If one of the bombers lived there, why hasn't anyone from that building been arrested?

i thought they had. dunno. the story was, an item found with the detonators last thursday implicated the block of flats the brazilian lived in. the police staked it out.

dunno, though.

i mean, one weird thing: running into the tube station is only a good getaway plan if you KNOW there is a train on the platform.

And what is the strange fruit that Phil has with his beef?

aubergine, i assume

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

Anyone with even a general understanding of Suicide bombers is well aware of the traits by which you can identifiy them.

isn't that categorically false? otherwise, there'd be no problem rounding up all the likely suspects all over the world and just, you know, putting them somewhere safe? i thought this is one of those 'it's easy to find a pattern AFTER they're dead (which you maybe make up yourself) but is damn hard to actually make any sweeping generalisations about them or identify them?

Well you know some fo you seem intelligent, some of you seem less so and some of you simply prefer mud slinging and name calling over intelligent conversation.

It all good with me, I've been debating and researching for many many years and last time I checked had an IQ of 140, which supposedly makes me real smart, look see, I just killed a lizard by spitting my bacca at it, Mumma would be proud.

I only popped by becasue I saw a lot of hits coming from this forum. If you really want answers of the true kind then you ought to stop relying your own government who told you one of the biggest debunked conspiracy theories this decade- WMD in Iraq, hands up how many of you fell for that one? ... And you think they didn't already know there weren't any? lol! They were the ones who armed Saddam friends! of course they ficking knew!

If you want to trust proven liars who have thus far overseen the death of more than 100,000 Iraqi's then hell, good luck with that, we all have our purposes in this life no doubt.

But I think it best I leave you to it, do and think what you will, I may not agree with you but I would die for your right to speak freely.

Take care all, It would be an honour were you to stop my blog from time to time.

Thanks for your time,


Phil

Stockwell sounds a bit like Roswell. I'm only saying!

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

don't go phil! :(

WMD in Iraq, hands up how many of you fell for that one? ... And you think they didn't already know there weren't any? lol! They were the ones who armed Saddam friends! of course they ficking knew!

i didn't fall for it. but saddam DID once have wmd, right? he DID use chemical weapons on civilians, yeah?

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:18 (twenty years ago)

Not only that but HE USED THEM ON HIS OWN PEOPLE. I've never understood why this is worse than using them on anyone else's people.

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

In front of that particular block of flats in Stockwell, just past the bus stop, there is a grassy knoll.

also "knoll" rhymes with "troll," as in "do not feed the."

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

phil are you no longer our friend? :(

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

WMD in Iraq, hands up how many of you fell for that one?
I think around these parts the answer to that is Not Very Many.

Thanks for telling us your IQ. Well done clever clogs.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

Not only that but HE USED THEM ON HIS OWN PEOPLE. I've never understood why this is worse than using them on anyone else's people.

it's no better or worse but it's a little pompous to not at least try to cover it up and frame it on someone else, like the MI5 do.

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

they didn't think they were his people, innit.

Take care all, It would be an honour were you to stop my blog from time to time.

We've decided to let you continue for now, to show that we believe in free speech, no matter how silly.

Momus (Momus), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

IQ testing has been demonstrated to be a singularly ineffective and divisive way of demonstrating "intelligence" (itself an unworkable construct in any meaningful measurable sense).

Personally, I measure smarts and the lack of by the number of incorrectly inserted apostrophes. But, if you DO want to play cock-swinging IQ games, Phil, I'd like to call Messrs Skidmore, Gee, Carlin, Sinker and, no doubt numerous others, to beat you down with their SUPERBRANES.

Did Saddam really gas his own people? are you sure?

Philip Howe, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm just wondering whether it's not a good idea to check Mr Howe's ISP address vis-a-vis those pictures that were posted on the Liz thread last week...

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

nah, i don't that's fair.

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:39 (twenty years ago)

One of the objectives of terrorism is to undermine people's trust in their supposed "protectors," i.e. government and police. One way of doing this is to conjure up mythical conspiracy theories, with the intention of setting the populace against their rulers.

So how do we know that "Phil Howe" is not an al-Qaeda operative?

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

"Well Toby such is the wonders of education and historical study, tends to teach you things you might not of previously known."

Somehow 'education & historical study' reads to me as, communing on the internet with other like-minded & equally pompous souls trading endless boneheaded theories about the illuminati/9-11/lizards/etc...

mzui (mzui), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Pelletiere wrote that Saddam Hussein has much to answer for in the area of human rights abuses. ”But accusing him of gassing his own people at Halabja as an act of genocide is not correct, because as far as the information we have goes, all of the cases where gas was used involved battles. These were tragedies of war. There may be justifications for invading Iraq, but Halabja is not one of them.”

gassing civilians: genocide
gassing conscripts: tragedy of war

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:43 (twenty years ago)

Marcello I have not a clue what your talking about to be honest. But if it helps and should anyone really have any reason to check out my IP address then let me assist you. I am at work at the moment, I work for MCI/Worldcom, my office is located in Amsterdam. By night I write from home, I have a non fixed IP address account and live in Utrecht.

I hope this helps you Marcello. For security reasons, given that I work for the company largely responsible for the creation, up keep and evolution of the internet and future communications you will forgive me If I do not divulge further details that could see me fired.


Regards,

phil, for you own safety: run, get off the grid, disappear. if you know anything about marcello (codename IMPROV) you will know you have about 6 minutes' head start here.

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:49 (twenty years ago)


Oh My Marcello your conspiracy theories make mine look like tax receipts.

Perhaps my photo on my site might convince you I really wouldn't look good with a turban and that I am far to sexy to blow myself to pieces.

Or perhaps not, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all.


Mind you when that picture was taken I had 3rd degree sdum burns from the Portugese heat, man it ficking hurt, at that point blowing myself up would a great relief.

Surfice to say I would of done it in solitude, perhaps in the sea? ......Oh crap but what about the widdle fishes?


hmmmmmm...


Clearly I annoy and anger most of you. There is really no point me hanging around, I have a girlfriend to verbally abuse me, Is that not punishment enough?


regards,

Phil Howe, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:53 (twenty years ago)

england prevails, phil.

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

Come off it. "Amuse", perhaps.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

So how do we know that "Phil Howe" is not an al-Qaeda operative?

This (and the idea that Phil posted pics to the Liz thread) is fighting conspiracy theory with conspiracy theory, paranoia with paranoia. I've noticed this happening before on ILX, when aggressive trolls are confronted with aggression far more trollish than their own. It doesn't look like a self-assured response at all.

Momus (Momus), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:55 (twenty years ago)

Amuse, not annoy and anger.

Hey look, we both had the same thought, at the same time, sitting only inches apart. We are not longer in control of our minds.

OK, more than inches.

PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

I can't work out if he's barking mad, or just trying to wind everyone up. (Phil, not Momus).

Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

aw phil :( you can always stay and talk about fishes with us.. if you log out first you might even want to talk about the kinky stuff you do with your girlfriend! conspiracy theories are just a little dull t'is all!

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

WHO YOU CALLING AN AGGRESSIVE TROLL YOU CUNTIN CURRIE CUNT

*pause*

Anyway we've only got his word on any of that. Can't trust anyone these days. Not even you, Momus. That's the plan.

Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 28 July 2005 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Come off it Miller, we know you two share a chair.

what's 'bacca'?

and momus, i read MC's statement with a touch of humor, and don't think anyone on this board has been aggressive to phil...anyone that comes around bragging about how clever they are, and how silly we are for believing something in the media is bound to get a response, and it all seemed fairly measured.

several xposts

colette (a2lette), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

conspiracy theories, like truth, are in the eye of the beholder. i'm not sure what either of them are 'for'

charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:02 (twenty years ago)

cuntin' currie cunt isn't quite as good as fucking fanny fartface.

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

I have a girlfriend to verbally abuse me

This piece of information has cheered me up no end

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:03 (twenty years ago)

or, to put it another way, to believe nothing is true, is the same as believing everything is true, the disengagement of critical thought, in favour of being told of grand, comforting schemes

the reality of bunglers is scarier than the comfort blanket of secret order

charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:04 (twenty years ago)

Identity solved, Phil has revealed himself as Calum.

i too am relieved that it wasn't gerbil abuse

We only have one more day of Chair-Share bliss, Raston.

I don't think anything is happening at Euston.

this isn't very funny, but i googled now so:

N_RQ, Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)


I don't think I was ever aggressive was I?

And I'm just trying to wind anyone up. Like I said, I saw a lot of hits coming from this place and wanted to check it out, saw some people misrepresenting me so wanted to state my case.


Conspiracy theories, the real ones, do tend to be dull, fantasy-the reality we generally live in- is fun. Personally I like to know what is going on and don't like being taken for an idiot or lied to.

Still when I'm not all serious and dull i'm a damn funny dude with the looks of bond and starry eyed girls trying to get me into bed. You probably didn't need to know that did you? If you didn't hate me before .............

some conspiracy theories are true. some 'truths' are true
some conspiracy theories are false. some 'truths' are false

we have to come to our theories about which ones are which.

charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 28 July 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)
