DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: CONSPIRACY THEORISTS

I know, I know, many of you out there think I'm a conspiracy theorist. I will admit I do subscribe to a few fringe theories (more on that later) but only after hard evidence has been researched and in the case of Bin Laden's whereabouts, I was wrong. I wish others would admit their mistakes. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Obama Administration- I cannot fully blame Obama for the Keystone Cops-like atmosphere about the Bin Laden death, as we've seen this before with the Bush administration in the wake of the Pat Tillman death and the Jessica Lynch hoax. Mind you those were deliberate attempts at lying to the US people and this was just stupidity squared. Ron Paul this weekend in his announcement for President (and a candidate I rather like), called out the administration for actually helping conspiracy theories by the ham fisted way of doling out misinformation. I understand the fog of war but, jeez, get your story straight before you start diarrhea of the mouth. Osama was armed. He was unarmed. Osama used his wife as a shield. Then he didn't. The whole thing was taped. Then it wasn't. And now it is again. This is exactly why conspiracy theories are still going about this. Stick to one story.

2)NBC News- Speaking of Ron Paul, he got shortchanged something fierce this weekend on NBC Nightly News. This is the first time I have ever seen a character assassination from somebody other than Fox news. In a clip for Paul they took a speech out of context to suggest that Paul wanted to addict the whole country to heroin. What he actually said that if you legalize heroin, no one is going to try it just because it's legal. Way to spread even more misinformation.

3)TEPCO- The only company on the planet that I loathe more than BP, TEPCO came forward and said yes there was at least a partial meltdown in reactors 1 and 3. Status of reactor 2 is unknown but probably in meltdown as well. Radiation continues to pump out unabated and nearly 800 kilometers of Japan are going to be uninhabitable for at least 30 years. Oddly (insert sarcasm here), the US and EU are going back to the testing for radioactive materials once every THREE MONTHS. Even the Norwegians have agreed to shut down their data for public consumption. This is a conspiracy people and one we should be more aware of. Especially if you live in Idaho. One of the last bits of data gotten from the Norwegian site and whose veracity is in debate, shows massive amounts of radiation spreading across the north, with Northern Alaska, Northern Canada and all of Idaho getting bombarded. If you live in Idaho, think about a long vacation somewhere else as your food and water supply is going to be unsafe to eat. The rest of us look okay for now but as radiation will continue to leak for, gasp, years, the future looks bleak for Japan.

4)Conspiracy theorists- "I have had it with these motherf#$cking conspiracy theorists on this motherf#$cking earth!" Thank you pissed off Sam Jackson for summing that up nicely. Look some conspiracy theories have weight such as:

*JFK was killed by more than one guy. Recent FOIA documents say Oswald worked for the CIA and the Zapruder tape clearly shows four shots. A separate conspiracy helped cover it all up for various reasons.

*TWA was shot down by a missile. All evidence points to accidental launch against the plane by our own forces.

*OKC was not brought down by a fertilizer bomb but bombs inside the building. Tests show the damage done by the bomb is not consistent with the damage seen. One of the top explosive experts on earth has written extensively about the subject and recent efforts by a lawyer looking into the case has found startling evidence of a cover up, including the fact the FBI had a warning about a bomb in the Murrah Federal Building 24 hours earlier and did nothing.

*Pan Am 103 was not brought down by Libya. The case was going so badly against the so called terrorist that they let him go for "health reasons."

*While Bin Laden is now officially dead and buried, there are still answered questions about 9/11 such as the evidence about nano-thermite found in three different tests and Cheney's stand down order.

Other than that, the birthers, deathers and even some truthers have to accept the fact that they were wrong about certain things and move on. This is exactly why we are so screwed as a nation because we never accept we're wrong about anything. Ever. It's why religion flourishes even though, most of what is taught is nonsense. We were wrong about Bin Laden. It happens. Radiation is blasting through our system and no one seems to care as we too busy arguing about Obama's birth certificate or whether or not Osama still lives. Let's move on already. So congratulation conspiracy theorists you are douchebag of the week.
