Also known as red mung beans, these beans are known to be made into red bean paste, which is a common ingredient in lots of places in East Asia.

I thought of this megathread because a friend just now mentioned getting red bean paste for me, and I'm looking forward to red bean buns :isaac-pog:

    Been dipping my toes a little bit back into 9/11 conspiracy, I hate to do it but that footage from the other day really had me interested. Holy shit the Bush admin are literal criminals and nothing has changed since. Every administration in this country are straight up ghouls doing wild crimes and it's no wonder the democrats imploded to stop Bernie. There's absolutely no way Sanders would have lasted, he would have been iced or impeached.

      Me too. I'm more confused than ever. I watched the documentary that @TankieTanuki posted, the new pearl harbor, and since its been awhile since I looked into any of that stuff, I guess I missed some information that came out. I'd like to look into it more but any cursory search leads to the most awful anti-Semitic websites I've ever seen :visible-disgust: Why do so many conspiracy theories boil down to "the jews did it"?

        Do you have a link to that doc? I was watching pieces from it and so far it seems to be the most grounded source out there. That poster sent me down the rabbit hole too lol, yeah it's difficult to get into it without running into fascist shit.

          Its like 5 hours long and doesn't really make any suggestions, just points out the serious inconsistencies of the official narrative and the "debunkers" insistent on maintaining it.

          Another good source I found was 911pilots.org its a group of airline and military pilots who insist that no professional let alone amateur could have flown those flight profiles. He's convinced that the uninterruptible autopilot system that boeing developed in the 90s was used to fly those profiles.

            Thanks! I will say this much, there's a lot of weird unexplained shit floating around in regards to that day and the evidence used to explain it away is rather flimsy. Those planes flying at those speeds at such low altitudes is very suspect. So far the idea that the planes were drones and the towers came down from demolitions sounds plausible. Not saying I believe it, but it makes sense. I'd go so far as to say that the water around 9/11 was intentionally muddied by neo-nazis and crackpots on purpose.

              That documentary covers the controlled demolition so well, I'm actually considering it now. Over 100 people reported explosions, they're on film despite the official record saying no explosions were captured on film or audio and survivors reported explosions in the lobby as they were escaping. Its so weird. I still can't understand how you'd keep that many people quiet though. It doesn't make sense. Even people who believe in what they're doing slip up, talk about it, deathbed confession, whatever. Idk what to make of it.

                how you’d keep that many people quiet

                Sometimes people do speak out, but the captured mainstream media simply ignores them or assassinates their character. For example, E. Howard Hunt's 2009 deathbed confession to taking part in JFK's murder was largely ignored.

                There is also this: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/9-11/Premature_death

                spoiler

                Standard WikiSpooks disclaimer: some pages on that domain contain antisemitism, so tread carefully. I didn't find any on that specific page when I skimmed it. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

                Over 100 people reported explosions, they’re on film despite the official record saying no explosions were captured on film or audio

                This is analogous to the 50+ witnesses who saw either smoke or riflemen on the grassy knoll, but were never called to testify before the Warren Commission.

        Why do so many conspiracy theories boil down to “the jews did it”?

        Because a lot of people can see through the lies but still lack a materialist framework to explain them.

        A tragic example is the man who inspired Mr. X in Oliver Stone's JFK: Col. Fletcher Prouty.
