Bruce Willis says JFK killers still in power

Conspiracy theorists are hilarious.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think we should always be skeptical of those in power.

It's obvious that something funky happened around the JFK thing, there wouldn't be so many questions otherwise.

But to believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, the illuminanti, etc.. requires a gross non-understanding of the way the world actually works. It's laughable. To believe some of that nonsense is to believe that researchers and scientists all across the globe are in on the conspiracy. Where do you draw the line? :laugh: It's the same thing with young-earth theory believers.

Our country is only 250 years old. It's all very trackable, it's all recorded. Anything important anyway. It's not a mystery who is in power. I don't know about you, but the government certainly doesn't control my mind. They don't control anybody else's either. Intelligent people can figure things out on their own.

No offense, but it is my experience that conspiracy theorists are generally uneducated social dropouts that need conspiracies to make life "exciting". I bet you're a huge Coast to Coast fan. :laugh:

You believe the Warren Commission. Nuff said. The next time you watch one of his movies, just know you'll be supporting a conspiracy theorist 🙂

You subscribe to not one, not two, not three, but MANY conspiracy theories. Enough said.

so you are saying all in the US government are on the up and up? We didn't have any ENRON situation either I suppose too. Everyone always is honest and not looking for self-profit but the profit of the whole nation.

 
Talking on this types of things on ATOT is even worse than asking for GF or weightlifting advice.

Most people really think they understand what has gone on and how things are run, but in reality they have only read the biased sources. To truly know something you need to get to the history of it...see what the majority were reporting on day 1.

Believe it or not those same news shows that bring you news 24/7 are also owned by someone who as a human is not an unbiased and always fair creature.

There is plenty that the general public doesn't know about, and plenty that gets out but t he media buries in Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith stories. I'd consider the Bush administration's discussions of suspension of habeas corpus rights to be conspiracythat has been revealed-- but you probably never heard anything about that except for Rosie O'Donnell's sound bytes. What about the no bid contracts for rebuilding Iraq? Haliburton? All you will hear is some old hippies whining about the evil Haliburton, despite the fact that it's well known what goes on between politicians and their friends.

It also could be said in counterpoint.

If 'conspiracy theories' were so widely known and understood then they would no longer be just a theory.

All this crap started way before the US. Go back to the beginning; when the nations were created and banks were formed. Those that did not get overthrown have continued to have influence and control over the rest of the world.

Just like in any small arena, the 1-5% with all the money can usually capture the show and run with their own agenda no matter how out 'voted' they are because they can do it privately.

It scales up as well. The whole Bill Gates is the richest man in the world is a total farce as well, there are so many family fortunes that simply are not reported.

People are a bit naive if they think everything that is done 'for us' everyday is really about 'us'.

not only that, people just don't want to hear the truth...it upsets their Starbuck's Cafe Latte Grande SUV driving soccor mom ways. The messenger is always looked at as the quack.

People have fallen into such that looks, appearance and entertainment of something far outweighs any other worth it may have.

The true problem with conspiracies theories is that the theorists are not actually skeptical of those in power, but have tremendous faith in them -- in their intelligence, ability, and villainy -- to an extent that is quite simply comical. It's almost like the CT'ers intentionally seek to discredit themselves.

Consider:
Oswald may not have acted alone, but the CT'ers have to have us believe in complicated theories involving multiple shooters, the CIA, government doctors controlling the autopsy, with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people involved. Yet no one has ever come forth in all this time. Not too long from now, everyone involved will be dead, and not one of them made a book deal?
Area 51 was an air force testing ground for top-secret planes, like the U-2 and SR-71, used to spy on the Russians before the advent of spy satellites. Afterwards, the military used it for toxic waste disposal, and 7 workers got bizarre cancers and died. Yet CT'ers tell us there must have been aliens there. And why? Because as suits were being filed by those victims against the government in 1989, a guy named Bob Lazar got on Las Vegas TV and told everyone he used to work on flying saucers down at Area 51. In the meantime, Area 51 is exempt from environmental regulation to this day.
Why couldn't one man kill the President on his own? No one ever questions that Hinckley acted alone when he nearly killed Reagan. Why? Because he failed?
The WTC towers were brought down airplanes traveling almost the speed of sound and fully loaded with tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel. GW Bush might have been behind this. Who knows? Maybe he funded Osama from the start. But only, the CT'ers tell us, if instead of these planes, the buildings were brought down with explosives in a fashion that would have been the largest and most elaborate building implosion in the history of demolition.

You see how this works? The CT'ers are tools of disinformation for the propaganda machine. In a way, they're just as much a distraction as Paris and Anna Nichole. The public could discuss these issues seriously, perhaps even address them dead-on, but not with these sheep bleeting so loudly about ridiculous nonsense.
