So just a quick show of hands and it looks like nobody here thinks the moon landing was faked right? Please tell me none of you are that far off center....

The Moon, Pearl Harbor, most plane crashes, 9/11, Kennedy, Waco, Area 51 etc. Nothing big happens without kooks saying they know the real story. | ||||

| Oh I know there are lunatics like 7960 mentioned out there, I was just hoping none, or at least not too many of the regulars in here were one of them. And no I can't define "too many" for you but I'll know it when I see it. | ||||

| Area 51 is a real weird case...im not waving my flag about aliens making contact in 1948, but they do some really weird shit there, honestly, as the world's lone super power, do we need to keep that many secrets? Every military in the world is like 10-20 years behind us | ||||

We are blackmailing the alien sociologists that if they don't keep us ahead in technology by at least 2 decades we'll release the information that they are watching us. This would ruin their carefully crafted social experiment of "What would a civilization do if they didn't know there was civilized life on every single planet in the universe?"

But since we deny it is there Russia doesn't even think to point its satelites in that direction. | ||||

| the problem is that imagination inflates things it would be remarkable if there werent behind the scenes shenanigans & smoke filled back rooms where power od dealt & deals cut etc. its how humans behave, ..., i can see evidence of such stuff even on the the blandest of message boards equally any huge successfull conspiracy, especially if centuries old, would have its whistleblowers, schisms etc as thats how humans behave too. i think that there are many unanswered questions in the Kennedy assassination & only today the bbc are reporting a story that would provide fodder for fans of huge conspiracy stories NI business man, Brendan Duddy was for 20 years the go between the IRA & UK govt in 93 the UK govt was given a message the gist of which was that the conflict was over but the IRA needed British advice on how to end its war. Several times Major has said the message came from IRA leader Martin Mcguiness, who has always denied this Duddy now says he didnt make it up meaning only his MI6 (MI5?) contact 'Robert' could have made it up, ..., which if true is truely astounding I can find no links on this except this one which is a real player clip of this morning radio broadcast & it may well not work outside the UK Last edited by avsp; 03-15-2008 at 06:10 AM.

| The govt hasn't "denied" area 51 in a while. They admit there's a facility there, they just don't talk about it. | ||||
