Here's an interesting interview with Victor Grossman, who defected to East Germany during WWII.

Then you were drafted into the army, which was a much more dangerous place for a Communist to be than a factory in upstate New York.

The draft began again in 1948 with the Korean War. At the same time, the Internal Security Act was passed, a law that said that members of the Communist party or its front organizations had to register with the police as foreign agents. For every day that you didn’t register, it was up to five years in prison. I got my draft notice in October of 1950. I quit my job and went back to New York. When you got drafted, you had to sign a statement: “I am not and have never been a member of the above organizations.” There were over 100 organizations listed—a couple of fascist and Nazi organizations, but 80 to 90 percent of them were left-wing organizations, some dating back to the 20s and 30s. I was in about a dozen of them. I thought, Should I sign this damn thing?

Everyone relax, Alex Jones has gotten to the bottom of weather science. Tornados don't just pop up naturally, they're created by governments and ski resort globalists.

Paging MFR.

hollywood film producers can now pay the government to make it rain on their sets when they want to film rain scenes. it's cheaper for them even though the machine backfires a third of the time causing massive global weather catastrophes. and this is in fact a true story.

 

[Bardeaux]

This is not good for my Trumanshow Disorder.

 

[Apostacious]

Hahaha... wow, "weather weapon." Whomever still licks Alex Jones' spittle off the ground every time he farts out of his mouth really has lost any and all capacity to think for themselves. WAKE UP PPL ALOCKS JONZ IS LUMINATEE

 

[MrGrunge]

^ I think that's been the case for over a decade now. Have you ever heard his Y2K broadcast? Holy shit.

 

[Apostacious]

Yeah, there will always be people that fulfill their unresolved teenage angst and dissatisfaction with "the government" by espousing ridiculous conspiracy theories conveniently milled out by someone provocative enough.

 

[MrGrunge]

^ Are you intentionally or unintentionally describing MFR?

Did no else besides MFR fucking see this post in the video thread? seriously?

 

[ebola?]

mehhhh....Jones is already auto-satire, so nothing's really gained by satirizing him.

[L2R]

"look at jones" is sufficient to contribute to such satire.

you're wrong. this is hilarious. his voice is slightly off but his demeanor is spot on. (I challenge you or anyone else to post a video imitating him this well.) the message is wholly relevant. genuine comedic gold, I say.

 

[Apostacious]

I dig it

I am addicted to playing geoguessr:

It drops you on a road in a random part of the world and you have to trundle through Google street view to guess where you are.

English-speaking countries would be easy if it weren't for Australia and Canada. Russia is a nightmare. I've taught myself the Cyrillic alphabet just to figure it out.

 

[L2R]

^sounds cool! i'll try to remember to check it out at home.

I've been playing that as well.

Do you "cheat" with using google searches, or do you just guess?

(And damn, it sucks when you're dropped into the middle of nowhere. All I can say is that I may be in an English speaking country with an arid region and one paved road...)

I hate how they got rachel maddow to do those lumosity.com commercials.
