I had a look for threads discussing this, and could find much, so here goes. There are many odd things about the Nick Berg video. Enough that I have real trouble with the official version of what happpened. This is not the most impartial [site](http://topplerummy.org/berg/) but it has a good list, and many of the items are fairly easy to verify. So, what is up? Who did kill Berg? Why aren’t more people wondering about this? ---

Goddamn, dude, you’re a member, you have search. Berg threads are everywhere. Try typing in “Berg” or “video”, for example. ---

Wow! It was all staged! It was really the fault of \* Americans \* after all! Say, did you know that New York Jews got a secret advance warning to stay awayf from the World Trade Center on 9/11? That’s right! The WTC disaster was really the work of the CIA and the Mossad! And you know what else? The moon landing was a hoax! Stanley Kubrick filmed all that the “moon landing” footing for NASA in a secret sound stage in the Arizona desert. And what’s more, there is no Nebraska. Nebraska was just a propaganda ploy cooked up during the secret war between Manitoba and Kansas. I mean, stop and think about it. Have you ever been to Nebraska? Have you ever met anybody from Nebraska? Your tin foil cap needs adjusting, bub. ---

> [@LonesomePolecat](#): > > Have you ever been to Nebraska? Have you ever met anybody from Nebraska? I once shared a bus ride with someone who claimed to be from Nebraska. Such a nice fellow! I just had to share my e-mail password with him. ---

It’s truly astounding how the same people who call virtually everything an urban myth are so quick to believe in a vast right wing conspiracy.
