Have you taken thought to those CONSPIRACY theories?

[Sterling]

What are your thoughts on conspiracy theories like...

a. more than 1 person shot JFK
b. we really didn't land on the moon
c. there really are cures to cancer and AIDS

[KnowledgeEternal]

a. 1, 2, 3, or 20 people it doesn't matter. He was still shot. Why does it matter how many people did it?

b. It wouldn't be the first time the govt. lied to us.

c. I think the things that they have been found which are helpfull against cancer and AIDS are in the testing phases right now. You know check for side effects. You don't want to publicise that you have the cure for cancer/aids and the cure causes blindness.

Alllll the Time..STUFF LIKE THIS REALLY MAKES U THINK.

[NOWorNEVER]

I don't know about questions 1 and 2, but I have a theory about 3. Now, it's just a theory, so don't shoot me down for this. I feel that a cure for cancer can be easily made, but the medical field wants to suck people dry through various testing medications, treatments, and chemotherapy. Think about it, if the cure was revealed people would buy it and that would be the end. If they hide the cure, they know that people will spend lots of money in order to keep finding one (if that makes sense).
As far as AIDS, I agree with the theory of it being a man(gov't)-made disease to wipe out the homosexual community, but it back fired and made its way into the heterosexual community as well. There is so much hidden information that the gov't refuses to tell us, it's almost scary. (I also read that crack and other addictive drugs were made to wipe out the black community and credit was created to keep people oppressed and in bondage). Something to think about.

I don't have proof or anything, of course, but something in me burns everytime I hear AIDS because it is a virus that was created in a lab for popultion control. That is known. Those who "the man" singled out as the first to go were and are: gays, blacks (notice AIDS is extremely widespread in Africa) and now in virtually every minority ethnic group in the United States. If there is a large number of people who wish the US free and clear of ethnic minoritites, why would they introduce a cure for this disease when it is doing such a good job of clearing us out? Another thing that strikes me is how is it that Magic Johnson now has very little if any signs of the disease now? Is it because he has the MONEY? If so, that is rediculous...you have literally millions of people dying horrible deaths because of this disease but Magic Johnson can live because he is famous and has money...Again, let me reiterate: I think ther definitely IS a cure for AIDS and it is being withheld for political (and demonic) reasons...you simply don't create a virus without a cure for it. Just like it "came out" that the government did plant drugs in the massive Black communitites in the 60's and prior to then, it will come out eventually once BLACK people themselves recreate a cure for ourselves, that the government had something to do with the onset of the AIDS epidemic as well. Yep, call me a conspiracy theorist but I have a gut feeling about this one.

My only pondering thought/question about #2 is this:
If they landed on the moon in the 60's and technology wasn't as sophisticated as it is now, how come there hasn't been another so-call visitation/landing since?

I'm feelin' everyone's point of view.

I think I asked something similar to that in hgih schhol, and my teacher was like.. the millions of dollars spent to go again, would be a waste because they have collected all the samples that they needed to review and research the first time.

HHMMM...I wondered about that too. If NASA is really interested in exploring the possiblity of living in outer space, why no research the moon further instead of Mars (did they ever find the probe they "lost")?

I, too, believe there is a cure for cancer and AIDS, AIDS especially. I remember taking a CPR class in high school (89-90) and we had to clean the dummy off with a solution of bleach & water "to prevent transmission of HIV." And I thought either they're trying to scare us into cleaning this thing off or bleach & water really does kill the AIDS virus. Then there's the point CrimsonRage brought up about Magic. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy he's well, but it does make you wonder.

As for cancer, well, it's been around FOREVER. There's been more than enough time to discover two or three cures.

Here's something else I don't understand. The unemployment rate is really low, like 3% or something like that, which is considered full employment. You go to hotjobs.com,monster.com,etc. and there are TONS of openings, yet when I submit my resume, I never hear back. You need someone to fill a position, I'm qualified for that posistion (I wouldn't submit if i wasn't), why the HECK can't I at least get called for an interview??? I mean dang, I don't have an "African American" name, I have a degree, I have work experience & computer experience. WTF? I'm beginning to wonder if there's merit to the theory some have that if you attended an HBCU but it wasn't one of the more well known schools, you're S-O-L. (sorry, i didn't mean to vent, it just came out)

I feel as though there are a lot of diseases that are curable. I also feel that many of these diseases have already been cured, but we "the consumer" never hear anything about it. The drug companies are in the business of making money. Without continued sickness, where would they be. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but the drug companies fight hard to keep their patents protected. Fighting disease is big business. Let me pose this question: When cures to diseases like AIDS and Cancer are discovered will everyone have access? Or just the rich few who can afford the high price of good health???

[CrimsonTide4]

I am in total agreement in regards to Magic Johnson either not having the AIDS or being cured because he has the $$ to get the cure. How sad that such a deadly disease that is killing innocent babies is being used to kill off "the less desirables" of American society.

There were other moon landings after the initial one. My main question is:: If the US was able to do it in the 60's why has no other country been able to do it since? That alone should raise some eyebrows. Although China is in the process of attempting a moon landing.

Girl, don't you hate getting those update emails sent to you, getting your hopes up?

Here's one: The King Assassination, we all know the gov't was behind it, but I think JESSE was involved, too. He wanted to be the new messianic icon for Black folks. Look how hard he keeps trying!

much respect...

If you are really interested in various conspiracy theories there is an interesting book that has detailed conspiracy theories. the only thing that might be a drawback, if you don't like this kind of thing, it is told through comic book style by amazing artists.

It is called The Big Book of Conspiracy Theories by Doug Moench. It is in a series called The Big Book Series from Factoid Books...published by Paradox Press. Each book in the series is written by someone different and the artists also change. Some of the comics are "real" looking. The others look like comics. Its kind of a pulp fiction comic book style.

Here are just a few of the gems in this book!

-classic conspiracies: kennedy-king connection, rfk conspiracy, lincoln-kennedy connection etc.

-"big brother" type conspiracies: cia invented LSD, brotherhood of the magic bullet...tracing masons in the white house and through the fbi, jonestown links to the cia etc.

-potpourri: why canabis is illegal...hemp being a cheap form of paper and clothing. hearst stood to loose a lot of money if hemp became the way paper was made. ever wonder, if you study history, how one minute marijuana propaganda said that it made folx crazy if they smoked it. then the next, during war time, it made people lazy? hmmmm...oh and by the way...the constitution is written on dutch hemp...and ummm...george washington and thomas jefferson grew hemp.

-and finally...
are we the crops of aliens?, illuminati and other secret societies...etc.

-there is much much more in the book!

this book is really interesting if anyone is interested. if you have a local comic book store..or even a bookstore i'm sure you can find it...or order it.

sorry if this was too long.

peace

My mother believes that more than 12% of black people live in the US. I don't really agree nor disagree yet, but it does seem like there is a looooooot of black people around.
