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.


Rudyard Kipling, Epitaphs of the War


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.

      No they aren't. You're coming across as a smug, superior liberal, and that's what old fashioned voters (labour, Cons and now Reform) hate. That 'the deplorables' 'they're all ignorant racists' line is what's driving people away from the traditional parties and towards Reform.  You're as guilty of looking back as Labour. This is a new, post-europe world and we all need to come to terms with that, make do with what we have, and move forward.

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.

      Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.
