The Truth of the Bilderberg Group and Extra Terrestrials

8 comments

In general I stay away from sites like infowars. When I first started this site I did a story based on information I found there. I quickly discovered the ‘facts’ were fudged. It made me look bad. 9/11 was an inside job? No. The only conspiracy I see there was Islam extremists conspired to fly airplanes into buildings. Did Bush exploit this for his wars? Sure he did. Was this planned in some secret room full of people hell bent on using it to take over the world? No, it wasn’t.

As an anarchist what I write is not easy for many to accept. It is a philosophy that reveals the reality of our rulers. It is not a conspiracy theory, it is an analysis of power and the dynamics that exist. Some are addicted to this idea of a New World Order, or the idea that governments have conspired against us to do all sorts of strange things. Have governments lied? Yes. Have they successfully covered this up? Not in general. CIA operations like operation Mongoose have come out into the public eye. In this age of wikileaks and anonymous keeping secrets is even harder than ever before.

I strongly urge anarchists and other political radicals to avoid conspiracy theories. Films such as Zetigeist or The Obama Conspiracy just serve as noise to distract. The ruling classes have done enough unethical things in public for us not to have to resort to conspiracies of the Bilderberg Group plotting to take over the world. While in the Marine Corps I grew extremely skeptical of secret government conspiracies. This was a government organization that could not even successfully give it’s Marines working straws on Gas Masks. I saw that it had serious issues with things like keeping track of it’s inventory. Marines would often walk off with whatever gear they wanted. They say ‘Marines do not steal’ well, that one was about as far from the truth as one could get. If they can not keep basic property under control how was this organization going to effectively keep aliens and mothmen under wraps?

Those who do follow the conspiracy theories have much more faith in the government than I personally do.  When the United States government does lie and conspire it is often much less glorious than the Alex Jones conspiracy theory version. We can see this in foreign affairs. Look to Cuba and the bay of pigs. We come to find out that the CIA pushed for this conflict and instigated it. We find out that the CIA was guilty of spreading disinformation in the U.S. in the 80′s to push for a conflict with Libya. The U.S. goes as far as to schedule bombings of Libya to occur at the same time as the evening news. The lies and disinformation turn out to be much less clandestine than the conspiracy nuts would like.

The whole conspiracy theory thing is fringe and frankly a bit paranoid. It makes those who preach them and associate with them look just a little batty. I do avoid them. I would suggest other politically radical people do the same. If you are writing about or adhering to a more radical political or anti-political philosophy the noise of the Alex Jones group only helps to discredit your argument. I distance myself from it. The big ones today seem to focus around the terrorist attack on the twin towers ‘Truther’ movement, the Bilderberg Group and now the ‘Birther’ conspiracy.

In general there is far too much in the public and in our history to look towards that shows unethical behavior to need to resort to conspiracies. The basic unethical structure of the state is enough to focus on without having to resort to science fiction stories. Avoid conspiracy theories. Don’t look at space aliens and bigfoot to find the truth, there is none there.

It’s difficult enough reaching a mainstream audience with out message, yet alone doing so with aliens and the NWO conspiracies clouding the discussion. You want the truth? Oswald killed Kennedy.

    What is your definition of conspiracy?

    Was Enron a conspiracy?
    Was the US government STD experiments on Guatemalans a conspiracy?
    Was the murder of Pat Tillman and subsequent cover-up a conspiracy?
    Is Julian Assange’s arrest a conspiracy?

    After Wikileaks, I don’t know how anyone other than a paid government sock puppet could curl their lip (or pretend to curl their lip) at a conspiracy hypothesis.

      I agree, though the problem I think lies in the fact that ‘conspiracy theory’ is a wide reaching catchall that features things with a high probability of truth to them, like Enron or pretty much anything involving COINTELPRO, as well as theories that are self-evidentally incorrect like the whole vapour trails thing.

      We have to distance ourselves from the lunatic fringe whilst still being able to make point to the validity of the theories you mentioned. How we go about doing that, I have absolutely no idea.

        I think the bigger danger is that we grant those in power the credibility to marginalize their opponents. As it turns out, on the subject of politics the conspiracy theorists are right more often then they are wrong.

          Well put. I think the internet is going some way accomplishing that…

          Out of interest, are you familiar with Paul Feyerabend’s anarchist theory of knowledge? It has nothing to do with anarchism politically asuch, but deals with how we approach truth with regard to scientific theory. It’s quite interesting, though I am by no means a proponent of such an approach. You can find it under epistemological anarchism on Wikipedia. I wonder if something similar can (0r indeed should) be applied to this?

            No I haven’t! But as a compulsive book buyer, I appreciate a new excuse. I will check it out. Thank you.

    Over the plate, waist high. Sometimes I wonder whose side sites like infowars are on… they often make the Liberty movement simply look like kooks.

      No doubt. I cringe when they do say something of value.
