View Full Version : Bill Maher heckled by 9/11 conspiracy whackaloonies.

Was anyone watching his show tonight? A few weeks back, Bill told these headcases to stop trying to get him to support their inane ideas about 9/11 being an inside job and apparently some them decided to get even. A few of them were in the crowd tonight and they started shouting and protesting in the middle of his program, and Bill got so pissed that he went into the crowd to deal with them himself. Thankfully some security guards came out and intervened before things got out of hand. Rather shocking to see that happen live.

I still like the South Park take on 9/11 conspiracies.
1) The gubment wanted to keep the conspiracies going, to make them seem more fearful and vastly in control, when in fact they didn't do anything and were actually clumsy idiots.
2) If it was real, it would have been the most complicated and flawlessly executed plan ever created.
:lol:
South Park knocks another episode out of the park. :D

That episode is titled "musings of a cigarrette smoking man". I actually think that the lone gunman were off in reconstructing his past. c.g.b. spender could have blown their brains out with the scope rifle if he felt they actually knew too much about him. They were good theories though. What made me laugh was when c.g.b. said that as long as he's in power the buffalo bills will never win a super bowl.

An excellent point, if a blow job in the Oval Office can't be kept secret, then how on would a massively intricate plot involved countless accomplices ever be pulled off?
The South Park episode where they theorised that Bush wanted people to believe it was a conspiracy because it made him look all powerful and super in charge, when in fact it was all a massive balls up and he hadn't controlled anything.
Ug, and the moon landing conspiracy thing is also a pain in my gooch. :lol:
However, I do think the JFK thing was f*cking shady-as. A far simpler issue - shoot a person dead, bosh, done.
Puff of smoke, the magic bullet - all sounds shady as a two dollar whore's chin, mate. :D
...
I'd say in this day and age it'd be harder than all hell to pull of a conspiracy, especially 9/11 size. The immediacy of data transfer, moles, spies, leaks, 24 hour media, practically every member of the public having a camera phone, video camera or whatever when sh*t kicks off...I think it's just way too hard to cover stuff up in the Western World these days.
Places like China though ... woahhhhh *grabs a barge pole* :sneaky: ... I'm not about to be Jack Bauer'd! :eek:

I read the points debunkers made showing the reasons why the landings were 'fake', and then invested the time looking them up. There's not really a single point that the 'debunkers' make that cannot be completely explained.
Worse still:-
1) Some actually suggest NASA are guilty of outright murder.
2) They are suggesting some rather brave men (who were involved in those early space flights) are nothing but liars.

That's a great clip, Neil. I do think conspiracy theorists invest too much of themselves in their search for truth and that can lead to zealotry.
I do, however, believe that there are things that we are not being told about 9/11 and the government ,as always, is being extremely shady about it. Also, most of the skeptical debunking that gets done are more about the myths of what people think 9/11 conspiracy theorists are claiming or the outright crazysh1t people pull together, as opposed to a lot of the more erudite unanswered questions posited.

Surely it's not paranoid, however, to acknowledge that disinformation tactics are also being employed -- i.e. spread a deliberately bogus conspiracy theory so that people will point to any and all questioning of the official story as "conspiracy theory lunacy."
It's a classic case of shoot the messenger, and obviously it has worked with many people.

Still don't change the fact that the footage is as dodgy as f**k and that there are many well presented arguments. Hell, they still haven't managed to capture a post-landing pic of any of the abandoned lunar buggies be it Hubble or some other telescopic. I'm not saying that I don't believe that NASA went to the moon but I sure as s**t don't believe what's said in the news.
Same with 9/11, again I'm not waving the conspiracy flag but a simple fire would not have demolished WTC7 to rubble. It simply isn't possible.

I don't trust the government a damned bit whether it's about 9/11, the Jonestown massacre, the assassinations of JFK, RFK or MLK Jr., or the moon landing.
The fact of the matter is, our elections are rigged, our media is controlled by the state department, the executive and legislative branch are controlled by K-street lobbyists, who in turn, take marching orders from the federal reserve and multi-national corporate entities, and the supreme court are compromised partisan appointees.
But as for the 9/11 and 7/7 bombings, I don't buy the "official" story whatsoever, just like I don't buy the propaganda about the IRA bombings in London during the 80s.
The sad truth is, Hitler burned down his own Reichstag and blamed it on the communists, and secured power with the enabling act (similar to Bush's patriot act).
The sad truth is, the germans put an ad in the New York times warning the United States from shipping arms to Great Britain because it went against neutrality laws. The Lusitania went ahead and shipped arms anyway and was destroyed by germans vessels. Woodrow Wilson knew the American people wanted neutrality and sacrificed hundreds of American lives just for justification to enter World War I.
Two weeks before the "surprise" attack on Pearl Harbor, the admiral of the Pacific fleet warned Roosevelt that the Japanese fleet was approaching Hawaii and that military intelligence cracked and decyphered Japanese communications and determined that an attack on Hawaii was on the way. Roosevelt basically ordered a stand down and allowed the pacific fleet to be destroyed. Once again, to get isolationist Americans to sign off on another war, this time WWII.
Then you have Operation: Northwoods, secretary McNamara's top secret memo about CIA operatives highjacking American planes and flying them into buildings, and other acts of domestic terrorism, so the Kennedy administration could blame it on Fidel Castro and Cuba, thus securing the way for an all out assault on Cuba.
Then you have the hundreds of blacks the CIA infected with Syphilis in a cold war experiment on biological agents to be used in warfare. Of course, you also have MK-Ultra and the "LCD in your coffee" programs in which former Nazi scientists (given immunity by Truman) gave civilian volunteers, mental patients, prisoners and servicemen pyschotropic drugs and used various forms of behaviorial modification, suggestive thought and mind control on them.
That's just a few things governments have done to their own people in order to progress the agenda of the military, prison and corporate industrial complex.
If you don't think your government is capable (and more than willing) to slaughter its own people (say three thousand) to advance the agenda of the criminal elite (the people who actually run the show) then you really are naive.
Some people just happily swallow the crap that the government tries to spoon feed them. I guess that old saying is true, "Never underestimate the power of denial."

Out of interest, what are the 'well presented arguments'?
As for a picture of the post-landing site, unfortunately even the hubble can only resolve details down to something like 60 meters on the moon, so finding a lander or buggie (at the moment) is not possible.

This is a poor argument:
"Imagine the difficulty in fabricating the Lunar missions of the 1960's and then trying to keep the truth a secret. There were thousands of people involved in the missions and millions watched the events live on television. How could so many people be taken in? How could NASA ensure the silence of all those involved? Surely someone would have leaked the secret. It would only take one disgruntled NASA employee to go to the press and the whole thing would have been exposed."
It's a logical fallacy to assume that if there was a cover-up, everyone involved in the mission would have been in on it. This presupposes to know exactly how conspiracies work, and that all conspiracies must work in exactly the same way--i.e. everyone involved must be in on the secret.
For reference, where is the scientific data that demonstrates how a conspiracy works? It probably doesn't exist because we're typically led to believe that there are no conspiracies, only conspiracy theorists.
By the same token, it's also a weak argument to assume that a single person going to the press would have exposed a hoax. How many examples can you find of wrong-doing being exposed by a single whistle-blower? In reality, that person would have been labeled a "conspiracy theory looney."
"It is quite revealing that conspiracy theorists never take an unbiased approach in presenting their theories. They never consider alternatives or entertain objections to their claims. They speak in an authoritative fashion and present their views as accepted scientific research. But as rational human beings, we should not let ourselves be convinced so easily."
This is brilliant: a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theorists! It's us "rational human beings" vs. them, those who simply must be irrational by comparison.

Ok it may have sounded cynical....but what I'm getting at really is that there are many, many other places for man to explore than space. Like whhhhhhat? I hear you cry...
Like inner space,....namely the space between the couch potato's ears!!! I think we as a species are wholly unevovled, we're a travesty of spiiritless zombies (haha)....I think, personally, that the void between our souls and our physical beings (using the word soul purely as adescriptive term for the potential of our species and in no religious sense) is so great that had we spent more time, like the buddhists, taoists etc, exploring the potential of our great civilisation to make a utopian world where every man is craeted equal, we'd live in a much better world...
IN short, I'm saying - sort the **** out in our own back gardens then explore the depths of space....eliminate dictatorships, eliminate poverty, inequality, discrimination,...instill respect, appreciation of the beauty of this planet, harmony with the creation that we are so lucky to experience....
No cynicism there, actually ti could be called over bearing hippie idealogy....yes we can achieve so much on the technological and art front...but we could achieve SO much more by exploring and conquering inner space.

the moon landings nuts my least favorite bunch of morons on planet earth.
1-the doppler effect on the radio signals between houston and the lunar spacecraft cannot be faked.
2- there were literally thousands of amateur astronomy nuts watching the trans-lunar injection burns (where the orbit of the spacecraft was changed from an earth orbit to a lunar one) with their telescopes
3- the radiation arguement is total garbage. Van Allen himself said on many occasions that the folks trying to use that arguement didn't know what they were talking about or were intentionally mucking facts.
4- of course there were no stars in the sky-it was full DAY. do you see stars in the sky when it is daylight on earth? the sky is black because there is no atomsphere to scatter light.
5- there were two light sources shining on the moon as well- the sun and the huge amounts of light being reflected from the earth to the surface of the moon.
6- the moon is not the earth. 20% gravity and the lack of an atomsphere make things behave very, very differently.
7-why fake a total and complete disaster like apollo 13?
8- armstrong, et al. go silent because it is simply no use trying to talk or reason with conspiracy nuts.
9-the craziest thing said by a lunar conspiracy nut is that the stars would've been in the wrong place if they had been faked. this is totally crazy. the position of the stars/constellations is exactly the same on the moon. as a matter of fact, the constellations look the same and are in pretty much the same position if viewed from ALPHA/BETA CENTAURI which is 4.5 LIGHT YEARS away. again the moons surface was in full daylight and the light of reflected from the earth.

For a long time, I think the only 'lunar conspiracy theory' I never found an explanantion to was that some of the photos there appeared to be 'fall-off'. ie: The local area around the astronauts are lit up, but further away they is not. It almost appears as if there is a source of light just in the local area. Now the only light source was the sun, so the light across the surface should basically be even...
It's all explained though. eg: - http://www.clavius.org/manmoon.html

Were there lights on the camera equipment or on the craft itself?

I have absolutely no time for any sort of conspiracy theories. Sure there are conspiracies large and small in this world but all the ones people keep on about (9/11, JFK, moon landings etc.) sound like absolute crap.
Funny video by the way.

Neither... There were no artificial lights...

Fill me in.....
Regarding these crazy people who believe the moon landing was fake....do these people address the undeniable soviet robot landing on the moon that occured before the "allegded" manned landing of the US?....(which was one of the primary events that caused the US to "require" a manned mission ["one uping" the competition].....
Additionally if it was fake wouldnt the Soviets of the time be the first to accuse the US of faking it....Where were these radio signals coming from that humans and governments of the world had to orient their devices "upward" to recieve information....(jeeze where to start with these people....I guess they need science lessons all over again to begin to understand why many of these things could not of been faked at the time)
Furthermore do they address the physical evidence left on the moon from these manned missions?
Some claims can be empirically discredited by three retroreflector arrays left on the Moon by Apollo 11, 14 and 15. Today, anyone on Earth with an appropriate laser and telescope system may bounce laser beams off these devices, verifying deployment of the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment at historically documented Apollo moon landing sites.
Or what about the evidence returned from the moon landings.....the moon rocks brought back....
I mean hell....if its fake it has long ago gotten into the territory that it wouldve been far easier and cheaper to actually land on the moon than continuing the farce....

The argument(s) they'll fall back to are only robot missions went to the moon, not manned, and that the pictures of man on the moon are fake...
I cannot find a single argument for the lunax hoax theory that holds any water, yet people continue to 'blindly' support it :clown:
