To be honest I think he's just opened a whole can of worms on himself and is scared sh*tless by what he's finding. It may be safe to say he is the exact type of person this stuff is aimed at grabbing the attention of because they spread the message out of fear.

Maybe, but you'd think he'd be more involved with the thread then.

One thing I remember from when I was younger was when I was scared, I would ask a question and then sit back and hope the answer alleviated my fears. Sometimes it just makes you feel better to hear "The boogey man isn't real". I agree though, to start as many threads as he has in the past little while, all really sitting on the same topic, while adding nothing is trollish.

Sorry, had no idea I offending so many of you, (been real busy at school, my last week before work placement)

I was just honestly seeking more opinions and insight into a seminar that I will be conducting this friday, topics I plan to touch on include these allegations against the Bildergroup organization, like why won't they say what they are doing?
Why is Lou Dobbs the only one speaking about the Amero? and what about this Trans-Texas Corridor thing, is it really going to be a NAFTA “Superhighway”?

Yes I am really 36, working towards my BA these next couple of years.
Thanks again CP!

You're conducting a seminar but want us to provide the content for you?

Is your seminar a long series of questions? Will your audience learn to think for themselves if you ask enough questions? Why can't I stop asking questions?

I'm not saying this is the case with this particular topic, but since this thread has turned into a conspiracy debate in general, I'll say this...

At what point did global warming shift from a 'conspiracy theory' to accepted scientific theory?

At what point did the US faking WMD's in Iraq change from 'conspiracy theory' to proven fact?

Are middle class workers beginning to see that free trade agreement protesters actually know what they're talking about? There was a time FTA's were widely viewed as an amazing progression for economies everywhere. What happened in Seattle in 1999 was the first in what has a become an incredibly strong social movement, and includes Barrak Obama and virtually every union worker in the US.

My point is, social movements and truths that go against public opinion are always met with strong criticism at first. The more people hear about them and learn of their true ideas, the more they pick up steam. Again, I'm not saying this particular theory will have this trend, and personally I don't see it to be the case, but there's something to be said to all the folks here who sharply dismiss these theories one after another and paint us 'conspiracy theorists'. I'm well aware that my argument is not bullet proof, and frankly I'm not interested in further debating things like this.

So you're going to believe all that crap...yes it IS crap....because one day it might be 'proven fact.'

Sorry...but it seems like gullible was put back into the dictionary.

See this is the stuff that's bugging people. You're more or less starting a topic then ignoring it and just reading replies. The fact you've got three all on the same subject is also a tad bit annoying, especially since they're all for the exact same thing and two of them had the exact same substance.

I think you need to find a better resource material than a hockey message board to be honest.

Also the reason Lou Dobbs is so against it is because he sees it as an attack on American Soverignty and not many others do.

Both are very bad examples. Global Warming has had a lot of high profile scientific backing from the start and Iraq WMDs were always contested, it was never a conspiracy theory that any weren't found because it was documented by the UN Inspector that they didn't have any. If anything Iraq having WMDs was a right wing conspiracy theory and it got debunked.

Why is some of this stuff so hard to conceive? It's really astonishing how little research you seem to do before completely dismissing everything about these topics as hogwash.

I loved the part of the video when Bush said 'Let us not believe in conspiracy theories' lol. Sure sounds presidential.

When does Jose Canseco show up and distract us by hitting homeruns while he secretly eats the evidence?

Cause I'm so there.

Its astonishing how ignorant you think everyone here is.

Except, it really isn't....because if there is one thing you guys have in common, its thinking that everyone who dismisses your ridiculous claims is ignorant.

Is it an evil conspiracy, no.

Are international banking interests and governments working towards a one global market, one global currency? Yes.

To call it some great conspiracy is silly, talk to any professor of economics about the evolution of economics and economic systems.

Now truth be told I'd want us to stop allowing private banking to control currency, but thats another debate altogether.

People to often easily dismiss different beliefs as conspiracy nuts, what I don't like is that a lot of people just dismiss things without reading into it or bothering to form their own opinion.

Saying that Alex Jones is a fool, and yes I've read/viewed into my opinion.
