Who is your favorite Conspiracy Theorist?

[corporatewhore]

My favorite is austin's own Alex Jones.He is a crazy libertarian tin foil hatter.He makes sense about things like the unPATRIOT ACT and George Dubya but then he goes off on things like the top of thenew bank tower in austin is in the shape of an owl that is used in some occult society. check his site out www.infowars.com

1. It has to be Oliver Stone for me...

I mean, when he blamed almost EVERYONE for JFK's assassination in "JFK", I had to admire his audicity, if nothing else.

[NightTrain]

22. Ditto!

"JFK" was so over the top, the only person Stone didn't pin the murder on was Chubby Checker!

[mouse7]

2. Art Bell show with woman who had sex with lizard people

I actually bumped into that live flipping around the dial. That was, um, interesting.

[brainshrub]

11. My favorite Art Bell was the alien burrito story.

My God, that was good radio!

Here's the alien burrito story Cliffs-Notes version, as I remember it.:

Hiker w/ dog meets up with alien in the woods. Alien turns dog into dust, but while it's distracted the man sneaks up behind the alien and whacks it hard across the head with a heavy branch.

The man then wraps up the alien in a blanket and takes a picture of it...the photo looks like an alien in a burrito wrap.

The man takes the alien home, and puts it in his garage freezer. He even tape-records the thing making a horrible scream.

The alien disappears before the man is able to call the press.

That's all I remember of the story. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when the guy was on the radio telling the story I actually believed him for a few minutes.

[mouse7]

19. My FAVORITE Art Bell was night he crazy-glued his lips together

He evidentally had a cart break, and he was trying to fix it with krazy glue. Then the krazy glue got knocked over. Within a few secs you hear...

mwrrfle rfflme mrrfle... fade... music

several minutes later, Bell comes back bitching because a piece of his lip is now torn off laying in the ashtray in front of him because the krazy glue got on his hands and he unconsciously touched a lip.

[blondeatlast]

21. Ahem--"flipping" being the operative word!

Couldn't resist . . .

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Truth is All

She's (he's?) passionate, literate, and makes sense.

[Insider]

38. TIA

and local ;-)

4. Dave Emory

Dave Emory because he does put out a lot of good information, and unlike some other conspiracy theorists he makes no room for giving the far right a foot in the door in his theories. He's a liberal, anti-fascist, and anti-Bush.

Archived Dave Emory radio shows: http://wfmu.org/playlists/DX

[CanuckAmok]

16. Can he still be a conspiracy theorist if he's correct?

Because I think he's pretty much on the money, 99% of the time. It's amazing, the depth of his research.

I used to receive his show on Radio Free America, via CITR radio in Vancouver. I'm out of their brioadcast range now, so I don't know if they're still briadcasting him.

I find it very hard to keep up with him....but well worth trying.

[ldoolin]

20. Theorist or Researcher

I think he's almost always on the money too. I especially recommend that people look into Emory's research on fascist movements in America, like Yockey, Willis Carto, Michael Moynihan, and connections between fascism and satanism, counter-culture movements, the underground industrial and black metal music scenes, and social Darwinism. He's right on the money.

He's a conspiracy theorist but he's one who is usually right, which I think distinguishes him from the likes of David Icke or Lyndon LaRouche, whose theories are just plain bizarre and whacked; or from Sherman Skolnick or Mark Lane, who tend to start with a predrawn conclusion (Wellstone was murdered, the CIA shot JFK, the Peoples Temple in Jonestown was a CIA mind control experiment) and then gather evidence which would seem to support their theory but without conclusively proving it; or from the garden variety right wingers who use conspiracy theory as a cover for anti-liberal, anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish, anti-environmentalist etc. bigotry. Dave Emory would more properly called a conspiracy researcher. He's also not afraid to call some other conspiracy theorists on their BS and neo-fascist connections.

[CanuckAmok]

23. Also, I think it's incredible that I managed to...

mis-spell the root of "broadcast" two different ways in the same post. That's a new record, even for me.

Unfortunately I didn't notice until after the edit time had elapsed.

[barbaraann]

5. David Icke

What did happen in Sumeria 5,000 years ago? :evilgrin:

[maveric]

8. I like Icke. If it werent for his "reptillian" issues I would take him ...

totally serious. The guy knows his history and does his homework. I've read two of his books and found them very entertaining as well as eductaional.
Who knows, maybe the bu$h family is reptillian. That could explain the black and white perspective.

[barbaraann]

9. He does have some incredible research.

The Bushes might be reptilian but I think a little simian somehow got into the genes with W. :evilgrin:

[Room101]

39. I like Icke. If it werent for his "reptillian" issues I would take him

totally serious. You took the words right out of my mouth. I listened to and read some of his stuff and found it intellectually intriguing then he brought up the reptilians and it really freaked me out.

I don't know enough about Icke I just read a couple articles and heard 3 interviews.

[Lisa0825]

6. I met Alex Jones in December

He was in Houston to show his film 9/11: The Road to Tyrrany, and did an intro and Q&A too. At times he made SO much sense, and at others, I was thinking of "a van down by the river!" (SNL)

a very conservative friend who hates the neocons told me about him, so I went, and got him an autographed book. alex was very nice in person.

[corporatewhore]

7. I saw him interview greg palast when gp was in austin at green festival

he asked some very interesting questions

[Lisa0825]

15. Do you go to his other site? Prison Planet?

www.prisonplanet.com
:tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat: :tinfoilhat:

[solinvictus]

31. "Waking Life" by Richard Linklater

Did you see the bit with Alex Jones ranting about corporate control? It alone is worth the rental price.

[Crunchy Frog]

10. I am

my own favorite conspiracy theorist.;-)

[Robb]

14. I am mine also

...because I don't take myself too seriously. :silly:

[Faygo Kid]

12. Gotta go with Lyndon LaRouche

Geez, his supporters are everywhere, here in DC. Only ol' LaRouche could see the hand of the Queen of England (a family of intellectual giants on a par with the Bushes) as the insidious source of evil in the world.

[CanuckAmok]

17. Is he the one who suggests Prince Phillip was ritually castrated...

...by Adolph Hitler in reprisal for his hunting Macedonians for sport in 1941?

[dudeness]

28. LOL

:)

[brainshrub]

13. Linda Molton Howe

She does a lot of research on crop circles.

[proud patriot]

18. Alex Jones is a real fire cracker of a former Republican

He's my pick too .

[corporatewhore]

25. I love it when he goes after bush supporters on his show

"come on all you people who love bush get over and think" i rember him saying something like that on his show awhile ago

[Room101]

40. Alex Jones can kiss my A**

After an interview with Chomsky, Alex called him a shill for the New World Order. No one has done more to expose the elite with facts and evidence than Chomsky. They had a disagreement about gun availability in Britain, Alex kept saying you are wrong Mr. Chomsky. Chomsky very politely said there is a way to find out the truth we can look at the documentation.

Alex finds a grain of sand and declares it a beach.

[corporatewhore]

41. but chomsky didnt expose

that austins new bank tower was made in the shape of a pagan owl god that is the symbol of super secret occult society !!!!

[Room101]

42. LOL

:)

[carols]

24. Jim Marrs

Rule by Secrecy rocked.
Sherman Skolnick is pretty good too. Really feisty!
Carol

[ikojo]

26. What about Tex Maars or Marrs

He's a right-wing preacher with a shortwave radio show on prophecy.

Everything is the fault of the Illuminati and/or the Jews. He also hates Bush (even a stopped clock is right twice a day) because he is a member of Skull and Bones.

A lot of good conspiracy theorists come out of Texas.

[carols]

27. Not Tex - he is just another goofy, apocalyptic nut

I don't think there is any relation to Jim who has actually done some good anti-corporate fascism work in his writings...
Carol

[GOPisEvil]

29. I knew the answer before I even opened this thread!

I thought the new bank tower in Austin was an homage to nose hair trimmers. :P

Alex Jones makes Austin cable access fun!

[corporatewhore]

30. check it out

http://www.elfis.net/phorum/read.php?f=45&i=74&t=74#REPLY

According to the site it is a pagan owl god used in the bohemian grove society (which of course alex risked his life to film a ritual of) apparently dubya was a part of it

[GOPisEvil]

44. LOL!!!!! I sorta see it now.

:crazy::silly:

[RandomKoolzip]

32. William Bramley.

Author of "The Gods of Eden," which suggests that all wars and disagreements are caused by extraterrestrial "custodians" actin as third party agent provacateurs. Trouble is, my synpsis makes him sound like a fuckin' wacko, but he is a METICULOUS researcher, knows history, and is actually a successful lawyer writing under a pseudonym. Claims that he origianlly was writing a book on Wars throughout history, but the presence of mysterious third-party insigators kept nagging at him...so he devised a theory that these guys had to be aliens. Actually a very interesting book.


Also, Maury Terry is fun to read just cuz he's so melodramatic and "out there." I loved "The Ultimate Evil," his book on the Son of Sam "cult."

I tend to enjoy the more "out there" conspiracy writers more than the sober ones.

[45th Med]

33. Art Bell, David Icke and Jeff Rense

They're all great! Also throw in Jim Marrs.

[corporatewhore]

34. Are there any more Conspiracy Theorists out there ?

[CanuckAmok]

35. I bet there are..but somebody doesn't want us to know who they are...

n/t

[corporatewhore]

45. lol

[TheMightyFavog]

36. What the guy who plays about everybody' favorite deadpan detective?

Richard Belzer?

Hell, I have his book, UFO's, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies you don't have to be crazy to believe. It's some funny shit.

[CanuckAmok]

37. That's a fun book--we keep loaning it to people...

...who don't want to give it back. It's been read so many times now it's held together with a rubber band and tape.

[corporatewhore]

43. black helicopter kick
