Apologies if this has been posted before, since it's about a year old.

Uncomfortable Questions: Was the Death Star Attack an Inside Job?

Quote:
We�ve all heard the �official conspiracy theory� of the Death Star attack. We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And we�ve all seen the video over, and over, and over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.

Like many citizens of the Empire, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed. And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.

...

1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?

2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station�s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?

3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?

4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?


This is just an excerpt. Read the whole thing, it's hilarious.

If you assign a number value to each letter in the alphabet (a = 1; b = 2) and then plug in Death Star, you get 6. When you plug in World Trade Center you get 5, which is disappointing, but when you use September 11, you get 103, which adds up to 4, and when you add 11 to that, you get 15, which adds up to 6.

Eerie and highly highly significant. But there is more.

If you plug in President Bush, you also get 6.

If this doesn't prove it was an inside job, then I don't know what does.

I suppose this is to take the piss out of the conspiracy posters. The majority of Americans believe there was a conspiracy when it comes to the JFK assasination, but it doesn't mean they think it's a current event, they just feel there may be ties to either the mafia or some Leftists who didn't like Kennedy for his anti-Cuba, anti-Soviet stance had to be taken out and the crazy Oswald who attempted suicide and was a misfit in the navy carried out the killing. Supposedly, he abused his Russian wife. We can speculate until the cows some home about who done it about a past event or how Napoleon really died...

Of course this post was made to mock conspiracy posters. It is a disinformation technique used to discredit real theories.

Your beliefs in the Kennedy assassination are, unfortunately typical. The mafia did it, Oswald was a misfit-just what they want you to believe.

Lee Oswald was a low level intelligence operative; probably ONS , who was working in New Orleans the summer of the assassination and was "sheep dipped" to be the fall guy in upcoming November elections . (woops, assassination)

The backyard pictures are obviously fake and were used to frame the man.

Oswald tested negative on his paraffin test for firing a rifle and suspects are usually released after receiving such a result. What happened in his case? The police chief lied about the result saying �we think it will be favorable". The FBI later admitted it was negative.


Washington had already decided they had their man.

The subsequent cover-up as contained in the Warren Report was nothing but a lie and scientifically impossible

This post was a joke, and anyone who thinks it was an effort to shut anybody up or say anything at all about the godd*mn Kennedy assassination needs to take the stick out of their ass.

Are you saying that stillnotking has been duped? Since stillnotking is still not king, would that make him, perhaps, the Duke of Dupe?



Sorry stillnotking, I just couldn't resist.

I agree, it was a joke. Laughing A good one. Some people, however, seem to take it - and themselves - way too seriously.
