Everyone has heard, and has probably used the term " conspiracy

theorist, " and the fact of the term being in common use, also

indicates that we generally agree on what it means. I saw a movie by

that name, and the title character was a raving lunatic who kept his

food in thermoses with combination locks to reduce his chances of

being poisoned by imaginary enemies.

 

 

 

Regardless of how the stupid movie turned out, what's important here

is the common perception people have of someone to whom that label is

applied, and just as important, is who it is that applies the label.

The common perception is that someone who is labeled a " conspiracy

theorist " is suffering from some type of psychological disorder, and

that label is usually applied to people by our government, and our

news media. The next thing to consider, is that the label is applied

to anyone who questions our government's version of events in any

matter. Doesn't it logically follow that the media are teaching us to

assume that anyone who questions the government is insane? When that

label is applied to a person, doesn't it become easy to dismiss

everything they say without even hearing it? How convenient for them.

 

 

 

I think the label first became widely used to slander people who

questioned the details surrounding the JFK assassination, and forty

years later, there aren't too many thinking people who still believe

the Warren Commission's " lone gunman " explanation. That explanation is

doubted by everyone who has taken the time to look into the details,

and believed only by people who refuse to.

 

 

 

Which is " theory " and which is fact? In the absence of a full

confession, this can only be decided by a preponderance of evidence,

and it would be silly to come to a conclusion on any matter without

looking at all the evi dence available. This is only common sense,

just as it is safe to assume some degree of guilt or complicity on the

part of anyone who lies about an event, or tries to hide, plant, or

destroy any type of evidence.

 

 

 

Conspiracy theories arise from evidence. After the government releases

an explanation of a particular event, a conspiracy theory is only born

because evidence exists to disprove their explanation, or at least

call it into question. There's nothing insane about it, unless you

define sanity as believing whatever the government tells you. In light

of the fact that our government lies to us regularly, I would define

believing everything they tell you as utter stupidity.

 

 

 

In July of 1996, flight 800 exploded over Long Island. Shortly after

their terrorist explanation failed scrutiny, our government then

explained the event by claiming that a faulty electrical system caused

a spark that ign ited a fuel tank, and the people who doubted this

explanation were quickly labeled " conspiracy theorists. " More than a

hundred witnesses saw a missile travel from the ground up to the plane

just prior to its explosion, bu t rather than being treated as

eyewitnesses to an event, they were labeled " conspiracy theorists, "

which label allowed all subsequent investigation to ignore the

strongest evidence in the matter.

 

 

 

Our " investigative " news agencies decided to accept and disseminate

the official story, and they helped us forget the U.S. naval station

nearby, the fact that missiles were regularly test fired there, and

naturally, they paid no heed to more than a hundred " conspiracy

theorists " who saw the plane get blown out of the sky by a missile. I

believe that the U.S. Navy accidentally shot down flight 800, and

that's my belief because it's the mos t sensible explanation that can

be drawn from the available evidence. I'm not theorizing about

conspiracies, but there are conflicting explanations of the event, and

if the Navy did accidentally blow a passenger plane out of the sky,

who would have a motive to lie about it? The U.S. government, or a

hundred witnesses?

 

 

 

Then of course, there were the " crazy conspiracy theories " arising

from the bombing of the Alfred Murrah federal building in Oklahoma

City. In that matter, audio tapes and witnesses agree that there were

two explosions, t he first of which occurred inside the building

between eight and ten seconds before the truck bomb exploded.

Explosive experts agree that Timothy McVeigh's fertilizer bomb could

not have destroyed the building, and the FB I's counter terrorism

chief, and members of BATF lied about their whereabouts during and

prior to the catastrophe. The evening news decided not to tell you any

of this, and they will label anyone who tries to a " paranoid

conspiracy theorist. " In light of the evidence, we would be complete

fools if a conspiracy theory didn't exist.

 

 

 

There were no conspiracy theories arising from the explosion of flight

103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and there were no conspiracy theories

arising from the work of the uni-bomber, so the newly invented

psycho-babble that tries to explain the malady of conspiracy

theorists, also needs to explain why millions of conspiracy theorists

all decided not to theorize about those events. There is no

psychological malady. There was simply no evidenc e to indicate a

conspiracy.

 

 

 

The real question is not why people theorize about conspiracies, but

why people choose to believe the government's version of events when

it's obvious that they're lying. One reason is that most people never

see the evide nce because our " news " industry hides it, and another

reason is that the same news industry will quickly associate anyone

who questions the government with the people who see Elvis, Bigfoot,

and UFO's.

 

 

 

But sadly, I think the main reason people choose to believe the

government's version of events despite overwhelming evidence to the

contrary, is because it's easier, and safer. If you ignore most of the

evidence, and acce pt as plausible whatever ridiculous explanation the

T.V. provides, your life remains simple, and you get to sit on your

ass and watch more T.V. If on the other hand, you pluck your head from

that same ass and realize you' ve been lied to, as a citizen in a

democratic society, you're instantly burdened with being responsible

for doing something about it. Every citizen of the United States has a

civic duty to participate in their government, and keep themselves

informed of its actions, or government " of the people, by the people,

and for the people " isn't possible. You were warned that " eternal

vigilance is the price of freedom, " but you chose to ignore you r

government, and believe whatever they told you, and because of this,

Americans have lost their freedom. Although presidents and senators

are public servants, unlike the dog catcher and mailman, they wield a

lot of power over people's lives, and that's why they have to be

watched, and scrutinized.

 

 

 

Statistical analysts from UCLA and Rutgers University believe that

John Kerry won the 2004 presidential election by an estimated 1.3

million votes, and despite the fact that these learned scholars are

probably the most qu alified people alive to forward such an opinion,

our news madia dismisses this as " conspiracy theory. " George W. Bush

lost the 2000 election, and he lost the 2004 election, but he's

occupying the White House, shredding ou r constitution, and stealing

our wealth and freedom in a " war on terror " that's as fraudulent as

his presidency because many Americans are too stupid to see it, too

lazy to do anything about it, or both.

 

 

 

I'm sorry if I sound angry, but the fact of the matter is that I am

angry. While you were staring into the television like an idiot, our

freedom, wealth, and constitutional protections have been stolen from

us, and becaus e you're stupid enough to believe the manure being

shoveled by our government, you've allowed them to commit bigger and

more heinous crimes. Because you were too lazy to research their

nonsensical economic policies, and s ee them for the scams that they

are, we'll all soon be living in poverty. And because you're so lazy,

apathetic, and easily lied to, millions have died for the profits of a

few. I have every right to be angry, and only a fool wouldn't be.
