  • Clearinghouse for crazies.....

    One of the things I try to do is to see all types of viewpoints.  I do not necessarily subscribe to some of them, but it is interesting to see the direction some people's thinking takes.

    One of the places I go to hit a wide variety of.....um....unconventional viewpoints is the website Before Its News  http://beforeitsnews.com.

    This is a website where anyone can upload whatever is currently ringing their bell.  It's rather eclectic but it is extensive.

    Some of the subjects are recurring such is Obama was not born in the USA, HARP is being used to manipulate the weather (ie every storm is a government plot), Planet X or Niburu is going to crash into planet Earth ending life as we know it, proof of aliens has been covered up by the US government, Rand Paul will save us all, the Russian army is in America and about to launch a coup, various wild/mythical/giant creatures have been definitively proven to exist, FEMA is stockpiling guns, ammo and caskets for the coming revolution in America which will be sparked when the President creates a "false flag event" (created event in order to declare martial law).  Oh, and the Newtown shooting did not actually occur; those were actors.

    This site is quite busy with new articles abounding every day. 

    I enjoy reading the articles, although I will say that the "actors in Newtown" thread angered me.

    The part I really enjoy is when individuals take the authors/creators of these articles, videos, maps, etc to task for the brainlessness of their entries.  It's rather amusing.

    What's really amusing is when the conspiracy folks go after each other.  Even Jesse Ventura took after some of the folks uploading their material.

    Interestingly enough, when people try to point out the errors in these articles, the authors/creators see that as signs that their articles must be correct.  If they were not, who would challenge them?

    It's nice to know that the First Amendment provides for types of websites such as these. 

    The public needs a clearinghouse for crazies.
