Just want a make a note on conspiracy videos...
While they are incredibly interesting, I would advise that you take these videos with a pinch of salt. These videos are always saying 'don't believe what you see/read in the media' but do not forget that this is also a form of media.
If you are told not to believe main stream media, then why should you assume that everything you see in a conspiracy video is 100% fact? Some videos I have seen are so full of pitiful lies it's desperate and laughable, where as others are very good, these are the ones which are actually worrying.
Cheers, merka.
Eat the meat and spit out the bones mate.

Nobody believes them 100% mate, but it's always good to have an open mind and not fall in line with people (sheeps) who think the world (or government)is fine and everything runs smoothly..

If that's what they want to believe merka it's up to them, nobody is saying anything is 100% true hence why it's called a theory, but if it has any substance it becomes a possibility..
(im not saying you have) but for people to just dismiss them because it sounds outrageous is just ignorant..
take 9/11 for instance it sounds mad that their own government would blow up their own buildings and kill their own people, but there so much evidence to suggest they did (and didn't) it seems plausible.
like i said if they want to strongly believe these theories let them, it doesn't concern or affect you so why can't they?
nobody has full proof these conspiracies are true nobody has full proof they are false..... it's like religion..
sorry for the long post.

Have to agree about the let people judge themselves, most people believe darwins theory of evolution an no one utters a word, but it is still only a theory.
There are some amazing theory's out there, it's up to the person which theory they take on board as fact or whatever. Each to their own eh fellas?

Well as it says in 'in plane sight', as soon as there is a piece of evidence it is no longer a theory, but a possibility.

Agree TS, you judge each thing on its merits.
Its the only thing that annoys me about conspiracy theorists. For example -
My housemate's a big fan of David Icke so I've borrowed a lot of his vids etc. Icke loves to say that people like him are labelled nutjobs, and the masses dismiss them as such. Your average person's worst fear is being labelled an 'outsider' or not 'normal', so they dismiss people like Icke without a second thought.
But when it comes to the more far-out Icke theories, when I dismiss them my hosuemate (and Icke, in a sweeping manner does the same in his talks) - accuses me of being narrow-minded or brainwashed, in good jest but still.
Now, as an open-minded person - it repulses me to be called such a thing, and therefore Icke is using the same control mechanism as the people he despises do with the masses.
Anyone even giving Icke the time of day is likely a fairly open-minded person. They'd hate to be told they weren't 'enlightened' and so the weaker-willed followers of conspiracy theories accept everything they're told as fact without question.
How is that different to the 'brainwashed masses' swallowing eveything the media serves them??
