So is it? And if so, which conspiracy theory is 'currently' more hot than the others?

I'm just trying to keep abreast of the latest........

(edit: I guess the 'hot' one would be the one about the thermite, but you know what I mean.)

I forgot to get back to it. Link it again (or tell me where it was) and I'll watch some while I eat my late dinner. I'm almost done cooking.

edit: I found it.

In the intro he mentions '100 prominent Americans' who are calling for further investigation.

Does that include Charlie Sheen?

The listening continues. (I make a mean spaghetti sauce).

It seems to be this month. Last month, it was dominated by the right wing whack jobs, this month the conspiracy whack jobs, next month will take a shift to the left, then it will settle into a centrist whackjob forum by mid March.

haha, nice thread and very true.
On a side note, I like how Loose Ends created "The Official 9/11 Thread" but then makes many (unofficial?)threads about 9/11 to clog the board.

Hot, hot, hot ...

UN Accused in Bhutto 'Cover-Up'
Haider Rizvi, OneWorld US
Mon Dec 31, 5:18 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS, Dec 31 (OneWorld) - Benazir Bhutto's supporters are wondering if the UN Security Council is helping cover up a conspiracy behind her killing.

The Pakistani opposition leader's supporters have asked Council members how they knew that she was killed by "terrorists," and not the government she opposed.

Last Thursday, after hours-long discussions behind closed doors, the Council released a presidential statement saying that Bhutto was killed as a result of a "terrorist" attack.

That is exactly what the Pakistani government was saying at the time, without holding any investigations into the crime. But the "official" version of how Bhutto was assassinated has changed since then.

CONT'D ...

Yes, it is. We have a conspiracy for each situation you could possibly want. And btw, you are automatically suspect as an agent of disinformation just for asking that question. You have been warned.

I checked under the bed--twice--behind the bookcases, de-bugged the lamps and took the phone off the hook before I typed that. Why would you say I'm defensive? I just take adequate defensive measures for my own protection.

Now you're simply being unnecessarily paranoid.

Who is paying you to spread disinformation? Regi? And who is paying him? And where do they get the money to pay either of you?

Actually, the thread author makes a good point...we're ALL paying too much attention to conspiracy theories, whether we think they're bunkum or not. Let's all get back to current events.
