Conspiracy Theorists, lets hear the claims.

Post by Kamakazie Sith »

I was recently involved in a discussion involving the Panama Canal, a person claimed that the Panama Canal is now under the control of "Red China! :o " I love the way they state it.

This person bombarded me with websites confirming that Panama sold the canal to the chinese, yet no official website confirms this.

To the point; These theories are funny to me, and I would like anyone interested to share their stories of ridiculous conspiracy theories.

I'm aware of that, however buying up land in Panama is IMO a far cry from buying the Panama Canal.

China might buy up land around the Canal, but any attempt to forcefully take the Canal would meet stiff US resistance. The Canal is VITAL to shipping in the world and the US will not allow anyone to deny access to it. Same reason the Suez Canal can be used by anyone IIRC.

The clamin steems from a big(In relation at least to any imingration at all) increase in Chineese Imagration to Panma plus the purchasing of Lands near both ends of the Canal, however the Cannal and the buffer zone(1.5 Miles if I remeber right) is still in place and owned by Panama

My personal favorite is this one.

China is building of military forces in Canada and will invade the US through Montana, thus we need to warn the US, but if the US ignores us, we will incite a riot and kill thousands of National Guard soldiers to force the US military to invade Montana, then we will run into Canada so the US military will follow us and discover the Chinesse buildup. :roll:

Black Helicopters. These black helicopters are small enough to fit in human blood vessels, those "chem trails" you see in the sky...yes those things that are created from the turbulence of jets are really swarms of black helicopters......flying down to infect your blood!!! :shock: :twisted:

I was once shown a website on these things.....and they had a picture. It was a black Apache Gunship....damn aliens they just simply aren't original anymore. Well maybe they are because I'm sure they are the first to consider a helicopter design for use in a liquid enviroment. LOL

Cell phone towers and radio antennas are actually mind control devices. The government uses them to beam mind altering radio waves to control and pacify the population, so that we go on about our everyday lives without questioning things. It's noted that urban areas have more people, and thus there's more radio and cell towers in cities. That's one of the better ones I've heard so far.

There is quite a bit of truth to this one; Bill Clinton was asked about Chinese control of the Panama Canal once (he presided over the transfer of control) and he pretty much stated without hestitation that the Chinese were going to be in control of the Panama Canal. He said he thought they wouldn't be too restrictive, however.

ALso, the fact that the Chinese Company that RUNS the canal for Panama
is wholly owned by the People's Liberation Army (Navy)

IIRC, it's a dummy corporation that's pretty much a front for the Chinese gov't.

One little thing. China couldn't stop the US from using the Canal even if they tried. The entire PLA(N) couldn't take on a single USN CVBG.

Apprently Alyeska has never heard of C4 and contact charges before, typicaly if one wanted you could get ooh 2/3 of a American Battlegroup(6-20 ships now-adays) in the Channel at the same time, C-4 the Locks then toss in some charges(Read Sitting Ducks) and the Chines not only destroy a major sea-traffic vessel but also maybe get a free carrier or two sunk out of the deal

Carriers are too large for the Canal.

Simply put if China ever decided to deny the Canal to the US, the US would take the Canal over simple as that. It is to vital a shipping lane to be arbitrairly closed off.

Did you not listen to what Mr. Bean Said? The Chinese control the
company that RUNS, OPERATES, and MAINTAINS the fucking Canal!

All they have to do is bring in enough C-4 in the dead of the night, and
NOBODY's using the canal for some time....

How is your fucking F-14 Tomcat going to stop a bunch of Chinese from
setting off enough C-4 to sink a fucking battleship in the middle of the night
on one of the locks of the canal, ruining it for quite some time?

It's not near quite as bad as media propaganda make it out to be. Most citizens don't even encounter any human rights violations, much less subjected to strong-arm tactics by the government.

If China damages it, the US will suplant the Chinesse control and take it over themselves. If China damages it with intent on harming US ships, China has just declared war with the US and is Fucked

If they actually go to the lengths to blow up or seize the panama Canal, it's
World Fucking War III, Alyeska. Destroying the Canal has military and strategic benefits..

Besides the Canal destruction could be blamed on "terrorism",
especially after several islamic dudes end up dead several miles downriver....

That would be a rather nice method of Economic warfare.

Or.....having the canal workers STRIKE....mHWHWHWH
