This is a short post about two sad cruel events that happened on an April 19.

“When a responsible agent is not easily discernible, that sense that something is still deliberate endures, and you are left wondering, “Well, who caused it, then?” You fill in the blanks.
Conspiracy theories are a contemporary mythology, not unlike the Greek gods. Everything that happens has a reason, and the gods affect the course of human events through direct intervention.
The ill-defined “they,” whether referring to the U.N., CIA, international bankers, Jews or interdimensional shapeshifting reptilian space aliens living in the hollowed-out artificial moon (yeah, it’s a real one), really seem to me to be a secular version of religious mythology.
On the other side, when you are already convinced that agents are working to manipulate world events, people tend to seek out information that reinforces what they already believe.
It’s a tendency called confirmation bias, and it is a sort of perceptual filter for what you accept as evidence.
Even the apparent clustering of events, in itself, can serve as evidence for someone who is looking for things to confirm their worldview, and allows the conspiracy theorist to discount reams of information that directly refute that belief.
Each human brain comes equipped with a whole series of generally useful shortcuts to help us make sense of the immense amount of information that we have to process everyday.
Conspiracy theories, I suspect, are simply an interesting (occasionally dangerous) byproduct of those mental shortcuts. “
All this is a way to influence your thinking that if you don’t accept a mainstream “data” and you look for info somewhere else, you’re at least weird, if not dangerous. The theoretician and “conspiracy expert” Robert Blaskiewicz refers almost joking to David Icke’s reptilian shape shifting theory.
A lot of people don’t think anymore that Bin Laden was the behind 9/11 events. No one can be sure of that, no normal one, I mean. No regular one. Remember Waco Massacre and Oklahoma Bombing! Both are smelling of human sacrifice for Walpurgisnacht!
