    Have you read all the falaffle about zionism and the olympics? The logo spelling ZION etc... Either way, the olympics thing doesn't really interest me or have any significance outside of a sporting event. H5N1 and China is more intriguing in relation to the NWO agenda of population reduction, but that would be for another thread my friend! :)

    Er it's hippy numerology crap?
    Bread & Circuses?

    We've had the olympics every four years for the previous century or so (barring WW1 and WW2) Suggesting that this particular olympics is being staged for "bread and circuses" exposes a blatant ignorance of the historical significance and regular repetition.

    But please go on and explain how this olympics is different.
    any theories, significance of numbers, shutting down large areas of production in China, Global recession imminent? what do ye think, theories please :)


    /QUOTE]

    They're shutting down industry around the olympics because of air pollution, anyone whose been to china can tell you about this.

    Do you have a point here Mahatma?

    Whats more plausible that a Zionist conspiracy theory would "advertise" themselves in a logo for the worlds largest sporting event? Or a paranoid racist reads something into a piece of bad graphic design.

    This is honestly pathetic.

    Yup, not saying I buy into it.. just contributing to the spirit of the thread.

    The hippies have corrupted the basics of numerology, but there is still some form of significance attached to the numbers.

    did I say it was being staged as Bread and circusses, no, but it maybe used as a convenient distraction, good point to pull the plug on the economy when everyone is watchin this.

    what sort of knock on effect will the shutting down of Chinese manufacturing industries have on the rest of the global economy tho, how many factorys will have to shut down globaly when they start to run short of supplies?

    have a look at your own answer to Kernel, the very fact that you jumped on the Racist card imediatley says that yes it is quite plausible that the Zionist movement would have the nads to do something like that.

    they count on the incredulity of Sheeple like yerself, people who are absolutely convinced that they are the ones who know the truth cos they read it in the papers/saw some 'expert' rolled out on telly to reassure them that they're right.

    By which you mean, you have no idea what you are on about yes?

    I think we've proved by your "year zero" ideals on the economics thread that you are the last person to be making suggestions as to whats plausible economic theory.

    You do understand that it's the Beijing Olympics and not the entirety of China? Right? The entire country isn't shutting down for two weeks? 1 Billion people aren't downing tools for a couple of weeks.
    have a look at your own answer to Kernel, the very fact that you jumped on the Racist card imediatley says that yes it is quite plausible that the Zionist movement would have the nads to do something like that.

    Do something like "that"? What are they trying to do? "I know we're a giant secret Zionist society, I know lets advertise ourselves subliminally in the Olympics logo". Why?

    they count on the incredulity of Sheeple like yerself, people who are absolutely convinced that they are the ones who know the truth cos they read it in the papers/saw some 'expert' rolled out on telly to reassure them that they're right.

    No it's more I laugh at the inanity of the arguments presented here.

    How's that suitcase nuke theory working out for you again?

    Hence the askin of questions, that too difficult a concept for you?

    Really what have we managed to prove, the Economics 'Experts' here on boards cant really explain anything, your a Troll, the entire economy is built on some rather shakey foundations, if you cant make your point clearly just be condescending and patronisin till the asker of the difficult question gets bored and buggers off?

    no not just Beijing, the four provinces around Beijing, which is a very large industrial area, so maybe not all 1 Billion people, but a fair chunk of em are downing tools, you dont think this is gonna effect the global economy, have a look around you, how many of the devices you see in whatever room you are in have ben made in China or have component parts made in China?

    Typical 'Debunker' tactic -I cant add anything to this debate so I'll derail it-

    how many times do we have to ASK

    please

    I think you are proving that the concept of "there are no stupid questions" as faulty.

    No several posters asked some questions, got some polite and well informed answers from several posters. You kept asking the question "But why?" over and over again, and your alternative system that "we should, like grow all our own food man" got laughed out of it.

    Not my fault you are willfully obtuse.

    Even if you could provide evidence to support this claim, surely it's obvious that they would up capacity in the previous months to ensure a stockpile that there was no crisis during this alleged downtools?
    WHY??

    I'm sorry, Mahatma are you taking a worldview of a GI Joe cartoon from the 80s. If, if, a big IF, if there was a giant international Zionist conspiracy theory, why for advertise it.

    Please explain their mentality, in light of your dazzling insight.

    please

    What exactly have you added to this "debate" aside from purile speculation, racist assertions, and uninformed and ignorant nonsense?

    To clarify some points for you.

    1) Why would a global Zionist conspiracy theory advertise themselves at the 2012 Olympics?

    2) Why would China cripple their industrial sector during the Olympics they have been stage managing for over a decade?

    3) What kind of bull**** nonsense in numerology?

    whoa, back up a second, where did I make 'Racist Assertions'?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,486 ✭✭✭miju


    mahatma your giving as good as your getting as far as I can see across a few of those threads.

    may I suggest your both try and coolo down a bit :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    Miju, I am being baited here, tis requirin large amounts of restraint to not call Diogeness a tirrade of apt names.

    Diogeness has dragged all of those threads off topic, presumably because the Holocaust is an emotive enough issue that people will call for my banning at some point.

    I have no problem with debate, but this sort of childishness has to stop


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,268 ✭✭✭DubTony


    It seems the number 8 is "lucky" in China. Haven't you seen the HSBC (I think) ad? I think they're just using this "luck" in a symbolic way.

    Notice no explanation, no context, just, "if you are as crazy as me, their actions make sense"

    you wrote:

    Why would the "zionist movement" do this? Explain.

    You don't seem to have a perspective, unless it's a racist one, suspicious of "the Jews". You get outraged when people point out you are being racist. You demand people try and see things from your perspective, but refuse to elaborate your rational when asked to do.

    Why do you think there is a global Zionist conspiracy, and why would they advertise on the 2012 Olympics logo.

    And are you going to admit your error if somehow the Olympics are a success, while the world doesn't go into economic meltdown during the games?

    bumpin this again

    readin through the papers there for the last few days
    couple of interestin points

    3 things happend last thursday

    this is what was in fridays paper

    Sonny Bill Williams (Ausie Rugby league player) gave an interview explainin why he quit
    articles on 41 pages, covering world news, sport and editorial

    Olympic games started

    articles on 58 pages, one whole section lift out also


    Russia invades Georgia, 5 items 2 pages, towards the centre of the paper between the Harvey Norman ads and the property section




    this trend has not changed over the 5 days of the 'war'

    what do people make of that

    The olympics is more interesting than a "war"?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,701 ✭✭✭Diogenes

    They're not glossing over it. My paper leads with the story, has four pages of coverage minimum with several pages of comment and editorial. Yesterdays paper had a four page background piece from a reporter who had just finished a book on the region.

    Hey don't get me wrong, Georgia invaded South Ossetia confident of US backing, the Russians picked the start of the Olympics as smoke screen.

    But hey Mahatma, why don't you get back to the world resource crisis that would be caused by the industrial shut down from the olympics.

    How's that working out for you?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭Mahatma coat


    the full repercussions of the Chinese shutdown wont be felt for a few weeks yet,

    what I was commenting on is the australian newspapers that I read.


    also I found it funny that GWB gave out to russia for

    Invading a soverign contry with intentions of toppling the government and bringing about regieme change :D
