“Conspiracy Theories”
You know what gets my conspiracy radar pinging? The phrase “conspiracy theory,” and the loaded meanings that the media have loaded on it.
Some things deserve conspiracy theories. I hope to explain some of those to you in the future. But do they deserve the name “conspiracy theories?” Of course not. The name itself evokes a raving madman, an Internet loser with nothing better to do than to come up with rediculous notions that make no sense at all.
But that’s not always the case. Why do they assign such negative connotations to the phrase “conspiracy theory?” Only to downplay any notion of conspiracies.
Conspiracies are all around us. The media plays a huge role in most of them. It’s clearly in their best interest to make anyone who talks about them sound like an idiot.
It started back in 1962, when CBS planted subliminal messages in their television broadcasts that trained Americans to think of conspiracy theories as being tools of the Communists.
That continues to this day. Ask 100 random people on the street what they think of when they hear that cursed phrase, and 91 of them will say “those whacky Communists.”
I rest my case. The media has poisoned the phrase so they can try to get away with the biggest conspiracies of them all.
I will not be deterred. We will uncover the truth. Get your shovels, because there’s much digging to do!
