OK, here's ANOTHER reason for people, including myself, to believe in conspiracy theories. It's because you and I, and all of us, know instinctively that whatever the complete truth is, our government is not going to share it with us. If they share any of it (whatever it is) with us, they will first massage the truth, put spin-control on the truth, and accentuate what they want us to believe, and leave out the rest.
WINSTON CHURCHILL once said something about "The truth being so precious that it must be preceded by a bodyguard of lies."

I was just listening to talk radio CHQR 770 in part of Canada the guess claim the government made a deal with grey aliens for the technology we now use in exchange for some of the D.N.A. from people they choose but our government renegged on that too so now the earth is in danger because these aliens are pissed off at us !! They are sopose to be way ahead of us but they still fooling around with abducting some people and running spaceships over others !! I must be strange because I never laugh so hard in my life!! These people actually believe this . If we renegged on an agreement with them and they are so much more advance than us why don't they just take what we promise ? Man they could learn a lot from some bullies we had in my school they would just put their fist in your face while they take your lunch!!

Hey why don't we start a conspiracy theory of our own ? you know it is just a theory so we can use our imagination. Let's see how far it would go !! So what's your theory ?? I believe that we will get a new president after Senor Bush who will have a scientific mind and he will be able to see into the future and will change the way we believe and do things , he will send all known criminals on a one way trip to the moon , so we will have peace and security here , the little green men from mars will move to the moon and be masters over all the people we send there !! Now add your theory to this let's how far this will go !!

Hi garvingy2
Looking at this in the glaring light of full paranoia, which is a kind of sickly green color, I wonder if our next president will be their own agent, or simply be a puppet controlled by "you-know-who," also known as "them." You have to fill in the blanks yourself, as I don't know who "them" are at the moment, but you're right; this is fun!
So it works this way: If our new president is truly in charge, then we might be faced with another aggressive, know-it-all person (you pick the gender). If, however, our new chief executive winds up being "controlled" by "them", then the conspiracy goes deeper, much deeper.
We are ALL being watched. Have you ever noticed that, when you're out having dinner at a restaurant, every time you talk, the ice cube in your drink moves closer to you?
PARANOIA is FUN!! WHEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee

To find out more follow these instructions:
1) Type the word illuminati
2) Reverse the letters
3) Use the resulting word as a domain name
4) The result should be www.itanimulli.com
5) Enter this web address into your browser and ask the people you meet whatever you want to know. They will have all the answers.
6) Whatever you do, don’t tell them I sent you "There is no fool like an intellectual...a kind of clever stupidity, bred out of a line of logic in the head, nothing to do with experience".

Part of the reason (but certainly not all of it) is the human desire to put yourself at the center of things. That's one reason so many "Christian" religions were created in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's no fun if you ("you" meaning a group of conspiracy nuts) have to follow the other guy's religion. It's more important to the ego to form your own - after all, you certainly understand things better than "they" do.
So here we are - JFK, 9/11, and so on. The straightforward, logical solution to these events was developed by "them," but "you" (and again I don't mean anybody n particular - I'm talking about the conspiracy theorests in general) have a "better" idea, and certainly understand things better than "they" do. Paranoia helps too. Never mind that the conspiracy theorest might be a couch potato who will never amount to anything, and doesn't have enough education to clean spitoons - they "understand" anyway.

we are programed in our societies to place blame on others for what we can not explain...and those who are not Sheeples are always questioning........this is a Polarity Reality and no matter what, there is always an opposing force to evreything Thus what we believe to be right and good will have a wrong and bad....With the changing of the guard so to speak and this transit into a new
astromomy and astroligical cycle it means New Energy Space-Time in the universe where frequency changes...here we will begin to move to center point creating more melded balance
still of the -/+ Polarity but with far less extreme and more harmony
