Just saw my invite and decided to have a look around. I have read the Orphan Trilogy and loved them. If they were based on truth, it wouldn't surprise me. Many people say that those who believe in conspiracy theories have tinfoil hates. But that reminds me of a line from one of Olen Steinhauer's Tourist series (can't remember which one) where it was stated that "if someone can come up with a conspiracy theory, someone else has already tried it'. Love that line. Or watch the movie Parallax View and research the deaths of those who witnessed Kennedy's assassination.

What I tend to say in response to those who doubt conspiracies. If there were no conspiracies, why would the government create the RICO act?

Again, thanks for the invite.

Thanks for your comments Daniel. Glad you enjoyed our trilogy. All of most of the conspiracy theories touched on in that series are explored in depth in our non-fiction book The Orphan Conspiracies. In it, we make a distiction between 'ordinary' conspiracy theorists and the Tinfoil Hat variety...or Tinfoil Hatters as we call them.

Welcome Sadashivan! -Your site devoted to the worldwide child labor crisis should be compulsory viewing for all. http://www.sadashivan.com/

One comment caught my eye… There are an estimated 200-300 million child workers globally !!! (That is surely a blight on humanity).

We address this in The Orphan Conspiracies under ‘Bankrupting the Third World.’ Here’s a blog we did regarding it… http://morcanbooksandfilms.com/2014/0...

I do hope you share more of your info/knowledge with us going forward.

I also love wine and Belgian chocolates.

I'm Kelly, I'm from Australia. I read practically anything. I'm studying Nursing at uni. Tony Abbott is driving me crazy at the moment. He keeps talking about ISIL and Malaysian Airlines like he doesn't know what is going on.

Hello all,

Hey Karena - Welcome to the group! Plenty of interesting books in this group's Bookshelves, you'll see. Feel free to discuss any or all...

[Osama]

Hello everyone!
This is Osama Ahmad, the unstoppable bookworm. I am a freshman student studying engineering. I enjoy thrillers, spy novels and science fiction, and I get super excited when these genres intersect. One of my favorite novels is Jurassic Park and I'm looking forward to the new movie, Jurassic World, which comes out next year. Thanks for the invite, Mr. James Morcan!

[Mike]

Hi everyone, nice to meet you. I'm Mike, an Englishman in New York (probably not permanently). I mainly like to read history and biography, but also some fiction, and I'm beginning to get into speculative fiction a bit too. The dark nooks and crannies of history tend to interest me a good deal.

Welcome Mike. Given yr reading preferences, I suggest there are one or two books in this group's Bookshelves that may appeal.

[Lauren]

Hello! I'm new to the group. I'm Lauren and i'm currently studying (nearly finished!) 2 degrees - a bachelor of nursing and a bachelor of criminology and criminal justice. I love this group already! I am very open minded and love discussing the various aspects of the goings-on in the world today. Especially government cover ups. I have written a book - its been published for just under a month now - called Daddy's Girl and its a crime thriller. I look forward to speaking with you all :)

[Lance, Group Founder]

Welcome Lauren. Being open-minded is a prerequisite for membership of this group...so you've passed the first test! I digress, but...nursing and criminology seems an intriguing mix. We look forward to hearing more from you...

[Lauren]

Hi Lance, yeah i believe having an open mind really opens you up for more possibilities in various aspects of life. I want to be a forensic pathologist later in life, so that's what i'm currently working towards. Just filled in the paperwork to sit the medicine exam next year :/ which i'm a bit nervous about...

Thanks and welcome Jeannie. Nothing wrong with skepticism as long as it's the healthy variety. You will find many of the so-called conspiracy theories debated in this group are more fact than theory. Hence the group's moniker...Underground Knowledge. Anyways, hope you enjoy the group.

Thanks for posting the info & link! :-)

[Jim]

I joined this group a couple of weeks ago but this is my first post. I'm interested in conspiracies and revisionist history. I regard myself as a moderately skeptical enthusiast.

I'm aware of the human brain's need to make order out of chaos which leads us to seek conspiracies to explain events. That doesn't mean I think conspiracies don't happen. They do, every day. I just try not to jump to conclusions.

We'll probably never know the whole truth about JFK. It happened before I was born and most of the people involved are dead. I strongly suspect Oswald either didn't act alone or wasn't involved at all until the end. I plan on doing more research here.

I also think we don't know the whole story about Oklahoma City and the September 11, 2001 attack. I strongly suspect Cheney and Rumsfeld as the brains behind the latter but I could be wrong about that.

I don't think everything is a deliberate conspiracy. People are dumb and violent and crazy sometimes. You don't need a government mind control program for that.

My name, obviously, is Mark. Someone from the endless (often pleasantly so) "overrated books" thread invited me here. I think E.D.

Conspiracy theories? As Wlliam Seward Burroughs said: "There is one mark that you cannot beat and that is the mark inside."

No conspiracy theory proven or unproven will save you from that one.

You'll have to translate that for me some time, Mark. Regardless...welcome to the group.

P.S. - Many (maybe most) topics discussed in this group are based on fact, not theory. That said, all viewpoints are welcome...incl. yours.

[Little]

Little Miss Esoteric. Not a believer or a skeptic. I just like to look at things, and ask myself why. It's a big, weird world, and that's just the part that we can actually see, and experience.
