The phrase \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d is a derogatory smear phrase thrown at someone in an attempt to paint them as a lunatic. It\u2019s a tactic frequently used by modern-day thought police in a desperate attempt to demand \u201cDon\u2019t go there!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

But let\u2019s step back for a rational moment and ask the commonsense question: Are there really NO conspiracies in our world? The Attorney General of South Carolina would surely disagree with such a blanket statement. After all, he\u00a0<\/span>sued five pharmaceutical companies<\/a>\u00a0for conducting a price-fixing conspiracy to defraud the state of Medicaid money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, in 2008, a federal judge\u00a0ruled that three pharmaceutical companies artificially marked up their prices in order to defraud Medicare.<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, dozens of U.S. states have filed suit against pharmaceutical companies for actions that are conspiracies: conspiracy to engage in price fixing, conspiracy to bribe doctors, conspiracy to defraud the state and so on.<\/p>\n

The massive drug company GlaxoSmithKline, even more,\u00a0plead guilty to a massive criminal fraud case<\/a>\u00a0involving a global conspiracy to bribe doctors into prescribing more GSK drugs.<\/p>\n

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. A deeper look into the criminality of just the drug industry alone reveals\u00a0a widespread pattern of conspiratorial behavior<\/strong>\u00a0to defraud the public and commit felony crimes in the name of \u201cmedicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is a conspiracy, exactly?<\/h1>\n

As any state or federal prosecutor will gladly tell you, a \u201cconspiracy\u201d is simply when two or more people plot to commit an act of deceit (or a crime).<\/p>\n

Thus, when three hoodlums plan to rob the local Quickie Mart, they are engaged in a \u201cconspiracy\u201d and will likely be charged with a \u201cconspiracy to commit armed robbery\u201d in addition to the different crime of \u201carmed robbery.\u201d The fact that they planned it with several friends makes it a \u201cconspiracy\u201d worthy of additional felony charges, you see. When these charges are brought up in court, the judge doesn\u2019t look at the prosecutor and say, \u201cYou are a conspiracy theorist!\u201d That would be absurd.<\/p>\n

The idea, then, that there is no such thing as a conspiracy is flatly ludicrous. And people who condemn others as being \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d only make themselves look mentally impaired.<\/p>\n

To live in our modern world which is full of collusion and conspiracy \u2013 and yet somehow DENY the existence of any conspiracies at all \u2013 is an admission of a damaged brain. Of course there are conspiracies, and when people analyze those conspiracies, they are \u201ctheorizing\u201d about what happened. This is, in fact, precisely the job that police detectives and FBI agents carry out almost daily.<\/p>\n

Most police detectives are, in reality, \u201cconspiracy investigators\u201d and analysts.<\/p>\n

There are endless examples of real conspiracies<\/h1>\n

Auto manufacturers routinely conspire to cover up mechanical defects that put customer lives at risk. Even National Public Radio lays out\u00a0the full timeline of the General Motors conspiracy<\/a>\u00a0to hide the problem with its faulty ignition switches.<\/p>\n

Last year, food corporations conspired with the Grocery Manufacturers of America (the GMA) tocommit money laundering crimes in Washington state<\/a>\u00a0in order to funnel money into a campaign to defeat GMO labeling there.<\/p>\n

The FDA\u00a0conspired with a drug manufacturer to keep a deadly diabetes drug called Rezulin on the market<\/a>\u00a0in the USA even after safety regulators pulled the product in Europe.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the corrupt, criminal-minded operators of mainstream science journals conspired in a particularly evil way to\u00a0railroad Dr. Andrew Wakefield with provably false accusations<\/a>\u00a0about the nature of his research into the side effects of vaccines. The\u00a0GMO Seralini study<\/a>\u00a0has been similarly railroaded by a genuine conspiracy of evil, corrupt science journal editors who routinely conspire to suppress all the science they don\u2019t want to be seen by the public. Fortunately, 150 other scientists have come to support Seralini with a\u00a0global condemnation of the obviously contrived scientific censorship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We live in a world of such deception and collusion that, frankly stated, it\u2019s hard to find a large institution (such as medicine, agriculture or the war industry) which isn\u2019t involved in some sort of conspiracy at some level.<\/p>\n

What is a \u201cconspiracy theorist?<\/h1>\n

The pejorative \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d is meant to demean and ridicule skeptics of official stories.<\/p>\n

Most so-called \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d are really skeptics, by definition. They\u2019re skeptical of what the government tells them. They\u2019re skeptical of the claim that drug companies are really only interested in helping humankind and have no desire to make money. They\u2019re skeptical that food corporations are telling them the truth about what\u2019s in their food. And they\u2019re also skeptical of anything coming out of Washington D.C., regardless of which party happens to be in power at the time.<\/p>\n

People who are not skeptics of \u201cofficial stories\u201d tend to be dull-minded. To believe everything these institutions tell you is a sign of mental retardation. To ask questions, on the other hand, is a sign of higher intelligence and wisdom.<\/p>\n

Skeptics of official stories, it turns out, also have the support of history on their side. How many times has it later been revealed that the American people were lied to by the very institutions we were supposed to trust?<\/p>\n

For example, it is an historical fact that\u00a098 million Americans were injected with hidden cancer viruses<\/a>\u00a0which were later found in polio vaccines strongly recommended by the CDC. In an effort to cover that up and rewrite history, the CDC later\u00a0scrubbed all accounts of that history from its website<\/a>, pretending it never happened.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more than a cover-up; it\u2019s an Orwellian-style conspiracy to selectively rewrite history and deny Americans any memory of a monumental, deadly error made by the CDC in collusion with the vaccine industry.<\/p>\n

According to two former Merck virologists, that company conspired to\u00a0fake the results of its vaccine tests<\/a>\u00a0by spiking test samples with animal antibodies, thereby falsely distorting the results to make the vaccine appear effective. The two virologists filed a False Claims Act with the federal government detailing the conspiracy, saying:<\/p>\n

Merck also added animal antibodies to blood samples to achieve more favorable test results, though it knew that the human immune system would never produce such antibodies, and that the antibodies created a laboratory testing scenario that \u201cdid not in any way correspond to, correlate with, or represent real life \u2026 virus neutralization in vaccinated people\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Conspiracies of money and big banks<\/h1>\n

Every month, the Federal Reserve conspires to steal a portion of your wealth through \u201cquantitative easing\u201d \u2013 an irresponsible money creation scheme that devalues all the currency already in circulation (i.e. the money in your bank account).<\/p>\n

The money the Fed creates is, not surprisingly, handed over to the big Wall Street banks \u2013 the same banks that received\u00a0a jaw-dropping $29 trillion in \u201cbailout money\u201d<\/a>\u00a0since the near-collapse of U.S. banking in late 2008.<\/p>\n

Why did this bailout money go to the banks instead of the American people? Because\u00a0powerful people sat in dark rooms and colluded to send the money to the most influential banks<\/strong>. A conspiracy, in other words, by definition.<\/p>\n

Had that same amount of money been equally distributed across the U.S. population, the Fed would have distributed nearly $100,000 to each and every citizen in America; man, woman and child. But instead of enriching the population, the banking bailout\u00a0burdened the population<\/strong>\u00a0with the debt now owed to the Fed by future taxpayers.<\/p>\n

Every $1 trillion created by the Fed, after all, is $1 trillion \u201cloaned\u201d to the U.S. Treasury which must somehow be repaid. In truth, the minute you start to investigate how money is created, why the Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel and why the big banks get all the bailout money, you run head-first into genuine conspiracies almost from the outset. When you look up the word \u201cconspiracy\u201d in a dictionary, it should probably say, \u201cSee Banking and Finance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our world is full of conspiracies because it\u2019s full of people who deceive<\/h1>\n

The reason conspiracies are real is because humanity is a race capable of extreme deception. As long as there are people whose actions are based in greed, jealousy and a desire to dominate others, there will be real conspiracies plotted and operating across every sector of society.<\/p>\n

The correct term for \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d should really be \u201cconspiracy analyst.\u201d Most of the people who are skeptical of official stories are, in fact,\u00a0analyzing conspiracies<\/strong>\u00a0in an attempt to understand what really happened and what took place behind closed doors.<\/p>\n

A highly-recommended book the delves into this matter in more detail is the five-star-rated masterpiece\u00a0Official Stories: Counter-Arguments for a Culture in Need<\/a>\u00a0by Liam Scheff.<\/p>\n

This book will open the minds of those who still have the cognitive capability remaining to grasp it. (Sadly, the injection of mercury into babies in the form of vaccines has damaged so many brains across America that many people are now cognitively incapable of rational thought.)<\/p>\n

And remember: the next time someone flings the phrase \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d in your direction, simply know that they are effectively wearing a DUNCE hat on their heads by admitting they have failed to acknowledge that true conspiracies are rather commonplace.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not merely a theory, either: it\u2019s a statement of fact.<\/p>\n
