I love conspiracy theories. More to the point, I love laughing at them… Except in the case of all these terrible September 11th theories that just make me sick. If you honestly think that our own government crashed planes into the towers or brought the things down themselves, you’re just insane, and I mean that in all seriousness. You are insane and don’t deserve to share your ideas with anyone. If it’s bothering you that much, why not just leave the country and spare us your diatribe in the process? Oh… You like the freedoms here. Okay.

Anyway, I saw this on Digg (oh boy!) today. The premise of the story all boils down to the fact that someone, somewhere, is trying to (poorly) point out that the reason LSD is illegal is because the CIA discovered it is the anti-mind controlling substance, so to speak, and they couldn’t allow it to interfere with their plans. Haha, right. You have a tiny paragraph at the bottom of your post and we should take your complete and total word for it. Yes, this is how conspiracy theories work. They’re just that! Theories. No proof at all, and what little proof there might be is so subjective anyway, that it might as well not be proof.

Now, the rest of the post seems pretty spot on common sense. Whoever it is talks about drugs, their side effects and what they do, and then talks about how some addictive drugs (sugar, caffeine) are legal and some (cocaine, heroin) aren’t. How some are sponsored and taxed by the government and how some are just flat out illegal. Personally, I don’t think any drug is worth the time it takes to pop one in your mouth. There’s always a side effect to using a chemical drug, and there are almost always natural preventatives to the things you buy pills for. Except maybe a headache, but that’s usually caused by stress or something and is a warning to slow down and rest. If you’re not going to rest, then your brain is going to make you! But now people just pop a pill and keep going and get strokes and heart attacks and other more severe problems. Anyway…

He completely ruins it by saying that the CIA is behind it all as a front for mind control drugs that they’re testing on their own people, and that they banned LSD because it’ll break the affects they’re trying to get. To quote:

LSD is the antithesis of mind control; the CIA discovered this fact and has done everything to keep it top-secret. The government is terrified of LSD becoming available to the masses. People just might think independently, and ignore the government’s propaganda. The last thing the government wants is the people unbinding themselves from their shackles and taking control of their own lives.

The government relies on your perceived dependency to stay in business and stay in control. Therefore as an American you MUST support the War on Drugs or else you are a terrorist. That means keeping drugs illegal, and forcing addicts to pay criminals and terrorists for drugs… how else are we going to fund both sides of the War or Terror?

Way to blow any credibility. Let me get this straight. You’re trying to promote the legal use of drugs such as LSD? What others are you wanting to make legal? It almost sounds like you’re wanting all of them to be legal. Why? Do you have any good reason besides “the government is controlling our brains”? I don’t know about you, but I feel a bit safer knowing that LSD and the like is illegal to obtain. I would prefer not to have to worry about doped up loonies driving on highways when I go to college.

“Well, what about alcohol, GS? That’s as mind-impairing as any of those drugs and it’s legal!” Yes, but, hey, guess what? It didn’t use to be. It is now, though, and I think it’s the most damaging of all mind-impairing drugs because it is legal. By allowing alcohol, true, there is no basis for not allowing these other drugs. But, you know what? I don’t agree with allowing alcohol. If asked, point blank, “GS, do you think alcohol should be illegal?” I will respond, point blank, “You better believe it.”

But there you have it, folks. The CIA banned LSD because it interferes with their mind control plans and propaganda machines designed to force you to do what they want you to do! You heard it here, first! Right on the internet! The source for everything truth! And it has 512 votes on Digg! So it has to be true! More like… 512 people so completely out of touch with reality agree with what the article says, and they want it to become big news. Yeah, well… This isn’t news any more than my site is endorsed by CNN. It’s one of many conspiracy theories, and it’s just as ludicrous as all the others. Only this time, the guy didn’t even bother to show any proof. Way to watch too much X Files.

Here’s a mirror of that website, if you want it and the original link is still down.

I’ve got some interesting radio news clips to post again. I love Tuesday. Got math and I get to hear all the latest crap pouring out of the world for that week. I’ve been busy, so I haven’t listened to the radio as much as I usually do, but this is good enough for now.

First on the list, a commercial. I’m surprised I remembered the acronym they were touting, but I did, and now I can tell you. Pretty much, it starts off with someone listing all the latest technological breakthroughs. I don’t remember them all, but they were pretty common things we all take for granted. I thought maybe it was going to be a commercial for inventors or something. We get those kind of commercials from time to time, but no. That wasn’t it. The narrator finished it all up by asking, “What do all these things have in common? They were invented by African Americans.” And that, my friends, was “oh boy” moment number one. Turns out that it was an advertisement campaign for something called the United Negro College Fund. One of many “for us only” things still in this world.

You know what? I get it. Really, I do. You were treated so inhumanely for so long and you’re trying to get to where things should be. But you know how you can do that? By just being like the rest of us. We honestly don’t care anymore if you’re white or black or whatever you want to politically correctly call yourself. You’re all people and you’re all humans. But you’ve tipped the scales farther than they should be in an attempt to… Do what, exactly? You call everyone out on being racist for negative comments, and yet you continue to promote racism for positive comments. There is no difference! It’s still racism! I’m not being racist in pointing this out, so don’t try to. I’m about as anti-racist as you can be. That’s why I’m pointing this out. If you want to be treated equally, it’s about time you started acting like it and end this trend of setting yourselves apart. We’re ready, but you’re not.

Second on the list, a news clip presented by good ol’ Peter Heck. Basically, there’s been an interesting development in Wisconsin. Apparently, a couple (whether they’re married or not wasn’t mentioned that I know of) has tried to have a baby a few times, but each time, they had a miscarriage. Nasty thing to have happen. Well, the mother-to-be got suspicious when she noticed her boyfriend-of-the-time (whether or not he’s the father, I also don’t know, but it’s not important either) was mixing something into a milkshake of hers. She took it to a laboratory for testing and, hey! Hello. It was laced with a substance called RU-486. Basically, it’s an abortion drug. You can’t get it here without a prescription, but the guy was importing it from his home country, India, and sticking it his girlfriend’s drink and killing her baby.

Very, very disturbing and sad, to say the least. But it gets even better! The man is being charged with, get this. First-degree homicide. Do you know what “homicide” means, exactly? It means “the killing of a human”. Look it up! Dictionary.com, Wikipedia! They both say the same thing. Do you know what “first-degree” means? It means the homicide was planned and intentional. By all definitions, he’s being charged with the premeditated murder of a “fetus”. You know, the early stages of a baby’s development that everyone wants you to think it’s a blob of random tissue that’s perfectly fine to kill in all these abortion clinics around the country. All those “growths” they purge because the mother doesn’t want it anymore. Yeah, that.

By what this man is being charged of, someone has acknowledged that what he did was kill a HUMAN. If he’s found guilty, do you know what that means? It means the courts have determined that this man, who aborted a “fetus” like so many people do, just committed premeditated homicide. That means what he aborted was a human. That thing that people fight SO HARD to make legal to do.

Am I the only one who sees the disgusting hypocrisy here? It’s okay for the mothers to walk into a building and have their baby sucked out and all sorts of evil, evil things done to it to kill it, but it’s NOT okay for a boyfriend to slip in the SAME DRUG THEY USE FOR ABORTIONS into his girlfriend’s drink? It’s called “the right to choice” when a woman has her baby killed, but it’s called “premeditated homicide” when her boyfriend does it? How is there a difference? Homicide means killing a person, right? So which is it? Is the wad of growing fleshy tissue a person or a wad of growing fleshy tissue? Can a baby be murdered in a womb and the person who did it be charged for homicide? Or can they abort the fetus on a whim and have everyone encourage it to be done if it’s inconvenient for those involved?

You can NOT have it both ways. It’s bad enough that abortions are legal, but it’s outright insane and stupid and I can’t even come up with enough heavier synonyms for “moronic” to describe this! It’s illegal for a man to have a baby aborted, but it’s not illegal to have the mother do it? “Oh, but it’s the mother’s body” everyone likes to point out. Is it, really? How does that explain the homicide charges against this man? He clearly didn’t kill the mother. She’s not the victim here, it’s the BABY. The baby is being legally implicated as being a human, otherwise it can’t be homicide.

As Peter said, let’s leave the whole sexist implications completely out of this. Let’s just focus on the fact that a mother can kill a baby without being held responsible for anything. It’s called “abortion” and it’s perfectly legal and everyone gets incredibly upset when you even mention that such a thing is wrong, but in the same breath, it’s called “premeditated homicide” when someone besides the mother aborts a baby. No, then it’s called killing.

It’s no wonder this planet is so screwed up.
