I'd call it a paint-by-numbers assemblage of well-aged standard ingredients from the Paranoid Conspiracy Theory Cookbook.

The attempt to use the stuff from the anti-Semitism packet as a background flavor is a bit of a variation from customary technique, but the overall mix isn't spicy enough to mask the fact that the Protocols had gone completely stale at least fifty years ago.

Perhaps it's unfair to judge a cook harshly when they haven't anything to work with but leftovers, but there wasn't much there to tempt an experienced palate.

There's something that the Consdpiracy industry shares with the rest of the entertainment industry- for every really new style, every genuinely original artist, you have to wade through a thousand cookie-cutter derivatives of the Last New Thing.

My thought is:
that web site was too long to read through the whole thing. What I did read was mostly ramblings. If it made sense, it didn't come to the point.

The article was too long , too wooly , and full of the usual David Icke conspiracy type ramblings....and then I go to the bit where the author said ....... "No-one has yet come forth to proclaim responsibility or to state the cause for which the terrorists willingly laid down their lives." and I gave up., becaise that line is ,quite frankly, tripe.

I'm not for the looming Iraq v America/UK war at all and I have a theory about Sept 11th..... Bush is out for revenge for the Twin Towers and unable to track down Bin Laden , I think he feels he can exact some retribution on a less elusive enemy...Saddam.

Hows that for a conspiracy theory...and its more upto date than all this Protocols of Zion shananigans.
