Heck if I know, why don't you ask? It's easy.
Seems like your thread would get more exposure that way, why you bitchin'?
How often does a moderator make a point to change the title of a thread every half-hour or so?
Maybe you should ask, it's easy.
Could be because the material was laughably absurd and worthy of comedic poking.
Why was I gagged, at the precise time as the ringleader at fogbow, who brags about her sock puppets, said her sock puppets were having a rest?
Probably aliens. But you could always ask. It's easy.
Why was one of my supporters gagged
You have supporters?
Why was the thread left standing to view without allowing any more posts once people arrived to challenge the sock puppets?
I think they call that "locked". It's like an off switch.
They talk about throwing in some crazy garbage imbetween their reasonable claims so they can keep people believing that they are real Freepers and not out to sabotage this place.
Who? Name some names.
They need Free Republic to appear to be intact, while actually infiltrated by government minders.
Ohhh-kay.
The video shows what it shows. If bringing to people’s attention what is in the video that ABC deliberately pixelated once they learned that I was looking closer... is garbage, then everybody who contributes to this site has to ask themselves why they don’t just contribute to ABC, since that’s what people are supposed to be allowed to see?
Free Republic is supposed to be the place where the truth matters. What is on that video and the way ABC handled it tells us a lot about ABC. The way FR handles it when what’s actually on that video is pointed out says a lot about Free Republic.
Is it still the greatest research site on the web, or not? The people (like myself) who contribute and the people who lurk need to know.
Check out article, then read comments, and esp # 81.
There will be more pings to this thread as soon as I read the remainder of comments.
Thanks, butterdezillion. Stay the course.
Truth matters. Conspiracy nuttery is not truth.
What is talk about Benghazi? Truth, or conspiracy?
What is talk about IRS-gate? Truth, or conspiracy?
What is talk about Fast and Furious? Truth or conspiracy?
What is talk about Extortion 17? Truth or conspiracy?
What is talk about the changing the “known terrorist” classification of the “Saudi person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing? Truth or conspiracy?
When there are discrepancies galore in the official reports, signs of photoshopping in multiple media items, and video of extra people where they aren’t supposed to be even AFTER ABC edited and pixelated their own video, it seems to me that further scrutiny is warranted. But if you say it isn’t then exactly what situation WOULD warrant further investigation?
Give ‘im hell, butters!
I couldn’t tell from the various photos on the other threads if there were extra people or what was happening. But I read because:
1. The fact that Fuddy died or whatever in the crash, was odd. Adding to that she is (was) named in an upcoming lawsuit about the birth cert. forgery.
2. There were so many contradictions in news articles and personal accounts, that were very odd.
3. There were more contradictions and strange coincidences regarding the pilot, timelines and other things, that was very odd.
4. The fact that there were so many video cameras (one guy had two and didn’t someone else have one?) at the ready, taking video of the whole thing - but with some bits chopped out, or hand held over the camera - more very odd stuff.
5. And now this autopsy report with seemingly little to no actual medical information but instead with psychological stuff - very odd.
The whole thing is ... odd, just like so much connected with the freak in the WH.
I don’t know but the nuttery about that plane is just plain nuttery.
I should not have to be the one to tell you this. Your friends are letting you down.
I want Free Republic to remain what it has always been: a community of people who are committed to conservatism and to examining the evidence on issues that the lamestream won’t touch. America desperately needs it to be that. All the true Freepers who pitch in what they can to keep this site going know this is desperately needed, which is why we give. We love America, we love the truth, we love conservatism, and we desperately need this place to be salt.
We all know Jim loves this country, and that’s why he set this place up. Because the work he has done is so critical to the battle for America, this place is a high-level target for enemy operations. We all know that. I don’t pretend to know all the things Jim is trying to balance in his decisions.
What I do know is that this is a great place for people to talk, for deep anlaysis and detection of BS from whatever quarters it comes, and for the numbers of viewers that can make a real difference in the direction of America. The lamestream cuts off discussion of anything they think is “crazy” - without regard to what evidence supports it. They blew off the Dan Rather Memo-gate story, which was only carried by places like Free Republic. I didn’t even touch on NSA-gate in the post, but it takes more than one hand to count off the number of really critical issues that Congress is supposedly investigating (or should be) that the MSM poo-poohs because it’s “crazy conspiracy talk” and “could never happen here”.
If that’s the kind of filtering we want, we can get that anywhere we look. Dime a dozen. If Free Republic goes that same direction then we’ve all lost something really, really precious and FR will be just like any other government indoctrination avenue. Just like abc.gov.
The only people I want to “give hell” to are the people who are lying to destroy this country. With everybody else, all I ask/want is the chance for the evidence to be sorted out so people can make up their minds. That’s what FR has been and I cherish that. All of us who support this place do.
Does that include folks who don't buy into conspiracies?
What if they find it so absurd that they mock it.. are they Alynski trolls?
If you or anybody else thinks that, I’m open to discuss. I’m talking about the news reports, the video of the crash, NTSB actions, other officials reports, etc. If I’m making a claim that makes no sense or if you think the evidence I’m bringing forward is not authentic, or whatever else, then anybody here can expose that. The fact that ABC pixelated the videos speaks volumes. If there’s nothing there you don’t bother to hide it.
As I said, Freepers are the best researchers. If what I’m saying is crazy then somebody will come forward with factual information to rebut what I’m saying. Unfortunately, what’s happened on this issue is ad hominems, which is a last resort for people who’ve got nothing.
Depends on why they find it absurd.
When you’ve got the media reporting one dead at 4:40pm, when the “dead” person is said to be in critical condition 37 minutes later.... a reasonable person would ask what the heck is going on.
When the spokesperson for the coroner says that Fuddy was retrieved from the wreckage, after the coroner would have received the reports from the eyewitnesses who retrieved her.... a reasonable person would ask what the heck is going on.
When black people appear in the water immediately (before any rescuers were even en route to help) after a flight with no black persons on board, a reasonable person would ask what the heck is going on.
I could go on for pages and pages with similar discrepancies. I strongly question the reasons why anybody would claim that this crash smells like roses when there is so much factual, observable information that smells like the sewer.
There is an alien language displayed in this tree bark.
Have you some factual information to rebut what I'm saying?
No problem. I want FR to remain relevant too and that’s why I prefer to keep some of the nuttier conspiracy stuff off. We can leave the nuttier stuff to nutter magnates like Alex Jones, WhatReally[Didnt]Happened.com, BeforeitsNews[becauseitsnuts].com, etc.
For the record:
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the number one cause of natural death in the United States with approximately 325,000 people dying in that way each year.
Stress is a key contributing factor to Sudden Cardiac Arrest. It is rare that people dying after Sudden Cardiac Arrest exhibit any prior symptoms. Several young, healthy athletes die in this way every year.
It can be stressful to have a plane that you are riding in crash into the ocean.
Keith Yamamoto, Deputy Director of Health said in the first reports after the rescue that he was holding Loretta Fuddy’s hand “trying to calm her down.”
Conspiracy theories are fun hobbies for internet blogs. There are still people debating the Grassy Knoll Kennedy assassination plot theory, 51 years later.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. I’m not saying the videos are not authentic, I’m just saying the conclusions [in some cases] are nuts.
