Isaiah, I just laid one on your doorstep man and you chose to react in an overzealous, severely close minded fashion. Conservative idiots? The conservative idiots in question have been dead for a long time. Look back about 90 years. Who was conservative? What was the definition? Were there a lot of isolationists as well? Different times and totally different political climate. No nukes and no communist countries. Do some googling now and start soaking it in. I just found a good article that I shall share with the class later. It starts earlier and extends latet but the big year in the Sisson Document story takes place in 1918. I gave you a REAL good point for a somewhat meaningful argument and you blew it. Shooting from the hip with blanket statements only makes one look like a fool. Providing a little back up makes one at least palatable to the other side. Think about it.
Sisson Documents~ A bit of information on the documents can be found here. http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=Bolshevik03#Assistance
Actually, a bigger impact on US/Russo-Communist relations came from the Allied intervention in Russia during the Russian Civil War. We forgot it in the West, but the Soviets never did.
Nice to see you pop in KLJ and so true. How things are perceived "here" vs. how they are perceived "there" mean a lot. A lot of people never take this into consideration. It has been many, many years since I wrote my paper on The Sisson Documents but it really is the gist of my point. There was a lot of truth in them even if they were forged. What would make it difficult for the Bolsheviks was how this stuff (even if it wasn't true) was being laid down as "gospel" in the NY Times (and other papers I can surmise). Forged documents were quoted on a daily basis in 1918. Oh the power of the media.
Meanwhile Hamas doesn't want a ceasefire, they are too busy firing rockets into S. Israel, all the while moaning about the Israeli airstrikes. Their brethren in Hizbollah have been quiet, but they have let a few rockets fling into N. Israel just yesterday.
There is splendid evidence of the existence of all lower forms of astral beings (commonly referred to as fairies or elves), I strongly encourage you to do some research on the last of the 5 "cottingley fairy photographs" it shall eliminate all doubt as to their existence. There are others, all of which sir Arthur Conan Doyle was involved with investigating it. ~Isaiah
Crikeys mates, I think we found a fairey in our very own forum. And to think, I thought Davie was weird, but his only claim to fame is being a repulicrat, this Isaiah character is definitely out there. Next he is going to tell us that ET is real.
ET is real and he is being held captive at Area 51 by Bush and Cheney. They used ET's technology to bring down the WTC. In 2012, Pres Obama - aka Mabus, aka Busma, aka Subma - will release him and, in an act of vengeance, ET will cause a comet to destroy the Earth just as the famous Mayan prophet Nostradamus predicted in his calendar.
"cottingley fairy photographs" I hate to be the dude that bursts any childs belief in fairys and Santa but the Cottingley photos were long confessed to of being faked. Minimal research would have shown that.
Well I'm 21, and I know the first 4 were faked, but Frances Griffith maintained that the last one was genuine. CUT OUT THE PERSONAL INSULTS
Francis Griffith is a jerk or do you start your personal insults this early in the day?You really dont want to do that you know. Besides that , lets look at your claim.Firstly you point us to a fairy story , i reply it was long ago confessed to as being faked and you come up with the unlikely scenario that 4 of the 5 pictures are fake but somehow the 5th is genuine. You seem the type that might be interested in a bridge i have for sale , its in your neighborhood.
The astral beings (fairies) did not feel as though they should be seen by the whole of Britain, So Frances Griffith and Elsie Wright had to use paper cutouts, but for the last photo, they had no cutouts to use, so they caught a photo of the fairies themselves. ~Isaiah
That holds as much water as a sieve.The fairys dont want to be photographed so use paper cut outs..ok im with you so far The great paper shortage of 1917 meant that no paper cut outs were possible , of course they couldnt just reuse one of the other cut outs for reasons unexplained..ok So rather than disappoint the world the fairys obliged and had thier photos taken..is that it?
