Interesting movie about investigating 9-11. Always interested to see how people work conspiracy theories into a work of fiction. Not totally effective because it’s basically a conversation between two people about the attacks. But it’s effective because it’s about a skeptical reporter looking for info, rather than the non-skeptical point of view [...]
Watched this. Sort of another “Zeitgeist,” except it’s fairly right wing (as opposed to Libertarian) and full of contradictions. The elite are pagans out to create a world that worships the earth so the answer is…paganism. A strange mixture of New Age spirituality and right wing rhetoric. Has this alarmingly stupid [...]
Today’s peaceful news of the day: Experiments in Torture: Evidence of Human Subject Research and Experimentation in the ‘Enhanced’ Interrogation Program:
In one gruesome set of experiments, at least 25 detainees were submitted to both individual and combined use of the different “enhanced interrogation” techniques developed by the CIA through reverse-engineering of [...]
Listen to my podcast interview on Alterati with Joseph Matheny, where I talk about conspiracies and reveal something about myself that I’ve never actually revealed in public. I’ll be getting into that in Part Two of The American Book of the Dead, which I’ve started writing and will likely post here in pieces. You’ll have [...]
I’ve thought Chemtrails were the bottom of the barrel of conspiracy theorizing. The concept of spraying mind-control chemicals from airplanes isn’t all that convincing – mind control paranoia rarely is. But spraying aluminum into the atmosphere to help combat global warming is more interesting:
Good debunking stuff here.
Meanwhile: Bill Gates pays for ‘artificial’ clouds to beat [...]
I’ve written before about how certain types of conspiracy theory have been taken over solely by the right. I’ve been on the lookout for a forum to discuss some of these issues but find they’re now taken over by the hard right. Case in point, a place like Godlike Productions, which last I checked (during [...]
Say what you will about the conspiracy theory inherit in the Zeitgeist movement, but you cannot deny the intelligence and sincerity of Jacque Frescoe and his vision of a possible utopia. Here’s a fascinating interview (first part) with Larry King from 1974.
The Venus Project clearly separates the Zeitgeist movement from other conspiracy theorizing from the [...]
Powerful, effective. If the issue of 9-11 truth gives you jitters, you might be put off by part 2, but you should at least investigate it before dismissing it out of hand. But part one makes an enormously compelling case for the cross-pollination of world myths and how Jesus’s death and resurrection is nothing more [...]
