Just Spoke W/ Very Senior USN Officer. Says MSM and public school-educated citizenry have No Clue.
Friends and Fiends | 11/10/2010 | Friends and Fiends

Posted on 11/10/2010 4:08:36 AM PST by upstanding

Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USN skipper. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," are concerned with how stupid the MSM and Americans are and at how the Internet has fueled rampant ignorance.

As I was calling him, he was calling me to call my military and IC friends to have a laugh and share some scotch to ease our aching heads.

As I now understand it, the OP was a snipy spoof on another thread.

I either forgot that about Ted Turner or never knew it before. Thank you, Quix.

“They think globalist Ted Turner’s wish to come back reincarnated as a deadly-to-humans pathogen was just an idle rich guy’s musings instead of a commentary on what he and the ‘UNgood ole boys’ have been working hard toward for 110 years.”

The sad truth is, misanthropes are refreshing. People get tired of politically correct images with sweet-n-low smiles, concerned looks orchestrated with dimple depth measured by the millimeter.

People can assume that a misanthrope is just kidding. Or, there's a side to them that wishes there weren't so many traffic jams or long lines at the stores. No worries, FRiend. People overwhelmingly rejected the anti-humanist ruling class. They might not realize the full depth of evil yet, but mainstream America is sounding more like FReepers every day.

[Also good to remember that many people would rather mock a lunatic like Turner than brand him as the evil man he is. It's just a social approach people choose.]

Maybe it was only a contrail, but a vanity ridicule of FR is not called for.

And I don’t believe a word of it (his claims in this vanity).

It is in the same kind of style as many other vanities posted by other trolls who have got the zot.

You are incredibly dense.

I started this thread to mock another thread that...

If you think that's acceptable for this forum, that's wonderful. I wasn't mocking FR at all; I was mocking conspiracy nuts who take something easily explainable and construct wild, complicated stories to turn it into something malevolent.

IMO, the nonsense thrown around here lately about the contrail was laughable, but harmless. But when forum participants started throwing around crap about their "military contacts," my trollometer and BS-meter goes off.

It's the Internet equivalent of the guy at a party who gives us the skinny from his "operator" friends.

The thread that I mocked was titled, "Just Spoke W/ Very Senior Ret. USAF Officer. Says USAF, NORAD, Etc. Have "No Clue" About Missile." C'mon. Putting that in "Breaking News?" The other thread deserved to be mocked. And my thread developed wonderfully; it contains as much reason and fact as that other thread. And slightly more nutters muttering about "THE TRUTH!"

Go get wound up over contrails. Be my guest.

BTW, do you KNOWERS-OF-THE-TRUTH types about the MISSILE THAT WAS LAUNCHED OVER THE HEARTLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN! THE CHICOMS ARE NOW RATTLING THEIR SWORDS OVER WICHITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See the horrifying photograph here: http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/news/story/41418/not_a_missile_over_california_1.asp

Yeah. It's like they think it's their responsibility to join FR and straighten us all out.

It's not like anyone forced the noob to read the thread. That's what scroll keys are for.

If our government had a history of being honest with the citizenry you’d probably have a lot fewer conspiracy theorists to dislike.

Laz is spot on again!
This thread is looking to be put into the FReeper Classics.

Who cares what you can’t stand.

Did someone anoint you as the moderator of threads and mock away according to your likes and dislikes?

YOU have a MAJOR control issue along with your desperate need of attention.
