eye-witness23 [Conspiracy Theory] Some of you will believe any crackpot writer. I had a friend in the Navy stationed at the Navy Annex on a rise above and west of the Pentagon. He was outside smoking a cigarette when the plane went right over his head into the Pentagon.

[‘Refuses to use bike path“] It seems like the Lance Armstrong Lycra bicycle riders are more concerned about working on their cardio than getting run over by a person driving and texting or drinking on US 1. Oh well, it is better to look good than to feel good. And those outfits are so pretty.
9/11] They have 4 planes missing, how else can that happen unless United and American were part of the conspiracy? So under the conspiracy that United or American didn’t slam into the WTC or Pentagon, which airline employee conspirator is going to take the hit with FAA for filing a false Statement (18 USC 1001) and subsequent lies. There is a paper trail signature for every required step with a human being (witness) getting the necessary paperwork.

[Joke Friday] Pat and Mike were the best of friends, They hung around together, they worked together. They lived together, they drank together. Pat got sick and was dying, he knew he was dying. He said to his lifelong friend Mike “Mike I’m dying will you do me one favor? “Sure” Mike says, “anything”. Pat says “I have this bottle of Jameson’s here, our favorite whiskey, will you pour it on my grave when I’m gone?” “Sure” Mike says.
Pat passes away and Mike brings the bottle of whiskey to the funeral. He waits at the grave till all the mourners are gone. He takes out the bottle and looks at the grave, he looks at the bottle and then down at the grave again and says “Pat, do you mind if I pass this through my kidneys first?”

TireCodeNumbersWhoever gets these 2 free Goodyear tires with 75% tread left should check the date code on the tires. All tires have an expiration date. You can find it on the tire in a oblong circle with four numbers. The first two are the week of the year the tires were manufactured, and the last two are the year. In my experience free is usually not free, but good luck.

preacher bibleAny interpretation of Apocalypse or the end of times Biblical prophecy inevitably has an axe to grind for its own brand of faith. A series of presentations on “Islam & Christianity in Bible Prophecy” by an SDA (Seventh Day Adventists) preacher from Keene, TX received some pushback in Key West, FL, even before he was fully heard. This much was to be expected, as folks are suspicious of the true intentions behind such religious diatribe. What is the real aim of these merchants of dreams: attempt to gain converts, donations to the religious cause, exposing eschatology of mainstream religions or just self-aggrandizing with the aid of an old, worn out prophecy line? I hoped this pastor would also have had the guts to delve into subjects such as usury and blasphemy in mainline religions and to put it in a historical context. Unfortunately, he chose the easy way out and stuck to the prophecy line.

Conspiracy theories are just science for dummies. Read the appropriately titled, How Not To Suck. The nut jobs won’t read it. But it wasn’t meant for them. Normal people deserve to see reasoned answers so they don’t start questioning their own common sense. That’s where the crazy starts.  Link

If it got through FKAA’s security screening, it is probably all over the place, so you may get it from another company or individual.

[Phishing] Hello,
I really don’t want to disturb you about this but I had no one else to turn to. I’m in ukraine to see my cousin who lives here. she’s critically ill and needs family support. She is diagnosed with (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) – a type of Blood Cancer in 2005 and she had been undergoing treatment since. The chemotherapy treatment was going fine until last week when the doctor noticed that the disease has relapsed and the only way she can survive is by undergoing a BMT (Bone Marrow Transplantation). My sister whose marrow matched she has agreed to be the donor and she will be undergoing the transplant soon at the Salvator Mundi International Hospital here in Kharkov . The estimate for the transplant is $8,000 USD. I have already spent approx. $5,200 USD towards her treatment. Since the amount is huge, I request you to lend out a helping hand and support me with a loan of $2,800 USD. Since I don’t know your financial status at the moment, any kind of help whatsoever will be deeply appreciated. Your help and support will give her a chance to live a normal life once again. There is nothing called a small help when the heart giving it is big. Any amount will be accepted with gratitude and paid back after the surgery. Please let me know how much you can loan me so that i can provide you with the details to get the money to me and, I will pay back as soon as I return.
Thanks for your help

moslim praying[Islam] Down the street from me in the Florida Keys lived a Muslim family from Bangladesh. I invited the head of the household in one day to talk about events of the day. Hanging on the wall by the table where we sat in my living room was a tapestry I kept since 1959 and that depicted the Kasbah area where I lived as a kid for a couple of years in Tunis. When he saw the minarets, he really opened up to lambaste President Bush for killing Muslims in Iraq. I listened politely until I escorted him to the driveway where I gave him my somber assessment. Islam is not a religion as much as it is a cult that is at war with everybody else. He knew he was found and left with the tail between his legs.
He certainly was not about to confirm what was the center of gravity of Islam as a whole, though I suspect every good Muslim fully knows. It is about Al Quds, also known as Jerusalem. The golden dome mosque that now sits atop the Solomon temple is a vivid reminder of Islam’s supremacy and irredentism aims. The pretext that the city is holy to Islam by virtue of conquest is tantamount to saying “Possession is 9/10ths of the law.” Islam’s war stance has to vanquish all others before their Allah will cede them their paradise on earth.

fascism23
[Fascism
] Isn’t this the road we are being lead down? Are we really blind to what’s happening around us? No one seems to care about what’s happening. No one speaks up.
[Conspiracy] Chicken or the egg? Either those 4 passenger planes were destroyed or they weren’t. None of the other conspiracy guys even bring this up. What happened to the 4 passenger jets worth close to a billion dollars and what happened to the passengers on a route that is public knowledge and routings that were used daily. Recall the Airlines took billions in losses after 9/11. You think all those shareholders just took it in the shorts?How did those aircraft get moved to get lost? So there is no record of tail number X, flight X, filing flight plans to go from A to B, flight crews, fuel, maintenance, and of course no one knows anything!I worked with billion dollar companies and nothing gets done without their legal department reviewing the contract. So some lawyer is telling the CEO to quietly dispose of 4 jets? get sued for billions and the government will reimburse them like nothing happened?

Further, publicly traded companies answer to the SEC, all public info.

Further, any part on that jet has tracking numbers in the form of serial numbers. So every mechanical part could never be re-used. None. That’s how it works but United and American would have to take a billion dollar write-off (loss) to explain those jets. All public info to the SEC, FAA, shareholders, insurance companies. Again chicken or the egg?

Police-Premis-Check
[Police Premise Check] You may want to keep this for future use and print out copies. This is the Premise Check request for the Sheriff’s Office so they can patrol your property if you are away. They do check things and do drive by inspections.  This may be a different form than your local police use, but you get the idea.
[Sewers] The Circuit Court hearing for an emergency injunction against FKAA sewer construction without legal permits was heard, and the ruling has been promised by next Friday. DEP had two lawyers and FKAA had two lawyers for a total of four on that side of the room. Dump the Pumps, Inc. had one lawyer, Robert Hartsell. If the sewer system is so great; and the arguments against it so weak; and the actions of FKAA and DEP so above reproach, how come it takes 4 lawyers to defend them? As somebody recently commented, CRWS really stands for the Chernobyl Regional Wastewater System. Dump the Pumps is an all volunteer group of your friends and neighbors, but they have big legal bills to pay and the bills continue to roll in. If you have not thrown another contribution into this righteous cause recently, please do so. http://dumpthepumps.com
