The Agonist - Unproven Stories

follow me down the rabbit hole

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:30:19 -0700

i remember posting the question a few months back when the catholic church decided it was necessary to announce that you can believe in both gOD and aliens. i remember asking "what's coming, what are they preparing for?"

well, i think i know now. the entire purpose of the pheonix mission is to find out if life could, or does exist on mars. if the average person were to suddenly find out that life does in fact exist, or had existed at one time on a foreign planet, they would no longer be able to rationalize christianity. christianity doesn't allow for life on other planets. the bible clearly says....

Bush 'may convert to Catholicism' (Rumor)

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:18:18 -0700

Peter Popham | Rome | June 14

The Independent - President George Bush was given such a splendid welcome by Pope Benedict XVI yesterday that rumours started flying that the President, like Tony Blair before him, was on the verge of converting to Catholicism.

It was a Vatican visit such as no other head of state has ever enjoyed. Instead of greeting him, like all previous high-ranking visitors, in the papal library of the Apostolic Palace, the Pope took Mr Bush round the medieval St John's Tower then gave him a tour of the Vatican gardens, culminating in a brief open-air concert by the Sistine Chapel Choir.

"Killeroos" Escape Aussie Military Compound

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 01:38:53 -0700

By Phil O'Leary, Military Correspondent

Sydney (Morning Wallaby) - Hopping mad and looking for revenge, a pair of weaponized kangaroos escaped a secret military compound outside Sydney, Australia Sunday evening.

Authorities remained mum on the subject, but a nearby barkeep was more than happy to oblige.

"We wuz chock-a-block with customers, mate, when all of a sudden, in barges these two surly buggin' roo's. I asks 'em what they want, and you should'a seen the look they gave me...alls me regulars starts creepin' out the back, an' I feels a trickle of sweat drip right down me mug."

The barkeep, Bud "Sharktooth" O'Mally, stood his ground, refusing to serve the rogue marsupials, who eventually took the hint and buggered off.

(disproven story) Brit spies confirm Dalai Lama's report of staged violence?

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 05:25:55 -0700

Gordon Thomas | London | March 21

Canada Free Press - Britain's GCHQ, the government communications agency that electronically monitors half the world from space, has confirmed the claim by the Dalai Lama that agents of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the PLA, posing as monks, triggered the riots that have left hundreds of Tibetans dead or injured.

GCHQ analysts believe the decision was deliberately calculated by the Beijing leadership to provide an excuse to stamp out the simmering unrest in the region, which is already attracting unwelcome world attention in the run-up to the Olympic Games this summer.

For weeks there has been growing resentment in Lhasa, Tibet's capital, against minor actions taken by the Chinese authorities.

For the 9/11 skeptics still around: great article

Spitzer's Mouthpiece Has His Own Secrets to Hide

...But from this reporter’s perspective it is Dieter Snell himself who ought to be in the hot seat answering questions, not about a petty state corruption probe but questions that go to the heart of the greatest mass murder in U.S. history: 9/11.

It was just four years ago Saturday, March 15th, 2004, when Snell led me into a windowless conference room at 26 Federal Plaza, the building that houses the FBI’s New York Office (NYO). It w

'JFK assassination plot' papers found in Dallas safe

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:48:30 -0800

James Orr | February 18

The Guardian - A transcript claiming to detail Lee Harvey Oswald's plot to assassinate President John F Kennedy has been discovered in an old courtroom safe.

The record – described as reading like a conspiracy theorist's dream - appears to minute talks between Oswald and Jack Ruby, who killed Oswald after Kennedy's assassination.

Today, the Dallas County district attorney's office said other documents found included letters from former district attorney Henry Wade, the prosecuting lawyer in Ruby's trial.

But the apparent record of the conversation between Oswald and Ruby was probably fake, said the district attorney, Craig Watkins, and was instead likely to be long-forgotten material for a proposed film.

Oswald says in the transcript: "I can still do it, all I need is my rifle and a tall building; but it will take time, maybe six months to find the right place; but I'll have to have some money to live on while I do the planning."

The evils of Digital TV

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 19:25:30 -0800

This is the official sappy government FCC site touting the "benefits" of digital TV.
http://www.dtv.gov/

Note all of the marketing hype. I can become a "DTV Deputy". I can get info in spanish. Note how the entire site is geared towards the simplemindedness of a five year old. To me at least it is chock full of subliminals diverting your focus away from the Satanicness it will bring. In order to get to this let's click on the FAQ section on the left, that stupid looking TV remote control. After that go to Why are we switching to digital TV. Here is the answer.

"An important benefit of the switch to all-digital broadcasting is that it will free up parts of the valuable broadcast spectrum for public safety communications (such as police, fire departments, and rescue squads). Also, some of the spectrum will be auctioned to companies that will be able to provide consumers with more advanced wireless services (such as wireless broadband). "

Al Jazeera Cameraman to be freed from Guantanamo?

Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:21:28 -0800

Cuba | January 14

Sami al-Hajj has been held as an ''enemy combatant'' by the US forces since 2001. He has never been charged. He is one of about 20 prisoners who have carried out hunger strikes in protest of their imprisonment and treatment at the US jail. Asma Ismailov, the wife of Sami al-Hajj, the Al-Jazeera cameraman held in Guantanamo Bay, has said that she has been told he is to be freed.

Al-Hajj has been held as an "enemy combatant" by the US forces since 2001.

Lord, I hope this is true, but it hasn't yet been reported elsewhere.

Spank Your Satan!

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 08:45:54 -0800

I smell a video game.

The Pope has ordered his bishops to set up exorcism squads to tackle the rise of Satanism.

Vatican chiefs are concerned at what they see as an increased interest in the occult.

They have introduced courses for priests to combat what they call the most extreme form of "Godlessness."

Each bishop is to be told to have in his diocese a number of priests trained to fight demonic possession.

Daily Mail

This year Vatican Entertainment(TM) will release GodSquad 2008, which will feature a team of crack Vatican exorcists armed with a variety of weapons, from the ever-popular BFG (Biggus Fictitious Godsmackdownus) to the new HST (Holy Shit Taser), which packs a wholloping 500,000 Watts of sin-cleansing, demon-detonating, Papal-approved power.

US Nuked Syria?

Sat, 03 Nov 2007 18:03:59 -0700

Rather serious if true:

The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a suspected nuclear site under construction.

Low Buzz May Give Mice Better Bones and Less Fat

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:33:37 -0700

Gina Kolata | October 30

NYT - Dr. Clinton Rubin, director of the Center for Biotechnology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, is reporting that in mice, a simple treatment that does not involve drugs appears to be directing cells to turn into bone instead of fat.

All he does is put mice on a platform that buzzes at such a low frequency that some people cannot even feel it. The mice stand there for 15 minutes a day, five days a week. Afterward, they have 27 percent less fat than mice that did not stand on the platform — and correspondingly more bone.

To Form A More Perfect Union

There is no mind/body split, nor any body/planet split, nor any Creation/planet split. As sure as the butterfly effect, everything is connected. Reality and it's consequences are their own record as sure as that in the light, as well as the radio waves, that emanates out from Earth every day.
That which is hidden is known to be hidden; the lump in the rug betrays itself. We see things as they plainly are.
To be at peace and productive and healthy, we must have civilization, between ourselves, and other nations, and with Earth herself. Earth on it's own is a model of self-cooperation, another aspect of Evolution Darwin apparently didn't emphasize (if noted at all).

UMass professor supports 9/11 conspiracy theory

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 04:21:30 -0700

Alexandra Neale | September 20

The Smith College Sophian - "I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new thorough and impartial investigation be undertaken."

Conspiracy theories have become commonplace in the American social landscape. Many have heard about the "second shooter" in Dallas in Nov. 1963 or about the "fake" Apollo moon landing of 1969. However, there is a powerful and growing movement of people who question the official version of events of Sept. 11, 2001.

One of the many critical voices is Lynn Margulis, geosciences professor at UMass. She recently made local news when she published a statement on www.PatriotsQuestion911.com, decrying the government's involvement in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"The 9/11 tragedy is the most successful and most perverse publicity stunt in the history of public relations," wrote Margulis in her statement on www.PatriotsQuestion911.com.

No crackpot, she. -ww

Thousands Commemorate 1947 UFO 'Crash'

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 10:37:04 -0700

Mark Evans

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) -- If you truly believe a UFO and its crew of bug-eyed aliens came crashing down here 60 years ago, rest assured: You're not alone. At least 35,000 people have descended on Roswell this weekend for the 2007 Amazing Roswell UFO Festival to commemorate a purported flying saucer crash on a nearby ranch in July 1947. Participants have filled hotel rooms and nearly doubled the southeastern New Mexico town's population for a few days.

The festival emerged in the 1990s to spark debate about the purported flying saucer crash, which the government says was a top-secret weather balloon. Believers in the Roswell Incident say the government is conspiring to hide the truth about the events of that day and, more broadly, the existence of extraterrestrial life.
