Comment by Nikki on April 30, 2011 at 4:27pm: @ Vince, I'm open minded to many theories but I need to see more proof than just a video. There's evidence to back up HAARP and chemtrails. Yet, is every earthquake triggered by HAARP?And where is the evidence for Planet X, etc?

@ Doc, I took your comments as a compliment and you just confirmed that's how it was meant.

@ TLS, OK you're idea of a troublemaker is a little different than what I was thinking or what Doc was referring to.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on April 30, 2011 at 4:12pm: Thx nikki, but its true I am a trouble maker, always have been.

Vince I do read all the out there posts I just don't do a D-day style blast on em. I've watched all most all the 2012 planet x reptile documentary's out there. I do my own research and come to the conclusion that they are BS, my opinions are still not etched in stone if i see something thats new and solid I'm still flexible to change my mind.

Comment by Nikki on April 30, 2011 at 4:01pm: LS, I certainly was NOT referring to you as a troublemaker. In fact I agree with you on how Planet X, etc is affecting the truth movement...but while they may be the fringe, they aren't the troublemakers I was referring to either.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on April 30, 2011 at 3:34pm: If I'm a trouble maker we need many more like me to keep this movement grounded in reality. I'm not going to be "nice" or statesmen like as I'm not running for office to represent the moron public. Far to often nice has let this movement look a fool. Shape shifting reptiles, Planet X, Vatican assassins and 'its all the zionists' idiots. I'm not saying this post here is related to the aforementioned just that being tolerant and walking on egg shells isn't what this movement needs. If you disagree thats fine I'm still going to speak my mind.

Whats with the patronising post Doc? It's not like I cursed this guy out, I see this issue as nonsense so I put my 2 cents in.

Comment by Justin A Horne on April 30, 2011 at 2:01pm: I appreciate it Doc

Comment by Nikki on April 30, 2011 at 1:02pm: Thank you, Doc. We can't let a few troublemakers defeat our purpose here.

Comment by Justin A Horne on April 29, 2011 at 1:24pm: I didn't say be scared, i said read. Take from my post what you will, i said and be aware. Referring to your thugs, yes they do have enough "thugs" who are insidious enough to carry out such a plan, that is reality my friend; think AFRICOM. You misinterpreted my meaning and deemed it inflammatory fear mongering, which was not the intent. There is already a civil war going on in Nigeria, and the government would find a way to benefit from your blood; think about the real Civil War over the Nothern Tariff funded by the Rothschilds. As apart of the millenia generation and the progeny of former Black Panther freedom fighther, i detest our government and fear nothing but god! Again, you misinterpreted my blog post.

Comment by Nikki on April 29, 2011 at 1:21pm: TLS, you can't blame them for pondering this since it happened before. I posted these yesterday in the Gold & Silver group. One article says it might happen. But it didn't say not to buy metals, just to make sure you're prepared for the possibility. People who own considerable amounts store it in vaults out of the country. The other article gives many reasons why they don't think it will happen.

This article says it might happen.

This article doesn't think it will.

Comment by TheLasersShadow on April 29, 2011 at 12:21pm: I said something positive, its not going to happen. If you want to take it personal go ahead but I'm talking to the community as a whole.

The majority of what the government does is unconstitutional I'm not basing my statements on the legality of it. What I'm saying is this country is a powder keg and the last thing the government wants to do is give a righteous reason for a armed revolution.

Precious metals confiscation is not going to happen its BS they don't have enough thugs insane enough to give their lives. It would never fly in this day and age, period. Your the "negative" one saying be afraid of the unstoppable uber government (sarcasm), implying not to buy gold and silver.

More than enough men like myself are wide awake in this country and will blast the thugs out of their boots if they try it.

Comment by Justin A Horne on April 29, 2011 at 11:29am: First off, if you have nothing positive to say, say nothing at all. Second, you think the bankers wouldn't benefit from this? Third, my grandfather had no wealth or influence in the government; call it Jim Crow. There have been examples of government taking someone's CONSTITUTIONAL Right's and firing on them when they resist; look at the Move movement in Philadelphia. Fourth, don't try to intend on labeling ignorant because this could happen---because they have half the world is asleep. The intent was to show The Executive Order by good ol FDR and for them to be cognizant. The thing that really pisses me off is this Birther issue because its PROPAGANDA! Have a nice day sir.
