Those wild and crazy conspiracy theories

[Stan Reid]

The ones I think are most possibly true:

Flight 800 was accidentally shot down by our own navy and covered up as a cya.

FDR knew in advance that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked and allowed it to happen in order to change public opinion regarding America's entry into WWII.

The Bali bomb was actually a suitcase nuke and that was concealed in order to quell citizen fears.


The one I most wish was true:

Roswell

Stan:

I agree with the one about FDR.

Then there was the unwarranted attack on the ship the USS Liberty by Israel...our "ally"... in 1967 that the media has buried as much as possible from the eyes of the average American citizen. Its just one example of the insidious Zionist clout in the U.S.

[Stan Reid]

Hi How,

Although I'm generally pro-Israel, I agree there was something fishy about that deal.

Until he died, Richard Nixon was the Pan-emperor of the Earth. I actually heard a guy call into a talk show with that one. Perhaps it was Larry King but I'm not sure.

Then there was the cover-up that the Nazis tested an atomic bomb in April of 1945, 3 months ahead of us. I think there was actually a book about that "fact".

Also on the nuke front, that America secretly used atomic weapons in Korea.

And, in 1980, South Africa and Israel conducted a joint nuclear test in the Indian Ocean. This was originally reported as an atomic test as per satellite detection but it was later described as a "lightning bolt" - yeah right.

These are conspiracies of silence.

Hi All,

It's interesting that in amongst talk of conspiracies and cover-ups about Flight 800, Pearl Harbour, insidious Zionist clout and who dropped the first A-Bomb, any suggestion that the murders of five Whitechapel tarts was the result of a conspiracy/cover-up is met with a sharp collective intake of breath, a rolling of eyes and streams of invective.

Why is that?

Largely because all Ripper conspiracy theories so far rely on conspiracies that are incredibly counter-productive and/or pointless.

The willingness of conspiracy researchers to bend facts and occasionally outright fib about evidence (a la Knight) doesn't help, either.

Dear Simon:

In the cases of the other events there are considerable reasons presented for a conspiracy or cover up.

In our Case, none have ever been provided that make sense or have a cause/effect purpose that cannot be dismantled. As far as our Case is concerned, there certainly has been a conspiracy suggested and mentioned so much so to the point that most civilians hear of that motive or reason behind the WM to a greater degree than any other as the underlying cause for the crimes.

Several proposed suspects in the pantheon are charged with complicity for reasons other than psychopathic behavior or psychotic episodes.

I'm curious as to what purpose killing a series of women in such a manner would serve. Making some street prole disappear in London wouldn't have attracted so much notoriety and would have been in all honesty far easier and less risky to facilitate.

So where's the beef,Daddio ?

[Stan Reid]

Yes, and Diana was taken out by the Royal family.

Pope John-Paul I was poisoned because he was going to out something regarding the church.

Both are unlikely and I'm not sure if the first one is even possible.

Then you have a book full connected to the JFK assassination.

We are holding space aliens captive at Groom Lake though, harvesting the knowledge from their 10,000 I.Q. brains.

Where do you think we got the Sham-Wow?

Hi Stan

I don't know about the conspiracy theories that are bandied around but there does seem to be better evidence that the Tonkin Gulf incident of 1965 was manufactured by the Johnson Administration to give an excuse to go to war with North Vietnam, as was the evidence over Saddam Hussein's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" presented to the world in 2002-2003 that gave the excuse for the second Gulf War and led to the mess we are in now economically.

You want a real freakin' conspiracy! Rush is the fourth most successful band in the history of Rock (surpassed only by the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Aerosmith) and they STILL aren't in the goddam Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

THAT'S a conspiracy!

[Simon Wood]

Hi Howard,

No beef, Daddio. Just curious.

I had never heard that one but now see it's all over the net.
