The Trouble With Conspiratorial Thinking

Saturday July 9, 2005
Apparently, some of us are very powerful Satanic Freemasons who rule the world. Well, damn, I must have missed a memo. Looking beyond the patent absurdity of this nonsense, however, is a spirit of malicious ignorance. (And, apparently, insanity. If you're interpreting 'coded messages' in SPAM, you might need some fresh air.)
Wanna know the big scary ritual that occurs at an OTO lodge every Sunday? Attend one, already- it might have saved you weeks of quote mining and a few thousand dollars in damages. (If you go looking for ritual sacrifice or to snack on the blood of virgins, boy, are you going to be disappointed- but there might be beer at the corner pub afterward. And no, Henry Kissinger won't be there.)
Coded message begins: efil a teg!
