    Pretty much agreed with most of you re: the conspiracies (Russ is eerily close to my train of thought on Kennedy and Area 51).

    JFK, MLK, and RFK: Yeah, I'd say there were lots of unanswered questions for all three. Those three were very threatening to the status quo in one form or another, and the fact that their assassinations came in somewhat quick succession is very telling. We'll likely never know the whole truth on any of 'em, though.

    Area 51: I'm sure that the US gov't has found something extraterrestrial and covered it up, but like Russ said, Area 51 is the very public decoy, diverting attention from the real unmarked places the military has throughout the country (Most of those secret bases are mainly for prototype/new weapons testing - Area 51 was where the Lockheed Have Blue program was conducted - this was the development of the prototype of the F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter).

    9/11: IMHO there was no conspiracy, apart the one from the 19 terrorists. No controlled explosions, etc. It happened like we all saw it. I'd read, however, that there were some red flags from some of the pilot training centers where the terrorists who piloted the planes attended in the US that were ignored by the various security agencies, but that's hindsight. Nobody really could have anticipated this happening, and it served as one hell of a wake-up call for everyone.

    Elvis: is out there, somewhere, fighting crime. With Bruce Lee. TCB.
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

            I have actually seen one very similar to the ones in the video fairly recently. I agree with Kingdom Warrior, they are used to line graves and designed to keep dirt from setting next to the coffin; effectively aiding in preservation of the body from insects. In addition, the liner keeps any body decay from seeping out of the coffin and into the surrounding soil.
            People in videos like this one taking simple items out of context is how conspiracy's theories get started in the first place.

            By the way, Marilyn Monroe works at the McDonalds down the street from me, but the years have not been kind to her.

                Conspiracy theories? Give me a break.

                I for one welcome our alien overlords. Hail Ming!
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  IMO and experience, the theories are as true as you let them be. I've seen real live human beings dedicated their lives and psyche to the misc. causes out there. The really scary fact is that some of these folks go too far and really start to believe to the poing that they really loose touch with reality. One of these day's I'll have to share the story of "John". I've met the guy, talked to the guy, read his manifesto and still have no idea what the hell he's talking abouot but he is still roaming the streets believing that "they" are controling him. It's kinda scary really.

                      The most intriguing conspiracy theory subject is "holocaust denial".

                      It's not so much the theory itself, but how it's handled by countries --- which in many countries in Europe it's illegal to believe the holocaust never happened.

                      You can actually be sent sent to jail if you claim the holocaust didn't happen.

                        I don't believe any of them. Too many shows have been either on History Channel or National Geographic that have shot most of these down.

                          That's probably because every European country was touched by the Holocaust and they probably feel that to claim it never happened has to be one of the most Criminally hateful things a person could dream up.

                              Thats a good point. Conspiracies DO exist - it's just that any of the ones involving an invisible all powerful group get pretty crazy to me.

                              Basically anything Alex Jones or David Icke related is silly to me.

                              I'm kinda skeptical about how this thread isn't going to get super heated and political. Folks have already raised a few hot-button issues. I hope it can keep going though. I love conspiracy theories - I'm just very skeptical about most of the popular ones.

                                While I think that holocaust denial is one of the most idiotic and morally repugnant conspiracy theories that exists I also strongly believe in free of speech. I'm sure this could evolve into a whole new debate on its own though.
