Conspiracies – Conspiracies – Conspiracies

If you can think of a conspiracy, you can probably google it and find a horde of people who are already on the train. You will even find a few who will add their PHD even if it is in Drama from Peeville University or some other unrelated field. You will find a host of blogs by “concerned citizens” who have about as much real knowledge of the subject as they have of “dancing bees”.

I find it extremely odd that otherwise intelligent people will jump on a pet conspiracy theory. I expect it from the wingnuts of both the right and left but not from people who normally have a reasonable outlook on things going on around them.

Many times in the past we did things that were harmful to ourselves and our environment and people made a lot of money from it. When years of research determined just how harmful it was, we stopped. It will always be that way.

My favorite conspiracies are the Elders of Zion, the New Word Order, the Illuminati, UFOs, JFK being alive in some underground medical facility and we must not forget Tupac.

    Isn’t it exasperating to be older and wiser? Unless you consider the alternative…

    You don’t believe in Unidentified Flying Objects? There were a lot of them during the Clinton Administration seen right inside the White House. Hillary was throwing and Bill was ducking.lol Hmmm…it seems to me like those Illegal Aliens from Outer Space have a very strong affection for Rednecks & Hillbillies. (I know…cuz I iz both!) It seems like whenever you see somebody being interviewed about being abducted by a UFO…they are usually always a Hillbilly or a Redneck. Maybe those Aliens just have a thing for violating country folk.lol

    I agree with much of what you wrote here. And don’t forget about Elvis. I’ve heard Elvis and JFK live in a Condo in Florida with marilyn Monroe. Now that….is a conspiracy.lol

    Yeah but conspiracies are bloggable subjects that provide for titillating entertainment as each new commenter introduces yet another angle or new conspiracy.

    Here’s one fresh off the rumor mill:
    I heard that you were actually Willy Nelson whom Kevin has paid exclusively to build the FriendBurst blog nation into the New World Order metropolis to bring down both MySpace and Facecrak :mrgreen:

    Just kidding! :mrgreen:

    In all candor, Mr. Sawyer—conspiracy theories usually have a foundation of truth that in the absence of facts…tend to get juicier and more shiver inducing as it is retold, conspiracy theorist by conspiracy theorist…and I am entertained by the outlandishness! :love:

    Good blog my good sir!

    During times, I’ve learned not to underestimate some things or people.

    I listened them all and read it between the lines.

    In the past there have been real Conspiracies, so I am sure they exist now.

    I wonder if the preponderance of conspiracies aren’t a conspiracy in itself to reduce the validity of Conspiracies.

    I remember when The CIA testing LSD on unknowing US Army servicemen was considered a whack job conspiracy. I remember when the CIA involvement in the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Chile was considered a whack job Conspiracy.
    And all those whack job conspiracy theories about the Castor assassination attempts, exploding Cigars, … etc.

    Makes me wonder what a well crafted Disinformation campaign would be meant to hide or discredit. Just another Whack Job conspiracy theory.

    I wonder how Clearchannel and Foxnews deliver the same message and often word for word. Aren’t these companies separate?

  • marthamagenta says:

    I think the conspiracies of the New World Order and Illuminati are red herrings to distract us from the real government conspiracies of Left & Right, healthcare or not healthcare. How’s this for conspiracy that we are all a part of:
