Not to those who have been corrupted...Hitler/Stalin/Mao all thought they were doing the "right" thing...

You went straight to Godwin's Law there! I don't think any of those gentlemen would be wasting all that much time on social media. Comparatively, it's a benign form of manipulation, and there will be plenty of people from the other side doing their bit to redress the balance.

Here is the leaked memo from CTR about the corrupt strategy the Dems are using. It is psychological control on a massive level, which has been going on for years, but is ramped up in this election due to non-establishment candidate.

I imagine the Trump campaign would try something like that but they aren't organised enough. Instead they get people like Drudge and Alex Jones to spread smears that only reach a very small constituency of like 'minds'. It's not corrupt, it's disciplined and smart to try and exploit all the opportunities available.

George knows

George thinks MV has hacked his PC and put tiny cameras in his ethernet cable. George spoke to Damon and didn't know that it was Spock. George thinks Noory is still going to make him a TV star. He couldn't find his fat arse with both hands and a map.

The sexual imagination of the Englishman is prosaic and often shockingly puerile.

You were paid for your time, though, so stop complaining.

Who ? Heather the 41 years old prune

There's nothing wrong with being in your 40s, you impudent rascal. I imagine the complexion of the typical Mongolian maiden is pretty leathery, but it's hard to tell under those beards. I don't suppose you're all that fussy on the steppe, and you probably have to rely on a 'comfort yak' from time to time when you get lonely.

Hahaha I think we can agree on that.  I was more interested in annoying Shreddy with Frenchisms, and to present him with a face of marble-carved tranquility to replace the gibbering, credulous fools of his imagination.

In reply to your other post, I think there's a point at which steadfastly maintaining a position which can never be proven (see Shreddy's helpful comments about proving a negative) and is increasingly inconsequential becomes slightly gauche.  As this is a matter of taste opinions will vary considerably, but for me that is about now.

No more gauche than scattering gallicisms about the place, though, which I find rather declassé; but chacun à son gout. For me, Art stopped doing his best work well over a decade ago. I listened to the first couple of weeks before my interest petered out, with the same old guests and a general feeling of it being merely a retread of the old days. I wasn't invested in it in the way some were and I didn't really care when it stopped because I hadn't expected it to last very long. The only interest it held for me was the way that some were prepared to accept an obvious fib.

Hell the space program is unfarmed territory AFAIK, he's never mentioned it. 

I submitted a treatment to Paramount last year about the further adventures of Senda and Kathy aboard the International Space Station, but they said it had already been done.

You are forgetting the story of the rifle shots from the car, which he placed in the mouth of a helpful neighbor.  I suppose that is another "tell"?  At this rate, I'm convinced you'd debate the weather out my own window, or at least use my report to reveal penetrating insights into my character.

Art certainly didn't take the threat the same way I would have, but I have shoulder-holstered relatives who'd probably prefer to act out a Quick Draw McGraw fantasy than cower or call for help.  You may call them total idiots, but I won't test 'em.

I think the rifle shots from the car probably happened but he read too much into it. It's not much of a threat if he wasn't aware of it and needed to hear about it second-hand from a neighbour. I'm pretty sure he said that there was a bit of disturbance that night anyway, so it was almost certainly people who'd had a bit too much to drink trying to stir up the neighbourhood rather than anything directed specifically at him. I think the whole story came out of a combination of paranoia, boredom (with the show) and isolation of one kind or another. When you are in that frame of mind then all sorts of things can seem like good ideas. I'm sure he saw the numbers for the show, which tailed off alarmingly after the first few weeks, and felt discouraged by that as well.

There's nothing wrong with being open-minded, as the man said, as long as it's not so open that your brain falls out. If someone has a history of quitting for various reasons then it's fair to subject his claims to a bit more scrutiny than someone you know nothing about. He made no effort to say that the show was on hiatus, it was a case of "well, that's that!" and he hasn't been back, apart from one show. I don't condemn your lack of cynicism, we need more of that sort of thing. On a separate point, I have a very nice bridge (ONO) that I'm trying to sell to a sucker discerning buyer. Interested?

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 21, 2016, 10:19:12 AM
If you are content to include "filing a false report about being shot at" under your general "people lie all the time", you are one of those cynics.  I am happy with my diagnosis.

He didn't claim he had been shot at, he said it might have been a fire cracker. That's a classic 'tell', he wasn't confident enough  to really go for it. He only said that he'd been shot at later, when he was interviewed by MV. If it's cynicism to recognise that some people have a tendency to confabulate, then so be it.

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 21, 2016, 10:19:12 AM
Encouraged by the heroic sweep of your generalizing broom, I shall place Art's insouciance under "Art is an odd guy", with references to mistrust of authority, heroic defiance, and good old Western self-reliance.

You can be insouciant on your own account, you're not entitled to be insouciant with the safety of other people. He's not to know whether a 'stalker' is a threat to just himself or also the lives of his wife and daughter. The fact that he didn't seem particularly concerned shows that he's either 1. a total idiot, or 2. the threat wasn't serious to begin with.

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 21, 2016, 09:31:50 AM
Hypothesizing a scenario that places his back against the wall seems, to me, to require more conjecture than simply accepting the story.  Allowing that Art is an odd guy could just as easily cover the improbabilities Yorkie points out.

If there was a danger, however slight, from a stalker, never mind being on the air, he had a duty to his family to make sure that the threat was stopped. His reason for not taking it further with the police was that he didn't want to make things worse. But he claimed to have been shot at, how could things get any worse? If that was true, he's not just odd he's totally irresponsible. Logically, it makes no sense. I think Occam's Razor gets blunted far more with your view of things than mine.

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 21, 2016, 09:31:50 AM
I would take a dimmer view if I suspected Art of defrauding me, I wanted to have my deep cynicism regarding human nature confirmed, or I just didn't like Art.  But that would say more about me than the old guy in the desert.

That's rather overblown. You don't need to have your faith in human nature shaken just because one individual has been less than honest, however much you might happen to like him. People lie all the time, for one reason or another. We're all fallilble. Well, the rest of you are anyway.

Making friends and influencing people. The Trump way.

That was a real misjudgement. Talking about not understanding the mood of the room. I know Trump likes to talk about the jobs he's going to create, well I think a vacancy has just opened up to be Trump's new speechwriter because some of those jokes were really bizarre, no wonder he got booed. When you put him in the soup and fish at one of these functions, he really does have an uncanny resemblance to a glazed ham.

Yes, but Art's report doesn't require the same leaps of credulity as your smurf.  Why I shouldn't treat it like I would a similar claim by my slightly crazy neighbor (i. e. cautious acceptance) hasn't been explained to me.

When you have someone who has a history of quitting then you are less inclined to put much faith in what they say on the next occasion they do something like that. The whole thing had a feeling of 'the dog ate my homework' from the beginning. Art's an odd guy and he was looking for an out, but he wanted to use something that would involve less blowback then simply saying his back was playing up or he had just had enough. People do inexplicably things all the time when they feel their backs are against the wall.

Not much sorry for her is really need it.

You certainly write the English good. Reading that made me feel like I was hearing Welsh spoken while suffering from a hangover. I'm afraid you're going to have to attend an intensive session in BellGab remedial classes if you want to reach the high standard required on here. Unless one of your yaks has got loose and started posting again.

Quote from: K_Dubb on October 20, 2016, 03:15:46 PM
I have the same questions you guys do about the stalker, but no evidence has emerged showing Art lied about it. 

I keep pointing this fact out until I'm blue in the hair (at least it goes well with my buttery complexion) - it's very difficult, if not impossible, to prove a negative. No, nobody can say that he lied, just as we can't prove that the universe isn't sitting on the back of a giant smurf called Barry. We don't have to see his trousers aflame to conclude that he was telling fibs.

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on October 20, 2016, 07:41:47 AM
I watched the BBC scrolling text. For a BBC reporter to say that Trump has at best, a very loose understanding of foreign affairs is quite damning.

But for Trump to basically say he's leaving options open when the election result comes through (on the 29th?) because he's convinced the result will be rigged against him, essentially means as far as he's concerned, if he loses its because the whole basis on which the USA was built,  counts for zero; because he lost!

Anyone still believe he wouldn't be a despotic tyrant if he was POTUS? Seriously?

The biggest insult in Trump's armoury, his 'go to', is to call someone a loser. He probably realises that he is unlikely to win and needs some excuse because his ego can't cope with losing. The only reason he lost was because it was a rigged game. This debate seemed less weird than the other ones but I think it showed up how little Trump really has in terms of ideas. Hillary might not be all that appealing but at least she talks in substantive terms, rather than DT basing everything on cutting taxes to the bone and then hoping that everything will be lovely. He's also like a petulant little girl, he can't take any sort of criticism but snaps back with the sort of lame stuff that would shame a 5-year-old.

It's the 19th of the month and Senda's already out of money to buy food for the month.  So what's his plan?  He's anxiously awaiting November 1st to use his SSI check to buy more Halloween crap at clearance prices.

I don't know how he's going to fund his trip to AlienCon if he's flat broke already. No doubt this will be the prelude to another grift, although he must be running out of suckers by now surely? The more  you see of Senda, the more  you think that he ought to be under supervision. He clearly can't be trusted to take care of himself and his only 'friends' are that moth-eaten collection of persons, the Circle of Trust (plus Justin).

Damn clickbait thread title! I was hoping it referred to Michael Horn, who is a 'suspicious ufologist' if ever there were one.

All life has value even Falkies [?]

Discuss.

Rally Squirrel nailed it the other day. Senda was a spoiled child and now he's a spoiled 'adult'. He will never succeed at anything because he's unable to put in any effort. He can't have normal human relationships because of his superiority complex. The only worth someone has in his eyes is the extent to which they can be manipulated as an easy mark. All well-meaning advice is rejected simply because it would involve initiating changes in his life. Even his health problems are mostly self-inflicted; I'm sure he's been told repeatedly to lose weight but he doesn't want to know because being decrepit is the way he justifies his miserable life.

Quote from: Segundus on October 16, 2016, 05:06:12 AM
Author Jon Ronson spent some time with Jones crashing the Bohemian Grove with a small group.  Ronson seems to think Jones is certifiable.  What you see is authentic, not an act.

I'm half fascinated and half bored by Alex Jones. I don't think he's a lunatic, just very cynical and shrewd. He's created his own special brand of paranoia and now uses that to flog all these vitamin supplements on his website. He makes a lot of money, and you couldn't do that if you were a swivel-eyed loon. He's totally unscrupulous, though, and will say almost anything. I wonder if being so pro-Trump might cost him in the end, but I imagine that he is banking on his audience not being discerning enough to care one way or the other. He's basically just a big bag of wind with a very thin act, but he manages to make it work for him, and the occasional rants he goes on where he totally loses it are very entertaining, but at the same time I'm sure they are calculated to draw attention. Even he thought he went a bit far the other day by comparing Hillary and Obama to 'literal demons from Hell', so he obviously has at least one eye on the reactions he gets from other people.

I look forward to hearing this abortion of a show when someone can be bothered to get their finger out and post the bloody thing. It's a pity that jaz wasn't involved - one half of the most revered podcasting duo in the business, the 'Fred and Ginger' of internet amateur hackery - but I guess we ought to be grateful for small mercies. In short, I am sure it was rotten and look forward to having my suspicions confirmed in due course.

By the way, here's a picture of jaz and 'friend'.

Quote from: MichaelHorn on October 14, 2016, 09:58:52 PM
Ah, my sad, fearful, self-loathing friend, come, step out into the light with your brilliant (copy/paste) sophistry saturated assertions, own it all in your own name!

If you ever got together and did a podcast with George Senda I confidently predict the universe would explode under the weight of your combined self-regard and retardation. I know you can't help looking like a penis, but you don't also have to be such a petulant knobhead in word and deed. At some point you will arrive at the realisation that you have wasted your life pimping out a one-armed con-artist, after which you will - with any luck - blow your phallic head off.

I hope this message finds you well. As for that stuff about hiding behind fake names, I quite agree.

I've long thought (seated smugly in my armchair)  that Senda suffers from some form of narcissitic personality disorder. 

The WHO has a list of personality traits for those with paranoid personality disorder. I put the Senda-specific ones in bold:

1.excessive sensitivity to setbacks and rebuffs;

2.tendency to bear grudges persistently, i.e. refusal to forgive insults and injuries or slights;

3.suspiciousness and a pervasive tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous;

4.a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights out of keeping with the actual situation;

5.recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding sexual fidelity of spouse or sexual partner;

6.tendency to experience excessive self-importance, manifest in a persistent self-referential attitude;

7.preoccupation with unsubstantiated "conspiratorial" explanations of events both immediate to the patient and in the world at large.

You need three to qualify, and I think he has all but one of the items listed there. Fuck a honey-smeared Senda with a steam engine covered in fire ants.
