How To Create Conspiracy Theories

Original Article

Posted By: Moritz55, 7/25/2023 2:50:09 AM

It is easy to birth conspiracy theories. All that is required is chronic government stonewalling of reasonable requests for transparency. Then add in high officials serially lying under oath, along with the blatantly unequal application of the law. Institutionalize arguments from authority of politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to adjudicate arguments empirically. Include the weaponization of investigatory and intelligence bureaucracies. Finish with the transformation of an obsequious media into a mouthpiece of the state. And presto, you end up with a skeptical, cynical public that learns to believe the very opposite from what it is told by elites.

When the government wants to control gas stoves and water heaters, the conspiracy theories write themselves.

If you know someone who has been caught in lies, its natural to be suspicious of anything he might say, forever. If it turns out the guy has NEVER told the truth about anything, it is safer to believe anything other than what he says. Thats where we are with this government.

Saul Alinsky would have been very proud of the successes of his radical devotees if he were alive today. But, one has to wonder if having a taste of the reality of spending eternity in “Lucifer’s kingdom”, since his death in the early seventies, might have caused some reflection & changed his mind about the qualities of that radical kingdom. Sadly for them, his fellow radicals will join him one day, if they don’t change. They will have eternity to reflect on their past radical community organizing & fundamental transformation successes together. But, they will never be able to change their eternal “community”.

Americans have lost trust in everything that has been controlling our lives in the name of legitimate government, including elections, which have historically been our only legal way to change things for the better. Unquestioning belief in the power of authority changed with Donald Trump. He emerged as the one who could destroy the corruption that Washington has become but they were able to undermine and smear him and insert the idiot Joe Biden as a placeholder to continue and intensify their criminal behavior. We are at a tipping point now that our belief in "the system" has been shattered and the opportunity to correct it all lies in our hands. Unfortunately the legal means to do it has been stymied so we have some tough decisions to make.

Global Warming (AGW), and the climate change hoax are one big conspiracy. Elite leaders and governments conspire to use this false theory to extort money and exert control over people. The theft of the 2020 election is another conspiracy. The perpetrators of those crimes call all criticism of their actions a conspiracy theory. There is ample proof of those conspiracies. The media has had much success suppressing the truth, but eventually the truth will prevail.

As noted here, an excellent summation of fact vs. fiction in the swirling bowl of "conspiracy theories" called Washington D.C. Particularly telling is the disparate treatment of the J6 protesters vs. those who burned buildings in D.C. and tried to storm the White House grounds during the "summer of love". These days you have to assume that when anyone from this administration is speaking, they're lying. It doesn't matter the topic - it can range from something as inconsequential as a change in policies ("No, we're not coming for your water heaters or AC units...!") to deliberate amnesia in sworn testimony before lawmakers. It must be the water in D.C. because it afflicts everyone there - and then they bottle it and export it to wherever it's needed across the U.S. because it seems everyone in government is lying. They indicted Trump for a phone call to a head of state, but can't seem to see the obvious evidence of graft and thievery in the Biden household. You can't find what you're not seeking I guess... When will those who see what's happening finally have enough and simply...shrug...? greyseal

And most of these "conspiracy theories" have proven to be the truth after a while when they finally are unable to support their lies any longer and the facts leak out.

Re #9, don't be fooled into believing that "AI" can come up with original or new ideas. It cannot. There is no actual "AI" in the common sense meaning of the word "intelligent", implying an ability to come up with original, unscripted thoughts or ideas. All this "AI" stuff that they tout is just complex programming, and yes, occasionally if you set a complex program to sort through a huge morass of data, and give that software a series of parameters to sort on and compare - eventually a "nugget" can appear from massive dataset sorting. This is NOT "intelligence" just a totally dumb machine following a rules based sorting process for a long time, far longer than humans would tolerate, or could do in a reasonable amount of time. Need some huge data processed in some way? Machines can be programmed to do this sort of scut work. It is NOT "intelligence", but it can be useful, depending on what the goals are. It can be evil, too. For example, sorting through tons of license plate reader data and putting together a tracking map of where every single person goes, which can be popped up on demand. THAT is pure evil. It is doable today, and is NOT "AI", just programming.

For her entire life, four-year-old Navy Joan Roberts has been "she who must not be named." There is no evidence that her father has ever visited her, let alone held her.

House Republicans have floated launching an impeachment inquiry against President Biden amid newly surfaced allegations that suggest his involvement in the business dealings his son, Hunter. But can congressional lawmakers initiate the use of that constitutional tool for alleged treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors that transpired before holding the office of the presidency? "The answer is clear," Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Fox News Digital. "No one knows." Article II, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high

A majority of Americans - and an overwhelming number of Democrats - no longer support First Amendment protections for free speech. The government should restrict “false” information online, even if doing so blocks people from “publishing or accessing information,” 55 percent of Americans said in a large poll released Thursday. Only 42 percent disagreed. The antipathy to free speech represents a sea change in attitudes in just five years. It is driven by a powerful new hostility to First Amendment rights on the left. In an identically worded poll five years ago, Democrats and Republicans favored free speech online by roughly 3 to 2 margins. Today

An academic who helped craft Florida’s African American history curriculum called out Vice President Kamala Harris for mischaracterizing the course material in interview footage ABC News left on the cutting room floor. The Florida Board of Education recently approved a new curriculum for African American history, with a section on how "slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit" drawing heavy criticism. Harris condemned this line in a recent speech, declaring that "they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it."

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted Republicans will gather enough evidence soon to mount an impeachment inquiry against President Biden, as the corruption scandal enveloping him and his son Hunter continues to grow. McCarthy, R-Calif., made reference to a relatively new revelation from the House Oversight Committee that – while Joe was vice president – Hunter Biden "capitalized" on a financial relationship with a Romanian national later convicted on corruption charges. According to prepared remarks from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., in June, the Bidens received more than $1 million in 17 increments.

The center-right Popular Party has beaten Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez' Socialists but will need several junior parties to govern. The result is likely to spark weeks of political uncertainty. Spain's opposition right-wing Popular Party (PP) won Sunday's snap general election, with 100% of the votes counted, but was set to fall short of a parliamentary majority. The PP and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez' Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) had 33.1% and 31.7% shares of the vote respectively, the results showed. This would give the PP, under leader Alberto Nunez Feijoo, 136 seats in the 350-seat lower chamber, the Congress of Deputies, and the Socialists 122 seats.

President Biden should find ways to defy the rulings of "MAGA justices" for their "gravely mistaken" constitutional interpretations, university professors urged in a letter on Wednesday. Harvard law professor Mark Tushnet and San Francisco State University political scientist Aaron Belkin penned "An Open Letter to the Biden Administration on Popular Constitutionalism" to respond to what Biden has called "not a normal court" following high-profile cases. "We urge President Biden to restrain MAGA justices immediately by announcing that if and when they issue rulings that are based on gravely mistaken interpretations of the Constitution that undermine our most fundamental commitments, the Administration will be guided by its own constitutional interpretations," they wrote.

The Supreme Court decision last month ruling against affirmative action in higher education could dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in corporate America, experts say. On Thursday, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision said that colleges and universities could not include race considerations in their admissions process, effectively outlawing what's known as affirmative action and upending previous legal precedent that allowed it. The decision has sparked debate on if and how it could influence other sectors of public life, including the hiring and promotion practices of companies and corporations.

Faced with a historically unpopular president overseeing a weak economy and promoting left-wing “Bidenomics,” Republicans have a golden opportunity in 2024. The election couldn’t be more winnable. And the only thing that should matter for Republicans is actually winning it. While there is a sense that Donald Trump has become a frontrunner in the Republican primaries, there is just as much of a sense that he can’t win a general election—not anymore. Here's the hard truth: If Trump secures the Republican nomination, Joe Biden will be re-elected. But, if Ron DeSantis becomes the nominee, then the Democrats have little to no chance.
