Conspiracy Theories



I hear it all the time. 

"That's just another conspiracy theory."  I say just look around.  If I had told you half of what you have seen in the last ten years?  Was a conspiracy theory ten years ago? You would have more than likely bought that analysis.  But it wasn't.  It was real.  As it is real now.   So take a few minutes and follow me down the rabbit hole once again.  It's all about conspiracy  Right?

And for the most part?  Everyone accepts these analysis and media assertions everyday and they move on.  Which is precisely how and why, many of these so called conspiracy theories?  Are written off as conspiracy. People are told not to believe them by the media?  And they accept that analysis.  No one, or at least very few, ever bother to investigate.  Or look below the surface of mainstream representations.  No one ever wants to do the math.  But I do.



"All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus."

Therefore, the fact that you do not agree with me?  Doesn't make me wrong and it doesn't make me a hater, and it doesn't make me any of the other commonly launched invective attacks, specifically designed to malign, challenge and shoot down all opposition thought. What it makes me?  Is a realist and an alternative thinker.  Someone who does not simply accept the popularized memes of the day.

Conspiracy theories should be challenged.  They need to be challenged.  And they need to be challenged by intelligent review and intelligent investigations.  Neither of which you can depend upon the main stream media to employ or conduct in today's world.

The mainstream media are ass deep in sensationalism and they are ass deep in creating and branding conspiracy theories.  Therefore, why should we believe anything they produce.  I don't.

The most recent example of a media foisted conspiracy theory?  Is the president's mention of the young woman who was an intern, for the then republican congressman from Florida.  She was twenty eight years old.  A marathon runner. In perfect health.  And yet the coroner's findings in her death?  She fainted and struck her head on a desk and died.  With no one present to witness or verify any of these presumptions. 

And what of Joe Scarborough?  Her mentor?  Well obviously he had nothing to do with it.  That is the popularized meme of media, especially since Scarborough has become a flaming Trump critic.

An excerpt:

I also saw a clip with Joe and Imus where they were having a lot of fun at her expense and I thought it was totally inappropriate,' Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden.
Earlier, McEnany had referenced a clip Scarborough talking with morning radio show host Don Imus.
'In 2003, on Don Imus' show, it was Don Imus and Joe Scarborough that joked about killing an intern, joked and laughed about it,' McEnany said. 'That, I'm pretty sure was pretty hurtful to Lori's family and Joe Scarborough himself brought this up with Don Imus and Joe Scarborough himself can answer it.'

End of excerpt
So yes, Joe Scarborough and Don Imus were shits & giggles laughing about this girls death in 2003? Yet it is the president who is being insensitive to the dead woman's family today, by raising the issue of why her death was never fully investigated.

So,  as it goes?  The Obama administration spying on the Trump Campaign was a conspiracy theory as I recall.  As was the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton was fed the answers to questions during the 2016 presidential debates?  By Donna Brazille and the DNC.

As was the case of General Michael Flynn.  He was guilty of treason! And anyone who did not believe that?  Was just a conspirator in the larger conspiracy!

I could go on, but I believe the point has been made.  Conspiracy like beauty? Is in the eye of the beholder.  Or in the eye of the beer holder as they say.

The bottom line is this.  So far?  Everything the president has questioned?  That has been represented as a conspiracy theory?  Has turned out to be true, once the facts were revealed. And as it concerns Scarborough and the death of the young woman who was his intern?  All the facts are not in yet.

So, let's just keep it on slow cook and simmer as a conspiracy theory for a while longer.  The truth will eventually come out. And if the president's observations turn out to be prescient once again? 

Oh Well.

Donald Trump doubles down on claiming Joe Scarborough was involved in staffer's 'murder'
