MIIKE, dunno how long you've been lurking, but thing is... I do a lot of dirt diggin myself, and not for the soft-kill, but hard evidence, courtroom quality stuff, right ?
What scares the piss out of me about crazies like PirateNews, Alex Jones, Jeff Rense and the like isn't the fact that I consider them both bonkers and a bit dim for taking what amounts to a whole bunch of individual, petty conspiracies by ambitious and greedy dickheads as one great, grand, all-encompassing conspiracy, nope.
Ain't even that they're short on facts, evidence, long on rumor and have a habit of drawing some strange conclusions or associations from what they do have, nope.
It's the fact that, on some of these topics, *I* have more info, of higher quality, than they do, but usually don't discuss it much because some of it is SO freakin woo-woo weird that it defies belief so strongly an automatic rejection of the "no such thing" concept kicks in no matter WHAT the qualify and significance of your info is, won't no one believe it cause they *can't* believe it, to even try would psychologically wreck them.
What scares me about the "Crazies" is in fact just how MUCH of the shit they go on about is indeed rooted in factual information, and while there's this perception of craziness against them, why is it that "mainstream" media, after feeding us endless blatant lies and pathetically obvious fictions, do not get this label in spite of their information being every bit as ridiculous and even less true ?
In the past couple years, the "Crazies" have been more accurate than the mainstream press.
And dude, THAT scares the shit out of me.
Besides, let's talk crazy for a moment, some of those "Conspiracy Theories" that folks were all so dismissive about as mere fiction, that turned out to be anything but.
Abuse in the Catholic Church.
Snuff Films.
Organ Harvesting/Smuggling.
Franklins "Finders" and Child Abduction/Abuse.
COINTELPRO.
All once dismissed out of hand as "conspiracy Theories" - now all proven fact with indisputable evidence, and as often as not outright admissions of guilt by the parties in question.
There's also folks PLAYING on that mental blind spot these days, child exploiters *deliberately* throwing in bogus satanic trappings, in order to provoke the "no such thing" mental reaction to any victim testimony to render it ineffective, which it does, even if they're caught in the act, even if said trappings are entered into evidence, the mental rigidity of the "no such thing" effect is such that by forcing a witness or victim on the stand and mocking them, it's a get out of jail free card for predators, guaranteed.
As you can imagine, I am pretty pissed about that.
Anyways, think twice, long and hard, before you dismiss the "Crazies" out of hand, they're crazy, sure, and fulla shit on many on occasion, just as the mainstream press is....
But sometimes....
They're telling you the truth.
And THAT, buddy, is what frightens me.

Really? Hummmm maybe your watching a deferent government funded new’s/opinion outlet than I am.
Off course the thing is whether something seams biased to somebody has as much to do with how much thay agree with it as anything else.

The news agencies aren't just bad or incompetent, they're plain corrupt.
Case in point: this last week was filled with enough McCain material to seriously damage his presidential hopes. Had Obama said any of these things, the MSM would've been playing it on a loop, but McCain's still getting a free ride.

Quote:You've seen the BBC offer it's opinion on the news rather than just reporting it? No I've never seen that, I can discern opinion from fact even when I agree with the opinion, so I'd expect to pick up on it at least part of the time, have you an example?

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Rusty "Rush" Limbaugh got another $400-million pay raise (in addition to his $270-million salary), and Shaun Vanity got another $250-million. So their "ad libbed" opinions are verbatim direct orders from the White House talking point checklist. Fox has been owned by Communist china since 1999, when Rupert Murdoch married Deng Wen Di, aka Wendi Deng.
Lou Dobbs is having a stroke every day on the illegal alien invasion and outsourcing US jobs, but he tows the party line on most everything else.
MSNBC and CSPAN are banned in Knoxville TN by Comcast ATT, so I don't know what they do anymore. Except Olbermann calls Bush a fascist Nazi, so I've heard. But that's just reporting a fact.

Hanoi Hannity: "I voted for the Sino-American Alliance."
"US ports owned by Commie China is good for me."
"Dead and disabled US soldiers are good for me."
"Outsourcing your job is very good for me."
"Sir Rupert dines with Hillary every week."
"Ron Paul does not exist in my 'Verse."
"Vote for Billary not McCain."
"As far as Chinese goes, I resented it."

Your love of BBC is nothing different than somebody else's love here for FOX news. That's what speaks to you. If that's the truth you believe, who am I to tell you otherwise.
Personally, I prefer the Spanish news outlets. Damn those girls are FINE... I just wish I understood what they were saying. I'd probably believe all of it while staring into the massive cleavage they ALWAYS show off....
Oh... and I found Melissa while I was looking for a sample of what I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure I'd buy all French news she was delivering too.
Funny how time passes differently depending on what it is you're doing. I could work a 12 hour shift that feels like two days, yet I could get lost in her eyes for hours and they'd pass like seconds.
I don't know what she's saying here, but whatever it is, it sounds like the absolute truth to me.

yeah i know you cant lump all the theories into one doing so gives the mainsteam media a way of dissmissing facts which are publically available.i mean when there are valid questions about a topic say the public being moniterd by gouvernment the mainsteam news usually gets a wacko in like david icke in to talk about it thus diminishing the plausability of the original stories. this i believe is the way that information is controlled by letting people have the info but only letting the most intellectually deviod source's publically presenting the facts which are then usally bent in such a way to promote thus sources bias. i personally find alex jones a very frightening individual with his talk of war against the gouvernment but i also find fox news eqaully scary with its bending of facts and sometimes total lies
im just going out,i may be some time

I know man. I don't know if it paints a legit picture of what life is like in Mexico but I think it begs two serious questions....
Why the hell haven't I immigrated to Mexico yet?
AND
Why the hell are all the Mexicans coming up here?
