The Zionists don’t want to destroy the world, just control it.
For God’s sake, do you people even read the memos?
My gosh - it all fits! How could I have been so blind!

Some people!
How obvious can you get? I mean even his name, CECIL ADAMS is a perfect anagram of MESCAL ACID, coincidence? I think not!!!
now where is my tin foil hat…
The earliest documented conspiracy theory. Perhaps the defacement of the sacred statues in Athens as described by Thucydides in the fifth century BC. Nobody ever found out who was really behind it or why.
A random site:
Theories akin the the “Hitchhikers Guide” theory that we’re all slaves inside a large calculator from an alien race. “Matrix” has a similar type theory.
Many de-population theories.
Many human slavery theories.
Some of the modern ones that have strong arguments (because conspiracy theories are rooted in non-transparency – or rather they are evidence that non-transparency exists with respect to phenomenon that has outcomes people disagree with)…
In American elections, the votes cast for any govenment elective office have not been counted in 50 years.
In media, all media on every channel is a product of the Pentagon / DoD.
The entire curriculum in schools and universities with respect to politics and philosophy is written in the Pentagon / DoD.
Message boards and chat rooms are run by and/or populated with full-time counter-intelligence staff, that are paid to make sure that only certain philosophies or ideas recieve merit (channel admins might not even know).
Child prostitution or sexual slavery is practiced by everyone in power. Every famous actress or model is a part of or has been a part of a harem from the elite for substantial periods. Abortion is only argued because the elite seek a new crop of sexual slaves.
People are being sprayed with chemicals from planes in the sky.
Telephone soliciting and spam all come from the Pentagon as a psychological warfare program against the population to take up cognitive space so as to distract them and make them yeild and more malleable to authoritative conditions.
Saddam is not in trouble, never has been. Bin Laden is not in trouble, never has been. WTC crashes were little more than a 4 trillion dollar bank robbery from elites… combined with media propoganda, allowed them to siphon substantial salary reductions, massive unemployment and entire treasury tax cuts to themselves and massive inflation without a peep.
What about a CNN & USA Today poll that found that 34% of journalists identify themselves as “liberal”, compared to only 7% that identify as “conservative”?
I guess Rush Limbaugh is one of the 54% claiming to be a moderate, eh? Or maybe they just don’t consider him a journalist (hey, I wouldn’t).
Take it for what it’s worth. Polls are fickle things. I DO know that the primary impetus of the supposed “conspiracy theory” (sorry, Rjung, but few people consider it “organized”, despite your distortion of things) depends on how you define “liberal”… because certainly media outlets are going to try to push the envelope in an effort to increase ratings, and by that standard alone can be considered “liberal”.
If you want to find out about the many conspiracy theories on the web, go here.
Ye gods, couldn’t you find a cite from someone other than the Free Republic? That’s like asking OJ Simpson if he thinks Ron Brown is an asshole or not.
But let’s pretend that report is valid as presented; that still means you’ve got 34% of journalists who identify themselves as “liberal,” 7% who identify themselves as “conservative,” and a majority 59% who identify themselves as neither. 59% > 34%, which blows the “liberal bias” charges out of the water.
And just for giggles, I’ll refer you to the November 2, 2000 issue of Editor & Publisher magazine, more than twice as newspapers endorsed Bush over Gore for the 2000 Presidential Election. Considering that the editors and publishers are the ones who have final say over what gets printed, their overwhelming conservative bias clearly trumps whatever bias an individual journalist might have.
Not good enough? How about a meta-analysis of 59 quantitative studies of media bias, by the Journal of Communication. Their result? “On the whole, no significant biases were found for the newspaper industry. Biases in newsmagazines were virtually zero as well.”
How about one more? After reading Bernie Goldberg accuse the print media of identifying conservatives but not liberals by those terms, linguist Geoffrey Nunberg cranked up the Lexis/Nexis news database to see if Goldberg was right. Surprise, surprise – Goldberg was dead wrong; liberal members of Congress were more likely to be identified as “liberal” than conservative members of Congress were to be identified as “conservative.”
Jesus H. Christ, if there really was a thing as a liberal media, out to grind Republicans into the dirt (or just do their job and report the news), Michael Moore wouldn’t have had to produce Fahrenheit 9/11. But in closing, I offer this quote:
I’m confused by this. Could you clarify, please? Do you mean that, for instance, because the guy I voted for didn’t get elected, there must be a conspiracy? Or that my vote disappeared into a tally of tens of millions of other votes? Or perhaps because there isn’t often a direct cause-and-effect relationship, one makes up a conspiracy theory to fill in for missing information about a system or bureaucracy?
Vlad/Igor
The latter. The point is that the person is trying to infuse a cause and effect relationship, attempting to take responsibility for it by inserting an intent into it. Whether or not the ACTUAL idea is occurring, with respect to the hypothetical conspiracy… what makes conspiracies work, is first and foremost, that there is undeniable evidence of non-transparency. What makes them grow stronger is when solutions are offered and ignored, or even moreso, when the non-transparency is denied. This is “crazy-making” behavior for the mind that’s projecting cause and effect upon the instance. Part of existing is taking responsibility for comprehending cause and effect. To dismiss that there are cause and effect operations occurring for one instance that intentonal beings use an indicators of purpose (like voting), it begins to raise questions about cause and effect in general. To raise questions about general cause and effect has severe consequences in the sense that, “Well, what’s the point of intending to ingest certain substances at certain intervals to attempt to survive?” etc…
Conspiracy theories are first and foremost, about making intent accountable to the belief that it in fact intending something… that it exists. That there is something validating this idea. In the sense that it moves to preserve the ability to continue having an intent, it is a mechanism used by intentional being for survival. What aggrivates the intentional state, is when others deny the intent circumvention (that formulates the conspiracy theory) because they believe that the non-transparency is helping them to survive – so much so, they’ll even deny that the non-transparency exists. The isolated intentional being will take this as those beings intentionally committing suicide and also working to murder the intentional being – issues of mortality arise, and also issues of whether or not the beings denying the impact of non-transparency with respect to survival of intent are actually intentional beings… or if it is more likely that they aren’t aware that they exist.
One conspiracy theory that has fueled an entire industry is that the American Medical Association and pharmaceutical company discredit most homeopathic remedies because they cannot profit from them. This, in turn, is supposed to make homeopathic remedies more legitimate and enticing because these manufacturers can claim that their products work even thought they cannot be scientifically proven.
Colloidal silver is one example of a homeopathic product that has been supposedly ignored by the medical community. Topical colloidal silver is used to treat topical burns in the medical community. Some retailers of this form of silver claim that their product will cure a multitude of remedies including cancer, MS, bacterial infections with no side effects. Conspiracists claim that the AMA does not recognize Colloidal Silver as a “wonder drug” because it is not patentable and they cannot make money off it.
Colloidal silver was used in the early 20th century for a certain ailments. Doctors stopped using it once antibiotics were invented. Colloidal silver was never proven by scientific community to be effective at helping anything but topical burns. The FDA passed a bill in in the late 1990’s that stopped the manufacturers of colloidal silver on other homeopathic remedies from claiming that there product can be used for medicinal treatments. Colloidal silver must now be listed as a food supplement.
A big problem with homeopathic remedies is that there are no standards of dosage from one manufacturer to another. These products do not go through the same stringent testing as mainstream medicine. On the plus side, many homeopathic remedies are so diluted that they don’t particularly help or hurt you. A major side effect of extreme doses of colloidal silver is agraria. That’s an ailment that turns the users skin bluish gray permanently. This is extremely rare, but it’s a side effect none the less.

I know some people who believe it. Or say that they do.
I like the conspiracy theory about Churchill having prior knowledge of the Pearl Harbour attack but keeping the knowledge from the USA so they would be dragged into the war.
