People can only see and know what they are capable of. Yeah in the same school of thought that 13 is an unlucky number. Oh is it? Or is it the number of times the moon goes around the Earth in the year and the boogie man who does all the GMO, Global Warming, Creating Money, and Generally Seriously Fucking up would love us to feed into the shite that 13 is unlucky.

Que sera maing.

Huge difference between superstition and conspiracy theory.

Have you read "The Last Symbol" by Dan Brown yet? I find it interesting, exploring the mythos of the pattern used to build the buildings of Washington DC. I think it even 'talk' about the lost cornerstone of the White House. My mind tends to wander and I will misplace what I read and watch on TV.

When posters who use this forum and others come up with some information in a posting that others decry as a conspiracy theory, I just got to ask, what exactly is wrong with a conspiracy theory ?

A conspiracy theory is another version of events, just not one accepted by the majority, what does this say, could it even be the majority are blind to other possibilities other than the standard accepted version, if so, I have to ask whose standard accepted version, government, so called experts or media ? Because a singular or minority have a different view on events, does it mean they are wrong or is this majority vote itself flawed ?

Is it wrong to be able to think beyond what we are told, or do we have to accept what we are told as the only truth ?

If they were provable, they wouldn't be conspiracy theories.

There are tons of provable conspiracies, that very few accept as true. We tend to get all in a huff over the dumb ones like JFK, Nasa, etc... The ones that really have zero effect on reality.

Here's some conspiracies.

Why do we have a system by which money must funnel down from the government to the banks, then to the wealthiest, then on down to the poorest. The poorer you are the more you suffer the effects of inflation, yet the system by which we initiate the money flow goes to the wealthy-->less wealthy---> poorer---> poorest.  Once you are in the poorest category, it no longer applies so much, since you living off the state at that point, and beholden to the system as such.


The conspiracy is we have designed a system of haves and have nots, not via taxation, but rather by the design of money flows. A much much better wealth trap than poverty via taxation.

Another conspiracy....

We have people actually going hungry in the US, a large percentage of them children, it would take a small fraction of what we pay for the military to completely eliminate this problem.

I deal in the secondary market alot, and I've seen with my own eyes vast amounts of food headed for the trash bins, new not expired, food, while people are hungry.

What's the conspiracy, the US government does not really care about starving children instead is much much much more concerned with killing foreigners, or building bases to threaten foreigners.



Taxation on the individual level is completely ridiculous, and really only serves to enrich accountants and help the government spy on your finances.

Why? Well, it would be cheaper to simply charge a flat tax at retail, and give everyone a monthly rebate check, on the amount of taxes that would have been paid on purchases to the poverty line. They do not need your information, other than who are you and where to send the check. The IRS in its present form is more akin to a domestic spy agency, as the only benefit to the government that could not be had via a retail tax is that of forcing you to submit private information by threat of jail time.

Plenty of conspiracies, that are IMO, factual. Do, I care if aliens exist, if JFK was assassinated by the CIA, or did we land on the moon, sure I care a bit, but I care a lot more about the conspiracies that are happening right now, and everyone just accepts as normal.

The above shows a complete misunderstanding of what money is.
