You should have messed with 'em and said you were abducted. You could have given 'em something to talk about when they got back to jolly old England.On Wednesday, May 16, I spent several hours on a hot bus in a neon desert called Las Vegas with a merry band of British conspiracists during their journey around the Southwest in search of UFOs, aliens, Area 51 and government cover-ups, all for a BBC documentary...
How blithe.
Are you saying that every single conspiracy theory has been bogus?
A whole LOT of us remember when the GULF OF TONKIEN conspiracy theorists were considered nuts.

using that logic any two people who plan anything areThe idea that Rich and Powerful People, Corporations and Governments would actually get together and plan something is utterly ridiculous!
And anyone who even thinks so should be Evaluated by Medical Professionals and have their guns taken away.
Isn't that the very definition of Conspiracy? Now attaching "Theory" to it makes it seem like it's an unsettled subject amirite?using that logic any two people who plan anything are conspirators.The idea that Rich and Powerful People, Corporations and Governments would actually get together and plan something is utterly ridiculous!

I have been as critical as just about anyone in regards to Conspiracy theories about 9-11, a faked moon landing, and the JFK assassination. There are crazies out there amongst them (9-11insidejob is a good example), but I would say that most of them are quite sane. They just believe differently. Hell, imo, belief in obama and the progressive policies is crazier than any CT I've heard (the aformentioned 9-11IJ notwithstanding).
I don't agree with them but that doesn't make them sick. Most psychologists are full of shit anyway. i take what any of them say with a very large grain of salt.
every four to eight years there is a new world order... the new world order you're talking about is a old as the first prophesy mentioning a messiah.Isn't that the very definition of Conspiracy?

So let me ask you this: Is the Idea that there is a "New World Order" a "Conspiracy Theory" or not? And is the idea that the Federal Reserve is a Private Bank and not Government run a "Conspiracy Theory" or not?
How does the President know WHO to nominate? The Fed tells him.Facts: Yes, the Federal Reserve banks are privately owned, but they are controlled by the publically-appointed Board of Governors. The Federal Reserve banks merely execute the monetary policy choices made by the Board.
I had this conversation with Toro a while back. Toro said that the Fed received 78 Billion in interest and paybacks from the loans it made to foreign banks. Which sounds like a big number on it's face but when you consider that the Fed actually loaned out 7.77 Trillion, it's gonna' take at least 100 years to get all the money back. Can YOU get a 100 year loan? No.In addition, nearly all the interest the Federal Reserve collects on government bonds is rebated to the Treasury each year, so the government does not pay any net interest to the Fed.
Except for the Rothschild Family in London and Germany and, the Warburgs in Germany. But of course you can just dismiss all that by calling it a "Conspiracy Theory".Facts: No foreigners own any part of the Fed.
