Sometimes I will sit around and watch conspiracy videos on YouTube, and I had this pop up in my recommended videos.

An educational song about chemtrails! It actually features the lyrics "I'm not crazy, I swear!"

Ha! I'm actually glad to find someone else admit to this.

This song is more catchy than I wish it was. I sure hope I'm enjoying it ironically. I bet the chemtrail pilots crank this in their cockpits during their evil chemtrail release flights. "I'm not crazy I swear!" and then they high five each other.

Not to get too distracted by this American hero, but have you looked him up at all? I found this: http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/GianlucaZanna

I guess it's your stereotypical crazy/patriotic American profile but I loved this:

quote:

June 25 2005 Baldwin Park California
I joined the Patriot group Save Our State to peacefully protest a taxpayer funded monument in Baldwin Park at the Metrolink Station declaring that California would once again be part of Mexico. We were about 40 patriots surrounded by over 800 pro violent illegal aliens. I was carrying my 2 roman shields and roman soldier helmet.

I believe it.

Is there any good book about all these really stupid conspiracy theories? From a rational point of view, obviously.

I've become interested in knowing more about how these people reason as an older acquaintance has recently become obsessed by this crap. He's gone from buying huge amounts of gold and silver (luckily, his computer illiteracy stopped him from buying any bitcoins), to watching every goddamn video on youtube about how the jews caused 9/11 and the Boston bombings were staged

That book is lots of fun.

If you ever decide you want crazy, this is for you:

And one day I'm going to experience the crazy that is a David Icke book but holy poo poo they are expensive.

You can probably be crazy in a lot of the same ways without the killer vagueness, and when you switch from aliens to Jew bankers you probably have to get rid of a lot of it.

Aliens are real, shut up, but why is every photo of a Jewish banker always so out-of-focus? Can't answer me that, can you.

Also, regards alt-Shbobdb, surely more people must read stuff like ATS just to experience the real crazy from time to time? It's fun.

Not that are you aren't exceptionally good at it, Shbobdb. I'm concerned when I know you're not serious yet you seem to make so much sense :stonklol:

This has been shared in several internet review threads. Its long but its an incredibly well researched debunking of the Left Behind franchise and its religious/cultural/political foundations and attendant conspiracy theory.

I remember seeing these books ages ago. This is an immensely entertaining video, the fact that the narrator clearly just has enough of the endless bullshit as he approaches the end actually becomes quite funny which is welcome relief from a depressing "People are not only (quite often willfully) misinterpreting like 90% of this stuff, but also inexplicably believe that any of this stuff is relevant to contemporary times" tone throughout, and then rewards us for not just collapsing, face in hands by providing snippets of of one of the oft-mentioned "pre-millienial dispensationalists" that start at 1:50:50.

THANK YOU SATAN
