Conspiracies, What Are They ?

[Redbaron]

Thanks for the recommendation ...

You should yourself watch this VERY Well Researched Federal Reserve Documentary done in 2014.

It takes the "theory" out of the "conspiracy theory" of the Federal Reserve.

TRANSCRIPT AND RESOURCES: http://www.corbettreport.com/federalr...

But Perhaps you all-ready know the answers to these questions:

What is the Federal Reserve system?
How did it come into existence?
Is it part of the federal government?
How does it create money?

In this feature-length documentary film, The Corbett Report explores these important question and pulls back the curtain on America's central bank.

If, by this time, you can't distinguish between 'well-researched' things that legitimate scientists and journalists do, and 'deep dirt digging and mud slingiung' that right-wingnut conspiracy mongers like 'The Corbett Report' do, maybe you should go reread that article I shared some months back. That is, assuming you actually care about things like learning, truth and reality.

IS coming from/ being promoted by the conspiracy theorist camp that’s feverishly distracted by the latest Bill Gates conspiracy.

You keep flinging those words around ... I am not distracted by listening to the facts ... Bill Gates has a history ... you can not dismiss his whole history because some people call it a conspiracy theory. I am not distracted by the conspiracy theory ... I am outraged by the factual evidence that he is either very naive or very evil and he should not be allowed to intervene billy willy in the whole world's medical protocols just because he has the 'power' behind him to do so. I question his motives ... no one in the world hoards that amount of wealth and gets to call themselves a humanitarian - so why does he do it?

That is, assuming you actually care about things like learning, truth and reality.

So your answer is ... I will not look at the videos or the transcripts or the 'The Corbet Report' because I am not allowed to make up my own mind based on the information ... your mind has been made up for you ... by the well funded legitimate scientists and journalists ... because if it is not bought and paid for by your legitimate sponsors ... it is and can only be conspiracy mug slinging. I am sorry @Redbaron you have done nothing to dissuade me from the 'real' journalists ... the ones that actually do look for the truth and not the security of a lucrative endorsement from the social engineers.

 

[Ritafee]

That is, assuming you actually care about things like learning, truth and reality.

So you have the handle on learning, truth and reality ... as censored by your handlers ... so I must ... if I really care ... agree to your censorship of everyone that does not fall into step with the official narrative. Julian Assange Snowden and Chelsea Manning are rightfully exiled or imprisoned to protect your learned truth and reality from scrutiny by your own standards then?

As you wish. Just be advised, though, that when you read and hear about youth being 'radicalized' by what they see in the internet, the kind of stuff they are radicalized by is EXACTLY the same kind of stuff you read, and proceed to post here.

And that my friend is your parroting of your confirmation bias which you don't bother to read but post here anyway because you have been radicalized in that direction EXACTLY by what you proceed to post here without even reading it first.

James Corbett.

An award-winning investigative journalist, James Corbett has lectured on geopolitics at the University of Groningen’s Studium Generale, and delivered presentations on open source journalism at The French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation’s fOSSa conference, at TedXGroningen and at Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto.

He started The Corbett Report website in 2007 as an outlet for independent critical analysis of politics, society, history, and economics. Since then he has written, recorded and edited thousands of hours of audio and video media for the website, including a podcast and several regular online video series.

For more information about Corbett and his background, please watch the “Who is James Corbett” edition of the Questions For Corbett podcast:

Or not ... you could just continue your mindlessly radicalized character assignation of him based on ... what?

@rita if you were thinking for yourself you wouldn’t be pulled into believing half the stuff you do.

 

[Ritafee]

Who says I'm unquestionably compliant? My not fully agreeing with you or buying into your theory does not mean I am part of any collective.

I did not say you were unquestionably compliant? You are questionably compliant but refuse to answer questions on why you continue to comply with a systematic quashing of freedom of choice for those who will not voluntarily comply with your choices. I am not the one denying your freedom of choice ... I am not the one condoning punitive damage by way of legalized terrorism against my fellow humans for disagreeing with me ... can you say the same?

 

[BetteTheRed]

Rita, what do you think of the media bias site that was referenced? It pointed out some clear errors in the Corbett Report. This same media bias site finds the CBC and the BBC as slightly left-biased, but highly factual.

You are questionably compliant but refuse to answer questions on why you continue to comply with a systematic quashing of freedom of choice for those who will not voluntarily comply with your choices.

Well, the fallacy of this statement is the assumption there is a systematic quashing of freedom of choice. If you will recall, I said that I have the choice to maintain my distance from you if I don't trust your choices or if feel unsafe for some reason when around you. Fortunately that's easy to do.

I have in no way told you what to believe. I just don't agree with many of your premises.

I am not the one condoning punitive damage by way of legalized terrorism against my fellow humans for disagreeing with me ... can you say the same?

Legalized terrorism? Really? So, if we disagree with you it's somehow a terrorist act?

That is not an answer ... by what measure are they a respected media bias analysis site?
We’ve all come across online fact checkers that purport to warn us away from independent media sites under the guise of protecting us from fake news. But who is behind these fact check sites? How do they operate? And if these ham-fisted attempts at soft censorship aren’t the solution to online misinformation, what is? Join James for this week’s important edition of The Corbett Report podcast, where we explore the murky world of information gatekeeping and ask “Who will fact check the fact checkers?”

You can disagree with me all you want ... when you start legalizing your point of view and criminalizing mine ... that is terrorism.

 

[BetteTheRed]

But, we're talking about real things, like wearing masks, and quarantining.

How are these different than seat belt and drunk driving rules?

No one is suggesting criminalizing any thoughts, or even speech. Just don't go grocery shopping without a mask. Like you wouldn't have, a year ago, without shoes or a shirt, using a skateboard, or bringing in a non-licensed dog.

 

[Northwind]

You can disagree with me all you want ... when you start legalizing your point of view and criminalizing mine ... that is terrorism.

And how has your point of view been criminalized?

After analyzing more than 118 low- and middle-income countries, the researchers warned that disruptions from Covid-19 response could endanger millions of families. Four out of five people affected live across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, with children up to five years old most at risk.


Guess this must be a conspiracy theory because it is on rt.com ...

The lockdowns and other pandemic mitigation measures could result in “life-long impacts on education, chronic disease risks, and overall human capital formation,” as well as “intergenerational consequences for child growth and development.”

Moreover, the estimates presented are “likely to be conservative, given that the duration of this crisis is unknown, and its full impacts on food, health, and social protection systems are yet to be realized,” the study warns.

While the continued lockdowns amount to a matter of life and death in poorer countries, the question is no less contentious in wealthier nations, where it has become fiercely politicized.

In the US, for example, the Republican administration is pushing for reopening the schools, saying that Covid-19 is far less dangerous to children than seasonal flu and pointing to research that says developmental, psychological and even physical damage will be worse. However, the opposition Democrats have lined up behind the teachers’ unions, who insist that reopening schools would put their members in danger.

The leaders of four major international agencies — including UNICEF, the World Food Program, and the the World Health Organization — are calling for restrictions to be eased. “By having schools closed, by having primary health care services disrupted, by having nutritional programs dysfunctional, we are also creating harm,” said Victor Aguayo, the head of UNICEF’s nutrition program.
And it’s not just the effect of local shutdowns. Restrictions on retail and industry in one country can wreak havoc halfway around the world where parts and products are sourced from. Even low and middle income nations that ease their restrictions on industry still suffer because they have nowhere to sell their goods.
The rise in child deaths worldwide would reverse global progress for the first time in decades. Deaths of children younger than 5, most due to undernutrition, had declined steadily since 1980, to 5.3 million in 2018.

The Lancet paper blames the “increase in child malnutrition” on “steep declines in household incomes, changes in the availability and affordability of nutritious foods, and interruptions to health, nutrition, and social protection services.”

The International Food Policy Research Institute estimates that the pandemic will throw 140 million people into extreme poverty (less than $1.90/day) this year, and the number of people in poor and developing countries facing food insecurity will double to 265 million.


While the Lancet study doesn’t provide a cost benefit analysis of the lockdowns, 10,000 deaths of children alone per month, 140 million falling into extreme poverty, and 132.5 million people becoming food insecure unquestionably reduces any net benefit of them… to put it mildly.


Meanwhile here at home we are still trying to figure out how to stretch “fifteen days to stop the spread” to how can we best punish the selfish people not willing to hypocritically ignore reality and virtue signal how much they care for others by complying with ridiculous placebo rituals that do more harm than good ... to put it mildly.

There are assorted persons collaborating in the securing of power. This defined by Thomas Hobbes as the “restless striving of power seeking power.” That obtained power trumping ethics and leading to corruption.

Power elevates the few at the expense of the many. This pattern is pervasive in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is clearly portrayed in the murder of Jesus by political power endorsed by religious authority. Socrates makes it clear that standing up for truth in the public square makes one liable to resistance from the State.

In the light of history I clearly see persons of power conspiring to rule our world.

This has probably been happening for some time. I am concerned though at how the pandemic is being used in this endeavor. It's certainly blatant south of us. I'm sure it's happening here in a more subtle fashion.

It's 'just' a face mask.
