Confessions of a Serial Conspiracy Theorist

by Szandor Blestman

I think that perhaps I’ve always been a conspiracy theorist. Now, that statement needs a little clarification. Always is a long time, so perhaps it would be better to say I’ve been a conspiracy theorist in this lifetime. Ah, but even that is a long time and can be a little unclear, so perhaps it is a little more accurate to say I’ve been a conspiracy theorist for as long as I can remember. Hmm, even that’s a little incorrect because I can remember pretty far back to times when I didn’t have a realistic idea of how the world works. Perhaps if I claim I’ve been a conspiracy theorist for as long as I’ve been able to think about such things and use reason to come to logical conclusions. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

But now there’s something else missing. These two words, “conspiracy theorist,” when used together, what exactly do they mean? You see, in recent times, in my opinion, these two words have been convoluted on purpose by certain interests in order to obfuscate truth. They’ve done this so that those who dig for the truth will be made irrelevant. Hmm, that’s a bit of a conspiracy theory in and of itself.

A conspiracy is simply two or more people plotting something evil, unlawful or just plain wrong. A theory is simply a proposed explanation or conjecture as to why something is the way it is or happened the way it happened. So a conspiracy theorist is merely someone who conjectures that something happened as it did because two or more people carried out a plot to make it so. Yet somehow the words “conspiracy theorist” have come to mean “some crazy loon with a wild imagination who makes things up” in the minds of many people.

Most recently many so called conspiracy debunkers have concentrated on conspiracy theories that involve government personnel. They will then declare the conspiracy theorists crazy as there are so many good people in government, too many people would know and it would be too hard to keep it secret, or someone would blow the whistle, or some such thing. These arguments are easily picked apart for the most part and are just as emotionally based, in my opinion, as some of the conspiracy theories they are trying to debunk. This observation makes me wonder if some hidden power isn’t trying to make the masses believe that government is a most innocuous and beneficial organization so that they don’t want to believe that it in fact creates an environment for the most destructive and malevolent forces of humankind to operate from. There I go again, spouting my conspiratorial thinking.

Yet believing the debunkers closes the mind. If one listens to them one may never clearly understand all the evidence of conspiracy. One might never ask the right questions. One might never question the right authorities. One might even go as far as to twist the laws of physics so that this religion of government, this belief that government is nothing but loving, caring, and beneficial to the masses, isn’t shattered. Like a wife who refuses to break free of an abusive husband, (or a husband who refuses to acknowledge a wife’s infidelity) the true believers debunk any evidence of unfaithfulness. Instead, they make excuses that hold no water and point to the occasions where their spouse expressed their loving and caring nature. It is the same with government. A true believer might say something like “How can our leaders who protect us from evil foreigners, provide us with retirement funding, care about the welfare of our poor, regulate the soulless businessmen, and give us education and roads do anything evil?”

I grew up on the heels of the Kennedy assassinations. I remember the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination and the riots it caused. There really isn’t that much question that these conspiratorial events involved some very powerful government entities and yet the guilty parties were never held accountable. In fact those involved or their families or agents still have a hold on power today. Their agenda includes a determination to gain power across Western civilization and to never relinquish that power. After all, should they lose that power there’s a chance that they may have to account for their past evils perpetrated against humanity. They can’t let that happen.

Yeah, I confess, I do believe that there are powerful men hidden inside the complex that is the modern corporate structure directing events that will shape our future. I do believe they plot to create events that will benefit their interests. I do believe they use their wealth and power to buy high level politicians to make sure their interests are represented first and foremost when it comes to making national policies. I do believe they place their friends and even their family members into positions of high power so that they can continue to cover up past misdeeds and move forward an agenda. I do believe these people would do anything to hold onto power, anything. Anything. And everything. I don’t believe they care one whit for the common folk. In fact, I think they’re frightened of us, for they worry that if enough of us find out and decide to do something about it they may lose more than just their positions of privilege. They are frightened at what we may do should we decide to direct our ire at the true power behind their puppet politicians.
