"You sound like a conspiracy theorist."
RESPONSE:
"Conspiracy
Theorist? Now tell me the truth, where did you hear that
term...on TV? (Laugh.) ...So let me get this straight. Are you
saying that men in high positions of power are not capable of
criminal activity and telling lies to the general public? Are
you really that naive?" (Laugh as you say this.)
.
"I'm
not saying that governments don't lie, but a conspiracy like
that would have to involve 100's of people. You can't hide something
like that."
RESPONSE: "You're absolutely right. I agree with you 100%. It is impossible to totally
cover up a conspiracy so massive. That's why I know about it! What you must understand is that they don't
have to cover it up totally. Even a bucket that has
a few leaks can still do the job of carrying
water from here to there! They only need to fool 80% of the
public, which isn't hard to do when you control the major networks
and newspapers. The 10-20% that do figure it out (and the fewer
still who will dare to speak their minds about it) can be
very easily marginalized with the propaganda label "conspiracy
theorist." The 80% + never take us critical thinkers seriously because they want to be part
of the majority. This is known as groupthink. (*Note: When saying "conspiracy theorist",
always hold your two hands up as you make sarcastic quote marks with your fingers.)
.
(The Ridicule Trick) "That's ridiculous (as he rolls his eyes). Do you really
believe that nonsense?"
RESPONSE: "Can I ask you an honest question?" (Wait for "yes") Do you consider yourself
an open minded, critical thinking person - yes or no? (Wait for "yes")
Then how can you possibly
ridicule an opinion when you haven't even done 10 minutes of
research into the matter? That's kind of ignorant don't you think?"
(Wait for response.)
. "Not
"Not everything
that happens in the world is a conspiracy!"
RESPONSE:
"Not everything is a conspiracy, but nor is NOTHING a
conspiracy either. Wouldn't you agree that we should evaluate each
case independently and with an open mind?" (Wait for response.)
.R
"Governments are so incompetant that they can't even deliver the mail
on time or balance a budget. They couldn't conspire their way out of a paper bag!".
RESPONSE:
"Don't confuse your incompetant, dim witted
Congressman or Senator with the shadow government. The dark
covert elements who stage these events are very skilled at carrying
out, and concealing, their plots. Take for example the
Manhattan Project. Hundreds of the world's top scientists were
holed up in a desert for months as they worked on the Atomic
Bomb. More than 100,000 people, each sworn to silence, worked
on the project in 3 secret cities. A test bomb was even
detonated in the the desert and not one word was said about it! This
conspiracy was so secretive, that when FDR died and Vice
President Truman became President, FDR's advisors had to inform him
of the Project's existence! So you see, the shadowy
intelligence element of the government is VERY capable!"
.
(The Unresolved Detail Trick) "If this is a conspiracy then explain
to me how they managed to do x, y, and z?"
RESPONSE:
"I don't have
every missing piece of this puzzle. But I have enough pieces to
KNOW that the government-media version is false! Imagine if
I gave you a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle, and told you that
the image is of a beach in Hawaii. But after snapping 30
pieces together, you notice polar bears, snow capped mountains,
and men covered in furs. Although there are still
70 missing pieces, you already have enough to KNOW that the
image is NOT that of a beach in Hawaii. It's the same with solving
conspiracies. I may not have all of the details, but I have
laid out enough pieces to know that the official story is
a lie. Does that make sense to you? (Wait for response.)
..
"So what? just because "x" happened, or
"y" said this, it doesn't mean it's a conspiracy. You're taking a few coincidences and making a conspiracy
out of it. "
RESPONSE:
"If it were just one or two coincidences, I would agree with
you. But when you have a series of 10,15, 20 different anomolies,
the law of statistics PROVES that they can't all be just
"coincidence". For example, if we're playing dice,
and I roll a "7" to win. That doesn't mean that my dice are
rigged. It's just a 1 in 6 coincidence. But if
I roll a "7", eight times in a row, then that's a 1 in 150,000
"coincidence". You would have to be a fool
not to question the integrity of those dice! You do understand
probabilities don't you? (Wait for response.)
..
(The Isolated Piece of Evidence Trick) "Other than citing some historical events, you still haven't shown me
one piece of evidence that this was a conspiracy. Tell me just one thing that most proves a conspiracy."
RESPONSE:
"That's a trick question! If I tell you "just one thing",
you'll just climb on your high horse and dismiss
it as a "coincidence". What I want to show you is TWENTY
THINGS! But you're too closed minded to consider
the case in its totality! You won't even watch a You Tube video
let alone read the case! I sure hope you never get selected
to serve on a jury! You want everything boiled down to a
simplistic media sound byte. Unless you will commit to
a few hours of study, I'm wasting my time with you. Why are you
so afraid to study this? (Wait for a response.)
.
"If
this were true, the media would be all over it! It would be on the front page of every newspaper in America."
RESPONSE: "The media, the government, the International
bankers, Hollywood, and academia are all part of the same incestuous complex. The media is part of the conspiracy, so why would you expect them to tell you the truth?" (Wait for response.)
.
"You wouldn't be able to corrupt so many people. Every reporter and politician would have to be
"in on it" in order to cover it up."
RESPONSE:
"The corruption doesn't come from the outside-in. It comes from the top-down.
If the ownership of a major media
organization decides that a certain story is to be spiked, or
if another story is to be hyped, then the rest of the organization
follows. If a low level reporter decides to defy his bosses, he
will lose his job and be blacklisted. Remember Helen Thomas?
After 50 years as a White House Correspondent, she was dumped
like a hot potato for publicly criticizing Israel. The same
fearful top-down control works in government and academia as
well.
.
"This is crazy. I don't believe in conspiracy theories."
RESPONSE: "You don't believe it? Or You don't WANT
to believe it? There's a big difference between the two. The
human mind is filled with complexes, one of which is the desire
to shield itself from unpleasant truths. You're afraid that if
you look into this, you might see that it's true. And you're
especially afraid that if you come to agree with me, you too
will then become marginalized as a "conspiracy theorist."
It is FEAR that is causing you to close your mind and act like a
sheep. Grow a pair and stop being so closed minded!"
.
"Conspiracy
theories appeal to uneducated people because they provide simplistic answers to complex events."
RESPONSE:
"Exactly
the OPPOSITE is true! The evaluation of conspiracy theories not
only requires much time and study, but also applied logic
and critical thinking. Did you know that Henry Ford, Thomas
Edison, and Bobby Fischer all believed in the "one-world
conspiracy theory"? Were those men stupid? No, it is
intellectually lazy people like you who choose to swallow and parrot
whatever simplistic narrative that the TV feeds you. Do you
ever question anything that the TV feeds you?" (Wait
for response.)
.
"Conspiracy theories appeal to people because they are comforting."
RESPONSE: "Exactly
the OPPOSITE is true. It is far more comforting to believe that certain tragic events happen exactly as the TV says,
than to believe in monstrous internal plots beyond our control. Do you actually think that I enjoy believing that
such evil exists? You think I like being ridiculed by simple minded family members and friends? Take
it from me, the life of a "conspiracy theorist" can actually be quite stressful at times!"
.
"Don't believe everything you read on the Internet."
RESPONSE: "I don't believe everything that's on the Internet.
But apparently you believe everything that's on the Idiot Box! I
only
believe those things which are verifiable, and consistent with
my own sense of reasoning and logic. The beauty of the Internet
is that, unlike the TV that you worship so much, all
sides of an issue are presented on the Internet. It
allows a critical thinker to figure out what the true story is.
The TV doesn't give you that option. Do you really believe
that the media presents the whole story? Are you that naive?
(laugh) Remember the fairy tale of the 'weapons
of mass destruction' in Iraq? The media shoved that lie down
our throats. So why do you trust the media so blindly and not
the Internet?"
(Wait for response.)
(Wait for response.)
.
"Some
conspiracy theorists still believe Elvis is still alive."
RESPONSE:
"So, according to your twisted logic, because some theories are false,
therefore ALL theories are false? I'm astonished that you could
make such a stupid and offensive anology! Is that the best
you got?" (Wait for response.)
.
"You don't have any respect or compassion
for the family members of the dead."
RESPONSE:
"I am honoring the dead by pursuing the truth as to who killed them! If someone in your family was killed,
wouldn't you want to know who the true culprit was?" (Wait
for response.)
