This was a new one that gave me a laugh, but then I realised there are probably people who believe it... [image]local://upfiles/34194/23CFD587489346FCB1E814FB6F183201.jpg[/image]

Has to be a joke. I hope.

I believe 1st turn bonus move for KB can cover that distance [:D]

Bollocks! First refuel in Vichy's Madagascar or Vichy's Kerguelen Islands Second refuel in neutral Argentina No one saw this coming Hence the Dec 7 surprise

tolsdorff -> RE: OT: Latest PH conspiracy theory (8/24/2019 10:19:09 AM)
obviously it was a joke . Apparently 3 years ago a lot of people took this joke and the humorous group it was part of rather seriously, which is kind of disturbing in itself.

it was not the Japanese [image]local://upfiles/41287/B046EAF47ED6483CA5D7707F13ED1857.jpg[/image]

Considering the education and indoctrination of some young people today, I do believe that the person may have been serious. I saw an anti-gun person talking on television about how when the high capacity magazines were used up that there would be no more. This person was serious and I believe educated as well.

[image]local://upfiles/34194/23CFD587489346FCB1E814FB6F183201.jpg[/image] warspite1 I'm not so sure. I've checked the range of the Japanese ships and a Japanese Zero and - even with refuelling - this looks a tall order. I wonder why this hasn't been picked up by historians before? But while I agree that there is something fishy about the original version we've been told for 80 years, I don't think this was an inside job by the Americans. I suspect the British and the malevolent hand of Churchill is at play here. I further suspect that the British allowed their bases at Singapore, Ceylon, East Africa, South Africa, and Canada to refuel and replenish the Japanese task force to allow for an attack. The rationale is simple. This helps get the US in the war - a stated aim of Churchill from day 1. I think we've blown this one apart. The historians who've sold us a pup for 80-years all have egg on their faces now.

Did Snopes fact check this? Edit to add: And did Babylon Bee fact check Snopes' fact check?

It was Germans dressed in Japanese uniforms, flying German planes painted with the rising sun. They were part of a German-American airshow that mysteriously disappeared from California, under the command of Charles Lindbergh and Eddie Rickenbacker.

Do you realize how small India is on that map? Why, it will easily fit into Greenland with room to spare. Even China looks like it could fit into Greenland.

Canoerebel -> RE: OT: Latest PH conspiracy theory (8/24/2019 4:30:47 PM)
You guys are all barking up the wrong tree. These guys aren't talking about the '41 attack on Pearl Harbor. Wake up and smell the roses. [image]local://upfiles/8143/56FAC2689B2648FEBA6F02A9283EE5D9.jpg[/image]

You are so right! In 1931, only the great Italian fascist Italo Balbo could have flown this distance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decennial_Air_Cruise

RangerJoe -> RE: OT: Latest PH conspiracy theory (8/30/2019 9:34:13 PM)
Truman wanted it first.

RangerJoe -> RE: OT: Latest PH conspiracy theory (8/30/2019 11:00:00 PM)
It is not, the US did not buy Greenland but made some special deals. I knew someone who helped build Thule AFB.

quote: ORIGINAL: RangerJoe It is not, the US did not buy Greenland but made some special deals. I knew someone who helped build Thule AFB. He should have built more hangar space for visiting aircraft! Our C-130 came in at dusk from temps around -70�F at altitude. The aircraft skin was very cold and Thule had some fog moving in from the sea. No hangar space was available so the aircraft sat on the tarmack. When we went to get the aircraft ready for departure at around 5:00 AM, the aircraft was covered with ice, about a half inch thick on the wings. The fog had disappeared but the ice was not going to leave soon so we had to get up on the wings and very carefully use the head of floor brooms to tap the ice until it cracked and broke off. All the while our foothold was very tenuous and several times we almost had someone slip off. Do you know how big the surface of a C-130 wing is! An hour or so into the process a US aircraft left the nice warm hangar and our C-130 was towed in. We still had to bang away for a couple of hours but the warmth helped weaken the ice and eventually it sloughed off in large sections. So we eventually were able to depart several hours late on our four hour trip to Alert, but the delay meant we could no longer come back to Thule after and had to fly a very long day to Trenton - another 13 hours. We exceeded some crew duty limits there!

A receiving ship is where new naval personal report and are quartered.

The earler attack was much worse. It destroyed all 200 cv we had at pearl and every sub. It was devistating as they also hit hanger 19 were the alien space ship was that we were deconstruction so we had to use bulleta instead of lasers.
