Haste ye down to Bristol this weekend, for there's a rare collection of lunacy on show at the Grand Thistle Hotel for the "Alternative View" conference, featuring the best in conspiracy theorising from around the globe. Headlined by 9/11 Truther and general purpose nutjob Cynthia McKinney - and featuring the musical stylings of Gareth Icke (yes) - coming attractions (all summarised in their own words) include:

Ian R. Crane

Ian R Crane, past Chair of the UK 9/11 Truth Campaign, reflects upon UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s overt commitment to the agenda of the New World Order. Ian also introduces Project ZION and presents his startling prediction of what is being planned to accelerate implementation of the One World Government... a False Flag fake Alien Invasion to be staged at 2012 London Olympics.

Recall that the World Trade Centre consisted of TWIN towers which were
simply SQUARES, extended skywards. Is this masonic symbolism ? Are not
other skyscrapers in the area also essentially extended cubes surmounted
with pyramids ?

You may also be interested to know that in Canary Wharf, London's
mini-Manhattan financial centre, much of which was built by the very
Orthodox Jewish Reichmann Brothers of Olympia and York in the 80s, two
other towers are now under construction alongside the present 800 m high
tower. The plan is for the present tower to form the apex of a ground
plan pyramid, while the other two towers will be the other two points of
the pyramid. So, if the Twin Towers in New York had not been destroyed, in a year
or two, at this beginning of the 21st century, you would have had the
Jachin-and-Boaz-like Twin Towers in NYC (extended cubes) and a triangle
of extended cubes topped by their own pyramids in London on the other
side of the Atlantic: 23 spanning the Atlantic and symbolising the union
of Anglo-American financial/commercial powers. The 2 have been
destroyed, which will leave the 3... (Opposite the pyramid of towers
on the other side of the River Thames at Greenwich of course, almost due
south of the towers, stands the circular Millenium Dome with its 12
protruding star-like pylons : the pyramid of the Anglo-American 23
standing over the European circle of stars ?

Too far-fetched ? Perhaps.....

Study World War II closely on how IBM backed the Nazi Regime utilizing the Hollerith Machine . The Hollerith Machine was a punch card system that aided in cataloguing the population. This IBM technology gave the fascist, totalitarian state the much needed technology boost to increase it's rate of human data processing . The goal was simple, extreme nationalism which called for the unification of all German-speaking peoples and eradicating the enemies of the state namely the Jews and other non-compliant races.

Fast forward to the year 2006 , we have IBM funding the parent company of the Verichip namely Applied Digital Solutions [ADSX] . The VeriChip Corporation is both FDA approved and patented with the owner of patent (#6,400,338) granted recently to VeriChip's manufacturer, Digital Angel Corporation, with worldwide patents pending. [...]

When the next 9/11 event occurs and world government, with the use of enforced martial law utilizing paramilitary police, demands mandatory human chipping, will you be considered the NEW JEW if you choose not to comply?

What if you believe a human should never be treated like inventory? What if you find the the thought of being chipped as degrading , degenerative and of feeble mind ? Do you become the enemy of the state because you will not accept a RFID EMBEDDED into your person? We can say this , the day you accept a RFID Verichip is the day you have sold your human spirit .

And... la pièce de résistance...

Norman Baker MP, who will no doubt be flogging copies of his book, The Strange Death Of David Kelly:

My own information strongly suggests that those behind Dr Kelly's death were Iraqi dissidents opposed to Saddam Hussein's regime and angry at Dr Kelly for undermining the case for toppling him. A well-placed source also told me that the British police or security services had been warned of a likely assassination attempt but were not in time to stop it.

Did they then try to disguise the murder as suicide for reasons of political expediency? [...]

According to the information I have been given, the murder itself was carried out by a couple of not very well-paid hired hands.

As to the method used, I am told that they gave Dr Kelly an injection in his backside, which perhaps points to the use of succinylcholine, a white crystalline substance that acts as a muscle relaxant. For less beneficent purposes, it can be used to induce paralysis and cardiac arrest and frequently goes undetected in post-mortems.

I asked Thames Valley Police whether the body had been checked for the presence of this or a similar substance. They told me that they did not know.

If this was not the substance used then, alarmingly, there appear to be a large number of other ways in which Dr Kelly might have been killed that would be difficult or even impossible to trace. [...]

Another ghastly suggestion came to me from someone who signed themselves only as 'Nemesis'. Their letter alleged that he or she had been told by a 'member of the non-English diplomatic corps' that air had been introduced into Dr Kelly's bloodstream through a needle in a vein. Apparently, if present in sufficient quantities, air in the major organs will kill and leave no scar. 'Nemesis' was in no doubt that this was how Dr Kelly's life had ended... [and so on]

I wonder why Norman Baker thinks it is even remotely sensible to consort with these whack-jobs, and whether the good people of Lewes are fully aware of the company their fruitloop MP is choosing to keep. What is it with Lib Dems and lunacy?
