Conspiracy thread

[ghostntheshell]

Trust me. I fully 100% agree with the comments that the media is 100% propaganda.
I don't accept the "news" as truth. In fact, if I may dig up the sensitive topic of 9/11. I still remember - to this day, and I shall never forget this - I was watching CNN and the twin towers (I literally woke up to the first hit, and watched the second hit) and they played a clip with the caption "LIVE" in the corner - and it was a bunch of women in the streets, dressed in the full head dress (with only the eye slits) and they were cheering. I was so stunned. I felt my blood boil - as CNN was reporting they were "responding" to the attacks... live. Cheering. I remember seeing red and wishing death upon them. How could ANYONE cheer the murder of the innocent?

Then it hit me like a tonne of bricks. The location of these cheering women. They were half way across the world - and it would be 4am their time. Not the sunny afternoon they were portraying.

I realized at that very instant that I was witnessing deliberate miss-representation to serve no other purpose than to provoke feelings of anger and the wish for revenge.



The "war in Iraq" was soon blended in with the "war on terror" - because no one would oppose a war on terror.

I have since lost all faith in the media. The problem is - people still watch it. People still tune in in droves.

More and more are waking up.

My wife was watching the live broadcast of the fire when the first tower 'collapsed'.

It was early morning here. She called me in to the lounge room to see the replay.

I walked in just as the replay started.

My words to her were What the fuck? 'What did they do, demolish it? It looks like they demolished it?

If you said that to anyone at the time they looked at you like you were nuts.

Been WIDE awake ever since.

Re: Old School Riders

I agree with the media being full of crap.

But I subscribe to the chaos theory.

Not one of conspiracy.

The twin towers collpase "conspiracy theory" has been totally debunked by anyones standards.

Yes the media does manipulate the news sometimes but it happens for ratings and at times for political bias, ............
but even with the bias it's not a "conspiracy" of or by the "puppetmaster by whatever name you want to call him"

It's more of a whole lot of individuals within an organization (the news) not working in concert but merely doing a whole lot of little (or not so little) actions that contain some piece of their liberal (or conservative) bias that comes out in the end product.


Now we all need to apoligize for hi-jacking this thread and I hope it gets edited out, this thread section is the last place to be hi-jacking a thread.

Who started this thread for me?

I didn't start it...

I am also not claimig to have any theory as to the destruction of the twin towers - but the media onslaught to promote anger - followed by the blending of the Iraq war / war on terror - which I must add was discussed and agreed that the lines were being blurred, perhaps deliberately by the Bush administration.

The fact that CNN was showing "Live" coverage - with the cheering "enemy" with full knowledge that it was NOT live - and in reality it was women celebrating a victory for womens rights.. (they did appologize the error, WEEKS later).


As for the Iraq / War on Terror blending - anyone with their head on their shoulders could see that one -

No one would say boo about the war on terror - because of the civilian loss of life, and the horrible nature of the event.

The war on Iraq? Remember - it was to find weapons of mass destruction - remember?

Remember?

Canada wouldn't join that war - due to it's flimsy reasons for starting it.

Canada did join the war on "terror" as it was the result of an attack - or an otherwise justifiable cause.

These are the posts I moved from the In Memory forum. I thought you might want to continue the discussion here. If not I can delete the thread if you want, I just thought there as some interesting points.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to show any disrespect in the "In memory" forum.
I didn't realize that's where the thread was.

It's OK and I don't think anyone would think you meant disrespect, you're points were good ones, and the MOds are just doing their job.

This is a pretty intellectual bunch although we may not always agree with each other.

With quick thinking minds sometimes we can go off on tangents not relevant to the thread or not realizing what thread we are in.
