Conspiracy Theories
Attention is something I care very little of. Trying to make people open up there eyes to certain issues really going on I do care about though.

Oh, and for you to call me an idiot is hilarious. I'm not the one who inadvertently posted a YouTube video going against what I've been arguing this whole time, lol.
Yeah, stupid BBC ... posting a YouTube video about two policemen who admit that they both saw a plane hit the Pentagon.
Oh, wait. That was you who posted that, lol.
.
How thick are you?
The video of the policemen is to show that the official truth that you hold so dear, is a pack of lies, the official path the plane is said to have taken, was to the south side of the gas station, both Policemen witnessed seeing it at the north side of the gas station.
In one of your other childishly desperate posts you write? "Yeah, sure. Do you have a witness that saw a missile hit the Pentagon instead of a plane?
No?
I didn't think so. "
Well, you obviously havnt really studied this subject enough to comment on and be taken seriously, heres a Witness who saw what hit the Pentagon, hes a reporter as well, and you know anything they say is un-questionable yeah?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWj-dUOWNzI&feature=related[/youtube]
Thats one of many witnesses who actually saw what hit, and what the structural damage to 3 rings of the Pentagon would require.
If you can be bothered to research further, you will find witnesses who saw a large passenger plane, other winesses who saw what looked like a small plane or missile, others who report seeing both.
I can guess you will belive two of those groups are liers, because they contradict the lies you are telling yourself.
Anyone find it strange that the FBI confiscated most of the videos from around the pentagon as soon as they could?
This video shows what hit the pentagon. Sure was not a plane.

Asides being an easy form of entertainment I also think conspiracy theories are in a boom phase right now, like many odd ball beliefs in this time period- mostly because of the internet. Because of the internet disparate groups of people with radical beliefs can get together and build a sense of community and 'rightness' to their beliefs. This ranges from 2012 doomsday advocates (who are often the same people who advocated the 2003 arrival of Nibiru as the harbinger of our reptilian, gold stealing gods) to pedophiles to who knows what else. I'm sure that there are some conspiracy theories with some truth to them, others are just syllogisms or stabs in the dark or the ravings of uniformed people who watch way too many videos on youtube... Just for writing this I imagine many conspiracy advocates (I prefer the term advocate over theorist as I think of the term 'conspiracy theorist' as derogatory...) will identify me as 'part of the problem' but this is the "great" thing about conspiracies, as denial just perpetuates them... In any case everyone should keep an open mind, but with ones wits held intact and hopefully a well informed view of history and society in general
I can't help but be reminded by that line of civilians of fire drills at my school, where all the kids were sent to stand at a safe distance away from "the fire". Also, the big tent at the start? Have you ever seen a murder scene? They tend to cover those up from the nosy press as much as a matter of respect as anything else. The death of a planeload of civilians surely merits such respect?
I still haven't seen a SENSIBLE reason to blow a hole in your own military establishments, Hiding dodgy accounts is NOT a sensible reason. For that matter, I've never seen a sensible reason to attack your own trade centre. There is False Flag and there is f*****g Ridiculous overkill. America is so "safe" from foreign assault, and its voters so militant, that it would hardly take such a HUGE attack to convince them into an illegal war. Means, MOTIVE, opportunity.
And Nambo....there is plenty of knackered grass on that there lawn son. Besides, you don't have to HIT it to raise a dust cloud off it. Proximity will suffice. I shouldn't have to explain that phenomena to you, so I'm not going to.
I also see conflicting "rock/hard place" arguments. Pentagon windows are too tough for a speeding jetplane to break!. Planes fold up like paper when they hit super-hard skyscrapers and toughened glass windows! Is a little consistency so hard to ask for?

Even after days of having you embarrassed in this thread, you still continue to live in this fantasy world of yours where you're the hero of the planet and you're out there to make blind people see The Truth.
I'm thick enough to squash you.
You heard what that policeman near the end said. The only official story is the one ... (you fill in the gaps as I need to make sure you actually watched the video yourself).

LOL, you obviously didn't watch the video I posted in which the same guy clearly said that it was an airplane. That video above took what the guy said out of context.
So both him AND the policement agree it was a plane that hit the Pentagon.
You such a cute dummy!
I can guess you will belive two of those groups are liers, because they contradict the lies you are telling yourself.
Awww, for some reason, I'm starting to feel sorry for you. You obviously not a fan of honest research and critical thinking.

Biased interpretations are NOT evidence. Wake up, buddy!
Let's see what Wikipedia has to say on conspiracies :
A conspiracy is to be contrasted with a cabal. The two are similar but have quite different connotations; in contrast to a cabal, a conspiracy usually looks to overthrow a fixed power instead of usurping it from within.
Notable political conspiracies
* The Catiline conspiracies in the 1st century BC.
* A group of Roman senators, calling itself the Liberatores, hoped to restore the Roman Republic by killing Julius Caesar in 44 BC.
* The Pisonian conspiracy AD 65.
* The Pazzi conspiracy, which included the Pope, of the late 15th century.
* The Babington Plot, as the event which most directly led to the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. This was a second major plot against Elizabeth I of England after the Ridolfi plot. It was named after the chief conspirator Sir Anthony Babington (1561–1586), a young Catholic nobleman from Derbyshire.
* The Throckmorton Plot, was an attempt by English Roman Catholics in 1583 to murder Queen Elizabeth I of England and replace her with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots. The plot is named after the key conspirator, Sir Francis Throckmorton, a catholic nobleman, who confessed to the plot under torture.
* The Main Plot of 1603, was a conspiracy by English Catholics, allegedly led by catholic noblemen Henry Brooke, Lord Cobham, Sir George Brooke and Thomas Grey, 15th Baron Grey de Wilton, to remove King James I from the English throne, replacing him by aid of Spain with his cousin Arabella (or Arbella) Stuart.
* The Bye Plot of 1603, led to the execution of Sir George Brooke
* The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in earlier centuries often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholic Noblemen and Gentry led by Sir Robert Catesby. The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605, the prelude to a popular revolt in the Midlands during which James's nine-year-old daughter, Princess Elizabeth, was to be installed as the Catholic head of state. Catesby may have embarked on the scheme after hopes of securing greater religious tolerance under King James had faded, leaving many English Catholics disappointed. His fellow plotters included Thomas Wintour, Robert Wintour, John Wright, Christopher Wright, Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, John Grant, Lord of the Manor, Sir Thomas Percy, Sir Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby, Sir Francis Tresham and Thomas Bates
* The Anjala conspiracy of 1788
* The conspiracy of 1865 to assassinate U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and members of his cabinet
* The French government's attempted cover-up following Émile Zola's accusations in the Dreyfus Affair, starting in 1894.
* The 1903 efforts by the Tsar's secret police to foment anti-Semitism by presenting The Protocols of the Elders of Zion as an authentic text.[1]
* The 1933 Business Plot - Fascists Coup d'état attempt in USA
* The 1939 Operation Himmler and its Gleiwitz incident - False Flag Terrorism by Nazi Germany in order to get a pretext for Invasion of Poland
* The 1939 Shelling of Mainila, False Flag Terrorism by USSR in order to get a pretext for Winter War
* CIA Operation Mockingbird, from 1948. In 1976, then CIA director George H. W. Bush ordered that paid media recruiting would be prohibited.
* The 1942 Wannsee Conference, 3rd Reich Nazis related to Final Solution.
* The 1945 OSS Operation Paperclip, the extraction of top Nazi scientists (incl. SS nazi Party members).
* CIA MKULTRA mind control program, from 1953 and continuing.
* The 1954 'Lavon affair'- Operation Susannah; False Flag Terrorism by Mossad
* The 1962 CIA Operation Northwoods
* CIA Project Cherry, United States non-stop attempt to assassinate Norodom Sihanouk
* The 1969 Manson Family murders
* The 1972 Watergate burglary and cover-up scandals
* The 1980 October surprise
* The 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack
* The 1987 Iran-Contra Affair
* The supposed plot of Caucasians to regain control of and take over Washington, D.C.
* Breakup of Yugoslavia - To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia, Verso, 2000, ISBN 1859847765
* The Enron manipulation of the California Electricity Market during the California electricity crisis
* The Mafia
* Various CIA involvements in overseas coups d'état
* The 1991 Testimony of Nayirah before the U.S. Congress to rally the support of the U.S. public to launch the Gulf War
* The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male[2]
* The General Motors streetcar conspiracy[3]
* The plot by some gaullists of the French Secret Service to destabilise future president Georges Pompidou, known as the Markovic affair
* The series of incidents in Italy connected to the so called "strategy of tension"
* CIA Operation Gladio, a NATO 'stay-behind' Operation
* The 2000 CIA Operation Merlin
* 9/11 in 2001
* The 2002 Downing Street Memo
* The 2002 September Dossier UK and USA Governments Lies and Forgeries to Justify invasion of Iraq
* The 2002 Yellowcake forgery
* The 2003 Iraq and weapons of mass destruction reports in order to get a United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 pretext to Iraq War
Those mentioned above are just a handful of commonly accepted conspiracies. It does not include eg. the murder on Caesar or revolutions (eg. the French revolution, American revolution, Russian revolution, ...) and many other events that were the consequence of a conspiracy.
So the questions I ask are these....... if conspiracies are common throughout history, how to distinguish a "conspiracy theory" from an actual conspiracy? Is it because the media and self-proclaimed experts reject a theory that it much generally be rejected as nonsense? How do we know we can trust these people? During the '30s, the people in Germany were told the Jews wanted to take over the world and many volumes were written on the topic in an attempt to prove it. This was the mainstream belief. Does that make it an actual conspiracy or is this just a "conspiracy theory"? If the people couldn't trust the Hitler regime, why can we trust our own leaders? Are we sure they aren't lying to us?
It really amazes me that people don't question the claim that the Nazis conspired to kill 6 million people using gas chambers among other means or that a bunch of Muslem fundamentalists conspired to demolish the WTC towers using airplanes alone just because it's told by the media and the mainstream history books, whereas they just as easily dismiss any claim that is less fantastic and actually easier to prove just because the history books and mainstream media don't mention it.
I encourage everyone to watch ALL of the folowing videos in the order I post them, read my questions again and think about them for a while. That's all I have to say for now....

Now, the shrunken heads thing at Nurenberg were obviously erroneously attributed to the Nazis (I suspect the Indian shrunken heads had been grabbed from a German museum after the war by Allied troops thinking they were Holocaust victims). But much of the videos presented were the product of loony Anti-Semites and racists. Since when is tolerance an anti-western sentiment? And since when are all Jews - ALL JEWS - going to have a single agenda and conspire against the rest of us? That's just rightwing propaganda, like homosexuals having one collectivist goal, such as in the Gay agenda thing.
I'm sorry, but I just think it's just too unbelievable.
And by the way, if you're wondering, I'm not Jewish, I'm a German Lutheran.

Tolerance is a great thing, but when it means they you should tolerate only certain opinions and censor others then it's no longer tolerance but really intollerance. Often, tolerance is confused with such intollerance.
Having said that, I don't see how ANY of the videos imply that all Jews have a single agenda and conspire against the rest of us. If that's what you learned from them, either you didn't watch them or you didn't pay any attention to them

Generally people on the right believe that holocaust deniers are out of their minds. I find it rather insulting that you're claiming Conservatives anti-semites. The sad thing is I'm also not particularly surprised by you doing it either.
I am not saying all conservatives are Anti-Semites; in fact, most American conservatives are not. I commented about the loony right. I like to think there is a difference between you and them.

Generally, European consevatives believe that American neocons are out of their minds. I find it rather insulting that you're equaling conservatism with American neoconservatism. The sad thing is I'm also not particularly surprised by you doing it either.

Read my last post to Inyasha concerning how not all conservatives are bigots.
Am I to understand you take me for European? I'm actually American, thank you very much. I'm a German Lutheran in the same sense that some Americans are Irish Catholics, or Russian Orthodox.
