Okay here goes. I have many times admitted my contempt for conspiracy theories. I am the first one to send those propagating any theory to Snopes.com so that they may discover the error of their ways. My contempt for these theories stems from the fact that they, more often than not, support an already held crackpot view of the circulator of the theory.
Mainly my mistrust of these theories is that, inevitably, they involve powerful forces that are attempting to take over the world by nefarious means. These forces could be anything from the US Government (supposedly responsible for the taking down of the twin towers), to World Jewry (in the process of taking over the world one dollar at a time), to the US Government (hey there is a pattern emerging here weren't they also responsible for taking out JFK?) to The Russians (responsible for taking out JFK. What? Well which one was it? Hey could it be that the Americans and the Ruskies were working together on this?), To the US Government (not them again, but didn't they cover up the alien invasion at Roswell?).
Can you see the problem? Well if these forces are so powerful, and there are few forces more powerful than the US Government, then surely dealing with some puny conspiracy theorist should be a piece of cake condemning the theory, and possibly the theorist as well, to an ignominious death. So why do these powerful forces allow these theories to take on a life of their own? Well, I have theory. There! I said it! Against my better judgement I am admitting to having a conspiracy theory of my own.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many conspiracy theories circulating out there? There are hundreds of web sites selling a myriad of theories. This gives rise an equal myriad of web sites debunking the theories. The effect of all of this? Well, we spend our time gathering information both supporting and pooh poohing the theory trying to figure out where the truth really lies and getting absolutely nowhere in the process.
Can you see the positives for the powerful forces in making us run from pillar to post? Yes! You got it in one! You got it in one if you said that all of this is happening in order to divert our attention from the real conspiracy. If you didn't get it in one and have condemned me to the camp of conspiracy theory crackpots I feel certain that you will soon change your mind.
You will change your mind when you discover the reason for the powerful forces going to so much trouble to divert our attention. You will change your mind when you discover just how powerful those forces are. You will be amazed at the secret they are trying to keep us from talking about. You will also be terrified when provided with this knowledge.
I know the secret and I am terrified. Do you really want to know as well? Then send $500 in an unmarked envelope to.... Ha ha just kidding. No, no money required. Watch this spot, if you are brave enough, and all will be revealed...
'Til next post...
