It doesn't have to be a dark, smokey room type conspiracy to be a conspiracy.

Conspiracy, according to Webster's is...

the act of conspiring together

Conspiring, according to Webster's is...

1. to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of the secret agreement
2. to act in harmony toward a common end

See, it doesn't have to be "secret", or even unlawful, to be a conspiracy. It can just be groups of people working together to achieve a goal. Like the Council on Foreign Relations, for example. I have a buddy who thinks I'm some sort of "kook" every time I mention the CFR. Well, actually he's a good friend, so he doesn't say that. But... we'll be having a rational intelligent debate about the condition of our nation, and when I mention the CFR and their influence on our government, he says, "Yeah, but if you keep talking like that, people are just going to think your a conspiracy theorist." I tell him that I don't really care first of all... then I ask him why he thinks that. He tells me, "Well, all those crazy conspiracy people bring up the CFR, the Illuminatti, the Bilderberg Group when they talk about their outlandish ideas that the government is under someone else's control, and that these "secret" groups influence our governments policies."

So, I asked him, "How many of our recent presidents have been CFR members? He said, "All of them." I then asked him, "How many other high level members of our government have been CFR members?" He said, "A lot of them." So I asked him, "How about the Bilderbergs?" He said, "Same thing."

So, my next question was...

"How can you say then that these groups don't affect our government's policies?? All of our government's leaders come from these groups!!"

Then he talks about the CFR just being a "think-tank" and that they don't have any real power over policy. I explained that he may be right, that they don't sit around and go, "Ok, so next we need to get the government to do this..." It's more like they have their meetings and writings and speeches, supposedly all toward their common goals of making relations better between nations in a global environment... but being that they are mostly wealthy owners of international corporations... their "common goals" are not always the same goals as every day American's goals for our country. Their intentions may seem good, but their goals are to make sure they get to exploit the world's resources, people, and laws to make sure they get more money and power for their corporations, and removal of the laws that hold their corporations back.

See, the elite don't have to get together in secret with secret handshakes and rituals in order to "conspire" to do the things they do. I mean if I owned a multi-billion dollar, international corporation who's headquarters was in the U.S., I'd want to be able to hire cheap labor from other countries, move my material across the globe with few restrictions, and not to have to deal with a lot of laws to protect the environment.

What people don't realize is that these people are GLOBALISTS. They want a more global environment so they can make more money. They aren't concerned with the U.S., persay. They are more concerned with their corporation's success, than the success of the US of A.

That's my 2 cents.

P.S. I still think that some of them do meet in secret. A small "in the know" group that works together to plan the agenda. But don't tell anyone... I don't want to come across as a "kook".

Just kidding. I really don't care what other people think. Most of them are blind, conforming sheeple.

But its worth adding that even if it were true that JD rockefeller was sitting in his office like Montgomery Burns, plotting about how he was going to block out the sun, we would not win by yelling at him from across the street with a megaphone - "I see what you are doing JD Rockelfellar."

The way to win is to go back to the idea of the constitution, and individual liberty, and sound money. The real problem is that most people need to be reeducated about how this works. People used to be embarrased to receive charity, now they line up for free Cheese, mugging for the cameras. 1 in 10 men (1 in 3 black men) are in prison - what does that fact say about society. There is your fight. 1 in 6 soldiers from Iraq with PTSD - there's your fight.

it also bears saying that people are entitled to their opinions and may see or hear the same information and come to a different conclusion. It doesn't make one crazy and the other not just because the perceive different answers from the same information. IMO if you cannot disagree in a respectful way, then don't say anything back. Move on to the next post that interests you and ignore the ones that do not. Telling people that have been researching different topics for years that they are imbeciles just because your experience shows something different than theirs is insulting and counter productive.

We are fighting for our freedom here. We are fighting to get Ron Paul elected so that we are FREE to have an opinion even if it disagrees with everyone else in the entire world.

We are still (at least right now) entitled to it.

But for God's sake do it respectfully without calling eachother names and insulting. Fighting (especially over the internet) is pointless and silly.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't a conspiracy.... right?

So what? Get over it.
