Why NOT Believing In Conspiracies Is A Sure Sign Of Mental Retardation
Posted by UncommonSense 10 years, 11 months ago to Culture
This article is loaded with provable examples of actual conspiracies. I love the following sentences in the article:
"The idea, then, that there is no such thing as a conspiracy is flatly ludicrous. And people who condemn others as being “conspiracy theorists” only make themselves look mentally impaired.
To live in our modern world which is full of collusion and conspiracy — and yet somehow DENY the existence of any conspiracies at all — is an admission of a damaged brain."

Agree or disagree, persons of good heart can always smile and move on!
And if I have to disclaim this as sarcasm, then you don't deserve my humor.
I propose that persons in power have much less power than the average conspiracy theorist believes.
This post concerns me greatly as it seems to be cruising through largely unopposed.
Y'know, after the FOX special on the Apollo "conspiracy" I printed out a whole binder of websites de-bunking the show. Point by point, right down the line, couldn't be clearer. Left it in the break room at work. - Not a single "believer" changed their mind. Not a single one.
And if "they" have so much power - if "they" can do damn near anything "they" want to us - how was it we never found WMD's in Iraq? That should have been an easy one.
Of course neither point will convince anyone.
I don't debate persons who find conspiracy everywhere - their logic is non-falsifiable.
For me, it is much easier to believe a lone gunman killed Kennedy than a team of of Secret Service agents was turned.
It is much easier to believe an Islamic terrorist attacked America than a conservative Texan.
It is much easier to believe that scientists could, in-fact, send a man to the moon than the USSR helped fool the world that we won the Race to the Moon.
Occam's Razor is not only famous - it's important.
And stop "outing" me; most people don't know I'm an Alien Anthropologist...
Excellent article. Of course there are conspiracies and collusion. Otherwise why would we have laws against it?
"Nothing to see here. Move along."

How many moves ahead can you think of. What actions must occur before a strategic milestone is met where you launch another phase of a plan?
With the vast majority of people being, to be quite honest..."Stupid" if you know anything about human nature you can manipulate public opinion to cause actions that allow long range policies to take place.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened."
When you plan over time, you slowly move people into who unknowingly submit to the changes they would normally be completely against.
There are those in power, those who have been in office 30, 40 even 50 years, who use Government and long range strategic thinking to move this country straight toward Socialism and Communism so they can gain 100% control. This is done covertly. slowly.
You cannot simply take Americans guns. But if you can gin up enough anger over a few incidents you can get people to start saying "We have to do something..." So the "leaders" create regulations and laws, and everyone is happy. Next time something happens, just like Obama said, never let a crisis go to waste. more laws and regulations, and before you know it BLAMMO!!! 100% gun control.
Gun control is not about freedom, but about control. Gun control, Healthcare Laws, all these high sounding ideals, are about nothing but control. Read 1984. Watch the movie Captain America "Winter Warrior". Thos who claim no conspiracies are people who like to remain ignorant of reality and how those who have patience actually work.
Americans have the attention span of a ferret on CRACK. Because this majority are so ignorant, they cannot see past the end of their nose. They do not see how in 1970, the housing bubble was started, how in the mid 1990's the housing bubble was accelerated all under the auspice of "fairness." No longer did people have to save 20% down, now they can get no-money down loans with no income verification, hence the sub-prime market was born. Bubble bursts, people cry "Something must be done.." Government acts and we have more government control. Rich get richer poor get poorer. What should have happened was to let the businesses who participated go bankrupt. Let the system reset. But that is not in line with Government gaining more control. The housing bubble was started by liberals in the 1970's during Carter, and expanded several times. It has taken 44 years for the government to gain this kind of control.
Healthcare is the same. Another 4 or 5 years when people are screaming for "Something to be done" government will regulate more, pass more laws, all of which are meant to give more control to government and less freedom to the people.
Conspiracies exits. They are all around us. You just have to open your eyes and look. Learn Chess, learn how to think 5 to 10 moves ahead..THEN you will see clearly what is being done TO you and me.
There are very few in the mainstream media whom I trust, exceptions being John Stossel and Judge Napolitano.
Remember "Reading is fundamental"? My Mother belonged to a book of the month club. She couldn't wait for her new book at the beginning of each month and often purchased supplementary material. I try and read a minimum of two books a month. Many of today's pablum filled heads of mush seem unable to find time to read more than facebook, or twitter... what a waste.

"It was business, not labor, that initiated the policy of government intervention in the economy (as long ago as the nineteenth century)—and business was the first victim. Labor adopted the same policy and will meet the same fate. He who lives by a legalized sword, will perish by a legalized sword."
