Conspiracy theories are scurvy!
Published on May 26, 2004 By greywar In Current Events

      I have been hearing retarded rumors online running the gamut from the CIA killing Berg to "he was already dead!" (as though that would make any difference). I was never able to find enough gumption to get into it with these crackpots but the kind folks over at Intelwire have done it for me. The article is worthwhile not just for the debunking but also to expose you to some of the more virulent conpiracist hoopla out there. Knowing your enemy is half the battle.

The Body of the article is here.

By far the most amusing bit of the theories debunked there was this :

  • The white chair in the video is the same white chair in the Abu Ghraib prison photos.
  • Yes, they made sure to grab that chair and use it as a symbol to the Masons! These folks asshattery knows no bounds. I am sure Jihadfighter or WA would have an interesting and lengthy take on all of this.

    Next time we have to get Calangelo to be the cutter, if anyone knows how to commit a grisly execution, its him....

    pseudosoldier and greywar--You know that sarcasm and wit are often not fully understood around here....You two are going to be in some serious trouble! But thanks for the laugh!

    Greywar: Thanks for the link. The article was interesting, there was a lot of information that I didn't know. I haven't actually brought myself to watch the video, and I think I'm going to keep it that way. Oh yea, as for the white chair debate. When I was in the West Bank, they were everywhere...I betcha Iraqi stores sell them too!

    What got me was the director's commentary at the end of the whole thing. Why in God's name did the CIA include that?

    That was only supposed to be on the Special Edition DVD, which would be released months after we had sold out of the Regular Edition DVD, in conjunction with special showings in local theaters around the country as an oddly juxtaposed Double Feature with a Michael Moore film (we hadn't decided which). Of course, the popcorn would be laced with hallucinogenic butter, and the DVD would be coated in fluoride, a drug well-known for its facilitation of mind control (through the SOL, of course). It seems that our production crew, yetis from Atlantis living in Tibet, misinterpreted our instructions, although whether it was intentional or an unfortunate miscommunication, we will never know, as those responsible have been sacked.
    fnord.
    And I'm on my second Old Diet Dr. Crow, although that's fodder for another thread. (Head nod to Saiyan Robot for the big laff comment above. Consider yourself Insightful.)

    *envisions Vince slitting Robo-Jew's throat*
    *shivver*
    There's a guy on gate guard here (a civvie) who looks a bit like a shorter Vince, and his accent is pretty New York. Same skin color, same nose. Not as pretty, tho.
    oh. right. fnord.

    For just a moment I thought perhaps Saiyan robot *was* the Robo-Jew but when I checked his profile it doesn't seem to fit.

    Ooh. Good call, but yes, Saiyan Robot seems to care too much to be our favorite apathetic. I think RJ's only blog appearances are cameos on Chew-Toy's blog (usually saying how disgruntled he is).

    jeez this was a joint venture between the left and right? thats the kind of cooperation we so sorely lack these days.

    Remind me to tell you about my Theory of Circularity someday... we are neither Left nor Right, but are instead both. We're not even three-dimensional, bay-bee.
    fnord.
    And, hey, I'm having problems finding an actual news article that confirms his possession of an anti-semitic book (and a site for it). I think it's odd that the title would be in dispute as well... perhaps I'm just not well read enough.

    Many have commented on the fact that the video is "out of synch". Apparently is may be due to compression of the video according to this link which re-edits the video. Anyone know if this is possible. Caution the site is very graphic..
