conspiracy theories

Posted: May 4, 2011

At first the outlandishness was mildly entertaining. Now, it is getting tiresome. Yet the sane citizens will continue on disregarding the tinfoil hat crowd, as always.

There certainly is an abundance - I wonder

How many people believe in all/or most popular conspiracy theories? I would like to see a study/poll on that.

Conspiracies - Informed

How about these conspiracy FACTS?

* JFK assassination

* Lincoln assassination (members of his administration were in on it)

* Two failed attempts on President Andrew Jackson's life

* NUMEROUS assassination plots against Hitler (ever see the movie "Valkyrie?")

* Manhattan Project: 130,000 U.S. citizens employed; NOBODY blabbed

* Tuskegee Experiments: Medical experiments done on black U.S. servicemen without their knowledge or consent.

* MULTIPLE atom bomb tests in Nevada; again, no informed consent.

The list goes ON AND ON.

EVERYWHERE there is POWER one finds CONSPIRACIES. Not every "conspiracy theory" is real, and nobody is suggesting that. But there are COUNTLESS REAL conspiracies -- that took time for their existence to be knonwn -- so you'd better be careful throwing the term "conspiracy theory" around because you may be EATING your words.

I don't have a paranoid type personality. I am a proud citizen enjoying the sense of national unity that most feel as a result of our leader's flawless planning and our amazing military's execution of justice.

Sounded real good until you got to the part - about leader's flawless

planning....The CIA and the SEALs did the planning. All President Obama did was give the order to go ahead. And I do commend him for that.

She sounded real good after the part about the leader's - flawless planning.

Sorry you and your fellow fringers are having such a bad week.

Fringers? Now everybody who doesn't goose - step with you guys is

a fringer? Was the President made dictator and we didn't get the memo?

I said I commended him for making the decision...that makes me a fringer?

Ok...name calling it is. Just keep swilling the kool-aid, demonizing people you don't even know, afraid to address the real issues at hand.

It's about time you looked behind the curtain at the real Oz.

You're funny.

always sound good - flydom

Jimmy carter surely appreciates your accurate attribution. Possibly even My Pet Goat does also?

Do me a favor....ask your "leader" to use - some of his "flawless

planning" to address the deficit, spending, debt ceiling, Texas' request for aid, any of the above, since his planning to date makes him look more like Jimmy Carter (you brought him up) AND your pet goat (you brought him up too) than anything remotely resembling a leader OR flawless.

I will be waiting for your "leader's" response, as I am sure you will need to consult him so as not to resort to another meaningless drive-by hit post.

Thanks so much.

Good post - bout time someone points out the fact - nm

instruct us on how one goes about better handling the relentless onslaught of Fox News divisive dead air derisions as they ramble through the echo chambers of the fringosphere or the pathology and poppycock of the paranoid delusions issuing forth from the conspiracy theory rumor mills?

Personally I think tacit dismissal is the way to go, but for those who do engage, ridicule and sarcasm is WAY too kind of an approach to the utter ignorance and despicible hatred perpetrated by pathetically petty partisan snipers in the wake of this extraordinarily significant turn of events in the war on terror. Most of us, regardless of our individual political persuasions, are experiencing tremendous relief on behalf of 9/11 and military families (who have had to bear more than their fair share of the burdens of the WOT), the joy that comes when justice is served, a collective sense of vindication, national unity and pride in simply being an American. Those partisans who think they can seize the moment to advance their political agendas by using such reprehensibl tactics are clearly out of touch with reality and in my estimation, not worth the time of day.

Go ahead and flame away, hurl the buzz words and catch phrases, call me horrible names, snip and snipe to your heart's content and condemn me to burn in the fires of Hades for all eternity. All you can do is preach to the choir, which won't change a thing.

That one-line post flipped a switch to induce - this tirade? Yikes. nm

the people who are not liberals, democrats, or communists handle the relentless onslaught of MSNBC, Huff, and every other liberal media outlet's divisive dead air derisions as they ramble through their fringosphere paranoid delusions, never reporting facts, but instead making up these insane accusations of conspiracy theory. Then they come to the board and unless you are drooling and praising the current One praising how he single handedly got Osama. Of course not giving any credit whatsoever to the SEALS or military. All to the One and anytime anyone here says "excuse me, but you do realize the SEALS are actually the ones who got him"
are called racists and conspiracy theorists.

Personally I'm sick and tired of the insane accusations of "conspiracy theory" when there is no theory. Tired of hearing people being called racists when they talk about issues.

I for one think that anyone who is out celebrating like they are at a 4th of July or New Years Eve or a sporting event are sick sick sick - and that especially includes O'Reilly. Yes, be glad that this mass murderer is no longer around, but for pete's sake have some decency. Our loved ones that have been killed would not want this. It's neither patriotic nor empathetic to be dancing in the streets over this. This is a sobering moment that people should sit back and quietly reflect on the moment. O'Reilly interviewed a priest last night (forget his name and I'd have to listen to the interview again (too busy yelling at O'Reilly and what a moron he was), but I agreed with what the Priest was saying. But the grand inquisitor was being rude and obnoxious telling the priest he was wrong. O'Reilly showed the real meaning of pompous arrogant you know what. I'm boycotting Fox news and never turning it back on. It's a tool and I refuse to watch it any longer. One less person for their ratings. Thanks O'Reilly for opening my eyes. Unfortunately there is no other station to watch. Probably will go back to CNN.

I'm not going to flame you or call you names or phrases as I hear it enough from the people (not saying you) that come on this board and cut down others who don't believe lock, stock, and barrell the way they do. I hear them being called conspiracy theorists, etc. And why? because they read news reports from intelligence agencies both here and in Europe, Russia, China, and other countries. That we listened to Madeline Albright and other high officials, that we read the reports of high military officials who just happened to know what's going on and that they said otherwise. So that's a reason to call them conspiracy theorist and all other slews of nasties? I don't think so.

I wish people could sit back and not let political parties interfere in the truth. I wish if people protested the wars under a republican president they would also protest the wars under a democratic president. When people will learn that both parties are exactly the same, no difference and that the label of republican or democrat, independent, etc is only put there to divide the country.

Everyone is entitled to believe what they want and they should not be ridiculed just because they don't believe the same way that the people throwing out the nasties do.

What is getting tiresome is if someone doesn't agree with you or reads articles written by politicians, intelligence agencies, military personnel, etc you call it a conspiracy theory. Yes, that is getting tiresome.

Sane citizens...I see that does not include you. The sane citizens don't buy the BS. The sane people will do the research and not let someone tell them how to thing and what to say. They will weight the facts, consider the sources and situation, and make their own informed decision. They are not mind controlled and toe the party line that everything liberal is good and true and everything otherwise is a conspiracy theory, racist, or lies.

Your accusations of conspiracy theory may have been amusing at first, now it's just a broken record with no fact to back up the accusations.

You, my dear, are one of many in your tinfoil hat crowd conspiracy theory.

Before you include anyone in the "sane" crowd - no1joe

[ In Reply To ..]
you need to take into consideration whether or not it is "sane" to have such an inflated sense of one's self to think that people around you, those in the public spotlight, or people in power have nothing better to do with their time than to cook up schemes and come up with elaborate plans in order to fool you. That is the mindset behind the "sane" who buy into consipiracy theories... they believe that their opinion is so important that people will go to leaps and bounds in order to try to fool you, which, of course, they never will because you are way too smart for that. The same "sane" thinking goes for those who believe that aliens travel here from billions of miles away just to probe them and those who believe that the government has come up with some sort of super high-tech radio waves in order to read their minds (that's where the tin foil hat reference comes from... wrap yourself in tin foil to disrupt the radio waves).

Thank you, my dear, into your insight into sanity. I now officially declare myself insane.

Since you felt the need to comment on - it, obviously you are not

among the "sane" citizens.

Why not debate a real issue instead of snarking at people? We know you president of the BO fan club. We get it. Now could we talk about something else? lol

Excellent point - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
There are many important issues going on. Seems like all the fan club does is stir the pot here. Not posting anything except to cut down those that don't believe the same thing she does.

The panic is slowly sinking in to them that things are not really what they are putting out and now the minions are running around trying to do damage control. It only makes their side look more pathetic.

I agree...lets debate issues, not start whole new thread to gleefully cut down others. Definitely not in the "sane" category.

Food for thought. I know this will be blasted because of the source, but I find this a very interesting concept, given how Dick Cheney (especially recently) has made it his one-man mission to destroy the integrity of the Obama administration. I wonder how many of Cheney's old CIiA buddies he is still in contact with on a daily basis. I'm sure his list of "contacts" contains a plethora of "questionable" personalities from the "old days." Is it a coincid ...
