Trade Centre when he speaks in Wellington next month.

Fox comes through again...Hadron Collider being sabotaged by agents from the future.

Don't dismiss it just because Fox News reported it – apparently this is being seriously discussed in physicist circles...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/13/science/space/13lhc.html?_r=1&scp=4&sq=large%20hadron%20collider&st=cse

But by agents from the future, I don't think they mean actual agents like the Men in Black…

They probably have a remedy in contract, given the extent of the malfunctions, and possibly one in…

I keep seeing free screenings of something called Zeitgeist advertised around campus. Haven't seen it but it's available online and looks fairly crazy.

You can see that at freedocumentaries.org I think.

It has some really boring stuff about GASP religion being a bit phony, then some very interesting stuff about…

Also, Mr. Dentith would make the point that it's a conspiracy even if it actually happened, and conspiracy theories aren't fallacious by definition. Apologies if that point has been made already upthread.

I don't think it has been. The use of "conspiracy theory" is often used as a very powerful…

Boston Tce?

Devon St. University in one direction, skinheads in the other.

Aro Valley

Boston Tce?

the drug de rigueur

but what will be the "drug de rugger"?

Pot was passe.

Should have been more specific: this was Aro Valley.

I remember hearing variations on this stuff from potheads I used to flat with in Wellington 20 years ago

Yes 1989 I remember it well, Deepak was lusting after Hollywood starlets, my sex had come from Mars apparently, and I thought the drug de riguer was pillish or powdery. Pot…

W.A.S.T.E.

no I'm pretty sure it was a Thurn und Taxis stamp I used... Silent Tristero's Empire will have to wait...

Ah conspiracists, so good for so little, but the little for which they are good (namely having a laugh) they do ever so well.

Up to a point, Lord Copper. :) But I think we can all agree that the joke palls pretty damn quickly when paranoid dingbats are, quite…

but I do not know their Fax number.
Probably has some 666s in it.

Just send it to the Templars & have them pass it on.

What astonishes me about the Illuminati is how they control everything except Internet.

No, They control that too. All the stuff on the internet is what They want you to see.

Wake up you sheeple!

wanting to enter Parliament is a sign that you're not entirely sane

Yeah, but not as bad as wanting to marry into the British Royal Family..

who have I been sending those cheques to then?

It's all been a W.A.S.T.E

ya mean someone's put the pynch on me...

That's the thing about conspiracy theories, isn't it? There are these vast engines of malice that rule the world (or are hiding the truth about the end of the world in 2012 or destroyed the Twin Towers…

. . . destroyed the Twin Towers while telling all the Jews to chuck a sickie

The Elders of Zion projectile vomiting! How utterly Icke-y.

Dubya and Darth Cheney, I could imagine them, on dark nights transforming into tongue flicking lizards, descendants from a long line of somehow surviving dinosaur aliens from another dimension ensuring our confused and anxiety ridden psychic energies were feeding their ravenous appetites.

I keep seeing free screenings of something called Zeitgeist advertised around campus. Haven't seen it but it's available online and looks fairly crazy.

Yeah, pretty crazy. I've only seen bits, but it seems to be in three parts. Part One is all about how Christianity is just a cut-n-paste from…

Re. the backmasking – thanks for posting Richard, I'd never felt like destoying my records enough to try and make them play backwards.

I never realised Beelzebub was so into toolsheds that he wanted to lead us all down the garden path to one. I suppose it makes sense though,…

2001 I cast my eyes over those books.

You have my sympathies.

And on a slight tangent to matters conspiratorial, I'm a big fan of The Dim-Post, but seriously Danyl: W. T. F?

Indeed. I loved George D's comment:

Danyl, I’m glad you’ve got back to writing satire.

If I ever get a business card, that has to go on it.

Go for Nick Smith’s throat: question his mental health. Provoke outrage. Ask why he’s cutting funding for therapy when he obviously needs it himself. Kick up a huge controversy.…

so simply by (lazily) deploying the sign of 'provocation' you can consign my enquiry to hell just like that, huh?

I think a much better reason for doing that is that you're consistently incoherent.

In a great year for conspiracy, I think my favourite headline would be: "Charlie Sheen demands Obama meeting on 9/11 cover-up". The Weekly World News would have rejected that one as too far-fetched, but it ran for real in the LA Times.

Uncensored were all over it too. Their article…

but i was a bit disturbed to see the outright condemnation on PA of one of yr fellow NZ journalists for sampling from another one (in Oz) without acknowledgement – a real…

Ah. It appears I did not know that because somebody did not want me to know.

Remove the probe Russell ( its just behind your left ear) then you will know all they do not want you to know

You mean, Vicki Hyde the Founder of KAOS?

I did not know that.

"Interesting" how that doesn't rate higher on her CV, isn't it? I'm just saying, it's 'interesting'.

Ah. It appears I did not know that because somebody did not want me to know.

Zis is KAOS! Ve don't conspire here!

I suddenly thought of the Minister in In The Loop, constantly claiming to be playing a long game while not keeping up. I haven't though carefully about how fair that is.

Here's the famous Stairway to Heaven revealed as containing -…

Because they got dicked, again. I certainly have sympathy for Maori Television: not much at all for those involved from the Maori Party.

Meh... I always say if you're going to behave like an arsehole, a rough dicking is probably exactly what they deserve. If anything, I'd say MTS and…

General Albert Stubblebine features largely in Jon Ronson's "The Men Who Stared at Goats"

It's interesting how often the words "former ACT MP" correlate with "mad as a bag of kittens with serious psychiatric issues".

It's interesting how often the words "former MP" correlate with "I am backing toward the nearest fire exit and praying for my life". I think it was Auberon Waugh…

do you mean Vicki Hyde of the NZ Skeptics?

You mean, Vicki Hyde the Founder of KAOS? "Interesting" how that doesn't rate higher on her CV, isn't it? I'm just saying, it's 'interesting'.

* Which has its own share of such theories.

That's actually a wee bit disturbing.

I had to turn it off when he started doing the Darth Vader voice.

Rather than having a piss-up a with a blogger to prematurely celebrate a "political victory", the Maori Party might be well advised to look to the Act Party for lessons in how to exercise leverage as a minority support party. Because they got dicked, again.

But National is closer ideologically…

Or how about a big crazy dose of Jonathan "it's become more and more apparent that it is a Satanic agenda" Eisen? Not sure how to embed this ...

That's actually a wee bit disturbing.

Zeitgeist

I'm guessing it's not the Adventures of Phoebe Zeitgeist from 1968 – created by writer Michael O'Donoghue ( National Lampoon, Saturday Night Live ) and illustrator Frank Springer (Marvel) first published in Evergreen Review in which the hapless heroine is tromped on by multiple tropes – a metaphor for…

How about I get my colon irrigated with a water blaster full of battery acid instead — it would be a quicker and less painful way to cause…

But look out before that for a Christmas Great Blend!

Tentative date? Y'know, for those of us who are making travel plans...

BTW, Russell, weren't you trying to get Ben 'Bad Science' Goldacre out here for the next Great Blend? How's that coming along, if it is and/or you can say anything...

It's looking hopeful for early next year, just quietly (he says on a public website).

But look out before that…

Normally, scientists regard Internet hysteria with nothing more than a raised eyebrow and a shake of the head. But a few scientists have become so concerned at…

It represents what is a fairly common opinion, although one that is significantly underrepresented in American politics.

Rather than having a piss-up a with a blogger to prematurely celebrate a "political victory"

Who goes to a bar, makes a bad joke at someone else's expense, high fives around the table, and then hurries home to post it on their blog? Is this common in Wellington these days?

BTW, he's not really a 'climate change expert'....

You get that. Here's Fox News recently with an "infectious diseases specialist" who actually turns out to be an anti-ageing quack who peddles magic potions:

Nearly half a million views of that one so far ...
