CONSPIRACY THEORY CONSPIRACY

THIS IS A RE-POSTING ON AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE I READ TODAY.  It discusses how the CIA started a campaign to ridicule the idea of "Conspiracy Theories" in 1967, as a method to cover-up their secret, criminal activities to gain power, possession and control of our minds, our lives, and our planet.  It contains links for documented details and evidence.

It is a little-known though well-documented fact that the origin of the campaign to ridicule research into conspiracies was initiated by the CIA in 1967 to undermine the credibility of those who questioned the official claims of the Warren Commission regarding the so-called facts of the Kennedy assassination.

Given the challenge we and others feel when speaking out about conspiracies, I think Lance deHaven-Smith is right when, in his new book Conspiracy Theory, he suggests “the CIA’s [covert and illegal] campaign to popularize the term ‘conspiracy theory’ and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited…with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time…”

Of course not all proclaimed conspiracies are true. There are competent conspiracy analysts and incompetent ones, just as there are skilled and shoddy reporters, historians or practitioners of any discipline.

What Does “Conspiracy” Actually Mean?

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines “conspire” as: “to plot, to contrive, to scheme — to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act.”

It is well documented that many conspiracy theories are true. (See resources below.) Just a few days ago, the CIA admitted to what conspiracy analysts have been saying for 40 years: that the agency helped organize the coup that deposed Mohammad Mosaddegh and imposed the Shah in 1953 to get access to Iranian oil.

Nonetheless, I have seen many otherwise intelligent people close their minds to credible information as soon as the term “conspiracy” is evoked — even though America itself was founded on what would now be called a “conspiracy theory.” After all, the American Revolution was fought on the basis of the alleged “conspiracy” of King George of England to control and unfairly tax the new world.

Conspiracy theories are such a threat to the status quo that infiltration, censorship and bans have even been proposed. In 2008, Cass Sunstein, the former Administrator of the Obama Whitehouse Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs and former Professor at the University of Chicago, wrote a paper on “Conspiracy Theories”. His prescription for dealing with ‘conspiracy theorists’? … “cognitive infiltration of “extremist” groups, and, if it gets bad enough, possible censorship of free speech. He actually suggests that the US Government use such tactics as:

Ban conspiracy theorizing.
Impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.

This is especially interesting given that even Sunstein admitted that some “conspiracy theories” are actually true — including Operation Northwoods, a plan by the Department of Defense (DoD) to simulate acts of terrorism and to blame them on Cuba to falsely justify invasion. That one, fortunately, President Kennedy discovered and shut down.

The “Noble Lie”

One of the ways conspiracies are philosophically justified by those who perpetrate them is through the notion of the “noble lie”. This term was coined by Leo Strauss, who was the philosophical grandfather of the Neo-conservative movement and who advocated state political propaganda and covert actions to protect a society’s traditional beliefs from “unrestrained inquiries” — or in other words — “conspiratorial theorizing.” He believed that scientific criticism of official accounts of important historical events, even when those criticisms were true, “undermined respect for the nation’s laws and traditional beliefs.” “Weapons of Mass Destruction” and “regime change” are examples of “noble lies” — untruths put forth to achieve an end goal that could not be achieved without manufactured evidence to sway public opinion.

Remember, it was the neo-conservative PNAC — the Project for a New American Century — that called for “a new Pearl Harbor” to justify invading the middle east — a noble lie used to dismantle the US Constitution (Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act, NDAA etc). This ended up being the major turning point in leading the US and the world toward police state tyranny, under the overarching “noble lie” of defending against “terrorism.”

Today, critical thinking and overcoming the stigma of “conspiracy theory” can help us keep from getting duped into being poisoned by schemes like GMOs to solve hunger, chemtrails to solve global warming, toxic vaccines to prevent disease, fluoride to prevent tooth decay, and radiating smart meters to lower our electric bills — to name just a few.

“Conspiracy” Used for Debunking

The main website erected to undermine the Thrive movement — Thrive Debunked — based its entire premise on the notion that there is “No such thing as Conspiracy.” John Robbins was in THRIVE exposing the conspiracy undermining the food sector. Deepak Chopra revealed the hidden agenda of pharmaceuticals in the health arena. Paul Hawken described how corporations are covertly destroying the environment and John Perkins, the “economic hitman,” told how he had been part of the secret conspiracy destroying the culture and stealing the resources of one country after another around the world. Then THRIVE put these and many other expert pieces together to show how the same elite bankers are manipulating virtually every sector for their own profit and control. Each of these “pioneers” then turned around and dissociated from THRIVE, claiming they didn’t want to be associated with a “conspiracy” movie.

Intelligence takes many forms: intellect, knowledge, cleverness, wit and intuition for example. But perhaps what is most called for in this era of massive deceit is open-mindedness — coupled with common sense and rigorous discernment. Critical thinking, evidence, fact checking, logic, research, and the ability to say “MAYBE, I don’t know” while we consider new information is imperative. Without it, we can fall prey to truly sinister and dangerous effects.

So, if you haven’t already, I invite you to step out of the “hassle-free” zone as if our future depends on it — because it does. Here are some key steps:

Encourage open honest dialogue about conspiracy theories.
Learn the facts.

Some conspiracies that have been proven include:

The Reagan administration was convicted of “conspiracy” in the Iran Contra affair.
When the AMA tried to shut down Chiropractors, they were found guilty of “conspiracy.”
Tobacco companies were found guilty of “conspiracy” to withhold critical health information from the public.

You can also learn more about one of the biggest conspiracies of all in the “Global Domination Agenda” section of our website.
Don’t buy into unsubstantiated attacks. Critics of conspiracy theory often resort to adjectives and ad hominem attacks, instead of facts. This lures people away from the evidence presented, and puts the focus on the peoples’ personalities and associations, which reinforces negative stereotypes of conspiracy theorists. Avoid personality attacks and stick to the facts. Apparently, according to a recent study, more commentators on the Internet are intelligently addressing conspiracy analysis and fact than are disputing it.

Here are a couple of video clips that show the desperation of conspirators to demean conspiracy analysts:

Bill Clinton Responds to 9/11 Questioning
George W. Bush on Conspiracy Theories
George Bush Senior at Ford Funeral on Warren Commission


Approach conspiracy topics gently and thoughtfully. My wife, Kimberly, and I have had a lot of practice with this. Your delivery and approach to discussing new ideas makes a big difference. Here’s a video guide on how to have difficult conversations with friends without losing friendships:

If we allow ourselves to have our critical thinking stopped by the threat of being associated with “conspiracy,” I believe we make ourselves easy to dupe, manipulate, divide and conquer. We lose the power we can have when instead we share our insights and transparently and respectfully explore our different perspectives to encourage bold, honest inquiry into what is going on and what we can do to create a world where everyone has the chance to thrive.

FOR THE CHILD

"When we're young we run  and play "let's pretend" to be  anything and everything - just for fun.  Our imagination is the key.   As we grow up we are told  by others who are very serious  That reality is time and space and gold;  that games and visions are delirious.   Life goes on and we agree  what other people think is best:  to play our part in reality   just like them and all the rest.  Every game has a start,  a middle and conclusion.  When the time comes to depart  just make a new illusion!  You are Spirit ! Life Eternal !  You'll make a future and new friends !  Through your dreams you are immortal;  like children playing "let's pretend"."

SENTIENT BEINGS

"Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings.  This includes human beings.  For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up word: "IS-BE".  Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of "is", and the only reason for their  existence is that they decide to "be".

No matter how lowly their station in a society, every IS-BE deserves the respect and treatment that I myself would like to receive from others.  Each person on Earth continues to be an IS-BE whether they are aware of the fact or not."

-- Airl.  Officer, Pilot and Engineer of the Roswell UFO, from the book ALIEN INTERVIEW

THE LOGIC OF HOMO SAPIENS

Do you ever wonder about the "logic" of homo sapiens?  Do we really understand what motivates the "thinking" of the "average" human life form creeping around on the Earth killing and eating everything they can catch or shoot?  Did you know that during the entire history of human beings on planet Earth there have been only 12 DAYS during which a war was NOT being fought somewhere on the planet!  (this is probably due to incompetent record keeping, or illiteracy, or both).

Did you know that more than 2/3rds of the taxes collected from American residents ---  just like you and me --- is spent to fund MILITARY activities?  Most of this money is spent by "contractors" who build weapons and other gadgets that are used for murder, mayhem, pain, destruction, mutilation and to create social, economic and environmental chaos.  But, what is the REAL "logic" for this perpetual slaughter?  

The FACT is that every single war in human history (without ANY exceptions) was FUNDED BY PRIVATE BANKERS FOR PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN.  Do your TAXES pay for waging war? NO.  It is "money" that is created by and loaned by private banks at interest to BOTH combatants.  When all the dead bodies have been cleared from the fields, the "spoils" or "profits" are collected by the Private Bankers.  Don't take my word for it, folks.  Do your own research.  The Private Bankers are PARASITES that are fed on the blood and flesh of the dead human bodies that litter the perpetual war zone called EARTH.

Do you have a "healthy" lust and zeal for killing your fellow human beings, and other creatures?  Why not take some of the guns from you personal arsenal and go hunting for private bankers?  This will solve TWO problems at once: 1) satisfy your "normal" human desire to kill something, and 2) rid the Earth of parasites!

What could be more "logical" ?

AFTER NIETZSCHE

PREDATORS AND PARASITES

Symbiosis (from Ancient Greek σύν "together" and βίωσις "living") is close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species.

Some of the most common and frequent symbiotic relationships examples are prey-predator and parasitism.

Parasitism is yet anther example of symbiotic relationship. The concept is fairly simple and it can be seen throughout nature. Mosquitoes for example, represent one form of parasitism. Other kinds can be seen in animals who have fleas and ticks.

Symbiosis can be a vital process for some species. A great example is Prey-Predator in which only one species can win the other being killed and annihilated.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that International BANKERS are anything more or less than Predators and Parasites.  These "creatures" are NOT the same species of animal as human beings. When a BANKER looks at you, he sees FOOD.  You are very carefully fed with "CREDIT" lies, false aspirations and false values to entice you into becoming a victim of the false economic institutions that literally CREDIT MONEY FROM NOTHING, and convince that it has "real value".  Factually, what we call "money" is created from thin air by PARASITES AND PREDATORS who produce NOTHING of value and STEAL all of your possessions, your work and your future from you.

The common-sense approach to preventing yourself from becoming "food" in the mouths of bankers is to AVOID them, or EXTERMINATE them!
