Greens Get Wackier Every Day

It's not just the Scottish Greens who are wired to the moon - as this tweet from Cynthia McKinney, a former Presidential Candidate of the US Green Party confirms. 

Quite what all this antisemitic, conspiracy nonsense has to do with the environment is a mystery - never mind their obsession with trans issues. 

 

9/11 Nutters (October 29, 2014)



Russell Brand can be an entertaining character at times, but his latest venture into politics leaves him looking completely mad as he puts himself on the side of the 'Truthers' who believe that 9/11 was an inside job. 

Apparently Russell was promoting a new book of his at the time although on this evidence I'm sure it's not worth buying. 
 

Truthers = Nutters (11 September 2011)

I've watched two TV programmes in recent days which involve otherwise normal looking people searching for the 'truth' about 9/11.

The people involved are conspiracy theorists - much loved in America - but as usual whatever happens 'across the pond' soooner or later finds its way over here.

But I was still surprised to see a BBC 3 documentary on the subject the other night because presumably as a public service broadcaster BBC 3 programmes are financed with public money.

Maybe there is some public interest in showing what complete nutters these people are - though I can think of many better uses for the licence fee - than ferrying several young British conspiracy theorists around New York and Washington - for several days.

The 'truthers' or nutters as I prefer want us to believe the following crackpot theories: 
  1. That 9/11 was a US government-led plot
  2. That the Twin Towers came down in a controlled explosion
  3. That a US missile blew up part of the Pentagon
  4. That Flight United 93 never crashed in Pennsylvania before reaching its intended target - presumed to be the White House.
Now to believe any of that you would think someone would have to be a wide-eyed, raving lunatic - but the 'truthers' look and sound like normal people - until they get started on their favourite subject - 9/11.

So I won't be watching any more of these daft programmes and I hope the BBC won't be wasting any more of the licence fee on such nonsense.

Not least because they are a terrible insult to the families of all the people who lost their lives - ten years ago today.
