I thought you had to be baptized Catholic, but I see it’s baptized Christian. The Catholic bit was Spain wanted a converted group out of the country which was Catholic ruled at the time. I won’t encourage a further hijack, by speaking further on it.
ISTR reading that around 1890 or so, there was a rash of sightings of unexplained airships in the sky, airships with incredible speed and manoeuvrability…
One classic nutjob topic of conversation: "I’m really Napoleon!
I was going to say “Anyone not us”, but then I thought about it and realized that even our closest associates are whispered about. So I’ll go with “Anyone not ME”. The more disparate the group or person in inverse proportion to their proximity, the more they are feared, slandered and suspected.
Before there were UFO sightings, there were apparitions of the Virgin Mary. People used to be possessed by Satan a lot more often than they are today, too.
Several decades ago, the Ku Klux Klan was a really big thing around here. They’re a secret society built on hate. Among other folks, they hate Catholics. One of the “facts” in the Klan lore was that when a Catholic child is born, the father buries a rifle in the back yard, to be dug up and used when the Pope orders his flock to take over. :rolleyes:
Don’t forget the Illuminati! Besides Jews poisoning drinking wells & slaughtering Christian children for their blood to make Matza, :eek: the favorite ‘our-lives-suck-so-let’s-find-someone-to-blame-for-our-own-shortcomings’ target was the Illuminati, a supposed cabal of internationally connected fifth-columnists working to destabilize the universe & cause chaos. Today the Illuminati-hunters’s descendants have the benefit of the internet, and their soapboxes have morphed into webpages, to blame Israel for the oil crisis (and all the other world problems, I guess), spread the ‘real’ story of 9/11, and earnestly explain how the British royal family murdered Princess Diana. Everything old is new again. :rolleyes:
Because the Magna Carta was improperly ratified, the King has no authority to levy taxes on commoners! Write your local shire-reeve (or have a scribe, if you are illiterate) and demand to know the source of his authority to collect taxes from you!
Not only that, but the modern CT’s have come up with some doozies that would have made even our forebears who diligently read The Procotols sit up and say, “What the hell?”
Like the theory that the royal family of the United Kingdom and the past forty years worth of US Presidents are really bipedal intelligent shapeshifting lizard aliens from Alpha Draconis…
My shire-reeve has a yellow border touching the white background on his coat-of-arms. Every one knows this is illegal under the rules of heraldry. So it follows that if his coat-of-arms is invalid, his title must be invalid and he has no authority to enforce the King’s laws!
LMAO!
Think Icke watched ‘V’, that NBC miniseries?
Oh well, at least they don’t blame it all on global warming…yet.
…oh and Jim Morrison, of course - ‘I am the Lizard King’
I don’t know…I remember reading a science fiction short story about the CEOs of massively polluting corporations actually being aliens from a planet with a caustic atmosphere who are “terraforming” our world for their invasion…
Back in the fifties it was fluoride in our drinking water.
Also the slightest bit of unusual weather was blamed on atomic bomb testing.
80s - cattle mutilations from the government black helicopters, AIDS being created in a government lab to wipe out black people (revived by that loony Obama pastor), MRIs ‘destabilize’ metabolism.
90’s - subliminal messages in music cds, Viagra is really a mind-control hallucinogenic (the government, again), Oklahoma city bombing (yet another government plot) , and of course Year2000 will be the end of the world.
00’s (or whatever this decade is) - 9/11 was a project of the government/Mossad/One World Order, food poisoning outbreaks are really government tests of bio-warfare, ‘proof’ of life on Mars, and - manmade global warming.
Perhaps all of your conspiracy theories should actually be conspiracy theories.
Perhaps there’s actual scientific proof that it’s manmade, and not a normal cyclical variation -

I’m sorry…the position of Anti-Scientific Anthropogenic Global Cimate Change Denier is already filled for this facility. Perhaps you should put in your resume elsewhere?
