I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Even if it doesn't, the mortgage I have is a fixed debt, and does not change with infation/deflation. So as inflation goes up, the real value of my mortgage goes down.

Anyway, fun to hear conspiricies.

As for those chemtrails... you should check some of the names of the accused- I personally know some of them, as they are EPA people. Strange people- the accusers.

The Stonecutters are behind all of this.

Don't forget to look up HAARP - it controls the weather and creates earthquakes, and caused Katrina...who knows what else. It at least is a real thing, so again the conspiracy is somewhat based on a thin sliver of reality...unlike say chemtrails.

The money ones are scary because the system will fail at some point and it is clearly set up to take wealth from the majority and concentrate it the hands of a few. There seems to be as many diffrernent takes on who "they" are, but the basics of the story atay the same.

This is when the seemingly normal mild-mannered teacher revealed himself to be a religious nutjob conspiracy theorist (why are those so common in IT?) and after going on about how Jews control the world etc.,
I'm more curious as to how this dude has a job. I teach a couple of college music courses (music history) and am VERY careful to leave any sort of political editorializing out of the picture. Rule 1 w/ teaching is to STFU about your biases. I'm surprised he hasn't had some sort of major slip-up that got him canned.

Boy I wish I could have you as a professor. I had one class last semester where there was about two times when I think that I would have gone up and punched the guy, had I not known he was a blackbelt in karate. It seems that every single professor outside of economics and mathematics is pushing a liberal agenda upon the students.

My 9yr old almost has a black belt in Karate... and I can kick his ass easily. They hand them out like little league trophies... but just in case this guy is actually hardcore its best to use a range weapon. The blowgun is pretty quiet and easily hidden as long as you don't sit in the front row.

Why is it so hard for people to believe (I'm talking about 9/11 conspiracies here now) that a couple nutjobs were able to board airplanes and convince the people on (some of) those planes that they were going to land somewhere and be let go? Instead, a more conceivable plan is laid out . . .

The planes that we saw strike the towers that were full of fuel (watch destroyed in seconds and watch that stuff annihilate storage facilities when E36 M3 goes wrong) didn't do any damage whatsoever to the buildings. Instead, a couple demolition teams drilled holes in the concrete supports of the buildings, planted explosives in them, ran detonator cord out of the building to some remote location, and brought the buildings down by some other means. NOBODY in ANY of the offices in those buildings noticed the massive construction effort required to plant the explosives, and NOBODY noticed any of the explosives just waiting to go off. They were invisible, I guess.

Oh, and that plane that hit the Pentagon? Yeah, now it was just a cruise missle, apparently.

And we did this, of course, so that we could spend hundreds of billions of dollars to steal a few billion dollars of oil.

Yeah, the only real "conspiracy" part of the Federal Reserve scam is who these select few people are who have duped the whole U.S.A. into slowly transferring all wealth to them. As far as I'm concerned, that part doesn't really matter. Bilderbergs, Illuminati, Space Aliens, I don't really give a crap about that, the part I care about is the middle class being sysematically destroyed. No conspiracy here, the numbers bear out that the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class aren't very middle anymore.
