7. now, now ... the question isn't whether you're paranoid ...
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 10:53 PM by Pepperbelly
the question is whether you are paranoid enough. I wish I'd said that but didn't. James Cameron in Strange Days.

3. Who needs wacky and loony conspiracy sites?
Heck, all you have to do is listen to the MSM spoon feed the American people disinformation from Shrub and his administration.

13. dude, what in the bloody hell is that about?
Edited on Mon Feb-14-05 11:02 PM by Hell in a Handbasket
makes no sense at all.

"How many whites died while
freeing blacks from slavery?
Do blacks honor those whites?
Blacks did not free the slaves.
Ought not free slaves escape,
or is a slavery cry enriching?
Blacks are enslaving whites -
and will soon extract revenge.
Black children suffer from the
cost caused by black lawsuits.
USA was a redskin nation and
is now a whiteskin nation. It
will become a blackskin nation
and then an asianskin nation.
There are 4 Worlds for 4 races,
but only 1 World is racial slop."

or better yet...

"Truth about Santa Claus debunks
Santa God. God evolves from Santa."

9. don't know if it really counts
as conspiracy but for me it's easily raptureready.com there is a bit of "liberal media" blathering on there so maybe it fits.

Either way it's a curious mix of horrifying and hilarious...kinda like Fox News

Need you even ask? In the last four years, it's gone absolutely fucknuts. There's some stuff up there that would make rense blush.

If that's a little too "reality-based" for your liking, the Zon Power site can be fun: http://www.neo-tech.com/index.php

26. David Icke's -- You want a wild ride, try this one out.
He says that the world is ruled by lizard people from another planet who disguise themselves as earthlings. It's essentially the plot of John Carpenters, "They Live" (staring Rowdy Roddy Piper). It is just bat-shit crazy stuff. However, as a metaphor, it works.

28. I finished watching that not an hour ago!
I had read the short story "Eight O'Clock in the Morning" that was the basis of the movie when I was eight or nine years old, and had only seen bits of "They Live" until tonight when I rented and watched it.

Classic science fiction, IMHO. How many times I have struggled to get people to wear the sunglasses...

29. Put on the sunglasses and turn off that damn generator...
you know the one that lets them "hide in plain sight!" The synchronicity of these two posts and your viewing of the movie proves that

It's not a movie, it's a documentary on the conspiracy of our lifetime


BTW, good parenting or something to have you reading stuff like this at 8/9 (I'm serious, kudos to whomever!).

30. No TV
That was the key in our case. We lived in a small town with a blessedly well-stocked library and I had consumed a good chunk of it by the time we moved.

Watching the movie was somewhat anti-climactic considering the past four years. I couldn't help but laugh when I considered Bush's exhortations that fighting terrorism began with shopping - not that different from the billboards saying "consume."

I could surpass Bill Gates' wealth in less than a week merely by wagering "no" or "wrong" to every conspiracy theory I come across on the net. Might lose one or two a year.

33. Mindcontrolforums.com.
I'm pretty agnostic on the whole ritual abuse/CIA-connection thing, but the reader submitted stories of government harassment are frickin' hilarious.

Especially the guy who believes they're following him. Oh, and it only happens when he does meth. :eyes:

49. I think some of the "victims" on this site really need to
see a psychiatrist. Many of these accounts seem schizophrenic to me - convoluted and rambling and don't make sense even when you try to come at them from an open-minded viewpoint. I think there are a lot of mentally ill people here.

50. I totally agree.
Some of the stuff sounds lucid enough to read like a really cool science-fiction story (like this one, which was kind of creepy: http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/v/ajh.htm . Definitely read this one, it was pretty cool).

Then there's this one. No other way to describe it: absolutely drugged-out batshit crazy. Why they published it, I don't know, but this guy's obviously severely fucked up. I give you.....Mr. Abuse. http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/v/mr_abuse.htm

fake conspiracy theories promoted by the Bush administration to cover up 9/11. Seriously, what is the point of this thread? To question the official story of 9/11 suddenly makes one "wacky" or "loony"? There are too many clues to ignore.

41. FreeRepublic.com
They are convinced that our mainstream media apparatus, which covers for Bush and the GOP at every opportunity and loves to bang the drum for war, and is owned by only a few giant, GOP-supporting conglomerates, including some of the top weapons makers of the world, is LIBERAL!


I think that has to be the most around-the-bend, divorced-from-reality, bonkers conspiracy theory I've EVER heard.

56. TIMECUBE - NATURE'S HARMONIC SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE
Edited on Tue Feb-15-05 10:10 PM by DireStrike
http://www.timecube.com /


...................................................................................
There is no human entity, as there are but
human Cubics, via 4-corner metamorphosis.
...................................................................................
Educator ban of Time Cube free speech
is Nazi like evil. Professors are evil
bastards for suppressing Time Cube, and
deserve 'tar & feathers' by betrayed students.
..............................................................................
I will give $10,000.00 to 1st education
institution or to the 1st professor who can
disprove 4-Day Time Cube. Evil professors
ignore this as a challenge would indict them.
...
Bible's and science's 1-day
Earth rotation are evil scams.
...
Not 1 educator on Earth has objected to
being called a stupid and evil bastard
for not teaching Time Cube. They know
that it's Truth and would expose them evil.

...

Educated people are stupid cowards.

Not a single university has accepted my challenge
for a public debate of Nature's Time Cube. They
are actually brainwashed stupid and decline any
public debate for fear of public embarrassment.
Physicists forbidden to acknowledge Time Cube.
Stupid educators always beget stupid graduates.
Not one knows of their 4-corner metamorphosis.
