Conspiricism Is The Anti-Globalism of Fools

by Paul H. Rosenberg Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2001 at 7:45 PM
rad@gte.net

It's so much simpler to explain all the evil in the world as the result of evil-doers working in secret, hiding in the shadows. Just ask George W. That's how he sees the world. And that's how the folks who posted this link see it, too. Just a different set of evil-doers.

So, if you want to blame the Illuminati, then this link's for you! You can waste the rest of your life in this sort of thing. You can end up fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with folks who bomb abortion clinics and beat up gays. And you can feel soooo superior to folks like me, who are foolish enough to actually want proof of things before we believe them, and who see the world as primarily "controlled" by large-scale historical developments--class formations, technological developments, etc.--that no single group can possibly control.

But be warned, when you click on this link you'll find such foolishness as this:

"The Trilateral Commission (TC)

"Also known as the 'Child of Bilderberg', this group was founded by David Rockefeller in 1972-73 to covertly unify the policies of the US, Europe and Japan."

What I'm pointing to here is the phrase "covertly unify". There was absolutely NOTHING covert about this agenda. If you want to understand the world in terms of real, materialistic economic forces and technological developments, then it makes perfect sense that elite leaders would alternatively compete and cooperate according to changes in world around them and their own perceived self-interest. There would be nothing particularly surprising about a group such as the Trilateral Commission.

Of course it would be worth studying in terms of how it functioned and what it accomplished in the larger scheme of things, but none of this would have anything to do with HIDDEN power. The power these guys wield is quite open and visible. Not to say that all they do is out in the open--they have plenty of dirty little secrets (just ask Joe Camel). But the FACT of their power and their main institutions most definitely are very visible indeed.

The whole notion of hidden powers controlling the world has long been used by those who hold REAL power to distract attention and shift blame away from them. This is especially true of 2nd rate, local elites who mercilessly exploit the people under their control. First the Jews, and then the bourgoise supporters of the Enlightenment were attacked by the conservative aristocracy and their supporters in the Church. These are the modern historical roots of this sort of conspiracism (it goes back even further to the Dark Ages and before, but not in the modern form). This link takes you to a site where these ancient anti-Semetic and anti-Modernist myths are recycled as if they're the latest news.

Reality check for those in denial.

by John Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2001 at 5:45 AM



Anyone who believes the conspiracy theories are just too far fetched needs to get a grip on REALITY. Here is an atricle published by abc News in May of 2001. Read it if you think you can handle the truth.
