John Judge: “Conspiracy” Theories vs. “Coincidence” Theories

John Judge: “Conspiracy” Theories vs. “Coincidence” Theories

OK. You can call me a Conspiracy Theorist if you call everyone else a Coincidence Theorist. But n-o-o-o-o, only conspiracies are “theories”, well. that and Evolution. Ya, right, if this is Intelligent Design, what is a BAD idea? I keep seeing all these so-called journalists barking at Conspiracy Theorists who think anything the government or the rich do could be less than benign. You might get away with criticizing the government for stupidity or incompetence, but if you even hint at intent or intelligent design on their part, you’re ONE OF THEM –­ a Conspiracy Theorist!

Of course you could just take recent headlines and imagine saying them, say, even a year before they broke in the New York Times or the Washington Post, and who would have believed you then? There you are before 9/11 saying: The President is deliberately manipulating intelligence reports to sell a war with lies. The President has asked the NSA to start wiretapping citizens getting or making calls with someone suspect of being a terrorist abroad, and won’t reveal the mechanism that allows the NSA to find such people, that’s Top Secret.

The President and the intelligence agencies have the names of some potential terrorists; they suspect they are “suicide hijackers”. They know their method of attack is using planes as weapons and the specific terrorist targets . . .

. . . Colin Powell has told all the surrounding countries that the US would invade Afghanistan that October back in July, 2001, before any terrorist attacks have happened.

I know, by now I’m sounding like a madman and grabbing your collar ­”You HAVE to listen!” Another conspiracy nut, right? But in real fact every sentence above is based on hard truth and people were blowing those whistles even back then. (Emphasis added throughout/uthevelse tilføyet)
