Mark Rabinowitz?

Postby FourthBase » Thu Aug 31, 2006 5:47 am

Browsing wikipedia I came upon his name and found his views to be rather similar to mine, with a few possible exceptions.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robinowitz">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robinowitz</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Positions on 9/11<br>Although Mr. Robinowitz believes that the U.S. government is complicit in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he rejects many theories held by fellow 9/11 researchers. For example, he states that <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the pod plane, Mossad active involvement, fake phone calls, no 757 at the Pentagon, hologram planes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, and similar theories are disinformation. He chides several researchers for “muddying the waters” and attempting to distract the public from “real evidence of complicity.” [1] <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>He is critical of but <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>does not reject</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> alleged controlled demolition of the World Trade Center as possible proof of U.S. government complicity</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. [2]<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>That's pretty much how one might describe my current view on CD.<br>I also reject pod planes, holograms, and no-plane theories.<br><br>I'm open to the idea of fake phone calls, though. And I would <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>never</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> reject the idea that the Mossad were involved, let alone call it disinfo. So that makes me skeptical of him.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>However, he believes that Dick Cheney may have been the mastermind[3], UA Flight 93 was shot down [4], the Air Force was stood down [5] with the help of <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>war games</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> [6], <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the Pentagon attack was designed to minimize casualties</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, and that <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>the planes were flown using remote control technology</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->.[7]<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->[/quote]<br><br>That's what really caught my eye, since I've always felt a <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>little</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> uneasy about deriding no-plane theories but at the same time championing a remote control theory. To me, it's a simple and obvious difference, with remote control being more of an "Occam's Razor" theory than <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>either</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the official version <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>or</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> the no-plane/missile/decoy theories. It was comforting to see a researcher who seems to have the same position.<br><br>Anyway, then his bio gets into Peak Oil, and I really have no idea what to make of that. Seems to be a lot of hostility toward "Peak Oilers", especially Ruppert, and I can see how "Peak Oil" could be manipulative bullshit. But I can also see it maybe being a motive for a lot of the heinous shit the elite does. So I'm totally undecided about that. If anyone can help me out there... <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=fourthbase>FourthBase</A> at: 8/31/06 3:48 am<br></i>

Seems that the wiki bio overstates his reluctance to consider Israelis as participants. Which is good. Damn, the more I read on his site, the more I'm impressed. <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Peer review is not censorship.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <br><br>Exactly.<br><br>He quotes Jeff and various RI blog comments.<br>Which, of course, makes me like him.<br><br>I really, really hope that the Peak Oil thing isn't BS.<br>But I'm all ears, let's hear about it.<br>Is Peak Oil bullshit?<br><br>And also, if it's bullshit...<br>Is it such obvious bullshit that any proponent is a fraud? <p></p><i></i>

I'm in general agreement with Mark on much regarding 9/11, right down to the speculation on remote control. I have a different take on peak oil. I suspect it's both genuine and a manipulation, because while oil is peaking <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>for us</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> and serving as a catalyst for a managed collapse and population reduction, the zero point field and anti-gravity tech is waiting in the wings <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>for them</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. <p></p><i></i>

Rabinowitz seems to have begun his 911 'activities' around early 2003, around the time when Theiry Meyssan's 'Pentagate' book & the pentagonstrike.co.uk flash animation was making an impression......<br><br>Some background info is <br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://catalyticconverter.blogspot.com/2005/04/email-from-cointelpro-and-shocking-911.html" target="top">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> & <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://catalyticconverter.blogspot.com/2005/05/robinowitz-and-snitch-jacketing.html" target="top">here</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Ummm, sorry Byrne but none of that was convincing. I don't get the feeling that MR wants people to "move away" from 9/11. And honestly, if some people are upset that he doesn't believe in their no-plane theories, then IMO <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>fuck 'em</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. No-plane theories are as obvious a diversion as there is.<br><br>But what's this about MR warning people away from sites?<br>Can someone post that list? Should be interesting.<br>And perhaps it will show up MR. <p></p><i></i>

Re: easy energy etc.

Postby erosoplier » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:12 am

I think that the behaviour of America, and other players, over the last 50 years - especially the last 5 years - provides good evidence that there really aren't any free lunches out there in nature. From this point of view, it's all about the oil, and about who gets control of the remains of the first and last easy energy. From this point of view, believing that there are solutions to our near insatiable energy demands, in the form of actual technologies that are being withheld/kept hidden from us, only serves to stop us from thinking and behaving realistically in the present moment.<br><br>If you're going to be an underling, there is some consolation in knowing that your social and economic masters, if not inherently superior to you, had access to special knowledge and information which you did not. It would be especially humbling to learn that your masters eat, shit, and die just like you, and that the only special access they had was to a mere illusion of superiority. Yet you lived your whole lives in awe of this illusion.<br><br>Having said that, I am open to being convinced otherwise. But this isn't something I'm likely to do a google search on any time soon, so if there are any links people would like to offer up for examination, let's have 'em. <p></p><i></i>

Unless, what the holograph/virtual reality technology is that good? Come on. WTC no-plane = disinfo, no ifs ands or buts. Anyone -- and I mean anyone -- who presents themselves as a serious researcher and posits a WTC no-plane theory = disinfo agent.
