Is the conspiracy subreddit counterproductive?
28 2011-03-28 by oprahspussy
I know this is a great place to find links and keep up to date, as well as hear the opinions of those who have been following conspiracies for awhile, but... a lot of the links here should be in mainstream subreddits, by posting them here and only here it just keeps in the informed informed, while the rest of the internet is oblivious. I know we don't get respect in other subreddits but its about time our links got exposure elsewhere or else this subreddit becomes pointless.
We need to cross post and upvote so we can be seen outside of this small nook in the internet.

i think the reason people post news stories here that aren't exactly applicable is because they want to see the reaction of this community first and foremost. but i agree, crossposting should be something that we as a community do more often.
6 oprahspussy 2011-03-28
I agree with you. To mainstream reddit its ok to not trust the government, to think the government and the world is corrupt, but to believe in conspiracies is looked down upon. Its because of the david ickes and alex jones of the world who exist to make us look bad.
Maybe every top voted link should be cross posted, then upvoted by all of us, idk just a thought. But obviously we need to keep the crazy shit out of the other reddits, and stick with legit sources and backed up theories.
1 Fountainhead 2011-03-28
Honestly it's not. They may not help but they certainly aren't the main problem. The main problem are posts like planes not hitting the pentagon or thermite bringing down buildings. Those stories aren't factually based and when they get posted on other subreddits that lack of fact gets called out. I'm not trying to be mean, the burden of proof is on you. That's often forgotten. /r/conspiracy are for conspiracies.
This is a great place for conspiracies /r/news /r/politics /r/worldnews isn't.

The U.S. government has released two separate videos of the Pentagon attacks. Neither video shows a plane hitting the Pentagon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paWiZ2Y8fRg
Following Occam's razor that "the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one" a rational person can only conclude that a 757 never stuck the Pentagon.
Since you also mentioned the thermite, here is the University study entitled Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe:
http://www.benthamscience.com/open/tocpj/articles/V002/7TOCPJ.pdf
Here is solid evidence supporting the claims you disputed. May I ask what facts you are using to draw your conclusions? It sounds like you may be relying on the propaganda distributed via the corporate media to form your opinions since you have offered no facts to support your argument.
-1 Fountainhead 2011-03-28
By that logic where is the video of the plane flying over the pentagon?
It was a pay to publish journal. I could have bought "why farts are funny" into that journal. The editor quit when she found out it was published. It wasn't peer reviewed. Yet that's what you are sticking your faith in. I rest my case. There are 100s of papers published in peer reviewed journals that are respected across the world that have topics related to the collapse of WTC 1, 2, and 7. Why don't you trust those? Oh, that's right, it doesn't fit your narrative.
NIST reports, CIA, FBI evidence, countless investigative reporters, Frontline reports, Der speigal articles, wall street journal articles, the times, bbc, I could go one all night. What do you have?
What facts do you need? Are there any that would change your mindset? I doubt it. No one ever responds to me with an answer, I doubt you'll be the first. As to my media sources you have to be joking if you don't think yours have an agenda. That would be seriously comical if you thought that.

If you are trying to prove something (e.g. a conspiracy theory), the burden of proof is on you.
1 adrixshadow 2011-03-28
You have to understand that there is a cat and mouse game, and there is allot of Disinformation, Missinformation, Conning and "Debunking" and its very easy for "flawed" articles to be injected into a theory in an effort to undermine it
IT is very important that you don't believe ANY article about a conspiracy theory and do your own research on the theories,Just because in the article the theory appears baseless doesn't mean it is
1 ryegye24 2011-03-28
Ok. Just 2 things. 1st- that doesn't address the fact that if you are making a claim, especially one as fantastic as some of these theories, then the burden of proof is on you to provide evidence of the claim. It is not on me or others to try to debunk it. I could tell you right now that I have X-Ray vision, but it wouldn't be your job to prove my claim wrong, it would be my job to provide evidence of my claim.
2nd-
If one is not supposed to believe anything they read about any conspiracy, why should they believe the articles with evidence supporting them? Is your determining factor for the articles to believe and the ones to ignore whether they support or oppose your theory? If it is important for me to not believe anything I read about a theory, then there is no point in doing my own research, because none of it can be believed.
1 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
If they aren't factual why are they reopening the investigation of 9/11? And NO the burden of proof is on the prosecution, and there was no evidence, PROVE to me that a Boeing passenger jet hit the Pentagon. Since even a master pilot that TRAINS pilots on THAT specific aircraft claims "I could not even pull it off, I tried a dozen times, and several experienced students tried without success. So the idea of some amateur that only trained in a prop plane is ridiculous!" Then the interviewer tried (who has logged several hundred hours in a prop plane) admitted he couldnt do it after several tries. Closest he got was 2 1/2 miles past the pentagon at the reported speed angle and trajectory. So go ahead and PROVE to me this hypothesis can be replicated to make it SCIENTIFIC PROOF!
Besides how do you fit a passenger plane with 2 MASSIVE turbines 2 long wings into ONE 16 foot hole?
Last, Conspiracy means: 1. a secret plan or agreement to carry out an illegal or harmful act, esp with political motivation; plot 2. the act of making such plans in secret
So thinking that this is a /r/theories category is wrong.
PROVE to me a Boeing passenger aircraft struck the Pentagon!
5 troubleondemand 2011-03-28
This is exactly what Fountainhead was referring to about facts. You did not list one fact in that last post. A skilled pilot saying he didn't think he could replicate what the hijackers 'did' is not proof or fact of anything other than the hijacker may have been a better pilot than the instructor after only a couple of lessons.
I agree that that sounds ridiculous but, you have to provide more than what you just did as it is most definitely not scientific or proof anything.
0 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
and 2 lessons in a prop driven airplane is NOT a single lesson in a turbine driven passenger jet. <-- just to add to your "ridiculous" argument. So far my statements and evidence WELL outweighs your... opinions, come on now. What you claim must be easy to prove, since you claim it to be FACT by your definition (and science) you must have some undeniable proof.
-1 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
Is NOT a way to prove ANYTHING to me, unless being ridiculous IS your proof to me that a Boeing passenger jet struck the Pentagon. I am asking for what really struck it and a Boeing jet is one of the FARTHEST and most REMOTE possibility, so I ask YOU to PROVE your hypothesis to ME. However I completely agree with that nothing is true until proven I challenge you to PROVE what you claim which is a Boeing 747 with an amateur prop plane experience made an IMPOSSIBLE flying maneuver with an aircraft he NEVER flew before into a 16 foot hole in the Pentagon!! ... THAT is the correct story? right?
1 yesterdayman 2011-03-28
What, it's impossible for a plane to hit the Pentagon? Jews, this one goes deeper than we could ever have imagined.
0 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
... still not convinced it was a Boeing passenger jet at 500 mph
1 yesterdayman 2011-03-28
Darn tootin' brother, it was 750mph and the plane was full of jews, placed there by the superZionists.
1 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
but it cant be 750 mph... passenger aircrafts cant withstand the sound barrier. Besides no report of a sonic boom.
Think of it this way, same reason why no experienced pilot has been able to perform this flying maneuver in a simulator on that aircraft. Imagine passing your exit on the expressway traveling at 70mph, it requires you to get over (usually) to the right lane a mile before hand, now imagine that same situation at 600 mph, you'd have to be in the perfect lane 30 -40 miles before you even saw the building. Bear in mind this is NOT a stunt plane, turning these planes is no easy task ESPECIALLY at full throttle descending. Out of hundreds of simulations the closest any EXPERIENCED pilot could achieve was 1/2 mile BEFORE the Pentagon, because of the hill located on that trajectory, the second closest was 2 miles PAST. But here you claim a non experienced barely trained never practiced on this aircraft was able to pull it off flawlessly with only 1 try is just preposterous. So again I ask for your PROOF, that a Boeing passenger aircraft flew by a novice pilot traveling at 600(compromise with you) mph crashed into the most defended building on the planet and put 2 wings 2 engines a fuselage and a tail into a 16 foot hole PERFECTLY
0 yesterdayman 2011-03-28
Yeah nothin' to it bro, I used to be a pilot on the old MIG-22s, could fly one of those babies sideways through half a barn door. If I can do that, some son of a kraut can take out the Pentagon. I mean give them some credit.
2 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
give who some credit??? this "Al-CIA-da" amateur?? You better give me some credit before you give it to him, at least we talked. And I do not doubt you could fly a MIG-22 into the Pentagon. But do you really think you could hop into a Boeing passenger jet TODAY with no practice and maybe a video game to learn the controls but no simulation training, and pull off a maneuver that experts who fly those birds every day say they couldnt do? Are you really that pompous?
Another thing your not taking into account on this is the landscape. The trajectory that aircraft/missile took it had to avoid 2 buildings and a considerable hill and tall freeway overpass. Its not a simple "look building hit it" to start with it wasnt visible when the the course had to be set (auto pilot will NOT target the pentagon, so NO computer assistance) then you must avoid 2 buildings, then remain above the trees while accelerating then a fast drop over the hill maneuvering around the freeway with 2 overpasses and then keep it off the ground long enough to strike the building a few feet off the ground without scraping the dirt AFTER tucking the wings and tail and motors into the fuselage so they dont cause any damage other then the 16 foot hole.
R U serious you think you can do that??? facepalm
STILL waiting for your proof!!

I pretended to be a pilot at Manchester airport and got in the cockpit of a 747 and flew a transatlantic flight to the U.S. The company just asked me never to attempt it again as they weren't going to press charges as it would scare the public if they found out how easy it was to get in the cockpit. I did a few barrel rolls out in the ocean, I think thats when air traffic control found out I wasn't licensed as the stewardess got on the portable radio to them.
0 Fountainhead 2011-03-28
who is reopening the investigation?
Statements like this are exactly the kind of crap that ruins any kind of credibility. People are just going to laugh and call you a kook.
What proof do you want? Bodies? Check. Witnesses? Check. Physical evidence? Check. What exactly is going to convince you?
Ok, but I think we can all agree we are talking about conspiracy theories.
what?
Again, is there any proof that will convince you? Do you have that same evidence for your own beliefs?
0 Perfect_Fit 2011-03-28
sure explain to me this 16 foot hole and the engine HALF the size of a motor on a Boeing and the manufacturer of Boeing does not recognize this motor found in the Pentagon!
Or 1 of the COUNTLESS cameras that were pointed at the Pentagon. Because if ANY of those videos showed a Boeing Passenger aircraft it would NOT be a national security issue. It would be proof of THEIR claim, but here they are Secret Service CONFISCATING ALL video surveillance from surrounding buildings UNDER the National Security claim. And the 5 HD Cameras on THAT side of the Pentagon facing OUTWARD, also National Security... DOES IT NOT seem ODD to YOU that they have the EXACT evidence they need to PROVE their claims, but they cant show them .. because WHY???
.. the witness' have ALL been proven to be an employee of the Pentagon or a paid actor, so good luck with that (btw the guy in the Blue cap from the parking lot cannot be found by that name) the first one on the TV screaming "Bin Laden" was an actor from California with no excuse why he was there that day in that area (other then to look good on camera and start the propaganda train) What about ALL the witness' that said there were explosions, or do you only listen to the ACCEPTED witness'?
... or the dozen that said the first plane was BLACK and not a passenger plane at all? Again ONLY the accepted witness'? what about the guy who called his wife to let her know he got out from a payphone and she wasnt home so the answering machine recorded multiple explosions... AGAIN you like them ignore the evidence that doesn't conform with your theory that the government TOLD you to believe... way to think for yourself sheeple!
Or the special agent who's desk was TWENTY FOUR FEET from the explosion site, she was knocked to the floor as was her 2 year old baby, she picked up the baby and walked out THROUGH the (SIXTEEN FOOT DIAMETER) hole and saw NO (plane) WRECKAGE, she is sueing Chenney Rumsfeld and a few others. But with all that "jet fuel" she SHOULD be dead, right?
But you go ahead and believe the "We'll show you what it looks like... once it looks worse and after we plant evidence (plane wreckage) all around to try to solidify our story and completely fool the simple minded. (looks at Fountainhead)
What about the 5 witness' that said there was a chase plane that pulled up before the explosion, but it wasnt a plane that it was chasing. Nevermind them you have your PROFESSIONALLY paid witness' to believe, there is a few of them, and 10 TIMES as many of the others that tell different accounts. So you go ahead and believe your masters! As for me I have taken all available information and came to my own intelligent conclusion and that is that no matter what happened the "official story" is ABSOLUTELY impossible!

Honestly I'm not sure how to respond to you.
Let me start by asking you to pick one item, in your list, as your most fundamental argument, and I'll be happy to discuss that one item. Whatever you want. I'll be happy to discuss that with you. I'll be disappointed if you don't.

I re edited it so its easier to follow and respond. YOU pick I would prefer you not focus too much on 1 topic and ignore the rest. Like in anything if you stand too close you cant see the picture. So no I would prefer to discuss them all since they all revolve around the same event, I will not take the easiest lie to believe to make the impossible lies more feasible. Check all the events of that day and you will at least wonder why so much doesnt make sense. THEN try to form the most probable conclusion .. and a few terrorists pulling this off will be the most unlikely of them all. Yet we have killed 1.4 MILLION Afghanistan people. And not 1 terrorist. In fact most people in Guantanamo are people who the taliban got paid cash for capturing people most were just farmers. But if your getting paid who cares, right?
1 Fountainhead 2011-03-28
OK, big picture? Why are there no credible news agencies or reporters or journalists or investigators or engineers that have found anything that 911 truth is claiming as true?

Want the link again?? since if you looked at it for HALF a second you would have seen ALL the information that certifies that UNBELIEVABLE photo is FACT and was used as such by the "people" your stupid ass believes over science!
And I am sure there were other photos taken earlier by the special ops watching the whole operation unfold according to plan. But those photo's would only confirm the INSIDE JOB fact. So this would be the EARLIEST photo taken that has been entered into evidence as the "earliest on" photo available to the All Knowing 9/11 bureaucrats that you bow to.
But arguing with you any farther on this thread will be a waste of my time, because no one is going to "continue thread" this far so continuing this debate with you will just not wake any others up to the truth.

Another lame 9/11 video that will make all unbelievers look like quacks.
"Random fires and random damage from plane impacts can only cause random failure not symmetrical failures"
That's some pretty flawed logic there. Random is random and you cannot predict something that is truly random. Therefore, random fires will damage randomly which can include symmetrical fires.
1 uncwil 2011-03-28
So there are some really good videos out there where no one looks like a quack?
1 Simister 2011-03-28
I had to stop and re-read this. This sounds like the "tide goes in, tide goes out" theory of "you can't explain that".
"Random" is a loaded word that is often used without sufficient knowledge of its implications. "Truly random" is even worse in the context of what you wrote because you are unwittingly admitting that you don't understand physical abstractions like entropy. Which is fine. I'm not trying to hate, it's not exactly 'common knowledge'. I'm just sayin, when you start talking about 'symmetrical fires', you are entering the realm of physics. Speculation here will get shat on if not properly defended.
You ended your post with the claim that "random fires will damage randomly which can include symmetrical fires.". Okay then, here's your chance to prove it (I'll even explain how): Take a piece of paper. Take a match or lighter. Light one end of the paper. - If the fire burns in a straight line through the paper all the way to the opposite side from where you lit it, effectively cutting the paper in half (so that you are left with two pieces of paper of roughly equal size/weight), then you have just shown that "random fires can include symmetrical fires" once. Let's call that a 'symmetrical fire'. - If the fire burns the paper in anything but a straight line, then the results of the experiment have refuted your claim, once. Let's call that a (real) 'random fire'. - For extra science points, you can keep score of how many times you get results that defend or refute your claim. Try as many times as you'd like; if you got 1 symmetrical fire for 1000 random fires, I would still be fucking astonished.

From someone who's been doing a little lurking in r/conspiracy for a while, the problem I have with it is that a good chunk of what's posted is batshit insane.
A lot of it comes across like the people who are posting seem to think they're the fucking messiah; that they have a monopoly on critical thinking, and that all of us sheeple are unworthy morons for thinking that the world is maybe just plain old fucked up. So, for the most part I come here for entertainment.
3 [deleted] 2011-03-28
Ditto, I share your sentiments. This subreddit is very entertaining and really, it's the zany ideas I come here for.
One thing I've noticed is that some poor people ascribe to the philosophy that any and every event must have happened for a human reason. So anything bad that has happened is a deliberate act.
No, nothing could be an accident, ever. It's really sad to see some of these people abandon any semblance of logic in order to fit everything into a neat nice tidy worldview. I like what Terence McKenna said about conspiracies:
0 spambot419 2011-03-28
Yes, that's exactly the point I was trying to make. About a week ago 7 (seven!) swans turned up dead near where I live. So on some conspiracy website (or possibly some murmur here, I'm not sure) it's more evidence of the coming HAARPtilian-NWO-chem trail-Apocalypse.
I can't say I know who Terrence McKenna is but I love the quote!

Most of what isposted here isn't "informed", it is wild speculation that has no hard evidence to support it... not that I don't enjoy it.

The balance of up votes is 345 points up currently for the post "THE NEW Remember Building 7 Television Ad.(If anything deserves to go virile, this dose!)" I would say that is productive.

yes, you should go to /r/politics and share some actual facts with them.. wouldn't that be interesting.

You are witnessing the strategic dumbing down of the populace, where fact is relegated to conspiracy. It's working very well, but in the end it's just a part of the diversion.

What we really need to do is to meet in person IRL. There would be some crazies, no doubt, but there might be 1 or 2 sane people too. We need to move beyond the internet and organize.
