Crazy?

Ego, pride, arrogance, one-ups-man-ship . . .

Chinese culture is rife with such . . . as is American culture.

Then there’s the globalist puppet masters . . . . arrogant enough to plan the deaths of all but 200 million global citizens.

Yeah, pride is always crazy . . . eventually.

The Chinese CAN be very good about security.

I think the Chinese have us beat. They're just getting warmed up though and we've been playing encores for decades now.

[Quix]

There is that, alright.

I certainly think they will excel at ostentatiousness.

They can flaunt it like no one I've ever seen.

That was the sequel.

Because the first book actually talks a lot about the failure points that caused famous things to fall down -- it also points out how to remedy them. It covers "Galloping Gertie" (and other bridge collapses), the Empire State Building plane incident, the KC skywalk collapse, and other less known incidents. The Nimitz Freeway collapse was discussed in detail.

If there's a big one in TX, it'll come off the New Madrid fault and it will hit here before it hits there -- and we won't be here to talk about it!

I don't know. I see oxidation on the cables already.

Where do they keep the “Ball of Confusion?”

Especially since we are giving them our secrets.

No joke.

The treasonous globalists.

Who also insured that Mao came to power.

Traitors.

Clueless satanists.

Where?

[raybbr]

Looks like the green is oxidation. I am not sure if it's the lighting but it looks like oxidation to me.
