Q: How many expats in China are conspiracy nuts?
It seems to me that China seems to attract the crazy expats...the normal ones end up in Japan or Korea (at least teachers).
Why did you really leave your homeland? Did you become convinced of some hair brained theories and was this what drove you to the Autocratic Dictatorship of China? (ADC)
I know it must be better from where you are from. (no hint of sarcasism at all...really)
Well it looks like i've been rumbled. With my man The Dude on the case, it was just a matter of time. I hold my hands up in confession of my guilty secret, my name is mArtiAn, and yes, I am a conspiracy theorist. I believe there are darrrk forces at work, woooooh, and they plan to control our minds with rays from the satelites they circle the globe in, and yes, I do wear a tin-foil hat. Well i'm not wearing it today, my wife ran out of baking foil and used my hat to cook an apple pie in. Now the blessed thing's all sticky. But I do believe many a conspiracy theory, I must say. But then surely by definition any detective is, throughout his career, a conspiracy theorist from time to time? Weren't we 'all' conspiracy theorists when we fell for the WMD conspiracy theory? Was that a conspiracy in the first place to lure us into war? Maybe. Wasn't Watergate a conspiracy theory until it was proven true? Was it not also a conspiracy theory that the invasion of Poland (and in effect World War Two) was started under false pretences? Just Google 'Operation Himmler' and find out. And the invasion of China by Japan? Not much of a historian myself but i've heard that was started under false pretences. And 9/11? Anytime you want to open up that line of investigation, baby, i'm the man to see. I'll have you convinced lonnng be for you me.
But did I leave England for any other reason than to do something different with my life and seek out a little adventure? No. I just came here because I was bored.
My name is mArtiAn. And I am a conspiracy theorist.
Phew, feels so much better to get it out.
mArtiAn:
Area 51 was embarrassing, I was personally involved. I was young then and full of pith and vinegar. Me and some chums went out in my mather's (we are a double-sex species on Mars, we mate with ourselves. Maybe not so much of a challenge but you're never without a date on Saturday night) space cruiser, I had a little too much to drink, and BAM, flew straight into a telephone pole. Boy did I get it later. Got grounded for a month.
thedude:
Yes Martian this was mostly directed at you.
I have a few myself (like JFK and Bobby) but you have personally made about 10 comments over the past few months about 911 being an inside CIA job.
As much as I hated Bush I feel personally insulted when I hear people throw around this moronic rubbish.
mArtiAn:
I don't see any reason why you should feel i've made any personal insult to you. I mean, the events known as 7/7 that happened in London were most likely set up as well but I don't see how they reflect upon me as a Londoner. They did help the public get behind Blair on Iraq though. There are plenty of reasons to seriously consider 9/11 as being a false flag operation used to draw public support for an invasion on Afghanistan. As much had already been promised to the Afghans long before 9/11, 9/11 was just the pretext from which to make an assault that had already been decided upon. I'll be glad to send you a collection of facts by PM that may prove rather shocking to you. On the other hand you may look at them and find them easy to explain away in which case i'll admit fault. Until then it's difficult for me to ignore what I understand to be the facts of the case. I don't choose a negative view on the matter any more than I choose to see what came to light after World War Two's 60,000,000 deaths, which was that Hitler staged attacks on Polish borders to garner support for an invasion of Poland. An ugly truth but the truth nontheless.
Expats. "Some of them are running from lovers, leaving no forward address. Some of them are running tons of ganja, some are running from the IRS."
Me? I'm the mango man bound for the Bahamas!
giadrosich:
Yes, but you have to guess what is inside the mangos! Could be fruit, could be something more!! Maybe...baiju!!!
I think there are groups of fifth columnists all conspiring to convince us that there is a conspiracy when there isn't.
So there is a conspiracy trying to persuade us there is a conspiracy which doesn't exist......................
I think I need that tin foil hat..........
Never believed in 'em to be honest. At least until the death of Princess Di..... to me, that seemed way fishy....
i can see establishment types wanting to whack her for getting intimate with a muslim.
not saying I'm right, just saying it's the first conspiracy i thought was quite plausible.
of course it coulda just been a car wreck too. either way, sad loss of life...
mArtiAn:
Actually I did read something about the facts of that situation, like the response time of the ambulance and a bunch of other stuff. I could get on board the idea of her being whacked. Why the hell not, it happens all the time?
Conspiracy theory, what theory. It is all true, you just don't know it yet. I know this 'cause I watched the movie. Don't upset the lizard people and we will all be ok. Mummy why does that man want me to put on this funny coat, don't let them take me again mummy!!!
mArtiAn:
Not quite so far gone as to believe in lizard men yet.......but it would be cool.
I left,because of the French Canadians,or was it Steak Canadians,i think one tasted good
I was on board the USS Eldridge in 1943. The ship materialized after travelling to the future. I was thrown off the deck by the force of the time shift. I landed in 2010. My life was gone, everything I knew had changed. I came to China to experience an older culture and get grounded to a time I had lost. I also needed to have some travel history to make sure I do not "disappear".
The USA has done other experiments, punching holes in the ozone to see if they could destroy armies from space, South America still suffers permanent damage to the ozone as result. Using Tachyon energy pulses from HAARP, the US was trying to exploit gas and oil in the Indian ocean and Caribbean resulting in the tsunami that hit Thailand and the earthquake that hit Haiti. A result of these experiments lead China to discover gas and oil in the ocean.
The landing at Roswell was actually people from the future that were also lost in a time shift aboard the Eldridge. The darkness of our planet will cause people to develop gray skin and large eyes. With the lack of food people will be able to live by eating mud. Red mud being a delicacy. If you like skinny women, everyone in the far future will be extremely thin.
Now that I have publicly stated all that I know, I'm hoping China will release my ten Chinese wives, let me return to China as a puppet Emperor. What good is 5000 years of history if you do not honor it's biggest tradition of Royality? Being a lizard myself, I will appear to be Chinese. My biggest concern is getting a big enough TV screen built for The Forbidden City and selecting the other members of my harem, consorts and concubines. Remember , party at Tai de's house will still mean you must kowtow and observe tradition. Never bother me in the throne room, it will be a disguised western toilet.
mArtiAn:
You should write fiction, i've read your personal comment thingy in your personal space thingy that you get to when you click on your avatar thingy and found it both interesting and soulful. But then I have been awake all night drinking brandy. Still like the way you write though.
TedDBayer:
Txanks. I wrote my profile while staying up all night once. I have a PHD in BS but this is all true and no one will believe me.
