The real question is who is the conspiracy theorist, one who sees a terrorist under every bed or the one who doesn't. Meanwhile, the government keeps feeding the former by presenting each FBI-created plot as if it were a real terrorist plot with the latest sting being another mentally impaired man conned into carrying a fake bomb to a Florida synagogue.

Look at this past wknd, 2 people using the restroom took longer than normal, and the entire plane freaked out. WTF? Even had a fighter jet escort the plane. Was this really neccesary?

Last week there was an unconfirmed terror threat and the city went into panic mode. Security checkpoints EVERYWHERE! Stopping all vans, suv's, I even saw them stop and check a schoolbus filled with children. Now do they think the terrorist are that stupid to strike when the city is on high alert? These terrorists are quite smart and when (hopefully not) do strike again, there will be no warnings. Its just gonna happen. At the end of the day, if there is never another terror strike on American soil ever again, all they need to do is start some chatter about an attack and this city will go into full blown panic mode. In this case, they've won! Seeing us go into full blown panic mode is a victory for them.
That's the world we live in dude. Deal with it or move to a safer city, preferably one that respects the 2A.

We didn't give them up, they were TAKEN.

Depends on point of view. One who names conspiracies in other countries is called a conspiracy analyst. When one names a conspiracy HERE, he is called a conspiracy THEORIST.
THe implication is that the U.S. considers itself incapable of conspiracy.


The several WTC buildings and the pentagon were most likely taken down with controlled explosions. All one needs do is LOOK.

Even normal behavior like talking on your cellphone and taking pictures at touristic sites is considered "suspicious" if you look racially "ambiguous"!

I was quite shocked that the black employees in the Empire State Building were playing this profiling game and making random comments about me because they question my Spanish/Latino name and why I do not look Latino (short and dark skin, even though it is an ethnicity label) that I was getting the "Muslim" treatment despite it not being a race nor do I even follow that religion!

They even followed me into a Starbucks where I was getting coffee!

And the guy was light skinned!

I guess it goes to show that if you have dark hair and speak with an accent this makes you suspicious!
