Misinformation is a classic tool of the controlling NWO. The very term “conspiracy theory” has been successfully, and irrevocably, linked with crazy/nutjob/lunatic/etc. By doing so, the public can comfortably discredit a theory as a conspiracy nutjob’s imaginings, and thereby ignore the truth behind the veil.
Now, of course some theories are ludicrous, and the fabrication of the minds of the paranoid. However, by creating a category of “conspiracy theory,” the powers that be are able to preemptively discredit any and all of these theories.
This article serves to perpetuate that very same belief. By lumping all these theories together, some ludicrous, some not, the public can associate all the theories, and thereby write them all off. It is a classic example of the age old tool.
