Reducio ad absurdum.
The link in the "Remember the Maine Hoax" entitled "annexing Hawaii" sends the reader to a citationless website along the lines of websites I've seen promoting the idea that Texas is also a separate country. It also includes a 'press release' from the Sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii. Interesting. How, or why, you'd expect me to take something like that seriously, I cannot fathom. At best, that link is an editorial piece, and a laughable one at that.
The second link - "the brutal genocide..." - sends the reader to another article on the same website. Sorry, circumlocution in either the written or verbal form doen't quite cut it; it's little more than a form of, "'cause I said so." If I want tautologies, I'll partake of religion.
Moving on...the link in the Pearl Harbor website leads to a Geocities page. That is, as I recall, a repository for personal websites, is it not? And, as it turns out, the author of the website is, what-do-you-know, selling a book of his own authorship on that topic. Yes indeed.
The paragraph containing the "Gulf of Tonkin 'Hoax'" contains no citations.
While the so-called 'Incubator Hoax,' involving the 1st Gulf War, is memorable from the perspective that the quote was bogus, I find the conjecture that it was in any way momentous in the public's support of the war mendacious to an extreme. People were, if you recall, revved up to kick he crap out of Iraq - remember the flags and yellow ribbons far and wide? - even with tales of impending chemical warfare and trench-style fighting from the brass. Furthermore, the "April Glaspie" link is completely uncited as the "Desert Storm" link suffers the same fault as "the brutal genocide" link (see above, "'cause I said so").
The "Bosnian Serb" paragraph is undocumented, as are the following paragraphs on the Sudanese factory and the 'Serbian MIG.'
Continuing. The next link, "who offered...", which purports to speak about the FBI talking someone out of dismantling the bomb that detonated under the WTC in 1993, brings the reader to a website that, while it (humbly) tells a reader WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, doesn't mess with paltry concepts like citations or documentation.
Evidence? Don't be silly. An evidently authorless, documentation-free webpage will tell you WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. Just be happy with that, and move along sharply.
On the other hand, there are more than 30 - count 'em, thirty - links to books for sale on the bottom of the page.
Now that's a conspiracy.
