Upon reading it, I thought that this was essentially one of those "letters" that was composed by a staff member. Very stereotypical description, young male, obsessive about the truth.... etc. "Writing on the walls...Jehovah.." The only thing they left out was "...and he sleeps with his head wrapped in tinfoil..." Regardless of the legitimacy of the writer or advice columnist, the message was sent loud and clear;

"Conspiracy theorists are lunatics, potentailly dangerous, and need psychological help* (*special medicine)."

They've been saying this for years now through differernt mediums not to mention ratifying Mental Health acts in certain countries to accomodate these new guidelines for judging sanity. NEVER mention conspiracy to a doctor.

I just left a comment on that site.

Its 'awaiting moderation approval' or something...so I doubt it'll ever be up there

*edit* Its there, right at the bottom of the page

What a bunch of good little consumers you are. You’re so adorable going through life with blinders on, not questing authority. Surely it’s that nasty economy devil that’s at the root of losing your jobs, homes, and nation locked in an endless cycle of wars. It couldn’t be corporate globalists and politicians on their payroll, that’s just crazy talk.

Surly those people protesting all over the world are doing it for absolutely nothing, right? After all, they should be paying attention to the important things in life like entertainment, sex, and money. That’s what normal people do after all. That’s why we’re here, alive and breathing, as conscious beings; To buy things, have others think for us, and not care about events that don’t seemingly effect us on a personal level. Apathy and narcissism is normal, and the right way.

While we’re at it, lets burn all the books of the world, as they clearly have some radical things in them that… *gasp*… make people think for themselves. Clearly anyone who does has mental health problems, and should be silenced immediately, as not to poison the rest of us with thought.

Mrindigo wrote: This is one of the things I find hardest to understand. Throughout my entire life, the TV news has been non-stop war, famine, misery and suffering. The United States mainland has only been attacked once, on 9/11 (although it came awfully close during the Cuban Missile Crisis, but this was kept quiet as it didn't suit the propaganda purposes at the time), yet since the Second World War their military has managed to engage in this:

academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/interventions.html

And this doesn't even include all of the rogue regimes they've sponsored, all the governments they've overthrown, all the CIA activity within foreign countries, the elections they've illegally bought abroad, the propaganda campaigns they've run abroad, the political leaders they've assassinated, the trillions of dollars of weapons they've sold (often to countries that they've later invaded), the promotion and funding of drug production and drug running and importation to the States, and so on.

And yet people still think they're living in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and that America stands for peace! Bush actually said this shortly after 9/11: "we're a peaceful nation". And people believe it! The biggest conspiracy for me isn't 9/11, it's that the Anglo-American establishment have murdered people all over the world for decades, engaged in absolutely no end of utterly despicable conduct, yet somehow people are still convinced that we're the good guys. That takes some good PR.

Because ignorance is strength!!

LMFAO, nice one

And deleting comments that aren't 'on message' surely makes the Dear Wendy team part of a conspiracy.

Fools.

It's maddening, especially for those of us who can see it. I agree with you completely, WUB. 9/11 really just made their intentions and goals a little clearer. It brought their tactics right to the doorstep of a culture who was mostly oblivious to the actions their government has allowed, supported, and taken part in. It was audacious and bold, and a clear sign that the power had gone to their head; They got sloppy. It's evident by Bush's statement about peace, and urging people to discount any notions of a conspiracy. Peace, true peace, shall never be obtained through violence, subjugation, and subversion.

I have to hear people spouting the patriotic line about freedoms being protected all the time. Most of them say it because they think it's socially acceptable, but don't really believe it completely. What freedoms are being protected exactly? Those 'freedoms' are attacked frequently on home soil by those claiming to protect it, and with corporately motivated bills and legislature; It's not some guy in a turban in distant lands that most people in the west can barely pronounce, let alone point out on a map. We have 'free speech zones' now for example.

You're right, the murdering and genocide has been going on for a long time. What really angers me is when I hear people claim that the anger is due to this nation's power and freedom. Right... it has nothing to do with financially and culturally destabilizing their home for corporate takeover, the collection of ancient knowledge, and the subsequent public destruction of that knowledge. Naturally they keep copies/artifacts for their own records. That ancient knowledge gives empowerment and independence from the anglo-system on several levels, and they can't have that. They need people to be completely dependent on them, which is why they target areas and peoples with ancient history. Case in point, the middle east.

I feel like all the establishment has to do is roll the Queen out every so often, or run a flag up a pole before a baseball game, and everyone's back on side. Can we have the wool pulled over our eyes that easily?

Expenses scandal came and went and it turns out certain people (Baroness Warsi but I bet there are others) are still being dishonest when it comes to money and what they claim because nothing very bad happened to anyone the first time it all came out. A4E and ATOS are supposed to be sorting out benefit 'cheats' (AKA the disabled and sick people on ESA), one is up to its neck in fraud and the other is paid millions to deliver an incompetent service that wastes more money in appeals than it saves in weeding out genuine cheats. And noone except those immediately affected by it bats an eyelash.
