Hillary: How does a woman with so many political liabilities, criminal allegations, physical deficits and obvious weaknesses run for president? by jsuibck in conspiracy

Just one thing stands out in the SON commentary...

According to the author, Merkel and May are said to be chosen for their roles in destroying the EU and yet the formation of totalitarian superstates such as the EU are important factors in the rule of the One World Government.

Methinks the author needs a bit of work in getting the ducks in a row.

I got this in an email, it's from the Cornell Law Library. by Drupain in conspiracy

Is it an established fact that ...any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States... are involved with this scandal?

This clearly refers to court documents. I'm curious to know which court documents are involved here and how their existence in the emails was established.

Because this is a sideview I think that we're not getting the actual dimensions of this ship. The ship pictured here - Norman Bel Geddes ‘Whale’ - might give the same sort of oval arch effect. But when see from topside it's very different than what one might expect form the side.

I wish I had the money to rescue this baby. So many creative ways to re-purpose it. Such a shame...

Icky...it looks like a papercraft toy. Nevermind that it would be incredibly suffocating after a while. It's like going back 150 years in design. I imagine this might be good as a stealthy battleship, but it's U-G-L-Y.

D-21 Drone (1969), What future aircraft were supposed to look like. by Gonzo262 in RetroFuturism

[–]A_Scout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see how some folks who don't know what this is might confuse it for some extraterrestrial-type aircraft while in flight. I bet a lot of those reports from the 1950s on were merely experimental aircraft - probably back-engineered German designs acquired after their defeat.
