Anatomy of a Conspiracy Theorist

Conspiracy Theorist.
The mere mention of these words conjures up images of an unsavory creature. Unkempt hair and with a five o'clock shadow, sitting in a dark room. The dull glow of a computer monitor weakly accentuates his sinister features, the cherry of a lit cigarette waves carelessly through the air, bearing mute witness to the insane ramblings that fill the stale smelling room. The ramblings of a madman.

To his left, the discolored wall is adorned with a large bulletin board. Newspaper clippings hang haphazardly from push pins, and varying colors of yarn stretch from paper to paper, a color code denoting various connections between the conspirators. He hasn't slept in 72 hours and hasn't bathed for weeks. There is no time. He is on to something BIG. An earth-shattering conspiracy involving the Vatican that is sure to disintegrate the corrupted pillars upon which our entire rotten society lays.

Perhaps you can even use your imagination to hear what this diabolical doozy of a man is muttering to himself in the dark?

"But who to tell first?! The neighbors? I think not, for I fear they may be part and parcel to the coverup! The police? HAH! They are all in on it! The FBI? NAY! They would love nothing more than an excuse to throw a straitjacket on me and toss me into a padded room. No....... I must take this directly to the President of the United States of America! Yes. Yessss....... I will sneak into the White House at night and bring my evidence, he will have no choice but to take action after that! But what if the Secret Service confronts me? FOOLS! Then I shall have to kill them! The future of the entire world is at stake!"

As this looney loner concocts his Machiavellian melodrama, the last granules of sanity slip to the bottom of his mental hourglass, dooming the innocent civilians that will surely fall into his precarious path of violence.

This is the image that government agencies have worked toward fostering in our minds, deeply embedded, as to be a near-unconscious triggering mechanism of our brain. Although the term "Conspiracy Theorist" had invariably been bandied around before, 1967 was the year that saw it become weaponized. John F. Kennedy had been murdered in 1963, spawning much talk of a conspiracy by rogue elements of the U.S. intelligence agencies to silence him. You see, he was becoming quite vocal about the blatant imperialism of his beloved country. He also hinted at abolishing the private banking cartel controlling and manipulating our debt-based economy, the Federal Reserve.

This is what a rational person would call several motives.

It is also what Uncle Sam would like you to believe are mere coincidences.

After the assassination, there was an official investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Kennedy's untimely demise. It became unofficially known as the Warren Commission. The commission published its findings in September of 1964, and was immediately met with backlash and ridicule. It was rife with preposterous conclusions, glaring omissions, easily proven lies, and convenient coincidences.

Enter CIA Document 1035-960.

Titled "Countering Criticism of the Warren Commission Report", it was a memorandum that was disseminated among the CIA's agents in 1967. It was in response to the FOIA request which the New York Times had filed, which wanted the truth and not the contrived, sloppily assembled fairy tale explained in the Warren Commission Report. It explained in detail how the agents were to avoid, deflect, and ridicule any discussions involving criticisms of the Warren Commission. From this point on, and of course with the incessant and incestuous cooperation of government and media outlets, "Conspiracy Theorist" began its long and continuous slide into an increasingly derogatory, yet vaguely defined term.

At some point, merely questioning the official story of any given event, or pointing out obvious inconsistencies, earned one the scorn and ridicule of his/her peers. Critical thinking became seen as an act of defiance, an unnecessary exercise of the brain. It became patriotic to never question the version of events touted in the media. To swallow the hook, line and sinker of the political fishing pole swung by the nightly news. Uncle Sam always knows best. Just ask the Native Americans....

In order to successfully distract the populace, to divert the people's attention away from the nefarious actions of The Powers That Be (TPTB), it became necessary to manufacture division and strife amongst Americans. A fractured society is impotent, like a toothless viper, unable to coalesce into a formidable and determined foe. By the year 2000 it had become abundantly clear that the criminal cabal barely needed to disguise their actions, as long as an official report always cast the blame on a convenient "enemy".

The treasonous events that took place on 9/11/2001 accelerated not only the U.S.A.'s wars of aggression, but its war on conspiracy theorists as well. In George W. Bush's now infamous speeches announcing the new "War on Terror" (How does one wage a physical war with an ideology anyway?), he implored the American people to not entertain "outrageous conspiracy theories" about 9/11. He would also state, rather ominously, "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists". In layman's terms, that would mean either blindly supporting the war machine's wanton destruction of sovereign nations, or you are a terrorist who must be destroyed.

This marked a dismal transition period for the conspiracy theorist. A confused and very emotional U.S. populace was now standing at a precipice. The majority decided to take that final plunge into insanity, supporting the wars based upon lie after lie after lie. Into believing that Muslim=terrorist. At the very least, the ones that took that dive refused to dig any deeper into the infestation of evil weevils which saturated our government's structure. The few left standing at the precipice were in a precarious position.

Becoming an advocate for the truth became increasingly unappealing. People were being disowned all over the country by their family, by their loved ones, simply for voicing an unpopular opinion. By not believing that a former CIA operative, who was not only on kidney dialysis but also living in caves in Afghanistan, coordinated with Arabs to hijack planes with box knives and crash them into buildings in the most heavily guarded airspace in the entire world. Families were torn apart as hatred for Muslims spread through the U.S. like a hot knife through butter.

TPTB had successfully sown the seeds of discord, which would germinate into a warped tree bearing the toxic fruits of their hideous labor.

As the war machine continued its murderous rampage across the Middle East, its desecration of the cradle of civilization, any voice critical of U.S. policies became the target of smear campaigns, ridicule, and outright censorship. The propaganda increased exponentially. People were considered un-American, even terrorist sympathizers if they pointed out the blatant lies and corruption of the government. It was all laid out in the open for anyone to uncover with a little due diligence.

There became more and more whistleblowers, people who were privy to top secret information or rare access to certain locations, who stepped forward to expose the criminal policies and actions of Uncle Sam. One such example would be Edward Snowden, who worked as a contractor for the NSA. He gained access to extremely sensitive NSA documents, outlining the Orwellian style of pervasive and worldwide mass surveillance being done chiefly by the NSA and decided to come forward with proof of this. To escape criminal prosecution from the U.S.A., merely for bringing to light atrocious violations of human rights and international laws worldwide, he fled to Russia, where he continues to live to this day.

This instance and countless others like it, should have permanently lifted the proverbial wool from the sheep's eyes to reveal the sinister underbelly of the beast they so blindly trusted. Sadly, the majority could not pull the wool back over their eyes quick enough. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful drug, one that helps people cope with the harsh reality which they will refuse to acknowledge. As long as the power flows to the television, allowing the disciples of Project Mockingbird (research this topic) to disseminate the government approved propaganda directly to their brains, there is little need for independent inquisition. A simple appeal to authority argument is all that is needed to justify towing the official story. It is as they say, ignorance is bliss.

The sheep have been profiting from it for at least a century, it was nice to be alowed to pastor on the greener fields and watching the poor sheep abroad walking the green mile, never bothered us.
Now that it's time for our flock to head direction slaughterhouse, most realize the wickedness of this system but they also realize that all the other flocks they saw going down this very path was due to them getting fatter and using more pastor that was missing for the other flocks... It's a dilemma, can't acknowledge the sickness of the system without acknowledging your own for taking part in it...

It's like Cypher eating that stake, once you know how the system works its really hard to enjoy it's perks.

Ignorance is bliss...

Only way to be sure is to give your laptop a good bath.

They force us to oppress others, however reluctantly, due the the fact that the textile and various other industries are set up to be dependent on sweatshops and slave labor producing materials for pennies on the dollar, to be sold in more prosperous regions to people that by and large are unaware of the immense pain and suffering imprinted into the very materials constituting their everyday products and clothing.

It's a rich tapestry of pain, suffering, convenience, vanity, and built in obsolescence.

Conspiracy Theorists:

• They never mention the fact that both Randolph Churchill, the only son of Winston Churchill, and Robert F. Kennedy, brother of John F. Kennedy, died on the same day (6 June 1968), even though most of these theorists are Americans or British.

• Many of them find a painting at the Denver airport suspicious, but none of them ever mention the Vatican.

• Many of them denounce the lack of border control but none of them find suspicious that no President/PM (in Western Europe and North America) had done anything to solve this problem since the 1970s.
