“ You talk about ‘conspiracy theories’? This is the real McCoy and the grandaddy of all ‘conspiracy theories’. This is what the term ‘conspiracy theory’ was intended to keep from people knowing.”

The Clinton body count was a Conspiracy Theory I believed and still do.

I call it a Conspiracy Theory because that’s it’s “birth” class.

The people involved in the Wuhan Lab (in my opinion) never reached the “Conspiracy Theory” level.

Many people like myself knew damn well Covid-19 came out of that lab somehow.

I didn’t know Google’s involvement, but we knew early on the virus was showing signs of being tweaked.

I had an ultra liberal kin in-law call me a conspiracy theorist for suggesting the virus came from the Wuhan Lab.
That didn’t bother me……..when he called me a racist and told me to F-off………….he’s off my Hanukkah/Christmas card list now.

I guess what I’m saying is “Conspiracy Theorist or Theory” seems to bother some people here but it doesn’t bother me. So that’s it.

“Conspiracy Theory” doesn’t bother me either since it’s just another way of saying ‘speculation.’ In the cases we’re talking about it’s ‘informed speculation.’

Throwing the pejorative, “conspiracy theory” is just another way to shut down dialogue and discovery. Similar to calling someone “racist”, “flat earther”, “right winger”, “extremist”, etc.

Oh, being called one doesn't bother me, per se. But what the calling of it DOES, bothers me.

What it does is consign TRUTHFUL information and honest conjecture into some weird, hillbilly, National Enquirer pits of ridicule and unbelievability for those incapable of unwilling to find things out for themselves

Its a dismissive term, just like your derp in-law calling you a 'racist' is. You know you're not a racist, just like you know you're not a conspiracy theorist (whatever that means). But him calling you those names dehumanizes you and turns you into a joke to the rest of the world (the matrix dwelling portion, that is).

That is its intended purpose and it has worked well for them lo these many years, and THAT bothers me. That people buy into that. That CIA inspired tactic has sufficed to tamp down many truths over these past decades and has allowed the derps to get away with what they have gotten away with to date. And that is a very large number.

People just have to abandon that phrase and see it for what it is. Let's start with people here on FreeRepublic.com, which should be the heart of the derp resistance.

Shall we?
