The discussion centers around the mysterious death of Professor Jeong I am, who was brutally murdered, leading to speculation about a potential conspiracy targeting scientists, particularly those in microbiology and bioweapons research. Some participants argue that the deaths of over 40 scientists since 9/11 could indicate a pattern of targeted killings, while others suggest these incidents are coincidental and part of broader crime trends rather than a conspiracy. The conversation touches on the nature of data mining and how it can lead to misleading conclusions when analyzing such deaths. Additionally, there are debates about the motivations behind the deaths of certain scientists, with references to historical instances of targeted assassinations. Ultimately, the thread reflects a mix of skepticism and concern regarding the safety of scientists in sensitive fields.

There is also one more question. How much of what they claim did they actually get right? Most often the "whacky" conspiracy theorists will latch on to information from credible sources and then exagerate it to all hell and back.

Believe what you want, people. I've said my piece in this thread. Just don't be surprised when the doodoo hits the fan and more people start dying. Top government officials have STATED that it's only a matter of time.
Please post a link to the article you read that states this. We don't allow statements like this if they cannot be proven.

Wasn't scientists getting assasinated one of the signs of the apocalypse?


No - no, wait that was the AntiChrist...I knew it had "ist" in the name though.

Um... no... neither scientists, nor the anti-christ being assassinated is related to the end times. Are you ipmliyng that scientists are in some way related to being anti-christ? Christian fundamentalism is abhorrent.

Wow - no. Entirely a joke.

Forgive any bad taste on my part, although I do believe the anti-Christ dies in the end. But, true, probably not assassinated.

I plan to tell the same joke in the Bible Belt next week, just substituting "fundamentalist" for scientist. I'll let you know how it goes over! My gut feeling, though - very well.

- O'bannion.

what about all those suspiciously coincidental deaths in the alternative energy field? E.g. Did big oil / nuclear murder Eugene Mallove last year as he was Cold Fusion's champion?
