Right, it’s now been over a week since this “conspiracy” was announced.  In the meanwhile, a little-known Jamaican athlete was dropped from their Olympic team.  Bolt is still on the team with no indication that things will be otherwise any time soon.  And the Olympics have started.

So, if he participates in the Olympics without being thrown out, the people who went around spreading this conspiracy idea will post a public retraction saying that they’d made a mistake, right?

Kyoon is echoing the Truth. But in boards like this one where I am posting myself, I am asking here Kyoon not to do it.

Accipiter, you should use the first prinicple of debating: only take one issue at a time.

I ran this through the Transfrmr-Lator and here’s what it turned into

“Kyoon is a friend of mine who I told about this forum and also cannot write coherently, this is my place to not make sense Kyoon!

Accipeter, could you take mercy on us and only shoot down one part of our argument at a time, when you shoot the whole thing down at once, I look foolish.”

Other than the subtitling service, I (and I suspect, most others) never bothered trying to get any useful information out of Teletext once I had access to a computer.

A number of broadcast authorities have recently found fit to cease the transmission of teletext services, notably CNN International [4]. Most pages are still available, although they have not been updated since 31 October 2006.

“Broadcast in parallel with CNN International and available to over 109 million cable and satellite households in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and in 1.5 million hotel rooms, CNNtext is the world’s leading teletext service that compliments CNN’s unsurpassed”

In the rest of Illuminatiland (Germany, France,etc) teletext is the mass media the article refers to.
Example: German state TV

Good grief, what the heck did you do to those quotes?!?

Twilight Zone theme plays.

There’s one rather serious flaw with your plot that some sinister conspiracy is smearing Bolt’s name by constant mention of doping in connection with him:  it’s not happening.  He’s already been doing spectacularly at the games and appearing in the news constantly, and what do we find when looking online for anything about him?

<a href=http://www.stuff.co.nz/4657453a26500.html>Here</a> is an article, from a New Zealand news source, about Bolt that doesn’t mention doping at all.

<a href=http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/athletics/story/2008/08/14/olympics-athletics-men.html>Here’s</a> another from Canada that’s the same way.

<a href=http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/country=JAM/athcode=184599/index.html>Here’s</a> the International Association of Athletics Federation’s page on Bolt.  No mention of doping.

And <a href=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2008-06-01-bolt-inside_N.htm>here’s</a> a USA Today article on Bolt.  No mention of doping.

The same with <a href=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/athletics/7429745.stm>this</a> BBC article.

And with <a href=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/athletics/article4042917.ece>this</a> article from the Times.

What does the <a href=http://www.hindu.com/2008/07/20/stories/2008072056922000.htm>Hindu</a>, an Indian new source, have to say about Bolt?  Nothing about drugs.

<a href=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/usainbolt>Here’s</a> a whole series of articles from the Guardian about Bolt’s performance at the Olympics.  Nothing about doping there.

<a href=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/2506738/2008-Beijing-Olympics-Usain-Bolt-set-to-run-in-both-the-100-and-200-metres—-Olympics.html>Here</a> is an article from the Telegraph from just before the Olympics started.  Nothing about doping.

And <a href=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/olympics/athletics/7562259.stm>this</a> is a BBC account of one of the races Bolt ran in the other day at the Olympics.  Nothing about doping in it.

The Japan Herald <a href=http://story.japanherald.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/bf053b50c46383e0/id/395000/cs/1/>reported</a> on the results of one of the Olympic runs and mentions Bolt but not doping.

<a href=http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSPEK31195820080815?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&pageNumber=1&virtualBrandChannel=0>Here’s</a> a long article from Reuters reporting on the Olympics.  Plenty in it about Bolt, nothing about doping.

Even Fox News manages to <a href=http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,404804,00.html>report</a> on Bolt’s progress in Beijing without mentioning doping.

The <a href=http://en.beijing2008.cn/>official Olympics website</a> doesn’t say a thing about Bolt and doping.

<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt>Here</a> is the Wikipedia (that XXXX has said is a tool of the Illuminati) article on Bolt.  It mentions nothing about doping.

And there are lots and lots and lots of other web pages showing Bolt’s progress in Beijing.

<a href=http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition/la-sp-olytrack14-2008aug14,0,578493.story>Here’s</a> an article from the LA Times that mentions Bolt and emphasises that there is no evidence of him having used illegal drugs.  That’s the only one that came up on my searches that so much as mentioned doping and Bolt in the same article.  On every other website I went to there was no mention of it, even in the comments sections.  And that’s when doing web searches for Usain Bolt, Bolt Olympics, Bolt Beijing, and several other such searches that could be reasonably expected from anybody looking for him, as well as from just looking through the recent sports news from various major media sources.  So there is no sinister effort being made to keep connecting Usain Bolt to drugs.  It’s simply not happening.  And even when there was talk about a Jamaican runner being disqualified for doping back before the games started, it was always reported in connection with the fact that Bolt was not involved.  This whole “conspiracy” never even got started.

Took out some of the contents of quoted posts without removing the tags too.

Madmouse loves BLT more than she does me!  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
*cries*

:lol:
More that, since I was one of the people quoted, I didn’t want anyone confusing what I’d said with what BLT said - I don’t want that kind of reputation! 😉

Well, here are the latest articles I could find from various major news sources.

Strangely enough, not a single one of those articles even mentions drugs or doping.

“[color=olive]Bolt and Spearmon are buddies, and they clowned around with each other after the finish. While Bolt was doing a TV interview at trackside, Spearmon sneaked up and stuck two fingers behind the Jamaican

Well done, but don’t you have anything better to do with your time?

Actually, I usually browse through the various news sources on a daily basis anyway.  So all I’m doing is keeping an eye out for anything about Usain Bolt while I’m doing so.

Speaking of which:  I haven’t seen any of the Illuminati’s evil anti-Bolt propaganda today, either.  How exactly is un-promulgated un-propagated propaganda supposed to influence world opinion?
