Loose Change - Part IV

[Gravy]

??

I didn't know that you are a CTer.

But in that case... okay, I'll expect a fifty page treatise defending your position by noon tomorrow

My LC guide is being translated into Dutch. I need to know how to thank the guy who's doing it!

My LC guide is being translated into Dutch. I need to know how to thank the guy who's doing it!

I suppose he'll understand you if you say it in English....

BTW LashL, that's a bit of a cop-out isn't it? And me being a CT... that's just a perception of some.

 

[LashL]

I was about to say that after reading LashL's last. Man, we're tough over here! Sorry, LashL, the burden of proof is on you.

Yep, you're right. And given that I am not Dutch myself and I don't speak Dutch myself, I probably cannot discharge that burden of proof.

That said, danke is widely and commonly used to mean "thanks" by all of the Dutch people I know (i.e. people born and raised in Holland who have subsequently moved here) - granted, I know only a few dozen who were born and raised there but they are consistent.

It was widely and commonly used by Dutch people in the Netherlands during each of my half dozen visits.

My Berlitz Dutch/English dictionary includes it.

Online translation services include it.

Um, no. I was joking about the treatise - I thought that was obvious.

And as for the CT part, I took that from your own post, as I thought was also obvious.

 

[Gravy]

I suppose he'll understand you if you say it in English....

Since all the Dutchmen I know* are more fluent in English than 95% of Americans, I'm worried that he'll correct me.



*Except for the one who drank beer out of my speedskating boot. By the end of the night no one knew what language he was speaking. Crazy Dutch speedskating fans, when will they learn?....

Ooh, this is getting good, and it's more interesting than Loose Change. Brumsen, are you perhaps a language purist who accepts no colloquialisms?

You do speed skating?[/derail]

[Belz...]

People saw a helicopter, a small commuter plane, a C-130, a 757, a missile, a white jet, a corporate jet, etc etc.... I am coming to the conclusion that many things happened at once to completely confuse everyone, to create a huge diversionary tactic

Long live Smacco's rozar!

Where in the Netherlands?

Online translation services include it.

Please point me to one. I pointed you towards the authoritative dictionary of the dutch language.

Ooh, this is getting good, and it's more interesting than Loose Change. Brumsen, are you perhaps a language purist who accepts no colloquialisms?

Not exactly. Though I like to speak proper Dutch. I simply haven't come across this colloquialism.
BTW, perhaps you ought to be debunking Dutch if you think it more interesting than Loose Change?

 

[Gravy]

[derail]You do speed skating?[/derail]

Used to, but I got tired of staring at guys' asses. I just tried to fit into my (Dutch) boots, which are made from kangaroo leather and cost more than the last car I owned. They must have shrunk a LOT. Yup.

BTW, perhaps you ought to be debunking Dutch if you think it more interesting than Loose Change?

What's "debunker" in Dutch?
It would be a challenge, since Dutch has evolved over hundreds of years. LC has only been through three versions and demolishing it is so easy it's almost unfair.

That said, if I live long enough to see "LC LC: The Fiftieth Anniversary Edition with A Very Special Holographic Appearance by the Bermas Family Singers," promise that you'll smother me with a pillow.

Wow, interesting. I've always thought speed skating was a very cool sport.

[tsig]

Way to go guys....

I second that. I am astonished at the amount of work that Gravy, MarkX and all of the ones at JREF have put in.

THANK YOU!!

Chuck Sheen Tries Marriage Counseling

This thread was pointed out yesterday, about a guy considering telling his wife that either she agree to watch Loose Change or he was divorcing her. This struck a chord with one woman, who replied:

I feel your pain. My husband has had it with me and the truth movement. It has really strained our marriage. He thinks I'm wasting my time and will not do any research of his own. Now he is starting to insult me and my comments about the things we know are amiss. There is alot of resentment on both sides now. I am appalled that this smart man can't/won't discuss or plan future scenarios with me. Truthfully, his total disregard has thrown me big time and I entertain thoughts of separating from him.

Enter Dr Chuck:

If I may make a recommendation for YOUR peticular situation.

Download a Richard Andrew Grove podcast from http://8thEstate.com and play it or ask and I can direct you to the link. You can also check http://911podcasts.com. http://TruthSeeker.us links to them all and finally, if you download http://PalTalk.com for free and join the 911 Podcasts/Interviews/Audio room, it's on rotation.

Basically, he needs to learn somehow. It's either video or audio because reading takes too long. Being a male, I am inclined to believe he will take notice of Richard Andrew Grove. Share your results.

If you haven't heard of Richard Andrew Grove, you don't know what you're missing. He's what I call a kitchen sink conspiracy theorist, in that he believes that everything in history is tied into everything else. For example, he claims that JFK was assassinated 666 years to the day after a papal bull was announced banning the Knights Templar.

I also love the "It's either video or audio because reading takes too long,"; I'm a little surprised he didn't add, "and books tend to misspell peticular".

Well, everybody knows that kangaroo leather shrinks if you serve booze in it.

What's "debunker" in Dutch?

My van Dale translates it with "hekelaar", which seems to me sort of correct but unhelpful. It translates "to debunk" with "ontmaskeren" (un-masking), which leads me to propose "ontmaskeraar" for "debunker".

That said, if I live long enough to see "LC LC: The Fiftieth Anniversary Edition with A Very Special Holographic Appearance by the Bermas Family Singers," promise that you'll smother me with a pillow.

Promise. But that seems an awful long time to me.

 

[Gravy]

I can't figure out why this guy's never been married.

I'm far from being anyone you should listen to when it comes to marital advice. I've never been married but have told women to Uck off and have been told by women to Uck off- all in the name of 9/11 Truth.

 

[Graham2001]

I was looking through the thread linked to above and noticed this statement:

I recommend starting anyone new to 9/11 truth off with WTC building 7.
Suggesting the Pentagon is ridiculous with all the controversy surrounding it. You want to go after the issues the media won't touch....like building 7.

(Poster ID: Waking up Amy)

Perhaps it might be worthwhile writing up a simple leaflet dealing with this aspect, just touching on the basic claims, 'Silverstein said "Pull It"', the insurance angle, the so called Controlled Demolition of the building and most importantly all the media statments issued at the time of collapse that stated that what occurred was expected to occur in light of the damage suffered.

The History Channel (Australia) to Air Loose Change on September 11!

Okay, Aussies, it's time to start complaining! Here's the advertisement for THCA's coverage of that day. Loose Change comes in near the end. Perhaps the Naudets should be notified of this?

I can't figure out why this guy's never been married.

The poor people married to these nutballs... I wonder what they would say if they read their partners' posts?

Must be a profoundly strong relationship if you're willing to drop it because they won't watch a video...

For my part I asked my girlfriend to watch LC, and she did. I was careful to make no comment beforehand. Afterwards she was very quiet. And her first question? "Is that stuff true?"

So then I introduced her to Gravy's Viewer Guide. Well. Let's just say she wasn't impressed with LC after that. After having seen United 93 (which really upset her a lot - she's such a gentle angel... ) she now gives me full approval to "kick their butts" in her own words.

Don't worry, there's always a bright side. From the same guy's post (my bolding):

I don't even do the dating scene anymore. I figure why date? Dating is usually a big charade to see if you are compatible with someone else to hopefully narrow down the field to eventually lead to marriage, children etc. I won't ever bring a child into this world considering the state of affairs we are now facing.

The only thing worse than a CT is a reproducing CT.

[mrfreeze]

I showed my g/f Screw Loose Change after she started wondering why I was sitting on the computer at strange hours reading this stuff. Her moral outrage at it was almost as high as mine.
