You have to ask, if that did happen, who would be to blame? the site, or the person making the original post, and whether or not the information posted was just a troll, or genuine, and that's what would make the outcome unpredictable, I believe we are yet to see our first lawsuit over a matter like this, people get sued for a lot less.


If the content of an online conspiracy site could be linked to someone going off and committing mayhem, charges would have been successfully laid against the companies that produce the news and violent movies. The law can't have it both ways when its convenient to them.

My mother has the news channel on nearly 24 hours a day. Being online instead while going about your business is a person's own perogative. This is entire topic is terrifying. The minute they're bring this kind of thing up you know your country is in very bad shape politically. And this is after Obama's election? Next time, don't vote for anyone with a bloodline, or anyone they've pre-selected for you. Drag some average Joe or Jane kicking and screaming in and then protect them from assissination long enough to reveal everything, put in a good proportional democracy and call another election. Do the smart thing.

I just read this article. I was compelled to write a comment to ABC, which I relate below:

So the mainstream media is "sane" because of what? Oh, I see...because they parrot whatever is told them to say by their owners. We haven't had real "journalists" who go out and dig up a story since Watergate. What we are stuck with today as "news" is the story of what Hollywood slut is sleeping with which rockstar sleezebag. The "news reader" relates what is printed on the paper in front of her/him, and doesn't dare stray from the script. This is sane?
The "story" on the conspiratorial types is important why? Oh, yes...to help them become "sane" and enjoy the real news as prescribed by the media tycoons. Surely it has nothing to do with loss of huge quantities of listeners to alternative news sites springing up all over the net and the resultant loss of funds from advertisers. Choosing the most "out-there" of the group of conspiritorialists you then lump all in the same pot as the lowest common denominator and achieve your goal of making them all oddballs. Why not explore what it is you are so afraid of and prove them wrong with research, logic and reasoning? Oh, yeah that would mean spending some money for research, right? And we all know how tight money is now in the newsroom what with the loss of all those listeners who now get their news elsewhere on the net.Too bad about the mainstream media. Oh, nevermind. Just go back to reporting on Hollywood or who won American Idol or who's Dancing with the Stars...that's where true "sanity" exists. As for me...I as a thinking person...I'll stick with AboveTopSecret.com where I get to sort it out for myself and draw my own quiant conclusions.

This about sums it up from my standpoint...
