Either that or this is genuine! No New World Order, only a New World of Brotherhood and Unity. 'The workers have to rebel against their masters, and to become masters of themselves. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains' Education is a RIGHT, NOT a privilege No one deserves privileges, we ALL deserve rights! A privilege means that some one is better than you. Which is NOT CORRECT. We ALL breath the same air, we ALL share the same Earth. ONLY Brotherhood and Unity We ALL bleed RED.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1134269NICE TRY BUT YOU FAIL! If it were completely debunked before, this thread wouldn't be here. Obviously, a lot of people were not satisfied with that thread and the ludicrous "debunking" going on there. Somewhere else, it was suggested this might have been some sort of surveillance by the U.S. government. However, this predates the trouble by a very long time. Anyway, here is just some quick information on the problems he had with the U.S. government. [link to en.wikipedia.org] McCarthy era Although Chaplin had his major successes in the United States and was a resident from 1914 to 1953, he always maintained a neutral nationalistic stance. During the era of McCarthyism, Chaplin was accused of "un-American activities" as a suspected communist and J. Edgar Hoover, who had instructed the FBI to keep extensive secret files on him, tried to end his United States residency. FBI pressure on Chaplin grew after his 1942 campaign for a second European front in the war and reached a critical level in the late 1940s, when Congressional figures threatened to call him as a witness in hearings. This was never done, probably from fear of Chaplin's ability to lampoon the investigators. In 1952, Chaplin left the US for what was intended as a brief trip home to the United Kingdom for the London premiere of Limelight. Hoover learned of the trip and negotiated with the Immigration and Naturalization Service to revoke Chaplin's re-entry permit, exiling Chaplin so he could not return for his alleged political leanings. Chaplin decided not to re-enter the United States, writing: "Since the end of the last world war, I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America's yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal-minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted. Under these conditions I find it virtually impossible to continue my motion-picture work, and I have therefore given up my residence in the United States."

There is no sound. Her mouth appears to be moving. She may be talking but there are many reasons why someone's mouth moves. 3. Is there something in her hand? I dont know. The images are not clear enough. Even if there is something in her hand you surely cannot say it is a device. 4. Her hand is not positioned they way a normal person grasps a cell phone while it is in use. 5. Whether it is a man or a woman is irrelevant. Irrelevant data used to cloud the issue. 6. The surprised look on her face. So what? You would be surprised too if you realized someone was filming you. 1.1. The guy plays an old magic trick. He tells you what you are going to see before you see it. Power of suggestion. If he was really interested in knowing what you think, he would not tell you what you will see/think. The same "magic" trick used in the preface of every instructional manuel ever printed in the history of the world? The same "magic" used at the beginning of every rudimentary educational class--pick a topic--in the history of the world? Oh, yeah--that "magic". 2.2 You cannot say she is talking. There is no sound. Her mouth appears to be moving. She may be talking but there are many reasons why someone's mouth moves. One may easily surmise that she's talking, without stretching either logic or credibility. The movement of the mouth-muscles seem rather limited to talking--in it's various manifestations of conversation, screaming, whispering, singing--or to eating, vomiting, or the production of various communicative-grimaces, smiling being but one. She's not vomiting. Nor is she eating. She's definitely making communicative grimaces. Is she communicating with a mental illness--itself as hypothetical as the alleged cellphone--or with another entity via something being held to her head in the general area of her ear? She is, however, making communicative-grimaces, not the least of which is the surprise she clearly exhibits when she realizes that she's in the camera's field as she's making facial grimaces while clutching something in her hand at the side of her head (a pose which is commonplace nowadays, and generally--in theory and in practice--linked to the useage of a CELLPHONE as one walks down the street. 3.3 Is there something in her hand? I dont know. The images are not clear enough. Even if there is something in her hand you surely cannot say it is a device. Equally, and just as surely, you cannot say that it isn't a device. Whatever it is, it's smaller than a bread-box. 4. Her hand is not positioned they way a normal person grasps a cell phone while it is in use. Indeed? It looks remarkably standard to me. And I suspect that the majority of cellphone users have, at one time or another, held their cellphones EXACTLY as that person appears to be doing...not at all a non-standard or gymnastic poise of the hand to the head. Quite the contrary. 5. Whether it is a man or a woman is irrelevant. Irrelevant data used to cloud the issue. I agree it's irrelevant data. But I disagree that it's in any way STRONG enough to have been purposively introduced to cloud the data surrounding the issue. It's a puerile observation, probably attesting more to an aspect of the psychology of the presenter than to any purposeful introduction to "cloud the issue". Also, the REPEATED closeups and reruns of the person focused almost entirely upon the head/hands/face without comment regarding specific morphology. There was no attempt to cloud the issue thru distraction due to the mention of possible gender-confusion. It was a subsidiary observation made by the presenter, perhaps more indicative of an aspect of his psychology than pertinent to the fact. 6. The surprised look on her face. So what? You would be surprised too if you realized someone was filming you. The surprised look and the moment of it's exhibition is significant for several reasons. It strongly indicates that the person was not an EXTRA OR STAGEHAND associated with the filming of the piece. (They might well know or expect that filming would be underway if they were associated with the production, no?) The surprise look indicates both dawning realization of the filming, as the person momentarily rises from the distraction of whatever is going on with their hand. The facial grimaces before this moment of realization indicate a strong probability of communication, either with oneself, or with someone absent but communicating through whatever may be clutched in the hand. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 728979 United States 10/22/2010 04:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it`s obvious that she`s loony Quoting: b0ozerHow so? She's doing nothing more outrageous than the male pedestrian preceding her. She's walking along at a regular pace, despite cane and obesity, which indicates a fairly robust constitution and will despite her obvious age/obesity. She's well kempt, dressed fashionably for the time period. Talking into a cellphone while time travelling is hardly cause for a certification of lunacy. Nor is suggesting that this is what she's doing, having been inadvertently caught on film over 80 years ago. I'd suggest that in our movies, newsclips, and television of today there may be similiarly anomalous incidents being recorded of which we are currently unawares. Would the people of 1928 have recognized the reality of someone walking down a street talking into a cellphone? No. Anyone seen doing that would have automatically been misconstrued as someone walking down the street talking into their hand or handkerchief, due to a lack of familiarity with use-procedures of cellphones by the percipient. So, perhaps in the future there's a form of device, perhaps a temporal scatter/gain device that customarily is worn as a button on one's shirt. How many times may we have missed noticing a person in a movie/tv/newsclip fiddling with a shirt button in exactly the manner which 75 years from now will be recognized as utilizing this "as-yet" uninvented device? A puerile example, but sufficient to get across the idea and the possiblities behind the idea. Time travellers using small devices might well not be noticed by the people they moved through, or if notice their actions might be misconstrued and thereby dismissed. |

Just look at the large, masculine hands and feet. Just look at that masculine face and large nose. Just look at that large, masculine stride. The TV is trying to hide his face after spotting that the theater was being filmed. He disguises this by shaping his fingers as though he was stroking his hair. The movement of his mouth is his swearing at finding himself in a situation where he might be exposed. No closet TV likes suddenly finding himself in the public eye. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 728979Simple? "Simple" doesn't necessarily equate to "fallacious". But look at the shadows. The angle of the sun means that she may have just been shielding her eyes. Couple this with the fact that when she turns slightly towards the camera she bends in one of her fingers through what would have been the body of the phone and I call cultural pareidolia. Plus if this lady comes from a time when time travel is so frequent that out of shape old ladies can scoot back to the 20's then how come she's carrying a phone that big? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1137199This question presumes that there isn't some as yet to be determined peculiarity specific to time travelling that indeed REQUIRES out of shape old ladies to be done safely. Perhaps some peculiar interaction between physiology and the effects of time travelling require out of shape old ladies for success. I'm not seriously proposing this, but it is reasonable to consider it possible. Just as reasonable to presume that, as to presume that it would require athletes, ala astronauts. Sometimes physical effects require exactly the opposite of what logic would indicate. The history surrounding early aircraft crashes as planes broke the sound barrier (terra incognito in the experience of man at that time)shows exactly this..."illogic" in design and response eventually lead to success, whereas "logical" response to the forces engendered while breaking the sound barrier lead inevitably to crashes. |
