However, in defense of The History Channel, at least it showed the alternative arguments.
What made me angry was, if one thought that those holding alternate theories were wrong, the show merely reinforced their opinion.One procedure that was used is as follows:
(Written on the TV screen) “Conspiracy Theorists: The hole in the pentagon wall did not match up with a hole that would have been made by a Boeing 757.”THC would then have “conspiracy theorists” like Griffin, Meyson, Tarpley, the makers of “Loose Change” or other “conspiracy theorists” explain their position. Once they explained their position, the next thing on the screen was:
“Expert Response”And they’d have the “experts” explain the other side of the argument.
Need they go any further?
“Conspiracy theorists?
“Expert Response”?There were other skewed activities, but I’ll point out just one more.
When the “conspiracy theorists” gave their responses, they didn’t personally attack people who defended the government’s position.However, many times when the “experts” responded, they used descriptors.
A couple of examples (paraphrased):“You see, conspiracy theorists love a vacuum” or “conspiracy theories are sexy” or “conspiracy theorists tend to leave out important facts”. They didn’t respond to all of the issues using these descriptors, but they used them far too often. This further reinforced the conclusion of many who were watching that, yes, conspiracy theorists are not only not experts, but also make stuff up to manipulate the facts.
Let’s review.Did FDR allow Pearl Harbor to happen? If he did, he purposely allowed Americans to die at the hands of the Japanese.
FDR died in office in 1945 of what appeared to be a stroke.Lyndon Johnson has been implicated in everything from being the catalyst for the deaths of 58,000 American military personnel to the murder of President John F. Kennedy.
Johnson could not be elected to a second full term because of his sinking popularity. He retired to his Texas home where he died of a heart attack at the age of 64.
I’m pretty unfamiliar with what many say really happened in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995, but I do know that 163 innocent people died because of a premeditated action.Timothy McVeigh was put to death for what happened in Oklahoma City, but many believe that Bill Clinton and Janet Reno were involved.
Bill Clinton completed two full terms as president and has retired. His wife was elected to the US Senate and is now a leading candidate for president.As far as I know, Janet Reno is not in prison.
FDR, as leader of the United States government, basically murdered people at Pearl Harbor if he knew it was going to happen and didn’t stop it.Johnson murdered millions of people via The Vietnam War, including 58,000 American soldiers and was complicit in the assassination of an American president, if what is believed by some is true.
Clinton, Reno and others were complicit in killing 163 Americans.If these people did what they’re accused of doing, the conspiracy theorists have wasted lots of time. Roosevelt and Johnson can no longer be punished for mass murder.
