The other issue is- how did Alex Jones have calling the White House back in July 2001 about airplanes being used to attack WTC?

I’m not even going to try to figure out how AJ (or Bill Cooper before him) got this info but it was being provided to someone well in advance.

The CIA, knew most if not all of the hijackers were in the US.

They knew they were Al Quaid operatives, they believed they were flipping them to work for US.

When they learned that they might be planning something against the US they CHOSE to ignore the warning because they(the CIA) believed if they could flip their targets it would be much more valuable to them and didn't want to have all their work be for nothing.

---

So, you are asserting the following about the CIA:

1) they knew who they were;
2) they knew who they worked for
3) they observed them all take significant flight training
4) they observed them all board transcontinental flights on the same morning
5) they didn't stop them or consider this the execution of an attack because they believed they could flip them to work for us

It shouldn't be long before we have a joint venture between the SEC Network and Court TV just for coverage of all the legal proceedings.

Since when do satire accounts start posting harmful threats? And how do we know which threats to ignore vs take seriously, particularly ones that are very direct, like that one.

People have become very sick, man. Very sick. That's the best thing about the Rant. It may not be intelligent but I don't see many unhinged types around here. Stupid- most definately. Unhinged- no.

Click on the account itself. It’s satire (but not good satire)

FYI- that’s a satire account (but not a good one)

Was it you that just stated you would be concerned for his safety? That sounds like more than just being along for the ride.

I think you totally misread what I said. This is compete honesty:

Yes, I am genuinely concerned that a drunk Ole Miss fan will do something that is stupid (such as throwing crap on the field or something similar).

I don’t think there’s a significant safety issue but our fans are completely capable of making us look terrible on national television, which could destroy a narrative that elevates both schools.

Right or wrong- I’m pretty much flatly honest in my takes.

You're absolutely right. However, he won't settle until he is seen in court. That is how he operates. That isn't my opinion that is taken from him.

I understand.

I totally respect that in a day and age where most men will just take the bag.

100% but this could have been avoided which is why Sankey F'd this all up. the SEC is going to pay $2-3M (which is small but not nothing) when they could have avoided this all along.

It's called a "control premium." They are essentially paying the money to have more control over their member institutions and their product.

The SEC is totally willing to pay this money to maintain the optics that this isn't truly professional football (but it obviously is).

Also, LSU made a play to go to the top in NIL, which is totally fine, but it's really all about optics. They want to keep viewers onboard with what college football provides (passion, pagaentry, history, rivalries, etc.) instead of having a "win at all costs" attitude. Whether this actually works or not- that remains to be seen. I realize that we have a quarterback making more than the Saints quarterback this year- which is crazy- but it is what it is.

In the long-term, the only things that are going to matter are coaching and NIL. The irony of this is that we are both of our programs are set to reap the benefits of this system. Now, I think it best to ask yourself- "Who is unhappy with the current state of affairs?"

Hint: it's not LSU or Ole Miss.
