Seriously, I think that at least 95% of all conspiracy theories are made up by people with too much spare time.
I think that is a conspiracy theory. Cheesy

What about the Bielefeld theory?
The Bielefeld theory states that, all evidence to the contrary, the city of Bielefeld does not exist.

I've been away a little while.  What is the Atlas Forum Elite?

I've never heard of the Atlas Forum Elite theory.

It's a currently popular theory among some paranoid members of the forum.

I passed through Bielefeld once... which means that I´m probably one of THEM.

Actually, every major event in the world is controlled by the Bilderburg group.

you should also have included the great Opes Dei conspiracy to hide the true story of Mary (the mother of Jesus), and the Sacred Feminine, mentioned in the Da Vinci Code. 

Incidentally, I watched The History Channel's three-hour expose of that fraud. THC debunks every historical claim made in that book--that a pentagon-V stands for 'the sacred feminine', the Order of Solaris {sp?} , a Merovingian connection to the Middle East (lol), etc.

The Da Vinci Code is the Left's version of British-Israelism, only that the Christ seed winds its way through France and not Glastonbury. That book is as hateful a lie as the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"

My advice is to read the book "Focault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, written in the late 1980s I think, which Dan Brown stole a whole host of things for the Da Vinci Code.

The book was extremely popular in Europe (I'm willing to bet Trondheim's read it), but is hardly ever read by anyone in America, partly because Americans tend to be lazy and partly because the work is ridiculously complex, hard to get into and difficult (I think Eco wrote it that way purposely).  The book also needs an index (for the English version), imo.  But it's probably one of the best novels of the last 50 years, once you get into about the 100 pages, everything from before starts to make sense.

Nonetheless, once you read it, you realize that the Da Vinci Code is just a glorified "car chase", with some political musings on how bad the Catholics are.  Total sh**t, in other words.

Actually, it from the, and I use term exceptionally loosely,  "non-fiction" book Holy Blood/Holy Grail, published in the early 1980's.  Eco actually refers to the book in Focault's Pendulum.

Whil FP deals with a conspiracy, it's one about secrect contol of gravity forces, not about a bloodline.

Or "the Plan", as you might say.

I was really not referring to the plot content of the book, as much as the narrative flow of the work and the design.  Still, the point is quite valid.

I believe that Bush had prior knowledge of 9/11 and could've stopped it but didn't, and that there was much more to the JFK assasination.

I think Bush planned the JFK assassination.  He knew at the time that his father would later be CIA Director, and be able to cover it up.

I think FDR planned the JFK assassination, because he was an evil socialist who gave us social security.

I think Abraham Lincoln planned the JFK assasination, and planned his own assasination as well.

I believe that is an Area 51, a secret military base, because there is a secret military base called Area 51.  Now, do they keep the Dark Blue Retigulans there?  No.
Are they similar to Dark Blue Rectanglians?

A friend of mine has often tried to get me to read Focault's Pendulum, but I never have.  He did get me to read The Crying of Lot 49, which was pretty good.  The Trystero should be an option.

I think JFK planned the JFK assassination because he knew that only guys who get assassinated are made into legends.

JFK wasn't a legend.  Many reputable sources prove that he really was the 35th President.

That's nonsense.

Actually, Kennedy was the 36th president... if you count Edith Wilson´s tenure as Acting President. Cheesy

I don't know; I've never met a Dark Blue Rectanglian.

What about the Bielefeld theory?
The Bielefeld theory states that, all evidence to the contrary, the city of Bielefeld does not exist.

I passed through Bielefeld once... which means that I´m probably one of THEM.
Or you were fooled.
