>Immediately presents his theories for the "real' motives behind 9/11 and JFK.

>>17738100
They're not theories. They're the official stories as understood by pretty much everyone, and they're just as bad as conspiracy theories. If you're unable to identify them as the official stories, then you clearly don't know anything about the topics.

>>17738102
>They're the official stories
so that makes it a fact?

>>17738107
When all the evidence points to them, they're the most plausible explanations, everyone from academics to government agree on them, and even the people they hurt generally have to accept their validity, they're much more valuable perspectives than the alternatives floating around the internet.

I think conspiracy theories is what people create in absence of proper information to get rid of cognitive dissonance in their head. People with low tolerance for cognitive dissonance are most prone to create conspiracy theories. They somehow need to make sense of an event so they create a theory that "fits into the puzzle" and hold it as true.

By schizophrenic I'm being literal; it's a reference to David Icke, one of the most famous conspiracy theorists who is a diagnosed schizophrenic.

I don't throw around the term autism. I grew up with a couple Asperger's kids, and it honestly bothers me how much people throw that term around.

I was also on meds as a kid for ADD and they made me really depressed for a couple years there, so I'm generally anti-meds.

I like beards, so I don't use that insult.

Now get out of your mom's basement, kiddo.

>>17738166
I can't really respond to this, because I have no idea what you're talking about. Your post makes no sense, but I'm probably missing a reference.

>>17738089
it wasn't the US that did it.

Think really hard about which 2 countries we have major issues with.

melamine in baby food.
false inflated diamond market

To sum up the thread.

OP: "Hey guys i'm an asshole, fuck you guys. Huhuhehe you don't believe people conspire to do stuff historically! Everything just happens! HAHA. I am right."

And OP died, the end.

>conspiracies aren't real because david icke is dumb

How far is your head up your ass to think you're being more logical than conspiracy theorists when you use ad hominem and ad populum?

>well ... conspiracy theorists usually just think that way because there's something wrong with their head and they want to believe in it for psychological reasons ... if everyone else believes in something, it has to be true, why come up with stupid theories ...

Go fuck yourself, and then come back and weigh the evidence of conspiracies impartially instead of just immediately discounting it and then coming up with reasons they're wrong after you've already made the decision to regard them as wrong.

>The Rosicrucian Fraternity existed in America prior to the First American Revolution. In 1774, the great Council of Three (the Fraternity's ultimate governing body) was composed of Benjamin Franklin, George Clymer and Thomas Paine. Thomas Paine was later succeeded by Lafayette, who, like Benjamin Franklin, was a member of the Paris Rosicrucian lodge “Humanidad.” In 1842, the Great Council of Three was revitalized by the novelist, George Lippard, who rewrote the exoteric ritual, giving it a patriotic-Christian basis. During the Civil War this Great Council was composed of Paschel Beverly Randolph, General Ethan Allen Hitchcock and Abraham Lincoln.

Quote from Gravity's Rainbow:
>In return for his good deed, Lyle Bland, who couldn’t care
less, is made a Mason. He finds good fellowship, all kinds
of comforts designed to remind him of his virility, and even
a number of useful business contacts. Beyond this, all is
just as tight as that Business Advisory Council. Non-Masons
stay pretty much in the dark about What Goes On,
though now and then something jumps out, exposes itself,
jumps giggling back again, leaving you with few details but
a lot of Awful Suspicions. Some of the American Founding
Fathers were Masons, for instance. There is a theory going
around that the U.S.A. was and still is a gigantic Masonic
plot under the ultimate control of the group known as the
Illuminati. It is difficult to look for long at the strange single
eye crowning the pyramid which is found on every dollar bill
and not begin to believe the story, a little. Too many
anarchists in 19th-century Europe—Bakunin, Proudhon,
Salverio Friscia—were Masons for it to be pure chance.

Herman Melville writing on the Knights-Templar
(1/2)
Templar? That's a romantic name. Let me see. Brian de Bois Gilbert was a Templar, I believe. Do we understand you to insinuate that those famous Templars still survive in modern London? May the ring of their armed heels be heard, and the rattle of their shields, as in mailed prayer the monk-knights kneel before the consecrated Host? Surely a monk-knight were a curious sight picking his way along the Strand, his gleaming corselet and snowy surcoat spattered by an omnibus. Long-bearded, too, according to his order's rule; his face fuzzy as a pard's; how would the grim ghost look among the crop-haired, close-shaven citizens? We know indeed -- sad history recounts it -- that a moral blight tainted at last this sacred Brotherhood. Though no sworded foe might outskill them in the fence, yet the worm of luxury crawled beneath their guard, gnawing the core of knightly troth, nibbling the monastic vow, till at last the monk's austerity relaxed to wassailing, and the sworn knights-bachelors grew to be but hypocrites and rakes.

But for all this, quite unprepared were we to learn that Knights-Templars (if at all in being) were so entirely secularized as to be reduced from carving out immortal fame in glorious battling for the Holy Land, to the carving of roastmutton at a dinner-board. Like Anacreon, do these degenerate Templars now think it sweeter far to fall in banquet than in war? Or, indeed, how can there be any survival of that famous order? Templars in modern London! Templars in their red-cross mantles smoking cigars at the Divan! Templars crowded in a railway train, till, stacked with steel helmet, spear, and shield, the whole train looks like one elongated locomotive!

No. The genuine Templar is long since departed. Go view the wondrous tombs in the Temple Church; see there the rigidly-haughty forms stretched out, with crossed arm upon their stilly hearts, in everlasting and undreaming rest. Like the years before the flood, the bold Knights-Templars are no more. Nevertheless, the name remains, and the nominal society, and the ancient grounds, and some of the ancient edifices. But the iron heel is changed to a boot of patent-leather; the long two-handed sword to a one-handed quill; the monk-giver of gratuitous ghostly counsel now counsels for a fee; the defender of the sarcophagus (if in good practice with his weapon) now has more than one case to defend; the vowed opener and clearer of all highways leading to the Holy Sepulchre, now has it in particular charge to check, to clog, to hinder, and embarrass all the courts and avenues of Law; the knight-combatant of the Saracen, breasting spear-points at Acre, now fights law-points in Westminster Hall. The helmet is a wig. Struck by Time's enchanter's Wand, the Templar is to-day a Lawyer.

But, like many others tumbled from proud glory's height -- like the apple, hard on the bough but mellow on the ground -- the Templar's fall has but made him all the finer fellow.

I dare say those old warrior-priests were but gruff and grouty at the best; cased in Birmingham hardware, how could their crimped arms give yours or mine a hearty shake? Their proud, ambitious, monkish souls clasped shut, like horn-book missals; their very faces clapped in bomb-shells; what sort of genial men were these? But best of comrades, most affable of hosts, capital diner is the modern Templar. His wit and wine are both of sparkling brands.

>Around 1974, I graduated into the occult, and spent a sold six or seven years immersed in the Kabala and the Chaldean, Celtic, and Druidic traditions … I also became fascinated with Aleister Crowley, the nineteenth-century magician who shared these beliefs.” (Penthouse Magazine, March, 1987, pp. 60,62)

Emerald Tablet, attributed to the mystical figure Hermes Trismegistus, from whence we have "Hermeticism"

The statue of Baphomet (Baphomet being the name of a god the Knights Templar were reputed to worship, and who was first drawn (so far as we can tell) by Eliphas Levi, 19th century Satanist/mystic, who Aleister Crowley, 20th century Satanist/mystic, thought himself to be the reincarnation of) represents this maxim by having one hand point to the heavens, one to the earth. Divinity is a reflection of humanity, man (supposedly) can become God by eating of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life that God didn't want man to, expelling him from the Garden of Eden after he ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil already so that he would not become immortal like Him...

Come on man. There's a lot of bogus shit out there, but this is a genuine conspiracy to conceal information relating to what actually happened.

Okay, last part probably isn't relevant, but is this not a little suspicious?

Well rise and be shot down
Dirt's gonna be your dessert

And the only way to get it

Or to be poor and devoid

You fucking nigger
You state the official story which would differ from theories for the reason the government is held accountable for wrong doing
The government has a history of wrong doings and coverups and if you lurk enough you probably would know this
Certain facts about those official stories don't necessarily add up and as such people formulate theories more or less to explain some of the discrepancies
How much of a dillusional faggot could you be to trust everything the government has to say

I agree, conspiracy theorists try too hard to try and simplify a situation down to the most basic and easy to understand rather than realizing that the world is inherently chaotic and complex and it isn't sexy and exciting like the theories they toss around. It's not that sexy and exciting to have the US admit they overthrew the Iranian government when it was all but proven already. But that's reality, that's life.
