I totally embrace the term conspiracy theorist. Questioning/Doubting the narrative has become a natural response. So far, so good.

I have long simply used the word truther. "Conspiracy theorist" was coined by the CIA after they murdered JFK to squelch anyone who doubted the accepted narrative. It's been used as a smear tactic against truthers for decades.

Interestingly, most of the theories have been shown to be fact. Conspiracies are real.

The opposite of a

"conspiracy theorist"

is a

"coincidence theorist"

A crazy person who sees coincidences everywhere when there are none.

When someone calls you a conspiracy theorist ask them if they are a coincidence theorist.

“extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence” attributed to Carl Sagan.

and the listener decides what constitutes extraordinary.

Time and again, the wrong friggin’ metric. One needn’t be an epidemiologist or virologist to recognize sociopathic hyenas. And yet the reasonable conclusions about their actions and motives are as easily dismissed as the transgressions that compel them. The history is there. The data is there. The proof is there. What isn’t there is somebody doing a goddamn thing about it.

Sounds like you’re doing something about it. Speaking up is doing something about it. Dr Paul and many others are doing something about it. People are finally starting to wake up

I’m doing as much as possible given my claustrophobic sphere of influence. What’s disheartening are those vast numbers of people with sizable platforms that make a habit of couching sentiments here and not offending there so as to avoid jeopardizing whatever subsidies that have. To my mind they are no better than any other form of bread and circuses. I sure as hell hope you’re right about the somnambulists.

Anyone could invent any theory about anything and it will always be false until proven true. There may be one etched in granite truth and a million falsehoods surrounding it. Nature is always a basis for truth because it can never be false. Man on the other hand is seldom based in truth. He may constantly live a lie due to his unbounded ego and arrogance.

People who do not want to know the truth, despise the truth, hate the truth and want to hide or censor the truth will label everything as a conspiracy theory. Labeling anything a conspiracy theory does not prove anything. It is only when the facts, if there are any, come to light and become indisputable the a conspiracy theory can be said to be the truth.

This young woman has paid a high price in Victoria Australia. During the pandemic she was arrested, as she was driving around with a van with sleeping vans on it about the lockdowns. She was again arrested undefined charges as she was trying to create a new political party- the Freedom party. They kept her in prison trying to make one of the bail conditions that she committed to not starting a new political party. She did not comply. In the end after a few weeks the govt withdrew that condition and she was bailed. I love the way she thinks
