On the subject of Why People Believe Weird Things, why do people think word check will correct all their (not there or they’re, BTW) spelling bloopers (“..how east it is to fool the brain” Yes, it is!). And why is it that even though i carefully review everything i write before releasing it, those kind of errors always show up when it’s too late!

Hmmmm, guess you won’t be sending the same best wishes to the panel you so rudely interrupted during DragonCon. Especially since you used the occasion to plug your crappy new book.

David Schrader only does what is good for David Schrader pure and simple. Here is a gent who has a real honest to goodness radio show and he believes it makes him a celebrity. When he is not disrupting speakers during their presentation with inappropriate humor, he is arguing with those involved in a panel discussion while he is sitting in the audience. It is bad enough to put up with the likes of Chip Coffey and Christopher Moon but Schrader is in a class by himself. By the way, he has failed that class several times and will hopefully be put back a couple of years

All right, so you tell Bill to investigate it himself, and he goes straight to prisonplanet.com. Or chances are, he’s already been there and just sees your comment as a defensive cop-out.

Now, I’m interested whether “Michael says anyone who believes False Flag operations are real is nothing more than a Conspiracy Nut.” Where did he say this? If he really couldn’t name one true false flag operation, that’s a shame.

“investigate them yourself” wasn’t the complete point that i made. i thought my own point was pretty clear, even if bill’s wasn’t.

bill’s assuming shermer’s position on black flag ops is a blatant hijack of this topic.

i made nor make no such assumption about shermer’s position on an off-topic topic — i’ll just stick with if it’s that important to bill to be topic-hijack worthy, he should investigate it himself.

cheers!

Bill claims that Shermer won’t seriously investigate any alleged false flag operations because he’s convinced that they all exist only in the minds of Conspiracy Nuts.

“Investigate them yourself” doesn’t really address this claim, and almost accepts it as being true.

Just recently, Shermer posted that “Conspiracies do happen, of course.”

in the first sentence of his OP, bill says shermer is skeptical of everything except false flag ops.

in his last sentence he says shermer thinks anyone who thinks false flag ops are real is a conspiracy nut.

so tell me, max – what is his point?

Hey Mike, I saw the “Mr Diety” bit and I got to say first good job. Now I know what I’m going to say if faced with that. Second, not to embarrass you, but I noticed the hairline is making a beeline for your behind. You are not alone. I suggest that you shave your head and grow a goatee. With this new “satanic” look you could scare the crap out of the believers.

I wonder which Intelligence Agency Michael works for?

If he denies that the Moscow apartment bombings were an FSB false flag operation, then I guess he works for the FSB.
