    As some may already know..

    Professor deHaven-Smith explains why people don’t like being called “conspiracy theorists”: The term was invented and put into wide circulation by the CIA to smear and defame people questioning the JFK assassination! “The CIA’s campaign to popularize the term ‘conspiracy theory’ and make conspiracy belief a target of ridicule and hostility must be credited, unfortunately, with being one of the most successful propaganda initiatives of all time.”




    I'll put up the declassified CIA documents saying about this when I get the chance to dig them out..

    I believe it's possible to take words back :D
    More and more news articles are coming out saying "looks like the conspiracy theorists were right". Sometimes with the word crazy in there. Soon the crazy word will not make sense in that context.
    And maybe it's possible conspiracy theorist will be a compliment instead of a veiled insult haha
    I take it as a compliment personally, because I am very happy with my journey so far. I have seen a massive amount of benefit fromthe research and only a fool would call me crazy in the traditional sense.
    To attempt to lower me in any wayby refering to me as a conspiracy theories, is simply to raise me up and label themselves as ignorant. Which leaves me with nothing todo with them lol Theydoallthe work by themselves.
    But by the time this happens(wth taking back this phrase), a new movemment/label will have been started to undermine dissent and critical questioning.

    I consider the New Age movement as another one of these tools for social conditioning.
