![]() We at CCB are going WAAAY out on a limb today (it’s cracking under our weight) so hang with us here. Cousin Fred, as you know, is a conspiracy theorist from way back. In fact, our entire family has always had a hand in not only developing conspiracy theories, but recklessly spreading them soon after development. It’s our contribution to the world. I had a close Relative (not naming names here) who developed the theory that LBJ was singularly responsible for the murders of JFK, RFK, and MLK in the 60’s. By the way, if you were born post-1970 and have no idea who or what I’m talking about…start looking on the internet…that theory (or one very similar to it) is still floating around out there. Of course, the Relative’s theory was developed long before Al Gore invented the internet. Sigh – if you were born after…I don’t know, say 1998…and have no idea who Al Gore is or why he thinks he invented the internet…again, read. Actually, I met the one of the guys who invented the internet years ago while I was working on a project. His name is Vint Cerf… But I digress… The Relative’s theory, very detailed in its specific actions, was that LBJ caused those murders to happen to consolidate his power and move his own legacy (read as agenda) forward. Why, you ask, am I dredging up old (possibly fake) history? Well, mostly to establish my familial bona fides as a genuine conspiracy theorist. Friends, do you believe that man actually landed on the Moon? Or do you believe it was all fake and done on a Hollywood-type sound stage somewhere? Several years ago, I had an opportunity to meet and talk with a guy who lived outside of Seattle. He was a retired systems engineer from Rockwell, the contractor responsible for several of the systems that flew aboard the Apollo missions. According to him, a lot of the technology that allowed Apollo 11 (again, look it up junior) to land on the Moon and return to Earth didn’t exist then. It was still another couple of years away. It seems that Richard Nixon (isn’t he dead yet?) was so bent on landing on the Moon to rub it in the face of the Soviets that NASA was forced to fake a Moon landing. Of course, the retired engineer, who was telling me all of this, was talking inside a bar after several drinks, so who knows. Over the years, NASA, and by extension, the government has done all it can to smash rumors about conspiracies of one sort or another. Particularly, when it comes to rumors of alien life forms being found and or visiting Roswell, New Mexico. Have you been to Roswell? Why in the name of all that is holy would aliens land in Roswell? Oh right, they crashed. So yesterday, the hacker collective known as Anonymous, posted online a video citing several examples which point to NASA being on the verge of announcing the discovery of alien life. Anonymous, has established some credibility in the past with highly publicized stunts and denial of service attacks on government, religious, and corporate websites. It makes us at CCB wonder what would prompt Anonymous to make the announcement unless there is something substantive beneath it. Over the past year, NASA has made press release after press release after press release regarding the discovery of some 30 exoplanets in habitable zones of galaxies. Of course, they’re likely making those announcements to ensure that funding for its upcoming launch of the Webb Telescope (replaces Hubble) doesn’t stop. But…is NASA keeping something from us? Who knows? Officials at NASA immediately began Tweeting that there is no forthcoming announcement. No conspiracy here, folks…move along. WHAT ARE YOU HIDING NASA? Yeah, no conspiracy here, uh huh, brought to you by the same bunch that allegedly (jury’s still out) folded under Nixon (he is dead, right?) and staged a Moon landing. Hmmmm…we at CCB expect there will be more on this in the very near future. And, if not, Cousin Fred is working on an altogether too complicated theory about it all. We’ll roll that out soon. See, you do have something to live for after all! That is all! Comments are closed.
