“Why people believe in conspiracy theories – and how to change their minds”

“The simple answer is that facts and rational arguments really aren’t very good at altering people’s beliefs. That’s because our rational brains are fitted with not-so-evolved evolutionary hard wiring. One of the reasons why conspiracy theories spring up with such regularity is due to our desire to impose structure on the world and incredible ability to recognize patterns.”

Always an argument to justify ones perspective. lets remember that the "conspiracy" "Gulf of Tonkin" and "US liberty" were real. This means, Hal, you are trying to justify a perspective that is easily proven false by anyone who can read a book about the history of those incidents. proof and facts are not on your side with the anti-conspiracy perspective.

Plus if conspiracies weren't real, we wouldn't have people in prison for the charge of "CONSPIRACY". Judges apparently think conspiracy is real, so do prosecutors and most other people.

I bet if it were a conspiracy to support your biased perspective, you would say it is as real as apple pie.

: -) : -)

I seldom try to justify much of anything.
I share items that I find interesting. I don't really care what others think of them.
If a person were of a mind to do so, they could sure burn up a lot time worrying about the opinions of anonymous internet commentators. That's time likely better spent readying things of interest.

I found these items to be of interest. Don’t really care if others do (or if they have problems with them).

I would read your links, Hal, except I believe all of those stories have been planted by the Bilderberg group for some nefarious purpose.

Gunnar, considering that the Bilderbergers are little more than a front for the Lizard Overlords, your concerns are understandable. Can a person be too cautious when it comes to shape-shifting, reptilian, power elites?

911 was an inside job perpetrated by Zionist/globalist bankers.

I never seen a plane crash with no plane wreckage before 911. However Hal and Gunner and the rest of the miles city liberals are the intellectuals, so they must be right. I bet the chief of police even justifies the official narrative of planes crashing into buildings, made them fall so he doesn't go against the grain.

There was no plane wreckage at the pentagon, or wtc towers, or in the field in Pennsylvania. the liberals that think 911 was a real attack are completely discredited by the fact that not one piece of wreckage from a plane was found. When planes crash, there are always plane parts found. The Columbia crash left parts strewn across Texas, but they were easily found. but not one piece from these planes that caused the US to go invade a nation. This lie was perpetrated to draw Russia,china,"BRICS" into a war.

911 was an inside job, your government thinks your idiots that will believe anything, just like the liberals here at MC.commie.

I never seen a plane crash with no plane wreckage before 911.

Yes, Danny, we all know you were on the ground inspecting the crash site in NYC, the Pentagon, and Shanksville just days after 9/11. No way were you reading conspiracy theories on the internet years after 2001.

Dear friends, critical thinking friends. I have grown weary, disappointed and disenfranchised as an American. I see no solution nor do I see any heroes on the horizon. as much as I appreciate your discourse and attempts at sanity, well, I'm leaving it all in your hands. The whole thing has grown too large for a Che, too stupid and greedy for a Gandhi, too unpatriotic for a Ho Chi Minh. Glenna has put her foot down as far any involvement on my part. Even as a socialist and atheist, I am too old and crippled to do anything, sooooooooo, Keep up the good fight.

Guns and Gold, it's good to know that you were at ground zero to inspect the forensic evidence. I feel so much better knowing that we have a definitive answer as well as the truth. I will sleep better knowing that a complete and total puck ed like you, are carrying the standard for dildos across the country. Oh, as a final thought, people don't talk about you, in front of you, as far as you know.

Never went to ground zero, never claimed to. There are plenty of pictures and videos of the wreckage site to be studied, and none of them have any plane parts in them.

911 was an inside job planned and carried out by Americans and Saudi Arabians, to protect the world petro dollar.

And let's not forget the "test run" that occured a few years prior to 9/11 when the lower deck parking area of the Wtc was bombed but failed to cause any collapse in the structure.

Once upon a time, I had a work-study job in the weed (knap, not mj) lab at MSU. Probably the most MIND NUMBING thing I've ever done, was taking little soil sample packets and separating out the knapweed seeds (which look like dirt) from the rest of the sample (which WAS dirt).

The only thing that kept me entertained and sane was listening to the Militia Of Montana's radio show, carried for probably a nominal fee on the totalitarian airwaves of MSU public radio.

Anyways, one day they had a noted expert on government malfeasance, one of the extras who was killed in the gatling gun scene of 'The Outlaw Josey Whales' - so you know he was an authority. He brought with him one of George Herbert Walker Bush's former MK Ultra assassins, who used to travel the world killing people for GHWB (and the pope, and perhaps the archbishop of Canterbury, although I don't remember now). Best show ever.

Queen Elizabeth is a cannibal. Yes, according to sources (including the prestigious InterNet), the Queen feeds on human flesh. Again, quoting sources, the Royals have, apparently, been doing so for quite some time.

One of the sources of this startling fact is the noted, exiled, historian Hubert Humdinger (no, his name is pronounced: hum-din-jer).

According to sources, Humdinger has authored over 300 books dealing with cultural phenomena and disinformation found in such mainstream fields as psychology, science, politics, and sociology. Interestingly enough, these books (367 to be exact) were all destroyed / burnt to cinders during the infamous Humdinger Purge.

Why were Humdinger’s books burnt to cinders? According to sources, the State Department determined that First Amendment did not apply to ideas as “frighteningly clear and creative as Humdinger’s.”

Shortly, or perhaps longly, after the Purge, Professor Humdinger fled into exile and is hiding in at an undisclosed location in Northern Europe. Where, according to sources, Humdinger “stubbornly” persists in remaining alive, “despite the legions of public and private officials who wish he’d finally give up the ghost.”
