    Deadliest airshow ever. I remember the listening to the news on the radio and then seeing it on the tv news.
    They said there were people not accounted for.

    If you were a billionaire, wouldn't you try and change the world to fit your vision? Wouldn't you enlist your powerful friends to help? That's all the most conspiracies boil down to: a bunch of rich dudes, throwing their weight around. It's not more complicated than that.

    It's now been released what Jack Ruby said to Lee Harvey Oswald. "You dumb son of a bitch, you shot the wrong Kennedy!"

    Wow, all that senseless effort for less than nothing. And just think if these kind of tactics worked in real life - hell, one can imagine even a US President falling prey to them, perhaps even being falsely impeached !!

    Naw, this is a comic book, kids read them, they get this stuff - no responsible self-respecting adults would resort to kid stuff like this, would they ? :)

    911 was the largest theft of money in the history of the world. Donald Rumsfeld had a press conference 9-10-01. 2.7 trillion dollars was stolen from the Pentagon, the airliner supposedly hit the Pentagon right were the computer mainframes operated, thwarting any trails that would lead to where the money went, 911 was the distraction to the theft

    It's bad enough we get Fake News. Now, we find out that we've been lied to all along, regarding two of the four basic elements ! What are they up to ?

    techie76 conservatism isn't compatible with a free society

    A conspiracy is nothing more than a plan formed by 2 or more people.
    A theory is nothing more than a plausible idea, basically.

    Throwing the phrase "conspiracy theorist" around as if it were a weaponized language insult is unintelligent, unenlightened, ignorant & says much about the person throwing the phrase around and nothing at all about those labelled.

    Fake news is -these days- pretty much anything that disagrees with your political ideology.

    I wholly disagree.

    Fake News is the; skewing, biased, purposeful distortion, deceptive, deceiving , obscuring truth, of true Journalism.

    Fake News is nothing more, and nothing less, of LYING!

    That's what EVERYTHING on t.v is though.
    It's all skewed. ALL of it.

    Which makes it not journalism, but propaganda.

    We don't have journalists on tv, we have teleprompter readers. In most other countries, they don't even bother to call themselves journalists anymore. Instead, they're called newsreaders or presenters. Because that's what they do: they read & present. They surely don't practice actual journalism however. That's not been seen since the days of Murrow.

    I do speak with qualification however, since I've published 4 different magazines, contributed to several others, wrote for a few papers, worked in radio & have a brother that's network anchor. Actual true journalism is something I'm very familiar with.

    If one wants genuine non-politically biased news, ya hafta hunt for it- because it sure as fuck isn't going to find you. Politically charged hate-speech propaganda will however always lurk around every corner. It's that way by design.
