Conspiracy Theories

Post by Crumpty Williams » Mon May 05, 2008 2:02 pm

What do y'all think of them.. generally/specifically?

At this point I'm pretty sure a diabolically evil secret elite is running the whole world and has been for centuries...

I like seeing where they lead, but I don't really buy a whole lot of them. Even if I did, what is there to do about them? If a group of people really has been running the whole world for this long... probably not gonna stop them.

I think no one is running nothing and everything works because people want it to, or doesn't work because they don't want it to. Example: Worth.

That was a pretty ambiguous statement... correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're saying something along the lines of "people have free will, therefore things are as people want them to be"...?

If that's what you're getting at, I ultimately agree, but don't believe that this logic precludes the possibility of a secret elite running the whole show. It could just mean that people by and large have chosen to be lulled into a spoon-fed reality... i.e. they simply have not objected to the reality the elite wants for them. The reason for this could certainly be other things than a lack of "free will" per se.... If there really is a secret elite, I think the single most likely explanation for lack of objection to it would simply be that people are unaware as to its existence and motives, not that they ultimately lack the free will to do so.

the whole "9/11 was an inside job" thing is the most recent one that just makes me laugh and a little pissed at the same time.

I've always loved hearing Illuminatus! theories. Was Robert Anton Wilson Illuminati?

I don't see any rational reason for people to actually get angry when other people say this. It pretty much goes hand-in-hand with the whole illuminati concept... If the world is, in fact, being run by a tight clique of ultra-psycho power mongers, doing something like this is pretty much exactly what you'd expect from them.

I don't think it's been determined if/to what extent Robert Anton Wilson has been involved in the Illuminati. A lot of people seem to think so since he wrote the Illuminatus books, but who knows...

Read the whole thing.
Well, I hope not to start a big argument, but:

1. NIST, being a government organization, could itself very well be controlled by the evil forces that be, which leaves open the possibility that this is nothing more than propaganda. [Essentially the point is that information coming from a government document--especially one attempting to exonerate the government itself from some accusation--isn't much of a rebuttal to a claim that the government is corrupt]

2. Even if everything in that report is 100% true, while it might put to rest some theories about what actually happened on 9/11, it really doesn't do anything to disprove the possibility that our beloved higher-ups made it happen.

you know this isn't a theory.....

should you really even mention them to the uninitiated?

and as far as R. A. Wilson goes, whatever anyone comes up with about that dude......that's exactly what he wants you to think....unless he doesn't.

I see. Well, I respect the " you are stupid because you disagree with what is obviously true" point of view. I mean, hey, I feel the same way... just from the opposite side of the fence.

But getting all angry and huffy about it is just a way for you to spoil your own presumably otherwise fine day.

i like the idea that there are alternate explanations for the way things happen, and that these explanations (sometimes) really do make as much sense as anything else.

i also really like the theories that are completely insane.

in summation... i think i like conspiracy theories because they're like a remixed reality. and i'm a nerd.
