Are we getting ready to enter a new critical thinking Renaissance?

It's good to see publications like the Skeptical Inquirer getting a little mainstream press, it's also good to have such a great case study in BS handy for those people out there who honestly believe these charlatans. What are your thoughts on this? Is this a mainstream equivalent to the kiai master getting his ass handed to him by the MMA fighter on Youtube? ]]> General Skepticism: Conspiracy Theories, the Paranormal, and Other Forms of Bullshido lukerawks http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120786 http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120756&goto=newpost Wed, 08 May 2013 18:03:02 GMT Bob Marley,
"Babylon system is the vampire,
Suckin’ the children day by day,
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin’ the blood of the sufferers,
Building church and university,
Deceiving the people continually,
Me say them graduatin’ thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin’ the blood of the sufferers.
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)

Tell the children the truth."

After the gunmen shot and injured Bob Marley, Rita Marley, and others, Marley and his friends fled to their Blue Mountain retreat, where machete wielding rastafarians provided security. A hippie photographer who'd been doing photo shoots was the only outsider to accompany Bob's group.

The photographer gave Bob a pair of boots and when Bob put them on he cried OUCH and pulling off the boots a sharp copper wire was found sticking in the leather. The injured toe was broken six months later in a soccer game in London and found to be cancerous. The cancer killed Marley.

The "hippie" was Carl Colby, son of William Colby, aka Central Intelligence Agency Director William Egan Colby.

"Bill" Colby and his wife Barbara were drinking buddies with my parents. He was actually, for the CIA, an honest honorable man and a liberal. He was murdered, but that's another thread. ]]> General Skepticism: Conspiracy Theories, the Paranormal, and Other Forms of Bullshido patfromlogan http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120756 http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120740&goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 03:15:27 GMT Graham E.

Katherine Russell (alleged bomber’s ex-wife) is granddaughter of Richard Warren Russell, Skull and Bones member and entrepreneur in the energy industry, ex- U.S. Army Counter-Intelligence .

Skull & Bones was co-founded by William Huntington Russell and who knows if it's the same Russell family...

Oh, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a New England boxing champ and the cop who got killed was a fellow boxer - another mystery is why Tamerlan went to the cop who knew him from boxing. ]]> General Skepticism: Conspiracy Theories, the Paranormal, and Other Forms of Bullshido patfromlogan http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=120740
