Title: Conspiracy theorists, general IQ

Because so much of our history is about deception...It's how we get into wars, how we sell the idea and the American dream---wrapped up in American flag...and people buy into it so blindly. Then you have movies like JFK and The Matrix, then the coverups, it doesn't really help much. and let's not forget the ever increasing encroachment on our rights, the patriot act, etc...

That is when the looney tunes start to come out, and EVERYDAY life becomes a Conspiracy...it's the man trying to hold you down, when in fact, it's your own paranoia that is holding you down.

Some people really like to think they know something that somebody else doesn't.  It gives them a sense of superiority when in their life they feel powerless and inferior. I chalk it up to bad parenting.

it's not being a conspiracy theorist to say that most of what we "see" on tv is -sorry..CAN BE- staged by professionnals -except weather events-. Basically everything that is human, is to some extent, scripted and fake. To say "it could be real, or it could be fake" doesnt make you a conspiracy theorist.

What makes someone's a conspiracy theorist is to pretend that you know what truly happened, is truly happening or will truly happen. But just stating that it could be real or fake doesnt make you a conspiracy theorist.

Fact is nobody can tell if osama ben laden has been killed, if he ever existed, if it's him in the video, if al quaeda exists, if the events of the WTC werent staged etc. All of this could have been fake from the very beginning.

I know the tsunamis were for real, in japan etc -but to be honnest, i dont know what caused them-
I DO NOT KNOW if it's ben laden in the vid, if al quaeda exists, if the websites are ran by extremist  muslims or by occidentals pushing an agenda and so on.

This is being objective and realistic.


Just look at most soaps, even so called reality shows, movies of course... everything is scripted. What makes you think military operations or political moves arent?

 A 6 y/o kid can build stories and make up situations to fool adults. What do you think adults can do, especially when their money, power and image are at stake?

you know what, show me pics taken by the special ops who killed ben laden of his body and ill believe it.

it's not that hard. And dont wait 1 year to show them off, like osama,oops, obama did it with his birth certificate. That will be a lot more believable.

I dont know why these people shoot themselves in the foot.
It's not that hard.

I believed in sadam's hideout pictures, seeing him being hanged etc. I believed in the pics of his dead sons.


If the white house strategy is to prevent muslims in the world to get angered by showing pics of OBL blasted head, it's a dumb move, cause anyway, muslims are always angered at everything that is not muslim.

Al Queda confirmed his death, his wife was there and has admitted she lived their with him.  You would never believe the photo was real even if you saw it, nothing will satisfy your untrustworthy thinking.

I think what Parker said about the USA being built on deception is very true - the CIA are known to be corrupt and do stage things and make cover ups..So with the history and dirty underhand tricks that the USA is built on of course people are going to question how legit things are - the outside world view america totaly diff to how americans view themselves - americans are brainwashed into beleiving what they do is always right and that they are the good guys when alot of the time the reverse is true - it happens when most americans gain there history knowledge from watching hollywood which is always twisted to make america and the jews to look like the good guy - which is wrong.

And this is the reason why people after 9/11 happened were asking, "Why do they hate us?"
We (the CIA and the goverment) create Boogiemen or people to use as a example of the opposite of Amrican morals, the "American Dream", ideology, ethos---kinda like manufactured patriotism, and the masses go along with it...had Pearl Harbor not happened (been allowed to happen by the government) the US entering into WWII would have been a hard sell...even Churchill couldn't sell Truman on the War

this is hard to define.

let's look at the gulf of tonken for example.

The US said one thing, the vietnamese said another thing.

Turns out, they were telling the truth and we had a "mid level mgmt mistake" about being attacked.  It led to a conflict that our leaders wanted, that lasted a long time with much cost in blood and trasure.

Papers declassified years later showed this.  Was there a 'conspiracy'?  well, we went to war over a lie.  People who said we were not attacked were called conspiracy theorists, as it directly went against what the govt said.

If the USA, in the 1960s, was willing to lie about something so big to get us into a war so big - it's not that crazy to look at today's events and question some things.  An entire war for a decade - built on a known lie.   Unbelievable, isn't it?

Right.  of course, there are nonsense ones that are along the lines of "aliens run secret govts" blah blah.

But history has shown us (usually 40 or 50 years later when documents are declassified) that quite a few wars start on lies.  The leaders want a war, but the people obviously aren't going to support that kind of sacrifice. 

So the leaders will manufacture an event that will allow for war.  Happened in 1898 Maine.  Happened in 1964 Vietnam.

If it can happen ONCE, then there's nothing wrong with looking at modern wars (and the events that precipiate them) and wonder if it's more manufactured bullshit.

Lots of people had specific warnings not to fly on the morning of 9/11....

Thank You, TA...this "mistake" or planned catastrophe became the running template to get us into wars---WWII, Vietnam, and 9/11...Americans are reluctant to want to get into wars outside of the US, regardless of how righteous it maybe, so to sell a War to the people, the government has to ignite and fan the flames of patriotism--with a hint of jingoism...served on a American flag plate...it's the tried and true recipe...and the added side dish of foreign culture/race/religion (japanese, Spanish, German, Muslim, North African, Middle Eastern, African).

Just like believing that everything is a conspiracy is ridiculous so is believing everything that you see on the news and what the media tells you. For example, yes we killed Bin laden, but how the fuck are you gonna tell me that it took us almost ten years to find him. If the US goverment really wanted to they could have gotten him within 12 months of 9/11 and that's being generous. But then again if we did that, the Iraq war would have been an impossible sell.

Some people really like to think they know something that somebody else doesn't.  It gives them a sense of superiority when in their life they feel powerless and inferior. I chalk it up to bad parenting.
This.

Just like believing that everything is a conspiracy is ridiculous so is believing everything that you see on the news and what the media tells you.

yep.  Some are true, some are not.  It's that simple.  Anyone who believes every single CT is an idiot.  Anyone who believes the official story the govt tells on everything is a total moron.


history shows that many CTs are truth, but we don't get that news for 50 years, when nobody cares.  We entered vietnam on a lie.  Northwoods was an approved false flag attack.  Govt documents prove it.  So we have proof that some CTs are real.

And some are silly.

why do some many people believe in this shit? :-\

Have you were ever part of a government coverup or conspiracy?  I would guess no to answer your question.  Once you have, you look at things being fed to you & wonder what's real & what isn't.  To me I look at it...what matters & what doesn't.  In the case of Bin Laden....I don't care if we're being lied to.  There's bigger things we will not be told & probably should not be told.

Kevin Levrone's muscle mass was considered a conspiracy among the bodybuilders of the 80s and 90's. They all knew that he was full of more escline then anyone on the planet. However, his body reacted very well to the agent and he pulled off the great deception.

There was also a conspiracy to hide homosexuality and steroid use in bodybuilding from the public. To this day it still goes on(Lee Priest is a prime example) One could also say the a lot of the "supplement" companies are conspiring against the public about what is really inside that tub of protein mix etc.

Maybe there is data out there that shows CT'ers have a low average IQ. ( didn't read the whole thread)

But there quite a few "smart" people or people who are in professions that are perceived to be filled with smart people that believe in CT's

I think it boils down to the principle that belief is more powerful than fact.
