"People come up to me: 'Bill, quit talking about Kennedy man . . . It was a long time ago . . .' And I'm like alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me...As long as we're talking about shelf life here..."- Bill Hicks

As the United States is under "Red Alert" (Does anyone really believe that the terror level is anything but opportunism?) I've spent a lot of today reading about 9/11.

I've been watching videos and reading articles about 9/11 "Conspiracy theories" as well as the sites/videos that try to "debunk" such theories.  All I'm left with is a bunch of unanswered questions, and I doubt we'll ever really know what happened.

I do know that the government is lying about what happened, and the mainstream news media follows suit.  I know that anyone who asks questions that haven't been addressed is labeled a conspiracy theorist.  I know that the Jews are behind the attacks, and the secret cabal of Zionist bankers are complicit in the financial gains of world domination....uh, wait, scratch that one.
But srsly....
I'm a giant skeptic.  I take all conspiracy theories as well as well as all official government reports with the tiniest grain of salt.  This is the Postmodern Empire we're living in... "truth" is relative, and everything we think we know goes through a number of filters.  I dunno.  Suddenly Alex Jones doesn't seem all that crazy...  With all the appalling shit the Bush Administration (And every other American presidency) has done, at this point I'm ready to believe about anything...

A video from SNL.  Only aired once.  Hmm, I wonder why....Funny that this is called "Conspiracy Theory Rock" when almost everything in it is undisputable.


In other news, I quit smoking pot a few days ago, for a plethora of reasons that I won't get into.  This probably is not permanent, but I'm going to be completely abstaining for at least a few months.
