The Conspiracy Scam
Designed to divert your attention while they rip you off
One of the best ways for the looters (liberals) to divert our attention as they steal our money and property while taking over all our rights little by little is to actively push the idea of a "massive conspiracy" that is responsible for everything that's wrong in the world today. The "elite liberals" (who are running things for the most part) and the "believers" (those who have "bought" the lies of the elites) ridicule the whole idea "above the table" while the elites promote it from beneath. This way, conservatives who buy the "single conspiracy" theory play right into their hands as they argue about the existence or non-existence of a "massive conspiracy."Conspiracy theorists insist that there is a single, massive conspiracy operating to take away your rights and create a "world government" with probably the United Nations as the governing agent. And if you disagree with this dogma, in any way, they "write you off" as someone who either "just doesn't understand the problem" and is therefore suspect, or has "sold out," and are to be ignored or counted as "the enemy."
NO CONSPIRACY Of course, one of the things any such conspiracy must do is to convince everybody that there is no conspiracy. They do this by ridiculing anybody who even suggests such a thing and relegating such people to the "lunatic fringe." This, they seem to have done very well if there is such a single conspiracy.
But the existence of conspiracies to take power and overthrow governments are as old as government itself. So I must say frankly that I just don't know whether or not there is one massive conspiracy or many.
WITH US OR AGAINST US The conspiracy theorists figure that if you don't agree with every facet of their beliefs, you've got to be one of the enemy. This sounds more like a religion than a dogma, because you're supposed to take what they say on faith. They certainly haven't proven it to my satisfaction.
PHILOSOPHY, NOT CONSPIRACY My feeling is that such a massive conspiracy would be impossible to maintain, especially over the number of years such a conspiracy has been suspected. It would require a secrecy that could not possibly be maintained among the number of people that must be involved in such a conspiracy. Such a conspiracy would also involve periodic "power struggles" and the "fallout" would reveal the conspiracy.
So a better explanation of why we seem to be inexorably moving toward socialism has to be that there is not a single conspiracy, but many conspiracies, fueled by a philosophy.
This would also explain why, even if there are many conspiracies rather than just one, (all of which seem to be moving us in the same direction), so many of the same people are involved in several of these conspiracies. The list of names that has been published of people in government and business who are members of the Council on Foreign Relations and of the Trilateral Commission (both of which are pushing for "one-world," socialist government) would seem to the uninitiated to be ample proof that there is a single conspiracy.
But it could also be proof that lots of people who have been brought up to believe in (forced) altruism and socialism as ideals tend to join many such groups if they feel that the group will help them push their agenda.
GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE YOUNG It's a known fact that our children have been taught for years--from the earlist age--that (forced) altruism is good, and socialism is an "ideal" form of government. This has been so ever since the federal government took over the schools and the entire educational system while creating the National Education Association, a "teacher's union" that is unashamedly altruistic and socialistic. To prove this to yourself, you have only to examine the books your children bring home.
This will tend to create entire generations of altruists and socialists--and would add to the illusion that there is but one conspiracy. But still, a philosophy, leading to many smaller conspiracies that may look similar and which work together well is a much better explanation.
PLAYING INTO THEIR HANDS But while we're arguing about whether or not there is one massive conspiracy or any number of smaller conspiracies working for similar goals, they're making continuous progress toward their goals while we're losing our freedoms faster and faster every day. While we fight amongst ourselves about an unimportant difference, they're slowly taking away one right after another, raping the Constitution, ripping off our property, killing us if we resist, and making us look foolish.
IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER! It just isn't important to determine whether or not there is one massive conspiracy or many with similar goals. As Dave Rowan aptly pointed out in a recent "United We Stand" report, it just doesn't matter because the remedy in both cases is the same:
INVESTIGATION AND EXPOSURE The remedy, whether it is one conspiracy or many is to investigate what they're doing and expose it to as many people as you can. This is the only way we're going to win against these people who want what belongs to us. We must learn all we can about what they're doing, what methods they use to do it, and how we can stop them. It is only in this manner, telling as many people as we can, one at a time if necessary, that they're being ripped off, how it is being done, and by whom, with proof shown, that we can remove this threat. It just doesn't matter if it's one or a thousand conspiracies.
