Hate to pull a Glenn Beck fearmongering tactic, but this shit is absolutely insane and scary. http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/020413_DOJ_White_Paper.pdf Basically redefines "imminent danger". "...the condition that an operational leader present an "imminent" threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future." This is an actual quote.

is the heat/night-debate a false flag to keep the critical minds busy with anything but questioning the official warp storylines? 1 2 3

Was "heat/night" created by warp shills planted on this forum to distract us from questioning their official stories? This forum is obsessed with discussing this topic, basically a non-issue. Yet nobody is ever posing the real questions: why are there no new aphex records? why no new BOC? What are the powers that be hiding? The inconvenient truth is: it's a scam to keep us from questioning WARP and the major players behind the scenes (rdj, the sandison bloodline, artificial intelligence brotherhood (likely extraterrestrial)), yet at the same time staying inside their realms (watmm) where they can further manipulate us into buying their records. After all, how could th…

I'm definitely going through one right now. everything in my life is changing at the same time. kid. wife. career. crazy. scary. nervousness. excitement. you've all been through it. when you know, you know your entire world is changing in front of you. you can look back and see the progress and actual steps leading to your feet on the cliff. you look back and smirk because you have no choice but to put one foot in front of the other and step off the ledge into the abyss. could be warm bath water washing over you. could be daggers in the back and a scared look back trying to cling to what was. arms akimbo. but it doesn't matter. you have to go. you have t…

In order to acclimate to your frigid Nordic culture I am going to need to learn a very specific set of skills. I assume many of you are from this collectivist island nation because you produce 90% of the world's terrible electronic music. So if you can advise me on these and other matters of your culture that would be super good of you to do thanks. 1. Enjoy wearing red pants literally all of the time. 2. Enjoy terrible electronic music with tracks like "We're Sitting on Ventrillo Playing DoTA" literally it is called "We're Sitting on Ventrillo Playng DoTA" this is a ridiculously popular song in your island nation. 3. Enjoy shoveling bulging cans of …

I highly recommend you get the audio book 'iPartridge'. What makes it so good is that it's over six hours of the Alan Partridge book narrated by himself. It is really good. What you need to do is set up an account on audible here: http://www.audible.co.uk/t1/Default30_at?source_code=VGR30DFT1Bk9004RA020812 It's free to set up and you get one month free. You can then download iPartridge. You may then, if you like, cancel the subscription but still keep the audio book. I'm not sure if this is the same for around the world but it's good for UK. T&Cs Free download available as part of a 30-day trial of Audible during which you pay nothin…

So I've been checking out the recently seen films thread and some of you post a lot there. How many films do you guys see (throughout)? I'd say I see in average two films pet week, so that would be around a hundred per year. Seems a lot, but I guess some of you see 500, maybe more?

I've implemented (hopefully) a Windows 8 page tile so any Windows 8 users can pin the site to their Windows 8 Start Page, and a nice WATMM-themed page tile will show up. Can anyone with Windows 8 try and post a screenshot? Thanks! If I can figure out how to implement the badge feature Win 8 tiles have, perhaps I can have it show the number of unread or new posts...

I'm having trouble coming up with a coherent introduction at the moment. I make this thread because my head is spinning after days of reading and scrolling through blogs and tumblrs and weird websites. Is the modus operandi of 'underground' culture (outmoded term) shifting? Or is it just putting on a new outfit? My vision is very clouded by a barrage of content right now, so I can't trust my own judgement. Is the increase in experimental electronic music, left-wing fashion subcultures, and 'futurism' just the next phase of the 'hipster (in late 2000's sense, not 90's)' ? Is an attitude phresher and less brain-damagingly petty than before pushing vice and pitchfork…

Morning all, I was in the pub last night and I think 75% of the crowd were on it. I'd say that most boozers round my way the same applies. It just seems to everywhere in the UK, they must be shipping in Jupiter size amounts of it. What do you think of this drug? I'm interested in your thoughts.

Some of you may have been following this, Harvard Prof George Church says we can now make a Neanderthal baby from extracted Neanderthal DNA injected into a human egg. Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, there seems to have been quite a bit of academic (I'm not sure about public) outrage at the idea, saying it's inhumane and disgusting to even consider. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2266108/Neanderthal-man-DNA-experiments-shadow-Dr-Frankenstein.html My first reaction was "cool!" I remember watching "Iceman" as a kid though. If we ended up treating the kid like a specimen it could really suck. But somehow I imagine we'd be more sensible these…

I'm having a superbowl party today, mostly because of my goofy wife. I could give a shit about sports, but she likes football now and I guess it's a good excuse to have a party. Anyway, just wanted to see what you are all doing today. I've got a huge pork shoulder (with some homemade dry rub that I prepped last night) in the slow cooker. Making some BBQ pulled-pork. Glory. I also made some homemade coleslaw. Shit should be tite. I'm also routing for the Ravens because I have a lot of good friends from Baltimore... plus a high percentage of their team apparently is criminally insane. I respect that. Got about 5-7 hours left to cook the pig. Gonna listen …

hello. looks like a major war is about to start in the middle east. israel wants all the land from the nile to the euphrates.syria is already in a false civil war that was actually started by israel. now syria is being attacked by the idf directly. israel ruling likud party believes syria belongs to israel. why should we care? well wars tend to shoot off in unpredictable directions. other nations will join in at short notice. and there may be both real and false flag terrorist attacks in western countries. it is quite likely that usa uk snd france will join the war. in that case we will be forced to fight whether we want to or not. what to do if called up? refuse, we hav…

ok this is old news from 2006 but I just stumbled across it. Pretty cool, who knew that off the coast of burma is an island inhabited by a stone-age people who have had very minimal contact with the modern world, because they attack and kill anyone who comes near? Even has a cool name, Sentinel island. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/1509987/Stone-Age-tribe-kills-fishermen-who-strayed-on-to-island.html
