Crackpot Or The Voice Of Reason?

website I stumbled across. Seems kinda strange to me. personally, I'm sure there're people targeting Vegas, but I don't think he really has any evidence. Illegal arms can be purchased through the right channels. his videos are inconclusive and his photographic "evidence" prooves nothing... but it still kinda makes ya wonder.

Question: Assuming all of this is on the mark, why wouldn't U.S. military groups use weapons they don't typically use?

[Hyphnip]

I don't know. I think he just keps saying that just to make sure we know that they don't normally use those weapons so it is unlikely that it is them.

[ecnarf]

Clearly, he's in on the conspiracy to make it seem like it isn't the U.S. Gov't about to launch some sort of insane assault on Las Vegas.

 

Seriously, though, all this stuff is just kind of... out of nowhere. That's what's so weird about it.

[Hyphnip]

I wouldn't put it past Bush to destroy part of the country to get his approval rating back up.

[sodamntired]

those two videos look a little too...well done...for my tastes.

 

 

i was waiting for an ad for a video game or something to pop up.

[ecnarf]

I'm actually kind of scared to watch that stuff this late at night. I want to sleep and not have nighmares.

 

EDIT: I am very much looking forward to Sparq's input on this topic.

Paranoid schizophrenics do this type of shit. I've seen it before.

I am very much looking forward to Sparq's input on this topic.

With a post like that, how can I resist? Though I think I'm about to disappoint you...

 

1: Anyone actually planning an attack on an entire city is certainly going to have sufficient funding to get just about any kind of weapon they need. That little pile of AK-47s, or AK-patterned variants, is extremely cheap in the grand scheme of things and is also readily available just about anywhere on earth.

 

2: I've never considered plain black clothing and a sling to be 'tactical combat gear'. If that's the case, I can equip a small army out of my closet.

 

3: Operation Dante? Oh, shit! Military manoevers in the NEVADA DESERT?! Say it ain't so... But then, it's probably just Sgt. Bilko headed to the Mirage for a hand or two of Blackjack.

 

4: I wouldn't TRUST or BELIEVE anyone who USED so many CAPITAL letters apparently at RANDOM.

 

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but the probability of a military assault on Las Vegas seems pretty low to me, despite all this shocking evidence.

I'm surprised that so many people are dignifying his site. he's manic. look at his writing. he didn't say anything because he has nothing to say, other than to vent his paranoia

[Hyphnip]

... I wonder...

maybe it's all just a ploy to promote the game

[ecnarf]

And we'll all note that October 2006 passed without incident.

[Hyphnip]

yeah well, that is how it usually goes. if the guy WAS serious I bet he is kicking himself now. maybe he miscalculated. lol

[sockcrotch]

I don't really know if the guy was serious or not. But for some reason I really have an urge to play Rainbow Six...

[darynalexander]

He's neither. He made the videos. He recorded the audio. The whole thing huge concept story. Interesting.

[cringleman]

Since the ad's been linked to, now, has anyone actually played Rainbow Six: Las Vegas? I haven't played those games since Rogue Spear.

[Hyphnip]

I hate games like that mostly... and it's not out yet

[bishopx]

I think it's a lot of baloney...Bush would have to have an iota of intelligence...in order to be behind it...let's just say...the lincoln bedroom light is on...but no one is home.

 

This is fake.

[cringleman]

Okay: I didn't think anyone was actually taking this seriously anymore, but that site's just a viral ad for Rainbow Six: Las Vegas, which is coming out, some time soon. So it's fake -- no worries.

I didn't even notice that. though I gotta give them kudos for going to this much effort. way better than the whole "I love bees" thing.
