Doesn't it depend on whether the universe is infinite, making the possibility of being alone in the universe mathematically impossible?

I suspect that not only is the universe weirder than we imagine - it's weirder than we CAN imagine.

Given that we don't know what the vast majority of it is even made of - this is true

Back to realism and on topic,

They've evacuated buildings at London Bridge station and now there's a suspicious vehicle in Portland Place near the BBC.

Just before a big debate/vote on bombing Syria.

What a load of bull.

So come on Flat Stanley, you broke the news here, give us an update. Did the suspicious vehicle have an alleged Bomb in? Are all those buildings still evacuated to raise awareness of these fake terrorists you keep telling us about? I'm waiting with interest for the next instalment! Surely, this plan must have greatly disturbed the debate/vote to swing opinion on the bombing of Syria!?

So it looks like the UK is going to be dragged into another endless war it's people don't want, whilst David Cameron has the gaul to call people who don't support his agenda "terrorist sympathisers". It all makes me sick to my stomach.

This is nothing more than a starter. Something big and very ugly is in the pipeline. I suspect it will come around September 2017 (for a variety of reasons the US invariably chooses September as the starting month for major military campaigns). That said, I think the Russian move into Syria took a few people by surprise and the countdown could conceivably be pushed forward.

9/11 was the starting pistol for a major rewrite of laws governing civil liberties, incarceration, warrantless surveillance etc. in all Western nations. Moreover, huge sums of money have been invested in internal security specifically in the field domestic counter-insurgency.

Roughly translated - they are gearing up for the kind of civil disturbance which is the product of a major (and very unpopular) war (I also suspect we are heading for yet another economic shock - but that's another issue entirely).

Right now just about everyone in the West is thoroughly sick of war and so in order to make this plan work they are going to have to pull an ISIS rabbit out of a hat and scare the bejeezus out of everybody.

You'll know it's coming maybe two or three months in advance when leaks appear in the media about governments or major international corporations reporting staggering financial losses or gross and inexplicable misappropriation of funds. Such stories are a smokescreen for the real purpose of said funds. Major false flag operations are highly complex and insanely expensive to run. Huge quantities of cash are required to grease the skids in advance so that all obstacles to the success of the plan are removed beforehand. Payoffs to the major players both domestically and in client states. Myriad bribes to elected officials, foreign politicians, local warlords, drug-traffickers etc. Then there are the operational expenses of those agents involved in the plot (at whatever level). We're talking big, big money here. Not the kind of thing which you want putting through the yearly accounts.

Nostradamus turn in thy grave.

False Alarm, Told you it was bull, keep the fear factor raging.

There was also an unrelated task force in operation with more than 2,000 authorised firearms officers took part in the mock terror attack on a London office block.

Around 25 masked and armed officers then entered the building in waves to clear the site and confront the gunmen.

With the air spiked with the smell of gunpowder they were faced with casualties littered throughout the block, a home-made bomb and the gun-wielding "terrorists" themselves.

Crews from London Ambulance Service and Fire Brigade also took part in the role play.

So much easier to stage a hoax.Get ready.

Really wouldn't surprise me if a fake crisis event unfolded today to disrupt the climate change event and start a war, they have already filmed it for the news no doubt..

Another reliable sign that the "Power Elite" (a label first used by the highly influential American sociologist C. Wright Mills) are about to drop the hammer is a brief but intense period of political assassinations. These are the people who would undoubtedly oppose and/or interfere with the plan and consequently must be neutralized before the green light can be given.

You don't get anywhere near the kind of notice as following the money. Maybe two or three days - tops.

A classic example was the murder of Ahmad Shah Massoud by a bomb wired into a TV camera just two days prior to 9/11. Had Shah lived the US would have found it far more difficult to achieve its strategic objectives in Afghanistan following the intervention of US ground forces. John O'Neill - the man whose attempts to apprehend Bin Laden in the years leading up to 9/11 were repeatedly thwarted by the CIA was whacked on the day.

So then working on your "Logic" surely it would have made more sense for them to find something in said Suspicious Car. It's far more likely to keep the fear factor going, than a false alarm, but then I don't see conspiracy at every turn!

You are aware that these Mock Terror attacks are taking place all over the Country quite regularly aren't you? Maybe they are planning on simultaneous fake events everywhere. Oh no!

As we have no proper RAF anymore and no "aircraft carriers" how are they going to get the "Halifax / Lancaster Bombers" to take off. The goverment will also have to get permission from the Museums who have the bombers, they might not want to loan them out to the goverment. I'm with the scruffy fella who sits opposite to the one opposite who forgot all about his child and left it in a pub.,

Watching this commons "debate" is making my blood boil. These people are a far greater risk to our security than a rag tag band of religious fanatics thousands of miles away. Most of the speeches reference ground troops as well, so it's only a matter of time until we have a full blown WW3 on our hands. This will no doubt come just after some form of economic collapse, my bet would be on the bond market bubble bursting at some point next year after interest rates go up.

I can't bare to watch it. that piece of scum Mr Piggy Cameron is lying to you and wants to deceive you and take you to a 1984 new world order where he will be living with luxuries while you and you family are suffering under their dictatorship. He hates you and pretends he cares..when are people going to wake up to this excrement

Only a few months ago he wanted to bomb Syria and to out Assad, arming their made-up terror group ISIS or ISIL or whatever they call themselves these days, they have more name changes than climate change or global warming or global freezing...The FACT is that now in a complete u-turn he wants Assad's help to bomb the made-up terror group ISIS that he has been arming...I think if anyone is a terrorist sympathiser it is David Piggy Cameron and his mates who only are interested in bombing the hell out of Syria and killing innocent people along the way

Cameron has practically no say in the matter - other than serving his pre-assigned role as a kind of legislative rubber stamp. The guy is under all kinds of pressure from interests which are way above his pay grade.

I mean, if you are looking to Parliament for any kind of salvation then you really haven't been paying attention for the past sixty years.
