Poll question: Is there a conspiracy to fill DU threads with conspiracies?
Give your best answer if it isn't included here.

But be careful, code words are being watched for by black helicopter internets screeners.

4. Big deal
What's the big deal about conspiracies, anyway?

People conspire. It's just that we don't get to know for sure until after someone spills the beans.

Conspiracies are like ghosts or UFOs. There's something to all of them, but nothing very exciting. The buzz is in the mystery.

Now, working to get King George impeached ... that's exciting!

--p!

6. I took this one to a higher power:
I asked the "Virtual Magic 8-ball"
over at: http://www.superlaugh.com/1/8ball.htm

It said "yes".

8. Look at it as a phenomenon...
... and think about what's been in the news lately. What's dominated here in that regard? The government's been exhibiting excessive secrecy about spying on US citizens and lying and spinning about it--once again.

People of all stripes want to see patterns in things--it's part of how our brains are wired. Some people see connections where none exist. The upsurge is likely due to yet more evidence that the government has not been truthful with the public. That encourages speculation, of both the rational and irrational varieties.

Cheers.

10. What's a "conspiracy?"
They say a true conspiracy can't be proven.

I don't see many things on DU that can't be proven.

13. Conspiracies with this Administration are the norm these days.
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 02:41 AM by shance
Who are we kidding?

And why would we be trying to kid anyone?

The truth, the necessary questions, and the facts are what will set us free from the bondage we are now living.

That is, if we have the courage and the commitment to this country that has given us so much.

The truth will empower us.

Not being an ostrich.

Last time I checked the eagle was our National bird.

So, America, are we just all hollow talk or are we what really we claim to be?

That is the question.

That is the test of America now.

What are we made of? What are we willing to face as a nation?

Our courage to face the truth will determine our future.

14. The conspiricies are standard operating proceedure for Bushco.
I am tired of truthseekers being dissed, only to later be proven right.Most of them have more credibility than the NYT.

21. Back in the sixties people had a lot of paranoid complaints.
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 04:05 AM by petgoat
Come the seventies and COINTELPRO was outed and all the complaints were
validated--and more!

Of course your actual mileage might vary, depending on who's on your email
list and where you're operating.

If we demanded that Shakespeare eschew conspiracies, we'd have to throw out
all his plays!

28. Any day! There is a BIG conspiracy against our basic freedoms
and we should not be silenced by silly slogans and derogatory lables.

29. It's not a conspiracy. It's a movement.
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 12:05 PM by librechik
That's why there's so many and they all seem connected.

But it's hard to demonstrate the connection(well enough to convince a paleocon, at least--I'm convinced!)

24. It's tv.
Television has created a mental state that frequently lacks the capacity to distinguish between what is real and what is fantasy, and a significant percentage of the population mixes the two. For a more detailed explanation, read Chapters 5 & 6 of Jerry Mander's "In the Absence of the Sacred." These two chapters, which contain much of the same information found in Mander's "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television," address topics from the "acceleration of the nervous system" to "perceptual speedup and confusion" to "the televison presidency."

Are you guys conspiring to make us tinfoil hatters look bad?

I guess next you'll try to tell me there never really was a Project X and I'll not believe you.

EDIT PS: I think your poll has been freeped by plotting trolls! :tinfoilhat:
