Rencall posted:What sucks is let's say hypothetically there was a conspiracy. False flag operations are not outside the spectrum of a corrupt government, ie Operation Northwoods. What if Rumsfeld and friends were briefed about 9/11, but did nothing to stop it because they needed a reason to attack Iraq? I suspect people that latch onto the conspiracy theories do so exactly because they feel they can "know" they are true. If you watch a video of 9/11 and feel that it must be a remote control plane, then you pride yourself on how smart you are. If you watch "Loose Change" you can think about all those dumb idiots that didn't realize that it was really a missile that hit the Pentagon. If you believe it was a thermite charge that took down WTC 7 you can feel contented in your sound knowledge of engineering versus the those other sheeple. Conspiracy theories of the kind you're talking about aren't verifiable in the same way and don't let you feel superior. You can suspect Bush allowed 9/11 to happen but you can't really feel content about how much smarter you are then anyone else. The JFK assassination works the same way. Oswald after all had contact with a ton of different groups including the CIA and KGB, yet theories rarely revolve around his motives. Instead most JFK assassination theories are about how smart the person explaining the theory is for "knowing" that Oswald could never have made those shots.

Great Metal Jesus posted:Well holy poo poo, they were marginally less crazy than I thought. While Alex Jones is nuts there is a grain of truth to the Bohemian Grove stories. Not in the sense that it's full of illuminati lizard men but for a time at least it was major meeting ground for Republican leaders, particularly those in California. Herbert Hoover invited Richard Nixon to the Grove when Nixon was a young Congressman, which ensured Nixon's rapid rise through the Republican party. Nixon also publicly said that a 1967 speech he gave at the Groove was the most satisfying and important of his career. It's kind of like Skull and Bones and Bilderberg, it's an organization that networks powerful people including national and world leaders. Because that's the obvious purpose of the organization though there really isn't any "conspiracy" to it.

Are there any good Tolstoy related conspiracy theories? He wrote a bunch about Free Masons in "War and Peace," there has to be something out there on that right? If people go full on crazy about "The Shining" I hope they can at least bother to go nuts about classic literature too.
