The Economist cover from 2012....

[The Duke]

Me neither, but you got me curious so I looked at a video that 'decoded' this illustration... and the person who did the video said that the guy on the left is former CIA director General David Petraeus, who reportedly had an extra-marital affair..... and the other guy is said to be Silvio Berlusconi, the former Italian Prime Minister who was involved with a bunch of sex scandals and other controversies throughout his term in office. So that makes sense, them falling in the 'lust pit.' Not sure about the Reagan-looking guy, but he looks familiar. Yep, I agree it is quite the cartoon, I find things like this interesting..... It reminds me of all the eerie seemingly prophetic stuff in popular culture about "the last US president", but that's a topic for another thread.

Now I just need to know who the Reagan-looking guy with the flat top is!

He does look familiar..Grrr!

Ike warned of the Deep State (Military Industrial Complex is part of the DS) in 1961. No one listened.

Yep. And didn't JFK also warn about certain unelected powers behind the scenes? I think it was in one of his last speeches.

Kennedy and Eisenhower did.

I like both those presidents, and Truman, too.

All of them were before my time, but despite his faults, I like Kennedy too, and thankfully his words in that speech I mentioned live on.

Kennedy may have been a sexual predator, but when it came to representing Americans and the people under him, he did the right things.

Criticism from our liberals and assorted mutants aside, it is very interesting to see a 2012 image of Hamas engaged in violent terrorism from a paraglider’s position.

His Peace Speech a few months before they murdered him might be what your referring to. It was his greatest speech and some think it sealed his fate.

Nobody's been murdered in Gaza Hamas lover

Yeah those thousands of dead Gazans is a conspiracy theory.

You are one fucked up individual.

Simon Cowell.

It's all just a game, man. To see who can put on the best show. Reality tv...

I don't see the resemblance.

They are dead because Hamas placed them in harms way. Murder has a definition. They were not murdered. Don't be dense. Or a useful idiot

You are one hateful ignorant Zionist.

Thank God most our my countrymen aren't baby killers like you. It gives me a small level of optimism.

That does look like a good one, thanks. But actually, I was thinking about this one...



(now that I see the date, it wasn't one of his last speeches)

 

[buttercup]

A few more interesting Economist covers. Predictive programming?

 

[buttercup]

And this one is interesting to me. I've posted this before, a few times, but might as well put it on this thread.

That was a great speech!

Yep! I don't think I've seen that documentary before....I'll watch it later tonight. Thanks!

Rereading this nonsense one can't help but wonder why this thread wasn't moved to the conspiracy graveyard

It’s funny what people like you consider conspiracy theories. You consume and believe corporate media narratives, which are conspiracy theories. The truth is unknown to you.

If the corporate media were to suddenly tell you the truth, you’d realize everything you know is wrong.

Thank you. I'm tired of deceived people....And I too find it amusing when they attack those of us who don't blindly go along with whatever the public is being spoon-fed by liars in govt / media.
