Conspiracy theories?
May 23, 2015 at 12:37 am
Guys, I'd love to get people's opinions on the myriad of youtube clips pertaining to illuminati symbolism, (also in music).
Is any of it true? Bilderberg, NWO, David Rockefeller, Federal Reserve Bank!
Surely, none of these people and organisations are doing anything wrong by us, are they? 
I can see how people can get "indoctrinated" by these types of clips.
I like both my feet firmly planted in reality! (whatever the fuck even means anymore!)
is this all just as much woo as religion?

If it's a conspiracy theory, what need do we have of it?

Conspiracy theories are nothing but a plot of the government to keep us occupied while they slowly swich us out for replicants.

Conspiracy theorists are basically useless, they're much more interested in the imaginary Hollywood style plots like secret death camps under the Earth's crust, governments creating natural disasters, shape-shifting lizard people etc.
The real conspiracies are much more mundane and less amygdala-tickling, they seem to have nothing to say on things like that

“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin

Youtube is notorious for videos being taken down for having a piece of copyrighted music, or a couple of minutes from Star Trek or whatever. Is it likely that governments and secret world organisations are going to leave up videos exposing their grand conspiracies, and let these brave whistle-blowers carry on making them without something unfortunate happening to them?
Unless they're working a double double double bluff...

I would be surprised if Google/Youtube isn't one of their tools, anyway. (I mean, if they existed!)

Governments are typically pretty good at keeping secrets (the estimable Mr Snowden notwithstanding). If there were conspiracies involving the Illuminati, we likely wouldn't even know the name 'Illuminati'. Since we do, there aren't.

Conspiracy theories are great, because they are self-contained, when it comes to evidence. Any and every piece of evidence against the conspiracy can be easily dismissed as a fabrication, committed by the conspiracy. Lack of concrete evidence for the conspiracy can be equally easy explained by - you guessed it - the conspiracy cover-up. You can't lose - and there's no need for rational thinking at all. All you need is a childish belief, that governments are magical and thousands of people involved never run their mouths, or make mistakes...

I recall someone once humorously claiming to be part of the grand global conspiracy and his job was controlling the price of zinc.
Which leads me to wonder if there really was such a conspiracy how it would/could work. For instance, what ever group is in charge will need a bureaucracy to research possible courses of action, the consequences of that action, and implementation of that action should it be deemed necessary to implement.
Let's say the 'cabal' decides after careful study that it furthers their ultimate goal(s) if the people of Franklin, Texas have a 4% increase in the level of fluoridation in their water, however, the study revealed there is an otherwise inert contaminate in the local water supply that neutralizes the desirable effects of the fluoride. A special line of 5 Hour Energy is made just for sale in Franklin, but the plan is stymied when the special 5 Hour Energy is accidentally sent to Glendive, Montana by an unavoidable random computer error. An emergency session of the 'cabal' is called to weigh alternatives in correcting the issue, and they order another study to see if perhaps shipments of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter could be modified with the extra fluoride. Well, the study finds that there are 2 problems to that, the fluoride throws off the taste of the margarine, and the interaction of the Chem-trail project with the locals having a net decrease in margarine consumption will require a special modification to the Chem-trail program in that area . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
