[QUOTE=Larry Borgia] Wow. Holocaust denial, 9/11 conspiracy theory, anti-semitism and blood libel, crackpot AIDS theories, crackpot anthropology; it’s like all the stupid in the world fell into that website. No aliens, though. [/QUOTE] Ah, never mind my last post then. Glad I didn’t spend the time reading it. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Lemur866] Gotta disagree with you there Colibri. Most of the stuff on that site isn’t even wrong. Is it wrong to say something like, “Tuesday is actually orange, not green like the scientific consensus”? [/QUOTE] Perhaps you’re right. That site is in some dimension orthogonal to those where “rigth” and “wrong” have meaning. ---

It probably says something about the site that I didn’t even get through the first word. [/QUOTE] Oh, but it gets better. You have to read more. The links are priceless. I decided I wanted to know the “Untold Story” behind the Waco tragedy. I swear, the tinfoil hat brigade is more predictable than a bad murder mystery. For those of you who want to find out for yourselves, I’ll put it in spoiler tags. [spoiler]The CIA did it. Again. > [@](#): > > This mass murder was then to be covered up and made to look like a “mass suicide” – just like Jonestown – thereby layering one monstrous CIA lie upon another – since both Waco and Jonestown were CIA mass murders, and not mass suicides.

[QUOTE=Lord Ashtar] I’m sure **Spooky** takes this stuff very seriously. I’m also sure she’s confused as to why nobody believes her. [/QUOTE] Her only posts have been in this thread and the one she’s complaining about having been closed. In this thread in particular, it seems to me that she’s been tongue-in-cheek, but maybe it’s just that the only _real_ wacko I’ve been exposed to is **Lekatt**. I mean, maybe it came across as tongue-in-cheek to me because I just couldn’t believe she’s serious. Why do you believe she’s dead serious? ---

[QUOTE=Oy!] What I’m trying to figure is whether **Spooky** is truly stupid, trolling, or joking with us. Any ideas? [/QUOTE] Those are not mutually exclusive possibilities. In fact, since if \*\*Spooky \*\* is either trolling or joking she has not made a very good job at it, I would say the first one is virtually a given whether or not she believes any of it. ---

> [@Maureen](#): > > Oh, but it gets better. You have to read more. The links are priceless. I decided I wanted to know the “Untold Story” behind the Waco tragedy. I swear, the tinfoil hat brigade is more predictable than a bad murder mystery. I read through a few of the stories on that site and it is now bookmarked, I always like to have something entertaining to read on a slow afternoon. My favorite one so far is the True Story[sup]tm[/sup] behind the murder of Rasputin. The following is paraphrased to heighten the entertainment value: He was killed by a conspiricy of gay British Royals to prevent him from saving humanity from all the evil things that happened in the 20[sup]th[/sup] century. Naturally the Illuminaty didn’t want him preventing all of these things from happening since they need turmoil to control the world. I think the Rothchilds played into this somehow as well. Comedy gold. ---
