Here's my new tinfoil hat.
Is there a conspiracy to come up with lame conspiracy theories to cover up real conspiracies?

2. Such as "no plane hit the Pentagon"? Yes, I think there is.

3. lol
Yes. Sometimes it's called 'counterintelligence' or 'dirty tricks'.

4. A fine helm
I like the nose guard particularly.
That will keep the Zed Rays out.
If I but had the skill I would craft a tin foil Morion (Conquistaror Helm).

6. It's called misinformation
and I think it may be part of the reason the Bohemian Grover types open their big summer party with that weird satanic ritual thing with the owl and the sacrifice and all, so when folks go around trying to tell people about it, it just sounds like goofy paranoid BS and everyone is so busy focusing on the obsurdity of it all that they don't really look at some of the disturbingly sociopathic speeches that have been given there by very prominent public figures along with some of the other wildly inappropriate behavior.

also, I think everyone is their own conspiracy theorist, some of us aren't that good at it and give it a bad name.

but I think talking about possible conspiracies is a big part of maintaining a democracy, the rich are always getting together behind closed to doors to talk about a better way to fleece the public and we need to be vigilent. I will never allow anyone to make me feel silly for discussing openly any conspiracy theories about corporations or banks or politicians.

8. IMO almost all conspiracy theories have an element of truth, some more, some less. And some
Edited on Mon May-31-10 05:59 AM by RKP5637
are, of course, disinformation to ridicule truths into absurd conspiracy theories, the best cover up.

And IMO some of the things held as dire truths in society sound to me like grandiose conspiracy theories. And Americans gobble up misinformation at an alarming rate, so gullible, many not even remotely checking easily ascertained facts.

9. And potentially monitoring everything you do/say on DU someplace out there by your
IP and DU login name. Not saying DU, but someplace out there in netland if wanted...
