That website you link to is a ridiculous conspiracy theory nutcase website. They also have articles such as this one which spends the whole time denying that HIV causes AIDS. |

Most definitely. Did you hear that JFK was killed by the aliens from Roswell because of his involvement in a CIA plot to cover up the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby? |

It's possible. I think that 9/11 could have been a conspiracy theroy, as well as Ameila Earheart and Rosewell. But how can we say for sure? |

If they did, they failed.

That one must have been created by the same guy who claims Popeye's chicken sterilizes black men. |

if you believe them without a reason, sure. I can just imagine someone dismissing the Julius Caesar assassination plot as some "enemy of reason" too well to actually believe that |

I seriously doubt that the government started this. After all, didn't it originate in Mexico? |

It makes reasonable sense to kill an Emperor if you stand to benefit from it. Emperors knew this, that's why they had guards and people to taste their food. It wasn't just for show.
If someone turned around to you and told you that Julius Caesar was acually bumped off by the illuminati for his divulging his links with the extra-terrestrial technology trade through coded inscriptions, would you believe them?
Also, while I'm on it, another reason conspiracy theories are bad is they detract attention from the issues that we should all be up in arms about by bastardising them.
They cost lives, Kung. Millions of lives will be lost to ridiculous conspiracy theories. It's serious stuff.

completely-fabricated conspiracy theories with no holding in reality could be considered enemies of reason I suppose, sure. The kind that's never backed up and left an unbased assertion.
but to say ALL conspiracy theories are just bunk is kinda silly considering how many ended up being true (like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, or the smallpox blankets I mentioned before) |

Regarding smallpox blankets, that was in the 1760's. Germ theory didn't really come about until a century after that, Jenners vaccination- which, in truth, was grounded in observation and not biological science didn't arrive for another 30 years.
Yes, those men had written in postscripts to each other about trying to take out native americans with disease, but they had also written about trying to take them down with dogs. Also, they were postscripts- the didn't feature as worthy of mention in the rest of the letter. What does that tell you?
In the diary of Trent "the Blanket Boogieman" (who, incidentally was not party to the above mentioned letters) his now immortalised quote "Out of our regard to them we gave them two Blankets and an Handkerchief out of the Small Pox Hospital. I hope it will have the desired effect." which out of context sounds exceptionally bad.

When you add the context of the entry which ran along the lines of "Some indians came to see us today to warns us of attack, they'd asked the 6 nations (not the rugby ones) to hold off until we could escape, which was really good of them. To reciprocate the spirit of friendship I gave them blankets and a handkerchief from the smallpox hospital, I hope it has the desired effect."
Hospitals would probably be the only place where there would have been a surplus of available blankets. He certainly wouldn't have taken such a resource from his own stash or those of his men- who had lost a lot to Indian raids.

The smallpox could have been on the blankets, they did, after all come from a smallpox hospital but smallpox doesn't do so well in sunlight and air- also it really needs an aerosol for effective transmission and it really needs to be up your nose if it's going to do any damage. This makes blankets a crap tool for transmitting smallpox.
If someone carrying the smallpox virus had sneezed in front of the visiting Indians- they would have been far more likely to infect them. There was obviously smallpox in the town at the time, otherwise a smallpox hospital would have been a bit pointless. Could that have happened? Could the infection have come from the town at all? Those envoys had obviously travelled around several Indian communities- could they have carried the smallpox virus from there? Smallpox in the bad old days was pretty common.

Finally, if the British Army had found out that by sending infected blankets to Indian communities they could wipe them out- do you really think it would have been an isolated incident? |
