[…] harmless and (b) prevented tooth decay, it wasn’t helped by being adopted by the John Birch Society. Their belief, that fluoridation was part of the international communist conspiracy, was put into the mouth of the character Jack. D. Ripper, the demented commander of the US Air Force base in England, who had dispatched nuclear […]
[…] something else? Was the week’s notice not an invitation from the inspectors to the hospital managers to do this? Was the whole procedure, in effect, not a conspiracy between the inspectors and the managers to produce the ‘good results’ desired by the government? Notes 1 Marie Woolf, ‘Britain tells America how to avoid “friendly […]
[…] claimed to be based on personal experience,(2) about covert ops, remote viewing and corruption in US intelligence and the Bush administration, which are being widely quoted on conspiracy theory sites.(3) These stories are entertaining but highly improbable in places. A third Arrigo sister, Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo, says that Dr. Sue Arrigo is a […]

[…] state department under his control at the National Security Council to by-pass both State and the CIA. If the Watergate affair was, as some believe, an anti-Nixon conspiracy by the CIA, in my view this is a good candidate for the reason behind it; it was aimed at undermining Kissinger by undermining Nixon.

[…] him wrong. In many ways, James Douglass has produced a book on the Kennedy assassination which ought to serve as a corrective for those not interested in conspiracy theory. It ought to be set against the Posners and Bugliosis who have had mainstream attention lavished on their lawyerly fabrications. It’s one of the most […]
[…] the Communist Chinese and whom they described as the first casualty of the Cold War. The Birchers claimed that America was being undermined by a secret communist conspiracy.
