It's just that no one will believe you about the Koch brothers' influence over elections because they've also heard some rear end in a top hat tell them about the FDA trying to kill Americans with heroin pills. Yeah, it really makes me angry that someone else's bullshit conspiracy theory somehow negates all conspiracies. It's incredibly ignorant. chthonic bell posted:To be fair to the chemtrail people, a sentence I never thought I'd type, the US government did spray a few communities with chemicals, from the air, sometime in the 1950s, I believe. Honestly, I don't know what they're doing but I will sometimes sit outside and watch when the planes are spewing stuff, and, if they do it enough, it usually spreads out into cloud cover after about a half hour to an hour. I live in a desert with a decent sized farming community, and they usually do it on sunny days with very little clouds, so, I always assumed it had something to do with agriculture, like, not wanting to burn the gently caress out of the crops.

Definitely seconding Ivan Milat. I've lived in the area he hunted in since I was a kid and it is probably best described as fairly dull otherwise. What makes it even worse was that there was at least one victim who escaped and reported it to the local police .. Who promptly lost the file. Paul Onions ended up being the star witness in the case against Milat when he was finally caught years later. In an even creepier twist, Milat's great-nephew Matthew was recently charged with murder after luring another young guy out to Belanglo (where most of the bodies from the original backpacker murders were buried) and killed him with a double bladed axe. http://murderpedia.org/male.M/m/milat-matthew.htm

He's nuts with an occasional sideline into Protocols of Zion quoting and some early dabbling in holocaust denial but there's so much going on with him it's hard to sort through all the crap. It's a toss-up as to whether he's just using 'lizard overlords' as a codeword for 'jews' or he actually believes shapeshifting lizards (and a few dozen other alien species) are ruling the earth. Jon Ronson did a good article/documentary on him (some of which can be read here) which suggests he is actually a true believer and means every word he says, while some of the guys following him are more on the 'jewish conspiracy' side of things. Googling 'Icke nazi' brings up a whole bunch of white power websites claiming he's part of the conspiracy himself and is just trying to slander the good name of Nazis though.

The chemtrails talk reminds me of a recent incident in Illinois, where a crop duster sprayed fungicide over a corn field where a group of teenagers were detasseling the corn. http://www.stltoday.com/business/lo...16b58073ef.html I detasseled corn as a teenager, my friends detasseled corn - its a very common summer job for teenagers in the corn belt. Everyone sprayed came out of the situation alright, but the thought of being sprayed by chemicals while you work in an open field off nothing other than a dumb mistake is pretty scary.

Yeah the creepiness entirely comes from knowing he actually did it. I'm pretty sure half the boys in my school wrote crap like that when they were 15 and edgy; if I'd read it without context that's all I'd assume it was.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Hotel_(Los_Angeles) A Los Angeles hotel near skid row, the site of multiple suicides and murders, the residence of two serial killers. Not the type of place most people would want to stay at. Last year, after complaints of the water tasting funny, the naked corpse of a college student named Elisa Lam was found in the water supply tank. Hours before her presumed death, there's footage from the hotel's elevator of her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TjVBpyTeZM Either she was hallucinating somebody really was out to get her. snucks has a new favorite as of 08:09 on May 25, 2014 |

Years ago there was an article by a guy (student I think) who was reading through old medical journals and came across material from a CA doctor noting an outbreak of an unusual disease affecting the elderly. A lot of the resulting detective work helped draw attention to this stuff. Can't find the original but this on Serratia looks to hit the highlights. Going back to Masonic/Orders  content: Propaganda Duequote:Propaganda Due ... or P2, was a Masonic lodge operating under the jurisdiction of the Grand Orient of Italy from 1945 to 1976 (when its charter was withdrawn), and a pseudo-Masonic, "black", or "covert" lodge operating illegally (in contravention of Article 18 of the Constitution of Italy banning secret associations) from 1976 to 1981. During the years that the lodge was headed by Licio Gelli, P2 was implicated in numerous Italian crimes and mysteries, including the collapse of the Vatican-affiliated Banco Ambrosiano, the murders of journalist Mino Pecorelli and banker Roberto Calvi, and corruption cases within the nationwide bribe scandal Tangentopoli. P2 came to light through the investigations into the collapse of Michele Sindona's financial empire.[1]

Elisa Lam had bipolar depression and serious problems with insomnia - you can read her old tumblr, it kept auto-posting for a few months after she died. You can read about her last trip under the tags "Caliblah," including the fact that she a.) was planning to go to LA, despite the early reports that LA was not on her itinerary, and b.) missed a flight and had to spend the night in an airport not long before she died, which could possibly have triggered an episode. I spent a few hours a while back reading through her stuff. She seems like she was a sweet young woman who was fighting mental illness and finally lost.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the weird part.

The key thing to remember here is that their true creepiness peaked while their charter revoked, making them masonically, as stated, irregular and unrecognized. This, mind you, didn't help us at all when the media jumped all over it, but at least the Grand Orient of Italy did the right thing when they realized just what was going on.

The Jonestown massacre, from wikipediaWikipedia posted:"Jonestown" was the informal name for the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project formed by the Peoples Temple, an American religious organization under the leadership of Jim Jones, in northwestern Guyana. It became internationally notorious when on November 18, 1978, 918 people died in the settlement, at the nearby airstrip in Port Kaituma, and in Georgetown, Guyana's capital city. The name of the settlement became synonymous with the incidents at those locations. The really chilling part is the audio tape With Jones encouraging the mass suicide and the sound of children screaming in the background. The entire thing is eerie as gently caress but the famous part starts at around 35:40.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peoples_Temple_Cult_Death_Tape_Q042.ogg

The Chowchilla school bus kidnapping has always struck a chord with me. Basically, a school bus is en route to dropping the children off at their homes one afternoon. The driver sees a motorist in distress and stops to assist only to have the bus overtaken by three men wearing nylon stocking hats and waving guns. In a matter of minutes, the driver and 26 students (ranging from ages 5-14) find themselves as hostages. They are forced to board a van and taken on an 11 hour disorienting drive. They are then made to climb into a hole into the ground. After about 12 hours, and with no idea of when or if they would be freed, the captives began to look for any possible way to escape. They manage to climb out of their chamber and 36 hours after their capture, the driver and children are free. However, during the hours that their captives had been underground, their kidnappers had not been inactive. The next step of their plan was to demand a $5 million ransom. Unfortunately for them, they are soon greeted with the news that the hostages had safely escaped. The article goes more in depth as to their panic at this point and time because they had failed to plan for this particular scenario and investigations quickly zoom in on their men. I can't imagine being one of those school children heading home only to be confronted with scary men brandishing weapons. I can't imagine being the driver, responsible for the children under such duress. I can't imagine the terror of the parents wondering where their children have disappeared to. The whole thing is pretty damned unnerving. The article is worth a read as I've left out some fascinating details including, but not limited to, the driver being hypnotised for clues (he remembered their license plate!) to the bungled plans of the perpetrators who had set out to perform a "perfect crime" (as one of the defense lawyers later told The Chronicle, the trio's plan "would make a great...comedy because nothing went right.")
