Conspiracy Theories

[Earniel]

Oh, the face on Mars. That is a nice one.

I remember that one! Was quite nifty. Amazing what a certain way of lighting can do to a few rocks.

Here's a great quote from Foucault's Pendulum, with all the intermittent chatter removed.

p. 54 Each of us is sometimes a cretin, a fool, a moron, or a lunatic.

p. 55 Cretins don't even talk, they sort of slobber and stumble. You know, they guy who sometimes presses the ice cream cone against his forehead or enters a revolving door the wrong way.

p. 55 (cont.) A fool is one who always talks outside his glass... He wants to talk about what's in the glass but somehow or other he misses. He's the guys who puts his foot in his mouth... Fools are in great demand, especially on social occasions. They embarass everybody, but provide material for conversation... Fools don't claim cats bark, but they talk about cats when everyone else is talking about dogs.

p. 56 Morons never do the wrong thing. They get their reasoning wrong. Like the fellow who says all dogs are pets and all dogs bark, and cats are pets, and therefore cats bark. Or that all Athenians are mortal, and all the citizens of Piraeus are mortal, therefore all the citizens of Piraeus are Athenians... Morons will occasionally say something that's right, but they say it for the wrong reason... Morons are tricky. You can spot the fool right away (not to mention the cretin), but the moron reasons almost the way you do; the gap is infinitesimal... Plenty of morons books are published, because they're convincing at first glance... Morons can even win the Nobel Prize.

p. 57 A lunatic is easily recognized. He's the moron who doesn't know the ropes. The moron proves his thesis. He has logic, however twisted it may be. The lunatic, on the other hand, doesn't concern himself at all with logic; he works by short circuits. For him, everything proves everything else. The lunatic is all idee fixée and everything he comes across confirms his lunacy. You can tell him by the liberties he takes with common sense, and by the fact that sooner or later he brings up the Templars.

Elfhelm,

Great quotes!

[hectorberlioz]

Or what about the Priory of Sion? They are believed to be a hoax. Pierre Plantard used to be a Hitler favorer, but he kept switching his views ot stay out of trouble...

BLOOD SACRAMENT DAGGER OF THE SECRET JESUIT PRIESTS

Read the description for the item. High-larious! And this fellow apparently got his hands on seven of these babies.

EDIT: If you poke around, turns out this fellow has ceremonial daggers used by Goreans, too!

ROFL!

The order of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) was created in 1534 by Catholic priest, Ignatius Loyola to suppress and try to destroy the Protestant Reformation. Today, they are the eyes and ears of Roman Catholicism and have actively intervened in societies, and in governments - during World War II in the Balkans, by slaughtering thousands of the Serbs who belong to Eastern or Orthodox Christianity, on behalf of the Nazis, and by fighting to impose "Marxist Liberation Theology" in countries of South and Central America, in the last two decades. Each of the Jesuits has sworn a pagan oath to the Pope in their own blood.

Wow...

The Priory was only OFFICIALLY registered 12 days before my birth because, of course, my birth was about to be officially registered, albeit in another country. Think of it, the number 12! Isn't that awesome! And, get this, they issued 12 newsletters! Doesn't that tell you everything? You can walk into any grocery store and find the universal symbol for woman - the egg - and open the package! How many are there? 12! It's just uncanny.

I find the moon landing theory rather amusing, largely because at the time of the actual event, there were conspiracy theories that the government had landed there years before and been hiding that fact.

[BeardofPants]

Yeah, it's also funny how they go on about the shadows, and "wind", etc. Poor deluded souls.
*BoP points and laughs at the gullible fools who fall for this shite

[afro-elf]

I wonder what the emotional need of people who believe such is.

[Elfhelm]

They must need to think they are privy to some sort of truth that sets them above the masses of hypnotized drone people. Some shrinks say that superiority complexes are actually related to inferiority complexes. That they feed each other. So a guy who's posturing as superior is probably filled with self-recriminations, and his behavior is a reaction against it, so he is actually suffering from an inferiority complex.

[afro-elf]

Ages ago when I used to post wasn't there an entmoot conspiracy thread or rumor thread?

[Spock]

Conspiracy pin heads was locked back in 2002 as was the Rumor thread.

This thread is now the "active" one.

Domo, sensei.

I think it was The Onion that put up the `official NASA debunker`, who explained it was merely an optical illusion caused by the sunlight reflecting off the massed starships of the Rigelian War Fleet.

This one is wild! Hope you enjoy it. They are saying that contrails are really chemicals to alter our behavior, or something.

Ooh, that is just awesome! Now if we could fit in the other types of egg-packages, that'd be really earth-rending, dontcha think? 6 eggs per package, that's way easy, 6 is half a dozen. But 10 per package (and lemme tell you, the most common thing round where I live!)? I'm sure there's something behind it.

Seriously though, if there's something I learned in my short 20 years, is that ANYthing and EVERYthing can be connected, facts may be twisted, interpreted, or looked upon from any angle you choose, and there will always be at least some people who buy what you came up with...

[The Telcontarion]

Inform yourselves before you assume.


MOD EDIT
**Keep to the subject**

That's simple enough...10-4=6. 4=2*2. 2*6=12!

How does guns and drugs always end up in communities that do not produce any of these things. The Cia smuggles drugs into these communities.

That site is nothing more than conspiracy and rumor propagation.

Merely posting links to it, does not constitue a valid post on this topic here on the MOOT.

If you have a theory or wish to comment on a theory, feel free to do so here.
DO NOT merely point to another site.
