Interesting. You know, Paranoia Magazine a few years ago, when they still published, published a very interesting article about how Tuesday Weld was the witch of the Illuminati. But I only read conspiracy theories for their entertainment value, not to be informed. And for the neuro-plasticity of it all.
My one rule: Never believe a conspiracy theory, especially if it is true.
This is because once the mind starts accepting madness as reality, madness becomes reality.
Plus, if you really listen to people like Jim Marrs and Alex Jones, they aren't too different from Jon Stewart, manipulating the facts in order to make a joke.
I recently heard Jim Marrs on some obscure podcast totally distorting what Dubya said in his 9/11 interview in order to fit his "9/11 is an inside job" world view. He also turned the infamous "Bush just sat there for 7 minutes" into 20 minutes. Even somebody outside the alleged "truther movement" like me knows it is 7 minutes.
Most of these guys have found a way to make money on induced mental illness. Some are misguided but sincere. But most simply want to be on TV.
As noted media philosopher, Dr. Brian O'Blivion, once observed: Television is reality. And reality is less than television.
Certain people, suffering from reality deficiency syndrome, simply see being on TV as the cure to all their ails.
