Hartmann: Midwest earthquake conspiracy theory
« on: April 18, 2008, 12:01:46 PM »
Most of the DUmmies that have responded so far have shot this down but I wonder how long before the real nutjobs pop in.

Hartmann: Midwest earthquake conspiracy theory
   
Did anyone listen to the story from the Russian media that Thom Hartmann just read? Holy shit!

This is just nuts but the short version they are claiming was that a US bomber was taken down by dissident forces within our military, that Northcom has been overtaken, and that we have a civil war within our military.

Does anyone have anything on this? It sounds totally off the wall, but WTF isn't off the wall, or out of the range of possibility in the past 8 years?

12. They probably think that it was some sort of Tesla weapon
   
That was used against the bomber and inadvertently caused the earthquake. Although I haven't read the story.



There's one already.

6. I think that's a reach

Umm anybody with two brain cells?
25 years ago we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope.  Now we have Obama, no hope and no cash.

OOOPS ! I guess I had better put the old Tesla coil back in storage.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

The DUmmies read Pravda religiously.
