POPSProblems Prompt Call for VA Voting Hours Extension This is almost certain to be only one of many election day problems that'll be reported throughout the day. This one is significant, because it's pretty much impossible for McCain to win without taking Virginia. One of the first things we ought to do after all the smoke clears is get rid of these goddam computerized voting machines. If you can't convince people that the fact that they're easily rigged is anything other than a conspiracy theory, there's plenty of evidence that they're junk and don't work. It's not a conspiracy that these lemons are a ripoff. Like the story says, if you have any problems, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE or 1-866-MY-VOTE1 . Don't let anyone turn you away, don't let anyone keep you from voting.

POPSThe real X files are revealed... Clarke said the papers showed the government could not conceal anything and that people were not going to find "that elusive bit of evidence that proves we're being visited by aliens". I am not sure that we are, yet if we do, how would humanity describe itself best?

POPSForget Memory Laws "The historian's equivalent of a natural scientist's experiment is to test the evidence against all possible hypotheses, however extreme, and then submit his most convincing interpretation for criticism by professional colleagues and for public debate. This is how we get as near as one ever can to truth about the past. How, for example, do you refute the absurd conspiracy theory, which apparently still has some currency in parts of the Arab world, that "the Jews" were behind 9/11? By forbidding anyone from saying that, on pain of imprisonment? No. You refute it by refuting it. By mustering all the available evidence, in free and open debate. This is not just the best way to get at the facts; ultimately, it's the best way to combat racism and xenophobia too."

POPSIraqi oil up for sale If the conspiracy theory that western oil companies egged on U.S. and British governments to invade Iraq were true, the plan could backfire on them and benefit rivals in Asia instead, he said, adding: “It is possible the American Army has provided the economic stability that will encourage Malaysian, Chinese and other Asian companies to become involved.”

POPSHow International Bankers Gained Control of America "My paramount objective is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it." So what was the Civil War all about? There were many factors at play. Northern industrialists had used protective tariffs to prevent their southern states from buying cheaper European goods. Europe retaliated by stopping cotton imports from the South. The Southern states were in a financial bind. They were forced to pay more for most of the necessities of life while their income from cotton exports plummeted. The South grew ncreasingly angry. But there were other factors at work. ... The central bankers now saw an pportunity to use the North/South divisions to split the rich new nation - t divide and conquer by war. Was this just some sort of wild conspiracy theory? Well, let's look at what a well placed observer of the scene had to say at time.(cont. at source)

POPSFirst Olbermann and Matthews, Now Andrew Sullivan? "Thank you for your many emails of concern. For the record, I'm absolutely fine, nothing has changed with this blog, no one is pressuring me to write or not write anything, and I spent part of the day yesterday with my husband soaking up the last moments of summer together." Uh huh. Within hours, he then posted this creepy "Quote of the Day": "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen." This, as everyone of course knows, translates to: What we cannot speak of, we must pass over in silence. It immediately occurred to me at this point what was going on. Our Andy got in twuble. =( So now he's taking time off to "recover" from being humiliated and realizing that, surprise surprise, just because you're a blogger and the internet might be "anything goes" for some... you still work for somebody else who has, you know, a business to run.

POPSWarning to Obama on the New Cold War by Tom Hayden 
• McCain has traveled to Georgia, nominated his close friend Saakashlivi for a Nobel Prize in 2005, and was the first American leader to blast Russia last April, when Vladimir Putin issued a sharp warning against NATO membership for Georgia and the Ukraine, supported by the United States. • The Bush Administration was divided along familiar lines, with the foreign policy "realists" around Condoleezza Rice opposite the pro-Georgia hawks centered in Dick Cheney's office and allied with McCain--enthusiasts for spreading "democracy" from Iraq to the Russian border. • Randy Scheunemann, McCain's foreign policy adviser, was a registered foreign agent for Saakashlivi's government from at least 2004, when Saakashvili came to power, until May 15, 2008, when he technically severed his ties to Orion Strategies, his lobbying firm. At that point, Orion had earned at least $800,000 in lobbying fees from Georgia. • Saakashvili, with Scheuneman advising him, campaigned on a platform of taking

POPSDo they really think the earth is flat? To me even to have this question and belief is astonishing. Do flat-earther's have any idea how many agencies would have to be involved to create and sustain a conspiracy of the magnitude they describe. Mind boggling.

POPS9/11 Mysteries - 90 minutes of evidence and analysis
See for yourself what really happened in the 3 demolished buildings in the weeks before 9/11. 911 Mysteries demolishes the 'official' 911 conspiracy theory Since 9-11 the American public has shown a "remarkable indifference to being deceived" (George Soros). But this is changing. As Hugo Chavez put it: "The world is waking up. It's waking up all over. And people are standing up." Millions around the world are realizing that they are being lied to - not in a small, lazy way, but in a big way. It's time to ask hard questions, many of which 911 Mysteries helps to answer. 90 minutes of evidence and analysis, filled with eyewitness testimonials. Point-by-point review of the official story set alongside clear science. The question is not one of politics or nationalism or loyalty, but one of strict and simple physics. Does steel melt in open air fires? What caused the core to vanish in seconds? No agenda. No finger-pointing. Just the facts and the questions.

POPSWhat is Globalization?
I LOVE CONSPIRACY THEORY! Sometimes it does not have to make sense if it just has some connections - George Bush joins the Trilateral Commission (a brainchild of fellow Bonesman, David Rockerfeller ) in 1991. On SEPTEMBER 11, 1991, he makes his infamous New World Order speech... which espouses both the Trilateral Commission Globalization Policy and the Skull & Bones Society's tradition of members all being from rich families and seek to control economics as well as Political Policy and keeping power in the hands of a select few that follow their plans or are architects of it, of a "New World Order;" a world where the few who maintain power make policy for years to come and ONLY they do. NOW, 10 years to the day later, George W. Bush reads a book to school children as the hijacked passenger jets take down the WTC, tear into the Pentagon, and crash in a field due to brave passengers fighting back. Has anyone made THAT connection other than me? Coincidence or conspiracy? I Love Paranoia!

POPSConference On Islamic Wakefullness: Delegates Fall Asleep A preliminary investigation by the Iranian government into the glaring lack of Muslim wakefulness has uncovered a possible Zionist plot to inject sleepy juice into the attendees' water bottles. Press photos show that next to each sleeping delegate there was a bottle of water. "Coincidence? I don't think so," said Mustafa Zadeh, secretary of the Islamic Republic's Guiding Council. "A Jewish conspiracy is always more plausible than any other theory. Thank Allah for that, otherwise we might erroneously conclude that Muslim lethargy was caused by our failure to generate ideas, stimulate thought, and provoke intellectual curiosity."

POPSMcClellan On Valerie Plame 
On page 173 McClellan first mentions my Plame leak, but he does not identify Armitage as the leaker until page 306 of the 323-page book, then only in passing. Armitage, anti-war and anti-Cheney, cannot fit the conspiracy theory When Armitage after two years publicly admitted he was my source, the life went out of Wilson's campaign. In "What Happened," McClellan dwells on Rove's alleged deceptions as if the real leaker were still unknown McClellan writes that Rove told him this about his conversation with me after I called him to check Armitage's leak: "He (Novak) said he'd heard that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. I told him I couldn't confirm it because I didn't know." Rove told me last week he never said that to McClellan. McClellan writes, "I don't know" whether the leaker -- he does not specify Armitage -- committed a felony. Fitzgerald's long, investigation found no violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, if only because Plame was not covered.

POPS The Nut Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree which he claimed called in an outstanding loan he had with the bank in an effort to bankrupt his law practice. In 2003, long after the deaths of Johnson, Clark and the rest of the gang, McClellan wrote a book, "Blood Money & Power", in which he lays out a conspiracy theory of how Johnson and Clark had President John F. Kennedy assassinated as well as other people who got in their way. A number of the Texas oilmen alleged to have had a role in the Kennedy assassination were big supporters of the Bushes in Texas politics. Aside from his family problems, he performed the job as ineptly as any White House press secretary I can recall. The Bushies now claim McClellan was fired from his job, but Bush kept the incompetent press secretary on for nearly three years before unloading him. It looks like he's determined to become for Bush what Dick Morris has become for the Clintons.
