Birth of Clinton Cargo Cult [ wikipedia: what's a cargo cult ? In short, yearning for Clinton-era economic prosperity got cultified. ]...OK. Here's the rap : Any day, Jesus Christ will return in a space ship bringing news that Bill Clinton signed a secret law in 2000 abolishing the IRS. The law, NESARA , "would expose the "Republican Party" for what they are: literally reptile space aliens posing as fiscal conservatives......And thus was a new religion born....Some people have asked, 'Why does Jesus need a spaceship'?". There's a NESARA documentary, and NESARA holds its own DC rallies. Story courtesy of John Gorenfeld, a noted authority on Lunar anomalies.

OK, posing as fiscal conservatives is dead on. The rest I'll have to think about.

Since when have Republicans posed as fiscal conservatives? All I hear out of them now is they're going to halve the deficit by 2009 (t'ya-right). Not that Clinton and the dems in '93 didn't do much more than luck out on an economy ready to boom, bigtime (though the spending restraint shown 1993-1998 (?) was commendable).

I suppose by "fiscal consevative" you mean "spend the fuck" of my money and "conserve with the clench of a nuetron star" of theirs. You know: tax and horde.

This one manages to combine Jesus, UFOs, and tax-protester scams - apparently any resultant lack of believability is more than compensated for by the deliciousness of it to believers. This seems much more like a joke than a "real" scam, the way it combines elements - I mean, I still can't really concieve of it any other way.

Do they have a ritual where they stick cigars in unlikely places?

Psharden: This is great! First thing when I get home, I'm going to convert my car to get out from under the thumb of the same petroleum conglomerate that's been keeping NESERA down. Look at all the diagrams! It must be scientific. Plus, they assure me it's been checked out by an expert technologist.

I like how you can use "Visa, Master Card, Discover, or American Express card to fund your donation to Fourwinds". Because after NESARA is implemented, all credit card debt will be abolished immediately! Yippee!

This seems much more like a joke than a "real" scam But then, L. Ron Hubbard's scam started out as a bet ... Do they have a ritual where they stick cigars in unlikely places? posted by Goofyy at 9:07 AM EST You've been cheating on us and attending the meetings, haven't you? Cigars. Yum!

Troutfishing, is that emblem on that guy's chest a Wu-Tang clan emblem?

By: davy

I thought at first this had to be a joke. But then I got 36, 900 hits for a Google search (that I restricted to results in English in case "nesara" means something in say Czech or Swahili), and I found NESARA has its own Wikipedia article.

By: davy

davy — Thu, 28 Jul 2005 08:59:22 -0800

I goofed: that Nesara Wikipedia article refers to a proposal for legislation that has not yet actually been introduced by Congress (though nuttier laws have been proposed and passed with ease). There's also a Wikipedia article devoted to the NESARA conspiracy theory; see its history page.

Balisong - Nope. I think that guy predates Wu-Tang by a bit. I wish I had one of those suits. Just walking down main street would be a party.
