And the dumbest people of all are those who rabidly cling to the idea that conspiracies don’t happen. History is replete with the conspiracies of those who have usurped power often by murder or other means. Believing that intelligent but evil people who know few moral bounds won’t do whatever it takes to become powerful is just plain ridiculous. It allows those who believe such naivety to become blind sitting ducks. I often wonder if those who are so dead set against considering or investigating possible conspiracy are those who are really dumbing down the masses so as to help take them over. They mock anyone who will honestly investigate suspicious situation marginalizing them. Pretty soon none will dare speak up or risk being considered totally mindless and gullible. It is the people who refuse to consider any kind of conspiracy that are the ones who are easily taken.
I don’t prescribe to all conspiracy beliefs. I know that some will see conspiracies behind every rock. That doesn’t mean that an intelligent search for facts shouldn’t take place by those who care about truth and recognize the fact that there are factions, in fact very large factions of people who work diabolically towards their goals of taking over the population by whatever means they possibly can think of, good or evil. They can prosper when people are blind to them and refuse to recognize their existence. In the fertile ground of denial their ranks grow and they take great pleasure in our stupidity.

Which ones? That included hundreds and probably thousands of conspirators? Which ones. Last century or anytime since the natives stopped being fearful of the solar eclipses.
