"You sound like a conspiracy
theorist."
RESPONSE: "Conspiracy Theorist?" Now tell me the truth, where
did you hear that term...on TV? (Laugh) ... The label of "Conspiracy Theorist"
is tactic used to discredit those of us who can see through the government/media-bullshit
that you, evidently, cannot. Let me get this straight. Are you saying that men in high positions
of power are not capable of criminal activity and telling lies to the general public to
cover that up? Are you really that naive?" (Laugh as you say this.)
"I'm not saying that governments don't lie, but a conspiracy like that would have to involve
100's of people. You can't hide something like that."
RESPONSE: "You're absolutely right.
I agree with you 100%. It is impossible to totally cover up a conspiracy so massive. That's why
I know about it! What you must understand is that they don't have to cover
it up totally. Even a bucket that has a few leaks can still do the job of
carrying water from here to there! They only need to fool 80% of the public, which isn't
hard to do when you control the major networks and newspapers. The 10-20% that do figure it out (and
the fewer still who will dare to speak their minds about it) can be very easily marginalized
with the propaganda label "conspiracy theorist." The 80% + never take us critical thinkers seriously because they want to be part
of the majority. This is known as groupthink. (*Note: When saying "conspiracy theorist",
always hold your two hands up as you make sarcastic quote marks with your fingers.)
(The Ridicule
Trick) "That's ridiculous (as he rolls his eyes). Do you really believe that nonsense?"
RESPONSE: "Can I ask you an honest question?" (Wait
for "yes") Do you consider yourself an open minded, critical thinking person
- yes or no? (Wait for "yes") Then how can you possibly ridicule an opinion
when you haven't even done 10 minutes of research into the matter? That's kind of ignorant don't you think?"
(Wait for response.)g out, and concealing, their plots. Take for example
the Manhattan Project. Hundreds of the world's top scientists were holed up in a desert for months as
they worked on the Atomic Bomb. More than 100,000 people, each sworn to silence, worked on
the project in 3 secret cities. A test bomb was even detonated in the the desert and
not one word was said about it! This conspiracy was so secretive, that when FDR died and Vice
President Truman became President, FDR's advisors had to inform him of the Project's existence! So
you see, the shadowy intelligence element of the government is VERY capable!"
"Not
everything is a conspiracy, but nor is NOTHING a conspiracy either. Wouldn't you agree that we should
evaluate each case independently and with an open mind?" (Wait for response.)
"Conspiracy theories appeal to people because they are
comforting."
RESPONSE: "Exactly the OPPOSITE
is true. It is far more comforting to believe that certain tragic events happen exactly
as the TV says, than to believe in monstrous internal plots beyond our control. Do you actually think that
I enjoy believing that such evil exists? You think I like being ridiculed by simple minded
family members and friends? Take it from me, the life of a "conspiracy theorist"
can actually be quite stressful at times!"
"Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."
RESPONSE: "I
don't believe everything that's on the Internet. But apparently you believe
everything that's on the Idiot Box! I only believe those things which are verifiable,
and consistent with my own sense of reasoning and logic. The beauty of the Internet is that, unlike the
TV that you worship so much, all sides of an issue are presented on the Internet. It allows
a critical thinker to figure out what the true story is. The TV doesn't give you
that option. Do you really believe that the media presents the whole story? Are you
that naive? (laugh) Remember the fairy tale of the 'weapons of mass destruction'
in Iraq? The media shoved that lie down our throats. So why do you trust the media so blindly
and not the Internet?"
(Wait for response.)
"Some conspiracy
theorists still believe Elvis is still alive."
RESPONSE: "So, according
to your twisted logic, because some theories are false, therefore ALL theories are false? I'm astonished
that you could make such a stupid and offensive anology! Is that the best you got?" (Wait
for response.)
"You
don't have any respect or compassion for the family members of the dead."
RESPONSE:
"I am honoring the dead by pursuing the truth as to who really killed them! If someone
in your family was killed, wouldn't you want to know who the true culprit was?"
(Wait for response.)
"This
is crazy. I don't believe in conspiracy theories."
RESPONSE: "You don't believe it?
Or You don't WANT to believe it? There's a big difference between the two. The
human mind is filled with complexes, one of which is the desire to shield itself from
unpleasant truths. You're afraid that if you look into this, you might see that it's true.
And you're especially afraid that if you come to agree with me, you too will then become marginalized
as a "conspiracy theorist." It is FEAR that is causing you to close your
mind and act like a sheep. Grow a pair and stop being so closed minded!"
"Conspiracy theories appeal to uneducated people because they provide
simplistic answers to complex events."
RESPONSE: "Exactly the OPPOSITE
is true! The evaluation of conspiracy theories not only requires much time and study, but also applied
logic and critical thinking. Did you know that Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Bobby
Fischer all believed in the "one-world conspiracy theory"? Were those men stupid?
No, it is intellectually lazy people like you who choose to swallow and parrot whatever
simplistic narrative that the TV feeds you. Do you ever question anything that the
TV feeds you?" (Wait for response.)
"Not everything that happens in the world is a conspiracy!"
RESPONSE: "Not everything is a conspiracy, but nor is NOTHING a conspiracy either. Wouldn't
you agree that we should evaluate each case independently and with an open mind?" (Wait for response.)
"Governments
are so incompetant that they can't even deliver the mail on time or balance a budget. They couldn't conspire
their way out of a paper bag!".
RESPONSE: "Don't
confuse your incompetant, dim witted Congressman or Senator with the shadow government. The dark covert
elements who stage these events are very skilled at carrying out, and concealing, their plots. Take
for example the Manhattan Project. Hundreds of the world's top scientists were holed up in
a desert for months as they worked on the Atomic Bomb. More than 100,000 people,
each sworn to silence, worked on the project in 3 secret cities. A test bomb was even detonated
in the the desert and not one word was said about it! This conspiracy was so secretive, that
when FDR died and Vice President Truman became President, FDR's advisors had to inform him of the Project's existence!
So you see, the shadowy intelligence element of the government is VERY capable!"
(The Unresolved Detail Trick) "If this
is a conspiracy then explain to me how they managed to do x, y, and z?"
RESPONSE:
"I don't have every missing piece of this puzzle. But I have enough pieces to
KNOW that the government-media version is false! Imagine if I gave you a 100 piece jigsaw
puzzle, and told you that the image is of a beach in Hawaii. But after
snapping 30 pieces together, you notice polar bears, snow capped mountains, and men covered
in furs. Although there are still 70 missing pieces, you already have enough to KNOW that the image is
NOT that of a beach in Hawaii. It's the same with solving conspiracies. I may not have
all of the details, but I have laid out enough pieces to know that the official story
is a lie. Does that make sense to you? (Wait for response.)
(The Isolated
Piece of Evidence Trick) "Other than citing some historical events, you still
haven't shown me one piece of evidence that this was a conspiracy. Tell me just
one thing that most proves a conspiracy."
RESPONSE:
"That's a trick question! If I tell you "just one thing", you'll
just climb on your high horse and dismiss it as a "coincidence". What
I want to show you is TWENTY THINGS! But you're too closed minded to consider the
case in its totality! You won't even watch a You Tube video let alone read the case!
I sure hope you never get selected to serve on a jury! You want everything boiled down to a
simplistic media sound byte. Unless you will commit to a few hours of study, I'm wasting
my time with you. Why are you so afraid to study this? (Wait for response)
"If
this were true, the media would be all over it! It would be on the front page of every newspaper
in America."
RESPONSE:
"The media, the government, the International bankers, Hollywood, and academia
are all part of the same incestuous complex. The media is part of the conspiracy,
so why would you expect them to tell you the truth?" (Wait for response.)
"You wouldn't be able
to corrupt so many people. Every reporter and politician would have to be "in
on it" in order to cover it up."
RESPONSE: "The corruption doesn't
come from the outside-in. It comes from the top-down. If the ownership of a
major media organization decides that a certain story is to be spiked, or if another story
is to be hyped, then the rest of the organization follows. If a low level reporter
decides to defy his bosses, he will lose his job and be blacklisted. Remember Helen Thomas?
After 50 years as a White House Correspondent, she was dumped like a hot potato for publicly
criticizing Israel. The same fearful top-down control works in government and academia as well.
If it were
just one or two coincidences, I would agree with you. But when you have a series
of 10,15, 20 different anomolies, the law of statistics PROVES that they can't all be
just "coincidence". For example, if we're playing dice, and I roll a
"7" to win. That d"So what? just because
"x" happened, or "y" said this, it doesn't mean it's a conspiracy. You're
taking a few coincidences and making a conspiracy out of it. "
RESPONSE: "If it were just
one or two coincidences, I would agree with you. But when you have a series of 10,15,
20 different anomolies, the law of statistics PROVES that they can't all be just "coincidence".
For example, if we're playing dice, and I roll a "7" to win. That doesn't
mean that my dice are rigged. It's just a 1 in 6 coincidence. But if I roll a "7",
eight times in a row, then that's a 1 in 150,000 "coincidence". You would have to
be a fool not to question the integrity of those dice! You do understand probabilities don't
you? (Wait for response.)
