Chocky, those were good points you raised. As I posted here before, I also found plenty of flaws in the thesis. However, there's good reason why 83% of the people polled did not think the two boys acted alone. You say well of course the early accounts and the later accounts will vary. Really? What about the guy led away in handcuffs and nothing more was heard about it? What about the eyewitness accounts of these others, like the 'ugly guy with the bushy eyebrows?' Something very suspicious about this whole thing.

Song: For What It's Worth Lyrics

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

In the 80's it was

Police type sytcoms. Message: Criminals are everywhere
Assasinations: Message: Evil forces everywhere
Military Buildup: Message: You are not safe, we need more missiles
Drug War: Message: We can win this war which is an asult on our kids

In the 90's

Kids Blowing each other: Message: You can not be safe anywhere, even school
More Prisons: Message: Criminals in jail = Your safe
Car Alarms/House Alarms Message: You need more safety as you are not safe enough

I am sure you guys can fill in, but the picture is fairly clear.

We need the nation to chill out, sit on the couch etc. That grass they made illegal could have helped. We are not in a good shape in the psychi.

I remember in the 70's how relaxed American's were, but the same is not true today. Long hair can start the weird glances today.

There's a more interesting line of enquiry than the obvious rubbish posted at konformist.

At least one of the killers was on Prozac or Prozac equivalent.

It's not the first time that people taking this drug have exhibited psychotic or suicidal behaviour and i think we'll find that the colossal amount of prescription drugs Americans take has a lot to do with incidents like this one.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chicken_Little', 'I')t's not the first time that people taking this drug have exhibited psychotic or suicidal behaviour


We give them to people when they're depressed. Of course prozac users are more likely to have mental problems. That's why they're on prozac.

The SSRI-suicide conection is, IMHO, just another case of baseless political fearmongering by none other than the repugnant and spineless senator from New York, Charles Schumer.

Thank you for your explanation that Prozac is given to people who are depressed.

The point being made here is that anecdotal evidence from users suggests that, all things being equal, Prozac causes a susceptible percentage of depressed users, who would not otherwise have done so, to behave suicidally and/or homicidally in a subjectively uncontrollable manner, i.e. it induces a psychotic state in these users.

This can't be scientifically proved yet, but i think it will be.

Don't know who the hell Charles Schumer is, since i'm not from the Fourth Reich myself.

You seem a little defensive about Prozac - you're a pill popper yourself?

Not prozac, luvox. I get the impression that someone was sleeping during the lecture! Konformist certainly isn't the only place to look at for this. I'll bet there are others who have found this case to have more to it than the 'official' version. And we here know better than to go along with the sheeple on everything.

Don't patronise me. I said Prozac or Prozac equivalent.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')uvox is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) that is approved for children and youth (up to age 17) for use in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder. However, doctors often give it for depression, since it is in the same SSRI class as Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil.

According to the manufacturer, Solvay, 4% of children and youth taking Luvox developed mania during short-term controlled clinical trials. Mania is a psychosis which can produce bizarre, grandiose, highly elaborated destructive plans, including mass murder. Interestingly, in a recent controlled clinical trial, Prozac produced mania in the same age group at a rate of 6%. These are very high rates for drug-induced mania--much higher than those produced in adults. Yet the risk will be even higher during long-term clinical use where medical supervision, as in the case of Harris, is much more lax than in controlled clinical trials. These drugs also produce irritability, aggression or hostility, alienation, agitation, and loss of empathy.



edit to add - ok, say i buy your case that the gub'mint was secretly behind the columbine tragedy - what's in it for them? wouldn't the government have been able to build bombs that actually exploded or train the killers to build reliable bombs? how do you explain all the videos the killers made? Who benefitted from the tragedy?

I wasn't patronizing you, chicken little, just a gentle rib-poking maybe. There had already been a discussion of the specific substance that Eric Harris was taking in this thread, that's all. What's in it for the government? It gets back to the notion, often scoffed at, of a shadow government. That would be sinister off-budget organizations which do the dirty work, psy-ops. One idea would be that they are conditioning the public for martial law. They are aiming to keep social control during a massive global die-off and for this reason they do these sinister things. It strikes fear into the populace. Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City bombing, 911 are all psy-ops aimed at cowering the people. After all, why would we be having all these horrendous events happening? Put that together with Peak Oil and connect the dots. A fearful populace is more likely to give up their liberty and do what they are told.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chicken_Little', 'D')on't know who the hell Charles Schumer is, since i'm not from the Fourth Reich myself.


Probably my least favorite of all America's detestable politicians. Was knee deep in all the lies and disinformation about "assault weapons" back in the early 90's. Big supporter of the invasion at Waco. Just a very smarmy obnoxious person IMHO.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chicken_Little', 'Y')ou seem a little defensive about Prozac - you're a pill popper yourself?


No. I'd rather deal with my own issues than pop pills, personaly. I do prescribe the stuff some though. Do I think psych meds are a good thing? No. But when every other facet of society fails, I'm the last stop. The parents fail. The community fails. The schools fail. So finally they drag this screwed up kid into my office. I do what doctors always do. I throw a chemical at the problem. Actually I guess there is one more stop after me. That would be Jato locking them up.

Now everybodys all freaked out and comes running to me because they saw on 60 minutes that paxil was going to make their kid commit suicide. It's common knowledge. Chuck Schumer knows it. He pressured the FDA to put a black box warning on the med. The FDA didn't know it, but they knew where their funding comes from so they did what they were told. Now 60 minutes is telling my patients about it, but no one has ever proven it, despite years of looking.

Media/government hysterics about non-existant problems ticks me off. That's all.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'C')ould you give us your professional opinion of luvox, smallpoxgirl?


Well...I've never personally prescribed Luvox. There are maybe 10 different SSRI's. When a class has that many drugs in it, a doc usually picks out a couple that they use and are comfortable with. I generally stick with older drugs when I can because they have been better studied and are less likely to have surprises. I use Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil which are all SSRI's just like Luvox. SSRIs are way better than the depression meds that came before them. Less side effects. Less danger from overdoses.

I can't imagine ever taking one of those meds personally. I figure you work your own stuff out. If somebody else figures their life is so bad that they need meds to cope, I don't really figure it's my place to tell them no. I don't know that they fix anybody's problems, but sometimes they make life livable when it wasn't before. I recon that's worth doing.

Thanks, smallpoxgirl. Folks, I don't really know what to make of anything happening in the world anymore. All this 911 debate, and what really happened at Waco which seems so patently sinister. I just know that I think Peak Oil is real as well as the very serious issue of North American shortages of NG. I also know that the authorities have known about this. I read a CIA.gov report myself stating that Soviet oil production would peak in the 80's which was written in the 70's. So they've known for a long time. And now we have all these sinister events. Is it not natural to put two and two together?

I'm trying to confirm some of the more incriminating circumstances of the konformist article, particularly the claim that they didn't work alone. So far with no luck. Trying to sift through the crap can be daunting.

No there's a GENUINE conspiracy. I never thought about Waco and the US government in the same way after i watched Waco: Rules of Engagement. In Australia they actually showed this on SBS, which is a government funded TV channel that shows mainly non-english news, movies and documentaries from around the world.

I wonder about that a lot. Is there more crap or is the crap the same as always and the internet just allows us access to better information (a better crap detector)?

Our own history is full of our government treating groups of Americans like crap!

Same crap, different day? I dunno!?! :cry:

As to the issue is American public conditioned to marshal Law, well just go to the airport. We are being conditioned just fine there. Every one looking at each other like a potential assassin. Anyone looking like an Arab is in trouble. etc.

US is spooked and needs its power shut off to slow down. This way it might be able to listen to itself. Less TV and electronics may be just the right medicine.

I don't think its a case of same crap, different day. The list of things from the nineties, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City, and all the strange high school butchery, and then 911 is all too much. I don't think this is just business as usual. Then all the weird stories about provacative airport searches adds to a sense that we are being led to the slaughter like lambs.
