#4741 Re: The Garden » Interesting Read on Hillary... » 916 weeks ago
1. She wants to close GITMO and move the combatants to the USA where they would have access to our legal system.
2. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of suspected Al Qaeda phone calls to/from the USA.
3. She wants to grant constitutional rights to enemy combatants captured on the battlefield.
4. She wants to eliminate the monitoring of money transfers between suspected Al Qaeda cells and supporters in the USA.
5. She wants to eliminate the type of interrogation tactics used by the military & CIA where coercion might be used when questioning known terrorists even though such tactics might save American lives. One cannot think of a single bill Hillary has introduced or a single comment she has made that would tend to strengthen our country in the War on Terror. But, one can think of a lot of comments she has made that weaken our country and makes it a more dangerous situation for all of us.Bottom line: She goes hand in hand with the ACLU on far too many issues where common sense is abandoned.
Not that I think she actually stands for this, but if she did it would be one of the few good aspects of her.
Either way it doesn't matter. Whoever gets elected won't change a damn thing.

I don't know. They were pretty much done being creative by the time he died. Physical Graffiti is a masterpiece, but everything after it was kind of "meh" with the exception of a few incredible songs like Achilles Last Stand.
I actually think Physical was the beginning of the end. Some great songs, but very uneven compared to HOTH. Still, great album, so is Presence. When we approach In Through The Out Door though...ouch. I don't even want to hear Coda.
But I guess 5 mint albums and 2 great ones is all you really need.

I wonder what drug she's on. Suicide can't be too far away at this point.

I've never heard of this either. Very bizarre. Its certainly possible it was from some ancient civilization here, but more likely from some alien civilization.
Anyone remember the mythical planet Vulcan?? It was spotted several times many years ago orbiting between the Sun and Mercury. One theory is that it wasn't a planet but an alien probe monitoring the Sun and probably collecting samples, which is why it was never spotted again. It left our system.
Would we have detected something as small as a probe at that distance though? Think about it, if aliens are monitoring the sun there are bound to be many other crafts in our system. Why aren't those detected?
I think perhaps it's more likely to be what they call 'planet x', which supposedly have an orbit of several hundred years.
Anyway, back to the satellite.
What really interests me is the total lack of knowledge about this although it seems to have been a hot topic 50 years ago. That smells of major secrecy for very obvious reasons.
At some point this cover-up, whatever it is, is bound to break apart. The effects is going to be monumental.
It's about time we stop fucking around with our petty wars and quarrels about gay marriage. There are far more interesting things we should be looking at. Britney's snatch is not one of them...ok, bad example. Britney's bald head is not one of them.

NASA has tried to discredit that photo for years, but it didn't really work. Its the most infamous photo taken of Mars. Not just "the face" should be looked at, but that whole radius around it where there are objects resembling pyramids and other structures.
Life existed there at some point. Maybe even now. Its barely even open to debate. They already know that it has a history a bit similar to Earth, but something went wrong in its past. The only question is what kind of life. Just microbes, or did it advance to animals or even something resembling mankind?
They have to find the answer, and not cover it up. Mankind is at the point in its evolution where we can accept the fact that life exists in other places.
The evidence of a possible ancient civilization is definitely there. Some think that's where we came from, but I'm not too strong a believer in that. Although, I read once that white people apparently got an inner clock which corresponds to the orbit of Mars, while all other races correspond to the Earth. I won't claim this for sure, but it's sure an interesting theory.
Like I've said before, the ancient texts talk much about horrific events taking place on earth. Scientists agree, although not on the reasons. Perhaps the extinction of Mars was one of these reasons? Hard to say for sure.
An honest expedition(s) to some of the more interesting looking landscape should be the obvious goal. Still they fuck around with these sand samples. Not that that isn't important, but clearly there are other places that should be explored, with our tax money.
Btw, check out my 'Black Knight' thread. Possibly related.

#4748 Re: The Sunset Strip » Led Zeppelin » 916 weeks ago
I'm pretty sure he was joking.
The way the songs are being performed isn't much of a shock though. These guys are approaching 70. As mentioned in the thread already, the Stones are a shell of their former shelves. Keith strums a guitar while doing those poses he does while Mick talks the songs.
But it's still a great show if you're there.
Bootlegs very seldom do bands justice compared to actually being there.
#4749 Re: The Garden » Black Knight » 916 weeks ago
Pretty interesting. I've never heard of this before although I have heard the theory that man was technologically very advanced thousands of years ago. People have pointed to things like the egyptian pyramids to support this theory. It leaves a very big question though if you accept that we could go to space thousands of years ago, what happened in the period in between? Civilizations thousands of years ago were sending satellites into space yet the technology to do so was only developed in the last 50 or so years. How did we forget to do that? What happened to humanity to put us back to the stone age in terms of knowledge when we could supposedly fly into space thousands of years ago?
What's more likely, the satellite was sent by man thousands of years ago or the satellite was from another planet entirely?
There are many theories on the subject.
They've found places in the middle east where sand has been turned into glass. This is what happens when a nuclear bomb goes off. Ancient mythology talks a lot about horrific events taking place around 13000 years ago. So perhaps it all got lost in a nuclear holocaust?
Myself I am believer in alien visitation. I think they came here in ancient times and ruled the earth for a period of time. This explains why there are so many anomalies in archeology, like batteries found in Baghdad, the Pyramids etc. Take the Mayans for example, they knew more about the stars than we do in some aspects. Obviously they didn't have telescopes since we would've found some traces of it, but perhaps someone from another galaxy did and the knowledge survived in fragments?
Ancient stories about "gods from the sky in silver chariots" are all over the place. So far conventional history has not produced an explanation for this other than "the ancients had vivid imaginations". Perhaps, but did they also have vivid telegraphs? How else can South America, North America, Europe, Africa, Scandinavia, Asia and Australia been indulging in the very same fantasies?
#4750 Re: The Garden » WH Press Secy Never Heard Of Cuban Missile Crisis » 916 weeks ago
Not at all surprised. In School (90s) we had like a fourth of a page or something about it. If it hadn't been for the movie 13 Days I probably still wouldn't have known much about it, and I actually read history.
