With publication of “On the Origin of Species” in 1859, the hunt was on for the “missing link.” Fame and fortune awaited the scientist who found the link proving Darwin right: that man evolved from a monkey.
In 1912, success! In a gravel pit near Piltdown in East Sussex, there was found the cranium of a man with the jaw of an ape.
“Darwin Theory Proved True,” ran the banner headline.
Evolution skeptics were pilloried, and three English scientists were knighted for validating Piltdown Man.
After reading the article released by Cracked.com, I decided to update and revise their work. the article gave me a chuckle because it lacked many famous and much larger conspiracy theories that became known. Their article had only listed seven. I can name 33 and I am about to release a revised list soon with 75. The article I read at cracked can be viewed here, but don’t waste your time, all of that is in this article and more.
Scott Horton: It’s New Year’s Eve 2009. We’re going to start off the first hour though with our first guest today, Kurt Haskell; he is, I guess, becoming semi-famous here as the guy that saw something that is something seemingly quite important that is apparently being left out of the typical narrative of the attempted bombing of the airplane over Detroit on Christmas day. His name is Kurt Haskell and he’s a lawyer, I believe, in Detroit, is that right Kurt? Welcome to the show…
Ex-PM arrives at summit to urge greenhouse gas deal
Tony Blair turned up in Copenhagen yesterday to preach to world leaders about the dangers of climate change.
In a speech – which the former Prime Minister insists he did for free – he said it would be ‘grossly irresponsible’ not to sign a deal curbing global emissions of greenhouse gases.
But his appearance will raise suspicions that he is planning to cash in on global warming.
"Valhalla" at work: FBI undercover asset Hal Turner, who was tasked to infiltrate and radicalize the "far right," speaks at a rally sponsored by the FBI-controlled National Socialist Movement
We’ll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet
and the morals that they worship will be gone.
And the men who spurred us on sit in judgment of all wrong
they decide, and the shotgun sings the song.

Can you imagine the uproar if Reuters referred to the “mass killing” of Jews by Germans with the words: “Jews say it was a genocide, a term right-wing Germans and neo-Nazis reject….
Amira Hass was spot on when she said last week that her lifetime women’s award was an award for failure. The West Bank correspondent of the Israeli paper Haaretz eloquently explained herself on al-Jazeera’s English channel. She received an award for failure, she said, because despite all the facts that she and her journalistic colleagues had explained about Israeli occupation in Palestine, the world still did not understand what occupation meant and still used words like “terror” and “war on terror”. Amira was absolutely correct. Most of our Western press and television are as gutless as ever when they have to participate in what Noam Chomsky described as “the manufacture of consent”.
Writing about the recent resignation of Van Jones, President Obama’s appointee to be green-jobs czar, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer says good riddance.
What set Krauthammer off was not that Jones had once used profanity to describe Republicans or even that he might have been a self-proclaimed communist. What made Krauthammer angry and outraged was that Jones had had the audacity to suggest that the federal government might have had foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and knowingly let the attacks go forward.
Gerald Celente – the most trusted name in trends – sits down for an exclusive interview with Russia Today’s Anastasia Churkina to talk about what the future holds for America during and after the Great Recession, gives advice to Obama, and forecasts the unexpected.
This is the way our society deals with uncomfortable questions about “official” explanations for the inexplicable – by purging all dissenters, and even anybody who asks a question without necessarily having a ready-made answer. To the stake with them! Burn the heretics! Move along, nothing to see here – and don’t ask questions unless you want to completely marginalize yourself, lose your job, and be subjected to an intensive hate campaign….
The conservative newspaper/website Human Events gets a great deal of mileage by carrying Patrick J. Buchanan’s columns. According to its advertising directors, over half a million readers signed up to get his columns sent—along with ads— directly to their e-mail. Buchanan and Ann Coulter usually trade spots for the most popular columns on the site. Although several sites—such as VDARE.COM—carry Buchanan’s column online, when you click on “Pat Buchanan” at Drudge Report, you go straight to the Human Events archive.
Journalists’ Recent Work Examined Before Embeds
By Charlie Reed – Stars and Stripes
As more journalists seek permission to accompany U.S. forces engaged in escalating military operations in Afghanistan, many of them could be screened by a controversial Washington-based public relations firm contracted by the Pentagon to determine whether their past coverage has portrayed the U.S. military in a positive light.
Many media outlets have misfired about guns. Countless newspapers and television networks — from CBS to MSNBC — have misreported that conservative protesters are threatening President Obama with guns at public events. It hasn’t happened.
In Portsmouth, N.H., a man carrying a gun, William Kostric, joined an Aug. 11 health care protest. This was blocks away and hours before Mr. Obama’s town-hall meeting in that city. Mr. Kostric was given permission to be on church property where the protest occurred and was not at the place the president visited. What most of the coverage left out was that Mr. Kostric didn’t carry his gun only for the protest; he legally carries a gun with him all the time for protection.

Note: McClatchy and several other large news sources are exceptions which have reported well on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
