Why does Wickefire (an AFFILIATE MARKETING (aka bullshit people) forum) have so many conspiracy theorists? I don't really get it. If anything, AM has finely tuned my bullshit monitor.
I've oft pondered this quandry myself.
Here's how I see it: When you're not yet smart/informed/worldly enough to see the conspiracies for what they are yet, they are too numerous and difficult to get your head around yet so it's easiest just to write them all off together as "that conspiracy theory crap."
It's like group denial. Society shows us (and the media confirms, of course) that group denial is "healthy" herd mentality.
The fact that most people are so logically-challenged that they believe in gods illustrates that the masses just aren't up for the logic processing it takes to see the truth. You gotta get smarter than that and learn to shun the herd.
Only when you take the time to dig deeper per issue and use Occham's Razor or better yet the scientific method on such issues will you start to believe in these 'conspiracy theories.'
If somebody cures cancer, it will not be suppressed by "big pharma companies that control the world".
Who did you say you worked for again? P&G? Merck? GTFO.
They obviously can't control the whole world of course, but you're a fool and a sheep if you don't think they control enough of the worlds' government through bribes to make the climate better to sell their drugs in.
If somebody finds an actual cure for cancer, why the fuck wouldn't a billionaire philanthropist (Bill Gates) invest millions into it? Is Bill Gates controlled by any pharma company that he could buy if he wanted?
There are so many good reasons for this I don't know where to start... How about one of these, off the top of my head:
*Gates' interests lie elsewhere
*The real cure never crosses Gates' path
*Too many fakes in the past have burnt gates' opinion of the whole feild
*Gates is a patient himself of a genuine cure and is told he can't reveal it.
...I really could go on, both for reasons that include and have nothing to do with conspiracies.
Jesus people. Cancer hasn't been cured. When it has, everyone will know.
Like everyone knew about GM's electric car back in the 1980s?
Like everyone knew that Only Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK?
Like everyone knows everything the media tells them that happens to turn out wrong later on?
Just the proposed cancer cures that have been mentioned in STS here alone should be enough evidence to anyone with a good noggin on their shoulders to cast serious light on big pharma's control of the landscape. Don't even get me started on Documentaries. There must be over a thousand good, solid cure-for-cancer docs out there that can't possibly all be wrong.
Just use Occham's razor on the situation:
Is it more likely that hundreds or even thousands of cures that have made it through testing with positive results were all totally bogus and couldn't even be improved on to eventually make work after many decades now?
Or is it more likely that the organization that has their people in Washington have found a way to affect the laws just enough to ensure that the FDA won't approve any of those "cures" so their FAR-more-profitable treatments can be sold to this huge, profitable market instead?
Keep in mind that it's a well-known fact that most US FDA heads were former Big Pharma execs, and big pharma is perennially a top-10 campaign supporter for legislators, especially on the health committees!
C'Mon now, which is more likely?
