Figure this would have a better chance of surviving in the Media Center than on the main page, and I'll be adding youtube and podcast links from time to time as I come across them, so it fits.
This has been something that's interested me from a very young age, all aspects of mysterious stuff, whether we're talking forgotten or forbidden archeology or civilization (Atlantis, pre-colombian exploration of america, etc), unexplained events (like Tunguska in 1908, the lost Roanoke Island colony, etc), paranormal events like ghosts, the study of ESP and that sort of thing, conspiracy (ranging from JFK to stuff like the perpetration of the drug war and the infilitration of the media by US intelligence) and, of course, UFOs (which to me means "unexplained" not "extraterrestrial" but that's a whole other topic).
Anything could show up, and everybody should feel free to add whatever they like. Just try to keep it as civil and respectful as possible. This is not intended to be a DC thread; it's as much for entertainment purposes as it is to solve all the world's mysteries.
**Although if anybody posts anything from Third Phase of Moon they should probably expect me to kick them in the balls.**
Few things I like to watch or listen to in no particular order (most of this can be found on itunes as well...):

No question there.
I have a real difficulty with people trying to drag church into the state, so to speak. They're ****ing with the foundation of the country, both constitutionally and historically, no matter how much they want to rationalize to themselves and everyone else with the whole "this has always been a Christian nation!" bullshit.
No. It has not. This has been a "Christian nation" since the 1950s when they propped up Communism as this Godless Atheist threat to everything good and Christian, and forced "God" into the pledge and onto money and into every other nook and cranny they could find. It's social engineering built on fear.
And it's, of course, the exact same thing they're doing right now with "Global warming isn't real/Science is bad!" "Don't vote for them, they're all socialists!" and that favorite old ditty "They want to take our guns!"
And that fear mongering works really great with a certain segment of the population, enough to get a president elected with a platform that amounts to little more than fear and vitriol. [Reply]
