there is nothing to see here

9-11 was the work of Osama and Saddam and Zarqawi and whomever else Dick Cheney and Karl Rove choose to blame.

A complete and nonpartisan investigation was completed by a republican congress appointed by god himself and they concluded that the story Cheney and Rumsfeld made up before noon on 9-11 was exactly what happened--it was the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

So shut up already with all the wacky, wild-eyed, crazy conspiracy theories that only serve to undermine the credibility of this site and our holy, um, uh, cause. You are merely distracting us from the constructive work we could be doing, fighting the global war on Terrrrr. You are as crazy as Junebugs in February with your insane conjectures. You remind me of crazy people I have read about.







Oh. And the earth is flat. It has to be. Otherwise, the first time we fell down, we'd all start rolling and never stop.

Hear you loud and clear!





===============================================================
Lemminghood is not an intellectual phenomenon - it is psychological.  As such, no socio-economic class is immune to its strangulating effect. A grant-seeking university scientist can be a lemming just as much as a fashion obsessed teen-age girl. One blindly follows the latest trendy theory while the other blindly follows the latest trendy clothing style. What's the difference? Neither can resist the force of nature.

The power to fit in with one's social peers can be irresistible. To a human lemming, the logic behind an opinion doesn't count as much as the power and popularity behind an opinion. Man, like lemming, behaves collectively. And it could be no other way. Naturally, the individual must be equipped with this trait. Otherwise, the smallest steps toward civilization could never have been made. Lemminghood is a survival trait, an inborn instinct in the majority of people. However, as with all natural phenomena, this tendency can be manipulated and used for harmful purposes.

It is this lemming effect which enables entire segments of a society to lose their sense of judgment all at the same time.

This essay will likely be wasted on many lemmings. For lemmings, denial is a basic psychological defense mechanism used to not only shield themselves from unpleasant realities, but also to reassure themselves that they will still fit within the acceptable range of opinion held by their peer group. Lemmings are absolutely terrified at the thought of being labeled as an "extremist" or a "conspiracy theorist".

At all costs, their beliefs must always be on the "right" side of the issue and conform within the boundaries of their lemming peers. Lemmings simply cannot bear the burden of responsibility, or the discomfort, which comes with thinking independently. They'll resist any efforts to change their misguided beliefs with all their mental energy.

We can try to open their closed minds and free them from their self-imposed blindness, but it's not easy fighting the force of human nature. The chains of ideological conformity have too strong of a grip, and breaking them is a difficult task. With the limited resources at our disposal, it is next to impossible to compete with the media lemming-masters. Nevertheless, some of us must make the meager attempt, and thus lay the foundation upon which the truth might one day rise again.

2. I know that you are right because I saw it on TeeVee

3. Okey dokey. Now, be sure to take your TeeVee's advice:

And you know, more and more televisions ARE recommending an amazing NEW, psychic breakthrough:

CONFIDENCE in The System. Condidence in The System will keep "them" in power longer, longer AND

tend to calm and obscure the headaches, misery, strain, and excrutiating pain that come from knowing

"hey, those SOBs are lying thru their ever-lovin' teeth about 9/11 and everything else, too".
