One of my favorites is the long-winded speech that he gave defending the shortage of coffee in Nazi Germany, attacking those that complained about it.
...the United States is often cast as a villain in these dramas.

I also note that they did not say anything about flying saucers at area 51.

The way the explanations are written are very interesting, they use the word "Fear" over and over again ... saying WE are in fear and so we come up with some "Fantasy" explanation for things so we can live with ourselves.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.
It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

Every damn thing that the US gov does is now a conspiracy!
As they say....attack the heart. Break his spirit and then take away all hope.
If people branded around pure fact then the gov would have to change their approach and the way they do things. But when lies and absolute nonsense are spread they cannot let it happen for its embarrasses the US and its gov and makes it appear weak.
When you back an animal into a corner you are giving no choice but to Attack. To kill without mercy! they are feeding their enemy their own heart.
When the cull comes who are they going to beg for another chance? When jobs are lost who do they turn to for a hand out? When terrorist finally attack the US one day who will the people ask for help from?
I know which side my bread is buttered. Personally, if you cant beat them, join them. Just thinking out loud!
The new world can not evolve with people constantly making up some rubbish. And this site can no longer function properly with people dragging their own gov through the mud without proof.
IF the gov takes you and locks you up in camp and says you are a threat to national security.....prove you are not!!
You are asking the gov to prove they did not have anything to do with 9/11. How can they when they have been judged already. How can they prove they have your best interest at heart? When you have already convinced yourselves otherwise.

Thanks for the post and the analogy. I agree with your assessment of the analogy for the most part.
The only thing I have to add is that proprietary information, be it corporate, military/intelligence or government has alotted a system that is easily manipuatable. I still wonder how people don't readily acknowledge that either the name "Bush" or "Clinton" effectively synonimized with "Republican" and "Democrat" for the past thirty years...and there is history that extends further back.
To assume that the government is the sole target of conspiracy theories is incorrect. One must discard the labels and look at the interactions from a broader perspective to start viewing past the connotations and abstracts.

Now because of conspiracy our very freedoms are being taken away and soon we will not have access to anything that can lead us down the conspiracy road.
I think that perhaps you may have meant to state that conspiracy theorists are the reason our freedoms are being eeked away...but in fact, your phrasing hits the nail right on the head, in my opinion.

Let me tell you what I do know about some websites no names mentioned.
The original intent of cookies was to make your life easier. Sites that you visited before or frequently visited would store certain information about who you are; full name, phone number, IP addy, MAC addy and computer name etc. Infact a cookie can record just about everything on your machine... so when you returned to the site you would not have type this information again. This in itself may actually be helpful to you. That is, if it is secure, and not performing some other task. Like many things created to make your life easier and with good intention, others will see it as an opportunity to exploit you. A cookie can be used to send a certain party block info on that user. It will scan other sites similar to those you have visited and cross check you details against those. This is called pattern building. Then this info is sent back to the website owner and analyzed for specifics. By you bouncing around the internet one can gather over time all the info one needs to match that to an identity. If you have ever used a social website like facebook then then your info is then matched again and so on and son. Just like if you use google search engine. Your details have been logged over and over. Now they are being matched.
This website was used to gain info on YOU. of course they knew you would find it and you did!
The website for the Official United States Government is
www.usa.gov
Not www.america.gov
Make of it what you will

The link you provided is NOW invalid!
----
The Page You Are Looking for Has Moved.
This Web site has been redesigned and restructured, and the page you are looking for may no longer be available. Learn more about the new structure from the homepage or Site Map. You may also wish to use the Search page.
The page is still there.. But.. they have fixed the URL to redirect so that you can only get to the page from a Google search.. This seems to be to discourage people posting the URL as a direct link.
You can even go to the page, copy the URL, then paste it directly back into the browser, and hit Enter... And be taken to the redirected page !
Now that sounds like a conspiracy in itself.
Boys and girls, We are seeing the Official Birth of Big Brother. Trust Nothing you see and here from this moment on. it will all be Lies and Manipulations.
You can follow them on FaceBook and other Social networking sites.. they claim they are willing to go where the conversation is .. even though they do not have thier public forum..
We should all join and Debunk them ! :-)
Info here - if this link works - www.america.gov...
