Yeah, that's right. One of the most well-known phrases attached to the Eisenhower presidency, and you're falling all over yourself trying to make it sound like you're schooling everyone here about it. Three posts trying to cram the notion into your critics' mouths that they've never heard the concept before you told them. Instead of your point always being to try to belittle or entrap people here, try making it, you know, a point.

Not at all, the opposite is the case. You knew, perhaps Yes it is one of the most well-known phrases attached to the Eisenhower presidency. Therefore why would I even attempt that? I was surprised to see indication that a member was not familiar with one of the most well-known phrases attached to the Eisenhower presidency. It appears it was true that the member had not heard of it before. I asked because its not the first time I've noticed such in the member's case. A matter of age could explain it. Or relatively less familiarity with the material. Who would not agree that it is surprising to see unfamiliarity with Ike's MIC since its one of the most well-known phrases attached to the Eisenhower presidency |

"Everyone"? "Your critics'"? "they"? He was inquiring if a single member who is known for starting threads mocking clueless conspiracy theorists really has never heard about Ike's "creation", and this is a legitimate inquiry given the context. I don't know why you feel addressed and inspired to "speak up" here, but I could imagine some reasons. |

Actually the 3 posts were quote/reply to a specific member for reason explained. Your failed attack actually made my point as in it is surprising someone here does not know of One of the most well-known phrases attached to the Eisenhower presidency. Thank you |

I want to go on record as thanking the intrepid posters here who actually opened the link and listened to that gumbo, so that I don't have to.

Why should you "have to"? To "debunk" it? None of the people who watched them even tried to, it's just far beyond that realm. I shared Mrs. Eisenhower's appearances not to mock her or to prove her wrong, but just for the love of the extraordinary, and agree with statements made by marplots and Fener Fan that they are jaw-dropping fascinating. Take it or leave it. ![]() |

Thats just plain counter intuitive. I was surprised to see a member not familiar with Ike's M.I.C. so I asked that member only about it (not "everyone").

The sooner this silly diversion ends, the better.
It does not matter who started it or who gets the last word - right now it's just bickering. |

In the new video I thought there was one offensive part, when she bragged about having once turned beer into water.

I always knew Ike had a pair of nuts on him, I just didn't think one would turn out to be his great-grand daughter.

So I was a bit bored and went to banned.video to see what AJ is up to these days and watched half an hour of him yelling at the guy with the horns we all saw sitting inside the capitol during that "storm" - the guy he referred to as "Q Shaman". What the guy was saying during the short time AJ was allowing him to speak was interesting enough to me to look up his video account that was shown at the end of the AJ segment. And what I found was bizarre enough to invite you to another high weirdness ride: Meet Captain America!

I agree with bruto's sentiment, if I get it correctly. It's like being told there's been a train wreck with no survivors. That is information worth knowing, and some people would be fascinated enough to go on site to observe the carnage, whereas others are glad to be spared that actual experience.
I, on the other hand, did watch a few minutes, and was not impressed. In my opinion, just a poor deluded person trained/coached enough to regurgitate new-age psychobabble in grandiose, yet essentially meaningless, generalities that impress the easily manipulated. This is most obvious when she says, "you know", as she speaks of her most ethereal concepts, in order to reinforce her own ignis fatuus. |
