They're shutting down HAARP, so that's one less thing controlling your mind. Or maybe that's what they want you to think.

Like, how is 'you can, at any moment, be slain by false-flag operations by the US Government' any different in a practical sense from 'you can, at any moment, be slain by Islamic terrorists.'? The conspiracy is something still in-progress and still ineffable so how is it alleviating fear? Whether the conspiracy is being plotted by terrorists half a world away or by shadowy cabals within the government, what's it matter? In both cases it's a conspiracy that is for all intents and purposes so beyond your ability to influence or prevent that it's no different than random chance?

I think the thought process bases itself around you can follow the government, you can likely see signs it is gonna happen because you were smart enough to know about it in the first place, and the government represents power and authority so obviously they target those who need to be targeted for 'x' reason whereas terrorists can be a group or a single person that have no power and are completely random and unknown.

The Illuminati send all kinds of crazy messages that way. For example, Jet Li and Adam Sandler have been encoding secret messages in their movies telling me how to build a cold fusion device. Very clever.

You can't parody these things, it's impossible. It's safest to assume they're all real, cause even the parodies are real for someone.

Any conspiracy theory that doesn't have Kissinger is a pretty half-assed one. He's probably the guy who gets most excited about Bohemian Grove.

Considering you can find Freepers that intentionally post misspelled words to try and avoid government internet scanners, or whatever the gently caress that line of crazy thinking is, I'd have to say it's 50/50 for intentional or not.

There's got to be a market for a movie that demonstrates how to create a conspiracy theory out of whole cloth. They could use "Paul Walker was killed by the CIA" as an example.

A little off-topic, but if you haven't already, you have got to see The Manchurian Candidate, the original, with Frank Sinatra and Angela Bassett Lansbury. It's not about "how" to create a conspiracy theory, but it's sort of an ur-text for modern American conspiracy theories and should be required viewing for anyone interested in them. You'll be thinking "hey, that sounds just like that theory about..." throughout the whole movie.

edit: thanks Mr. Funny Pants, I was tired.

Basset's on the downhill slide to sixty. She's still younger than Lansbury, but she's getting pretty close to the point where the prefix "young" becomes ironic. She is still black, though.
