A list of kooky conspiracy theories
Here are a list of crazy conspiracy theories that nobody should pay any attention to.

A RW Group known as PNAC wrote that America would need 'a new pearl harbor' to revitalize the military almost a year before 9/11.

A Republican led organization known as ChoicePoint did the 'scrubbing' of African American voters.

Fox News is not fair and balanced.

A Televangelist/Bush supporter had a diamond mining business with a dictator who shared the diamonds with Al Qaeda.

Another Televangelist/Bush supporter is connected to the man who owns the school that trained two of the 9/11 hijackers.

Somebody in the Bush Administration revealed the name of a CIA agent.

Bush lied to the American people.

Bush failed to protect us on 9/11.

Dick Cheney lobbied Congress to allow Halliburton have business with Iran.

Diebold likes Republicans more than Democrats.

Osama bin Laden and other Islamic 'freedom fighters' received support from Republican Administrations.

The Reagan Administration supported Saddam Hussein.

That's the list of crazy conspiracy theories.

4. Those are the true ones
Here are the crazy ones:
1) The majority of (or even some) earthquakes are caused by man
2) The 9-11 planes were remotely piloted
3) The pentagon wasn't hit by a plane
4) There were already explosives inside the WTC
5) Iraqi organs are being sold to American hospitals for transplant

Here are some that I think MIGHT be true, but I'm not convinced about:
1) George Bush was "wired" during the debates
2) The plane in Pennsylvania was shot down by the airforce
3) We used napalm in Fallujah
4) American soldiers are coming home from Iraq with a "mystery" diseas

7. you can take #1 off your list
this is really getting tiring posting this, and the necessary disclaimer:

Federal brine-pumping operation may have caused quake on Colorado-Utah border
By Associated Press
Monday, November 15, 2004

A federal facility that pumps salty water 14,000 feet into the Earth's crust probably is associated with a magnitude 3.9 earthquake that struck the Utah-Colorado border this month, an official said.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation facility removes salt from the Dolores River, then pumps 230 gallons of brine per minute into deep wells in Utah's Paradox Valley Area.
The facility has caused thousands of earthquakes in the area since 1991, but most have been too small for people to feel. The 3.9 quake, which struck Nov. 6, was felt in Grand Junction, some 60 miles away. No damage was reported.
``We have a seismic network set up for measuring and recording any events associated with the injection process, and it appears this earthquake was one probably associated with that process,'' said Andy Nichols, manager of the federal facility. ``Every once in a while there's a large event felt at the surface, and this was one of those events.''


and the disclaimer: no, i'm not claiming we or anybody purposly caused the 9.0 earhtquake, just stating that yes, indeed, we DO cause at least SOME earthquakes. the wake of the disaster that happened this week is a natural time to discuss such issues.

the rest of your lists, i'd pretty much agree with you, if that makes you feel any better.

8. interesting list, allow me to comment
"2) The 9-11 planes were remotely piloted"

While I don't personally subscribe to this theory, the technology most certainly exists.

"3) We used napalm in Fallujah"

I don't see any reason why this isn't true.

"4) American soldiers are coming home from Iraq with a "mystery" disease"

They did last time. The government covered it up for nearly 10 years until the truth came out.

5. Eight of those are definitely..
.. worth a closer look.

Here's one more, why did Soros go against Bush?

-----------------
We as a nation are living beyond our means. The federal government is in debt. Most state and local governments are in debt (their form of deficit spending is to issue bonds). Most assuredly the American consumer is dangerously in debt. And, finally, the American dollar is losing its purchasing power steadily and daily. Remember, debt is the promise of future income to pay for today's consumption. Nobody is guaranteed a future, much less future income.

George Soros, the billionaire financier, did not oppose the re-election of George Bush because Soros is a left-winger. He opposed Bush's re-election because, as a man who understands finance, he is fearful for the economic future of this country unless we change directions.

When the money-smart folks get scared, us country boys had better pucker up, too. Get out of debt, slam the door in the faces of all salespeople and turn off the TV. I believe a storm is just over the horizon.

6. add this to it : Viktor Yushchenko's American wife of 4 years....worked
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 11:16 AM by ElsewheresDaughter
in the Reagan and the Bush 41 White House

Bruce Bartlett writes: http://www.ncpa.org/edo/bb/2004/20041027bb.htm

"As it happens, I know Yushchenko’s wife, Katherine Chumachenko, an American of Ukrainian descent. She and I met in the late 1980s when she was working in the human rights bureau at the State Department. Later, we worked together at the White House, where she was in the Office of Public Liaison, and the Treasury Department, where she worked in the executive secretary’s office.

Kathy—she is now known as Kateryna—is one of the brightest, most dedicated conservatives I have ever known. She has a M.B.A. from the University of Chicago and is well versed in that school’s free market economics tradition. The first time we ever met was at a Heritage Foundation event.

Anyone who met Kathy quickly discovered that the liberation of Ukraine from communist tyranny was her primary mission in life, to the exclusion of almost everything else. So it was no surprise to me when she moved to Kiev soon after it broke free of Moscow’s control in 1991. I helped get her a position there with KPMG, an American consulting company, where she trained Ukrainians in Western methods of banking, accounting and other fundamentals of a market economy."
