    I don't really have anything golden to add here. I'll just say this - if Bill Clinton can't keep an affair with a White House intern a secret, how in the blue fuck could the government pull off Sandy Hook and/or 9/11?

    Or was the whole Monica Lewinsky thing a conspiracy too? ::)

    Is anybody familiar with Ben Swann?

    Is he really doing what any good journalist should do or is he just a piece of shit?

    No it was a plant to make everyone think the government can't keep secrets.

    Duh.

    The problem with conspiracy theories is that sometimes they have a nugget of truth buried in them. Like, did you know that the FBI encouraged MLK Jr. to commit suicide?

    After him being under surveillance, the FBI knew he was having affairs. So they sent a letter, under a fake name, that said killing himself might be the best way out.

    Or the government conducted numerous experiments on its own soldiers to see what would happen.

    Or the CIA selling drugs in Los Angeles to fund a covert war in Central America.

    You hear enough of those, and suddenly things that might seem outlandish and impossible become something more.

    Another weird thing about the Bobby Kennedy killing is that (and I'm sure he was absolutely not part of any conspiracy) George Plimpton was present at the time. In fact, there's a picture of him helping hold Sirhan down. Talk about being a Zelig.

    and no one associated with the Detroit Lions has made a significant tackle since then

    also, during Prohibition government officials poisoned alcohol.

    My friend who is buying this conspiracy theory is now saying that the man who took the 6 kids into his house is probably a child molester.
    Could somebody please explain to me why somebody might think that?
    Frankly, I don't see it.
     
  10. Tell your friend you need new friends. And try the blue stuff.

  12. The blue stuff is a lot better, trust me.
