True Conspiracies?
One of the most perplexing, political conspiracy theories of our time is, of course, the theory that the U.S. government was behind the tragedies that occurred on September 11, 2001. A host of claims have been made, yet, three theories stand out as being the most common among conspiracy theorists: 1) Controlled demolitions used to bring down the WTC towers; 2) cruise missile used to attack the Pentagon; and, 3) the shooting down of Flight 93.
Unfortunately, the war in Iraq combined with the numerous failures of the current administration serve as useful fodder for grand conspiracies of this magnitude. The long history of distrust against government has proven to be a useful defense mechanism, as most Americans have always encouraged a healthy degree of skepticism when being presented with information from an authority figure. Therefore, from the perspective of the brave American protecting his liberties and rights, the “truth” movement seems refreshing–almost invigorating.
Yet, the line between rational and irrational thought becomes thinner and less prevalent during dark times. Conspiracy theories gain momentum not from convincing scientific evidence presented in their arguments, but rather from mass hysteria and paranoia.”
My favorite conspiracy theory has always been that conspiracy theories are really a conspiracy hiding the real conspiracy. Which is funny if you think about it but anymore I’m not that amused. The idea that the ‘government’ engineered 911 is just as debilitating to effective change as the idea there is a terrorist around every corner. Both are based on fear, not just of an external threat but your own lack of control over the situation.

Top of the line conspiracy theory
Remember the Jimi Hendrix song – If Six was Nine? What did he really mean? Let me explain it to you.
In 1919 the sixteenth amendment was passed effectively elimating our rights as American citizens and turning this country into a facist police state controlled by international bankers. Now play close attention to those two numbers – 1919 and 16. If 16 was 19, coincidence?
As further proof of this satanic plot consider this: 9 – 6 = 3. Three sixes are 666. The ‘coincidences’ keep piling up.
It gets even more interesting when we discover Jimi Hendrix (the author and singer of if Six was Nine) died of an ‘overdose’ on September 18, 1970. Sixteen days later controversial singer Janis Joplin also died of an ‘overdose’. September 18. Try to deny these numbers: September is the 9th month, Jimi died on the 18 - 1 + 8 = 9. 16 days later Janis dies. Can you still deny the connection?
Further, Janis was born in Port Arthur Texas where her father worked in an oil refinery It’s not hard to follow the dots from there. The Bush family (from Texas) made their fortune from oil companies that were financed by International Bankers and the Nazis.
The question is did Janis learn the truth from her father and then pass it on to Jimi? Did Jimi then sing about it in “If Six was Nine”. What was he trying to say to us when he sang:
