Macron called Jean-Marie Le Pen a conspiracist for saying that Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral fire was the work of a foreign organization and that the government should better keep an eye on some of these foreign countries. So, it's a fact that those who believe conspiracy theories are dangerous because they are speaking/speading the truth. I came. I saw. I Concorde.

Another scientist here- data scientist and modeling analyst, so I have spent my whole career (30 years!) working on recognizing patterns and separating signal from noise. I discuss conspiracy theories with my kids often, and we have good discussions on which ones are clearly stupid and why (flat earth, Mandela effect, the moon is a space station, etc) and which ones may have some merit and are harder to dismiss (Scalia was possibly murdered, contrails, Seth rich, Bilderburg, etc). It's an excellent exercise in thinking & problem solving. Also an excellent exercise in truth, which is the primary reason the left wants it gone. Careful! They are listening! VP Elect is the way to go. All the perks, none of the responsibility... |

Have seen so many times in my life that Prime Ministers all read from the same script, almost always something their subjects strongly object to, and usually about war. Well, the war has come home to us. Thanks for being there when the window was open. As it closes, keep the faith. Read the I Ching, it explains the cycles and when to hide in the shrubs and when to flee and when to act. Timing matters. |

He adds many fantastic examples of historical events in which the elements of Sun Tsu are demonstrated. Sometimes it takes decades of patience before you win. |

When “they” label fact as conspiracy and try to silence dissent, “they” are simply trying to cover their asses. In other words, “they” are about to lose their asses and “they” know it. That said, we all must work together to ensure that “they” never make it back into power. Can you imagine what hell we’d be in if their poster girl had won? Within the surreal depths of "reality" lies the truth. |

I don't understand why there's a correlation between CTs and the sort of racism, sexism, and fundamentalist bigotry you see on here in probably half the threads, but I really don't see any trace of causation. Quoting: Wurzel A lot of the stuff that turns up is complete bunk, but there's also the 'serious' conspiracy theorism that is about finding out truths that are deliberately hidden. It's basically a form of investigative science, trying to tease out the real facts, which is why there are probably quite a lot of scientists on here. But then, it also seems to attract the xenophobes, paranoiacs and others who just want to watch the world burn - or at least any bits of the world that don't agree with them. The problem is that labelling conspiracy theorists as if they were a single type of person (you know the stereotypes) is exactly the same type of lazy, destructive thinking as that of some of the people they're attacking... You've always been the enemy. Soon you will go to the hot place. Prepare accordingly. Last Edited by AltSwede on 05/03/2019 11:11 AM AltSwede |

I am estranged from my own father, and my mother is in a Cult. People are very easy to brainwash / those of us who chose to think for ourselves often suffer from a high IQ - that's it, (nothing "wrong" with us). They won't lock us up for reading conspiracy theories. Pretty sure the jokers (Bezos, Zuk, Thiel) will "ban" them and they will fail - like Clown orchestrated "MSM." As long as they can keep about 2/3 programmed- they can run their agenda.

If you believe in conspiracy theories you might be more likely to engage in trying to get a replacement or refund from a store when a store thinks you are unentitled to these. That’s a summary of one of the theories of low level criminality found in the article. So...getting ripped off because of a no return policy is okay because if you fight it you might be considered dangerous. |

Quoting: Tainted Meat I don't think thats true theres both and inductive and deductive parts to the process of science and the inductive part involves making wild guesses based on very little data without necessarily being able to fully articulate their justifications not any different than the connections made by conspiracy theorists of course like science conspiracy theory also has a deductive part which due to lack of evidence or resources often can't be pursued ... but if it is pursued, the conspiracy theory is either disproven and disappears, or proven in which case its not a 'conspiracy theory' in the usual meaning of the term |

Of course thats dangerous....to the conspirators who just want you to not think too hard and swallow their lies. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 51750288 This. Truth Seeking. In effect this is what the calling to journalism is and what all journalists are supposed to be. Children need to be trained, if not by schools, then their parents need to fill the gaps and examine what schools teach and better them, to critically examine issues, ask who benefits gains from the lies, assume all is propaganda and lies, and to be taught to search for evidence and connect dots which seems to be more capable from 115 IQ on, but IQ is maleable. Teaching kids to be truth seekers raises IQ and nearly everyone can get there. Last Edited by Sungaze_At_Dawn on 05/03/2019 12:23 PM The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist.

All of us into research need the credentials of good scientists to help validate the actual reality of things. Lately I've taken to telling people this: You need to be able to discern the difference between a conspiracy theorist and an independent investigative journalist. It seems that the only information we're "allowed" to get must come from mainstream media. Find other sources and you're boxed and labeled. So-called "conspiracy theorists" are the ones who deal in speculation based on what they're seeing. Or connecting information based on other theories. This has the tendency to create a virtual tower of Babel. Independent investigative journalists rely solely on documentation and facts. It's a sad reality that those who do research with integrity, honesty and and perception are bagged by the mainstream as "conspiracy theorists." I don't trust mainstream news one iota. It's mostly lies and misdirection. When I find people are doubting me, I always tell them to watch videos by James Corbett on his YouTube [and other] channels. The man is a brilliant historian, connector of patterns, etc. Funny thing [and this may seem like a conflict of interest] is that he "found" my YouTube channel and loved the playlist regarding Music Theory in the songs of the Beatles. He wound up featuring me in his "Truth music 2017" video. He since became my guitar student via Skype. Since he's worked with me, he's become and songwriter and started a band. It occurred to me one day that here we were on two different ends of a spectrum, me, a music theorist and CT hobbyist. Him an investigative journalist and music hobbyist. How did these connect? People who are deeply immersed in music and music theory develop a keen sense of pattern recognition. They have to if that want to compose or improvise. People who are delving into investigating history and its effects also develop a keen pattern recognition ability. It's a 6th sense of sorts. This is where me and James met on common ground. Do yourself a favor: go to YouTube and type the search parameters: "James Corbett, "World War I conspiracy." It's a meticulously researched, three part series that digs up many of the root sources of contemporary "conspiracy theory." Check out James' channel: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] You have no free will because you had no choice about whether to read this or not. |

The internet totally crippled their ability to control the flow of information. Maybe it was an experiment to see what would happen if they loosened the chains a bit. Maybe they just wanted to let the free thinkers out themselves and form groups so as to make finding and eliminating threats easier. Order fears freedom. It’s not rational because it’s insanity. Don’t hurt yourself trying to explain crazy. |
