Yea but those seem to have died off in the last couple of years. Or maybe its just that I don't pay them any attention anymore.

For a second, I thought that GR was serious, which baffled me.

I think the guys who made this film learned their skills from films like "Loose Change" - same methodology: fishy sources, bad editing and fact twisting ...

I am somehow relieved that you still have your sanity - of course relatively spoken

Has anybody seen "Obama The Great Deception"?

Don't get me wrong I am no fan of our President but releasing a "film" one month after he gets into office and making all the claims the guy was making is, well down right hilarious.

On some level I understand why the 9/11 troofers believe what they do. They're complete lunatics, don't get me wrong, but I can at least sort of follow the thought process.

9/11 was such a huge event...a tragedy on an enormous scale. Nothing could have prepared someone for that. It was such a random event with such malice behind it as to be mind boggling. Now the human mind naturally seeks order. The 9/11 troofers have decided to believe that 9/11 had to be a planned and scripted event. Their mind recoils in horror at the thought that it was well and truly random. They have to believe that the Bush administration planned it. Of course that makes the Bush administration treasonous and evil, but in their mind there's at least some measure of control and order in the universe and that's all that counts.

That's just my amateur psychologist theory anyways.

And not a bad theory either, but the fact is that 9/11 was indeed planned and scripted, just not by the people the troofers think did it.

I think it comes after any type of major event in History, look at all the JFK conspiracies.

There is just some part of the human mind that just tries to make sense out of something senseless. Its hard to accept that everything we have is fragile and could be easily taken away on the whim of madmen.

Was the same with the Pearl Harbor conspiracy theories which starting cropping up almost as soon as the Japanese planes departed. Given the racial climate of the time, there were some who were far more comfortable with the idea that warnings were deliberately ignored from on high and the attack was allowed to proceed by FDR, than with the idea that a "diminutive, imitative people who lived in ramshackle paper cities" had caught the US Navy napping in it's biggest Pacific base.

The FDR conspiracy theory goes back that far? I would have thought folks of the time would have an easier time believing in a Japanese 5th column.
