I know its fun and hip to make fun of conspiracy theories. And some like chemtrails, jade helm, and fake moon landings get silly.
But the fact is that the world has been, and is being shaped by conspiracies against our interests. And all one needs to do is look at a 100 things the government and the bankers have done that was completely hidden from us.
Does anyone believe that its a coincidence that a pothead C and D student from a communist family was passed upwards until he became a nothing Senator and then president? That’s screams conspiracy.
And JFK is so full of lies, misinformation, and coverups, that a conspiracy is obvious.
Obie isn’t a conspiracy, Obie is a cult of personality. In the modern world where TV debates are the primary communication from candidates we’ve had mostly unqualified dingbats in the Oval Office because they can sell a message. And it’s going to happen again next year. Our current system rewards the dancing bear.
I’m sure this “scientist” would think Bonhoefer crazy for considering Adolf Hitler conspiratorial. One or the other side was delusional: the people before the liberation of Poland who thought the Holocaust was happening, or the people after the liberation of Poland who thought the footage of emaciated prisoners was manufactured. Which group was delusional? Did the mass killing of Jews, handicapped, and enemies of the regime really happen while everybody thought things were fine, or did somebody manufacture all that footage? Both theories are a conspiracy. There isn’t an option that no conspiracy happened. Those who try to say there was no conspiracy are the delusional ones. And that has happened every time there really was a conspiracy - and as you say, that has happened often.
If it’s true that nobody’s reasoning is trustworthy, then this guy is just as crazy as the people he says are crazy, and none of us can have any degree of confidence in ANYTHING. So why say that there is a truth? The people who say there are NOT conspiracies when the evidence says otherwise are just as delusional as those who say there are conspiracies in the absence of evidence.
What is supposed to matter is the EVIDENCE, and blowing off a theory because you’re unwilling to look at EVIDENCE makes a person the crazy one. Right now that basic premise has been lost; people run around thinking they are sensible because they think like most people, not because the evidence supports anything they believe. It’s crazy.
Did the IRS target conservatives and then (initially) hide the evidence, lie about it, obstruct justice, shred evidence, etc? Did the Obama regime make up a lie about what happened at Benghazi? Did what belonged to secured GM investors end up in the hands of the unions? Did the Obama regime give money and support to both the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS while withholding support from the Iranians who resisted sharia? Etc.
Refusing to look at evidence is a choice to place your confidence in group-think rather than evidence, and given the stupidity of the majority of America’s masses and the deceptions and outright lies of the media the majority listen to, THAT is the stupidest idea around.
