		<description>1. Nick Begich is a pretty intelligent conspirator.  

2. POR GrAmmEEER and SPEllinG misDakes are not only present in New World Order forums. They&#039;re becoming a sad trademark of the internet. &quot;LOL!!!&quot;

3. The politics of the world are much more confusing than even NPR makes them out to be. There is no such thing as partisan politics. People who even use the term &quot;conspiracy theory&quot; are  obviously afraid of not understanding things the way they do now. They are scared to entertain the idea that our world might not be so candy-coated, and that being a &quot;politically intelligent&quot; human being  may be a complete scam. 

4. And OMG, President Obama would NEVER lie to us! Brainwashing? Nah...</description>

		<description>The School of the Americas is real--and it fits in with what the historical record tells us about US colonialism in Latin and South America and our government&#039;s unholy alliances with right wing dictators. Some episodes were hush hush at the time (the CIA involvement in the Allende coup, for example) but many have come to light. The School of the Americas doesn&#039;t belong under the rubric of conspiracy theory--it&#039;s conspiracy, pure and simple.  

But an earthquake machine is sheer fantasy--like antigravity and time travel. I mean, yes, there have been papers and experiments and proposals, some of them undoubtedly classified; Project Faultless did shake the hell out of the desert not far from Area 51 in the 1960s (a hydrogen bomb was exploded 3000-plus feet underground, causing several square miles of land to drop several feet); Tesla, the story has it, almost brought down his whole neighborhood in New York City with his resonator machine--but when our government got hold of nuclear weapons, it used them in warfare and tested them in peace. Remember what Doctor Strangelove said about the Doomsday Machine? It doesn&#039;t make any sense to build one unless people know about it.

		<description>Yes, clearly the US wants to take over the poorest most resource deprived nation in the world in a location of zero strategic value...

...that, or the US really is just disturbed that a disaster that is dumping off percentage points of a nations population is happening next door and it just so happens that the US has an over funded force that is pretty good at quickly jumping over bodies of water into places with no need for local support and is a master of transporting large amounts of supplies rapidly.  The reason why the US army is there is because they kick supreme amounts of ass not only in blowing shit up, but moving materials required to blow shit up to places with no infrastructure.  This ability can be put to good use by replacing &quot;stuff that blows up&quot; with &quot;stuff you can eat&quot;.

If the US has any strategic interest in Haiti, it is to keep the place livable enough that a few million Haitians don&#039;t decide that jumping into makeshift rafts and swimming for it is a good idea.  Otherwise, the reason why the US is there is so that the US doesn&#039;t look like an ass when a few million people die off of the coast.  

If the US is feeling all imperialistic, Haiti is literally the absolute dead last choice of nations that it would pick.  Poor beyond measure, devoid of all resources, and in a location that I think it is pretty safe to say the US has covered... oh yeah, awesome imperial target.</description>

		<description>Because of course, Limbaugh is the epitome of honest, who would never ever say anything even remotely offensive.

He is a hero for all people to emulate!

		<description>Yes indeed Rindan: and as others above have pointed out, the Marines have already &quot;been there, done that&quot; as far as Haiti is concerned with their invasion and occupation of Haiti back in the early part of the last century.

Why cover the same ground twice, so to speak?</description>

		<description>re: What would be so bad about a one world government?

my number one issue with that idea is that it would be impossible to opt out. you don&#039;t like the way the government is running things? you don&#039;t like the healthcare/&quot;democratic&quot; system/capitalist system/lack of funding for arts/education/hospitals/etc etc etc? too bad, you can&#039;t move to another country, you have to stick it out with this.

lame.</description>

		<description>Its a sad commentary that when Andrea James came here with criticism of the amount of authority we place in fields of psychology she was lambasted for focusing on anecdotes from nutcases rather than offering legitimate criticism of the field. Now Goldwag, an obviously intelligent man, employs the same strategy and everybody laps it up. More and more Boing Boing seems to be about stroking our egos and smug sense of superiority while we bow down in denial to our establishment of choice.

Disclaimer: I don&#039;t believe that HAARP caused the earthquake in Haiti.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons.&quot;- Michael Shemer&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Once again, Michael Shermer is the guy who wrote, &lt;i&gt;&quot;Environmental groups who cry doom and gloom to keep donations flowing only hurt their credibility. As an undergraduate in the 1970s, I learned (and believed) that by the 1990s overpopulation would lead to worldwide starvation and the exhaustion of key minerals, metals and oil, predictions that failed utterly. Politics polluted the science and made me an environmental skeptic.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

Specifically, he was among the ranks of people who loudly and publicly insist that global warming is a fraud perpetrated by corrupt environmental scientists, until about four years ago when &lt;i&gt;evangelical Christians&lt;/i&gt; told him global warming was real.

Really.  I am not making this up.  Michael Shermer, and the species of corporate &quot;skeptics&quot; he represents, are not credible arbiters of the truth or falsehood of any proposition whatsoever.

		<description>HAITI is the poorest and unstable little island country of the Americas, the record breaking response it getting worldwide, by governments, individuals and corporations may seem out of the ordinary, but is my opinion that having the fortune of being a small enough economy, this may be the first time we as united world can make a lasting difference, yes the US, UE and UN are showing long term intentions in the rebuild and support of HAITI, but it shouldn&#039;t be seen as an exploitation to gain control or colonize, in the US case we have plenty of strategic colonies in the Caribbean.
As usual everybody will try to gain an angle to further their agendas. But lets not forget that our fellow brothers in HAITI are in dire need of our help.</description>

		<description>Maybe you should have thought that answer out a bit more...? Where ELSE do you think American interest would lie? I doubt they need Haitian topsoil of all things. Their resources lie further. Just a few years ago America was trying to take control of a piece of Haitian owned land just off the coast that was abundant in some time of fertilizer resource if not some specific mineral in the soil. And why and who do you think made DR so much more &quot;nice and pleasant&quot; to stay? Being that they&#039;re a third world country as well, I&#039;m positive they didn&#039;t do it alone. If they don&#039;t have to, the Haitian government would never allow other countries to start contracts to build resorts there. Too prideful for such things, though it could give a boost to their economy. ...Duh????</description>

		<description>I have digested a vast amount of conspiracy-theory in my time, and though I think there are many legitimate and interesting bits of information to be found in the field, it seems that over the last 10 or so years it has become mostly the domain of the delusional.

Now, whenever a new major event occurs, or even a new major movie, I can predict almost exactly what the conspiracy theories about them will be. Almost invariably, HAARP is involved. HAARP is like the Death Star of conspiracy lore. It seemingly can do almost anything. 

I&#039;m convinced that &quot;conspiricism&quot; is becoming like a religion to many people. Wild assertions are unswervingly believed, and all dissenters are attacked and ridiculed as the equivalent of devil worshippers. </description>

		<description>It&#039;s sad to hear how naive so many American&#039;s are about the capabilities, ill and nefarious as they may be, of our Government. I mean câ€™mon, the U.S. spent an estimated $41 trillion dollars or 46% of the worldâ€™s total military expenditure in 2008. What do you think such a huge percentage of money is being used for? Not just the war in Iraq, I tell you.  The name of the game is research and development.  In fact, the kind of technology the U.S. Govt has available as its weapons of warfare for the 21st century, are mind boggling. 

Of course, itâ€™s in the Governments nature to have the public think that this sort of technology is science fiction or futuristic. Thatâ€™s what allows them to get away with it. They want the people to stay dumbed downed. To not think the capabilities are available so that when they use their high tech weapons of destruciton, youâ€™ll have millions of media washed regurgitaters jump on the whole, ol this is just another one of them conspiracy theories.  

Why would the U.S. use a weather manipulating weapon of mass destruction on Haiti, let&#039;s review: Perhaps  to send a nice message to Cuba, and especially, Venezuela. Both of these nations are conveniently a stone&#039;s throw away from Haiti.

Besides, who cares about Haiti? You know the French could give a ratâ€™s, you know what. The strong pray on the weak. Thatâ€™s a fact of humanity. Just look at our history (colonialization etc.). Do you think Haiti is going to or would be able to do anything if it turned out that the U.S. did use weather manipulating technology to tear that country apart? Of course not! Whoe are they going to run to, the UN? Let&#039;s see what the UN would do. 

Why wouldnâ€™t the U.S. just use HAARP on Caracas or Havana instead? Well, there are a small handful of countries in the world whom arenâ€™t being dictated to by Washington.  

With that said, the U.S. might fool its people over and over again, but leaders of other nations know what is really going on.  If the U.S. released an earthquake like that on Tehran or Caracas, these nations, having central intelligence agencies of their own, would know it. Because they, to stave off attacks such as what occurred in Haiti, have alliances, other nations in which they are aligned with would aid them to some extent. Tehran, Damascus, Caracas, Pyongyang et al., are no Port-Au-Prince.  A very sticky situation would ensue. 

With organized stalking (citizen watch groups 
patrolling/spying on neighbors, spreading lies about targeted individuals, harassing them etcâ€”Google it to find out what thatâ€™s all about) occurring in every corner of this country, itâ€™s sad to say the illusion we are all forced fed to believe about our countryâ€”that itâ€™s a peace loving, democracy valuing, human right upholding, equal rights for all proposing, land of the brave and of the freeâ€”is just that, an illusion!

		<description>At #16 - the death toll in Haiti is not 20,000 but 200,000 people (some reports say 500,000), which makes the comparison with Abruzzo beyond ridiculous.</description>

		<description>Remember in the Ocean&#039;s 12 sequel where they caused an earth quake with that big drill?  Well I heard that that wasn&#039;t a movie at all - it was a documentary filmed in real time.  Also, my cousin&#039;s friend&#039;s uncle&#039;s nephew&#039;s former dog-owner&#039;s grandpa works for the NSA and he said they have a drill like that but it&#039;s as big as a skyscraper.  Last we heard he was driving it towards Haiti.  </description>

		<description>Lot&#039;s of good ideas posted here but it should be pretty obvious that the Haitian earthquake was quite convenient (location and country) for the placement of additional troops close to the US. Less reported and obvious are the massing of (Chinese) troops in Panama and Mexico.. Impending US dollar crash anyone? Time will tell..</description>
