Just spoke with old friend, very senior retired USN skipper. Says his contacts, many of whom were his "boys," are concerned with how stupid the MSM and Americans are and at how the Internet has fueled rampant ignorance.
As I was calling him, he was calling me to call my military and IC friends to have a laugh and share some scotch to ease our aching heads.

...............speaking of Thighland . . .

that’s just gross, Laz. Even for you, that’s just gross.
Yesterday’s tinfoil is tomorrow’s news. Unless the video is doctored, how does one explain the image of what appears to be a missile tip at the end of the video.
I believe the “share some scotch” phrase may shed some light on this, uh, offering.
“Sure, I’ll have another piece of pie”.
I think you know that I
personally
get told that probably 99.9% more than any other single Freeper—by a wide margin . . .
and probably more than 99.9999% of all the other FREEPERS combined.
NO! I DON’T enjoy that.
I enjoy less seeing FREEPERS so willfully blind and ignorant about globalism and what the poster was poorly presenting in the OP.
It was CLEAR ENOUGH that he was talking about a military officer incredibly dismayed at the ignorance of the American public about the state of reality, of the Republic, of the world.
THAT’S a big enough clear enough issue, to me.
MANY FREEPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OF ALL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! FREEPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE AS WILLFULLY BLIND AND IGNORANT AS THE MAN ON THE STREET!
THAT OUGHT NOT TO BE.
THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS.
THAT IT IS STILL TRUE AFTER 2 YEARS OF OTHUGA IS EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS.
That FREEPERS are still threatened, punished and banned for telling the PATRIOTIC TRUTH about that is even MORE OUTRAGEOUS.
Sigh.
Now THAT was a great thread!
Fair enough on those scores.
I agree.
And there’s this:

The guy who does this video says that the original post about the India nuke was posted on a yahoo group and then reposted on the website below.
There is no evidence to show anything other than what was posted on the ATS thread.
Nuke goes BOOM?

A wise man once asked “Why does the porrige bird lay his eggs in the air?”
whoops, pinged wrong mindbender to post 98.
I hate it when that happens.
>>It was CLEAR ENOUGH that he was talking about a military officer incredibly dismayed at the ignorance of the American public about the state of reality, of the Republic, of the world.<<
Actually, he was making fun of another thread.

And I’m sorry but that’s just NOT right.
Oh well . . .
not the first time I’ve been duped, fooled, made a fool.
Nevertheless . . . good excuse for my rant, I guess.
Sigh.
Thanks for the enlightenment.
No problem Dear Heart!
The first post was inscrutable and had no real information, which sort of encourages exactly what happened. I think.
true
Well, I was unaware people could even do that (and I don’t usually look at keywords—heck, the search function hates me anyway so I hardly ever use it).
Is that a countable or an uncountable infinity?
They can't handle it, it's too horrifying. I have difficulty processing it all myself.
You must be familiar with "avoidance" behaviors, yes?
