A new theory - the Hindenberg

The Hindenburg disaster wasn't caused by a hydrogen explosion or lightning setting fire to the fabric. That much is obvious.

It was actually a controlled demolition of a remote control missile over which a hologramme of the Hindenburg was projected.

It was all done by the military-industrial complex to discredit lighter-than-air travel in favour of fixed-wing heavier-than-air airliners.

You're right.

Plane travel has really taken off since the Hindenburg went down, coincidence? I think not.

I suppose the Hindenburg's concrete core made it fall slightly faster than free-fall.

Yes and it all happened not too long after that Zionist iceberg took out the Titanic, precipitating WW1.
WW1 was necesary so that the Illuminati could set up the League of Nations.
The League of Nations was a Zionist front dedicated to bringing Hitler to power through a subtle campaign to eventually set up the state of Israel.
Israeli agents were resposible for 9/11 so that the US could go to war in Iraq.

It's all so obvious.

But the Hindenburg SHOULDN'T have collapsed at all, as it was designed to withstand the impact of a Sopwith Camel at approach speeds.

The top portion of the Empire State Building, from the 86th to the 102nd floor, was designed as a mooring mast for dirigibles (true). John Jacob Raskob, a Jew, had that portion added so that if needed he could "accidentally" ram a hydrogen dirigible into the building, setiting the whole ESB ablaze, for the insurance money. Since Raskob's building barely reached 50% occupancy due to the Depression, he was about to put his plan into effect, but the Hindenburg crash ended the era of lighter-than-air travel.

Disinformation artist, it was the RMS Lusitania.
The Titanic was just stupidity by Zionist trying to prove technological superiority. The unsinkable ship that sinks.

http://www.firstworldwar.com/features/lusitania.htm

She was sunk by implanted thermite, the mines and the coal bunker explosion were just to make it look like an accident.
The Hindenburg was build with an aluminum themite skin, purposefully to be ignited buy Alquida operatives with matches working for the government.

I sit corrected.
And of course the Assasination of Arch Duke Ferdinand of Bavaria wasn't the work of a crazy Serb acting alone... He was just a PATSIE for the Austro-Hungarian petrochemical conglomerates.

And John Wilkes Booth wasn't acting alone either.. he was working for Big Cotton and the Project for a New American (19th) Century. The (Gas Lamp) Illuminati were displeased with Lincoln, none of that "with charity for all" crap for them.

God, we could go on like this all day...

I think that probably explains a lot about these CTs. It can be fun just typing in a string of random nonsense.
It is so easy to manufacture history if your audience is ignorant.

Let's not forget the Establishment want us to think that the only reason the Archduke Ferdinand was shot was becasue his chauffeur took a wrong turning, taking him into the path of the assassin who'd already given up and was going home. We all know such coincidences never happen in real life. It was a set up from the start. Oh yes. These conspiracies go back centuries.

I blame the guy who invented fire, myself.

Ah, but the discovery of fire was quashed for centuries by powerful agricultural interests and the conservative Darkness lobby.

Oh please, the Hindenberg was obviously taken out by the American Helium lobby.

What country produces far more helium than any other?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium#Production

In which country did the Hindenberg crash?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenb...9#The_disaster

Which country gives aid to Israel AND needs blimps on a regular basis?

*psst* Do I look like a real CTist poster yet?

Largely irrevlivant. Questions have been raised over the thermite like properties of the skin (strangly true).

Silly people. The Illuminati and Zionists are just scapegoats set up by the Milk Marketing Board to ensure no-one ever suspects where the true conspiracy is. No-one except me of course. I have conclusive proof of everything, but I can't tell you because then I'd have to kill you. Or they'd have to kill me. Something like that anyway.

Well lucky for you the milk marketing board has become so factionalised. Cheese, Yoghurt, Cream, Whole Milk, Low Fat, No Fat all too busy fighting amongst themselves to see who the real enemy is. The menace from the EAST!
