Huguenot speaks the truth.

I think if conspiracy theories spring from inadequacy - a feeling that someone somewhere must be in charge or it would be altogether too scary - then their proponents must be the most enfeebled.


What's worse is that as feeble as these self-proclaimed messiahs are, they spread scare stories in an effort to drag the rest of the public down to a level of paralysed submission.


Hence far from performing a public service, conspiracy theorists are like Tolkien's Grima Wormtongue: manipulating, undermining and destroying people in order to gain power over them.


I imagine that fuels frustration like SMG's. The problem is that the degree of depraved manipulation from conspiracy theorists is so venal it often leaves other commentators aghast.

You really are a bit peculiar Easties EL.


Your measure of 'truth' now appears to be how violent a man becomes if you disagree with him. You like violence?


Does this go hand in hand with the messiah thing? You like to imagine yourself swinging a sword and saving the village whilst fair maidens fall at your feet? ;-)

Indeed, my mistake too. I didn't relise that life is full of BS. People dying in vain throughout history. Toture, rape, murder, humilation, war crimes etc. Reason is treason? No profit in peace? I guess if World War 3 happens our attitudes on life will be very different?

You cannot be an Army Navy Seal for goodness sake.


Naval Special Warfare Groups are by their nature a function of the United States Navy.


And he actually wasn't a SEAL either, he was an undewater demolition expert.



I am quite ambivalent about Jesse, he did great service when he creamed Elizabeth Hasselbeck on the idea of waterboarding being acceptable, then he comes out with the dumb Building 7 theory.


His complete digust at anything Dick Cheney tips the balance for me in his favour though.

Are you tending to agree with Herr Kissinger?

What makes you say that, or question if I am tending to agree with Herr Kissinger? LOL Are you agreeing with me or Herr Kissinger?


No am I not agreeing with him. I can't wait to discuss about global warming next week.:)-D


Right I'm off to watch Richard Keys and Andy Gray introduce to me a Sunday Football fest. A couple of Stellas in the fridge, feet up and hoping that world doesn't end, so I hopefully see West Ham United at least win the League Cup!

If any question why we died,

Tell them, because our fathers lied.

I think you've got problems if you can't see the difference between this truism, Easties EL, and the claim of a massive organised conspiracy between 9/11 and the New World Order.

    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
