This thread is gold. I especially like the "sheeple" comments, that zinger never grows old or less relevant.

Fotze said it best with his comments about the government; the idea that an organization of such invincible mediocrity could manage a wide-ranging and successful conspiracy is a joke. I'd be surprised if Bush v.2 could organize a handjob in a whorehouse, never mind the simulated destruction of the World Trade Centre by terrorists.

Humans see patterns everywhere, even where there are no patterns to see. Much like the CIA, as I alluded to in another thread, we have an overabundance of facts from which you can assemble almost any scenario and make it somewhat plausible; facts are only useful when you have an appropriate context from which to understand them. In this case, the study of history tells us that conspiracies are never both large *and* successful, so the idea that the world is actually run, or even merely guided, by some bilderbergers behind the scenes is simply wrong. Data that seems to point otherwise is nothing but noise plucked out of the background and made to seem relevant, and there is no need to *prove* otherwise because it isn't the data that is faulty, it is the assumptions behind the data that are.
