Conspiracy Theory Case Study - Global Elite Wants to Remove Two Thirds of the Population

If you are one to enjoy conspiracy theories, perhaps you listen to late-night radio. For a number of years I had done this while traveling around the country because I enjoyed driving at night when there was no traffic. I would simply turn on the late-night radio, and listen to whatever tall tales and conspiracy theories they could come up with. Interestingly enough, most of them are plausibly deniable, and some of these crazy stories may actually be true, or at least parts of them are true enough to keep the natives restless. Okay so, let's talk about one of these conspiratorial stories as a case study.

Perhaps you've heard that conspiracy that "The New World Order" is going to take over the world, and a group of elites, billionaires, and the proverbial Rothschild family, and all of these sorts of folks are planning the demise of billions of people on the planet. Because they say there are too many humans, too many mouths to feed, and all those people simply aren't needed. Well, when you take apart a conspiracy theory, you have to look at all the evidence, and try to reason if it even makes sense. And you have to decide who gains by such an action, and who loses.

Now then, if there are fewer people in the world, then we don't need as much production capacity, we don't need as many people working, and therefore all those people aren't needed. Question is what to do with them. You could wait a few generations, and see that they don't have so many offspring, or you can find ways to see their early demise perhaps from disease, lack of food, war, or some cataclysmic event. Mother Nature has done a good job that wiping out scores of people, but not on the scale it would take to get rid of let's say two thirds of the population which is how this conspiracy theory plays it.

Now then, the reality is that human beings are a pretty resilient species, and they're pretty hard to get rid of. It's hard to kill them off by disease, and they seem to be smart enough not to let wars get too far out of hand or kill too many people. World War II killed a significant number of people, but compared to the number of people on the planet, well, not so much. Bird Flu could be significant, if it were custom tailored for the most ruthless of pandemics, but humans again are pretty smart, and would probably rise to the occasion with the production of massive numbers of vaccine kits. Then logistically, they find a way to get them to each and every person, and therefore stop it pretty quick. Yes, it could kill a significant number of people, but you'd be surprised, as humans adapt quite quickly, their bodies are incredible, and they just aren't easy to get rid of.

Further, in looking at this conspiracy theory you have to ask yourself if it makes sense. If the global elite can control more people, there will be a more abundance for them at the top, and more production and economic activity as well. They stand to gain by expansion of the balloon or pie, as they will always hold a greater percentage. Therefore, this particular conspiracy theory doesn't really make any sense. Thus, it probably fails. So it's time you came up with a better one. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on.

Controlled Disclosures of the UFO Cover-Up: Part 2

How Much Does the Government Really Know?

Does our government actually know a lot more about the UFO phenomenon than we think, or are we just under the illusion that they know? And has the government instigated cover-ups because they know too much, or because they know too little? Are they trying to hide the fact that they're just as much in the dark as we are?

Perhaps the government is slow in releasing information to "we the public" because they don't have all the facts either. But they most likely have more than us. So either way, they are several steps ahead of us. Even when they begin to release material to the public according to the Freedom of Information Act, little by little, how much of this is still disinformation? Will they ever let us know the truth, and especially the truth of how much they really know?

As much as the government and its branches don't want us to know anything about the UFO issue, likewise, it's questionable how much they really know. Our government is supposed to be brimming with "Intelligence," but most likely that's a false assumption. If they had all this wonderful intelligence information, the government could have prevented the 9/11 catastrophe. I suspect the aliens figure there's no real intelligent life down here on Earth. Perhaps the government is too paranoid for its own good, and it fears that the extraterrestrials are hostile, and so our trusted leaders are trying to protect us. But it might be possible these extraterrestrials aren't really hostile, but they're just overly curious about us human beings, and life on Earth in general, so we perceive them as being intruders, especially when you consider alien abductions and strange implants and cattle mutilations and so forth.

Although people survived the 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio scare, when many citizens actually thought we were being invaded by Martians, I believe we have been desensitized enough over the years, and especially ever since we became more fully aware of an ET presence here due to the famous Roswell crash of 1947. Therefore, if we ever do experience what science fiction writers call "First Contact," we have at least sixty years preparation behind us. Let's just hope the hostile alien invasion scenario remains with science fiction, because I'd rather we have friendly contact. But if you remember the "V" miniseries on TV, and its new remake, mankind experienced first contact in a very friendly way, but it turned out to be a deception, for the aliens actually had evil ulterior motives. Besides, they were creepy reptilian creatures wearing human skin suits! Then there's the old Twilight Zone episode "To Serve Man," and once again we have friendly aliens offering us world peace and other wondrous things, but when people filed into the alien ships to visit the "friendly world," they were in effect being taken to an alien restaurant to be eaten. You see, the aliens had a cryptic book called "How To Serve Man," that cryptologists were trying to decipher. As you might guess, at the end of the episode, they discovered it was a cookbook. Yeah... ha ha...

Of course, there has been the onslaught of alien invasion movies as well, such as Independence Day, Mars Attacks, and the old War of the Worlds movie, and its remake versions, to name a few. Those are enough to make us fear aliens, to become paranoid that they just might invade our planet. But if that's the case, why haven't they done so yet? It's quite possible they're just on an exploratory mission, observing us from afar. But there are also science fiction stories that suggest we are on the verge of self-annihilation, and that the aliens will either let us destroy ourselves, or help push us over the edge, or they'll destroy us first since we're a disruptive species. Or more benevolent aliens might intercede and help us get out of our destructive rut, via some form of first contact. But we really don't know the truth. Not yet.

So, what do those pesky aliens really want with us anyway? And is our government doing something about it?
