<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"FB, this an ongoing developing campaign for TV watchers, not RI-style informed internet readers. Don't be so relaxed. lol."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -- Hugh<br><br>Exactly, Hugh. I'm really firming up my suspicions about Google. When I searched "Falcon" just now this was brought up:<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Operation Falcon<br>WROC, NY - 1 hour ago<br>Timothy Grossman was arrested as part of "Operation Falcon." He was wanted by the Rochester Police Department for failure to register as a convicted sex ..."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>Anybody here remember the last time "Falcon" was used in a thread on this board?<br> <p></p><i></i>

[DireStrike]

This was operation Falcon III, operations Falcon and Falcon II are by extension older than the falcon base disaster. <p></p><i></i>

[smithtalk]

kh, can someone explain what that means,<br>ive been away for a while and maybe i missed something interesting <p></p><i></i>

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

Sorry for the acronym. <br>KH = Keyword Hijacking = creating a decoy.<br><br>This is a disinformation tactic to hide a topic by creating another public event with the same name.<br><br>Here's an example - <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm27.showMessage?topicID=450.topic">p216.ezboard.com/frigorou...=450.topic</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Here's another thread kicking KH around - <br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=6714.topic">p216.ezboard.com/frigorou...6714.topic</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>A few RI readers, notably Professor Pan and orz, claim there is no such thing as KH. "Prove it!" Hence the long debates which will continue because I'm adamant about this reality.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Oh great, let's have an <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>abbreviation</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> of a piece of made up newspeak jargon now... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>A few RI readers, notably Professor Pan and orz, claim there is no such thing as KH. "Prove it!" Hence the long debates which will continue because I'm adamant about this reality.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>Well, it's not so simple as claiming there's no such thing... <br><br>For one thing i take issue with the neologism 'Keyword Hijacking' - i think it's highly counterproductive to cook up conspiracy fandom jargon for things like this... as this thread demonstrates people who haven't been following the 'debate' won't have a clue what you're on about. Why not just explain yourself in plain english rather than trying to create memes and cliques?<br><br>Secondly, it's not so much asking for proof of the whole concept as much as asking for any real evidence about the very specific claims you make. I don't deny the millitary and government want to and do control a lot of the media, but I don't see any connection between the undeniable facts and research around that, and the totally unsubstianted and mostly unlikely scenarios you suggest (ie that any mention of the extremely common everyday object the paperclip is part of some ludicrously elaborate scheme to somehow distract people from a slightly obscure aspect of WWII history)<br><br>Hugh, my main problem with your theories is NOT the lack of evidence for the causes you suggest, but the lack of evidence for the EFFECT! <br><br>As i have stated many times, you have never adequately explained or demonstrated how the existance of these paperclip-related things have ANY detrimental effect on the general public's ability to learn about Operation Paperclip.<br><br>The most jaw droppingly obtuse example you've provided so far is the case of Eichmann, where the supposed keyword is THE EXACT SAME NAME AND MEANING as the name that it's supposed to be distracting from!?!? :-S How does THAT work!?<br><br><br>Finally, do you deny that the paperclip is a well designed object? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Hugh, my main problem with your theories is NOT the lack of evidence for the causes you suggest, but the lack of evidence for the EFFECT!<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I think the "effect" is meant to be preventative, to prevent more American school kids from knowing that the Republican occupant of the White House has a Nazi financer in his family.<br><br>This effects future politics and recruiting, especially with Israel as a miltary 'ally' of oily convenience. <p></p><i></i>

[orz]

BUT HOW DOES THIS PREVENT ANYTHING!?! <br><br>If kids don't know about the history of Nazi-US collaboration it's because they aren't taught about it in schools, not because the word 'paperclip' exists in other contexts. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>As i've demonstrated several times, in terms of internet research at least (which is clearly the way kids these days are gonna find out about things like this) there's NOTHING about the 'Paper Clips' movie that in any way hinders people learning about Operation Paperclip. <p></p><i></i>
