Tinfoil Hats?
Good people of b3ta. Please please don't fall into the NWO's trap of using tinfoil!

All it does is amplify the mind control signals that THEY are sending out into our brains.

For true protection, cover your head in marmite and wrap some grease proof paper round your head.

THAT'LL TEACH THEM!!!!

Kauppila was fired by director Pete Nanos on Sept. 23, 2004 following a security scandal. Kauppila said he was fired because he did not immediately return from a family vacation during a lab investigation into two classified computer disks that were thought to be missing. The apparent security breach forced Nanos to shut down the lab for several weeks. Kauppila claimed he was made a scapegoat over the disks, which investigators concluded never existed. The mistake was blamed on a clerical error. After he was fired, Kauppila accepted a job as a contractor at Bechtel Nevada Corp., a research company that works with Los Alamos and other national laboratories. He was also working on a new Scatter Reduction Grids in Megavolt Radiography focused on metal plates or crossed grids to act to stop the scattered radiation while allowing the unscattered or direct rays to pass through with other scientists: Scott Watson (LANL, DX-3), Chuck Lebeda (LANL, XTA), Alan Tubb (LANL, DX-8), and Mike Appleby (Tecomet Thermo Electron Corp.)

#72: Darwin Kenneth Vest, born April 22, 1951, was an internationally renowned entomologist, expert on hobo spiders and other poisonous spiders and snakes. Darwin disappeared in the early morning hours of June 3, 1999 while walking in downtown Idaho Falls, Idaho (USA). The family believes foul play was involved in his disappearance. A celebration of Darwin's life was held in Idaho Falls and Moscow on the one-year anniversary of his disappearance. The services included displays of Darwin's work and thank you letters from school children and teachers. Memories of Darwin were shared by at least a dozen speakers from around the world and concluded with the placing of roses and a memorial wreath in the Snake River. A candlelight vigil was also held that evening on the banks of the Snake River.

Darwin was declared legally dead the first week of March 2004 and now the family is in the process of obtaining restraining orders against several companies who saw fit to use his name and photos without permission. His brother David is legal conservator of the estate and his sister Rebecca is handling issues related to Eagle Rock Research and ongoing research projects.

The Berkshire UFO conspiracy
I had a pal who was utterly convinced that not only were UFOs real, but they were attempting to contact him through his dreams with news of a great universal brotherhood, or other such rubbish.

That, my friends, is what you get if you read too much.

I was also a geek and a nerd and had no truck with this UFO nonsense and decided to prove to him that he was talking rubbish.

I cut out a saucer-shape from a cereal packet, stuck it onto a window with blu-tac and photographed it through the net curtains.

Uber-geek that I was, I scuttled off to the school dark-room and deliberately over-exposed the prints. Result: Convincing-looking UFO pics that I knew to be fake.

The next day, I presented them to Gaz, and to say he was mightily impressed was an understatement. He questioned me at length over how I came to take these pics, and I held on to my lie quite convincingly, even going as far as allowing him to take them home "for further investigation".

This is how, I presume, they ended up in the following day's edition of the Evening Post, with a shrieking headline about UFOs over Berkshire, and how Gaz came to be fifty quid better off as a result.

It's a bloody conspiracy, I tell you.

H From Steps
I always had a theory that H sang every part of the songs released by Steps. All singing the different harmonies and octaves.

He was a talented boy who could sing the entire range.. sometimes sounding like a girl when he did it. But the industry couldn't just let him sing. He'd be a laughing stock. The record company thought people wouldn't like it.

So, they got three girls and another boy to stand around. They called this group "Steps", and it explains why Steps mimed all their concerts.

But then, Steps split up. Again, they want to make money.. but the company feels that the world can't handle H singing like a girl again.. so they got Claire from the old band to stand next to him and mime again. Thus, "H and Claire".

You may point out any holes in this theory. You will find there are none.

Slightly off topic but -
I have to deal with conspiracy theorists everyday, ranging from 9/11, Illuminati, The Federal Reserve, Obama, A4V, Big Oil, Big Media, Big Pharma, big tobacco big orange juice etc.

A Few Incoherent rambling points:

1) Most conspiritards use the 'wake up sheeple' 'ignorant bliss' 'blind to the truth' etc, after you disagree with a poorly written webpage with no evidence that just doesn't make sense. The hilarious thing is most of these tools sucker down everything anyone like alex jones / any other random webpage yet claim that anything that doesn't agree with them is been forced down your throat by the government and mass media - Hypocrites.

2) I love debating but you can't get through to these people, blindly ignorant to facts that they don't want to believe

3) The whole 'Use our previous unproved points as evidence in new ones'

4) Surely the burdon of proof is on whoever is challenging a claim? example, If I don't agree with something, its up to me to challenge it rather than saying 'I say its fucked, you prove that its not and until then its true'

Edit: Could've worded that better ^, I meant the onus is on the conspiracy people to prove

5) Alex jones is a tool, but hes a very very clever one. Disable adblock on infowars and cry about how you didnt think of this idea before: 47 adverts / referall links on one site. and check out the advertisements page

" Forms of advertising we offer:

I don't really believe in conspiracies, but sometimes you have to wonder...
Not a personal nutter I know, but has anyone else here seen the murals and the like from Denver International Airport? You have to wonder if there's someone in power who just really, really, really likes winding conspiracists up.


First off, there's the general layout of the runways/buildings, which are... kind of... erm... remind you of anything from the late 1930s/early 1940s?




There's the time capsule, buried under a stone with a masonic symbol on.




Then there are the four walls of the mural. I'm going to use Anamolies Unlimited's names for the walls below, the official description of the whole mural is "Children of the world dream of peace in "Peace and Harmony with Nature"". Heartily recommend you go to the site and read the rest they have on this. I've re-hosted the pictures so as not to leach off them, but there are a lot of more detailed pictures on their site. Bear in mind these are in the middle of an airport, especially the second one.


The Dead Women In Coffins Mural
Three dead women, a burning city, devastation, etc.



The Dead Babies and General Skeletor Mural
'Slightly' Nazi looking stormtrooper, destroyed church, women holding dead babies, etc. Oh, and a poem written by a child who died at Aushwitz in the bottom right. This one and the fourth one have been painted over now, but all the Denver Airport stuff describes the remaining two as a 'diptych'.



Happy Happy Joy Joy
German kid with a huge arm smashing up guns into plowshares. Asian kid is the only one facing away.



Jesus and the Holy Thingamabob
'Jesus', someone in 'concentration camp' uniform, weird things under the earth, leopards with human faces, deformed people, asians facing the wrong way, etc, etc.






You can read the full bit about the airport here. Including stuff about the hidden budget overspend, the underground base, the tunnels big enough for trucks underneath, the massive over-size fuel storage, capacity three times what is used, the sonics that play havoc with people, underground buildings that were sealed up as they were 'built wrong', the way it replaced an airport with more gates and runways in a less windy area, that they shifted a 1/3 of the volume of earth shifted in the construction of the Panama Canal, etc, etc. It's pretty much a balance between how much you believe government incompetence/pork, and how much you believe conspiracy theories.

Bloke I used to work with
He was a stereotypical conspiracy theorist (it's a conspiracy that they're all as loopy as each other). He used to believe everything he read on teh internet, about all those bizarre conspiracies (and even sent me a 60-page document outlining them), but wouldn't believe a single word anybody told him about fact-related subjects. Also, he was a religious nut who thought there was no evidence to support evolution, and picked his nose (and ate the resulting nasal debris).

So to summarise, conspiracy theorists are in collusion with each other, and have their own secret club called "the church".

In my line of work, you can encounter a lot of conspiracy theorists who think nothing of ruining my evening and causing my arteries to clang shut by invoking the classic…

“But hasn’t the Pharmaceutical Industry got cures for pretty much all diseases these days; they just choose to suppress them as they make more money from people being sick. That’s why they’re so against alternative medicine; it can cure people cheaply and cut into their massive profits.”

…gambit.

To which my short answer is,

“No.”

My long answer is, however;

No. It takes on average $900 million to develop a single drug. Think about it. $900 million. That’s an amount of money that even Bill Gates would have trouble finding down the back of the sofa on a regular basis. Of the drugs that get out of pre-clinical testing, 70% will fail at Phase 1 trial stage. One of the reasons that drug discovery is so expensive is that (apart from the fact that it’s difficult), the pharmaceutical industry is so heavily regulated.

Now I’m not defending Big Pharma. Far from it. Frankly, they’re a bunch of cunts. Their price fixing and handling of off-patent drugs in the 3rd world is criminal, they aren’t always transparent with their methods and data and when they fuck up, people die. But they exist to make money and if, for example, 1 in 3 people in the Western world will get cancer in their lifetime do you not think that they would exploit a cure, any cure and have us over a barrel to make money from it? Not to mention the kudos, the plaudits, the Nobel Prizes that any scientist would receive if they managed to cure the potentially incurable? The idea that they would regularly piss away close to a billion dollars while sitting on possibly one of the most lucrative ideas of all time is laughable. The there's the sheer number of people, in the thousands, they would have to pay to slap gagging orders on.

Furthermore, the failings of Big Pharma do not in any way vindicate the tofu weaving approaches of untested, unproven and unregulated alternative treatments. Of course they’re going to appear cheaper, they don’t have to be rigorously tested, they can get around all current licensing because they’re NOT MEDICINE.

And if I have to listen once more to some patchouli oil wearing twig muncher bleat on about harmful chemicals or ancient Chinese meridians or the memory of water, whilst ignoring the 50 billion dollars that the spurious nutritional supplement industry generates each year then I’m going to take my copy of Ben Goldacre’s Bad Science and ram it in their gaping maw. Then let’s see how well reiki works in getting their circulation going again, shall we?

I’m lucky enough to live in a country that gives me a choice; I have free healthcare (no matter how much it needs an over haul); I can buy all manner of magic sugar pills to help me convince myself I feel better. I can even listen to a pinched faced harridan with a degree in Unicorn Science from the University of Fabricationsville tell me that eating pine cones will help me live till I’m 205, but the second this type of magical thinking extends to using people in the 3rd world suffering from HIV, TB and malaria as guinea pigs for their Fisher Price “my first alternative therapist” play set, then, as you may be able to tell, I get angry.

Ideally I’d like to see the Pfizers and GlaxosmithKlines of this world act like they have a social responsibility. It’s unlikely to happen. But what I’d really like is for those well meaning, but ultimately deluded individuals who would have us all back in the Dark Ages to shut the fuck up, or get a fucking science degree. And leave me the hell alone when I’m trying to kick back and have a beer.

BERLIN, PIMP OTTERS, AND JEFF'S WEIRD PLANE THING
One time a bloke I used to work with and I had to fly out to Berlin for a spot of tidy-up work after a business deal went a bit poo. The shit had not only metaphorically hit the fan, but had also covered the ceiling and floor, the table the fan was on, the wall behind the fan, and the small trembling orphan child who had just (metaphorically speaking again) switched the fan on. And working for a company that wasn’t into orphan skat encounters of any kind, the two of us were sent over to, metaphorically, suck some German cock (though after a few Jagermeisters this may actually have become a very distinct real posibility) and make all the badness go away.

He was a very normal bloke, Jeff. From Harrow. Nice fella. That was until we got onto the 737.

That’s when Jeff turned round and said, very calmly, “Dunno how I’m gonna do this – I need to stay awake through the flight and I’m knackered.” It was a very early flight, we’d both been up since 3am and I for one was planning on getting a little snooze in before we touched down in the land of punctuality, good saloon cars, and excellent woman-on-woman porn. I asked Jeff why he had to stay awake, I advised him I was going to get a bit of shut eye and he should do the same. Then Jeff said, without batting an eyelid: “If I fall asleep we’ll crash.” My first response was to say: are you shitting me? But instead I raised my eyebrows very slightly, as if beckoning Jeff to expand on his rather peculiar statement, and he did: “I’ve never ever slept on a plane. But I know, I just KNOW that if I do sleep, if I’m not concentrating on the plane not falling out of the sky, we’ll crash...”

“Jeff, that’s... I mean... How... Are you shitting me???”

Then Jeff qualified his statement with some pure logic, something that I really had no argument for: “All the times I’ve flown I’ve kept awake. Always,” and then came the clincher. “And not once have I crashed.” He even sat back with a smug little grin on his face. I was tired and a little bit scared – Jeff, who seemed so normal, was actually a bit of a fucking lunatic. So I waited until we were in the air and then had a bit of a snooze. Everyone else on the flight who wasn’t mental was doing the same. Which left Jeff who sat there bolt upright trying to keep his eyes open.

The flight went quiet as the assembled contents of the cabin had a bit of kip. Its always nice sleeping on public transport, I find. Well, its always nice to sleep with a load of strangers. After twenty minutes or so enjoying a lovely dream about talking pimp otters who found a packet of McVities chocolate biscuits the size of a bus, and the naked otter queen who was actually my old Humanities teacher who wanted to give me a giant chocolate biscuit in return for jangling my love spuds, I was awoken by: “AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!” Or words to that effect. Jeff, it turns out, had momentarily nodded off only to shock himself back into the world of the living with this cheery little quip.

The whole flight collectively shat itself. Then the whole flight grumbled and decided it probably wasn’t a good idea to try and sleep. There was the occasional but very audible: “Wanker,” in a Geordie accent from further behind us as the hubub of annoied talking ebbed and flowed and bounced off the cabin walls.

As I waited for the drinks trolly so I could order a cup of steaming hot mud (also known as Ryanair coffee) in an attempt to wake up properly, I felt an insistent tap on my shoulder. I turned to Jeff, who had a great big stupid shit-eating grin on his face: “That was fucking close wasn’t it?” He said.

Wanker, I thought...

Hills and sleeping- policemen
Ex-girlfriend and I walk up a big hill in Wales and find a dead lotherio policeman who'd investigated rendition flights...

The wonderful world of the internet proclaims us part of some global conspiracy, CIA agents and many other wonderful things...

Reality proclaims us crappy and fairly easily lost wanderers stupid enough to walk up a hill in freezing cold weather and who call the police because we found a bag and some booze at the top of a hill...

(I'd have left it all and come back down...)

In reality bloody police made us wait up the hill for hours for them to come and get the guy...

Internet claims we were flown out in a blaze of glory and taken away by a bunch of men in black glasses and suits...

Reality states we were taken to a cubs hut by a bunch of policemen from Wales who flirted with my ex and told me I was an idiot for walking up the hill...

a few reasons why the internet and conspiracy theories are better than my reality... (I want to be a part of a conspiracy able to assasinate and be flown around by the men in black... sadly reality is dictating otherwise...)

Curse you reality...

Long time hanger around... first time I had anything to say...

*edit - one last thing* also glad newspapers were distracted by my ex and therefore only put her names in the paper whilst I hid and smoked cigarettes... therefore hiding myself from the world of conspiracy theorists... the reality of dealing with them probably wouldn't be so much fun as I am yet to get the black glasses, flights and ability to kill with impunity. darn

The Man with the Names
He has a little caravan that he sets up in the Ironmarket, selling batteries, fixing watch straps, and so on. I'd heard the stories - stories about how he'd come to the UK as a child having survived the death-camps; about how he was actually a chartered accountant; about how he was, frankly, dangerous; about how he was a bit touché; and about how he had an extraordinary name. The last of these I know to be true, and it leads me to believe the next-to-last.

I was sitting in the waiting-room to see the doctor when he walked in.
He asked to make an appointment. The receptionist asked him if he was registered there. He said he was.
"What's the name, please?"
He gave a pretty normal name. Not English, but normal.
The receptionist had a quick look. "There's nothing coming up here under that name..."
"Ah, yes," he said. "I'm sorry. I forgot to say: I changed my name by deed poll, so it might be that your records have my other name. I wasn't sure whether I'd updated everything..."

The receptionist gave him a get-on-with-it look. "So what's the name I should be looking for?"
"Yes. Well, the surname is Staffordshirepolicecorruption. The first name is Campaigntoexpose."

See? The last rumour seems to be true, and it lends credence to the one before it.

Y2K?
Just a conspiracy theory innit!

Like many others of the day, I was busy not partying when it was New Years Eve 1999.

An entire army of us, IT contractors from all over the world and our local counterparts, were sweating bullets as the seconds ticked by. All of us hoping, crossing fingers, turning blue, and willing to offer our souls to any kindly passing deity with a single prayer "Please please please ... don't fail!"

We had double/triple/quadruple checked everything. We had broken our brains with all the possible permutations of what might possibly go wrong. And no one was absolutely sure that nothing would go wrong.

The potential for UTTER DISASTER was HUGE! But thanks to the efforts of said IT army, it passed off rather well really.

So a few weeks later, I'm sitting on a bus when some stupid mouth breathing chav starts loudly declaring the whole thing was a massive conspiracy theory and a bloody huge waste of tax payers money.

I could've decked him. In fact Common Sense barely prevailed over the fact that I was only half his size. Eejit.

Mike Corley
From ED: 'As described in his website, Corley believes that the British internal security service, MI5, has a bullying campaign against him as a psychological experiment. He believes that this is mainly conducted through the British TV and radio media in which any use of the word 'mad' or similar is a direct reference to him. He has offered a £20,000 sterling reward for information directly leading to exposing what he calls the "BBC Newscaster Conspiracy", that BBC newscasters are able to watch him via a hidden camera in his TV set. He also believes that his office, home and friends' homes are bugged. Corley freely admits to having suffered from paranoia and having been treated for mental illness, but he therefore considers that he is best placed to know what madness feels like and is confident that the conspiracy is not part of it.'

This one's real, it's no secret and it makes money
Sell religious scientific illiterates the idea that evolution, a major leg of biology is somehow anti-religious. Always be sure to misrepresent it. Set up museums, web sites, books and magazines promoting the idea. These do not take a lot of work, you can recycle nonsense refuted by scientists 100 years ago and the suckers will not know.

Feed the farrago of lies, misdirection, rotten argument and selected quotes from unwary scientists to anyone who will listen.

Potential "community leaders" will voluntarily go into personal debt to set up "Christian" schools and evangelical churches. After they have reached a satifactory level of scriptural knowledge and ability to parrot your drivel, they can become pastors. If their personal magnetism is enough to obtain a following, their small organisation can build a "Cathedral of Praise", preferably in provincial towns and the suburban outskirts of larger cities. With volunteers acting as promoters attempting to save the souls of immigrants, teenagers, the under-educated and other vulnerable people you can increase the following in a few years.

The followers may tithe. That is, donate up to 10% of their income. From this the pastor obtains his income and serves the mortgage on the buildings and land, which is often his personal property. Banks and other credit agencies regard this as a good risk, even if the pastor has to work two jobs for a while to make the payments.

The pastor also feeds some of his congregation's money to your organisation in return for the "latest information" that "disproves evolution". You don't care which sect he claims to belong to, just as long as he pays. Naturally you also solicit direct donations from the faithful.

Does this make money? Ask Ken Ham.

Oooh, I thought, a cock'n'balls, out of nowhere, what're the chances?

Had to stop, find new phone, work out how to use the camera and photograph it.

Might be the first photo I upload from it, indeed.

The MX
As a child, I was disinclined to believe in anything but science, but I was surrounded by family and friends that believed in all sorts of miracles.

One day, I thought I caught a glimpse an old man, who quickly vanished behind a garage. He looked distinctly evil, very much like Freddy Krueger in “A Nightmare On Elm Street.”

Puzzled, I told my friends about the man, which they quickly understood to be a portent of evil. We even invented a label for him: “MX”, for Mysterious (M) Unknown (X).

Around the neighborhood, over the next few weeks, reports began to trickle in. Various kids *thought* they had seen *things*. We found mysterious three-toed footprints, as if from ostriches or dinosaurs, and after awhile, we even fancied ourselves MX footprint experts: here, the MX walked aimlessly, here he loped, and here he sprinted. Kids claimed to have caught glimpses of mysterious creatures, which they quickly labeled the MX, even though descriptions often varied radically, sometimes even being feminine. I hadn’t seen the MX more than once, but some kids claimed to have seen him a dozen times, or more. Then came the calamity.

In a neighborhood warehouse, an electrician had stored piles of newspaper to recycle back into insulation, plus a large number of hard-plastic screens used to cover ceiling fluorescent light installations. One day, a breathless kid bicycled up shouting “Quick! The MX broke all the screens in the warehouse!” We came running, and sure enough, there was shattered plastic everywhere. The electrician was livid. He blamed us kids. But all the kids said it was the MX. Who was telling the truth?

Actually, as the local science aficionado, I had the tools at hand to establish our innocence. Six months prior, as part of a science book club subscription, I had secured a fingerprint test kit, and had fingerprint records of all the kids in the neighborhood. I quickly went to work to absolve the neighborhood kids from the false accusation.

There was just one problem: everywhere I dusted, the fingerprints of one kid kept appearing. I confronted him, in private, but he stoutly denied any wrongdoing. After all, hadn’t the MX been recently spotted near the warehouse? And he was right, of course.

Even today, I just know that the MX lies behind all our problems.
