This "End of the world" hype is one reason why I'm really looking forward to 2012. It's going to be so much fun! Will the NWO grant us a zombie apocalypse if we ask really nicely?xelabale wrote:2012 is definitely going to be a cataclysmic year - the Olympics in London??? Brother

But the question I've been asking is how do their supposed actions help them gain power in the event of a cataclysm (which they fortunately survive)? How does putting fluoride in the water, collapsing the banking system and poisoning people with contrails help the NWO to take control post-apocalypse?TheProwler wrote:Carebian Knight made an excellent post. He summarized the answer into a perfect format, easy for all to understand.
So you have your answer xelabale. Why not just STFU now?
Seriously, you disbelievers spend more time and energy not worrying about it than I ever spent worrying about it.

Bollocks, they are said to be causing it.Carebian Knight wrote:This argument has descended into an “I’m right and your wrong” stage. Fortunately that’s the part I like best.
@Woodruff: Most of the posts by the so called “conspirators” are aimed toward why the NWO doesn’t want to lose power. So why do you constantly ask why they would want to, when the opposite has already been said? They have said that the NWO is simply planning for the future in case the highly believed 2012 prophecy comes true.
Incorrect...the conspiracy theorists here are largely stating that the NWO IS DOING THESE THINGS that will cause them to lose power (use of nuclear weapons, for instance).Carebian Knight wrote: @Woodruff: Most of the posts by the so called “conspirators” are aimed toward why the NWO doesn’t want to lose power.

They have no control over natural disasters and just about everything is predicted to happen, not just by “conspiracy theorists” but by trusted scientists as well.
Oh, I'd be very willing to take up that mantle (of course, there's no way to prove anything in that regard, so...). I feel very confident that MOST (I certainly wouldn't say all) do not have my education level either in real world experience nor in the educational system.Carebian Knight wrote:Want to bet how many of them are more educated than you?
I accept that sometimes faith and belief is all you have to go on, and I respect that. Heck, that's what religion is in its entirety. What I DON'T respect is people who are telling me that I'M WRONG (definitively) when all THEY have to go on is faith and belief...that I do NOT respect, nor should anyone. If someone is going to tell me that I am wrong, then I'm going to ask for proof. If they fail to provide proof, then they will be treated as they well deserve.Carebian Knight wrote:Your need for fact for everything is going to kill you someday. Fact isn’t always the answer, sounds odd doesn’t it, and isn’t always available. Sometimes faith and belief is all you have to go on.
Facts today don't come through the media unless you're an idiot. I am not an idiot. Should I presume that you are, or have I misunderstood you? I'm pretty sure the media HATES facts, now that I think on it.Carebian Knight wrote:Facts today come mostly through the media(need I say more?)
The only people I've seen saying the NWO would use these weapons are the ones that don't believe the theory. I know jay has already said that nukes will be used, but not by the NWO. Please point out the post where one of the theorists said that the NWO would use nukes.Woodruff wrote:Incorrect...the conspiracy theorists here are largely stating that the NWO IS DOING THESE THINGS that will cause them to lose power (use of nuclear weapons, for instance).

Let me clarify that. Most people here will agree the media is useless to find anything dependable. Your facts come from someone else, right? How dependable is that person and how dependable is the person they got it from? Keep going down the list to the first source. How many times has that "fact" changed? I'll agree that most competent people could find something good enough to pass for fact, but how much can you trust something that you weren't there to witness or haven't figured out yourself? Everything that you find on the internet has to come with some faith and belief.Woodruff wrote:Facts today don't come through the media unless you're an idiot. I am not an idiot.

If all they have is faith and belief, then they can't tell me definitively that I am wrong, because they simply CANNOT KNOW DEFINITIVELY.Carebian Knight wrote:How can they provide proof if all they have is faith and belief?Woodruff wrote:I accept that sometimes faith and belief is all you have to go on, and I respect that.

If I'm following, what you mean to say is, "Most things the general public believes to be fact are derived by statements that are quite often intentional miss information placed in public media."Carebian Knight wrote: Facts today come mostly through the media(need I say more?)

If it's something I actually CARE GREATLY about, yes...I check every fact.Carebian Knight wrote: @Woodruff: True, real facts simply are. These facts can also be easily construed when told to someone else. Take for example 314x345, simple math for anyone that cares to work it out. Leave out one number though when you say the answer or say it wrong and most people would take for granted that you are right. Few today would actually check it. If you missed the first problem and someone just told you the incorrect answer and you were to use it in another problem, your answer would be off. Keep going with just the first incorrect answer and your final answer could be way off. You made no mistake, but your original fact was incorrect. Can you honestly say you check every fact you receive?
Dude, that's verging on being ridiculous.Woodruff wrote:If it's something I actually CARE GREATLY about, yes...I check every fact.

WTH?GabonX wrote:thanks a lot prowler now I don't know what to believe
Of course not...you're the one being ridiculous here. My point was that I certainly don't rely on someone or some thing (such as the media) to tell me what the fact is...I research it. By researching it, I see who (scientist-wise) agrees with the finding and who doesn't, at which point IF it is indeed a fact, then it becomes apparent. If it is NOT indeed a clear fact, then there will be lots of disagreement and speculation. It's really quite a simple process.TheProwler wrote:Dude, that's verging on being ridiculous.Woodruff wrote:If it's something I actually CARE GREATLY about, yes...I check every fact.
You don't have to time or ability or resources.
If a component of a "fact" is the result of an expensive scientific experiment, are you trying to tell us that you redo the experiment in case the original scientists made a mistake?
Of course...that's what science IS.TheProwler wrote:Our "facts" are built on building blocks of other "facts". At times, we discover that a proven "fact" was actually misunderstood and proofs of several (or many) other "facts" come tumbling down.

Duh, that's science. That's why, for instance, it's called the THEORY of gravity, not the FACT of gravity.TheProwler wrote:So a "fact" isn't necessarily a fact.

So you would agree that you can't say we're wrong since you can't prove anything DEFINITIVELY, including even the most basic "facts" of our world.Woodruff wrote:Duh, that's science.

But there are some things that we can readily treat as actual facts.
Hell, nobody can even PROVE that the world isn't just a figment of their own imagination and nothing actually exists outside of their mind.
