Of all the conspiracies in the world, the biggest conspiracy of them is the least discussed. It is, of course, the conspiracy against…conspiracy theories. Oh, I know what you’re thinking. I’m just “another one of those conspiracy theorists”, right? Please let me assure you; it’s a conspiracy alright, and it likely includes the largest number of co-conspirators ever joined for a single purpose.
What is that purpose? Well, that’s the interesting part; it’s to completely discredit anyone who might, even jokingly forward the idea of specific perspectives on a specific issue or event into public discourse; or question the ‘official’ government version of…anything.
Isn’t that interesting? I find it fascinating"ever since I learned to turn my ‘frustrations’ into ‘fascinations’ anyway. You might want to learn how it’s done, too--in this day and age, it’s a necessary survival skill.
Why do you suppose just bringing up the JFK assassination and offering the nonsensical notion that ‘in the usual course of affairs’ a bullet might not be disposed to make quite as many twists and turns as the official magic bullet is said to have made, might draw listener expressions ranging from ‘mildly not amused’ or ‘belligerently condescending’ to belittling and dismissive?
This is where that “turning frustration into fascination” thing can make discussions with those who opted for the ‘Blue’ pill, ‘fun’. Imagine the good times you’ll have when, unbeknownst to your ‘bait-taker-playing-piece’, you actually want to get the most extreme response from them that you possibly can. They’ll never see it coming. Try it, it’s more entertaining, and vastly more educational than anything you’ll find on TV. Make an evening of it"treat the family to some fun letting the imp in them run amuck.
It’s not just the Kennedy assassination that draws the eye-rolls, far from it. There’s a list a mile long of topics and events “we’re just not supposed to talk about”. Try this, get into a conversation with some new people and after you’ve made introductions and small talk , just slip one of the ‘Anti-Conspiracy-Conspirator’s ‘buzz’ words into the conversation, and get ready for a free but thrilling verbal rollercoaster ride.
Here are a few good words to use, to help you get started: Lincoln, Lusitania, Tea Pot Dome, ‘Tora, Tora, Tora’, Roswell, Area 51, JFK, 9-11, Watergate, RFK, Ancient Aliens, Bin Laden Death Date, Chemtrails, Fluoride, No-wreckage Pentagon plane, Tower 7, Thermite, Ruby Ridge, Mena, Privately-owned Federal Reserve, New World Order, Bilderberg, Illuminati, The Branch Dividians, OKC, Global Warming, Global Cooling, Operation Northwoods, H.A.A.R.P., Reptilians. These are just off the top o’ my head"just the tip of the iceberg my friend. There’s hours of hilarious entertainment in these words"it’s a veritable treasure chest of fun for the whole family!
The sheer number of verbal “no speech zone” words or topics that are simply not to be publicly disagreed with(…and certainly not discussed in any rational manner or open forum) is in itself nothing short of breathtaking.
The question is; ‘why?’ What happened to searching to find the indisputable Truth, whatever it turns out to be? What happened to having enough confidence in your argument that you are willing to carry it forward onto the battlefield of ideas where every inch of it might be scrutinized by your opposition, and you are likewise afforded those opportunities? Isn’t that where the thrill of intellectual victory is proclaimed?
Well, those days have come and gone for the most part, but for ‘the remnants’.
The corporate media sells advertisers on the idea that their readers are susceptible to advertisements. “See how well trained they are? They actually pay us to tell them what we want them to think"in the long run, we free them up from having to ponder questions so they can have a lot more mindless fun time. They should pay us.” (Attributed to a ‘king’ of the public information industry meeting with a potential advertiser.)
It’s not just media hucksters though, it’s political ‘leaders’ too--even commoners. Some of our fellow ‘Citizen Equals’ are convinced they have a vested interest in deriding anyone who dares rock the proverbial boat and speaks against the latest poll, their government benefits package or some other pecuniary interests.
The Olde Media and Political interests are very easy to understand"they’re up-to-no-good, and they don’t want lots of eyes on ‘em…if you know what I mean. All they want is a responsive public who will follow protocol: “Shut up, sit down, pay your taxes and be a good socialist. Here’s some candy.”
So, what about those fellow Citizens who have joined the conspiracy-against-conspiracy-theorists? Why would they do that? Why wouldn’t they want to adhere to Reagan’s admonition about dealing with the ‘Evil Empire’ of his day; “Trust…but verify”? Who knows?
I don’t know, but my experiences could best be expressed in the universally appealing thought that what one doesn’t know; won’t hurt one. Anyone daring to point out that…‘yes, it will’, is simply not appreciated. But then, as Ron Paul is oft quoted, “Truth is Treason in an Empire of Lies” and the naturally-curious are said to be ‘off’ rather than have their thoughts considered.
There is a very strange, unnatural, almost surreal cloud of willful cognitive dissonance that hangs over much of the population"they don’t want to know that the politicians they entrusted with their safety and security might, maybe, possibly be up to no good. If they knew, and other people knew they knew, they’d have to change something-responsibility. The problem is, the people that need to be ‘gotten rid of’, are the very people the public has turned to stop people from doing what they are doing. So who’s in charge of ‘watching the watchers’…comon’ there must be somebody? Oh, the public knows, but they don’t “officially” know, if you know what I mean. You can’t be said to condone bad things…if no one can prove that you know about ‘em, right?
Sadly, my cynicism does little more than illicit half-a-smile as I write in utter fascination of what’s become of a nation founded on a great idea and a hunk of land. It was a wide open territory; not only in terms of terra firma, but more importantly it was wide open to uncensored public debate on every single subject imaginable. Nothing was hidden from view. Science and innovations were tested in all markets and prosperity was within anyone’s reach. It was well understood that only the ones willing to test our limitations by stretching them, are able to define them.
We seem to have gone in reverse; retracing the steps of the now, out-of-business, Soviet Union. Soviet repression instilled a fear of the unknown, and even worse, it instilled a fear of questioning authority or of knowing ‘too much’. It was safer to not know nuthin’. Curiosity was considered a disability and an entire nation’s imagination atrophied. Nothing new, led to…nothing, and a 60 year-old superpower collapsed under its own weight, and went away.
Why would anyone want to do that; follow a failed socialist governmental model that historically has led to the same result all 93 times it has been tried? It’s gotta be the aluminum in the chemtrails, or the fluoride in the water that has quelled public dissent, or something. It’s just gotta be.
You would think it would be the first order of business in a free society to provide a simple open public forum, where all of everybody’s ‘evidence’ about everything might be weighed right out in front of God, and everybody. Only through argument, debate and presentation can the clearest view of the elusive Truth be had. What’s wrong with that?
I am more than a little certain that a society that enthusiastically embraces the idea of pure uncensored debate will quickly discern the crazy talk and wild speculation from factual substance. I am also more than a little certain that most of our current societal maladies are the unintended consequences of our not having questioned important events and issues.
I just hope you don’t think mine is a naïve obsession with the biggest conspiracy of them all"the conspiracy against conspiracies. You’re free to pick your own favorite from a vast selection, but mine’s so big…even the paranoids are after me.
Shhh, I hear someone coming. Be ver-wee ver-wee qwi-it, and put your tinfoil hat back on--it may be the only thing that can save you now.
