Conspiracy Theory

- In the United States “conspiracy theory” is
the name given to explanations that differ from
those that serve the ruling oligarchy, the
establishment or whatever we want to call those
who set and control the agendas and the
explanations that support the agendas.
The
explanations imposed on us by the ruling class
are themselves conspiracy theories. Moreover,
they are conspiracy theories designed to hide
the real conspiracy that our rulers are
operating.
For
example, the official explanation of 9/11 is a
conspiracy theory. Some Muslims, mainly Saudi
Arabians, delivered the greatest humiliation to
a superpower since David slew Goliath. They
outsmarted all 17 US intelligence agencies and
those of NATO and Israel, the National Security
Council, the Transportation Safety
Administration, Air Traffic Control, and Dick
Cheney, hijacked four US airliners on one
morning, brought down three World Trade Center
skyscrapers, destroyed that part of the Pentagon
where research was underway into the missing
$2.3 trillion, and caused the morons in
Washington to blame Afghanistan instead of Saudi
Arabia.
Clearly, the Saudia Arabians who humiliated
Ameria were involved in a conspiracy to do so.
Is it a
believable conspiracy?
The
ability of a few young Muslim men to pull off
such a feat is unbelievable. Such total failure
of the US National Security State means that
America was blindly vulnerable throughout the
decades of Cold War with the Soviet Union. If
such total failure of the National Security
State had really occurred, the White House and
Congress would have been screaming for an
investigation. People would have been held
accountable for the long chain of security
failures that allowed the plot to succeed.
Instead, no one was even reprimanded, and the
White House resisted all efforts for an
investigation for a year. Finally, to shut up
the 9/11 families, a 9/11 Commission was
convened. The commission duly wrote down the
government’s story and that was the
“investigation.”
Moreover, there is no evidence to support the
official conspiracy theory of 9/11. Indeed, all
known evidence contradicts the official
conspiracy theory.
For
example, it is a proven fact that Building 7
came down at freefall acceleration, which means
it was wired for demolition. Why was it wired
for demolition? There is no official answer to
this question.
It is
the known evidence provided by scientists,
architects, engineers, pilots, and the first
responders who were in the twin towers and
personally experienced the numerous explosions
that brought down the towers that is described
as a conspiracy theory.
The CIA
introduced the term “conspiracy theory” into
public discourse as part of its action plan to
discredit skeptics of the Warren Commission
report on the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy. Any explanation other than the one
handed down, which is contradicted by all known
evidence, was debunked as a conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theories are the backbone of US
foreign policy. For example, the George W. Bush
regime was active in a conspiracy against Iraq
and Saddam Hussein. The Bush regime created fake
evidence of Iraqi “weapons of mass destruction,”
sold the false story to a gullible world and
used it to destroy Iraq and murder its leader.
Similarly, Gaddafi was a victim of an
Obama/Hillary conspiracy to destroy Libya and
murder Gaddafi. Assad of Syria and Iran were
slated for the same treatment until the Russians
intervened.
Currently, Washington is engaged in conspiracies
against Russia, China, and Venezuela.
Proclaiming a non-existent “Iranian threat,”
Washington put US missiles on Russia’s border
and used the “North Korean threat” to put
missiles on China’s border. The democratically
elected leader of Venezuela is said by
Washington to be a dictator, and sanctions have
been put on Venezuela to help the small Spanish
elite through whom Washington has traditionally
ruled South American countries pull off a coup
and reestablish US control over Venezuela.
Everyone is a threat: Venezuela, Yemen, Syria,
Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, tribes in Pakistan,
Libya, Russia, China, North Korea, but never
Washington. The greatest conspiracy theory of
our time is that Americans are surrounded by
foreign threats. We are not even safe from
Venezuela.
The New
York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, NPR, and
the rest of the presstitutes are quick to debunk
as conspiracy theories all explanations that
differ from the explanations of the ruling
interests that the presstitutes serve.

Yet, as
I write and for some nine months to date, the
presstitute media has itself been promoting the
conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was involved
in a conspiracy with the president of Russia and
Russian intelligence services to hack the US
presidential election and place Trump, a Russian
agent, in the White House.
This
conspiracy theory has no evidence whatsoever. It
doesn’t need evidence, because it serves the
interests of the military/security complex, the
Democratic Party, the neoconservatives, and
permits the presstitutes to show lavish devotion
to their masters. By endless repetition a lie
becomes truth.
There
is a conspiracy, and it is against the American
people. Their jobs have been offshored in order
to enrich the already rich. They have been
forced into debt in a futile effort to maintain
their living standards. Their effort to stem
their decline by electing a president who spoke
for them is being subverted before their eyes by
an utterly corrupt media and ruling class.
Sooner
or later it will dawn on them that there is
nothing they can do but violently revolt. Most
likely, by the time they reach this conclusion
it will be too late. Americans are very slow to
escape from the false reality in which they
live. Americans are a thoroughly brainwashed
people who hold tightly to their false life
within The Matrix.
For the
gullible and naive who have been brainwashed
into believing that any explanation that differs
from the officially-blessed one is a conspiracy
theory, there are available online long lists of
government conspiracies that succeeded in
deceiving the people in order that the
governments could achieve agendas that the
people would have rejected.
If
liberty continues to exist on earth, it will not
be in the Western world. It will be in Russia
and China, countries that emerged out of the
opposite and know the value of liberty, and it
will be in those South American countries, such
as Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia that fight
for their sovereignty against American
oppression.
Indeed,
as historians unconcerned with their careers are
beginning to write, the primary lesson in
history is that governments deceive their
peoples.
Everywhere in the Western world, government is a
conspiracy against the people.
