pro tip: if you ever think that there might be a secret conspiracy to commit nefarious or illegal deeds, count the number of civilians who would have to keep quiet to keep it under wraps. Once you get to around 10, stop counting. There's no way 10 civilians are going to be able to keep those secrets.

Bingo. That's why I always thought the 9/11 Truthers were nuts. It would take way too many people to pull that off and no way they would all keep it a secret. Someone would break down over the fact that so many innocent American died.

With something on the level of 9/11, I would say that even military and/or CIA people would have a lot of trouble keeping something like that under wraps. I'm sure people like that could keep a lot of things secret but nobody with any morals at all would be willing to keep it secret if the government killed 3000 innocent Americans to achieve some murky political goal.

I think the hardcore "truthers" believe that not that many americans died, or they were robot voices or some ****?

unless the majority of the people involved were not told and details were kept confined to a few individuals.

probably but keep in mind, they probably signed a NDA and so saying anything could be punishable by law. the only people that could possibly agree with killing so many innocent people would probably be Utilitarians. But I've yet to see the good taht came out of the whole incident.

Costanza is that your beauty shot? lol

I seriously doubt that there would be an NDA. If you're trying to do something that secret you don't want a paper trail. I might be worried about a bullet in the head if I said anything, but not a lawsuit or jail time.

The only people who could possibly agree with killing so many innocent people in such a manner would be a sociopath, a zealot, or a person with no moral compass outside of a pathological need to follow orders.

well you have to sign an NDA when you get hired on to the agency so my guess would be that that would be enough.

That it is but if you look at this new show called "Fact or Faked" it shows that it was possible to duplicate some/most of the movements but debunked it because so many people would have to be involved.

Didn't Derek Jeter a huge choker in the playoffs and world series?

You lie to the majority of these people. Only the highest people need to know.

Also, Why the **** have we not gone back to the moon? If lunar rock is worth more than its weight in nubile solid gold virgins, it seems that it would be a somewhat easy program to reboot with mostly off the shelf parts.

Costs $450 million per mission to launch shuttle.

That's just the launch. Not sure on maintenance costs, functionality of lunar modules, return costs, etc...

But if you look at the costs in relation to the military budget...

some one please explain the difference between the Illuminati and the Freemasons and which one was President G.Wash in?

Please don't hurt me. Or close my bank account.

that's what I was telling munchausen over here, that only a few select individuals can be in the know while the majority of peeps are kept in the dark.
