Dunno that I'd call it an attack, but whatever floats yer boat... I mostly ignore TRH's ramblings, but I won't stand down for his antisemitism. I won't stand down in the face of his ludicrous positions on vaccines, fluoride, or other medical issues in which I have considerable expertise and he has none. I could go on, but you get the idea.

I have no idea how "intelligent" he is. I don't know him. I only know what he write on these pages, and it's often misguided, undereducated, overreaching drivel that is unlikely to impress anyone I know who IS intelligent. That being said, I don't know you, and I don't know how intelligent YOU are, so don't take this as an insult. It's not. It's a statement of fact based on the people I know who I consider reasonable and intelligent who have read TRH's opinions and have as low an opinion of his mind as I do.

Speak for yourself. I'm not much of one for conspiracy theories. I like Occam's Razor, and conspiracy theories rarely survive that particular test.

Had Hillary Clinton won or Trump had been a little less popular so that he had been impeached, anyone saying as much would be derided as a “kook and conspiracy theorist”. I could name you half a dozen actual conspiracies that have taken place in the last decade or so that everyone on this board acknowledges as true and believes.

So, while you may not believe in any one particular conspiracy or you may disagree with someone, only an idiot pretends to be superior to those who do at this point.


Who says one is "superior" for not subscribing to conspiracy theories? I sure don't.

Of course, conspiracies exist. People conspire all the time. Criminal conspiracies, too. And it's the job of people who prosecute crimes to root them out and prosecute them, and obtain a conviction in a court of law. But if not proven (or provable/disprovable) in court, and one is not a prosecutor, does believing or disbelieving in them make any difference? I submit it does not. It's a waste of time and energy that could be better spent on thoughts and actions that can improve one's immediate environment. And I for one won't waste my resources on such things.

So... does that make me an idiot? Dunno. Don't care.

"Crank"or “KOOK” is a pejorative term used for a person who holds an unshakable belief that most of his or her contemporaries consider to be false. A crank belief is so wildly at variance with those commonly held that it is considered ludicrous. Wikipedia

the original ship manifest, showed 1, 271 cases of ammunition were actually '1,248 cases of shrapnel'
The 1,248 cases of shrapnel came from the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and their shipping note was a little more specific
than the ship's cargo manifest.

The shipping note, dated 28 April 1915, shows 'consignment number 23' as being '1,248 cases of three-inch calibre shrapnel shells,
filled; four shells to each case'.

It is important to properly understand the difference between a shell and a complete round of munition.
technically the Lusitania was not carrying complete rounds.
The shell, or more properly, 'projectile', weighed 12.5 pounds and contained 234 lead musket balls, forty-one of which combined to
weigh one pound, which were suspended in resin. The projectile itself contained only a small 'burster' charge, designed to discharge
the shrapnel balls in flight.


The fuses carried in eighteen cases as cargo aboard the Lusitania were far from complete fuses and formed part of a mixed
consignment of percussionfuse mechanisms for the British Army's 4.5-inch and 6-inch calibre high explosive shells, and the
13-pounder shrapnel shell. Despite being incomplete, they did contain a small quantity of explosive, which is why all eighteen
cases were stored in the ship's magazine, aft.

It takes intelligence to recognize intelligence.

You yourself just admitted that many conspiracies exist. There is a thin line between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory. I guess the best definition/differentiation of/between the two is that a conspiracy is known and a conspiracy theory is just that...it may or may not exist. But certainly if conspiracies exist, so do conspiracy theories, or should I say, conspiracy theories that are true.

I don't have any stats on how many conspiracy theories turn out to be true, but I think equating intelligence with a lack of belief in conspiracy theories probably won't pan out.

Just because something is simple, doesn't make it true. Not everything fits in the Bell Curve. Not everything can be explained by science.

I don't think studying or considering conspiracy theories makes a person weak minded. It's good to look at things from every angle. But you can tell the weak minded because they will take a theory, and tell everyone it is FACT. And when you call them on it, they just tell you, you're uninformed.

When in reality you're not uninformed, you're just unconvinced. Two very different things.

Never really dated her, but there was a girl I knew in high school who was 1/2 Iranian. Father was an American in the oil business and Mother was Iranian. Striking, exotic girl, and very nice, too. That was before the accursed revolution. Hopefully, her father got her out.

It’s funny that the Lusitania was brought up. It is an example of how much history has been distorted to show a particular point of view. Conventional history tells us the the sinking of the Lusitania was a significant event in the turning of American public opinion towards war with Germany two years later, and in hindsight maybe it seemed that way. Yet, events of the time tell a little different story.

In 1916 the German merchant submarine the Deutschland made a trip to America. The crew were greeted like conquering heroes. They were given parades, the captain made speeches all over, the crew basically didn’t have to buy a drink the entire time they were here, and they got a rousing sendoff from docks lined with spectators and well wisheres when they left. The captain almost had a diner at the Whitehouse that only got scrubbed after protests from British and French officials.

And all of this happened less than a year after Americans were outraged by German submarine warfare and the alleged turning of public opinion against them.

The democrats have been covering up and stalling for time for 2.5 years. We know what was done. We know they will let illegals and the dead vote plus the voting machines are rigged. We know they are trying to take over the electoral voting as well. We know if they do not pay and Trump loses in 2020 then that is the end of the USA. The socialist will destroy America we had for the last 250+ years.
