I've always wanted to start a "save the Jackalopes" campaign. I've already convinced my 13yo brother that destruction of habitat and overhunting have put them on the endangered species list.

My favorite existing one is http://www.dhmo.org .

Other than that I've always wanted to make a crop circle (in a fallow field of course. No desire to damage some innocent farmer's crops.)

Really, all you'd have to do is slip the Illuminati into each of the conspiracy theories. That'd be all the link you need to prove they were all connected.

Its easy enough to do. I've often held that a lot of nature documentaries are filmed with a slant similar to Triumph Of The Will. I remember a David Suzuki film about "sacred nature" and he did the usual consumer=evil bit--and what do you know--he stops by a jewel-sellers shop. We've all seen this before, people.

In many documentaries, all human endeavor is reduced to two images of a mine and a dump.

If all I did was shoot a hair-lipped two-spot horny toad eating and defecating and reduce its life in such a way--it would be called bad filmaking.

I once had a picture of an activist standing outside McD's with the usual "Meat is Murder" sort of sign. He was wearing a leather jacket and belt.

How's this for a conspiracy:

It's not a world wide involved one, but rather one that involves a single person; Jay Windley.

He has been absent from BAUT for months.
Now, it so happens before he "vanished", he was involved in a discussion on the moon hoax thread on "Loose Change".

The conspiracy, then, is that because he was a potential threat to the "truth movement", he was silenced!

It's easy to arrange something like that.

Nah, Monquie's already owned up to the French doing it.

Has it been debunked? Don't think mine has.
