Lets recap:

The stated goal is a lower birth rate.  

/snip

This circular post structure is getting annoying.   See the past 21 pages for details.



Which neither the water supply nor fluoride, or even BPA is affecting.


Incorrect.

I disagree.

BPA affects pregnant women and infants, not adults.

Fluoride is required in concentrations far larger than most.. normal.. adults or children take in.

And the water supply... you and I have had discussions about that before.

Articles > 33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What ... Jun 19, 2011 – What follows are some of these most shocking modern conspiracy theories that turned out true after thorough investigation by our society. ...

Funny, that link mixes some well proven conspiracies with nutty stuff like the NWO and the Illuminati that er... "Turned Out To Be True"!!! Yeah right. Bizarrely the article mentions the Dreyfuss Affair at number one albeit briefly! That's comical considering the sort in France who condemned Dreyfuss are not dissimilar to many conspiricists today. They were driven by extreme zenophobia and bought up the idea that Jews had undue influence in the French State, were corrupt, disloyal, involved with the Freemasons in a plot to destroy the French Army etc. http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/Dreyfus.html - Dreyfuss was stripped of his rank in a now legendary display in public while a big crowd was baying for his blood.

Well, history is basically an avalanche of constant multitudes of overlapping conspiracies, the United States was born of a conspiracy - all a conspiracy is is a group of people who together, pursue and agenda that has not been formally announced.

I believe #41 formally announced the existence of the NWO

So listen to that, and interpret it how you may - I noticed the qualification, "credible" w/respect to the UN - you might want to look at #41's history with the UN to get an idea what he may or may not consider credibility.

Additionally, "rule of law" is often misinterpreted by the right, to mean rule by fiat by controlling the legal apparatus, rather than the law applying equally to everyone, and I've heard that misinterpretation repeated and encouraged on talk radio - re-framing, that's called, when it's not called "lying".

That happens to dovetail with the right wing efforts to control the judiciary to push a corporatist agenda and kill the regulatory state, see Cursor's Media Transparency - oops! It's gone, defunded, there is still an archive, but the original articles are no longer archived - too bad, it was an excellent source, where you could not only get the stories, but follow the money.

That's the whole thing about conspiracies, they don't just come out and say "we value our profits more than we value your life or your freedom", it would be very bad press.

By the same token, Christian reconstructionists don't take out full page ad's to announce they want to eliminate the constitution and replace it with a theocracy, people might find that disturbing, but that is their agenda, if you care to look.

Here, try this page, there are at least a couple of articles.

The other thing is, there's more than one conspiracy going on: the NWO is, I think more of a European thing, Kissinger, the Bilderburgers, and that crowd, the Bush's connection seems to be through BP - the Christian Reconstuctionism/Dominionism are a separate group, as are the neocons, and there are alliances and power struggles between them, i.e., politics as usual - they have similar goals, a feudal type social-economy, but there are corporatist and religious agendas, regional and familial ties, etc., and the eternal question in such alliances is always about who gets what.

Oh for sure.  And right now behind the scenes there is a fight going on as to who gets more.

I'm not saying there are no conspiracies. There have been numerous serious conspiracies throughout history. However, they have to be treated with very rigorous scepticism especially when people with a distinct agenda are pushing them relentlessly, and seemingly creating them out of little more than hearsay a la Jews poisoning wells with the plague.

We should understand the context of Bush's speech at the time. He was clearly referring to the UN being weak and ineffective, and it requires a fair bit of theorising and speculation to understand his words differently. At the time there was a lot of disappointment around the world at the UN's ineffectiveness in stopping mass genocide and starvation in Africa for example. This is what he meant by moving from the law of the jungle to a more civilised condition.

Whenever there is mass starvation in Africa, various people are happily celebrating that and slowing down relief efforts as much as possible.

Whenever there is a genocide in Africa, it probably was planned somewhere in Europe or in the USA.

Yeah I guess Whitey was behind the mass butchery by Bashir in Darfur lol.

I don't know of any examples of mass celebration over starvation in others. I can conceive that maybe it happened on occasion when peoples were directly at war but little else.

Maybe, but then he was in charge of birth control and family planning for the UN in Africa in the Seventies, and that program has been likened to a de facto eugenics program, a charge to which the presence of General Draper lends credence.

Half the conspiracy theories are probably one conspiracy trying to discredit another one: the profit motive, multinational conspiracy/s that want de-regulation are going to call global warming a conspiracy, the pro-Arab conspiracy is going to be pushing Zionist conspiracy theories, the Zionist conspiracy is going to be issuing alarms about that, etc., etc., and so on.

So, if anything, the sheer number of conspiracy theories is itself evidence of conspiracy if you ask me, and of course, none of them is going to want to be called a conspiracy themselves.

I call it conspiracy when legislation is passed without transparency - the whole takings debacle was a good example, the WTO wasn't it who tried to get unilateral legislation ratified that firms doing business in foreign companies could sue for lost profits if their operations were regulated ex post facto of the establishment of the operation? They had a secret tibunal and everything.

Originally, it appears to have been an attempt to protect American business's doing business in Mexico, specifically, toxic waste storage, and the whole thing was to prevent the Mexican government from coming in and regulating it, and costing them money, takings.

The big flaw in that argument however, is that money isn't the only thing that can be "taken" health is a "possession" too, clean air, food and water, while less tangible than stock returns, are quantifiable things, and the whole business dropped out after the WTO riots in Seattle - but on the face of it, a takings legislation could well be a excellent means of regulating all business's based on what things they "take" when operating a business that threatens public health and safety - thus, secret tribunals.

It would be a lot messier that way however, better for all involved to regulate before the damage is done - consumers are as much a part of the market as producers, and regulation is a market dynamic.

Or, it's a conspiracy of cheese eating elitists, granola liberals, collectivist parasites, commie pinko fags, etc., take your pick.

Could be people just like to breathe clean air, eat clean food, and drink clean water, what the fuck's up with that?

It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

George Bush Senior was US ambassador to the United Nations for two years in the early 70's. Linking him to some sort of NWO conspiracy because he was part of some family planning programme perhaps of questionable morality is not sufficient to re-evaluate pretty clear sentiments as expressed in his speech about a stronger UN.

I really don't think so. Most conspiracy theories originate from two places principally: the far-right and far-left. The political fringes. They can be unhealthy places morally speaking.

People wheel and deal all the time. Many people are greedy and self serving. The same goes for organisations. Its an unfortunate part of human nature. Yes there is corruption and often a lack of transparency. Reality is messy. People are messy morally speaking. Same goes for some institutions all of which are human made. I can accept those points and question the morality of politicians etc. without going through the conspiracy theory portal of believing for example that the US government would willingly kill 3,000+ of its own people. This is a key point about conspiracy theorists. It is a re-orientating of one's perception of reality to become a conspiracy theorist. Such people look for it under every stone. Any lack of clarity, any contradiction spells evil intent, Goldman-Sacks and the NWO. That is a perverse paranoia where mere doubt can validate views. You should appreciate that there is a distinction between accepting that governments can be corrupt where conspiracy can happen, and allowing it to infuse entire worldviews. The latter is corrosive to society.

It's a clue as to what he might mean by "credible".

Since when? It's a whole new world, PR wise, viral marketing, virtual networks updated in real time - these things did not exist for practical purposes 20 years ago, and it's changed and accelerated dramatically in the last Ten years, one cannot base assumptions on historical patterns, right wing philanthropies for example, spend huge amounts of money on this stuff, a lot of it comes out of AEI, it's straight up disinformation, and it's disseminated through the various media organs on the internet, the NRO, etc., radio and television, within hours, if not minutes.

They have their own PR firms, their own market researchers, the whole nine yards, it's not a bunch of nutjobs with tinfoil hats, it's a professional operation - they had managed to pin the whole mortgage meltdown on ACORN, before the market had even hit bottom - as if a bunch of impoverished Black people had managed to crash the global economy.

Lol, corruption is corrosive to society, free speech is all that stands between us and corruption, that is the purpose of the bill of rights, all of our freedoms are predicated on free speech, that, not the government, is the ultimate guarantor of your rights, of everyone's rights, it's worth the price of listening to a few rants - right wing conspiracy theories do real damage, Jones isn't telling anybody to kill people, he's not trying to overthrow the Constitution or the Bill of rights, he's ostensibly advocating enforcing it - unlike others I could, and have mentioned.

I think he comes up a bit short of messianic status, he's a shock jock, but like I said, he covers a lot of stories that get short, or no play in the mass media, more power to him.

Sure, Conspiracies happens all the time, so what are you saying? Pretend it isn't there? If there are conspiracies, there will be conspiracy theories, you want to end conspiracy theories, end the conspiracies - not gonna happen, we'll have to keep limping along with all of it, one thing that doesn't change much is human nature.
