I've never started page 932 either.


Especially since 932 has a cosmic significance.
After all, 9=3**2.

Obviously a code indicating that something important is about to happen.
Come back tomorrow and I can tell you what it was predicting.

Since 9=3*3 I think this is going to be a very strange day.

Can't think of any special significance to 934, but nothing good can come from you leading three pages in row. Hopefully, it won't lead to Magnolia like stuff happening.

I remember that one! I had a young rabble rouser who worked for me who insisted that he dominate was supposed to be training (this was in the USN) about conspiracy theories and despite every attempt to get the training back on subject, he'd go right back to them. When he mentioned this particular attempt at world domination , I casually mentioned that I was affiliated with one of these groups, (go ahead and guess, but I'm not a alien, space or other, and theirs nothing noble or royal about me) and I hadn't gotten the memo. The ensuing laughter shut him down (for that day anyhow). And damned if he didn't report me to NCIS for "conspiring against the government and the constitution!


Did special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs came to see you?

Naw this was before his time. Some guy named "Vinnie" came to see me , then the "alledged douchebag" who reported him. They already had a file on him . Something about "subversive activity".

When I was working for Aeling Corp, back in the 70s, people were making all these gnarly spy movies. Every time a new one came out, people would start showing up for work with those Groucho Marx disguise noses, trenchcoats, aviator sunglasses, and paste code names on their office doors. Got a real nasty inter office memo from the department head when we were playing who shot JFK. He was Italian and got a bit torqued ... oh, no … you don’t think … no, no, couldn’t be …

NCIS is about as accurate as JAG was. As Bellasairo said when defending himself against a group of Real Navy JAG's , "I don't do documentaries. I entertain people". He himself is a former Marine. He knows better , but like all of us, he likes the money. And he generally portrays the military and his other subjects quite fondly.

My experinces with NIS (or later NCIS)? If it didn't involve a stooge with a wiretap, or they couldn't "coerce" a confession, they didn't like to play. And as I always told any sailors who worked for me , as sailors "NCIS is not our friends".

I've never figured out why NCIS would be in LA. Are there ANY Naval units there outside of Reservists or ROTC?

Why don't we create a "conspiracy theory" thread? We can put them all in one place? And the participants can high jack from each other. It would also be much easier to avoid.


Lo Baron provided this link on the PH conspiracy thread

http://www.conspiracycafe.net/forum/

Now we can all get current with what is really happening out there in the world.

That's exactly how the intel community worked back in the 70s, Bruce. Ordinary people working 9 to 5 at mundane and routine tasks. It was a lot like a bunch of geeks reverse engineering a competitor's "hot" new product and trying to figure out how to keep a step ahead. Weeks of mind numbing number crunching and analysis, days of dictation, typing and editing, all to generate a report that gets reviewed and classified (not really read) and stuck in a file somewhere where it's forgotten (if it isn't $hitcanned). If the Hollywood pukes ever visited a real community job sit they would have died from ennui.
Doing manly things, in a manly way;
on a ship all filled with
men, men, men, men - men, men .... (oop, sorry, got carried away there)

Status: offline 		In world war II it could be even more boring. A few years back my mother described her daily routine working in Army Intelligence - Economic Branch - China during 1944-1945. Everyday it was read through a stack of unfiltered intelligence reports out of China looking for anything that mentioned Japanese merchant ships in Chinese ports and type those into her own report and then pass the pile on to the next person who would be looking for info and compiling reports on something else. Human search engines.

Let him try! Not only am I retired from the Navy, I currently live on a USAF base! NOW there is a jurisdictional catfight that I'd pay money to see! It's sort of like living in DC, when a crime occurrs on Government property there is a rush to consult the agreements between agencies to see who's top dog on this particular parcel of real estate! It's always funny to see the Park police come out on top of FBI,DEA,Etc.,etc.

Recovering from bug acquired on the plane ride (most likely). Wife has now entered the bad phase of the disease.

Note to self: get the disease AFTER one's wife has had it to avoid whining.

BTW, there's a story over here i heard this morning where a woman on a Delta flight thought she smelled alcohol on the captains breath...he was given a test and came up negative...twenty minutes later, the day manager came on board and asked her to gather her things and get off the plane...the pilot and the crew didn't want her on the flight! are you effing kidding me?

Not sure anything would have helped. Just one of those sore throat/congestion/feel awful kind of viruses that leave you just animate enough to torment your spouse.

Actually she's been quite good, truth be told.....she's just not much in the way of company at the moment.

My play list is simple: early sixties Beatles, followed by late sixties Beatles, with solo Beatles sprinkled in-between. If I get tired of Beatles, I switch to Michael Buble'.
