My thought is you're starting to see through their bullshit. Welcome to the rabbit hole. I must warn you, it's pretty deep.

Wait until you start noticing that the huge releases happen like, Friday, Saturday, when no one is watching out on their weekend.

ooh Like that shit the CIA pulled on christmas? Releasing a crappy incomplete list of all the times people broke protocol on national surveillance databases.

One of us one of us one of us

why do you get flair?

Oh, do you mean Gregory? I named him after /u/Greg_Roberts_0985

He is a magnificent bastard, and accompanies me on my travels.

I'd still appreciate an answer to his question (why/how you get flair), even if George has forgotten

I wish I could give ya a real one. Woke up one morning with it. One of the mods hooked me up.

There's a few of us with the flair, but I doubt it has any significance. I dig it though - I love birds anyway.

Oh. You never asked the mods either?

Nopes.

What does the "B C" stand for? Bohemian Club?

That is a fantastic guess. My thought too.

And the owl is the Moloch owl god?

Edit: A word that was auto corrected.

Most likely. You'd have to ask Gregory.

Sure you participate here alot,but you should joke less. -gt

Sometimes we all need a chuckle. I will try and be more serious. My bad.

Was trying something different.

Jk. U respect gt?

Sometimes.

Don't stop. It helps other know that you are human and not a paid shill. If you were a shill, you'd be a really really really good one.

No shilly. Just a dude who can't sleep and likes reading and debating.

You don't have to convince me Jim.

I know, but I felt I had to respond. I'll keep doing what I'm doing - as long as you're learning, questioning, and being respectful.

Long days and pleasant nights.

Humour is the essence of life, bro.

Now start looking into all of terrorist plots that the FBI has "foiled" over the past few years. Real, top notch work, you'll be amazed.

just walking around the rim of the hole, going about your job, a rim job almost

imagine the psy op capabilities they have

it can go from literal torture to a dress

its amazing

Such power the media has.

Or is it a a show of how much we're controlled?

Both. I mean a dress? I see right thru it as many others do

If you want me to call you crazy I will, however, I am of the opinion that whole dress nonsense was definitely a distraction. I'm starting to think it was a trigger of some sort, cuz the whole thing is just so bizarre.

You're not allowed to call me crazy! lol! Yeah, a trigger associated with some sort of mind control technology. To do what? I don't know. What kind of tech? I don't know. However, what I do know, is the news casts (any network) are FULL of hypnotic circles rotating within half circles inside of rotating circles, and countdowns, that's all hypnotic mind control tech. And please remember, that's just a passing thought, I have only dedicated as much time to it as it took to type this message.

It was multiple things: an advertisement for a dress, a distraction from real stories (Chicago police, net neutrality), a coverup (by flooding social media), and a divide-and-conquer event. All you saw on social media was white/gold vs black/blue.

It's almost a known truth at this point.

You cray ;)

HEY! maybe it looks like that now... just wait till everyone who saw a black dress will only communicate in katy perry lyrics, won't be so crazy then.... WILL I???

I've seen both the Black/Blue and White/Gold dress.

My mother was right - I am special.

I've seen both the Black/Blue and White/Gold dress.

Behold! the Chosen One!

I shall save youuu

'Cause, baby, you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Social media explodes with random irrelevant crap on an almost clockwork basis. It is usually as organic as fashion trends or shitty "musicians" getting popular.

The government does so much fucked up shit that one thing or another is constantly being revealed. It only makes sense that the two regularly overlap.

Do you really think that people would be significantly distracted from real news by a stupid gimmicky meme? Do you really think that the few people that were measurably distracted by it are the people who would pay any attention to the Chicago news anyway? No and no.

But downvote away, because for two years or more, most people in this sub have been sure that anything that becomes popular must be a manufactured distraction from [insert government malfeasance here].

So why did no US media cover it?

Because they rarely cover heinous violations of the constitution unless it serves their ends? Remind me how many FOX/CNN/ABC/NBC/CBS etc. stories you saw about the stupid dress shit and swallowing up time that still wouldn't have been used to cover the Chicago thing. None? Was it none?

So let's assume it was some kind of experiment. What was the visible results?

• Division. Accordingly to the Media, the people were violently arguing about the dress color. Couples broke up, etc.

• Doubt. You can't trust your eyes no more. Everything is a mind trick. After the event the same media that spread the dress meme, started to post optic illusions.

• Control of the talk over the internet. Suddenly EVERYONE was talking about it. It could be a way of silence other subject (the Chicago black site?) or a study on how effective the intelligence could be in infiltrate any subject into people conversation.

• Any other?

Call me crazy (too), but I still think the dress was white and gold, even after the "debunk".

Advertising for expensive clothing.

I also thought it was truly white/gold too, but whatever.

The dress IS major news, did you not see it? It was like it almost changed colors or whatever. Besides that Chicagho thing was... hey, Honey Boo Boo is on... gotta go.

i wonder: is this some kind of experiment like what FB did? what's really going on here? seems like a whole lot of bs to me,

we have to ask ourselves, why are silly distractions deliberately 'headlined' in the "news", especially right after the debate about online security, the black site in Chicago, the measles etc.,

it sure doesn't take much to divert attention.

edit: punctuation

i feel the same way at times; then i remember what my Grandfather used to say: some people have to be smacked with a 2 by 4 to realize the truth,

when those that don't see or refuse to see are confronted with what's real, they will either breakdown or accept it, should it come to that, it's important that people be aware, it's happening now, some people display inappropriate anger/violence, like road rage, (seems to come out of nowhere),

i don't know if it's because they've always had a mental issue or not, best to be safe than sorry, if shtf, just be careful.

edit: protect your health, mind & body, stay positive, expect the good

I think you are probably correct. They are experimenting on how easy it is to distract the population. People arguing with each other, people saying "I can't trust my eyes", etc etc. Seems like the perfect psy-ops.

exactly: can't trust what their eyes see - that is so much bs

what if there really is 3 versions of the dress photo?!?

this dress comes in more than one color, i've seen: white & gold, black & blue, black & red

"Roman Originals began selling the dress in November 2014. It currently comes in four different colors, pink/black, red/black, white/black, black/blue, although the company is now considering selling the dress in white and gold. "

http://www.eonline.com/news/630502/this-dress-debate-is-publicity-gold-viral-look-sold-out-company-receiving-150-calls-every-30-minutes

from romans orginals, the gold & white is not available at this time

http://www.romanoriginals.co.uk/invt/70931?colour=Ivory

...Really?

I found the dress to be mildly amusing. Just like tons of other content I look at every day. But it became a "thing", and I noticed that, so I decided to share it so that other people I knew could be in on "the thing". People like feeling included.

It's inoffensive content. It's something you can share with anyone. It doesn't require the person you're sending it to to have any background knowledge for it to be relevant to them. The "trick" with the dress is something people can verify first hand. If I told you, "There's a picture of a dress, and sometimes people see it as black and blue, and sometimes people see it as gold and white," would you believe me? Would we have to go into deep discussions about color theory and the like, as you'd need evidence that this might be true? Why should you have to believe me or why should I have to argue with you, I can just show you the picture. Without the picture, it's just like any other story where you're relying on someone else to both know what they're talking about and be honest with you. But what color the picture of the dress is is something you can verify with a simple imaging program.

Blacksite torture? Well, I assume it's true, I'm pretty cynical about the government and what it's capable of.

So, yeah, the dress went everywhere. Some things just happen to strike a chord in people. It's nice to know that people's attention can all unite around something, even if it's not something important.

It works for important things, too. Like Ebola-Chan.

The Dress, an Illusion in Lesser Magic. [IMAGE]

"A wolf in sheeps clothing?" ohhhh, I had too.

That wolf needs a tinfoil hat.

It came out a couple days before the dress story.

It was never covered by the news in the U.S. media.

It was willful compliance to not mention it at all.

In the worldnews subreddit the anti Russia/Putin narrative continues. People say the Russian media is state run and that America is way different and is completely reputable. LOL.

Meanwhile the mainstream U.S. news is talking about cold weather in winter and dress colors.. It amazes me people can't see through this shit and demand more from the media. Ridiculous!!

Edit: Who could forget the llama story that got mainstream media, prime time news coverage, over the Chicago black site story... this is why people call people sheep

People say the Russian media is state run and that America is way different and is completely reputable.

It's always amused me that people will see a story posted from RT and immediately start shouting "IT CAN'T BE TRUSTED! IT'S A PROPAGANDA OUTLET FOR THE REDS!".

Yeah I see that on the RT Youtube channel all the time

Yeah still I trust RT as much as I trust fox news or any other media outlet. I question their motives even though they speak what appears to be more truth then other news stations.

The blacksite story was up on worldnews quite high, more than 5000 points up, maybe you just didn't catch it.

MAINSTREAM NEWS you jackass.

Reddit is not mainstream news, fuck

I know it's not, I never said it was. I only pointed it out because you said:

In the worldnews subreddit the anti Russia/Putin narrative continues. People say the Russian media is state run and that America is way different and is completely reputable

While at the same time, the blacksite story was quite popular aswell.

It was popular on reddit...

Hundreds of millions of Americans have no idea about the Chicago Black Sites. NBC/CBS/CNN/FOX news channels will not talk about it.

The internet is the only source people could potentially see the story

Anyone got a link for the dress shit? thanks.

Edit: never mind, googled it. Sure went viral for no reason.

Had to google it myself. I didn't get it either.

Oh i still don't get it. Asburd. Why did everyone fall for it. Was it a test?

Sometimes people run out sandy places to stick their heads. Every now and then you have to build a new sandbox, I guess.

I don't think there's any "falling for it", I legitimately thought it was white and gold at first, then saw it edited next to a couple other pictures and it switched to black and blue permanently in my brain.

It's just an optical illusion.

I really hated the whole "OMG! Is it White/Gold, or Blue/Black!?" social internet bunk.

You're crazy, crazy like a fox. Interesting to say the least.

Meh.

It's Chicago so I'm not surprised. New York, LA, Dallas-Fort Worth, and a few more cities have them as well.

What I'm curious to know, is what type of people go there. The article mentions that a protester, part of the "Nato Three", was kep there, but other than that, it only mentions that they're usually poor and black. It's being suggested that political reasons are behind it, but I could see people like child killers and molesters, other murderers, and rapists being held there. I just find it interesting that there's no mention of what type of crimes resulted in staying at Homan Square. Is it intentional? Or do they just not know?

Rahm Emmanuel is a Jew, do the math.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. The story about the black site in Chicago doesn't have any solid proof. At this point, it's just people saying it's there. I don't doubt that it's there, but there needs to be evidence that it's there for news agencies to start covering it.

Journalists tried to get in and Chicago police in masks tailed their car and intimidated them.

That's something i didn't know, but it seems reasonable to think that's why it hasn't been seen in the news.

police in masks

If they're outed they should face outright termination for that alone. People have compared the cops to gangs for years, and now they're hiding their faces and running pure intimidation tactics on journalists?

Looks like it's not a comparison anymore, it's a fact.

Also several people have come forth saying they were 'guests' there including torture.

It's a coincidence. Not everything in the world is a conspiracy. Is it a crime to have fun on the news every once in a while?

Oh i still don't get it. Asburd. Why did everyone fall for it. Was it a test?

Nopes.
