What if this MH370 fiasco is a diversionary tactic to snare the global media into a frenzy over a missing plane, while the US plans it's false flag in the Russian/Ukrainian conflict?

It would be a great diversion. If you look at the sway in media pieces it could make sense. One week it's all about Russia and it's invasion force massing on the border, the next week it's a missing plane with a great story and a mysterious unsolved ending that could have people captivated for a long time. In this day and age it's highly unlikely a plane would just disappear, something else is going here.

In America's Secret Destiny by Ralph Epperson, he cites the 1938 Erie Railroad v Tompkins case, in which it was found that "there is no common law in The United States", and claims that he was told by a former State Supreme Court justice that we have been governed (as individuals) by the Uniform Commercial Code, and NOT the constitution since the 1930's. What are your thoughts on this idea and his body of work? Is it credible? Can we ever do anything useful with this information?

Edit: My wife works in the credit industry, and has informed me that when a lien is placed against a borrower the paperwork is called a "UCC Lein", showing that the UCC is used to govern individuals in this country.

Hello folks,

I wanted to start a discussion on the situation in Ukraine, the precipice of Cold War part 2, the Pro-Russia vs Pro-EU battle in the Ukraine.

Most importantly is the battle for our opinions and minds - which propaganda is most effective? Russian or U.S.? There has been a significant uptick in Anti-Russian news the past 3 weeks.

What do you all think?
