It says that if you scream loud enough, established norms will buckle under the pressure. And while those norms might be annoying and flawed, we'll all miss them if they go.  –UK Telegraph

With US belief in "conspiracy theory" over 50 percent (see our previous article here) elites are showing increasing concern that they have lost control of their narrative.

This article again illustrates elite push back. The article explains that if people grow paranoid about government, then the "norms" of government will collapse.

Conspiracy theory is called "paranoid politics" in this article but it amounts to the same thing.

The article also has parallels to an article we analyzed recently here by Cass Sunstein. His Bloomberg editorial suggested that nothing was more important from a political standpoint than returning "civility" to Congress and politics generally.

This article runs along the same lines: Negative perceptions of the US government can make the process of "governing" dysfunctional

Take the "chemtrails" conspiracy theory: the idea that the white trails left behind in the sky by aeroplanes are sinister chemicals dispersed to sterilise or control voters.

If a government declares there is "no evidence" of such chemicals, that itself must be clear evidence that there's something "they" don't want us to know. But if that government were to open up an investigation, that too would be incontrovertible proof: "they" must have found something.

Let's reverse this reasoning. Apparently, one can't question much that government does because skepticism puts government in a no-win situation.

Better to accept official pronouncements, then. The only trouble is that almost anything modern Western governments say are lies.

Governments aren't even important these days. The world from what we can tell is run by a small banking elite that controls the awesome power of  central banks and the money they print.

The trillions available to this small group has allowed it to change the nature of society around the world.

The goal is global government and every kind of violence and corruption is employed to achieve it.
