Conspiracy Never Dies (when it's fueled properly)



Another interesting link that some will regard as truth and others will regard as fiction.



Q. Was the destruction of the Twin Towers a "False Flag" operation by the government of the United States?
A. No Freaking Clue!

Q. Did the Israelis vacate the twin towers the weekend before 9/11/01?
A. No Earthly Idea!

Q. Did a secret "security sweep" of the Twin Towers on the weekend before 9/11/01 allow explosives and thermite to be installed in the Twin Towers?
A. No Way I Could Know That!

Q. Did building 7 fall live on the BBC news nearly 10 minuets AFTER they announced it had fallen even though there was no damage to that building?
A. Dunno, All I Saw Was The Footage On YouTube.

Q. Did Building 7 contain most of the SEC files related to Enron and also house a CIA operation that was entirely destroyed even though there was no damage to that building before it collapsed into the ground?
A. Sounds like a bad Hollywood script, but I still have no idea since I've never been to Building 7 or even seen it in person.

However, these theories seem to live on.  Are they true?  Are they propaganda?  Why do so many people assume that they are true?  Why do so many people assume that they are false?

Although I'm interested in the various theories, I wasn't there and cannot presume to know what did or didn't happen.  If I had a wish, it would be to know what actually happened instead of living with a mixture of wild conspiracy theory and government misinformation.

I understand that the government has to give us something other than the facts and the truth in order to protect national security and ensure as much public calm as possible.  However, the misinformation has created a breeding ground for conspiracy theory.

If a nuke device was set off under the Twin Towers, then the government would obviously not want anybody to know about that even if they didn't do it themselves.  Thermite, C4, and who knows what else (mini nuke is often cited for Twin Towers and Oklahoma City) come up in conversations about how these two steel buildings are the only ones in the history of modern engineering to collapse from fire damage.  This is particularly exciting to conspiary theorists as no building has ever collapsed from less than 20 hours of inferno and did not collapse entirely or make a straight fall to the ground.

Anyway, interesting to read, both sides are too far fetched to believe, and we'll not know the truth in our lifetimes.  But, at least we get to continue in the adventure of questioning what we're told and trying to find some reality in between the lines.

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
