Conspiracy theories

People who subscribe to this ought to get along fine with people who believe the earth is hollow and that we live on the inside.

I had a run in with one of those types of idiots they cannot be reasoned with, the moment I pointed out on his strawman statements and how trollish he sounded like let alone loony he resorted to feeble attempts at cyber bullying and trolling he made himself look like a fool before realizing it. Those kinds of people are usually dillusional short tempered and narrow minded. A prime example is the one I mentioned on general autism discussion. It was hilarious how ignorant the guy was sadly there many others like him out there.

What about the war in Afghanistan was a war over heroin and the last three UK governments have been involved in major heroin smuggling and the link to al qaeda was a smokescreen to distract the population to the real reason why the war was fought and that was to control the drugs supply. Anther is the austerity cuts that the latest government on those with low incomes is really a euphemism for a human cull part of Agenda 21. Alex Jones has done a programme on it and he also predicted it back in 2006. Whether they are believed or not is beside the point. I think that a lot of conspiracy theories are throught up by people who are either disempowered or disenfranchised. If you have a political system which does not reflect what policies you agree with or the party that you vote for in either a council or general election then that is disenfranchisement. The last time I voted I voted for the Libdems never again they went into a coalition with the conservatives under David Cameron. New Labour is just as bad and UKIP are just isolationists which is led by a former banker. If the prospective candidates on my ballot paper in this years general election are from these four parties then I in this case would be disenfranchised. In this case it would be easier to believe in some ludicrous theory and also advertising doesn't work on me.

The reason Kennedy politicians keep dying prematurely is because someone wants to prevent them from opening inquiries into JFK.

Interestingly, the only Kennedy with a long life and career had been little brother Teddy, who in fact publicly stated that he agreed with the Warren Commission's findings. Perhaps he knew how best to stay alive and in office.

New Coke was a conspiracy to promote Coke. It was never expected to take off.

One of the reasons the Cokacola brand is the powerhouse it is today is because they used to put cocaine in it.

Yes, but back when Coke had coke in it, it was being sold as a medicine.

That makes more sense.

Wonder if Pepto bismol aimed to go that route and just never got around to removing the stomach remedy. Tastes like candy.

Yeah, but it still actually works, without the addictive quality of old Coke.

There's an energy drink called NOS here in the states - I used to drink energy drinks like Redbull and Rockstar constantly but that stuff was just too much, it was almost as if the ingredients would have read corn syrup, carbonated water, bathtub crank, artificial flavoring. It was like orange crush with a crack rock in the bottom.

I've seen it around, but never have bought it.

Well the FBI refuse to release its files on the investigation to the public. I daresay that if it is the case that Lee Harvey Oswald was acting on behalf of someone or something besides himself, the most likely culprit is Fidel Castro who had PUH-LEN-TY or reasons to want Kennedy dead. That is, it was an act of retribution against Kennedy for orchestrating attempts on Castro's life as well as the attempt to overthrow Castro via the Bay of Pigs invasion. And we all know Castro is the kind of man who will never admit to it.

I am more inclined to look at the paramilitary Anti-Castro underground which Oswald had had a relationship with in New Orleans and Dallas. These were fanatical Cuban exiles and Americans who tended to be on the far right, many of whom had had close associations with both the CIA (as contract agents and contacts) and/or organized crime (better known as the CIA-Mafia plots). And they pretty much hated Kennedy about as much as they hated Castro for what they saw as his betrayal at the Bay of Pigs, and plans to cut their extreme types loose in favor of more moderate exile groups. In fact, the Warren Commission had investigated alleged connections between Oswald and Cuba, which proved to be false, but seemingly showed no interest in who had laid these false leads, or why. I think the whole point of the assassination had been to blame Castro in order to facilitate an American military invasion of Cuba.

Fidel has been asked that a few times. He denied it of course. Personally, I believe him. As he said, if his regime had done something like that it would have been the end of them. They had every reason to believe it would have nothing but negative outcomes for them for a variety of reasons.

I heard it might have been some mafia blowback from Joe's bootlegging days. This story makes me think of Jay Gatsby.

A couple of years ago someone claimed that one of Kennedy's security had tripped and accidentally shot him.

I concur about Castro. But I still think that had there been a conspiracy, it had most likely involved the right wing fanatics carrying out the CIA's and Mafia's dirty work on the ground level against communist Cuba. We even know some names of possible suspects: David Ferrie, Guy Bannister, Eladio Del Valle, Clay Bertrand (who may have been Clay Shaw), Angel and Leopoldo, among others.
