And in case any elite secret agencies are reading these posts...MASSDRIVER said:To think there were elite teams performing demolition operations while nobody noticed? Brent.
I was thinking Brent but didn't want to imply anything unsavory......I believe everyone made it out of that building.....mjesse said:And in case any elite secret agencies are reading these posts...If you're currently hiring for double-secret stealth demolition associates, I may know a guy![]()
After the Snowden release, and the intercepted Victoria Nuland telephone call it appears to me that our buildings are more at risk from civil insurrection and attack from others in nations that our empire is trying to conquer, we are the most hatred empire the world has ever seen as we try to impose our religion (civil rights within, human rights outside) on the entire world, other nations and religions will and are fighting to the death to stop us. With the huge amounts of money we are spending to make our buildings earthquake/hurricane resistant it seems to me that it's more important to build our buildings resistant to attack from within and without. This is not only me but my customers who are more concerned about burglarproof structures, security gates, and other security concerns than they are the earthquake, green, and energy concerns of the codes being mandated.mjesse said:And in case any elite secret agencies are reading these posts...If you're currently hiring for double-secret stealth demolition associates, I may know a guy![]()
It's envy not hatred. The rest of the world wants to be us. Even the middle east. That will taper off once we are Mexico.we are the most hatred empire the world has ever seen
No, it used to be envy and is still in places like Mexico, but in much of the world it's hatred, at the Sochi Olympics Russia agreed to the disability activists' demands and held a Special Olympics, then at the last minute Obama demanded that they accept Gays, China has jailed some feminists and Hillary has demanded that they release them, Obama just demanded that South Americans adopt our Human Rights demands, no matter what anyone thinks of these issues we have no right to demand what others do on their soil. We are stil occupying Germany and Japan 70 years after the end of WWII, I have a cousin who lives in Germany but has to drive in the United States, he says our rules are absurd, he drove the Autobahn from his home to Budapest averaging 200kph (120 MPH), the slow cars voluntarily keep to the left of the faster cars, here the slow cars think they have every right to the road as the better cars, it's our egalitarianism that we are trying to force onto the rest of the world. I have a friend who came here from Chile, he was a partner in an airplane with me, he made a small fortune here but has left and lives in Russia now, he said that they are coming out of Socialism and could be a free country while we are plunging into Socialism losing all of our freedoms, there is no more opportunity here anymore like when he came.ICE said:It's envy not hatred.
