What about the molten red-hot slag seen pouring out of the building in some footage? Or the fact that they found molten steel in the wreckage? Thay speaks to the steel actually melting, not just softening.

So, when do we get a "vaccine?" Next month?

I seem to remember reading somewhere many years ago that there are still 40-odd cases of plague every year in the US, mostly in western states like Colorado. The article does mention that there are a few cases every year. So for there to be 1 case now, and they want us to panic, is just fear-mongering as usual.

Watch the whole interview. He's just choking on his saliva. Or post-nasal drip. Happens to everybody sometimes. He takes a sip of water and is back to normal, no nervousness, no more rapid blinking, answers questions calmly and coherently. I've had this happen to me on conference calls too, and I'm sure I looked like a mess.

I'm not defending the guy, and I think there is more going on here, but this is just a very short clip and it is taken out of context.

Yeah, same happens when it's really dry and my nose bleeds. I'll blow it, there will be a tiny bit of blood, i'm like "ok, no big deal," and then 5 or so seconds later it's the 3 Gorges Dam breaking.

If I didn't personally know people who think like this, I wouldn't actually believe they exist, because the level of stupidity is almost unbelievable.

You go up high enough, everything is part owned by Blackrock. If the shooter had been on top of a barn, it probably would have been owned by Blackrock if you dug deep enough. Just saying. It could have been any building and people would be able to find conspiracies.

Did I miss something? When was a Chinese man accused of it? I'm really confused now. And what speech is she talking about?

Yeah, College of Notre Dame of Maryland...aka CONDOM. We always made fun of that since it was an all-girls school. It was not far from the Homewood campus where I was (arts & sciences). Hadn't heard of the Bond to Bond program. Also wasn't aware Pelosi went there. Thanks for the info.

I can confirm that everyone at AGR was back at work and business as usual on Tuesday (I had a conference call with many people at AGR, they looked like they were back in the building). I'm sure they were eager to get back to business, but 1 or 2 days of investigation seemed to be a little short of a time to me for the size of the building, and the magnitude of the event. I'm not sure if they were at work on Monday. At least it looked like they were in a conference room in their building. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ugh, I went to school there. Disliking that place more and more the more I learn about all the crap they've been involved in.

Ugh...calling it an "active shooter situation" instead of an assassination attempt.

Bingo. And they give those things to everybody, for any miniscule reason.

You're absolutely right. And the fact she pulled out her phone and was taking pics/video...this is the first response for a lot of people these days. How many people stand by and film a violent crime, or stand on their porch filming the huge tornado coming at them without regard to their safety?

I would have been on the ground too. On the other hand, we have to thank the people who either took a risk, or didn't realize the danger. We have so much evidence because of them that we otherwise would never see.

That's my take, but I'm willing to be proven wrong if there does turn out to be some conspiracy. It'll be interesting to see how the story develops.

My guess is because working in the plastics industry is nothing unusual. The industry is enormous, and unless he had a really high up position in a well-known company, saying he was a fire fighter is a lot more impressive. It garners more of an emotional response. Plus, it might have been a large part of his life. True, they could have mentioned his job, but these stories want to tug on our heartstrings. Not to sound harsh, Corey should be honored regardless of his profession, but it makes a lot more of an impact to say he was a fire fighter.

Yes. Probably a good portion of the town does. Butler's population is only 13,000. Between JSP and AGR, probably a fair portion work in the industry.

Ok, I'm in the plastics industry. To say "you could be nowhere better" is total BS. There are soooo many plastics manufacturers. I know a lot of companies in the industry, and I had never heard of JSP. And yeah, plastics use petroleum. Nothing new or suspicious about that.

In the town where I grew up, Eastman Chemical (a major producer of plastics) is near Holsten Glass, which is near the Holsten Army Ammunition Plant. So if someone from Eastman was shot, should we automatically assume that it was some huge conspiracy having to do with the military? Sorry, no.

I think he's trying to find connections when there are none to be had, and if there are connections, they are simply run-of-the-mill business connections. A plastics company near a glass company is really not unusual. I can think of several examples off the top of my head. Industries do tend to congregate in certain areas.

Sorry for the rant. He just sounds like someone who knows nothing about the subject and is just trying to get attention.

Oh geez, I hadn't thought of that. I hope not. Thanks for putting that nightmare into my mind 😩

Commercial roof ladders must meet certain code requirements. So looking into that and comparing to images could determine if the ladder is part of the building or was placed there later.
