Anonymous Coward User ID: 1373 United States 04/27/2006 08:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You are right. There are conspiracies all over the place. What is hard to believe is conspiracies that have no hard evidence to support them, along with a bunch of ad hoc explanations about why there is no evidence. And always remember what Benjamin Franklin said: Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead. |

Matrix User ID: 84577 Australia 04/27/2006 09:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A conspiracy is a muli-leveled arrangement, where smoke and mirrors are used to get the sheople off the cent via red herrings and scandals. Even if the corruption is stopped for a while, those in power will go right back to their corrupt ways, so instead of trying to weed it out, sheople would rather let things go, and let the political and professional criminals use blackmail and turf wars to bring on the balance. The typical response from a sheople is "you can not do anything about it anyway, so why worry about it". Sheople are prepared to ignore the conspiracy in hope that it goes away; and as long as their life is not directly effected by it well, leave it up to those who's job it is to monitor those types of things. That is why mankind keeps getting sucked into needless wars for; the corruption just gets deeper and deeper, until a war occurs, and the dumb sheople then march off to war as good little patriot drones defending their way of (head in the sand) life against a enemy they were told to hate, instead of them getting to the bottom of things themselves, and finding out who their real enemies are. |

Old-fashioned Catholic User ID: 74339 United States 04/27/2006 11:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1) Any crime that requires the cooperation of two or more individuals is, by definition, a conspiracy. Since there are practical limits as to how much harm a lone individual can do, almost all of the greatest crimes in history were conspiracies, BY DEFINITION. 2) Occam's Razor suggests that for any crime, we investigate the simplest explanation first; and only if/when evidence rules that out should we go on to a more complicated one. Ironically, the simplest explanation for many crimes is that the 'victim' is also the perpetrator. Consider arson. Who has the most obvious motive, means, and opportunity to set a building ablaze? Its owner, of course! (Assuming he has fire insurance, or by some other means can foist the cost of demolition and/or reconstruction onto other parties.) That is why a good arson investigator will always check out the owner's alibi first. Similarly, whenever we see a crime so great that it significantly changes public attitudes and federal policy, the most OBVIOUS potential culprit is an element within government itself that desires just such changes, has the weapons to commit the crime, and the control over law enforcement to permit the crime to occur unhindered. Only if/when all relevant government elements have been exculpated should we investigate potential outsider criminals. |

Arch~Angel User ID: 11275 United States 04/27/2006 10:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The hardest things to admit are that you were wrong, the enemies were not who you hated, and that you were duped. In order to believe someone must abandon all foundation of their world. Its like coming out of the Matrix. Many simply can't do it. "It was not my intention to doubt that the doctrines of the Illuminati, and the principles of Jacobinism, had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more fully satisfied of this fact than I am." ~George Washington, 1782 |

Matrix User ID: 84577 Australia 04/28/2006 01:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most people are sheople, because they see the banks ripping them off with outrageous fee hikes and interest rate increases, the oil corporations raising prices for no reason and criminal sheople with good lawyers getting off lightly for doing horrible things, but their government just says we can do nothing about it while their coffers get loaded from all the the revenue from being part of the problem, not part of the solution. A political criminal just resigns from their job and that it seems that is punishment enough, but if you or I were to do what they do, we would be a lot worse off. Until sheople get off their asses and actually do something to restore justice, then the conspiracies will get bigger and bigger until, they are out on the streets begging for aid. There are conspiracies out there which have plenty of evidence, but sadly sheople are scared enacting change. Change only comes when the majority are under direct threat of losing their livelihood and their way of life, so all the criminal conspirators have to do is keep 1/2 the population happy, and they have go nothing to worry about. It is a conspiracy where the majority rule and the minority will suffer from the conspiracies until the conspiracies gets big enough to effect the majority, then the sheople will act. There is a safety in numbers, and when the numbers that are not safe are bigger then those who are safe, only then will the sheople then see the danger, and only then will they look for greener pastures. |
