Why Are Conspiracy Theories so Popular These Days?

[Loren78]

We know that all culture is promoted from the Top-Down...Not the Bottom Up...Its a Pyramid Structure....and there are different levels of knowledge to be found within each level of the Pyramid...We are slaves to an upper class which have always lived off the backs of the Middle and Lower Classes...The goal of any Slave Handler is ensure his slaves never revolt. This can only be done by keeping them ignorant of the fact that they are slaves...because a slave things of nothing else but his or her freedom...So Knowledge is indeed a most prized possession...

Money isn't power...Its knowledge. Who possesses it and how they choose to use it against the Profane who do not have it is what the game is really about. The Knowledge of how to use money as a weapon against the public was in existence long before currency became the norm....

So if knowledge is power...and culture is promoted from the top...Why then do the modern day priesthoods who horde over the public choose to give us so many "conspiracy theories" about the illegal activities of the government...and or the oligarchs and Elite families which hide behind this bureaucracy....??

Counter Intelligence....maybe? The best defense is a good offense? The Truth as the say has a funny way of coming out...If we are indeed living in a feudal system disguised to appear like a real democracy...It would then make sense to assume that sooner or later, the truth would come out about why we live the way we live...with 10 percent of the population controlling 90 percent of the wealth....

Want to know why conspiracy theories are rampant these days? Its because somebody doesn't want you to know the truth...whether its related to science, history, medicine, politics, religion, or Space and the Universe itself....Keeping people guessing and ignorant is the key to maintaining power...

So to circumvent the possibility that Truth would one day rise...which it has (if you know where to look for it) Theoretical possibilities have been pushed by the establishment as a way of muddying the waters so to speak...

So you see...there wouldn't be so many theories running around if there wasn't something they were trying to hide....the question is what?

I get to use this twice in one day

Fallacy: Begging the Question ​

<hr> Also Known as: Circular Reasoning, Reasoning in a Circle, Petitio Principii.
Description of Begging the Question

Begging the Question is a fallacy in which the premises include the claim that the conclusion is true or (directly or indirectly) assume that the conclusion is true. This sort of "reasoning" typically has the following form.

1. 
   [*]Premises in which the truth of the conclusion is claimed or the truth of the conclusion is assumed (either directly or indirectly).
   [*]Claim C (the conclusion) is true.

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because simply assuming that the conclusion is true (directly or indirectly) in the premises does not constitute evidence for that conclusion. Obviously, simply assuming a claim is true does not serve as evidence for that claim. This is especially clear in particularly blatant cases: "X is true. The evidence for this claim is that X is true."
Some cases of question begging are fairly blatant, while others can be extremely subtle.

popular? I guess in a few,a very few, circles.


I haven't met one in real life yet.

Of course, one of life's all time biggest mysteries

 

[eek.]

 

[meltdown]

Because there are enough gullible people who's lives are so empty and boring that they fantasize scenarios in which complex problems/events can be explained with simplistic plots perpetuated by the govt. Plus the authors make a lot of money stirring up this hysteria.

 

[Dilrod]

Because anyone that isn't brain-dead can easily go to youtube, type in "building 7" and see that there's more to the 9/11 story than the simple fairy tale sold to the simple-minded morons.

Do you believe that you are much more intelligent than all of these "gullible people who's lives are so empty?" Have you met all of these people? Why would these kinds of people risk the emberassment and ridicule that comes with believing any of these theories if there wasn't any truth to them? Where is the personal gain? Why would Eisenhower and Kennedy risk their own reputations, their place in history, and perhaps even their very lives to warn the public about a "Conspiracy"...

If Culture is promoted from the Top-Down....These "theories" are not being peddled by the public...they are being engineered and fed to the masses by the Establishment...who possess the means and resources necessary to reach such a large contingent of people...

You must ask yourself where you saw your first picture of big foot, your first UFO, your first Elvis is alive story....and then ask yourself why this information was given to the public. Surely this was done for reasons that have nothing to do with money....

Imagine having the ability to shape culture..to literally manipulate human behavior and thought. If you had that ability, would you use it? If you possessed that kind of power would you abuse it? Surely the reason why someone would undertake such an endeavour have very little to do with money but more to do with CONTROL.....

What the eyes see, and the ears hear, the mind believes.....

So really then, in all likely hood, isn't this really about Thought Control and not money...Isn't the goal of very Master, the absolute control of his slaves...?

there is some truth to most "conspiracies"

"they" just tend to kookify it enough so people that rebel against the mainstream way of thinking look like psychotic morons

as with most things

"they" like to create divergence and two groups so they fight and bicker amongst one another

rather than have a rational compromise somewhere in the middle where the "truth" lies

to join forces to go after "TPTB"

The Dialectic ? But Why? Why create the Sci-fi Culture (Star Wars) only to turn around and have Jay leno ridicule those of which belong to it....

Why push so many theories, many of which are peddled by mainstream Corporate media outlets...only to turn around and ridicule those who engage in critical discussion of those very theories?

There must be a reason....

 

[tiznow]

to keep the people at the bottom of the pyramid occupied and arguing amongst themselves

rather than directing their attention as a group to the top of the pyramid

There's a reason that the same people that made money on 9/11, made money on things like JFK, moonlanding, pearl harbor, and any number of any conspiracy theories. Sometimes bad shit happens. Most people don't need an elaborate plot to explain away these events. It's all about making money on the paranoid.

And for you people out there who believe the Rise in Conspiracy Theories is about Money...My questions to you would be....

Who Introduced Money?

And Why Was It Introduced?

Who has benefited more from the introduction of Currency. The people who introduced money or the people who have become slaves to it?
