"I can assure you that flying saucers, given that they exist, are not constructed by any power on Earth."
This quote is attributed to Harry Truman by the UFO people and is usually followed with
– President Harry S. Truman. April 4, 1950. White House Press Conference.
But Truman didn't say it, nor did he have a press conference on that day, and yet that quote is showing up on some quote websites. It's just UFO believers lying for aliens again.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

"Popular Mechanics set out to investigate conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks in late 2004, just as those claims were emerging from the swamps of extremist websites and radical Islamist organizations. We had no idea how much trouble we were about to stir up. Our investigation found no evidence in support of the conspiracy claims.
The article unleashed a flood of criticisms and accusations from those supporting such theories. These attacks ranged from the preposterous (it was said our magazine had published this investigation on orders from a cabal of Masons and Illuminati) to alarming (death threats were referred to our security department). Clearly, we had touched a nerve."
James B. Meigs,
Editor-in-Chief of Popular Mechanics
Really? Death threats? Why would people be angry if you showed them they were wrongly informed? Are they in love with 9/11 conspiracies?
