<\/a>Have you ever noticed that whenever the government or the mainstream media wants to demonize a particular point of view they call it a \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d?\u00a0 The unspoken message is that normal people such as us should never dare to question the official propaganda being put out by \u201cofficial sources\u201d.\u00a0 But what if those \u201cofficial sources\u201d are wrong?\u00a0 What if those \u201cofficial sources\u201d have a specific agenda that they are trying to promote?\u00a0 Has it become a crime to ask questions?\u00a0 Has it become a crime to think for ourselves?\u00a0 The other day, Public Policy Polling did an opinion <\/strong><\/span>poll<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>about \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d.\u00a0 Just by reading the questions they asked, it is obvious that the goal was to make those that believe in those theories to look foolish.\u00a0 When they released the results of the poll, they stated that some of the \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d could only be found in \u201cthe darker corners of the internet\u201d \u2013 as if there was something unsavory or evil about them.\u00a0 But is it really \u201ccrazy\u201d to believe that sometimes bad people do bad things?\u00a0 A conspiracy is just \u201ca secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful\u201d.\u00a0 So do conspiracies ever happen?\u00a0 Of course they happen.\u00a0 They have happened for as long as humanity has existed.\u00a0 But in this day and age, we are just supposed to assume that all of our politicians and all of the big corporations that dominate our society are just sweet and wonderful and would never want to do us any harm whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at some of the results of the Public Policy Polling survey about conspiracy theories.\u00a0 Excerpts from the results are in bold, and my comments follow thereafter\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c37% of voters believe global warming is a hoax, 51% do not. Republicans say global warming is a hoax by a 58-25 margin, Democrats disagree 11-77, and Independents are more split at \u00a041-51. 61% of Romney voters believe global warming is a hoax\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The planet has been warming up and cooling down for thousands of years, and most \u201cclimate change\u201d can be directly attributed to the gigantic ball of fire that our planet is revolving around.\u00a0 Even if \u201cgreenhouse gases\u201d did play a significant role in \u201cclimate change\u201d, the truth is that carbon emissions make up <\/strong><\/span>less than 5<\/strong><\/span> percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>of all greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and human activity accounts for <\/strong><\/span>less than 5<\/strong><\/span> percent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> of all carbon emissions.\u00a0 So to suggest that \u201cglobal warming\u201d could ever be significantly influenced by reducing carbon emissions is absolutely laughable.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c6% of voters believe Osama bin Laden is still alive\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n They rapidly dumped his \u201cdead body\u201d into the ocean and the American public has still never seen any of the pictures that supposedly show that Osama bin Laden is dead.\u00a0 Are we just supposed to trust our politicians when they tell us that the U.S. military killed him?\u00a0 After all, our politicians lie for a living.\u00a0 Plus, the truth is that there is a tremendous amount o<\/strong><\/span>f evidence<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that bin Laden died many years before the now famous Seal team raid on a compound in Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c28% of voters believe secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government, or New World Order.\u00a0 A plurality of Romney voters (38%) believe in the New World Order compared to 35% who don\u2019t\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Whether you want to call them \u201cthe New World Order\u201d or \u201cthe Illuminati\u201d or \u201cthe global elite\u201d, the truth is that nobody should be able to deny that there are ultra-wealthy individuals that are seeking to dominate the planet.\u00a0 If you doubt this, please see the following article: \u201cWho Runs The World? Solid Proof That A Core<\/strong><\/span> Group Of Wealthy Elitists Is Pulling The Strings<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201c.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c20% of voters believe there is a link between childhood vaccines and autism, 51% do not\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n At one time I didn\u2019t believe that there was a link either.\u00a0 But then I started looking into the evidence for myself. Why do they make us feel like criminals for asking questions about this? Is it because it threatens billions of dollars in pharmaceutical company profits? I put a lot of what I learned on this issue into this article: \u201cVaccines And Autism: <\/span><\/strong><\/span>The Secret That You Are Not Supposed To Know<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201c.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c9% of voters think the government adds fluoride to our water supply for sinister reasons (not just dental health)\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Whatever the intention, the truth is that there is a tremendous amount of evidence that drinking fluoride is very harmful to humans.\u00a0 A number of studies have shown that it actually <\/strong><\/span>causes brain<\/strong><\/span> damage<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and it has been shown <\/strong><\/span>to accelerate the growth of<\/strong><\/span> cancer<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 A blog post <\/strong><\/span>by Mary<\/strong><\/span> Bloomer<\/strong><\/span><\/a> summarized some of the other reasons why we should avoid Fluoride\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c51% of voters say a larger conspiracy was at work in the JFK assassination, just 25% say Oswald acted alone\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Does anyone actually still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone?\u00a0 Even though a majority of the American people now believe that there was a larger conspiracy at work in that assassination, the government and the media are still sticking to their story.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c5% believe exhaust seen in the sky behind airplanes is actually chemicals sprayed by the government for sinister reasons\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Do you see how they worded that question?\u00a0 The exhaust trails that normal aircraft leave behind are called \u201ccontrail<\/span><\/strong><\/span>s<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201c, and they usually disappear within moments.\u00a0 \u201cChemtrails\u201d are something else entirely.\u00a0 Once they are sprayed in the air, they can often remain up there for hours.\u00a0 But apparently we aren\u2019t supposed to notice the huge white lines that crisscross the sky right above our heads.\u00a0 The only real debate about chemtrails should be about what their purpose is.\u00a0 Are they being used for weather modification<\/strong><\/span> projects<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>or is something more sinister happening?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201c15% of voters think the medical industry and the pharmaceutical industry \u2018invent\u2019 new diseases to make money\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The pharmaceutical industry may not be inventing diseases just to make money, but they sure do love to invent new reasons to get people hooked on their legal drugs.\u00a0 The sad truth is that the American people are the most doped up people on the face of the planet.\u00a0 The following are some facts about pharmaceutical drugs from my recent article entitled \u201c50 Signs That The U.S. Health Care System Is A Gigantic Money<\/strong><\/span> Making Scam<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u201c\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n -During 2013, Americans will spend more than 280 billion<\/strong><\/span> dollars<\/strong><\/span><\/a> <\/strong><\/span>on prescription drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n –<\/strong>Prescription drugs cost about 50%<\/strong><\/span> more<\/strong><\/span><\/a> in the United States than they do in other countries.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n –<\/strong>In the United States today, prescription painkillers kill more Americans <\/strong><\/span>than heroin and cocaine <\/span><\/strong><\/span>combined<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n –<\/strong>Nearly half of all <\/strong><\/span>Americans<\/strong><\/span><\/a> now use prescription drugs on a regular basis according to the CDC.\u00a0 Not only that, the CDC also says that approximately one-third of all Americans use two or more pharmaceutical drugs on a regular basis, and more than\u00a0ten percent of all Americans\u00a0use five or more\u00a0pharmaceutical drugs on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n –<\/strong>The percentage of women taking antidepressants in America is h<\/strong><\/span>igher<\/strong><\/span><\/a> than in any other country in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n –<\/strong>In 2010, the average teen in the U.S. was taking <\/strong><\/span>1.2 central nervous system<\/strong><\/span> drugs<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Those are the kinds of drugs which treat conditions such as ADHD and depression.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
