Tinfoil this, conspiracy theorists that, yet whenever there is a fire/shooting/investigation/leak/terror alert days before an election, it all goes the Bush/Cheney way, doesn't it? What luck! What fortune!

What saps we are.

1. It works that way when you have control of the media
You get to set the tone of the story.

2. yeah, well the powers that know well that all you have to do is...
throw a tinfoil hat on someone (whenever you do something blatantly obvious), call them "fringe", "nutcase", "CTer" or whatever and the rest of the public takes it from there.

That method has been quite effective for a very long time.

3. Yep....and they commit the crimes in the open...in our faces. Who would be so blatant to do such a
thing? THEY WOULD BE. If they were trying to commit crimes, why would they do it in the open for the world to see? I'll tell ya why....so people don't think they're committing crimes! If they were trying to commit crimes, they would do it secretly. Right?:eyes: WRONG! and THAT is what they've been doing since the 2000 election theft. The CT people have been right all along.

4. It's been going on long before 2000...
They all know that the biggest, most blatant lies are the easiest to pull off because nobody can imagine that our own government would ever do such a thing!!!

5. Reichstag all over again, and again....
Too many "coincidences" for me. I have stayed away from most conspiracy theories but I think I'm coming unglued. The power brokers control the message.

6. As far as I'm concerned, tinfoil hats are the new seatbelts.

7. If JFK had worn his tinfoil hat
he might've avoided having his head blown apart.

10. No documents have been destroyed, no reports of destroyed documents have been made,
no claims of destroyed documents will be made.

And really, is December '07 now "before an election?" Criminy, this is like Iraq apologists blaming "the latest violence in the run-up to the election" ten months before ballots are cast.

12. Criminy yourself. "terror alert days before an election" should be read as one phrase
PS who told you "No documents have been destroyed, no reports of destroyed documents have been made", just curious?
