Of course there have been 'sacrifices' to Satan, but that doesn't show that any particular incident was!

You folks who push all these conspiracy theories don't seem to understand how 'proof' works.

*I* can invent 27 silly, but vaguely plausible, theories about world events which are internally consistent IF you accept my premises, and dare YOU do disprove them.

It takes ENORMOUS amounts of time to 'prove' negatives, and at the end, one can just say, "oh, you are just not reading the data correctly."

Remember the 100MPG carburetor? And dead aliens in Roswell? "They are just being hidden by the govt./oil companies"

The point is, if there never was any such thing, and you claim it is just hidden, it can't BE disproved!

"Proof" is not concocting an interesting claim that only stands if you accept some premises in one way that can easily be explained in OTHER ways! Proof is showing that it can ONLY be one way.

This Alex Jones is so far from being 95% correct that it boggles the mind that anyone would give credence to his bellowings!

.....and, there was a LONG discussion about other ways to explain the 9/11 building destructions...based on physics, not wild, complex notions about planted explosives.
