Edward..

You claim in your faq that you have no agenda and just like analyzing conspiracy theories. Doesn't it seem strange to you that you not only attempt to debunk any of these movies, but that you attempt to debunk EVERY..SINGLE..POINT? Doesn't that seem strange to you?

I have to admit that I feel sorry for your readers, because while you're out there not only attempting to debunk every piece of information, in nearly every portion where there's any sort of interpretation involved you ALWAYS lean towards the same side. Its laughable and sad, because you do your research only to come to biased conclusions.

I really don't have the time to go point by point with you through this (and its not because I can't refute your conclusions)...but here's just a SMALL example :

Your inciting panic section : "In fact, he promoted a central banking concept that was decentralized, making it hard to believe he was in on any large conspiracy"

Did you consider that they wanted a fully centralized banking concept, yet knew it would never pass? And that they then decided on a decentralized concept they knew would could later be improved upon as time went on? This one alteration flips your entire conclusion. The sad thing is its apparent everywhere in your writing.

I don't even know why I typed this up, other than being upset at you leading various readers that would have looked into this info more closely, only to stop at your conspiracy debunking website and feel better about their lives. Sad.

>> You claim in your faq that you have no agenda and just like analyzing conspiracy theories.  Doesn't it seem strange to you that you not only attempt to debunk any of these movies, but that you attempt to debunk EVERY..SINGLE..POINT?  Doesn't that seem strange to you?

Please point out where I "attempt to debunk EVERY..SINGLE..POINT" perhaps if you continued to read my FAQ or any of my site, you'd know the purpose is to analyze every claim in the film. Some claims are true. If my agenda were to debunk "EVERY..SINGLE..POINT" then I wouldn't admit any were true, now would I?

>> I have to admit that I feel sorry for your readers, because while you're out there not only attempting to debunk every piece of information, in nearly every portion where there's any sort of interpretation involved you ALWAYS lean towards the same side.

I have to admit, I also feel sorry for my readers, because most are conspiracy theorists like yourself. But what is my "same side"? That most conspiracy theories are bullshit? If I'm up to some secret agenda, how do you explain my COINTELPRO page, surely I should have stated it wasn't true, or at least down played the program, but I didn't come close to either one of those. Perhaps it's yourself and conspiracy theorists you should look at, for example, why is every terrorist attack or criminal act ever, always a part of some vast conspiracy? Now that's leaning to one side.

>> I really don't have the time to go point by point with you through this (and its not because I can't refute your conclusions)...but here's just a SMALL example :

Oh, I'm sure you're right. I get a lot of email telling me how I'm wrong, but conveniently, nobody ever has the time to tell me how -- well, some do, but most of the time they're not conspiracy theorists. Looks like you're going to beat the spread.

>> Did you consider that they wanted a fully centralized banking concept, yet knew it would never pass?

So, let me get this straight. They promoted a decentralized concept, but promoted a bill which put basically all monetary policy within the hands of a few people, because it may not get passed? What?

>> And that they then decided on a decentralized concept they knew would could later be improved upon as time went on?

Ah yes, the "never ending, everyone's been involved for hundreds of years, despite being the most selfish and evil people in the world" conspiracy.

>> The sad thing is its apparent everywhere in your writing. 

Oh no, alert the editors!

>> I don't even know why I typed this up,

So you can vent and feel like a big man that you took-on such a mighty force as me.

>> other than being upset at you leading various readers that would have looked into this info more closely,

Ah, you let emotion and not reason run your life, that explains the conspiracy theory thinking.

>> only to stop at your conspiracy debunking website and feel better about their lives.  Sad.

Yeah, it's pretty sad you sent this email alright. And to think it's all because you were whining to yourself that someone had the balls to voice their own opinion and back it up with sources. I'd love to be in a position where someone else can tell me "the truth" and my search for "more information" is tantamount to reading the same thing but at a different URL. Then I can spend my life paranoid and wondering who is REALLY a part of it and what's REALLY going on. Then I can go track down skeptics that are 1/100th as popular as my Pope-like conspiracy gurus and tell them how much it pains me to read their crappy blogs and how I think they're liars. Ace of Base was right, it is a beautiful life, oh oh oh.

I hope you feel really great about your email. You really stuck it to me, you really triumphed over lies and adversity.

Sorry to cut this short, but I gotta get back to lying and falsifying sources just so I can .... well, my goal isn't very clear, I guess it's to feel cool, even though skeptics get more hate mail and death threats than any conspiracy theorists, and you people annoy the shit out of me.

Love,
Edward

Hi,

I'm contacting you guys for a favor. My name is E. [Removed] and another person with the same name as me shows up on your website with the email he wrote.

Since I work primarily online it's important that if someone searches my name they get relevant results, but so far this conspiracy project website is the first one that shows up. I was wondering if it would be possible for your team to go in and delete my name from that email that is written if possible. This would really mean a lot to me as it's a weird situation.

Please let me know if this is possible, and thank you.

That's funny because when I search for both your email address and "his" email address, I get the same Facebook profile. I'm not so sure it's another person, in so much that it's you. If you want to apologize for your insane email, sure I'll take down your name, but don't lie to me.

Hey, thats pretty funny but OK. I thought that if I emailed you the opposite way that you wouldn't take it down.

I apologize for the silly email, was a few years ago and I don't really care about that stuff now. Reading it now is pretty weird.

So yes, please take it down if you can, and I appreciate it.

-E [Removed]

Apology accepted, and your name/email address was removed.
