Do you ever buy into any of the many conspiracy theories out there?

Not really,but I do find some of them hilarious, such as that Denver International Airport is housing an underground military installation. Google it, you'll laugh.

*shifty eyes* Can't talk, black helicopters will find me. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go buy more aluminum foil. I'm all out of hats.

Yes I am a kook. Interestingly, much can be learned from many of the theories out there, because most have some very enlightening pieces of truth within them.

I happened to listen to the radio interview Alex Jones did with Ron Paul after the election, simply because we are huge fans of Ron Paul. He starts on the "New World Order" stuff. When you start to google NWO, you can get into some crazy crap! I feel like there is some truth in a small amount of the information, but most is just whacked!

I was just curious if anyone else read the stuff.

Hey, we aliens don't want you to believe in those conspiracy theories. If too many of you believe, then our plans will be foiled. Foiled! Oh, and speaking of foil, that won't work. The people on planet Oorfus learned that the hard way. I'll give you a hint: it involves WD-40 and duct tape.

I love conspiracy theories. Some are better than others. Obviously, the aliens are my favorite.

Default I think this ties all the theories together.

Was "There are no WMDs in Iraq" a conspiracy theory? Was "Iran Contra" a conspiracy theory? Was "HItler ie executing the Jews" a conspiracy theory? Was "Watergate" a conspiracy theory?

The New World Order stuff I've heard and read about generally has to do with a secret plan to merge Canada and Mexico in with the USA, forming a single nation and robbing us of our sovereignty. Much of it was triggered by a North American Community study done by the Council on Foreign Relations, and their recommendations:

I think they can be fun, and as statefan said there is often a little truth to be found. At the very least, it makes a person think.

I will admit to believing that there is some truth to a North American Union
