News reports and confusion

The media sometimes need to admit the don't know as much as they claim too. We had a young lad at work who was plastered all over the tabloids and the news...all reports claimed the lad was autistic etc, yet there is no official documentation anyway that claims that, similarly the model of his family life...they new what they wanted to report and even without proof or evidence they went ahead and reported it anyway.

The same happens with any major event too. The mews has simply become a sensationalist machine doing their best to make people believe what they want them to, and setting fear and panic into everyone's minds.

This recent 'Batman shooting' in America.  Watch Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine'.  Very relevant.

To me a lot of conspiracy theories are just that made up to seek a hidden agenda  mostly political.

The 9/11 theory is one such example.

That whole middle east is a mess always has been right down in history. Even today we can not sort things out.

It does seem as though the west is trying to manipulate the middle east into their way of thinking by de -stabilizing governments that they can't get on with.  

In the past we tried to find a solution to the Jews and their nomadic life style at least a solution that was better than Hitlers idea.

What happened was the united nations decided after the war to give them land in Palestine and form Israel, this and the fact they had strong links with the west made them grossly unpopular by all the surrounding country's.

Israel plays their cards brilliantly by more or less saying you put us here now help us defend and look after ourselves with weapons etc .

So what the west did there you could argue made matters worse.

David ike is a nutter, his theory about Lizard people is out of the looney tunes book of life in my opinion.

Quoted from marinette

'At the heart of his theories lies the idea that a secret group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood controls humanity, and that many prominent figures are reptilian, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, Kris Kristofferson, and Boxcar Willie.[3]'  [Boxcar Willie??]
  

Haha, sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Quoted from upthestripes

Well well well! VERY interesting....
Suppose it now boils down to whether you believe in coincidence!

Still trying to work out what might be going on in Syria.  

Today's interesting statement from the Beeb:

'Our correspondent, who is near Damascus, says the rebels are divided, between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Salafists (hardline Islamists).

The Salafists are better armed, he says, because they are receiving weapons and money from outside.'

The Syrian government continues to claim that it is hunting down terrorists.  

According to Wikipedia, 'German government officials[10] have stated that Salafism has a strong link to terrorism but have clarified that not all Salafists are terrorists'.

Back to today's BBC news article: 'UK Foreign Secretary William Hague ... called for more support for the opposition, "including helping them prepare for Syria after Assad".

The reference to the situation in Palestine post WW2 is quite interesting. My understanding is that the Palestine Issue pre dates WW2 by a good 20 years. Palestine was originally controlled by the Ottoman Empire who's defeat by the British under Allenby in 1917 caused a huge power vacuum. The newly formed League of Nations gave Britain the rights to administer the area on the understanding that due consideration was given to not only the creation of a Jewish state but also a Palestinian Arab state. The events of WW2 hardened the Jewish attitude and by 1947 and having been victims of several terrorist outrages culminating in the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem the British had had enough and forced the U.N. to make a decision by stating their desire to withdraw from their protectorate role. The rest as they say is history. I happen to think that the west were almost damned if they did/damned if they didn't after WW1 with the very real risk of all out civil war in the area and the dangers inherent in that...
