of aconspiracy(generally

term generally has a negativeconnotation,
implying that the appeal of a conspiracy theory is based in
prejudice, emotional conviction, or insufficient evidence.A

Today our
society is inundated with
individuals, government officials ,
religious leaders and individuals, corporate
officials, news agencies, bloggers,
podcasts and numerous other sources
bent on influencing, manipulating,
and even changing the way we think,
feel, pass laws, make policy, eat,
sleep and relate to one another!
Before the information age this was
done through rumors, that were
spread either by mouth or in writing. Today,
(without proof) conspiracy theories
are freely given and encouraged in
all areas of our society. Government
officials are creating policy and
laws,
businesses are altering products and
services, individuals are basing
their purchases, reporters are
including them in their stories and
our society as a whole is being
altered as a result. We as
individual must challenge them as
"theories and demand proof. Facts
should be demanded and evaluated.
never accept what is being presented
as absolute truth! Again Trust but
Verify!
"Where justice
is denied, where poverty is
enforced, where ignorance prevails,
and where any one class is made to
feel that society is and organized
conspiracy to oppress, rob and
degrade them, neither person nor
property will be safe"

conspiracy theorist, I'm a
