He believes the current government interest in health is driven by the desire to have readily available healthy organs ready for future harvest by politicians and the rich. According to him, the smokers and obese being an economic burden is hogwash because they cut their lives short (thereby avoiding long-term and expensive health care) and because the medical establishment is not interested in saving their lives if theyre not covered by insurance. He also believes that if a major famine hits, healthy people will be eaten.
I also work with a guy who firmly believes Tupac is still alive and faked his death to get out of the thug life.
Another coworker refuses to vote because she believes the outcome has been predetermined. She said she voted before for people and issues that lost, everyone she asked also voted practically the same as she did, therefore, based upon her impromptu poll, voting must be rigged.

I am dead-certain that FDR knew that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked - but did NOT know that torpedoes dropped from airplanes could be used at PH, NOR that the Japanese had modified battleship shells into aerial AP bombs, so allowed the attack to go ahead, convinced that the old battlewagons could not be seriously hurt...
In a similar vein, here's a two'fer; I bought a roll of heavyweight tinfoil when I heard these. The .gov knew about the pending attack of Sep 11th, did nothing to stop it, and then used it for political advantage. >switch on Darth Vader voice< "Did Bush follow in the footsteps of FDR? Only history will show!" >voice off<
Separately, the Pentagon was hit by a destructive missile not a passenger jet, this one is even searchable on the internet. The claim is "supported" by an almost credible lack of debris from the aircraft. On the other hand, it doesn't explain where the forth airliner went. Maybe it's still flying in the Twilight Zone?

Who hired James Earl Ray? Choosing martyrdom over ignominy, Martin Luther King hired Ray upon learning that he would soon die of a disease acquired from a woman not his wife (or a man?) The true conspiracy in the death of MLKJr. is not in the shooting, it is in the sanitizing of medical records and autopsy results.

The gist is that Earth was "seeded" by aliens millenia ago, and now that alien seed is coming to the forefront, resulting in children with amazing alien powers. These children are highly intelligent, and frequently are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and autism, among other things.

"Indigo" children, named for the color of their unique auras.
See, they are "special" and "gifted", not normal kids poorly parented.

how to recognize the Indigo Child
The Indigo Child is recognizable by his or her aura and by certain other traits, according to The Indigo Children website (owned by Kryon Writings).
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

I guided him thru a short history of reconstruction and the difference between Nathan Bedford and U Grant
...He was SHOCKED & didn't believe the NRA was founded by Union officers and Lincoln was not a Dem, that the KKK were the Dem's.
He pointed his finger at me and told me how "Katrina followed the same path as the slave ships"
then stormed off.
I guess thats a conspiracy theory...only what one I was to confused to ask.

Then there is the contrails, which:
Distribute mass inoculations to some unknown disease, or
Distribute components of some unknown disease
My favorite theory is that any alien research or remains have been removed from Area 51 to a Biochem warfare base located in a remote part of Utah. This is where tons of contaminated have been moved to as well because the base is supposed to be free from EPA inspections and regs due to the top secret nature of the base. It is also has less chance of people wanting to sneak in due to the chems and bio hazards in the place.

Some place it there, but many "new Area 51" theorists place it in eastern Utah. I can't remember exactly where. I think it might have been the Green River Complex near Helper. There is a 1.5 mile long airstrip out there, certainly long enough for some of the larger military aircraft. But it being the new Area 51, I highly doubt.

In the aftermath of the 2000 election, a local "African" * talk show host thought it was mighty suspicious that Pres.-elect Bush's father had previously been the head of the Secret Police (the CIA). I called to ask her why the sitting Pres. and Veep wouldn't have more secret influence on elections, but she just screamed at me and hung up.
*Yeah, that's right, African. She doesn't want to be called Black or American, even though she was born here.

Honestly, I've always thought Area 51 was a case of smoke and mirrors. Could there be some kind of government research about aliens, possibly including remains of such? Sure... it's possible. If there is, I doubt Area 51 has ever been involved: I think it's meant to distract the populace (and any possible foreign agents) from wherever the actual site is...
That's right on the money. Area 51 is probably the worst kept "secret" base in the world. It's ironically the best known military facility aside from the Pentagon itself. For many decades sightseers could go to a nearby mountain and look at the jets with telescopes. Anything the DOD flew out of there they WANTED people to see. The real secret bases are, of course, secret. But try telling some of the Art Bell crowd that and they turn violent
