"Conspiracy theories,"

Post Reply New Topic

It's possible for some people who call themselves experts in a certain field to simply be dishonest. Why is it it's such a relatively small number of them?

It's like biologists who reject evolution for theological issues. There are a number of them, but they are a minority regardless, and the scientific consensus speaks against them.

Of course, that's assuming they truly are experts in the field and not lying about their credentials.

Coincidences are coincidences, no matter how many there are. Actually, there are an infinite number of coincidences in this universe. Does this mean they're all linked to American government being corrupt? No.

MCalavera,
you can't compare ''universe coincidences'' with ''human social coincidences''. They are two different magnitudes.
If the US goverment is corrupt, this is a possible evidence that your actions will be more predisposed to be corrupt and manipulative than honest. Is like the first water drop down in the sky, advertising that new water drops will down in the next minutes, rain.
Is impossible analyze all evidences because is like more as labyrinth. These people are very clever. You need concentrate in the most important evidences, like domino pieces, when you push the first, all of other pieces will fall.
Actually there many this pieces like egalitarianism dogma.

I don't believe tha say something different like this. But, i repeat, is necessary find to mother- evidences, the other kids-evidences are more irrelevant and very dependent than greater totens.

I would compare it to wearing a hard hat on a jobsite.
Do I wear one because I am sure that something will fall on my head. No.
Do I wear one because there is a possibility that something could fall on my head. Yes.
By some people's logic, it is ridiculous to wear one at all, because there is no evidence that without a doubt, something absolutely is going to fall on my head.

It's more akin to wearing a hard hat to go swimming in the sea.

Weak.

I called this as precaution, the life is very fragile.
The logic isn't used all matters, some ''conspiracy theories'' (please, i don't talk about the repytilians, ) aren't logics because she come to human subjectivity.

another Whistleblower, make of it what you will, but such things do surface from time to time:-

Karen Hudes is a graduate of Yale Law School and she worked in the legal department of the World Bank for more than 20 years. In fact, when she was fired for blowing the whistle on corruption inside the World Bank, she held the position of Senior Counsel.

She was in a unique position to see exactly how the global elite rule the world, and the information that she is now revealing to the public is absolutely stunning. According to Hudes, the elite use a very tight core of financial institutions and mega-corporations to dominate the planet.

Karen HudesThe goal is control. They want all of us enslaved to debt, they want all of our governments enslaved to debt, and they want all of our politicians addicted to the huge financial contributions that they funnel into their campaigns. Since the elite also own all of the big media companies, the mainstream media never lets us in on the secret that there is something fundamentally wrong with the way that our system works.

Remember, this is not some “conspiracy theorist” that is saying these things. This is a Yale-educated attorney that worked inside the World Bank for more than two decades. The following summary of her credentials comes directly from her website…

Karen Hudes studied law at Yale Law School and economics at the University of Amsterdam. She worked in the US Export Import Bank of the US from 1980-1985 and in the Legal Department of the World Bank from 1986-2007. She established the Non Governmental Organization Committee of the International Law Section of the American Bar Association and the Committee on Multilateralism and the Accountability of International Organizations of the American Branch of the International Law Association.

Today, Hudes is trying very hard to expose the corrupt financial system that the global elite are using to control the wealth of the world. During an interview with the New American, she discussed how we are willingly allowing this group of elitists to totally dominate the resources of the planet…

A former insider at the World Bank, ex-Senior Counsel Karen Hudes, says the global financial system is dominated by a small group of corrupt, power-hungry figures centered around the privately owned U.S. Federal Reserve. The network has seized control of the media to cover up its crimes, too, she explained. In an interview with The New American, Hudes said that when she tried to blow the whistle on multiple problems at the World Bank, she was fired for her efforts. Now, along with a network of fellow whistleblowers, Hudes is determined to expose and end the corruption. And she is confident of success.

Citing an explosive 2011 Swiss study published in the PLOS ONE journal on the “network of global corporate control,” Hudes pointed out that a small group of entities — mostly financial institutions and especially central banks — exert a massive amount of influence over the international economy from behind the scenes. “What is really going on is that the world’s resources are being dominated by this group,” she explained, adding that the “corrupt power grabbers” have managed to dominate the media as well. “They’re being allowed to do it.”

Previously, I have written about the Swiss study that Hudes mentioned. It was conducted by a team of researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. They studied the relationships between 37 million companies and investors worldwide, and what they discovered is that there is a “super-entity” of just 147 very tightly knit mega-corporations that controls 40 percent of the entire global economy…

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.

But the global elite don’t just control these mega-corporations. According to Hudes, they also dominate the unelected, unaccountable organizations that control the finances of virtually every nation on the face of the planet. The World Bank, the IMF and central banks such as the Federal Reserve literally control the creation and the flow of money worldwide.

At the apex of this system is the Bank for International Settlements. It is the central bank of central banks, and posted below is a video where you can watch Hudes tell Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com the following…

“We don’t have to wait for anybody to fire the Fed or Bank for International Settlements . . . some states have already started to recognize silver and gold, the precious metals, as currency”

Most people have never even heard of the Bank for International Settlements, but it is an extremely important organization. In a previous article, I described how this “central bank of the world” is literally immune to the laws of all national governments…

An immensely powerful international organization that most people have never even heard of secretly controls the money supply of the entire globe. It is called the Bank for International Settlements, and it is the central bank of central banks. It is located in Basel, Switzerland, but it also has branches in Hong Kong and Mexico City. It is essentially an unelected, unaccountable central bank of the world that has complete immunity from taxation and from national laws. Even Wikipedia admits that “it is not accountable to any single national government.“ The Bank for International Settlements was used to launder money for the Nazis during World War II, but these days the main purpose of the BIS is to guide and direct the centrally-planned global financial system. Today, 58 global central banks belong to the BIS, and it has far more power over how the U.S. economy (or any other economy for that matter) will perform over the course of the next year than any politician does. Every two months, the central bankers of the world gather in Basel for another “Global Economy Meeting”. During those meetings, decisions are made which affect every man, woman and child on the planet, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on. The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system.

This system did not come into being by accident. In fact, the global elite have been developing this system for a very long time. In a previous article entitled “Who Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings“, I included a quote from Georgetown University history professor Carroll Quigley from a book that he authored all the way back in 1966 in which he discussed the big plans that the elite had for the Bank for International Settlements…

[T]he powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations.

And that is exactly what we have today.

We have a system of “neo-feudalism” in which all of us and our national governments are enslaved to debt. This system is governed by the central banks and by the Bank for International Settlements, and it systematically transfers the wealth of the world out of our hands and into the hands of the global elite.

But most people have no idea that any of this is happening because the global elite also control what we see, hear and think about. Today, there are just six giant media corporations that control more than 90 percent of the news and entertainment that you watch on your television in the United States.

This is the insidious system that Karen Hudes is seeking to expose. For much more, you can listen to Joyce Riley of the Power Hour interview her for an entire hour right here.

A conspiracy is just two or more people working together on a common objective without being open about what they are doing or why. They happen all the time. If a genuine conspiracy is only suspected by a minority of people rather than being widely accepted, then you have a conspiracy theory. And if a non-existent conspiracy is suspected by a minority of people, then you have another conspiracy theory. Some conspiracy theories are going to be true and some are going to be false.

I know there are people out there who will refuse to accept the official explanation for just about anything, but "anti-conspiracy-theorists" can be just as pig-headed.

I think anti-conspiracy-theorizing has a lot to do with ego-massaging. It must make a person feel so much more well-adjusted to think about all those supposed losers out there who need to make up stories to make their lives more interesting.

I don't think it's a coincidence that most anti-conspiracy-theorists I've come across tend to be neocon-types. You know, the sort of people who think their country is a beacon of progress for the entire world to aspire to, and who think that anyone who disagrees is a lunatic who hates them for their freedom (or something).

Fnord's question is an old favourite of anti-conspiracy-theorists.

I wouldn't be surprised if the anti-conspiracy-theorists on this thread start moving the goalposts, and start saying things like:

"if the conspiracy is so powerful, why does that website exist and why hasn't she been killed yet", or

"she's delusional", or

"how do we even know she is who she says she is"

As for the world financial system, even a child can see that there is something suspiciously wrong with it. If money is just bits of paper or digits on a screen that derive their value from the laws of sovereign states, why should sovereign states need to go running to organizations like the World Bank when they run out of it?

But since I cannot answer Fnord's mammoth-size exam question on this particular subject, I suppose I better not ask such questions.

I don't like placing legit investigations of conspiracies and such in the same category as the traditional conspiracy theories being discussed here. And it would be misleading of you to do so.

What are some legit conspiracies in your opinion?

I'll start this one.

Watergate

Et tu, Brute?
