Thanks for Guggenheim link / (1010 words) further musings

[rich]

thanks, friend

note: the doctor in rosemary's baby was in on it in the movie, too

fwiw, i think all angles should be investigated but i just have gut feeling
that where many want to see conspiracy, I detect high levels of
incompetence. 'merica loves its government that way. we are at the end
game, the cake is being taken out of the oven by one of MConnell's trolls,
pbly slaves smuggled over from his wife's shipping family concerns in
China. lots of people taking pieces of that pie and we are here now dealing
with another massive corkscrew.

has the 26 second zapruder now building blue prints and ghostly video
footage of wtc7? i doubt we'll have that bright eyes moment, where Dr Zaius
says 'you may not like what you find there' in that forbidden zone (great
name by the way). we have no talking doll, mate nor a smoking gun (cute,
eh?), just engineers bickering away and who am I, where science is a long
distance love affair to argue with the fauci's of this world

i believe the Saudis are still being sued, no? so, there's that. again, i
see no conspiracy there either, just the crown princes losing track of some
of the elements they put in play all those years ago to ward off
dissatisfaction with their rule internally. well, MIB as i call him is
their equivalent of their end game. funny, how all this started with a
family from Yemen, only to see the MIBs come full circle, draining
themselves and thousands of others over what is basically rubble with lots
of dead children (brought to you indirectly by yrs truly mr american and mr
brit engineers, you know those sexy bombs we're so good at giving birth to)

u should check out Purdue's promo materials, including rap, yes rap. it'll
make yr day, man
