Now those movies are a helluva lot of fun. Smile

I could Occupy My Capital City if they had those running on the big screen. Smile

You're just jealous of our brilliant plan to have a pig shit powered civilization with gladiatorial combat and drag queens.

And we shall all be descended from a tribe of half wild children looking for Captain Walker.

I love this film! Very Happy

By the way, if anyone is unclear about what the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are upset about, watch this movie:


Inside Job

It is a very coherent account of the vast financial crimes which have crippled the global economy while making a handful of people obscenely rich.

They're upset over a movie?

Can we protest about Twilight then?

Not having seen the film, i can only speculate, but I suspect the film documents (or dramatizes) the alleged polarization of western economies by focusing on the wealth-gathering and market manipulation techniques of a few individuals (while ignoring others).

I'm kind of conflicted, the movie looks interesting enough, but he also told me the Satantic Childmolesters of the CIA was a good book.

@Dutch: Protesting Twilight movies comes with it's own risks via exposure to crazies:

Hmm... yes. Fair enough.

I might just go find another thread now. Smile

Here's another video relating to one of the topics under discussion:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weSzkIB8184&feature=youtu.be

"Conspiracy of Silence" was a 1994 documentary funded by the Discovery Channel. It describes a pedophile and drug trafficking ring with connections to the Boys Town orphanage and the Franklin Federal Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska. The pedophile ring allegedly catered to a number of high profile figures in business and politics. Shortly before the documentary was to air the Discovery Channel inexplicably withdrew their support and the hour-long feature never aired on television.

Funny how the reactionary trolls always fall silent when you ask them to back up their trolling statements. Laughing

You're still posting, so apparently not.

Oh, zing! That's almost as good as "I'm rubber, you're glue..."

I've cited several books and websites to back up what I've said. You've still got nothing but this childish babble. Come back when you can debate like an adult.

Technically, "citing" them would involve posting relevant passages from the books, not simply shouting that if we don't read the full book we're lying.

Technically, I also listed some videos and a website for those without the intellectual capacity or attention span to read a book. You can watch "Conspiracy of Silence" online for free, and it's less than an hour. Or you can go to http://www.historycommons.org and enter a search for any of the people I named in connection with 9/11. You'll get a return of dozens of articles from major papers around the world backing up what I said. Or you can keep up your impotent sputtering, whatever makes you happy.
