Hot Air: Puncturing The 10/15 Conspiracy
LMAO at the text for today's Woot (a Philips 19" LCD HDTV). It's gone now, but I saved a copy just for you guys.

Flight of Fancy

The official government story says there was no boy in that balloon. But a growing number of Americans are demanding the truth about what really happened on 10/15.

If you accept the CIA’s version of events, the whole incident was merely a misunderstanding. A joke, really. The kid was in the attic all along and everybody got worked up over nothing. Har dee har har. Well, I know what I felt was real. The terror and confusion of that terrible afternoon were too vivid to be wished away by the Big Lie Machine and its profusion of Smaller But Still Pretty Good Size Lie Machines.

Just look at the facts. As I saw on the Philips 19” LCD HDTV I keep in my taxidermy studio, the “balloon” in question spiralled lazily through the crisp autumn sky, its silver foil glistening in hi-def 1440×900p resolution. But I’ve watched enough Road Runner cartoons to know how a balloon behaves when punctured in flight, especially in the American West. A real balloon would’ve either zig-zagged quickly and crazily around, slamming into various rock outcroppings along the way, or simply fallen straight down like an anvil. So that begs the following question: this so-called “balloon” wasn’t even a balloon at all!

Now, let’s look at the landing. The world saw – or thought they saw – the “balloon” bump gently to Earth in a freshly plowed dirt field. It looked realistic enough to me, thanks to the Digital Crystal Clear picture and NASA’s experienced team of special-effects experts. But I bet I could find a Professor of Balloon Physics (let’s call him Dr. Herschel Flibbo of College Academy University State Tech) who would say that such a landing could only be executed by a trained balloon pilot. Why is the so-called “scientific” world so terrified of what Dr. Flibbo has to say?

Also, that field looked suspiciously flat to me. Have we forgotten that Colorado is known as the Rocky Mountain State? Guess whoever mocked up this hoax missed that day in 6th-grade geography class.

But here’s the most damning piece of evidence. Remember when everybody crowded around the fallen “balloon”, and a nation waited breathlessly to see if the boy would emerge OK, only to be told that there was nobody inside? Thanks to the crisp detail of my Philips HDTV’s 800:1 contrast ratio, I was able to see that, on the contrary, there were actually hundreds of children being briskly spirited away from the crash site into an underground passageway located directly under the so-called “balloon”. Skeptical? Come over and watch it. Or buy a Philips HDTV yourself along with a copy of Hot Air: Puncturing The 10/15 Conspiracy, my fearless, eye-opening DVD documentary that will forever change the way you view fearless, eye-opening DVD documentaries.

They say there was no kid in that “balloon”; I say there were hundreds of kids. They say the kid was actually hiding at home in his attic; I say the kids were led down into the bowels of the Earth to toil in the FBI’s underground LSD mines. Examine the evidence on a neutral, objective Philips HDTV and you can only reach one conclusion. And no, wiseguy, that conclusion is not that I need to go back on my meds. Whatever my lying fraud of a doctor says, I feel just fine this way.

2. This post is a conspiracy theory...

A real post would have some point that was grounded in reality.
Really the longer I read these desperate attempts to smear anyone who questions the 911 orthodoxy as crazy the more convinced I am official story nuts are operating totally out of fear.
I know its threatening to think big daddy government might be as corrupt as the corporations that really run things but you have to grow up some day and face reality. We will all give you big hugs and milk and cookies
kids.

7. It's like
when some public figure makes a joke about a religion - and suddenly the whole cult is up in arms about 'discrimination' and 'bigotry'. lovepg is defending the Cult of 911 Truth. He's upset about a harmless (though accurate) piece of humor.
Popcorn?

8. I'd settle for some coherence in his posts.
Half the time, I have no idea what the fuck he's yammering about.

3. You're on the right track.
What I found most troubling about this balloon situation is that even as the balloon was in the air, dubious people were already coming up with ideas about whether or not this event was the result of some sinister secret scheme. Like, that is silly dude. We level-headed people should have stomped around like wet-behind-the-ears PUNKS when we came across people like this. Thanks for posting.

Same exact joke has now been done with the Hudson River plane landing, the Titanic, and I forget what else.
