Obambi's lookin for another 'crisis' enabling him to declare martial law---so he can extend ALL HIS BULLCRAP,FOREVER, til America's second revolution UNSEATS HIM.............ALL ALINSKY STYLE CRAPOLA
I don’t think people realize how large a force would be required to control America.
I can’t understand posters that post known crap.
Sorcha Faal is an American named David Booth. He’s the Queen of internet hoaxes.
Forget tanks, does Canada have 1000 troops? (One well armed Los Angeles or Chicago gang could probably take over the whole country ...)
“there is just enough possible truth ...”
Some possible truth:
California is insolvent, and will be worse off next year. Known fact.
Rand paper on Stability Police Force: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/2009/RAND_MG819.pdf
The military build up and the mind stuff, who knows? But there is certainly other things mentioned that are factual.
This is true.

Now, scientists are finding our memories get consolidated over and over again each time we retrieve a certain bit of information. Let’s say we see a snake: At that moment our brains pull out past information we’ve stored on snakes, such as a close encounter with one. By revisiting the snake memory a portal of sorts opens, and that memory is open to manipulation.
From past studies, scientists think that the window of opportunity opens up between three and 10 minutes after spotting the snake, or its equivalent. And it stays open for at least an hour, but no longer than six hours, Phelps said.
The research team “seized the moment” by changing the fearful information before the memory got reconsolidated or sealed up again.
In the first of two experiments on humans, Phelps and her colleagues had participants view colored boxes on a computer screen, one of which was paired with a mild electric shock. This process conditioned participants to react fearfully to a blue square. They tested the participants’ skin conductance, a measure of arousal, to confirm the conditioning worked.
The next day the researchers showed participants the blue square, a reminder of the object, which was intended to reactivate their memory and initiate the reconsolidation process (memory gets brought out of long-term storage and lingers in this unstable place).
This time, however, the blue square wasn’t paired with a shock, a way to teach participants that the object was now “safe.” Since the researchers had a rough estimate of when the reconsolidation window opened and closed, they varied the timing of this safe information.
You're off by about 100%. Revenue was less than $90 billion.
And I forgot the Interpol immunity that Obozo granted.
Does not add up to all the article puts forth, but not good for the facts that are known.
Guys, if you go to the link, (and no doubt this is an hysterical article), but there are links to actual news stories and such.
It sounds irrational, but a year ago saying that Obama was going to take over General Motors and replace the CEO with someone he picked himself would have earned someone a full on tinfoil hat.
It's very annoying. Suspensions have occured for repeat offenses.
The same or a similar story was posted here last week. There are also a couple of variations out there. One has Nato troops, not just American and Canadian.
Personally, I think someone is yanking our chain.
I can’t see the Canadians doing anything like this? What would they care about our homegrown problems?
Ruski BS.
I can understand that as it gets everyone all riled up and not everyone realizes it’s a hoax.
Hmm, that info is new to me.
Not sure how that will translate to a large population, of which some are media resistant already.
I rarely watch tv. Maybe listen to radio for about 10 to 20 minutes somedays while driving daughter to her actives. And that is it! And there are plenty like me who are independent thinkers.
The only thing that *might* work is if something went viral at youtube or something. But I doubt that would work either.
One of the FIRST things that I learned on FR was to check sources and authors. So very few do that now.
I don’t think they could do anything on a mass scale either. But it is interesting that while everyone is poo pooing the statement in the article that “scientists have just discovered...”, it is in fact real.
It wasn’t written by a Ruskie but an American named David Booth. Sorcha Faal is his pretend name. Which isn’t even Russian.
