Forget black helicopters, rainbows in the sprinkler is where it's at if you're into conspiracies.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.
Is defenestration possible through the overton window?

Nah, it's not goverment hiding in rainbow holograms, Jews, or the reptile folk in dark green helicopters dividing and fleecing us - it's those secretive little 'ol ladies operating under the cover of that Red Hat Society sipping their Brook Bond PG Tips. Their strawberry jam stained fingerprints are everywhere I tell you.

Well, I think you're at least partially right. It's well known the reptiloids and the Jewish world conspiracy have had a falling out. I mean, how can you circumcise a cloaca?   undecided

But seriously, I think (admittedly, I'm no shrink) these beliefs and conspiracy theories are a manifestation of a weak form of borderline personality disorder that arises in individuals that have a hard time coping in larger society.  Toss these same individuals from birth into a small baseline stone-age huter-gatherer family/tribe, and they'd be just fine. In the larger "modern" agrarian/city model, perhaps exacerbated by electronic mass media bringing in even more memes and people, the presence of too many other individuals and ideas diminishes their sense of self. They then have to build it back up by being one of the "chosen few" with knowledge of these grandiose conspiracies.

The real world is so threatening and complex as-is to them, they cope by creating a new reality that while even more threatening, (HAARP is going to kill almost all of us, and FEMA will throw the rest into concentration/breeding camps for the reptiloids to feed on us etc.) is one of their choosing.

As ususal AJ, your logic and observations are impeccable.

Hey can someone merge this thread with this one. http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=13998.0

And while I think AJ nailed it on the head.

I for one, welcome our new reptiloid overlords.   grin rolleyes

Bless the women and children who firm our hands.

Merge the two conspiracy threads, so we'll have two threads working together, just like Dick Cheney's shadow government is in league wtih The Family?  Sounds dangerous.

Nah, I was always the kid who'd poke the beehive with a stick.

I'd just blow all the grant money on a black suit and sunglasses, and a bunch of worthless prop electronics, a panel van, and a satellite dish. Then I'd go point it at those people's houses, and drive off real fast every time they saw me. Maybe do other stuff like scatter random zener diodes and microchips on their lawn at night too. Maybe fill a backpack bug-sprayer with plain water and spray random things in their neighborhood too.  grin

There's another conspiracy theory I saw that I'm laughing at. Paulian goldbugs.

Gold failed to go to $2000 an ounce as they claimed. In fact, it's correcting, it's now down to $870. Some of the "GOLD IS ONLY MONEY FIAT BLAH BLAH" Paulians who bought at $1000 or more are now claiming...

...that the Fed is manipulating gold prices. As if it's not a GLOBAL commodity.

They make me laugh. cheesy

Doesn't the idea of manipulation of gold prices conflict with the notion that gold is some kind of standard of absolute value?  Or not?

If your idiotic theory doesn't work, then go for moronic, if that doesn't cut then go for asnine.

There's a serious conspiracy theorist in my old neighborhood who especially paranoid about the ionosphere crap and all that.  He insisted that the only way to get the real truth is from ham radio, because it's the only comunication medium that isn't controlled and monitored by the government.  But once this HAARP thing goes online, you can kiss your ham radio goodbye. 

He completely blew a gasket once when the local utility company trimmed some branches away from the power lines, and accidentally knocked down one of his antennae.  That wasn't an accident, no sirree, it was Them trying to keep him from getting the real news out.

Well, I always wanted to mount a bunch of old microwave dishes on the utility poles outside his house, aimed at his bedroom and radio room, just to see what he'd do.

And, if that doesn't work, vote Democratic.

We never see 'it's THEM trying to control us with their science and stuff' around here. Nope. No 'they're all manipulating the journals and the peer-review and they're all in it together to control us'. Never seen that conspiracy touted around here.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

WHAT I REALY HATE ARE THE CIA ROBOTS DISGUIZED AS CATS AND DOGS AND SOMETIMES SQUIRRELLS. THEY USE THEM TO SPY ON ALL OF US. BUT WHEN I CUT THEM OPEN TO SHOW PEOPLE THEYRE MUST BE SOME KIND OF BACKUP BATTEREE AND A MIND RAY THAT JUST MAKES YOU SEE BLOOD AND GUTS AND STUFF SO NOBODY BELIEVES YOU. THE POLICE FINALY BELEIEVED ME ONE DAY I MUST HAVE GOTTEN ONE WITH A BAD BATTERY BACKUP. THEY SENT ME TO AN UNDERCOVER SCEINTIST WHO PRETNDS TO BE A PSYCHOLGIST WHO WOULD HELP.

IM WORRIED THAT THE PSYCHOLOLOGIST MIGHT BE A ROBOT TOO. I MIGHT HAVE TO CUT HER OPEN TO PROVE IT. I THINK ILL HID THE BODY IN MY ROOM UNTIL THE BACKUP MIND RAY RUNBS OUT OF POWER SO PEOPLE WILL SEE THE ROBOT PARTS AND BELIEVE ME. I HOPE THEY DONT COVER IT UP LIKE IN THE TERMINATOR AND GIVE THE ROBOT PARTS TO THE ROBOT COMPANY.  angry
