AG I agree with Grayson. It is just that there are fake and real conspiracies. The conspiracy on Hemp was, and still is, a real conspiracy. We have all the details on who, why, how, when, etc. Jack Herer’s book remains the best introduction. For 9/11 I do not believe that 2 crash planes can lead to three chef-d’oeuvre of control demolition, but when I am saying this, people conclude that I claim it was an inside job. I don’t believe that either: it was an outside job, but well planned in advance, and I guess some Americans could have helped, but it could be saurians also. The Gist reports admit not having done an inquest on possible accomplices on the ground. They, there is no conspiracy, but hard to believe something is not recovered. > > The argument over Sagan is interesting.

But I have not th expertise to really judge von Neumann argument, so, about alien, I am rather agnostic.
