Why Common Knowledge Changes The World

This was the original 14 minute video that I was remembering. Time2Help’s post above is an abbreviated version.
At the 4:00 mark (for 45 seconds), it shows a National Geographic “try and fail” to get a pile of loose thermite to cut steel.
Then the engineer documents his learning curve as he discovers how to focus the heat of the burning incendiary, thermite, to cut steel beams and cut the heads off bolts.

If anyone want solid evidence that thermite can cut steel, here it is.

I agree with TechGuy…it’s a case of certain elements of the deep state aiding and abetting the wacko terrorists to create an event that assures continued funding and an opportunity to do some front running (Rickards).

You believe they lied when they said suicide, lied when they said with blanket but when they said he is dead you believed. Why? There are no videos or photos of him dead. He may or may not be dead it depends on what they want us to believe. Just maybe he is worth more to someone alive than dead. What if he had a death switch, then the people who want him dead would want him very much alive. If needed the people holding him could torture him to give up all of his data to them. The kidnappers would then gain the power over others that Epstein had. This is obviously speculation, but it would be easy to show solid evidence if he is dead. I don’t think they can show he is dead but they may be working on the fake death story with a convincing video. Be patient it may be coming.

All the ping-pong in this thread reinforces my belief that we won’t settle much if anything unless a new Inquiry is commissioned, one with strong powers, broad terms of reference and a decent budget.
Yeah, wouldn’t that be nice.

Two years ago, John Rubino of DollarCollapse.com warned of ‘parabolic’ recreational vehicle (RV) sales and wrote the following:

What’s the last big toy you buy when things have been good for a really long time and you already have all the other toys? An RV, of course. A dubious thing to own if you already have a house, but when the good times seem likely to roll on forever, why the hell not? And what’s the first thing you sell when you lose your job and your stocks are tanking? That very same RV. Which makes new RV sales a useful indicator of our place in the business cycle.
Well, new RV sales are suddenly slowing down fast. Two days ago, the WSJ reported:
Shipments of recreational vehicles to dealers have fallen about 20% so far this year after a 4.1% drop last year, according to data from the RV Industry Association.
And today, Zero Hedge came out with a report titled: This Is The Worse I've Seen It" - Recession Imminent As RV Industry Crashes Which includes this chart shows how shrinking (i.e. negative growth) new RV sales has happened in advanced of the past several recessions: Having to give up your toys is a recession indicator Joe Sixpack understands. He's fast waking up to the growing possibility that the next few years may be unkind to his wallet.

I really dislike the term “private knowledge.” It is so obsequiously value-neutral. My default assumption is that all the messages I get from the culture are lies. I put a very high value on gaining a coherent world view in which I know who the true evildoers are. With the help of radical critics, I’ve painstakingly deduced what I believe to be true.
For me, seeing through the lies is the most important achievement of my becoming an older adult.
I think the term “private knowledge” must come out of bloodless social science. It would be better psychologically for all of us who have awakened from the cultural Kool-aid to assume what we have deduced to be true is actually true, despite the absence of social consensus. To call what we know “private knowledge” is to rob us of our very hard-won understanding of how the world actually works. It’s the truth, dammit!
