1. Your comment is BS.
Edited on Fri Feb-11-11 11:31 PM by RandomThoughts
The giving of people the feeling of power of self rule, can't not be taken away, and they did not plan the wave from other effects.

Some may have added to many concepts for better thoughts, some might be trying to route things to results they want. But that was not a Oligarchy planned event.

2. Yeah THEY control EVERYTHING

:tinfoilhat:

You are seriously misunderstanding what happened. And about the signs in English - I don't even know what to say. You can't think of any reasons people might understand and speak English other than that they were CIA plants? :eyes:

11. It is possible all the news and Internet is CGI
And nothing is happening in Egypt.

But if you go that far, you have to say it is possible all existence is only the person and everything is CGI.



If any of the crowd images are true, then it was not inspired to oppress people, since any feeling of accomplishment of freedom helps people. There is the issue of some trying to side track it, and trying to co-opt it for other reasons, that happens alot, but it was not some preplanned operation by a group of people. But then again all the NWO and Bilderberg stuff is mostly supernatural also, but there is good side supernatural and worse parts of that also.


I do agree much of the news is not real, but at some point the non supernatural conspiracy theory does not hold as possible.

24. Yes I bet that's right - the CIA has manufactured EVERYTHING. All reality.
Might as well just submit, right? Because they control the very buzz of your electrons. :rofl:

31. I was not saying that was the case.
I was showing you how you break your argument. There is a reasoned way out of that delusion, I though you were in that delusion.

At some point 'the conspiracy' would have no end, and could not be people.

That has nothing to do with the CIA, but there is a trap that tries to fool some people with that.

I figured you might be in that trap, I see you were trying to put others in that trap.


If they controlled me, they would not have to try and get me to give up some free will. Something that really did control, would not need you to think that, unless the real motive is despair, and that motive would not be needed for control, but uses the illusion of control to try to create its motive of creating despair.


Posted on that long ago.

4. Sometimes stuff
happens that the CIA isn't behind.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes the will of the people doesn't need extra super secret help to get a job done.

And people do speak English there.

7. Those sings in english were produced at Langley I guess
and Egyptians, like most people who GO TO COLLEGES and use FACEBOOK, around the world, could not know it... never mind it is the language of science and commerce.

Believe it or not those kids did start learning english about the same time I did... around 11, at the latest. Guaranteed.

Edward Zaid, you should read him...

15. He installed his Stasi VP and before that his son was to take over
I don't think the CIA could get that kind of turnout.
Look how the old hands were ignored and the CIA acted like idiots for BushCo. They couldn't pull that off.

18. Signs in English? Silly. Many foreigners speak better English than most Americans.
It's a required course in many schools throughout the world.

19. And the English language press appreciates it, as well,
which never hurts when you want coverage for your event.

22. Well.
"Many foreigners speak better English than most Americans". I would not go that far. But certainly better than 99% of teabaggers.

26. From my understanding
Many Egyptians are multilingual.
Most speak English, there was the colonial period when rulers were anything but native.
They have a huge interest in tourism and have to communicate with the provincials from other countries.

and seeing their wages go down and the cost of food go up.

29. "We are here to defend the roses that came up out of the Egyptian soil
and to protect them and their revolution. We don't need new leaders. The young people are the leaders. We are not looking for names." -- 60ish protester at Tahrir Thursday night, filmed by DemocracyNow!.
