The primary tool of the conspiracy is misdirection.
And the main part of this is dichotomy.
We are programmed for this: left and right, up and down, male and female. It is natural, then, to assume the same is true in all things: love and hate, God and Satan, rich and poor, right and wrong.
Unfortunately, it is not entirely correct. God created Satan so I cannot conceive they could possibly be nearly equal, despite what the Christian faith may teach. And if love has an opposite, it is indifference, not hate.
But how is this a tool for the conspiracy? It directs one’s interest in the wrong direction. If you are for something, they claim, then you must be against its “opposite”. That may sound right at first read but it really does not stand up to serious examination. I mean a lot of people are just “for” things. But it does pit a lot of people’s energies in the wrong direction.
Another tool, joining other groups. This one is the major tool they use. They joined the Templars and the Masons and now most people consider those two groups WERE the conspiracy.
Misdirection with information has also been very useful.
In the JFK assassination investigation, someone quickly came up with the notion that Oswald could not have fired that gun so quickly as to fire the three shots. Others, unwittingly, joined the chorus.
Unfortunately, a gun expert proved how easily Oswald could have done it in the time allotted.
Another said Oswald could not have walked the route he took in so short a time. Many of the CT crowd jumped on that bandwagon as well.
Again, tests on the spot proved it done quite easily.
When the test results were displayed, the media was able to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” – a trait we humans are apt to do – and label the conspiracy theorists as a bunch of kooks.
So, who brought up these two fallacious ideas? I don’t know exactly, but I assume it was minions of the conspiracy attempting to discredit the whole conspiracy theory community.
It may have been an error of the CT people to repeat accusations they could not prove but it does not mean the idea of the conspiracy is wrong. Still, it has discredited the whole concept in the public’s mind.
First, we need to check the facts before jumping on any new theories and, second, we need to double check the facts we do have (and nail them down really good before they somehow sprout legs and walk away) and, third, we have to quit accusing a bunch of different groups for being in on the fix. As with the Masons and Templars, the groups may have been around for a long time and just got conveniently large enough for their needs.
Due diligence is required, especially when someone who purports to be a Conspiracy Theorist comes up with THE damning piece of evidence. Keep that persons name foremost when promoting the idea so others can trace it back when the evidence goes pear shaped.
Understanding HOW they operate is to only way to stay on top of this thing.
