even earlier if the law was changed to be President under 35.
The law could be changed.

yeah maybe like 5 seconds more than freefall, YOU WOULD EXPECT ALOT MORE THAN THAT IF YOU DROPPED 2 CARS ON TOP 8 OTHER CARS THEY WOULD ALL JUST VANISH INTO DUST IN 10-15 SECONDS RIGHT! LOL
