The most vile CTs Ive ever encountered in my life are the ones who think the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing was staged- Of course many of them sputter the usual CT drivel that they think the Jews did it, but some of them think none of it was real, the blood was all fake, etc

I found a truly vile conspiracy page that insited it was all fake. Really? I live in Boston and know people who wrere there, i saw the aftermath
Warning- this link had graphioc images of the Boston marathin bombing aftermath:

With the death sentence issued against the terrorst bomber, the Boston Marathon bombing deniers are starting to surface, like an unflushed turd in the toiet bowl. What is interesting to me is that nearlly all of these Boston Marathon bombing deniers are also 9/11 truthers.

Have the Boston Marthon bombing deniers been able to use the scientiofic method to prove their claims with verifiable evidence- or did they pull their theories out of thin air?

A common tendency with many CTs is that they seem unfamilar with the scientific method.

Strangely the defense didn't use any of that sterling material to free their man.
 
I don't understand the question. You live in Boston and know people who were there, so I presume you have no doubt that the bombing was real.

So, are you asking whether someone has managed to prove something that you know for a fact is false?

True. Denying someone has had their leg blown off and was an amputee to begin with is both vile an insane. But the Sandy Hookers are the worst Id say.

They're are equally as horrible, but the fact of the matter is there is nothing worse than the death of your own child.

Damnit, that's what I was going to say. Took the words right out of my brain. :)
 
No, I think the Sandy Hook truthers are way worse. The Boston bombing truthers are merely insane and making vague assertions. The Sandy Hook truthers almost certainly know what they are alleging is false but do it anyways because they are scared the truth might mean they lose their guns.

So you have insane people throwing out vague crap on one side and on the other side you have diabolical sociopaths lying through their teeth about the deaths of twenty kindergartners just so they can keep their guns.
 
Cluesforum has a particularly vile thread on this. No one has proved anything but they sure have made a lot of assertions.

As for the connection with truthers you'll have a hard time finding a CTer that doesn't subscribe to almost all conspiracy theories. If they don't outright believe them all they remain "open minded" to the pondering of others on almost any event. These "theories" reinforce each other. They will counter skepticism that the bombing was fake or staged by asserting that 9/11 was fake or staged.
 
A little off subject but not topic,have there ever been proven conspiracies? Not on scale of 9/11 etc obviously, but false flags etc? Let's say in peacetime?
 
False flags, yes: notably Hitler's invasion of Poland. He used a staged "incident", the Gleiwitz incidentWP (with German troops in Polish uniforms) as an excuse for the invasion. I don't think anyone bought it even at the time, though, so it doesn't qualify as a conspiracy.

9/11 IS a proven conspiracy. Islamic extremists inspired by Osama Bin Laden conspired to hijack airplanes and fly them into buildings.

Part of what makes conspiracy theories so tenacious is that governments, including the US are hardly above conspiring in some despicable ways.

Fake vaccination programs.

Planned (but not executed) false flag attacks.http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662

Racist and horrific medical experiments.

And these are just the ones that have been outed. One expects that any real false flag attacks actually carried out would be covered up with the fullest force possible. This doesn't mean that any random conspiracy has any likelihood of truth, but at least we can say the US government is capable of planning actions that most would consider horrific and trying to keep them secret.

Small correction - this was a failed intelligence gathering being conducted under the guise of a vaccination program.

Note - not executed. Staff exercises are not signs your governement has gone off the rails - otherwise Defence Scheme No.1 is a sign that Canada plans to attack the US, or Plan Red that the US plans to invade Canada.

No argument here.

Note how despite attempts to keep them secret, they've been exposed. Now, the first thing you need to look at is if you're going to accuse someone of this you really need to ask - what do they gain? And how much will they lose if their participation becomes public?
 

One note: The Tuskegee study was never a 'government secret' lots of people commented on its bad aspect before it hit the wider media. It was never classified.
 
As to "PLanned False Flags" I am betting there is somewhere in the Pentagon a hypothetical plan for taking back California after a Chinese Invasion. Calling these type of plans "False Flags That Were Never Carried Out" is pretty silly.

Not in peacetime, but a relatively recent false flag operation was carried out by the Israeli Defence Force in the 2006 Lebanon War. They had forgotten a subtle detail of the preparation:
AFP said the men were dressed in Lebanese army uniforms. The unit was said to have been intercepted by Hezbollah guerrillas who questioned the men briefly. But when they responded in Arabic, the guerrillas were said to have become suspicious of their identity because of the men's accents.

:D

ETA: this was at a stage in the war when Israel had not attempted any ground operations yet to invade Lebanon, but only had carried out air raids over, mainly, Lebanese cities. I have no idea what the purpose of this commando raid deep in enemy territory would have been.
