Conspiracies Abound

If you look on the Fortean Times forums under Conspiracy there are currently 1409 topics. Quite amazing really just makes you wonder how many of those topics are actually genuine and I'm not limiting this to the FT either.

Lets look at some of the possibilities shall we:

1. Hoaxes either for fun or to drive market stocks/shares up or down
2. Heard from a friend of a friend
3. Disinformation by a company and/or government
4. Adverts for the next blockbuster
5. Science thought to be controlled by dark forces...
6. Every secret society ever (obviously not that secret)
7. Anyone famous, were they killed?
8. Lets us not forget Godwin's Rule
9. Fiction seen as Fact
10. Genuine article

And the problem with that genuine article is that it is still a theory based upon hopefully common sense reasoning and maybe some facts that normally fail to prove anything definite otherwise it wouldn't a be theory.

For any theory it should about making the theory fit the facts and not the other way. Scientists discovering that the universe was missing some matter because it didn't fit into observable results invented Dark Matter so everything fitted together again. This is a well accepted theory, it however smacks of changing the facts to fit the theory. Why do I bring this up, because human nature is the same the world over we love stories and inventing facts to fit our theories, but then I'm generalising like I always do.

Mammoth Conspiracy

Time to go off at a tangent just had some data come in from an old but reliable source. Apparently something happened on the night of February 9^th here in the northern hemisphere which everybody seems to have forgotten about me included.

My source tells me there has been a big cover up about that night. Whatever happened its origin was somewhere in the cambrian mountains. I'm told that private investigator was involved who my source and I have failed to find so far. The only other thing that has cropped up regarding this conspiracy is the number: 729.

I expect you are wondering how my source got hold of this info, well I'm thinking the same thing and guess what he has vanished off the grid.

Life just got interesting again.

Farming Changed Everything!

Time for a brief history lesson, lets go back a bit further before advent of the 'R' word towards the end of the last ice age which on the calendar is called the Mesolithic (2) period when mankind were hunter gathers eating meat, fish and living as part of nature not shaping it. The population was low purely because there wasn't enough food to go around. They had domesticated the dog for hunting as well.

At this point in the planet's history the land is warming up and changes in the environment is changing mankind's behaviour. For instance the first known battle occurred at Cemetery 117, what they were fighting about is a complete mystery.

Scrolling forward a few thousand years we come to the Neolithic period which is really the beginning of the end of living with nature. This is the age of farming, now we are shaping the land to suit us. The population increases because there is more food, people are staying in one place and the concept of ownership rears its ugly head.

Aside from the changes in technology nothing really has changed since. Mankind lost it connection to nature when they became farmers and started adapting the land to suit themselves. This change in behaviour is one of the causes of every major war in history, as the population grows you need more land. One of the other causes is of course one's belief structure which oddly enough is closely connected to needing more land. Man's needs are quite simple really, we are three meals away from anarchy no truer word has spoken of the western world. If we were still hunter gathers living with nature then would the world be a better place?!?

Mob Control

Lets come back to the Roman Emperor Constantine who must of realised that Christianity was a better religious doctrine to control the masses than any previous religions before it. Especially since empowered Man over Woman, the previous pagan religions were all about the women having all the power, mother Earth and so forth.

Historically religion has always been used as a tool to get the mob to do what the leaders want. And religion doesn't have to be about believing in God, just look at Nazi Germany and fanatical belief structure that came out of that regime. It is always been about controlling the masses in full view of the public and we the public let them do it.

Lost in Translation

Before I go deeper into this point lets us go back to the very beginnings of the one true god. During the early 17^th Century when the throne passed from the Tudors to the Stuarts, James 1^st instigated the translation of the Bible into a single English version although it wasn’t original his idea. John Reynolds of Corpus Christi College put forth the idea. We know this version as the King James I Bible, now the problem with any translation and it is still true of today languages that there always is something lost in the translation. John Reynolds himself stated: “…because those which were allowed in the reigns of Henry the eighth, and Edward the sixth, were corrupt and not answerable to the truth of the Original." The problem being which original are we talking about, how many times has the Bible has it been translated?

Lets us assume for the moment that the King James I Bible is and the please excuse the pun, the God’s honest truth. At the beginning of Genesis:

"27": So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Now if we take this sentence to be the literal truth and follow it to its logical conclusion then God looks like man but what if we take it little be further and say that man is just a copy of God. This means of course that all the bad things that make up man also make up God, which in turn means God is flawed. Skipping forward slightly to the time of Moses we discover that God has forsaken most of his creations and chosen a race of people who still conform to his way of thinking. Therefore God is effectively prejudice against the bulk of his own creation and in so doing invented some racist values which still hold true today. The Old Testament paints God as a super-being that is bad tempered and gets extremely annoyed when his own creations start thinking for themselves. The New Testament paints the complete reverse that God loves us all even ones thinking for themselves and realising that God is no longer required if he ever was.  Which would of course prove that God is just as flawed as the rest of us.

The 'R' Word

From the point of view of western civilisation the only religion that matters is Christianity. I find it curious that out all of religions in the world today that a historically small and minor religious sect should end up with so much control over human affairs. What was it about this sect that the Roman Emperor Constantine saw to his advantage? By the fourth century AD Christianity was the state religion and anything else was pure heresy. Much blood spilt there after and still is steeped in it by people spreading the good word. Religion creates prejudices but then I'm generalising like I always do. I have no problem with people believing in an higher power the problem is all the pointless rituals that surrounds a fair proportion of these faiths and their constant basic intolerance to everyone else who doesn't believe as they do.

Good vs Evil

I find it odd that good eventfully triumphs over the evil in this world of ours at least so far in our history, it may take sometime but it does. I can already hear people saying that is just so much nonsense and that all you have to do is look the world crime statistics but I’m not talking about the present day I’m talking about past events. Although I do admit crime is ever present in our society. Most people will argue that man is generally a good guy and because there are more good guys than bad ones they are eventually overwhelmed by pure numbers. A quite a good argument except for the obvious flaw that our concepts of good and bad are based traditionally one thing alone. A thing which, I think has enslaved us from the very start, if you haven’t already guessed I am of course talking about religion.

Cliff Hangers Continued

You have only to look at recent history to prove the point, for example the Cuban Missile Crisis surely the ultimate in cliff-hangers if I ever saw one. The world literally held its breadth at that point. Now I remember exactly what I was doing when someone flew two Jumbo-Jets into the World Trade Center and I am sure many Americans that were alive at the time remember exactly what they were doing when JFK was killed. I almost remember thinking later that day when I watched live on TV the twin towers falling apart before my eyes ‘I can’t believe this is happening it doesn’t seem real at all’. I was not unsurprisingly quite shocked by the whole event but I days later I did wonder at its timing. I hear you cry ‘he’s a nut’ well maybe you are right or maybe you have to be a nut just to put these feelings into words.

Cliff Hangers

Most people know the basics to human history you could ask average man in the street and I am sure that the even the broadest outline would be given. But when think about our entire history it makes you wonder whether our history has in fact actually been staged managed from the very beginning. I know this all sounds very conspiracy theorists and I suspect you are all asking for my evidence. I wouldn’t say that have any solid evidence just a serious of questions about history as a whole. They say that true life is stranger than fiction well you couldn’t have said a truer word when history is stuffed full of cliff-hangers, violence and drama.

Delusions of History

Lets see I am some thirty-four year of ages and when I think about it, my existence is quite insignificant compared to the millennia that has gone before. Even if I live to be a hundred it still wouldn’t be a particularly a long time in the scheme of things. It is odd how unreal the history of mankind seems sometimes, now I know events in history have happen but because I wasn’t there to witness them personally it makes them somewhat less true at least in my eyes.
