Want to get people riled up and make others back away? Just mention the word “conspiracy”. Conspiracy theories talks usually get people to jump right in with their views and thoughts no matter how crazy or outlandish they may be. For other people they will look at you in horror that you would think such things go on and slowly back away to get out of the conversation.

It’s true, conspiracy theories are everywhere and involve just about anything. There are many people in the world that find a conspiracy that they just have to investigate themselves to prove the trueness or the falseness of the event.

You have, I’m sure, heard of a few of the most talked about conspiracy theories out there. Here are a few, see how many you’ve heard and what jumps out at you that you agree with?

Princess Diana’s Death. Was the accident fault of a drunk chauffer and the parade of paparazzi or was it an assassination?

Subliminal Advertising. Do you think that advitsers place split second scenes in commercials to get you to buy their product? It’s been said that a few rock bands had placed subliminal messages within their albums as well. Is it possible that a split second blurb would force you to do has it said?

John F. Kennedy’s Assassination. There is a conspiracy out about who killed him. Did Oswald work alone? Was he ordered by Fidel Castro? Was there in fact a second shooter?

And how about the Roswell cover up? Was it a UFO? Was it just a weather balloon or was it a top-secret military project?

The theories are endless and ever growing. How do you feel about them?

It is undeniable that airport security has improved greatly in recent years, and this is no doubt the reason why their have been so few successful terrorist attacks in the years following 9-11. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which was created in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, has been made aware of the need to help secure the areas around aircraft with the same amount of diligence that it protects passengers moving through the terminals. In order to accomplish this, the TSA will need to study the current safety and security issues that are common when planes are on the ground, and look for practical ways to correct these issues.

Many airports have been shown to have no specific definition for what defines a breach of security when it comes to protecting the perimeter around a plane when it is one the ground. Without a consistent definition for what defines the perimeter that should not be breached, it becomes incredibly difficult to determine if security has been breached. Politicians have started to look further into the issue to see what can be done to help not only define security breaches, but also to put in place steps to help protect planes from possible terrorist activity when they are on the ground.

Changes to the screening processes that are used for hiring airport personnel have also been recommended as ways to help prevent future acts of terrorism at airports. As politicians and safety official continue to learn lessons from what went wrong on 9-11 and implement security measures to prevent an event like that from ever happening again, it is important that the general public cooperate as these officials work to make air travel safer.

When it comes to aliens, people fall into one of three categories. It seems like you either believe aliens walking amongst us and studying earth and the human race, you think that aliens are a bunch of hooey and everyone who believes in them are nuts, or you feel that there could be planets capable of sustaining life but you fail to see why any alien capable of space travel would have reason to stop on earth.

Whether you believe in aliens are not, you have hear about Roswell and Area 51. What you might not have heard about is the equally interesting alien conspiracy theory known as Project Blue Book.

There’s a group of individuals who remain convinced that not only does the government know about alien races visiting earth, they’re equally convinced that the government, and more importantly the U.S. Air Force kept a log that could shed some light on the possibility of alien visitations. The blue book the conspiracy refers to is a book many feel the Air Force used to record data about UFO’s that were discovered flying over the United States. The government supported the recording of the information until 1969 when they ordered the practice of recording the information to be stopped.

According to individuals who saw the contents of the blue book, none of the UFO’s were deemed as a danger to the United States. The Air Force felt all were benign. Most feel that the blue book used for the project contains information about more than 12,618 UFO’s. While it’s possible that some of these items could have been odd looking asteroids and planes from other countries, many people are convinced that at least some of the UFO’s recorded in the blue book must have been alien air craft.

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. Some people believe them, while others are simply amused by the outlandish thought behind them. It is possible to find a conspiracy theory about just about every historical even that you can imagine. The tragedy of 9/11 even has some conspiracies surrounding it. Most of these conspiracies start out harmlessly enough, usually as a joke, but some people believe the story and pass it on, than before you know it, a conspiracy is born. Once the conspiracy gets started, it is very difficult to quell.

The most common and perhaps easiest 9/11 conspiracy to believe is that the Al Qaeda was not alone in their attack on the United States. Some people firmly believe that the organization had help by either the United States government or some other American based organization.

One of the most intriguing conspiracies about 9/11 is that the people who were on the four airplanes involved in the attacks are actually still alive. The people who believe this particular theory are convinced that the passengers on the planes did not die on impact. The belief is that the passengers are in fact alive and well and living with aliens.

There really is a group of people who believe that the whole 9/11 occurrence was something that was created so that aliens and humans could be bred to create some type of hybrid race. The individuals who believe this feel that the offspring of the humans and aliens are still living in the United States as regular folks.

The individuals who believe the alien 9/11 conspiracies don’t even think the aircraft actually crashed. They are convinced that the planes were actually repainted and are being used as some sort of spy/surveillance aircraft. The planes that were photographed flying into the World Trade Towers and Pentagons were in fact holograms.

My own mother always said that raising kids was a stressful job, but the truth behind her words never really sank in until I brought home my twins.  They were born on September 11, 2001 which turned out to be the most tragic day in American history.  I think it was a sign of what would come.  My twins are like little tornados, crashing into everything they can find and destroying anything they happen to touch.  When they were toddlers, there were days when I felt like I was going to explode. Even now that they are in school, it is stressful to keep them out of trouble.  I just have so many things that I need to do, and there are days when the only time it seems like I can breathe is when my kids finally go to bed for the night.

By the time the day is done I am exhausted, but I just can’t seem to fall asleep. It is like my mind keeps racing. I think about the upcoming school conferences, unfinished science projects, the neighbor’s window that my boys busted with their baseball, and the list goes on and on.  One of the best ways I have found to deal with the insomnia, as well as the stress of being a new mom is by playing bingo sites every night.

There are times when my nightly Fluffy Favourites bingo games are the only things that keep me going. They give me something to look forward to. I first started to play bingo late in my pregnancy after my doctor had put me on bed rest. I got involved with the game because Costa Bingo matched my initial deposit, making the game considerably more affordable than other online games like World of Warcraft, poker, and blackjack.

I had not played bingo since grade school and had forgotten just how much fun the game is. It is a game that instantly makes me feel happy, I think it has something to do with the fact that the website’s graphics are all so cheerful, especially at Bingocove. After playing the game for a few minutes I can feel my tension start to melt away. I did some research and found out that this is a perfectly normal reaction. In addition to helping reduce stress, the game of bingo also helps improves a person’s ability to remember things and to notice little details.

Another great thing about online bingo is that it makes me feel a little less alone in the world. No matter what time of the night I get online, there are always other members available who are willing to chat with me at the various new bingo websites. Not only are these members ready to talk about the game of bingo, but many of them are also mothers and have gone through the same things that I currently experience and they are a wonderful source of advice and inspiration.

September 11, 2001 is a day that changed my life forever.  I was one of the many people that went to work as usual on that fateful morning.  I was sitting in my second floor office in the first tower of the World Trade Center when the plane crashed into the building above me.  I managed to get out before it all collapsed, but dozens of my coworkers and friends died that day. During the next year, I moved to Appleton and I spent months in therapy coping with post traumatic stress disorder.

One of the things that my therapist suggested was connecting with other 9/11 survivors.  She felt like it would be helpful for me to talk with someone else who could really relate to how I was feeling.  I needed a friend who really understood what I was going through.  Since the Madison area didn’t have a lot of 9/11 survivors looming around, I turned to the internet in search of a forum or a website that could help me.  Unfortunately, there just wasn’t much out there that was designed for survivors.  That is when I decided it was time to get help from a web design professional.

I needed a skilled web designer that could create a site for me where survivors could network, post a profile, and share their stories.  I wanted an open forum that I could run from my home in Appleton where we could talk with each other and find other survivors around the nation.  I did some research and found a great group of Appleton website design professionals.  They created the site I needed and connected me with dozens of other survivors.  Suddenly, I had an entire network of support at my fingertips thanks to my skilled web developers!

During the website design process, I learned a lot about what it took to create a good website. Since then, a lot of people have asked me for advice on how to launch their own website for various charities and non-profits.  A few things that I always suggest include:

  • Check out the website design Chicago IL has to offer.  They have skilled professionals in that area that have reasonable prices for templates or sites built from scratch.

Connecting with others that have similar issues is a great way to cope with trauma in your life.
