I'm a conspiracy theorist and you should be too
I’ve been labelled a bunch of hilarious things over the years, from “racist” to “homophobe” to “misogynist”, and the newest glorious addition is “conspiracy theorist”. Even my Wikipedia page is framed in such a way, and it’s fantastic.
The more labels, the better.
But the reason I’m labelled a “conspiracy theorist” is because I don’t blindly accept stuff I’m told by the media. Specifically, most things relating to this fake pandemic. Instead, I think critically about things which, as it turns out, is becoming a bad idea.
What is a conspiracy theory?
In short, it’s “a theory seeking to explain a disputed case or matter as a plot by a secret group or alliance rather than an individual or isolated act”.
Bohemian Grove, a place where the world’s elite gather annually to drink and hold secret discussions, doesn’t exist, and the conception of the Manhattan Project (the atomic bomb) didn’t happen there in 1942.
Except that, well, the above is actually true.
But you see, apparently, conspiracies don’t happen, which is why theorising that they do gets you ostracised by the establishment.
Until after the fact, that is.
Because once the truth has been revealed, then it’s all good.
Did you know that the Washington press corps was secretly followed between 1963 and 1973? It was known as Operation Mocking Bird and it involved the CIA wiretapping their phones to keep tabs on their activities and who, at the same time, quietly paid journalists to publish propaganda.
In spite of the secret plot later being uncovered by conspiracy theorists, it’s easier rather to believe that it didn’t happen, fellow sheep.
Speaking of the CIA, there was speculation that MKUltra existed, in which thousands of unsuspecting people were secretly given LSD to test mind control techniques, and in which around 1600 NAZI scientists were employed. Wernher von Braun, for example, worked on American military ballistics and was involved in the moon landing. He also developed the Jupiter-C rocket, which was used to launch America's first satellite.
Conspiracy theorists - or critical thinkers, as noted by The New York Times - turned out to be correct.
Here’s the thing.
Believing that there are not nefarious, powerful people trying to control our lives from a local level to a global level, is profoundly naive and, quite frankly, stupid.
And no, this doesn’t mean that everything is a conspiracy.
From physical wars like those of Alexander The Great, to invisible wars like those involving releasing of viruses and capturing personal data, conspiracies are absolutely part of our human experience.
James Corbett has a great explainer video.
It’s not a conspiracy theory if they’re openly telling you what they’re doing.
