W. Niederhut Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) 7 hours ago, Ron Bulman said: Again, 17 years ago? Ron, Four years earlier, in March of 2003, I watched Bill O'Reilly interview Gary Hart on Fox News. Hart was ridiculed by O'Reilly for saying that deposing Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime could destabilize the balance of power in the Persian Gulf and lead to an expensive, protracted U.S. military occupation of Iraq. (It was the Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz Plan that was supposed to be cheap and easy.) At the time, the Bush/Cheney mainstream media jingoism about invading Iraq was on steroids in the U.S. The Shock & Awe fireworks show in Baghdad had the country mesmerized. Karl Rove had been appointed, in 2002, to chair a Whie House committee charged with selling the American public on the necessity of invading Iraq, and Rupert Murdoch later openly bragged about his role in promoting the Iraq War. (The public only learned about Karl Rove's Iraq War sales committee during the grand jury investigation of Cheney and Scooter Libby's Valerie Plame affair.) Edited August 1 by W.

Karl Kinaski Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Two moderators cooking up 17 year old threads with OT comments? Could anybody explain to me the deeper meaning of this? I ask Chat GPT, quote: Here are a few possible interpretations: Quote 1. Nostalgia or Historical Context The moderators might be revisiting old threads for nostalgic reasons, wanting to highlight interesting discussions or valuable content from the past. Adding off-topic comments could be a way to inject some humor or draw attention to these threads in a light-hearted manner. 2. Community Engagement Revisiting old threads could be a strategy to boost community engagement. By bringing back long-forgotten discussions, moderators might be encouraging newer members to participate in these threads, thereby fostering a sense of continuity and history within the community. 3. Cleanup or Archival Purposes Sometimes moderators revisit old threads to clean them up, update information, or archive important discussions. Off-topic comments might be incidental or could serve as a marker indicating that the thread has been reviewed. 4. Personal Amusement or Inside Jokes The behavior might stem from personal amusement or inside jokes among moderators or long-time community members. It could be a playful activity that isn't meant to be taken seriously by the wider community. 5. Highlighting Changes Over Time Bringing up old threads with off-topic comments might be a way to highlight how much things have changed over time. This could include changes in community norms, technology, or the subject matter being discussed. 6. Provoking Discussion Sometimes, revisiting old threads with new comments, even off-topic ones, can provoke fresh discussions. It can serve as a way to re-examine old ideas with new perspectives, prompting members to reflect on past conversations. Count me out.

Karl, I'm delighted to see that you have upgraded your "news" and opinion sources from Laura Loomer, Ben Shapiro, and Vigilant Fox to Chat GPT. Artificial intelligence is better than no intelligence. As for the disgraced Fox News talking head, Blah Blah O'Reilly, perhaps you are unaware that he has promoted the false CIA narrative that George De Mohrenschildt shot himself, moments after an intruder entered his home.
