"9/11 : A Geo-Political Monster" - a 'cris de coeur'.

by Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey.

September 11, 2012, "Information Clearing House" ( http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ )

The victims of 9/11 are not only encountered in New York. The victims of 9/11 lived in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Libya and today, in Syria, campaigns created and wars waged on the back of the most shocking example of the manipulation of fear in the history of humankind. 9/11 was an insult to the memories of the deceased, an insult to their families.

The anomalies of the 9/11 attacks have been ably exposed by researchers over the last eleven years, since two aircraft slammed into the Twin Towers just before they appeared to be demolished in a classic implosion operation, since an "aircraft" turned the Pentagon into the Quadragon, yet leaving the lampposts through which it had to pass standing, and before another aircraft allegedly vanished...all 200 tonnes of it, including engines.

If wreckage of the Air France 447 was found at sea, then it is totally impossible that an aircraft of similar size hitting terrain would simply vaporise. That two plus two do not add up to four in the 9/11 attacks does not attenuate the suffering of those who lost husbands, wives, children, family, loved ones and friends, taken away in a snap, making their loss that much more shocking and difficult to deal with.

This is where our thoughts should be this day, eleven years after the United States of America and its allies were given a carte blanche to go globe-trotting on the back of a massive public opinion coup, justifying invasions, justifying massacres, justifying the most blatant outrages against human rights and international law. This is unfortunately the legacy of 9/11.

The legacy of 9/11 is the creation of a geo-political monster, as the FUKUS Axis (France, the UK and US) cynically took advantage of this stunt to justify their wars pandering to the whims of the lobbies which close ranks around each and every US President, eliminating those few who do not play ball.

On the back of 9/11 came Afghanistan, a hopeless waste of time and money and more importantly, human lives, a process which is on-going today, a process which has continued the destabilisation of a once-stable and socially progressive country by the Mujaheddin, unleashed by the CIA and the Pakistani Madrassah against the legitimate Government. The Taleban are a CIA experiment gone wrong. 9/11 was the ensuing thank-you note.

On the back on 9/11 came Iraq, an illegal invasion against a sovereign nation outside the auspices of the UNSC, rendering Bush and Blair liable for war crimes trials, a process which is already under way and which will hopefully see both of them spend a substantial period of time behind bars, yet not facing the sort of treatment their forces meted out to prisoners in concentration camps and detention centres, however much pleasure it would give one to water-board both of them.

On the back of 9/11 came Syria, a country invaded by terrorists, a country whose latent ethnic and religious differences were whipped up by outsiders, where groups of terrorists were armed and unleashed against the Government. The process started before Libya, it continues to this day, the FUKUS Axis yet again spreading misery and terror in their quest to place their minions in power to further their demonic plans for geo-political hegemony.

On the back of 9/11 came Libya, a country whose western and eastern borders were successfully secured through revolutions, a country whose eastern region had already been secured months in advance, a country invaded illegally by FUKUS Axis special forces, in which the FUKUS Axis illegally aided a group in an internal conflict, in which war crimes were committed, in which military hardware was deployed against civilian structures, in which the Gaddafi grandchildren were murdered in their home.

Why? Because Muammar al-Qathafi's plans for Africa were threatening the lobbies which control the FUKUS Axis. It was not for no reason that the Libyan leader was to receive a UN Humanitarian Prize in 2011.

The legacy of 9/11 is therefore its consequences: torture, rape, murder, illegal detention, war crimes, atrocities, sodomy, urination in food, sleep deprival, setting dogs on detainees, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, racism...the list goes on and on and on and reads like a shopping list for Satan.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is an insult to the victims of 9/11 and their families.

I love Eva Cassidy. The record companies did not want to sign her because she refused to be pigeon-holed into singing one type of music. She only achieved international fame after her death. Here on this link, knowing that she is dying of cancer, she summons up all of her energy, and sings What A Wonderful World.

I have Eva's final/good-bye concert on cd. Its hauntingly beautiful. I rarely get through it without shedding tears.

Every time I think I've heard everything by Eva...I end up finding another song. I found this one called "Wayfaring Stranger" last night....followed by Emmylou's version of it. They're different...yet equally beautiful.

Thanks. Eva Cassidy not only had a "hauntingly beautiful" voice, but she was also a person of tremendous courage, and principle. Very early this morning I lit a candle and listened to her sing What A Wonderful World. It would have been my Dad's 100th birthday. He too was an extraordinary person.

That was very special. Thanks...and well worth my second viewing of it ^.~

During family gatherings...one of my favourite things to do is sit and listen (sometimes for hours) to the older members tell the stories of their youth. Our experiences seem to pale (maybe not for long) compared to theirs.

Your father clearly enriched your life....I just know I would have liked him.

The whole world needs to heal and unite...and music is "instrumental" in that...

Did JCS Chief Dempsey Just End the War on Islam?

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/05/10/did-jcs-chief-dempsey-just-end-the-war-on-islam/

But now, a cornerstone of the war on Islam – the brainwashing of US military personnel to hate, fear, and mass-murder people because they happen to be Muslim – has been removed by none other than General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Mikey Weinstein of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation reports:

On Tuesday, April 24th, 2012, the nation’s top soldier, Chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) General Martin Dempsey, initiated a truly seminal message. He finally generated the long-overdue, mandatory edict that all training and educational materials throughout the U.S. military must be immediately reviewed within one month’s time to ensure that no anti-Muslim or anti-Islam references or content remain. Henceforth, officers and enlisted members will no longer be taught and institutionally indoctrinated that “the United States is at war with Islam and we ought to just recognize that.”

In the elective class “Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism,” officers from all four branches of the military were indoctrinated with vile Islamophobic programs masquerading as “anti-terrorist” education. What JCS Chairman Gen. Dempsey seeks to investigate is a heinous curriculum of systemic, anti-Muslim hatred that has warped the cultural competence of United States service members, leading to grim results in combat theaters within which the U.S. has been engaged since 9/11. In 2012 alone there have been reports of bodies being urinated on by U.S. Marines, the proud and brazen display of the Nazi Waffen-SS banner by U.S. Marines, soldiers posing with corpses, and most insultingly, the burning of copies of the Qur’an at Bagram Air Field.

The long-overdue review of the appalling Islamophobic materials used to train our servicemen and servicewomen is a classic case of the proverbial closing of the barn door long after the farm animals have left. President Obama’s surprise visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 starkly illustrated this fact. The ink had barely dried on the Strategic Partnership Agreement signed by himself and Afghan President Hamid Karzai before car bombs and gunfire rattled Kabul in a daring Taliban attack centered on the high-security Green Village compound.

In hindsight, the Department of Defense-sanctioned anti-Muslim training programs have proven to be a quintessentially formidable propaganda asset in the Taliban fight against the “Crusading” NATO forces. Indeed, they provide grist for the mill of regional resentment and strain alliances to a breaking point.

This article is a very diplomatic way to broach a very sensitive subject. Good call!

Whether you believe it was intentional or not (I do believe), there is the disturbing matter of the war indoctrination of our children that the exploitation of 9/11 is being used for, to usher in continual war .

Yesterday (Sept 11th), while I was driving my 9 year old daughter home from school, she told me that in her (grade 5) class, as a commemoration of 9/11, they were made to watch a youtube video of the horrific images, I'm sure we all can remember, of the towers burning and people jumping while flailing to their death. I remember seeing those images ONCE, then when they came on again and again, I had to turn my head.

I was so furious, I didn't know who's neck I was going to wring first. I vowed to call the board of education.

HOW, is that a commemoration? Why not images of flowers being laid at ground zero? I mean...despite the obvious hypocrisy...at least kids wouldn't get traumatized. When I was in school, a commemoration was images of poppies.

My daughter told me that as soon as she saw the person falling, she slightly turned her head and saw that the other kids were transfixed...eyes wide and shocked. How is this necessary?!

It is traumatic indoctrination via shock to justify to, and condition our young, further years of war and terror. This was called for by the board of ed. The teacher understood enough to run to the media player, while yelling "no, no, no."...but too late. Those images are seared on the psyches of our kids. Its a travesty of damage upon damage.

The war mongering must cease...NOW!!

Please talk to your kids. Its the perfect time for a discussion when things like this happen. I asked my daughter if the teacher played a video that showed the collapse of building 7? She said "What building 7"? as she jolted up in wonder.

She has now seen footage of the collapse (sans flailing bodies) of building 7.

She was very intrigued.

when you say truth do you mean only truth you agree with? after 9/11 war was sadly the only option, just like dec. 7 1941.

When I say truth...I mean organic truth. The kind you imagine when the clouds open up and you can see clear across the universe, with all the wisdoms it may behold.

What you describe here has unfortunately been the truth up until now. Its been the same M.O. for thousands of years.... oligarchal staged wars propped up by religious and racial division that have nothing to do with the real reasons for the violence and genocides the ruling elite perpetrate on its people.

By your standards...and apparent acceptance that this is the way it has to be because it has always been, we are doomed to perpetual war and utter failure as humans. At what point do we recognize, as the universe's children, that we can rise above this blood-soaked insanity, to get to a higher level of consciousness to what is a more humane way of living....for everyone?

NATO sometimes fills in for UN, primarily in the periphery of Europe (as it's fitting for NATO's charter).

NATO may not be invoking its Article 5 when intervening in certain countries although it may appear so. It's because member countries of NATO can act independently on their own or in concert with each other to intervene.

NATO member countries such as France and Germany behaved in 2014 like the other Global South countries now do disregarding Russia's annexation of Crimea: peace and stability in their time. What has happened to more parts of Ukraine recently ?

Prigozhin's Wagner Group was on the same trajectory of growth as ISIS via hogging and controlling the resources of weaker countries to finance. Both the Russian Federation and the USA played the same game of using mercenaries and got burnt.

It takes a while for the Global South to grasp that in an overly globalized world, a marauding Russia can directly and indirectly maul them, too. Russia's Pootin funded the Wagner Group to ruin Syria and Donbas, to use poor Russians' lives to enrich the oligarchs. Why are the non-oligarchic Russians so poor ? Frankly, I think that the non-oligarchic Indians (who are globally well-known to be poor) in still-caste-system-bound India make more money than their counterpart in Russia.

Both India and the Russian Federation are highly income-unequal countries. The wealthiest people in the world 🌍 have many Russian oligarchs amongst them. London is a prime financial center for the Indian and Russian oligarchs. These countries aren't great countries to be a serf or an untouchable because their development capital has been siphoned off to London. Of course, Hong Kong also did its siphoning of Americans' retirement savings via the MSCI apportioning Red China's puffer-fish economy as its largest component and the Wall Street megaliths diworsify into the Chinese hotair balloon. That's the magical power of made-up economic numbers. When one couldn't even complete the login: lo [& behold the failed gin being sent without the tonic of N.C.A.R. ! https://youtu.be/mEhE0ql-7WI]

According to many people, both Afghanistan and Yemen won. The U. S. A., having been defeated, had to leave them alone so they have probably improved their people's lives quite a bit already because the U. S. A. cannot exploit their vast resources anymore.

"The first days after 9/11 foreshadowed what was to come. Media outlets kept amplifying rationales for an aggressive military response, while the traumatic events of September 11th were assumed to be just cause. When the voices of shock and anguish from those who had lost loved ones endorsed going to war, the message could be moving and motivating.

"Meanwhile, Pres George W.Bush, with only a single congressional negative vote - fervently drove that war train, using religious symbolism to grease its wheels. On September 14th, declaring that “we come before God to pray for the missing and the dead and for those who love them”Bush delivered a speech at the Washington National Cathedral claiming - “our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks & rid the world of evil. War has been waged against us, by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful but fierce when stirred to anger.This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing.” - FROM:

The U.S. government knew something like the 9/11 attacks might happen but didn't have actionable intelligence in the hands of the FBI in time to thwart the 9/11 attacks. The NSA definitely knew earlier than the FBI which was in charge of the domestic anti-terrorism defense. Keeping track of the threats coming from overseas was in NSA's charter.

Whether there was a racket initiated or kept going after the 9/11 attacks is very much beside the point that the Islamo-fascists attacked the U.S. economic and political centers. People looking out for money turn most happenings into racketeering opportunities. That has been going on for ages.

U.S. airlines had been warned of the possibility of a terrorist attack several months before 9/11/2001 because the attackers of the WTC in early 1993 were being put on trial and simultaneous overseas airplane attacks in East and South East Asia had been thwarted ( by no less than "spies" -- I frankly prefer that we've got some watching the U.S. closely so that they could've thwarted the 9/11 attacks ).

ABC Nightline featured Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda declaring their intention to murder Americans, military or civilian. In October 2000, U.S.S. Cole was bombed near Aden. Days before the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. overseas bases were put on high alert corroborating that the NSA had probably warned them.

As for how 19 Arabs with boxcutters could have obviated NORAD, it's because they attacked where NORAD wasn't defending enough. I count our Baby Boomer generation extremely lucky that we hadn't blown up the world with nuclear weapons since their advent in 1944. We were just seconds away from starting the massive nuclear war. The USSR's failure to field safe nuclear propulsion systems in their submarines leading to disasters allowed deeply painful memories to be etched into Soviet military people so that nuclear war was averted. In my case, it wasn't the mosquitoes that launched us away from poverty but my Mom's citygirl's reactions due to her abhorrence of them.

Things can have great consequences through a cascading chain of events. 19th century Russian inequality between the aristocrats and the serfs caused the Russian Revolution the effects of which still reveberate in our everyday lives. Pootin spent billions to support dictators but treats Russia's own people with arbitrary justice, has embezzled and is still embezzling astronomical amount of money from the Russian state, some of which funded Donald Trump's Taj amid his repeated business failures ( including the biggest one of all, the U.S. under his charge, experiencing the January 6th, 2021 domestic terrorist attack upon our Capitol -- what the 9/11/2001 flight our heroic patriots'd downed in Pennsylvania didn't attain, our domestic [largely White] terrorists "accomplished," probably via White privilege. Absolutely Disgusting ! )

Bushit could see the "soul" in Pootin's beady eyes, hahaha ! Mission Accomplished ( U.S. citizens were being evacuated months ago before the chaos at Kabul International Airport set in.) Oh, say, can't you see? "Goodbye, Kabul," they were seeing.

WTC Building 7 was my own 'Red Pill' moment .. up to a couple of years after the events of 9/11 ... until when I too just simply accepted The US/UK MSM and Establishment narratives .. that NEVER question the US/UK Military Industrial Complex until at best - it's all a bit too late to do so.

So, re. 'Conspiracy Theories', do please consider the following :

a) When two or more people plan to commit a crime, there exists by definition - a 'conspiracy' and

b) Therefore any theory about who did it, or how it was done, is by definition - a 'conspiracy theory', so

c) The question is then not whether you are a conspiracy theorist - but for which conspiracy theory you find the evidence most compelling. Ergo :

Chomsky is quite right in attacking lame conspiracy theories. They are an utter waste of time because they have no evidence to back them up. They are just mountains of assumptions used to accuse people without evidence. They are the biggest danger in America today.

The US government does so many things that are wrong and that we know about, it's ridiculous to remain focused on conspiracy theories we have no evidence for. Take the Snowden case. We should be all over this. Instead, people will continue to talk about 911 Truth. It's ridiculous. A complete distraction from the real problems.

Chomsky is quite right when he says 911 Truth is a waste of time. Like he says - "Who cares?". So what if the government planned it. What would that change. We already know many many things the government does wrong, things we have evidence for. We should concentrate on those instead of wasting time with paranoid delusions.

e tenebris ...

[-] -1 points by DodiKolifarThe3rd (-1) 10 years ago

"conspiracy theory" is an English expression. Like the expression "hot dog" it can't be understood by simply juxtaposing the definition of both words.

A conspiracy theory is a specific way at looking at an event. A black and white way. It starts by painting the government or some other form of power as 100% evil, and the populace as 100% good. This is the framework from which it operates. Then, it assumes an answer to why the event was cause, and works backwards to find evidence for that answer. It's the opposite of good journalism and scientific work. Other trademarks are the use of logical fallacies, like quote mining. Examples of conspiracy theories are 9/11 Truth, big foot, reptilian overlords, hollow earth, Diana's murder, etc...

Conspiracy theories are dangerous because they blur the line between reality and fiction. Also, they promote the idea of accusing people before we have evidence of their guilt. This is extremely dangerous.

We should promote proper forms of journalism which rests upon finding evidence before making claims. A proper journalist does not publish his material if he only has vague assumptions based on logical fallacies. He works very hard to find evidence before accusing others of wrong. This is how we should investigate.

Scholars contrast conspiracy theories with proper forms of research known has historical analysis or investigative journalism.

[-] -1 points by shadz66 (19985) 10 years ago

Are you happy with the 'Official Conspiracy Theory' re. 9/!! ?

ad iudicium ...

[-] 1 points by DodiKolifarThe3rd (-1) 10 years ago

First, the official report is not a conspiracy theory. It works in a very different way. Conspiracy theories go against official reports, that is, they don't build a case based on evidence, but instead try to find holes in the main explanation. Without having an official report first, they could not work.

World events are extremely complicated. You'll never know exactly what happened. The official report is the best explanation we have. It covers many bases, although it doesn't cover all of them. The fact that the terrorists responsible for these actions also admitted guilt and caused many other acts of terrorism is telling.

That being said, whether one finds the original report satisfying or not doesn't mean anything. The 911 conspiracy theories don't suddenly become more true if you don't believe in the original explanation. They do to conspiracy theorists, because, like I said, they build their case on the holes they find in the original theory. So, if they think there are many holes, they think this makes their theories more true. It doesn't. A theory should be based on evidence, and, so far, conspiracy theorists have none of that.

In the end, after 12 years of "research", 911 conspiracy theories have been beheaded and debunked time and time again. What they are is simply bad research. And, very boring. They are needless distractions. We should put them aside because they lead to nowhere.

If someone wants to research this event some more, that's fine by me. However, that someone should only publish his or her findings when they have strong evidence that would hold in court. Publishing every little idea concerning 911 is an utter waste of time, and it's boring.

What we should do is concentrate on the many wrongs we know the government did. Just lately, the Snowden case revealed a lot. Unfortunately, Americans don't like truth and reality. They like paranoid fantasies. So, even though Snowden uncovered a real problem we should talk about, most Americans will still prefer to come up with more and more wild fantasies to "explain" 911. Very sad indeed.

If I were you, I would stay away from conspiracy theory websites and turn off the Alex Jones radio show. You would be better off listening to and reading proper scholars who actually do proper investigative work.


As a side note, I find it extremely funny how 911 Truthers give some much power to Mr. Bush. To think that he and his cabinet could have orchestrated such a conspiracy, and have kept the mouths of the thousands of people involved shut is just plain ridiculous. Mr. Bush really isn't that smart or powerful. He's basically a redneck.


Unfortunately, Americans are quite dumb, do conspiracy theories are here to stay. They have become a multi-million dollar industry. Shows from Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura have taken over the nation. Americans like to be entertained! They like to hear fantastic stories, not true ones.

i have a question for you though. i agree that the 9/11 official story makes no sense - i thought it when i saw the buildings come down. they could not fall that way both of them from an airplane strike.

having said that i agree with chomsky that diving into the conspiracy deep end is not the way to go. you may find the truth, like in the jfk killing but so what? he believes we should focus our energy on the masses of people who would vote with us on issues that matter. the 70% or more of the population that is pushed down and disaffected by the system and can force real change.

what are your thoughts here? i read too many books about jfk and believe that dulles was the mastermind behind his killing. i actually like to read that stuff and want to more know more about the facts around 9/11. at the same time it can become a sinkhole or energy for some really smart people. people who could be doing more productive work. again i think the jfk thing is a prefect example. ok you get my point.

[-] 1 points by ImNotMe (1488) 6 years ago

Your ''sinkhole (of) energy'' point has real value and it seems that Noam Chomsky, you and I, are in a kind of agreement BUT .. Truth Matters and it can be Revolutionary! Americans are so Mind Managed by Corporate MSM, that they'll vote against their own long term best interests like Turkeys Voting For Thanksgiving; so that Stockholm Syndrome, is now the norm!! The Truth re. 9/11 could be the thing to shatter that sad, supine, self-defeating complacency!!! The JFK reality .. in that it was NOT a lone nut assassination and the Warren Commission Cover Up - has taught Americans a few things and indeed ''Conspiracy Theory'' was a CIA Psy-Ops term, that originated in the attempt to counter the ideas that were arising after JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X assassinations.The change that needs to happen in USA, will arise thru various means. 9/11 Truth is part of that. I will end by recommending the following:

fiat lux et fiat justitia ruat caelum ...

[-] 1 points by flip (7101) 6 years ago

you are correct on all counts. you are also not obsessed with 9/11 and work many angles to help create real change. also who knows what will trigger a change in consciousness. chomsky himself will admit that he told students in the early 60's that he didn't think protests were the right way to go so who knows the future.

also fyi this is one of the few things where i disagree with noam - i agree with you and not noam - will lightening strike me??

9/11 has turned into a giant commercial day for the military and government profiteers. Today they are out in forces making rounds from talk show to talk show to "news stations" (should properly be called advertising outlets) invading our living rooms and cars with their propaganda of fear, safety, and justification. This is about profit...this is about the richest people in society profiting in the most sickening way possible...putting their luxury driven lifestyles above human life. This is about a president elected on the hopes of the people that he would not sell out to the souless monsters and sociopaths, bullies, and their toady lap dogs among us.... scarcely using his platform but to speak out on behalf of psycopaths driven to bully those with moral compasses into submission, compliance, and manufactured consent. 9/11 make no mistake is a business my friends; The business of control, profits, and the outright take- over of our democracy. The deaths of our fellow civilians became a corporate wet dream. And when we see this behavior and fail to write about it, call them on their bullshit and phony despair, and abuse of our soldiers and the colonization and takeover of not only of individual privacy but of foreign lands to be exploited by private enterprise...we have failed our fellow citizens and we have failed at being free.

Many US and coalition troops paid with their lives for every one al-Qaeda member killed. On no basis has the war ever made sense.

I suspected it was a terrorist attack, and I knew that the world as we know it would be changing dramatically, but i never could have guessed to the enormous extent that it has.

I taped a lot of the coverage of the news that day, but in all the years that have passed, I have never had the urge to view it again.

Friend - I'm sorry to say that 'The Definitive CONspiracy Theory' is 'The Official Version', in my opinion !! The phrase 'Conspiracy Theory' has undergone an Orwellian Redefinition and thus please consider that “conspiracy theory”, now no longer means any events that are explained by a conspiracy. Instead, now it currently means an explanation - or even a fact, that is somehow out of step with the government’s own explanation and that of its MSM pimps and whores.

Thus, in other words - as any truth might become increasingly uncomfortable for government and its Ministry of Propaganda, any new 'truth' is now redefined as "conspiracy theory", by which is meant absurd and laughable explanations that we ought to apparently ignore. In other words, 'the truth' of the event was unacceptable to the authorities and to the Ministry of Propaganda that represents The Interests of The Authorities & TPTB.

We know, religious discussions tend to be endless, and are not about facts. I appreciate your non-emotional, non-hysterical adult response. I think this sort of idea becomes more believable than it might otherwise be, because we know our so-called leaders have, and do lie to us. That said, to slightly modify Freud's original intent with the Phrase;"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar".

So, to your level of intellect, when I post a link, debunking the conspiracy theories, that is selling conspiracy theories. Brilliant.

You profit from the dead. Your delusions lead to the most despicable actions. Take your medication, there's no need to live in the clutches of schizophrenia.

'Trashy' : Your projection of your own self-evident psychopathology - is the most interesting aspect of your words here. Your ridiculous accusations and deep desire to keep bumping this thread has all the indications of delusionary state and obsessive compulsive behaviour. Talk of meds is a further sign and mirror into your own reality. Your multiple personalities are unravelling & I even feel kind of sorry for you.

for you to think there is no threat at all shows the extreme other side of the issue.......putting your head in the sand is just as bad as thinking everyone is out to get you.....

Q : Re. Jesse Ventura, why are you pushing that line here 'Trashy', especially as you sprout your usual wannabe : agenda-setter ; language dictator ; pseudo-empirical, drivel below as ''jennifer'' ?!!!

A : Because you're bending over backwards and turning yourself inside out, madly trying to contort your damaged brain so as to burn all sides & both ends of your twisted - 'CONcern Troll' candle !!

CONclusion : You're an evil, fecking conniving eedjut & out to co-opt and neuter the forum !

More conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo. How can people even believe this crap after 12 years of debunking? How can "educated" people be so gullible? We no longer live in 1600 when people believed in all sorts of nonsense and fairy tales! This is modern times where science has been developed. We use logical thinking based on evidence. What's up with this complete nonsense. Why are people so dumb and gullible in 2013?

Such ridiculous crap should be retracted from the forum. It is against forum rule #2, and against all decent serious thought.
