Good question prof s. Watergate was a media frenzy, distracting from the real issues. Unelected Gerald Ford became president as a result, he then used the 25th to appoint Nelson Rockefeller as VP. Ford didn't cleanse the hill of corruption. -Webster G. Tarpley & Anton Chaitkin, George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography, Chapter 7
What are your thoughts about the destroyed evidence in the Iran-Contra scandal? That's fact and it's right out of the same wiki article you posted. Because it was destroyed do you assume the evidence was irrevelent to holding accountable the people involved?
You're pushing it with the conspiracy theory impact on the whole of one's life. I don't blame other people or organizations for my shortcomings. I know that I won't come out with an MA if I don't study hard at my uni. I believe in taking charge of one's life fully, and that, until a political powered entity removes my rights to follow what I want, well, no one else is to blame. I believe that disproportionate taxing does little to help the working class and effectively enables the richest of the country to dodge paying taxes...i believe this has a relative influence on my life, but I don't point to a Rockefellar power cabal or anything as the men in charge. Prof, I feel like you stereotype me into a raving alex jones loving CTheorist which isn't at all what I am. I can't bear listening to jones' garbage. If anything he's a perpetuator of the system, leading astray people who feel like the corruption spans past an administrative body, and has it's roots more in money. Alex Jones doesn't represent the conspiracy theory culture. He's a vent that the average joe american can listen to and form conclusions. I'm not saying that everything he says is garbage, but a lot of it is merely speculation. I think he takes truths and renders them invalid. That's why he's alive. Plus, martyred people...with his profile, make people protest.
I remember the popular science article you posted which was supposedly an infallible refute of the other view.
http://www.ae911truth.org/
have you read the evidence in that website? They're architects and engineers, finding faults with the official story. I'd say it's worth your time. It's a different website than 9/11truth.org
The majority of Iranians felt that Ayatollah was a good leader. Yes, he murdered and persecuted, but so did the shah before him. Heck, they'd rape virgins before executing them because it's law that a virgin can't be put to death.
What do you think of the Defense Authorization Act of 2007? It gives the president power to declare marshal law for the laughable reason of restoring public order. Do you see your country heading in a good direction? What do you think of publicly elected officials(clinton, harper) speaking at Bilderberg meetings? Is it ok for government elects to hold private meetings, barred from media scrutiny? Maybe you believe the public's to stupid to form a rational opinion based on openness and honesty.
I'd ask you to read the power elite playbook series of articles, but you'd probably decline, seeing as how they're on conspiracyarchive.com All the articles are heavily referenced. I'm open to any articles you have which back your opinion.
I've found that the Bible has a lot to say about end times. If you want true answers, it's all in that book. None of you guys believe in its validity I can assume. Don't go Dawkins on me, but I believe that fulfilled prophecy has proven the authenticity of the Bible.
