From here they go to the Annunaki, :roll: :

Here they go to the Philadelphia Experiment, which is sort of cool I guess... but instead of actually discussing the realities of the program, they dump a TIME TRAVEL label on it to make the whole thing look absurd:

And then after these ridiculous ideas they bring us to the Moon Landings, from which they build a strawman so flimsy you could topple it with a blink.

What is funny, is that they 'de-bunk' all criticism of moon-landing skepticism with a source from who? Well, NASA, of course :D

If NASA says, then it must be true that they say lol Nice circular logic there:

Another funny thing I noted was that they divide the debate into 'CONSPIRACISTS' and 'RATIONALISTS'... implying linguistically that conspiracists by nature are not rational:

This was a nice solid bit of de-bunking, especially after the previous page talks about leaving prints in the sand:
case closed, lol

Another example of how the accused is somehow the credible source to absolve themselves...

This was about an Iranian passenger plane that was supposedly shot down by US military. But, alas, THE PENTAGON DID AN INVESTIGATION, and exonerated the accused.

Gotta love when the Pentagon's word is taken as gospel for crimes committed by the Pentagon, lol

Then they cap the issue with brief talk of Apocalypse theories, and crazy Christians who think Jesus is coming back, and how others think Obama is the Anti-Christ:

The issue ends on that note.

Nauseating isn't it? Most people firmly believe in the authority of large outlets like that and are led around by them.

I do like the rationalist / conspiracist trick they used there though. Propoganda techniques are actually pretty interesting when you see them as such. Little tricks that slip past the casual reader unquestioned.

It has to make you wonder though, when they are so obviously laying it on thick, what else are they distorting? These magazines can't really be trusted to report on anything accurately that may overlap with establishment political interests.
