    Conspiracy within a conspiracy. The final stage of human evolution is illumination so they say. Don't buy it.

    While there are extremists who will believe every single conspiracy, there are those who will disbelieve every one of them because they think the conspiracy people are crazy.

    They can't all be wrong.

    It's basically an insanely crazy conspiracy that those in power and former Presidents of the US are reptilian aliens that have been controlling how the world is run for a long time, flying or teleporting from their hollow base; the moon. :rolleyes:
    HEHEHEHE!! And they call the alien conspiracy crazy!!!

    Yeah I don't get those people!
    Because there's a conspiracy and because they are an intellectual they just have to disagree!

    Really?? I mean they'd still disagree even if 5 civil engineers told em that 9/11 was a controlled demolition because of the way the Twins fell lol! Due to them having a "limited understanding of science".

    You have to admit that Barbara Bush does look like Satanist Aleister Crowley though.

    JFK - Yes
    9/11 - No, if it was the US government I think it would have leaked
    Moon Landings - Hoax
    Area 51 - Yes
    Global Warming - I am not convinced
    Y'know, a certain phrase about stopped clocks springs to mind here.

    I love conspiracy theories, although some I wouldn't admit openly to believing to some people because they might deem me crazy =(

    i'm gonna respond to your 911 post, i also want to point out that i believe the 911 "conspiracy theory" as you put it and i am skeptical about jfk but i haven't researched that as much. The rest i think are silly, like the moon landing being faked, i mean c'mon.

    With 911, please tell me how they identified all the 19 hijackers some of which are still alive today? Or at least after the incident for a few years?

    You also need to remember that these buildings were actually designed for plane crashes.

    Who won on the insurance a large sum of money? Twice for 2 towers? Such a big insurance claim to make specifically one that lists terrorist attacks.

    What is this about iron spheres being found on top of nearby buildings in the rubble? (can't be iron workers on nearby buildings from which samples of the dust were taken).

    Another one is why are the collapses so fast? They take the same amount of time to fall as demolitions, they look the same, why is this now completely different in terms of collapse pattern?

    How did the core columns fail all along the tower?

    You mentioned planes went into the buildings, yet remember that no plane went into building 7.

    Why are there projectiles flying out of the building and being accelerated in different directions?

    The best guy to watch i would say is the youtube channel "warcrime911". He has a lot of very logical arguments that are rational and make sense.

    Then for the pentagon i would recommend this video despite the long time which you'll have to excuse.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5fhqc-lj-o

    i haven't discussed 911 in a long time but these are primarily the key points (i may not have mentioned them all and you'll have to forgive if i make some mistakes).

    Edit: Another thing to add: Nanothermite found by scientists in the dust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st5iod17gn8

    edit 2: You can also paint nanothermite so that when it is subject to fire (from the planes), you get strucural failure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixmjq...eature=related

    Re: Conspiracy theories
    There are 2 kinds of conspiracy theories those listed in the OP which are obviously troll ones people don't actually believe. Then there are those which could be real and more and more people are beginning to accept them. For example there is the gulf of Tonkin incident which some would have considered a conspiracy theory before but now has been declassified and is a known false flag attack by the US.

    First of all a lot of people need to shake themselves away from the phrase "conspiracy theory", it is nothing more than a label. Free your mind from media and cults and think for yourself. Do research on both sides of everything that happens in the world. Yes, that includes 9/11 and then come to your own conclusions. It doesn't make you a nutter to question anything in life, it certainly doesn't make you a nutter to have a mind of your own (although society tells you otherwise). I'm not saying what I think is true or what I don't. But the human race is being dumbed down, hence celebrity culture, showbiz, viral crazes such as One Direction... everything points towards one thing = materialism which of course points towards £££.

    I dunno why JFK was shot, or if the alleged illuminati did kill Micheal Jackson. One thing I do know however is that every single one of us trade in labour for a currency that effectively doesn't exist, it's manmade. This makes us, as human beings, pawns in a system in which very few reap 100% benefit.

    It always makes me laugh when people say they can't understand The Matrix (as in the movie), if you want a definition of it... look around you, it's happening now.

    Be a human and not a robot.

    The **** are you talking about? Society isn't being dumbed down, this is the kind of statements idiotic pseudo-intellectual make. Celebrity culture of some sort have always existed, the world is much more globalized now and so is the UK hence it's not local celebrities that are worshiped rather national celebrities. How are one direction so bad? Are they much different from The Beach Boys (famous 60s boy-band)? Content seems a little similar. So what if it's man-made? You do realize we benefit as well, right? This is why 90%+ of us have homes, electricity, entertainment like TV/PCs and good night outs.

    The problem with alternative media is it lacks sources. Conspiracy theorist like to think hey're freeing their mind but the information stated in alternative media is generally unverifiable and weak.

    I have no big problem with One Direction, but they're closer to Winnie Mandela FC than they are to the Beach Boys. The Beach Boys played all their own instruments and Brian Wilson wrote probably 30 hit songs, not to mention Pet Sounds.

    People do acquit them as nonsense but false flag things aren't new. Look at the Nazis and setting fire to the Reichstag, blaming it on the commies.
    I don't think you should always accept the official reports unquestionably.

    Re: Conspiracy theories
    I don't believe in the more ridiculous side of the spectrum (basically lizards). But I like to challenge/consider alternatives to world events than what has been told to me by the media. The media are known liars, as are politicians. I don't see why it's so difficult to comprehend that we might be being lied to in certain aspects.

    If it's all a load of old *******s, can one of you debunkers explain this speach?
