Scaremongering? Effective. A warning? Not impossible, imo.

One thing that strikes me about this is... how BADLY made the images are. It's not entertaining - in fact it's quite tedious to read - so why would a high-profile mainstream newspaper give up valuable print space for it? Standards for comics in newspapers are usually much higher than this, which leads me to believe it serves purposes other than mere entertainment.

Out of 200 posts in this thread this is probably the most pertinent one.
What's with the endless bickering? Let's adopt a little logic shall we...
For the moment, forget the comic strip's content. Let's first try to establish why the Telegraph would print such a poorly produced, inconsistent and meandering comic strip.
What else can be found in the 'culture' section? First impressions tell me there are no holds barred.
If it is pure fiction, then what kind of audience is it actually aimed at? I can't think of a single person I know who would find it in the least bit entertaining as a work of 'fiction'.

Why are you so relentlessly trying to prove your point?
If you don't agree with this thread then move along and let the others discuss this constructively. BTW, this IS a conspiracy theory website.
Perhaps you should go post on one of the mental-health forums on the Net where your input will be more appreciated.
So are you saying that because this is a conspiracy board only one side of the story should be discussed and everyone should agree with the OP. That isnt very fun is it. I will tell you what, if this comes true I will admit I was wrong about everything I ever posted. Also I am not saying there wont be a nuclear attack on a city, it is very possible. However there are many that predict this as a possibility, not just some comic.

Hmmmm, I have to agree with Chad on this one. I do not think that there is more to it. It is just an online comic of a popular theory (I used to do things like this at uni, doesn't mean I was in on it or that I was right).
It is for entertainment purposes, it poses as fiction but maybe in Part V it will be like "actually, this is all real ..." we shall see. I partly believe in all of the FEMA camps, NAU, Amero etc but I just think that this BlackJack is just some creative kid with time on his/her hands.

So someone made an online comic about popular conspiracy theories.
What's so special about that?

Disgraced newspaper tycoon Conrad Black will go to prison on Monday after losing an attempt to remain free while appealing against his conviction.
The shamed press baron must report to Coleman federal facility in Florida to begin a six-and-a half-year sentence for fraud and obstructing justice.

they enjoy making these types of slide shows
I have seen them around
Personally, China, Iran, and Syria would not Nuc us because we would simply destroy them before we all die.

I've never heard of "BlackJack" before seeing this thread so I went and clicked through each slide show. I find it interesting, but that's it. Looks like a good plot for the next season of 24.
I do understand why some people would look at this series as a sign of things to come, because our world is not heading in a good direction. Will be intersting to see the next installment.
