Another really excellent book is "Them" by Jon Ronson, a comedian who spends time with various extremist groups. The book is both very funny and more than a little enlightening.
I'd give Rep but I don't know how So how come no Brit over 30 still has their own teeth? (or is that an "urban legend"?) . . . I'll get my coat
There's a novel/anime/manga titled "Welcome to the NHK". Without rambling on, the main character is bat-sh** crazy and believes various things in life are conspiracies setup by the "NHK" (based on the TV network), however he believes the acronym stands for "Nihon Hikkikomori Kyokai" translated to "Japanese Shut-In Association" and that they're plotting to force him to remain trapped in his apartment. EDIT: EndingCredits already answer it. This is what I get for not reading all of the thread first! ...The Masons must have blinded me from the other pages!
It got to "open mind" and I had to stop before getting too worked up. Anything that starts with that automatically sets itself up to say anyone who disagrees simply has a closed mind. Huge warning flag in my mind. Really slick animations, though.
I think they need to spend less money on shiny computer graphics and more on editors... (edit) Concerning the Titanic conspiracy theory, it could pretty easily be put to rest by researching the records of the Olympic's scrapping. She was cut apart for scrap, the damage due to the accident and the repairs thereof should have been painfully obvious. That the conspiracy program didn't pay attention to that is pretty condemning, IMO. (/edit)
Favorite: there's a global secretive organisation with vast resources and huge amounts of manpower that aim to kill westerners by flying airplaines into buildings but will settle for blowing up their own mosques in order to make the whole world so scared that they will start forcing their women to wear scarfs around their heads. We know where they are (caves in afghanistan) but cannot find them in 8 years of occupying that country and they remain operational on a global scale.

The Russian Northern Fleet submarine K-141 'Kursk' was actually sunk by an American torpedo/a collision with an American submarine, and not by the in-tube explosion of a faulty 65-76 'Kit' torpedo.
Two things I believe exist and will happen and yes I am a sad nutter Illuminati exists more than we realise 2012 I am sure something will happen
Well, I think I can agree that in 2012 something will happen: it will be the year 2012, very closely followed by the year 2013.
