I believe in a conspiracy to establish a New World Order - Am I Nuts?

[Norman Potting]

Something I find really spooky is that all the Albion goals today were scored at times ending in a "3".

Try reading "Voodoo Histories" by David Aaronvitch, a good if somewhat weighty book debunking various conspiracy theories from well known events like 9/11 to some rather obscure (to me in any case) historical ones. The problem I have with most of these theories is that they seem to assume that, if they can find the slightest inconsistency in what is accepted as fact this seems to justify their alternative, however strange that may seem.

As the book points out the most powerful man of the most powerful nation on earth couldn't even arrange for something as simple as arranging for some audio tapes to be destroyed (Nixon, Watergate) so to attempt a multiple delusion such as 9/11 would take some doing!

Have a look at this.

For a World order to succeed it would need to be headed by a benevolent dictator.

Are we talking about faux glam rock band The Darkness again here clif? A band who's hope's of prolonged stardom were crashed on the rocks formed by the ego of their benevolent dictator of a lead singer, his aforementioned ego bringing the bands future crashing down spectacularly around their own ears?

Seen all the videos on that, very interesting.

Check out the Denver airport videos as well.

No one's that competent. And taken as a group, they're less competent.

One of the few good things about the draft/National Service was that a whole lot more people got to see the inherent incompetence of outwardly respectable and well-run large organizations.

Ignorant, gullible, in need of a life? Absolutely.

Ah this takes me back. I remember back in the 1970s the world was ruled by the Marxist/Zionist conspiracy. And they DID actually rule the world, none of this 'trying to establish a new world order'. The myth of the Cold War was kept alive so that the people in the East and West would see each other as 'the enemy' whereas the real power was held by the owners of the military-industrial complexes of the USA and the Soviet Union who maintained a mutually-supportive cartel.

I thought everybody knew that. Nice to see there are some new people trying to follow in their footsteps.

Now I know how the term "Kangaroo Court" came about.

That Denver conspiracy is a classic case. If you watch that video there are some obvious holes in the theory, but investigate further and you discover that a lot of the "facts" presented are half truths, misinterpretations and even just made-up.

For me the interesting thing is not the conspiracy itself, but the need for some people to believe in these far-fetched constructs.

These people have always existed though. Five hundred years ago they would have been burning women at the stake for being in league with the devil (why DID my crops fail eh?), now they post on the internet. Progress of a sort I suppose.

Au contraire. Quite the opposite. 500 years ago Witchcraft was considered mainstream enough that there was a specific act of Parliament in England, The Witchcraft Act of 1542, with similar laws enacted throughout Europe. This was overt State acknowledgement of the existence of devil worship. The contemporaries regarded as nutters would have been the likes of the Hussites and Cathars who preached against a corrupt state religion in favour of a personal God.

Bad analogy, Brovion.

Thats a bit over the top innit. Blaming the likes of me, dingodan et al for barbecueing Joan of Arc.

Have camped at Ayres Rock before back in the day.

The Dingoes are quite timid, very easy to scare them off.

One got into a bin that had some scraps in it and was making a mess, had an old chicken carcass in it's mouth and when one of the campers approached it, it dropped the carcass and hit the bolt.

The dingoes plead innocent your honour.
