I'd put the likelihood of it being a signal above it being a coincidence, and way above a troll.

So the contention is that it was just pure happenstance that the article had 14 words in its headline, started with the same 4, and made a bizarre reference to the number 88 in the article? if it is anything but pure chance I win?

ok there's 1

You have made the point that they want the status quo and presumably also healthy economies with which they can profit from. My point in bringing up the imf is to show that they are capable of profiting from unhealthy economies as well as healthy ones.

i agree with him

Yeah I already agree and I think kokiri did as well so you've lost.

how about the day you have long conversations in this thread with mets?

lol good point.

Double Edit:

This reuters report allegedly is being used to justify the 13 out of 88 number but I think info is missing to recalc it.

Don't know where I said anything about a health economy.

My point again is that money is not the end consideration of the elites. If I said it is meaningless then you've misunderstood. It is a tool it is not what they are after.

Dustin, you should read these two books:

https://www.amazon.com/Imperialism-H...+of+capitalism

https://www.amazon.com/Neo-Coloniali...of+imperialism

They will help you explain the stuff you are talking about.

No, the Reuters thing says that 88% (ie, 88 of 100) pass the first hurdle, and the DHS thing says that for each 88 people who pass the initial hurdle 13 end up getting asylum.

"Between July and September of 2016, U.S. asylum officers accepted nearly 88 percent of the claims of credible fear"

"On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum."

I see you've already edited your post, but oh well.

I was assuming that when you said the elites wanting a civil war would be crazy, that that would be due to the economic problems that would be created.

Ultimately you ascribe too much of the world based on the whims of a small group of people. Capital controls us we don't control capital.

watched ocasio cortez on meet the press. its on youtube

cliffs:

she says healthcare for all, housing for all, free higher education for all.

BUT when she was asked if nancy pelosi should be next speaker of the house, she said now would be premature to endorse anyone

no ****ing way, nancy ****ing pelosi should be speaker of the house. and if ocasio cortez was awesome should would have said that.

Basically the report says 88% of the claims of credible fear made by asylum seekers were accepted in Q3 2016. It doesn't have the corresponding info showing how many were granted asylum during that time.

The article mentions that in 2015, 18% of asylum seekers who went before a judge were granted asylum, but that's a different time period so wouldn't be used for the 88%.

hai! how r u??

this is very obviously, at a basic level, not true. do you really think this?

also, hai! also,

Yes bsball it is about power not money. Money is used as a tool to attain power.

she was also asked how she was gonna sell her democratic socialism when so many of the democrats were scared of socialism. he answer was lame. she just kind of rambled.

she should have been like "that's why we have trump, and we lost the house and the senate and the supreme court. because corrupt cowardly democrats aren't representing the people. they are representing the corporations and people know it. that's why bernie sanders had so much support and crooked hillary lost the easiest election to win in history. democratic party is in shambles. we need to represent the people, not corporations. corrupt fascists like pelosi need to go'

Yeah unfortunately to actually be elected you have to be a bootlicker.

to do what?

Power to remain in power. I think that is their motivation. To have control over the entire planet such that they can never be challenged by the lower classes.

Dammit, I forgot about filthy. So we got filthy luckbox and aksdal thinking it's subtle secret or whatever Nazi rhetoric signaling.

Well I guess that's it. How do we figure out who specifically did it?

hai back
