That's soon going to morph into citations of the 5th Amendment.

I have more faith in David Bowie's comment that he forgot 1974 because he took too much LSD that year.

How does this work exactly, talk about 1984 and orwell.

The paper did not really call for anything of the sort, it mentioned it as one of many possible options.

The whole thing was written for people who know NOTHING about conspiracy bullshit its why all of the basics were covered.

I recall you people knee jerking about it then and you were wrong, instead of modifying your bullshit you just kept that incorrect mentality and here we are again?

DID ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY READ IT?

Why the f*ck am my time again if you guys are just going to rewrite history as you go along..

I guess this just get put on the same "wrong but i believe it anyway" bullshit like brietbarts corner being taken out..

Conspiracy Theories

Abstract
Many millions of people hold conspiracy theories; they believe that powerful people have worked together in order to withhold the truth about some important practice or some terrible event. A recent example is the belief, widespread in some parts of the world, that the attacks of 9/11 were carried out not by Al Qaeda, but by Israel or the United States. Those who subscribe to conspiracy theories may create serious risks, including risks of violence, and the existence of such theories raises significant challenges for policy and law. The first challenge is to understand the mechanisms by which conspiracy theories prosper; the second challenge is to understand how such theories might be undermined.

No this is one of the typical cases where you guys want single sentences and silver bullet byte sized answers and they are not there to give.

The whole thing has to be taken in context, it would take entirely too much time to break it all down for faith driven people who do not care anyway.
