The volcano Conspiracy

Freepers once again managed to impress me with their conspiracy theories about the whole "don't fly through ash clouds" regulations in Europe after the Icelandic volcano eruption:

rovenstinez is pretty sure Obama is involved:

THESE governments aren´t working. They just SCARE. Do you think our guy in Washington was pushing buttons and telling them to keep things grounded...as green as he is..

Carling knows ash clouds are just like normal clouds:

I’m from Oregon. People fly through clouds thicker than this most days of the winter.

TigersEye thinks this is some kind of globalist conspiracy to take over the economy, and also snub Poland:

It helps to bankrupt the EU moving us all closer to the global economic system and it provided a convenient excuse for 0bama, Merkel and Sarkozy to cancel going to Kaczynski’s funeral. Don’t want to PO Putin ya know.

Stoat follows the money and ends up with some kind of blue collar conspiracy:

Somebody got rich. Who was it?

Hoteliers and restaurateurs located near airports.

Taxi drivers.

Telephone companies.

Probably most any service industry in or near airports.

DoughtyOne has a little theory:

I’ve got this little theory banging around in my head, and it seems to me that the Western powers that be are trying to take down the middle-class. Every chance they get to take some of them down a notch or ten, they’re going to do it.

How else do you explain things like this? They could tell in a matter of hours if the air was clean or not. They didn’t care to check it out.

Snap of the fingers, tens of thousands of people were cut off and under a severe financial strain (in some instances).
