    US university not to host presidential debate, citing security concerns

    A university in the US state of Ohio has decided to scrap plans to host a presidential debate, saying it is concerned about security as “things have changed” since they made the decision.

    Scheduled for September 26, the debate was supposed to be held in Wright State University’s Nutter Center, but its president said Tuesday he had changed his mind, according o the university’s news website.

    “We were fully aware of the challenges and were prepared to meet them when we decided to host the debate, but things have changed,” said Wright State President David R. Hopkins.
    With a name like that, it may be a good idea to not hold the debate there.

    On the other hand, it could be that the universe was trying to tell them something...

    Ervin J. Nutter was a 1950 graduate of the University of Kentucky who took $360 and started an engineering and manufacturing business that became a leader in making "sophisticated tubular assemblies for private, commercial and military jet engines." (Not clear why Wright State picked him to name their center after).

    The mayor of Philadelphia was a Nutter.

    I went to the Nutter Center to watch DCI championships back in 2002. It's a big place and the lemonades are outrageously expensive.




    If they actually held the debates there, you can imagine the memes that would be pouring out making fun of it.


    My bad, it was WGI, not DCI. Here are some clips from it:

    They put up a curtain to block out at least half of the basketball court area because it was unnecessary space. The amount of precision that those performances require is nuts too. You might have nine or more snare drummers playing something blisteringly fast but it only sounds like 1 guy doing it.

    So, now the MSM is calling anyone who thinks a third world war, or confrontation with Russia is a bad idea, Putin's useful idiot. Since the MSM have a lot of people bamboozled into thinking Putin is all things evil and to be greatly feared, guilt by association is their ploy. Actually, this ploy is old hat for them but, using Putin as associate is a new meme for them with regards to sane people. Zerohedge has a good articles showing the redundancy of this meme.

    Here are a few of them, if not most of them.

    From what I am hearing now - it was a real seizure. She has to be loaded up on seizure medication so that she can "shake 'em off" and recover and act like it was an intentional reaction... wow - imagine an embassy being attacked and she suddenly goes into seizure. Commander and Chief ? - wow.

    More is coming - her private server was hacked - wikileaks has more to come folks...

    EDIT: I moved the youtube to a thread in the news section (here)

    Hillary should have picked Simon for her running mate...

    EDIT: wow - using English language Gematria we get...

    s i m o n = 70

    p a r k e s = 70

    and look at the post number - haha

    (Note: English language Gematria takes each letter of the alphabet and converts it to that letter's number in order of the alphabet - s = 19, i = 9, etc.)

    Could someone please explain what the difference between left wing and right wing politics is in the us nowadays, because i can't for the life of me figure it out anymore except for the little thing called obamacare. Come to think of it, even here in oz it can be difficult to ascertain at times, but it seems downright impossible in the us - at least to us outsiders.

    No difference that I can define, except for using different "dog whistles". It is a form of pandering to different emotional responses. I think politics is a ridiculous concept. It is like having two or more heads on the same body. That is, schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder. Controllers find out what arguments people are having with each other, then dis-inform them even more and create conditions on the ground through legislation. Then they offer to solve their problems. In the end it is little more than the exploitation of people who cannot work out their disagreements amongst themselves. Dysfunction Junction.

    The Flat Earth meme has brought to a focus this dynamic between people. Loving and understanding each other is the most important issue we face and it can be done on any shape of planet. However, that is not what is most important to people. Being right, too often takes precedence with too many of us. We make it about the individual consciousness rather than the collective need.

    Here is a video featuring cee eye ay director J. Brennan speaking about chemtrails in weasel word language. His tone of voice is something to listen to. It is what a psychopath sounds like.

    As if we needed more proof that the MSM does not work in a coordinated meme producing fashion. Just look at the use of the word "dark" in every headline about D. Trump's speech at the RNC.

    Disclaimer: I am no fan of Trump. Although news of his death would not make me smile. Hillary, on the other hand......
