Has the "honker" or the honking car ever been identified?

Jim, In the second episode, the FBI and CIA theories of shot sequence are briefly addressed. I have not heard much, if anything on these theories previously to this series. Whoopi goes through the theories briefly but offers no supporting evidence for the theories, especially the CIA theory which is totally opposite of the WC conclusions. I recall she does mention something about CIA documents relating to this being destroyed. My question is, what info do you have to support the conclusion of the CIA relating to this issue? If the documents were destroyed, what lead you to this information? I'm not saying I doubt this info, but I am genuinely curious to learn more and study this issue further. If I missed something and this is not new information, I apologize and would appreciate any info that may be available.

I am all for cleaner and renewable fuels/energy. The reality is we are not there yet. Great strides are being made, but renewables are not ready to carry the full load. Why make it painful for ourselves during that transition? Also, the climate is not only affected in the area being polluted. Why should we drive ourselves into the ground trying to clean things up when other countries do as they please?

Kirk, How is Saudi Arabia scum and Iran is not? Also, what is wrong with increasing production of American oil? Doesn't that make the most sense both immediately and in the long run?

Joe, Can you link to where Tucker made an apology? I am usually in agreement with Tucker, but not on the Russia situation. He had Doug Macgregor on the other night and I was disgusted at what I was hearing. It was like a KGB agent was there spewing Russian propaganda on the show. I did notice last night that the Tuck has moderated his tone in regards to defending Russia as a innocent.

And it's not only the few Putin sympathizers we have here. I am seeing so many people make incredible stretches to defend Putin's actions. Some stretching so far that I am concerned they may pull a hamstring! Lot's of the folks doing this are the ones who denied any Russian influence in the election or Trump administration. I still think most of those claims were most likely bogus, but to see the lengths some people will go to to defend Putin makes one wonder what they are truly involved in. I think it is most likely a way to cope for them. They realize any real involvement by the West will lead to WW3 and possible annihilation. I think their smooth brains make justifications for Putin in an attempt to soothe themselves. Similar to not addressing the real problem in any aspect of your life, they think they can ignore the problem and it will go away. Rational beings realize that will not work. Perhaps W. can weigh in on the psychology of this. I would be interested to hear his thoughts on my theory.

Short of doing nothing, I believe the only way to possibly avoid a catastrophic war is to assassinate Putin. But this is certainly something else. Lindsey said the quiet part out loud.

I also have been wondering about Cliff. I searched Obituaries for him and did not turn up anything. Another member I was wondering about is Tom Hume. He posted on anagrams and other intelligence type "puzzles." Not sure the validity of any of his arguments, but they provided an interesting read.

I don't think we are out of the woods yet. Short of total capitulation by Ukraine and the "West", I don't see a scenario where Putin backs down.

I can't wait for the Putin fan boys to come along and tell us it's all good. "No big deal, he's just concerned about NATO. It's perfectly rational to escalate to nuclear threats." Dude needs to be wiped immediately. If he is left to continue, it is going to lead to the deaths of a lot of innocents around the globe.

W and Kirk, This forum needs a like button. Great statements by both of you!

If this is true, it just further demonstrates the depravity of the regime. You know your soldiers won't fight for your true motives, so you must lie to them to get them to do your bidding.

W, check your map again. The Kaliningrad Oblast is right on Polands border. While not connected to mainland Russia, it is a part of the Russian Federation.

Yup. NATO should hold a "snap election" immediately and admit Finland and Sweden as full members. One other thing I don't understand is how Putin conceives it as some sort of threat to have a NATO country on his border. Correct me if I am wrong, but don't NATO members Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Norway already border Russia?

That is the obvious answer. But to put out this type of message leads me to believe more is afoot. Could he be planning to carry on further into other countries? I think the dude has lost his mind and needs to be "neutralized" immediately.

This is certainly and interesting development. Any thoughts?

Sorry if I missed it, but is there a list of people who claim to have seen the "other" film? The only two I am aware of are DellaRosa and Burnham.

Thanks, Larry!

Paul, can you provide more info on the Houston dentist? I have not heard anything about that story.

Below are three easy steps to being labeled as homophobic: 1. Criticize someone who happens to be a homosexual. 2. The actual criticism does not need to be related to the persons sexual preferences, as is the case here. The fact that you are brazen enough to have an issue with something a homosexual has done is enough to earn your homophobe badge. 3. Congrats, you are now a homophobe! Apply this method to other groups of people for the same result. Criticize a POC, racist! Criticize a Jew, anti-Semite!

I think what we have here is a classic case of accusing the other side of that which you are guilty. I'm not suggesting that Russia is innocent or did not have plans to commit a "false flag", but lord knows the U.S has done so in the past. If you really think about it, it is quite surprising that the government is admitting that "false flags" actually exist. Hear me out, perhaps this is a "false flag" operation by the U.S to justify some sort of sanctions or attack against Russia. Or at least the beginning of laying the groundwork for a "justified" conflict or actions against Russia.

Oh boy. That could really muck things up.

Chris, This comment reminds me of a good Schopenhauer quote: "If anyone spends almost the whole day in reading...he gradually loses the capacity for thinking...This is the case with many learned persons; they have read themselves stupid."

I didn't answer your questions yesterday for the reasons Dennis put forth in his post yesterday. While I hold the hope that we can have a reasonable discussion, it most likely is an exercise in futility. Regarding the constitution, have you read Lysander Spooner's No Treason, specifically number 1? If not, here is a link to it: https://mises.org/library/no-treason-no-1 Here is a passage from No Treason which perfectly shows what has happened to us today: "It is not improbable that many or most of the worst of governments — although established by force, and by a few, in the first place — come, in time, to be supported by a majority. But if they do, this majority is composed in large part of the most ignorant, superstitious, timid, dependent, servile, and corrupt portions of the people; of those who have been overawed by the power, intelligence, wealth, and arrogance; of those who have been deceived by the frauds; and of those who have been corrupted by the inducements of the few who really constitute the government."
