Yeah.

Bet that's why about 50% of the computers in the south-central region of the Army Reserve are low-end Celerons (even some Pentium and Pentium II processors in there, production machines).

LOL, Hey my Guard unit just got rid of the systems with the 5 1/4 inch floppies a couple of years ago.
 
The DoD is at least 50 years ahead of the curve technology-wise. To insist otherwise is to engage in pure ignorance.

I hope this guy never ends up working for the government... the poor. The realization that governments are generally the most backward organizations in term of technology integration will crush him.

Also, note the subtile use of the "moon landing fallacy" (a name I coined myself, in all humility): "If the US can send people on the Moon, then they can do X" -> "If the US can have cell phones during WWII, then the Pentagon must be equipped with futuristic defensive gadgets like in the movies". It's just a big non-sequitur, but it still amuses me to no end everytime I see someone using it.

Heh, I don't dount it at all.

We get things once the active army is done with them, and the Guard gets them when we're done with them.

So you should be getting some new low-end Celerons, Pentiums, and Pentium IIs soon :) We're upgrading to 1 GHz Dells (but they have black cases, so they must be the sooper-sekrit black-ops 50 year future technology Dells).

Don't get me started on the rest, like rifles that have been around for 20+ years, or going to war with the old Kevlar vests (circa 1800), and M113 APCs (Vietnam era), or medical supplies about 5 years behind what's avaiable in any halfway decent ER in the nation.

Considering that many of these people believe that the US did NOT send people to the moon, their certainty about the advanced state of secret gov't technology is all the more hilarious.
 
There is no land beyond the law
Where TYRANTS rule with unspeakable power!
It's but a DREAM from which the evil wake,
To face their fate their terrifying hour!
 
I wonder how representative is the logic presented displayed by the researcher above?

The US should have had the ability to prevent 911.
The US didn't prevent 911.
Therefore the US must have made it happen or let it happen.

Of course, we know that there is no should about the US's ability to prevent 911. The technology and competency that they imagine the US must possess simply does not exist and no system could prevent every single possible terrorist attack every time.

If only they would devote their energy to helping the US develop the technology and the competency they imagine the US already possesses.
 
The DoD is at least 50 years ahead of the curve technology-wise. To insist otherwise is to engage in pure ignorance. DoD was using cell phones during WWII.

Further, to insist that while the DoD is 50 years ahead of the curve technology-wise and meanwhile the Pentagon would not have employed some of that technology in its own defense is to spread disinformation.

This is an almost grotesque misreading of what really happened and it shows the lack of general technical and scientific knowledge among the twoofer crowd. Wich in turn explains why they believe what they do, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing after all.

In 1942, the theoretical concept behind modern cell phone communications was laid down, suprisingly, by silver screen sex goddess Hedy Lamarr (imagine Jessica Simpson inventing the internet).

Lamarr's ideas were decades ahead of her time and it wasn't until 1962 that the military was able to apply her ideas to a workable prototype for jamming resistant guided torpedo.

These people... if they'd just read a book once in a blue moon, they'd be dangerous.

Why did he do it ???

See my other posts about Dylan's age and human brain development.

It could have something to do with his behaviour.

It definitely explains his actions re: changing the website design that you described after he'd "been dumped by his girlfriend."

Other explanations seem a little more far-fetched (IMHO).

The girl that tracked him down left him? Hmmm...

Anyone else think that this femme fatale was a gummint op?
 
Well, you have to wonder about the quality of a gal that will track down a guy and have sex with him based on a sh*tty conspiracy film. She probably realized that Dylan doesn't know that much about 9/11 and didn't have nearly as much money as she imagined LC would bring in.
 
From their new playground:
This is a thread, about why the light poles are faked>Pentagon.
LyteTrip@LC
Investigators never know which evidence will prove to be useful and what will not.

The light poles allegedly had direct contact with the plane.

Surely they would have been considered as potentially important.

It's evident to me that they wanted the light poles to remain out in the open and to be viewed/photographed as much as possible.

If these guys were cops, they would be keystone!
