Conspiracy Theories.

[Rich]

HERE is a smörgåsbord of conspiracy theories. Pick your favorite(s).

I think perhaps there are too many for a poll.

I'd like to think the majority of our group is part of this list:

Main Core is the code name of a database maintained since the 1980s by the federal government of the United States, which contains personal and financial data of millions of U.S. citizens believed to be threats to national security. The data, which comes from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources, is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The database's name derives from the fact that it contains "copies of the 'main core' or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community."

The Main Core database is believed to have originated with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in 1982, following Ronald Reagan's Continuity of Operations plan outlined in the National Security Directive (NSD) 69 / National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 55, entitled "Enduring National Leadership," implemented on September 14, 1982.

As of 2008 there are reportedly eight million Americans listed in the database as possible threats, often for trivial reasons, whom the government may choose to track, question, or detain in a time of crisis.

The existence of the database was first reported on in May 2008 by Christopher Ketcham and in July 2008 by Tim Shorrock.

Man, I love a good conspiracy theory. It's not that I tend to believe any of them, but am just so very entertained.

Problem is some turn out to be true or at least have a significant element of truth. Problem is separating the wheat from the chaff and the nutters from the sane.

The Federal Reserve isn't a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy fact. They don't even try to hide.

yeah, I was expecting more on Chemtrails, not really landing on the moon, alien bases we discovered when we really landed on the moon...

Talking about the alien moon bases will get you neuralized by the MIB.

Hey guys what were we talking about, and why do I have this strange afterimage in my vision?

I think perhaps it would have been better if they left it at 23

Yeah, I love how they say that 23 is the magic number because everything of consequence is divisible by 5.
