Unashamedly the bulk of today's blog encompasses a number of exchanges I shared on Facebook with a good friend of mine today. Some would call him a conspiracy theorist, he has strong beliefs regarding 9/11, The New World Order, chemtrails, flouride in the water supply, blue beam, HAARP, MMR jabs, vaccinations and pretty much any of the issues that are debated at length on the internet and increasingly on lightweight investigative TV shows where the surface is barely scratched. (Whatever happened to investigative journalism?)
He is intelligent, well researched, opinionated, articulate and willing to listen to counter arguments or opinions, so why are so many people like this dismissed as crackpots?
I am in partial agreement with some of these ideas, admittedly not to the same extent as him, but enough for us to understand each other and have a balanced debate. However there are some people who automatically attach every single bad event in the world to some mythical 'THEY' that control every single action, this is where their credibility takes a bashing and causes issues for intelligent 'questioners' as I like to call them.
There is a great deal of compelling evidence that points to an overall ruling class/club that manipulates politics and economic situations for overall gain, call them elitists, the new world order, Rothschild, Freemasons etc etc..Profiteering from conflict and unrest is nothing new, just maybe the scale and intricacy of the manipulation.
I don't believe in the whole 9/11 conspiracy but would certainly agree that many behaviours of politicians and intelligence services leading upto and following the tragic events show that not everything was done to comprehensively prevent the attacks and provided a convenient platform for the invasions that followed.
Also as with all these theories and conjectures it is simply not possible to cover up every one of these so called new world order activities or conspiracies, it is human nature to share a secret and you cannot perpetuate such a massive pulling of wool over the eyes without scores of casualties amongst whistleblowers.
This all makes a great novel but these arguments will not hold water until people get a balance and produce a rational and balanced point of view regarding some of these undoubted truths that are lost in the mire of misinformation and conjecture.
I welcome the questioners and the debates they provoke, I firmly believe that the more we ask and challenge the better our society will be, but extremism has no part in this and people like my friend are the victims of extremists who believe in every theory and refuse to even listen to a counter argument or a logical explanation. This is when every questioner gets labelled a conspiracy theorist, crackpot or UFO chaser.
Don't dismiss everything you hear by questioners as crap or become a sheep that takes everything corporate journalism throws at you as right, somewhere in the middle is the truth.
