Is Obama planning to attack Saudi Arabia?

[Grassy Knowlington]

Scalar weapons causing earthquakes sounds like tinfoil hat conspiracy theory to me. I heard one expert saying that in theory it would be possible to do something like that, but it sounds like too much sci-fi imo. Even if they could focus and direct the energy to a certain location, they would probably need a huge amount of energy in order to cause an earthquake.

Please excuse my ignorance but in what sense is 'scalar' being used here? I'd appreciate it if you explained here rather than directing me to a website. Thanks.

PS. Is it to be contrasted with a 'vector weapon' perhaps?

I have heard the term scalar weapons being used. But it could be a misleading term since to cause an earthquake, the energy would have to be focused and directed (vectored).

Thanks. So a 'scalar' weapon is say a nuke, 'vector' a high-powered laser?

I don't know the exact terms. Those who think HAARP can be used as a scalar weapon perhaps mean that it's a broad kind of beam produced rather than say a laser that has a very narrow and vectored beam.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Another 15 points for Hufflepuff, for introducing Tesla, almost unannounced into the thread.

Ha ha. This is getting out of hand. What next? Space aliens?

Add that to a long list of other things you don't know anything about.

Why not, it's as likely as your No Plane ideas.

Do you find that this level of gullibility is an asset in your life?

These extreme conspiracy theories are not something I bring up in ordinary situations. Because then people would think I'm a complete kook, or have smoked some funny stuff.

Well that is as it should be. If you spout of nonsense like this you should be dismissed as a kook.

BS.

The Cold War would have lasted only a day, WW3 only half an hour. And it would have been a HUUUGE win for our side.

This is arguably just as mind bogglingly stupid as your no nukes at all theory fantasy (in science, a theory has supporting evidence).

Actually, both sides would be glowing in the dark. It´s not a huge victory if some of your cities are reduced to rubble.

 

[Anders Lindman]

Well that is as it should be. If you spout of nonsense like this you should be dismissed as a kook.

But there are serious indications that support my theories. On the other hand, it's not something that is easy to explain to people. Besides, many people would not even want to listen to any talk about 911 conspiracies! So it's better to not say anything.

Obviously it's not the case that there are indications to support your ides. They are not theories. A theory provides a framework to explain evidence. As your ideas have no evidence they do not qualify as theories.

Anders, I don’t know if you have smoked anything, or have taken anything, but you certainly have earned the right to be called a kook.

By your own admission, you don’t have any credible evidence to back up your assumptions, you are lazy and don’t do any research, and I might add that you are not above lying to bolster your cockamamie ideas. A better definition of a troll would be hard to find.

Try leaving your basement, a few minutes a day until you get used to it, and see what the real world is like.

Take a look at the Big Lie strategy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie

"All this was inspired by the principle--which is quite true within itself--that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." -- Adolf Hitler , Mein Kampf, vol. I, ch. X

So now you're hitching your wagon to Adolph Hitler's star?? Was he famous for being right about things?

Followup question: Does all the attention lavished on you here really compensate for the fact that everyone thinks you're an idiot?

So now you're hitching your wagon to Adolph Hitler's star?? Was he famous for being right about things?

But the Big Lie tactics is a bad thing! As some famous person said:

"You can fool all people half of the time and fool half of the population all the time, but you can't fool all people all the time."

The Big Lie tactics is a short-sighted thing. Sooner or later they will shoot themselves in the foot with the big lie.

Here's a better one for this and similarly veined threads:

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

Good ol' Winston!

"Saudi Arabia, GCC Troops Enter Bahrain Amid Gulf Protests

March 15 (Bloomberg) -- Saudi Arabian troops moved into Bahrain as part of a regional force from the Gulf Cooperation Council, the first cross-border intervention since a wave of popular uprisings swept through parts of the Arab world.

“This is war against the unarmed Bahraini people,” said Matar Ebrahim Ali Matar, a member of al-Wefaq, the largest Shiite opposition party.

Mainly Shiite protesters in Bahrain have been demonstrating since Feb. 14, demanding democracy through free elections from their Sunni monarch. Shiites comprise as much as 70 percent of the population. King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has offered a national “dialogue” toward changes in response, which hasn’t quieted protesters. Clashes escalated on Sunday with more than 100 people injured."
