I need some help

Autumn (guest) 09 Apr 2011 00:16

We had some family over to eat, and one of them wouldn't shut up about all his conspiracy theory crap. And because I've never really bothered looking things up I really had no come back to him. Anyone care to help me with some info that may shut him up (at least when he's at my house) He said to me the government lies, the history books lie this country is based on murder and greed. Said to look at the top of the white house and tell him what that statue means?(I never knew there was one?)…statue of liberty? Albert Pike? Georgia guidestones? Anyone feel like helping me out LOL.

Advice him to see a psychiatry before it gets out of hand.

Autumn (guest) 09 Apr 2011 00:36

Haha…I said that. He doesn't think so…he says I'm the one in denial and if I would just open my eyes… O.o

How is that called? Paranoia when people cannot separate fiction from reality any-more?

Ask him for hard evidence of something instead of just speculation. If he says, "Open your eyes. Can't you see what's going on?" say, "No. Prove it."
Ask him in what way his life has been enhanced by knowing all this, as opposed to your life (and virtually everybody else's) where you go your own way and don't take the slightest notice of it.

Hi Autumn,
I think he is talking about the statue on top of the Captol dome.
"The Statue of Freedom was placed on top of the Capitol Dome in 1863.

The Statue of Freedom is a female figure, who holds a sheathed sword in her right hand and a laurel wreath of victory and the shield of the United States with thirteen stripes in her left hand.

The statue has a helmet adorned with stars and an eagle's head. A brooch inscribed "U.S." secures her fringed robes. She stands on a cast-iron globe encircled with the national motto, E Pluribus Unum."

So, nothing new and nothing sinister. It is just an artist's representation of the spirit of freedom.

He sends links to all sorts of things I need to watch. To him that's all evidence. The Georgia guidestones I do have to say make me a little freaked out…anyone have info on those? Anyway, tonight it was a video he sent me about a song the illuminatio don't want you to see. I don't bother even opening them anymore.

The Georgie Guidestones are a prime example of people fishing for numbers in a deliberate attempt to link them to a particular agenda. The various woo claims you see about them are complete nonsense.

We got into it again the other day so I told him to send me factual links to the info he has. He responded "it's in the mainstream media" I said I don't want any Alex Jones, or youtube BS, send me links. "You wouldn't believe it if I did anyways" OMG…he drives me up the wall! NOW he's posting all this crap about aliens. Just for kicks and giggles, here is what he's attempting to sell me on now…

I honestly didn't watch them to know if they make sense or not LOL…Ayy yi yi!!

I don't even need to watch these videos to know they are woo. The context of this thread tells me a lot about them. So this guy is like a woo-seller. Classic. :-P

LOL I did not watch the links… Nor do I want to, I have made a vow to myself to stay away from that bunkola!!! hehe.

Honestly I would not have that guy over any more. If you have slight fears or are starting to get over your fears, his 'woo' tyrades could cause you anxiety. He also sounds a little bit rude, to be honest, getting in your face and bombarding you with doom and gloom.

Perhaps don't call him or have him over anymore… 'Unfriend' him on facebook, and maybe he will get the hint and promise to back off.

Good luck! I have a crazy uncle that believes in doomsday theories, too… He does not have our address or phone number. LOL!

He only comes over when my sil does, so it makes it hard. My hubby isn't willing to say either sthu, or stay home yet. But I am. We just don't want any family feuds LOL! So I just make sure I have my wine so I can deal with him and not be tempted to hang him up by his toes from the apple tree :D
