OMG - Is it me, or do the "Podiums" at the RNC look like "crosses" in the

[Pachamama]

grain of the Wood? Maybe its because its late, maybe because I'm tired and paranoid and wearing the tinfoil hat too much lately, but I'm watching on C-SPAN the "Young Republican Gathering" at the RNC and when the speakers keep walking up, I noticed that the podiums are made in such a way that the wood grain is cut in a fashion like a christian cross....

I wouldn't put it past these nutwings to purposely do something like this....as subliminal as it may be, its real, I'm sure of it....

:eyes:

PS: If you didn't notice it, watch closely next time your watching the convention and when the camera zooms in on the podiums....See if I am telling the truth or just sleep-deprived....

1. yep... Jewish groups are complaining...

12. media is already starting to comment on it

Talibaptists.

[Skidmore]

13. Man, that's a scary picture!!! nt

[Razoor]

21. I noticed it the first day of the convention, your not alone

when ed gillispie was gaveling in the convention. I thought to my self that podium looks like it has a cross etched in it. also the podium looks like a piece of crap and looked liked it was thrown together at the last moment. I liked the podium design at the Democratic convention alot better.

2. it's been noticed

it's not you

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. It's not your imagination

or else I'm having the same hallucination. I noticed the same thing last night. And there is no doubt in my mind that this was deliberate, and intended for the Bible-thumper-snake handler constituency. Really disturbing...

[Pachamama]

5. Phew....I seriously thought I must be losing my mind as I watched the TV

My husband thinks I've been reading and watching too much propaganda and getting too paranoid for my own good...he's telling me to do more Yoga and to read "8 Mindful Steps to Happiness" and to shut the TV off...he's actually got a point, but I told him I need to see and follow what's going on for the next 61 days and then it all goes off.

I thought I must be crazy when I saw those podiums....thanks for letting me know I'm not nuts or paranoid....

Which brings me to the issue - So, if this was intentional (which I'm sure it was) WHY? Is it the "shout out" to the faithful? What other shit are they doing?

[Swamp Rat]

6. You are both right

Try the yoga but don't stop until day 62... please!

What are they doing? The Nazi X-tian fascists want to take over the world.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. I think they are aiming entirely at their evangelical Christian base.

The religious fanatics who can't be swayed by logic or argument. The ones who think Bush is a godly, righteous man who will save us all from immorality and evildoers. They don't care about alienating swing voters if they can get every last right-wing Christian to vote for them. They don't care about the Jews, either. Their attitude is "Fuck the Jews; they don't vote for us anyhow" (James Baker speaking to Bush I). Although a number of the neoconservatives are Jewish (Perle, Wolfowitz, etc.), they are so wrapped up in their ideology that they don't mind using the Christian nutjobs to maintain their control of the government to promote their wet-dream of American hegemony. But the convention is aimed at the red-meat religious wackos. It's Jerry Falwell meets Leni Riefenstahl.

But I have to wonder... Who would Jesus hate? Who would Jesus defame and insult? Who would Jesus kill?

[lectrobyte]

19. I'm sure it was intentional, look at that stand the gavel is on...

It's a message to the religious part of his base.

[Swamp Rat]

4. I can't bear to watch Pachamama!

But I'm listening to Ray Taliaferro right now bashing the crap out of them. He's read my emails four times over the last week.

You are right. They ARE crosses... They are the New Crusaders and I can invision Der Gropenführer swinging the Sword of St. Michael as he's slays the Islamic Beast.

Here's their new flag:

[Pachamama]

7. They really are the Neo-X-tian Crusaders, aren't they?

Speaking of tinfoil hats, I knew you'd find me Swamp'r! Oi!

How's Ray doing? I should go grab the radio (my streaming doesn't seem to want to tune in to KGO right now)....

Nice Flag...scary though...makes me also think of our cave guy? Hmmmmm

:tinfoilhat:

[Swamp Rat]

8. Did he have X-tian paraphernalia too?

The Shroud of Turin? Some Holy Grails? The Sword of Damocles hanging from the ceiling?

Here's the KGO website for streaming:

Oh, and :hi: I was about to answer your last email but I found you here first.... wait a sec, I need to put on my :tinfoilhat: too.

[Pachamama]

11. No, but in one of the "halls" were about 20 huge "mined" crystals

Some of the crystal's (boulder size) were from Arkansas and then from Brazil tons of Amethyst the size of a horse.....It was strange....I'll tell you more, offline....

[soothsayer]

17. the rnc has these crystals? really?? can you say more? thanks

[Pachamama]

22. No, not the RNC-I told SwampRat about a "Cave" I went to by a very wealthy

wine patron in Napa Valley....its 50,000 square feet (atleast the part reported) and its like a bunker....there is one room, a hall in fact with these "crystals"....I also "stumbled" (okay, I purposely went investigating) an area not on the official tour. The guide got all flustered and said that the room was used for Wine storage....yeah, wine storage my ass...this place was being used for something a lot more than wine storage....It also had a weird light show emblem on the ceiling....even my husband who thinks I wear the tinfoil hat too much agreed that something was weird about the place...I'm thinking one of the "secret societies" similar to the Bohemian Club etc. meets there...I wouldn't be surprised if there are more places like these caves with weird stuff going on....

:scared:

[notadmblnd]

20. did you know that being crucified on the inverted cross

was the ultimate insult in Roman times?

[lapfog_1]

9. I wish I could remember

but I'm sure that some news org pointed this out (MSNBC???) AND
they have an interview with KKKarl about it, and he sort of smirked
and more or less admitted that one could interpret the podium
as a pulpit. I know I saw this somewhere, but I won't swear it
was MSNBC (I channel surf a lot with the convention coverage).

[Disturbed]

14. Yeah pulpit.

Designed for the Neo Fascist anti-Christ Zealots.

They will smile when they herd non-BushMoonies into the camps.

[tom_paine]

15. No. They ARE crosses. More transparent Orwellian Maniuplation

Now watch them deny deny deny to keep the moderates they have fooled.

It is so interesting watching them be full-on Nazi/Commie/Marcis/Pinochet types yet still having to slightly play the game of freedom.

But they are erasing that as quickly as they can, like others before them, lyingly and loudly waving the banner of 'freedom' while destroying it.

[Swamp Rat]

16. I re-made their X-tian flag.

Did you see it? (post #4)

I'm very sleepy after a night of hunting and harassing trolls... I have class tomorrow, but I wonder if there will be a university system left after the republic finally bursts into flames - literally. I really want to teach when I finish my PhD... maybe I'll go back to Brasil and teach there. Puta que pariu! The aliens are taking over!

[LuLu550]

18. we are smart enough to notice

Karl Rove is hoping it comes across subliminally to the true believers. Don't think for one moment it was a "chance" thing. Everything they do is calculated.
