Evesig, haus and othes: The stuff about the Lutherans is all a cover, don’t you see? A clever, clever cover. I know this goes I stayed up all last night enumerating the gematria of Lutheran - it totals 326, the same number as “bottom” and “swastika” – if we follow this chain of symbolism together, what do you get – yes, the “Lutheran” thing is a ruse, as indicated by Nietchze pulling a moonie at us. Yes, he’s showing us his ass, his big jewish nazi ass!! I can see those moon white ayran buttcheeks clear as day from where I’m sting
Anyway…. moving swiftly on, I’m going to summarise the essay I linked to above because I feel it might provide a bit of clarity here. The author’s basic thesis is that yes, conspiracies happen. To paraphrase “limited conspiratorial activities are a regular feature of politics” (and business, I might add). Note word “limited” there – it’s important. It seems to me totally understandable (if not always justifiable) that small groups will form in any given situation who will work to their own agendas, from insider dealing on the stock exchange to the backstabbing that goes on around leadership contests in political parties. However, where conspiracy theorists seems to lose the plot is that they then generalise upwards, from the evidence of these occurrences to form grand theories of history – meta-conspiracies, to coin a phrase.
To take an example, do I believe a small group of conservatives around George Bush cheated in the presidential elections? Yeah, pretty much. It doesn’t seem unbelievable and there’s a lot of information on record (see Greg Palast’s work on the subject). Do I believe that the same group of people are actually latest representatives of a sinster group who’ve been controlling the fate of the human race us for all of recorded history? No. It’s implausible in the extreme and doesn’t square with the complexity of the world and most importantly there’s no fucking credible evidence. To sum up, small conspiracies – fact of life. Meta-conspiracies – in a word, bollocks. Don’t waste your bloody time.
I think we’ve got an obvious example in raelianautopsy’s statement above:
There is enough circumstantial evidence to show that something is 'running' the world behind the scenes. You need only turn on the TV and see that the government is lying to you.
Why does the observation that politicians are corrupt and lie ergo lead to the truth that that the world is “controlled”? If you think of the influences and pressure every politician is subject to – party funding, business sponsorship, in-party “whips” and all the other groups they have to negoiate between - it’s no wonder that they are sometimes economical with the truth. I don’t see how or why this leads to the shadowy controllers or the New World Order. |
