Didn't pass logic class, did you?
An appeal to authority is saying something must be true because some big poobah believes it. Such as "Compound X is the best cancer medicine in our tests, because Dr. Poopenmeyer says it's the best" or "It's a missile because an Air Force General says so."
I was appealing to evidence. An appeal to evidence would be something like "Compound X is the best cancer medicine in our tests because it increase the survival rate buy twice as much as any other" or "It's a missile because you can see a stage separation at 1:39 on the video."
Since the links I was providing contain evidence, not poobahs, I was appealing to evidence. It was as if I was a lawyer and said, "Send that guy to me and I'll show him the photo that proves my client's alibi."
So, yeah...you were way off.

Full Screen
.10 clear separation
.13 TWO clearly visible contrails
Someone explain to me what is going on between .09 and .30
because I have never seen a jet separate into stages.
And Hardraade, it looks like a missile that malfunctioned to me as well. This is the first time I have done a second by second, frame by frame look. The only point we might disagree on is where. It wouldnt have mattered where. obumma had his emergency government ready to go.
The guys at NORAD and NorthComm were caught absolutely flatfooted by this. I bet it takes them a month to clean the pee and poop off the floor and laundry. It was too close for them to respond in any way whatsoever. Had it NOT malfunctioned, we would be looking straight into the abyss.
Pull that vid down and break it up into frames from .09 to .16.
We came THAT close.

Monday Morning
For the past three days, the giant cruise ship Carnival Splendor with a small city of nearly 4,500 passengers and crewmembers aboard has been without power 55 miles off the coast of Punta San Jacinto, disabled by an engine fire Engine-room fire on cruise ship leaves passengers marooned at sea
5:41 PM November 8, 2010
The blaze erupted about 6 a.m. as the 952-foot luxury liner was about 55 miles west of Punta San Jacinto on the first leg of a seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise that departed from Long Beach on Sunday.
I trained at Long Beach. TONS of cargo containers are off and onloaded there.
So can I be forgiven if I say that an engine room fire on a cruise ship the size of a small town with 4500 people on board on THAT place at THAT time is a tad too coinkidink for me to swallow?

There are patterns evolving here that ought to frighten even the hardiest types. Our enemy is absolutely determined to kill is any way they can. To overlook these attempts is suicidal. Tony Shaffer can testify to that.
You can call me any number of names you wish to. None of them will change the facts.
