[Official!] Conspiracies and Urban legends

[MARIS61]

Saddam Hussein buried his billons of dollars of high-tech weapons of mass destruction under the sand.

On the ESPN board I used to argue with very serious warmongers (some stationed over there) who threatened to kill you if you opposed their insanity.

Imagine a delicate instrument, wires sticking out, requires temperature control, etc. It sure is useful down there. You spent big bucks, hid its purchase from UN and US international tracking, so you could fucking BURY it.

The most ridiculously pathetic "conspiracy" of my lifetime. It's scary to think how many people lacked the basic reasoning powers to ignore such drivel.

 

[MARIS61]

No bait.

I appreciated his answer too.

I can't imagine how anyone under the age of 30 can say they feel oppressed as a black person in the United States, but maybe I really am just that naive?

If you remove the words "as a black person" from that sentence, then you have a provable conspiracy. Today's young Americans are anything but free.

What about ghost shits? Like when you take a shit, and then when you go to flush, there's nothing there.

In before MARIS61. Couldn't post fast enough to beat jlprk.

Sorry, you're not "in" unless you actually contribute something. Try again next time.

Not sure about high tech but you sell things for a living, if you sold weapons who would be the first person you would make a house call to?

As a Realtor I do facilitate the purchase and/or sale of properties. I represent the buyer more often than the seller, and sometimes I represent both the buyer and the seller.

Maybe you can rephrase this so I can better answer it. "Weapon" can mean anything from Nukes, dirty bombs, guns, rocks, sharp paper edges, or a rapier wit.

But the obvious answer in any case is you sell your product to those who want your product. Anything else would be unethical.

Tuesday marked 50 years since Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, "shocked the world" and beat Sonny Liston — one of the greatest fighters to ever step in the boxing ring. The fight catapulted the young Clay to the top of the boxing world, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation thought the win might have involved something more seedy beyond the box score.

Clay and Liston sparred six rounds at the Miami Convention Center, and Liston's decision to quit before the seventh raised red flags for the FBI, which at the time suspected the fight had been fixed by a Las Vegas gambler, according to the Washington Times.

Through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Times obtained memos (some addressed directly to the FBI's then-director, J. Edgar Hoover) showing the bureau's investigation into Ash Resnick and Barnett Magids — two gamblers who seemed to have insider knowledge before the upset.

Resnick, who had connections to Liston and organized crime, first advised Magids that Liston would knock out Clay in the second round. Then on the day of the fight, documents show Resnick told Magids not to make any bets on the fight but to "just go watch the fight on pay TV and he would know why and that he could not talk further at that time."

"Magids did go see the fight on TV and immediately realized that Resnick knew that Liston was going to lose," a document stated. "A week later, there was an article in Sports Illustrated writing up Resnick as a big loser because of his backing of Liston. Later people 'in the know' in Las Vegas told Magids that Resnick and Liston both reportedly made over $1 million betting against Liston on the fight and that the magazine article was a cover for this."

It's not confirmed that Liston took a dive, but it was enough for the FBI to continue to assert the suspicion internally that Resnick had fixed the fight.

No evidence was found to show that Clay was in on the scheme or even knew about it, and no evidence ever fully corroborated the bureau's suspicions.

You're an American hero.

Coincidence you used a wrestling video. The Portland ESPN board didn't have guys talking about killing you, but a couple of ESPN boards did. Chicago had this guy stationed in Hawaii who wanted to take Space Available to meet people at any airport to fight. He said he was a pro wrestler after work hours, so I looked him up and linked to the buffoon's online publicity pictures. That surprised the killer dick. Later he was transferred to Japan. The Utah board had a bunch of office workers in Seattle ridiculing anyone antiwar (the Sonic board was too liberal for them).

This has also been found in Portland:

The Toynbee tiles (also called Toynbee plaques) are messages of unknown origin found embedded in asphalt of streets in about two dozen major cities in the United States and four South American capitals.[1][2] Since the 1980s, several hundred tiles have been discovered. They are generally about the size of an American license plate (roughly 30 cm by 15 cm), but sometimes considerably larger. They contain some variation on the following inscription:

TOYNBEE IDEA
IN MOViE `2001
RESURRECT DEAD
ON PLANET JUPITER

Call me skeptical, but I had a hard time buying James Morasco's concept that the planet Jupiter would be colonized by bringing all the people on Earth who had ever died back to life. Morasco says he is a social worker in Philadelphia and came across the idea while reading a book by historian Arnold Toynbee, whose theory on bringing dead molecules back to life was depicted in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. That's why he's contacting talk shows and newspapers to spread the message. He's even founded a Jupiter colonization organization called the Minority Association.

Not a conspiracy or an urban legend but these old radio spy codes are creepier than hell:

Has anyone ever had sleep paralysis? I've heard they see shit like this in their bedrooms and can't move anything but their eyes.

I've had it, but luckily no creepy things or sounds involved, lol.

This Russian one that i've posted on here before is creepy too. It's supposedly been going non-stop since the Cold War, with random talking once in a while.

I think I did once. I could have sworn a sting ray looking mist or ghost like object was pressing on my chest. It was really bizarre.

According to jlprk, I was one of the pro war conservatives who tried to get him banned from the ESPN board because he opposed the Iraq war. At the same time, I was attending weekly, sometimes more frequent, protests against the Iraq war. Now there's a wild ass conspiracy theory for you.

I like you Crandc, but let's keep the other poster bashing a little low for now. I mean, we're not even 3 pages into this thread.

I had see both before. I think the video ruins some of the fear for me by showing the guy who is being chased.

The Federal Reserve is keeping rates low to preserve the status quo (A Clinton presidency).

Elizabeth Warren's rant on Wells Fargo will net her a nice payday from Wells Fargo in the future.

There is an economic reason behind the promotion of the idea of climate change. I'm not sure what it is yet, but it isn't to save the planet.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The CIA was behind the Dallas police officer shooting.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

That the @EL PRESIDENTE that posts online and the @EL PRESIDENTE I've met in person are in fact the same person.

Not buying.

 

[e_blazer]

That there was a dog that was sly and could play poker.

What kind of bullshit is that?

EL PRESIDENTE on this board is actually an Indian I hired to post things for my general amusement.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Janet Yellen did not raise interest rates. Keeping interest rates artificially low was done so the economy does not crash under Obama. Same thing happened under the Clinton Administration, the raising of interest rates fueled to dot-com crash.

 

[MarAzul]

you don't know what it's like to be a black person (or any other minority) in todays world.

He never will. I never will. Nor will you if you don't now.
Does this mean the issue will last forever?
