by "mainstream media," i assume you mean fox news, the most popular - by far - news channel in america for ten years running, right?
 
2012-05-03 09:42:46 AM
Fox News IS the mainstream media.
 
2012-05-03 09:49:50 AM
Because it doesn't really matter? As long as no one else gave them material support or was aware of the plot, all they have in common is that they share a common cause. A cause that is perfectly legal to pursue through protest and other political means. Is there anyone out there who doesn't realize that left wing and right wing terrorists both exist as well as the religious zealots? There's nothing new here.

What's truly scary about this is how deep you have to go to really uncover this conspiracy. I know many of you haven't spent the decades I have perfecting your understanding of the science of numerology, and might have only applied a very casual number-based study to this incident and the nefarious truths it exposes. But my research goes deeper.

We'll start basic, with the word "OCCUPY". Number equivalents: O=7, C=3 (X2), U=6, P=8, Y=1. Total=28.

A meaningless number in this context. BUT! But, always a but. Add 2 and 8, you get 10. And who was the 10th president of the United States?

That's right, John Tyler.

Before we get to John Tyler, though, remember this crucial fact--numerology is only ever as accurate as the language it is decoding. The name of the actual movement is not "Occupy," but rather, "Occupy Wall Street." This is one of the ways they've escaped detection as long as they have--by popularizing a shorthand version of their name. Let's add in WALL (6+1+3+3=13) and STREET (3+4+2+5+5+4=23) and bring the total weight of the term to 64.

You will note, of course, that 6+4=10. Which brings us right back, once again, to John Tyler.

Here's the equation for John Tyler's name: 4+1+3+5+2+1+7+5+5=33. And I know what you're doing now. You're looking at the first number, 64, and this number 33, and thinking: that's farking meaningless. Why the fark are you wasting my name, Pocket Ninja?

BUT YOU'RE FORGETTING ONE CRUCIAL THING: John Tyler had no middle name.

I'm farking serious about this. Look it up. The man had no middle name. And here's another reason this connection has so long escaped us: many scientists attempting a numerological reading simply saw no middle initial and said, "what the heck, guess there's no number." But a "no alphabet" result in true numerology always get a weight of 9. That's right...the numerological significance of John Tyler's name is NOT 33, it's 42.

Now are you starting to see? Take 42 and subtract it from our original number, 64. See that 22? Now, divide it in half to reflect the two original sources.

11.

Now go here. And let the true horror commence.

The Occupy movement is mentioned in the third paragraph of the first link Fuddbusters provides as "proof."

Why does the mainstream MSM media refuse to mention OWS sooner than the third paragraph even though right-wing bloggers want them to?

Not having a middle name is unnatural, and you have to be a natural born citizen to be president so Tyler must have been a secret muslin terrorist black man, out to destroy Mareka.
 
2012-05-03 10:32:15 AM
Because they were anarchists who felt that OWS was working with corporations and law enforcement as described in the FBI complaint?
 
2012-05-03 10:32:42 AM
Probably because the media completely ignores OWS.

If every newspaper doesn't have a front page headline saying ALL OWS PARTICIPANTS ARE TERRORISTS!, that's liberal bias.

2012-05-03 10:34:47 AM
Maybe because the FBI in this case was acting as an agent provocateur. The original plan called for smoke bombs to be set off as a diversionary act in order to deface banks. Then once the FBI got involved, there was talk of explosives on federal land..... Yeah.... I smell entrapment.

Seriously, what the fark is the point of the Occupy protests? They seem to be protesting for the sake of protesting, intentionally avoiding any specific, tangible point or cause.

Yes.

Unless you're like ALEC and actually write legislation and hand it off to your paid congressman, you aren't being specific enough and have not right to protest the general condition of the US economy.

Oh, is the FBI foiling its own terrorist plots again? Has it been a couple months already?

At least they've made progress by choosing white mentally unstable patsies to manipulate, instead of the usual brown colored ones.

You are mistaken. All supporters of a cause or of a position of advocacy must be considered to be advocates of the most extreme and criminal tactics endorsed or used by a single member.

You seem to have missed the part where they're protesting against the top-heavy wealth disparity in this country.

Or the part where there's only one job opening for every four unemployed people; and most of the time that job pays just barely enough for the employee to not die from starvation or exposure to the elements, but not enough for them to pay off their student loans -- which they got because they were told by their parents, teachers, government, colleges and job recruiters that they needed to get a college degree to get a good job and that they'd need to get a huge loan to get that college education.

Or the part where the cops are macing protesters who were petitioning the government for a redress of grievances, throwing hand grenades at injured people's faces, and arresting people for Contempt Of Cop.


But yeah, other than that, they have been protesting solely for the sake of protesting and have not at any point had anything even somewhat resembling a specific, tangible point or cause.

Just want mention that my grandfather had no middle name. When my greatgrandparents were asked his middle name for the birth certificate they answered "Ziv," Yiddish for "nothing" or "zippo." And that's what it said on his birth certificate and his driver's license.

An Armenian salesman is travelling through the Midwest and stops off in a small town. There on Main Street is "Touktarian's Chinese Restaurant." Intrigued, he goes inside, orders and eats a perfectly normal traditional Chinese meal. He asks to see the owner and a Chinese guy stops off at his table.

"You're Touktarian?" he asks and the owner answers "Yes, I am Touktarian."

"Can I ask how you got that name?" the salesman says. "Certainly. When I came to this country I was going through registration and I found myself standing on line behind an Armenian. When they asked me my name I told them: Sam Ting."

Odd, the last few days all my GOP friends were frothing at the mouth and readying the torches and pitchforks over the supposed connection between the Obama 2012 slogan "Forward" and the Hitler youth. I guess that didn't gain any traction. Time for the new, fake, manufactured derpy poutrage.

It was "Libs-Libs-Libs.jpg" in real life. Sad and freaking hilarious at the same time.

Why won't the rest of the world freak out over the the things the Republicans want them to freak out over??

Yes.

There is no specific tangible point or cause because this is what an actual grassroots movement looks like. The Tea Party has concise goals because it was headed by Fox News with leaders and talking points and whatnot. The sheeple were told what to follow. Who is the leader of OWS? Gee, I wonder why there's no single coherent tangible point or legislation.

And WTF? You cannot protest unless you are specific about it? Are you shiatting me? WTF country do you live in? This is supposed to be one of those, we elect people to represent us sort of deals. We tell them what we want and they do it. The public is not doctors/lawyers/economists/sociologists/etc all in one. We farking pay legislators to hire experts, become experts themselves and then make the decisions. That's how this shiat works. So we go to our legislator and tell them "our economy sucks balls." They then turn around to their staff of experts and start figuring things out to fix it. We turn to our legislator and say "holy shiat gas prices eat donkey nuts." Our legislator then turns around to their staff and come up with various plans or methods and select the best one(s) and enact them.

What the hell country do you live in where the public should be writing the specific legislation they want passed? What the hell jobs have you held in your life where your boss apparently walks up to you and gives you step by step directions? My boss tells me to accomplish X. My job is to figure out how to accomplish X and then execute that plan. We our the bosses of the legislators. We tell them to accomplish X. How to do it and then doing it is their job.

For the most part, the things you post are relatively sane but wow was this really off for you.
