Obama's citizenship is dubious at best. Don't care and I think it's fine that he's president as it is but I think he attended college as a foreign student.

From a citizenship standpoint, his mama is undeniably American and that's good enough for me.

I do, however, find it very likely that he used his father's nationality to get into college as a foreign student and that's why he'd never release his college records. As much as I abhor him as a president, I don't hold that against him. When you're a kid with his family background with a card to play that gets you an Ivy League degree, you play that card.

I don't believe any of the others listed, but I had a grandmother that went to her grave swearing the moon landings were fake.

The only one I truly believe is that LHO acted in conjunction with the mafia to kill JFK. He had connections with Marcello in New Orleans and the mafia had the want to get rid of JFK. Ruby killed LHO because they figured he would talk. Too much Italian in the mix for the mob not to have organized the hit.

No doubt Oswald killed JFK but I believe there was more to the story than him just being a crazed individual who organized and carried out the assassination alone. The fact that Jack Ruby silenced him within 48 hrs and had connection to the Mafia has always aroused suspicion in my eyes. But we will never know the whole truth. Some secrets are destined to remain buried for eternity.

Not to be one of those, but I think we could have stopped 9/11.

I also think FEMA is building concentration camps, but I don't think they're concentration camps persay, just a way to confine a certain segment of the population like during WW2. That itself is pretty concerning.

And we can stop the next one, no problem. Just nuke the entire Muslim world - problem solved. No? What's your hindsight solution, then?

Where? If it's a big program then surely the site of at least one is known, right?

FWIW FEMA has been involved in some pretty wacky stuff. My first project in my day job back before the Russkies wimped out was designing a blast door for the Keyworker Blast Shelter program. Google it, and be amazed. But I can't see them doing this. Or rather, I maybe kinda sorta could, if they could get away with it. But they can't.

I'm not trying to be tin foil hat guy, but I'm a big aviation enthusiast and pilot. Sometimes I sit outside of airports in random cities. Within the last fifteen years (given, after 9/11) we've gone from having barbed wire on top of airport fences facing outwards to keep people out to having V shaped barbed wire things that can theoretically keep people in and out at most airports.

ETA: I never noticed it until I was comparing pictures I took at McCarran Airport back in high school versus today.

Additional ETA: They also reinforced the fences with anchored cables to keep vehicles from running the fence, which doesn't make a whole ton of sense either. Besides a vehicle running the fence and going on to the runway after going through the huge drainage ditches near runways, what's the big issue? Running the fence with a Ryder truck and winding up next to the terminal to bomb it?

Just a guess, and it really is just a guess. But my guess is the "keep 'em in" part of the V is to stop terrorists and dingbats from escaping. Makes sense, anyway.

I didn't really understand this part. Yeah drainage ditches might stop many vehicles... unless they don't. (If I were a terrorist and had scoped out an airport and noticed drainage ditches, I'd visit the site early and lay down a fiberglass bridge that could sustain my vehicle weight. And nobody would notice, because nobody as far as I know monitors this sort of thing. And because I'm devious.) But surely not all airport layouts are identical? (My guess is HS has specified minimum security measures that aren't negotiable.) Again, I don't know. But more to the point, what would be the point of cables for keeping people in? Surely if they're detainees they wouldn't be allowed access to vehicles, right?

It sounds like you're theorizing airports being used as detainee camps. I pictured something with quite a bit more subterfuge. Imagine the outcry if this happened, even after another 9/11. That ain't happening.

C'mon! Come up with a scenario where railroads mean anything! What possible difference does a railroad make?

I read a blog a while back how the hit song "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen", along with "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, I think, are actually songs trying to convince children to lose their virginity. I mean, it was some batshit crazy bitch likely from a Pentecostal church, but it was an interesting theory. The lyrics certainly seem to match up.
