Talk:Black helicopter conspiracy theory

message: I don't know that this should really be a separate article, or perhaps it could be revised, as the topic is not really "black helicopters" but is really theories regarding them.  Maybe it could be better explained at the outset what the observed phenomenon is, and then what is allegedly special, or not special, about it. --Daniel C. Boyer

There is a lot of information on the subject (though not here yet...), so I think it would be prudent to keep it separate.  I see your point about the title though.  I'm about out of interest on this one however.

thread_title:  heliocopters 

message: I added a comment in the Black Helicopter Facts about defense contractors and helicopter manufacturers flying black helicopters in public. This comes from personal experience, so I'm hoping I'm not violating some sort of wiki convention. Bell Helicopter Textron conducts training and demonstrations at several airfields in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, some of which use helicopters such as a black Bell JetRanger with a mast-mounted FLIR (or something) for training clients on. On occasion, these helicopters would be flown from one Bell airfield to another. --YoungFreud 04:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Defense contractor use 

message: How about King of the Hill as another reference in popular culture. In one episode Dale mentions a conspiracy involving black helicopters that he read on alt.conspiracy.black.helicopters
Not sure about this part though: it's a real newsgroup, but did it exist prior to the KoH episode, or was in created after the fact?
"Conspiracy theorists would probably not be comforted to know that small-arms fire is almost entirely ineffective against a well-planned helicopter mission, and that the use of automatic weapons would mark the firing positions for counter-fire and air strikes. However, surface to air missiles are particularly effective against helicopters, with many infrared-guided weapons able to acquire targets from any angle of launch. Other weapons, such as the Rocket Propelled Grenade have also been used against low flying helicopters, with some success (See Battle of Mogadishu)."
This section seems out of place. It's directive and speaks towards the view of the conspiracy theorists rather than as part of an explanation of the beliefs surrounding the 'black helicopters'. I think it should be expunged.
I deleted that crazy paragraph. It looked like an excerpt frome something like "The Complete How-To: Black Helicopter Survival and Guerrilla Tactics". If anyone can think of a reason for including it, I would love to hear it. I was looking around wikipedia for examples of how term Conspiracy theory is used when I found it. There's a lot of controversy going on at the 9/11 pages about the use of the terms conspiracy theory and theorist right now. SkeenaR 05:47, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
