Because when your theory already involves Aliens with psychic powers, Utopia being a true story and not a work of fiction, money being evil, and claims your own posts are "proof" and "demonstrations" that you are right, you might as well throw in Genies and Angels in support of your claim too...

Here's a FMOTL stundie on how the Federal Reserve owns everything:
http://www.henrymakow.com/they.html

Quote:
Most people believe that when they buy something that they are the real owner of it. However, when you understand the truth about maritime law, you will clearly see how this is nothing more than a fraud.

Historically, when people used gold or silver as actual currency, ownership of the object purchased transferred from the seller to the buyer.

If a chair was purchased for $10 and the buyer paid in $10 worth of gold or silver, it was an even exchange and thus the buyer completely owned the chair.

Today this is no longer true.

In 1913, the 16th amendment authorized the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank. The FED then created the "Federal Reserve Note" which is not a true currency at all.

Unknown to most, each U.S. dollar has a "lien of ownership" that follows it wherever it goes. This lien transfers ownership of anything purchased back to the institution that created it, i.e. the Federal Reserve Bank.

Article 1, section 8 of the U.S Constitution states that Congress alone has the right to "coin money".

However, The FED is a private foreign bank and the U.S. dollar is not United States money.

Ever since the "ratification" of the 16th amendment and the creation of the "Federal Reserve note" nothing that you purchase is truly yours.

Ownership of all items purchased ultimately reverts back to the "Federal Reserve Bank" or (FED) due to the "lien of ownership" or "Maritime Hypothecation" that is attached to every dollar created by the fed.
The funny thing is if you follow the link and read the subsequent comments from other conspiracy theorists even they think this either makes or sense or is completely useless from any practical perspective.

Wow, that reminds me of an old bit from comedian Steven Wright: "Have you seen my seashell collections? I keep it on the beaches of the world!"


The FED owns everything, they just store it all in other peoples' houses....

Actually what you see in the video footage is that the top part of the TTs collapse in to the lower floors before the lower floors start to disintegrate. So by the time the upper floors collapse, there is no power driver left to crush the rest of the building.

The Illuminati are destroying British pubs and beer:
http://www.henrymakow.com/the_war_on_pubs.html

Quote:
The Illuminati are destroying everything that binds us together. Another front in this war, the British government is taxing pubs out of business. England is losing

A British pub is much more than a place to get drunk. It is a meeting place, the focal point of the community. Everyone has a 'local'.

Pubs are the last remnants of community in atomized Britain.

However, due to the crippling effect of government taxation, they are falling like dominos.

Since the start of the financial crisis in 2008, 4500 pubs have closed down. We are currently losing 50 a week.

Many people can longer afford to drink in a pub and buy beer from supermarkets instead. The average cost of a pint of beer in a pub is £3 ($4.75); from a supermarket, it is £1 ($1.55.)

When I was last in England, I noticed the number of people in my local had declined dramatically. In my hometown of 25,000 people, there were about 15 pubs. Now some of them are boarded up, sad shells of their former selves.

The government has placed monstrous taxes on beer.

These tax increases widen the gap between pubs and supermarkets, because pubs have much higher overheads.

For every £3 pint sold, more than £1 goes into the government coffers!

The duty on beer in Britain is an outrageous 55 pence per pint! This is 8 times more than the beer duty in France (a measly 7p) and 11 times more than Germany (5p)!

The duty on beer is much higher, in relative terms, than spirits. Britain has the smallest gap between beer and spirits duty in Europe. This is a sign that beer is being specifically targeted.

Under the previous New Labour government (1997-2010) the duty on beer increased by 60%, but the duty on spirits only increased by 25%. A few years ago, a former aide to Jack Straw revealed that Labour's 'open door' immigration policy was designed to destroy British culture forever. Were the tax increases on beer intended to do the same?

Not to mention ignoring the obvious point, that 15 stories adds its mass to the below 15 stories. Now you have 30 stories which can only collapse the below 30, then 60, then 120, etc...

Yes. It was awfully nice of the Illuminati to allow this to be debated at length in the commons before they made it happen through normal political means. Anybody would think that the Binge Drinking debate would have been going on for a decade or more. They might also wonder if people were going to pubs less and buying cheaper supermarket drinks because of the double dip recession.

But no. It was the illuminati.

And the distinguishing feature of a Local is its locality. It is the pub you visit by virtue of limited choice in staggering distance of home, sometimes the only pub at your end of town or in your village. If you visited it "last time you were in England" it probably is no longer your Local.

Hmmm, I can't stand pubs and bars as well. I never knew that could be part of our wider evil schemes for world domination. Now destroying drive-in theaters was an obvious decision.

And, if he thinks paying $4.75 a pint is outrageous, he really should avoid drinking in Canadian pubs. That's about what it costs for a pint of the cheap stuff - when it's on special.

That's why I drink in the Mess, or at home - premium beer in the mess for $3/bottle, Guinness cans for $4, regular beer for $2.75 and pop for a $1/can.

I thought about mentioning this to him, but I figured it would blow his mind. Either that, or he'd come up with some other cowardly dodge that defies the known laws of physics. Twoofers are known to do that.

Here's a nice piece of disconnected thinking from ScootleRoyale at Debunking the Debunkers:

Quote:
We may have invested a lot of time into defending it, but don't worry, unlike debunkers, we don't let emotional investments and cognitive dissonance cloud our rational judgement!

Again, my big concern is what a refutation of Harrit et al will mean for AE911Truth and their movie. No amount of thermite debunking will convince me that the collapse explanations offered by NIST and Bazant are in any way consistent with the laws of physics, so I'll defend the 1700 individual A&Es to the death,
Move along folks, no emotional investment to be seen here.

Dave

I drink in the Abbey or the Anchor in Guisborough. They are both Sam Smiths Brewery pubs and the beer is £1.60 a pint. If Sams can sell their Old Brewery Bitter for that price why can't the others? It's a conspiracy of greed by the companies that own the leases of most of the pubs and tie the leaseholders to buying beer through them rather than direct from the brewery.

My dad was a Pub Landlord for 8 or 9 years when he retired from the Navy. He had the lease on a 'Free House' He had no tie to a 'Pub Co' or to a Brewery. He was paying half the price for Beer compared to Landlords who had leases through the Pub Leasing companies.

This is my first stundie nomination, and I think it's an excellent contender.

In trying to discredit Roberto's calculation of the number of people who can fit into a mass grave, SnakeTongue magically turns the unit of measurement "persons", in kg/person, into a variable that equals one while kg and cubic meters remain units of measurement. The point of this alchemy is to "prove" that Roberto's calculation results in the wrong unit.

The link to the full post is above, but here's the "money" part. Remember, he's talking about kg/person and trying to turn the unit "persons" into a variable called x.

Originally Posted by SnakeTongue View Post
Kg / m^3 is mass per volume.

Kg / x is mass per variable value.

So, the only way to transform the measurement in common units is assume that x value is just 1

I think all of us reading (or participating in) that thread were more than a little baffled by that one.

Because when it comes to objects in motion, the forces involved don't matter. Everything should just automatically follow the "path of least resistance".

Well buildings are a liquid after all.

It makes me wonder how people could ever die from bullet wounds. Wouldn't the bullet just follow the "path of least resistance" and jump off into empty space?

or how about this instead
since the bullet must follow PoT then once it breaks the skin it will avoid bone AND therefore a head shot is very unlikely to cause brain damage

This is part of the truther canon that has always mystified me. Do these people think that if I take a small rock, hold it above a big rock, and release it, that the small rock will go around the big rock instead of hitting it? What universe do these people live in?

Less than 5 minutes fishing on ATS secret and I come across this beauty. The thread is about the stones in the great pyramid being "man made" or something.

Quote:
We have no idea what "technologies" the Ancient Egyptians had. Technology doesn't have to mean the same as it does today. IMO they were far more advanced than we give them credit for. We can't even replicate their structures today with the tools and machines we have.
I have heard people say that egyptians couldn't have made the pyramids with the technology they had but never that modern man could not build the pyramids with the technology we have! I am fairly certain a trip to vegas will debunk this.
