Conspiracy theorists are the most tiresome fools of this or any other age.

Some good excerpts posted by Ya-ta-boy earlier in the thread. This thread reminded me of a good article from a number of years ago regarding these sad, desperate for attention pieces of excrement.

"It's a panoply of the absurd and yet entirely of this world. Historian Dieter Groh writes that conspiracy theorists "represent a constant temptation for all of us" because they are a constant in western history. According to Groh, "the historical sequence before the French Revolution is one of Jews, heretics, witches, followed by Jews, Communists, capitalists, and secret services" after the revolutionary year of 1789.

As diverse as these theories and their adherents may be, they share a basic thought pattern: great tragedies must have great reasons. According to this way of thinking, it would be impossible for a small group of Islamists to strike such a damaging surprise blow against superpower USA, with all its weapons and intelligence services.

"The wonderful thing about a conspiracy theory is that it allows you to understand everything perfectly," says American political scientist Michael Barkun in an effort to explain the continued success of conspiracy theories. It "discloses to you that all the evil in the world can be attributed to a single cause, and that THEY are this cause, whoever they might be."

Of course, THEY - the Americans, in the case of September 11th - make things rather easy for those with a lot of imagination. That's because conspiracy theories, says Groh, only take hold when they come into contact with reality. To ensure that their "mechanism functions properly, they must fit into the prevailing interpretation patterns of a group, nation, culture or religion the way a key fits into a lock."

After all, didn't Bush and Blair deceive their fellow citizens, the United Nations, and the rest of the world with falsified or exaggerated threat scenarios to make it easier to send their soldiers to Iraq? What about Vietnam, the Iran Contra affair, and US support for Bin Laden and the Taliban when they were fighting the Soviet army in Afghanistan?"


Panoply of the Absurd

I am only involved with the events of the sixties where a mountain of evidence proving that they were a lie has been developed regarding those events. The only reason they have not resulted in trials is because the perpetrator of the crime; the government, has the power to stop those trials.

There may come a day where current events that are in dispute gain the same status; as proven challenges to the official report, and are accepted as facts as well.

Fact: Sirhan Sirhan was too far away, to have fired the fatal shots. He was also in front of Kennedy while RFK's entry wounds were in the front of his body.

Robert F. Kennedy�s assassination is greatly overshadowed by his brother John�s in the American consciousness.

But the inconsistencies in the official account of the RFK case are just as well-documented, damning, and thoroughly covered up. The evidence, when looked at objectively and with an open mind, points to a wider conspiracy and cover-up by forces including the U.S. government and LAPD.


Powder burns on Kennedy's clothing reveal that all three of his wounds were from a gun fired from 0 to 1-1/2 inches away. And yet, all witnesses claim that Sirhan's gun could not possibly have done this, for not one person places Sirhan's gun that close, and according to the general consensus Sirhan's gun never got closer than three feet away.


Obviously Sirhan shot at Kennedy, but it is clear someone else was firing too. And once a second assassin is established, this adds far more than just another lone individual to the murder gang (because of the way many powerful branches of government instantly swung into action to protect the second assassin). Indeed, any second assassin virtually proves that powerful branches of U.S. Government were behind the murder itself - not only because of their stiff resistance from the get go, but because of their ongoing, coldly calculated, and otherwise inexplicable manipulation of evidence for keeping Sirhan as the singular decoy/patsy.

JFK, RFK, MLK, Jr. What other assassinations, tragedies etc. can only be properly understood by conspiracy theories? Is Bush being manipulated by space aliens?

East Timor President Criticises Response After Assassination Bid

SYDNEY (AFP) - East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta has criticised the response of international forces as he lay bleeding in the road for 30 minutes after being shot outside his home last month.



In his first full interviews since he was critically wounded in the assassination attempt, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate described the chaotic events from the moment he locked eyes with the rebel gunman.

"I could see from the face and eyes of one of (rebel leader Alfredo) Reinado's men that he was going to shoot me," Ramos-Horta told The Sydney Morning Herald in an interview published Friday.

"I turned around. It was at that moment that he fired at least two shots, hitting me on the right side of the back.

"If I had not turned at that moment, he would have shot me right in the chest. I would have died immediately."

Ramos-Horta said he was told that United Nations police had obstructed people trying to rescue him as he lay bleeding near the front gate of his house in the capital Dili on February 11.

"I was shouting for an ambulance," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "My security people in the meantime had arrived, and it took so long for an ambulance to arrive.

"It was a battered ambulance without a paramedic, only the driver. Fortunately a Portuguese paramedic jumped into our ambulance."

The president, who is recuperating in hospital in the northern Australian city of Darwin, accused international peacekeeping forces in the country of not acting quickly enough to stop the rebels' escape.

"I would say that the Australian-led forces could have promptly surrounded the entire town closing all the exits, using helicopters, sending immediately elements to my house to get the information on the ground," he said.

"They would have captured them within hours."

Reinado was killed during the attack and eight rebels have surrendered, while East Timor's military and police, with help from the Australian-led international stabilisation force, are pursuing others.

International forces were sent to East Timor after friction erupted in 2006 between army and police factions after a military desertion led to an increase in street violence that left 37 people dead.

You're spamming again, IGTG. This is the second thread I've found that post on.

You're being naughty again.
