		<description>D&#039;oh typos! Goshdurned dangnabbed dang-blasted typos! 
------------------------------------------------------- 


Corrected here coz Ican&#039;t EDIT. Grr ... :-( 
&lt;i&gt;
&quot; Dan Brown (DaVinci code author ) has stories based on the Jesus married (6), Illuminati (5) and refers to experimental craft and black choppers (17) as well as writing fiction about NASA (or the &lt;b&gt;NRO&lt;/b&gt; actually) faking the discovery of life in space. His books are best-sellers … He may have something to answer for or be approaching a CT-ist himself.&quot; &lt;/i&gt; &lt;roll&gt; 

Of course, just because you&#039;re paranoid doesn&#039;t mean there aren&#039;t people out to get you .. ;-)

Oh &amp; Guy Fawkes was the only person who ever entered Parliament with honourable intentions ..

November 20th, 2008 at 10:57 am :
&lt;i&gt;
&quot;Why isn’t holocaust denial on the list? Maybe because those crazies say that the holocaust was a conspiracy?&quot; &lt;/i&gt;

Perhaps because it does&#039;nt even make the grade as CT - its even lamer than chemtrails? ;-)  

That said, while the Holocaust (or Shoah as they call it) happened its certainly been over-emphasised while similar or worse genocides have had far less attention -Armenians, Russian, Chinese and esp. Native American eand indigenous populations globally suffered as badly or numerically atleast far worse than the Jews did and for longer and yet get none of the massive attention the holocaust does.  Yeah, it happened, yeah it was blinkin&#039; awful, but sadly its far from unique and has been exploited for political ends. Oh &amp; more groups than just the Jews were killed too - Communists, German dissidents, gypsies &amp; others were slaughtered too in case we&#039;ve forgotten. 

There&#039;re also missing the Marilyn Monroe was murdered one too ..

Interesting list - some seem to be psychological denial or wishfiul /paranoid thinking, others dodgy SF -Political madness ideas. 

Dan Brown (DaVinci code author ) has stories based on the Jesus married (6), Illuminati (5) and refers to experimentalcraft and black choppers (17) aswellas writing fiction about NASA (or the NROP actually) faking thediscovery of life in space. His books arebest-sellers ... He may have something to answer for. 

To me some CT&#039;s seem well founded (Operation Northwoods, MK-Ultra, Kennedy plots), some quite plausible (Jesus married, Moscow bombings) some with perhaps a grain of truth coated with hype (Diana and 9-11 something fishy and convenient about both - a &quot;not quite right&quot; factor at play) others just ridiculous and clearly wrong (chemtrails, GW hoax, Moon hoax) .. 

There&#039;s a continuuum of sorts from the pretty likely right or at least something in it to the very definitely loony there.. 

I hasten to add  that while I &lt;i&gt; wonder &lt;/i&gt; about some I don&#039;t really agree in full with any CT. :-)</description>
