Welcome to Conspiracy Science

Conspiracy Science is a web site run by Edward L Winston, which is me, and I make no false claims about my education or who I am. This web site was created because I wanted a central location to debate the conspiracy theories that spread on the Internet. For more information, please see my about and FAQ pages.

2008-08-27 - Interesting video on 9/11

There is an interesting video about the attacks 9/11 at Youtube, and attempts to use "witnesses" and the like to prove bombs were planted.

Here it is

When watching this video you should count how many times someone says they heard another person say something about bombs. And how many times people say they heard an explosion, but don't mention anything about a bomb.

Basically, it comes down to this. Nearly all of the quotes in this video are taken out of context, implying they're talking about bombs, when they aren't. If they are talking about bombs, it's nearly always from a third party, and typically that person is never directly mentioned.

Simple fact: news casters are not structural engineers and just because they hear someone say something, does not make it fact when they repeat it.

And an important fact to mention, which they didn't, was that all the buildings had gas tanks for electric generators, in case of power failure. Naturally when those things catch on fire, they explode as well, and create a loud bang.

In the end, "I heard that..." isn't considered evidence of anything, much less science or fact. Just in the same way if someone said "I heard that someone saw a UFO", doesn't really make it true or science.

This video is not science and wouldn't hold up in court as evidence. Sorry, it's bullshot.

2008-07-30 - American Currency!? You must have gone to community college.

I think we can all agree that when it comes to conspiracy theorists, arrogance is not in short supply. That is, today someone showed me the Zeitgeist, the Movie group on Facebook where people talk about how much they believe the movie, and how anyone who disagrees with them is a part of the conspiracy... or just stupid.

The first wall post I saw made me laugh, mostly because it was about me! Here it is:


What makes me laugh is, if the American dollar is not the world's most solid currency, then what is? Why can I go to nearly any country in the world and the US dollar is treated as "hard currency", while local money has far less value? I don't see people using the Peso or the Ruble when going to other countries.

And, I didn't go to a community college, though the Canadians love to talk about how uneducated Americans are. I went to a place called a "University", which is not unlike a community college, in that it's a place where you learn and help build your future. Maybe he can figure out what that is after he gets back to me on what other currencies can be used anywhere in the world.

2008-05-31 - Hello June

Well June is here, which means that May is gone, and the prediction that so many made about the National ID card has yet to come. In fact there's no mention of the ID card or the NAU anywhere. Still waiting... I'm also still waiting for the UN to setup birth control centers and insert chips into everyone by the year 1995, but that still hasn't happened yet either.

2008-04-19 - Some updates to Zeitgeist

I have fixed some spelling and grammar errors in the various parts of the Zeitgeist article. I have also added a new section, Companion Guide. I suggest you check it out if you are into debunking the movie. I also added a general conclusion to the article.

2008-03-15 - Zeitgeist Article Nearing End

I'm finally almost done with the Zeitgeist, the Movie article. It has been a long road, especially Part III. I still plan on reviewing everything I have written, adding more sources, perhaps getting rid of even the Wikipedia references (they're not used as sources!) More to come. =)
