The Voice of the White House
Washington, D.C. March 30, 2018:” The Internet is a wonderful thing; a highway for information and a great source of reference material. It is also, obviously, a breeding ground for eccentrics and outright lunatics of every stripe.
The so-called blogs are little better than private group therapy sessions for the frustrated, lonely and self-important and much of the alleged news being disseminated by them belongs, clearly, in a psychiatric journal or on a public lavatory wall, not a public forum.
In the dictionary meaning of ‘conspiracy theory’… every ‘explanation’ put forth (for an event in which more than one person is involved) is a ‘conspiracy theory’. Also, every ‘explanation’ will remain to be a theory until every significant point has been proved to be absolute truth.
Only then should one consider changing the label from theory to explanation. Alternative explanations which have not been proven to be impossible explanations… are not necessarily invalid theories.
Clearly the value of any particular conspiracy theory (e.g. its closeness to the truth) is directly related to how well it fits into the laws of the universe as we know them to be (e.g. nothing falls upward)… and what is unquestionably known to be true (e.g. something hit the Pentagon)
There are many ‘theories’ about the destruction of the WTC buildings.
The facts are simple: Commercial aircraft were hijacked by Muslim terrorists and crashed into the two buildings and another one crashed into the Pentagon. The WTC buildings were subject to intense fires which weakened the support beams, causing the upper floors to collapse downwards, destroying both buildings.
Stories about ‘plasmoid clouds’,’rockets,’ streets carpeted with aircraft parts that could not have come from commercial aircraft, Jewish moving van operators jumping up and down on top of their truck, US Army explosive experts rushing into the burning buildings to lay explosive charges are all interesting and very entertaining fantasies.
Not one of these “theories” has any more subjective value than a Grimm Brothers fairy tale. These stories make the round of the silly ‘blogs’ and are augmented with ‘authoritative reports’ of the atomic destruction of the city of Houston by evil Zionists.
All of these things are fantasy, designed to impress others with the self-importance of the reporter, have no basis in reality and are well worth a good satire.
One would think by now that the facts of the 9/11 attacks were well established. One would also think that the causes and effects of the Christmas Day SEA Tsunami would be equally established. Or that the increasing risk of serious hurricanes in the southeastern part of the United States is well-understood.
It has become a burgeoning industry to invent reasons and excuses for various events that have an absolute basis in provable fact.
French writers have claimed that ‘Soviet missiles’ struck the Pentagon.
They did not.
Other ‘experts’ claim that the WTC disaster was caused by: the Chinese Communists, ex-KGB personnel, the Illuminati, the CIA, the United States Army, the notorious Hidden Hand, East German scientists, renegade Albanian goat herders, the Boy Scouts, the gay community of Jacksonville, Florida, Satanists, trained lemurs, the Mossad, or the Mother Teresa Hate and Destruction Society of Hoboken, New Jersey.
It was not.
The same deluded people who eagerly find evil plots in such natural phenomenons as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunami, terrorists, wildfires and chronic beach erosion also believe in the Return of Jesus, black helicopters, the Easter Bunny, the Bilderburgers, the Trilateral Commission, and the monumentally evil Skull and Bones society.
And we must not ignore the ‘M.V. Estonia’ which was sunk by Russian atomic bombs!
For aircraft incidence there are the 1955 bombing of the Kashmir Princess, the 1985 Arrow Air Flight 1285 crash, the 1986 Mozambican Tupolev Tu-134 crash, the 1937 Hindenberg disaster, the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, and the 1994 Mull of Kintyre helicopter crash.
In the 1960s, the John Birch Society asserted that a United Nations force would soon arrive in black helicopters to bring the U.S. under UN control.
And then there was the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in south-east Asia in March 2014 which prompted many conspiratorial theories. One theory suggests that this plane was hidden away and reintroduced as Flight MH17 later the same year in order to be shot down over Ukraine for political purposes
The Deepwater Horizon conspiracy theories pertain to a fatal oil-rig industrial accident in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, claiming alleged sabotage by those seeking to promote environmentalism, or a strike by North Korean or Russian submarines.
And in addition, there are stories about immense deposits of leaked oil reposing on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico, waiting to rise up and flood western Florida beaches, killing inhabitants and their pets.
And fading slowly away is the belief that the Loch Ness monster surfaced in Lake Erie and destroyed a tour boat full of nuns.
The deaths of prominent figures of all types attract conspiracy theorists, including, for example, the deaths of Martin Luther King, Jr., Sheikh Rahman, Yitzhak Rabin, George S. Patton,Jr., Princess Diana, Dag Hammarskjöld, President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Abraham Lincoln.
And some solemnly claim that Queen Elizabeth is actually a giant lizard or that huge cities have been discovered under the melting icecap in Antarctica.
The robbery-murder of Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich spawned several right-wing conspiracy theories, including the claim that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016, which runs contrary to the U.S. intelligence’s conclusion the leaked DNC emails were part of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections
Some conspiracy theorists believe that Denver International Airport stands above an underground city which serves as a headquarters of the New World Order
There is a persistent theory that Israel uses animals to conduct espionage or to attack people.
A 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, prompted numerous conspiracy theories, among which is the claim that it was a manufactured event with the aim of promoting gun control.
And many believe that, in addition to faked moon-landing pictures, NASA is secretly planning to use holograms, lasers and electromagnetic waves to fool people into believing that God has appeared, which will permit the establishment of an evil global government.
And the latest example is the fictional ‘nerve gas poisoning’ of a Russian double-agent and his daughter in England.
Such people exist in all societies and in all times.
The ancient Greeks believed in the gods walking around Greece, fornicating with civilians and goats, the Egyptians believed in Sacred Snakes and Scientologists believe that poor, crazy (and fat) L. Ron Hubbard was God Incarnate.
At least once a week, some poor soul in Bad Seepage, Ohio, writes an email to me wanting me to publish a twenty page illiterate rant about how the CIA and the local YMCA are destroying her brain using ‘power waves’ from microwave transmission towers concealed in local church spires or one gentleman in Yuma, Arizona who wants me to alert the nation to the ‘absolute fact’ that an immense army of Chinese is poised at the northern Mexican border to invade America and has been waiting for forty-seven years.
All of these fantasies are attested to by non-existent ‘experts’ such as ‘Army Officers,’ ‘Famous Scientists’ or other ‘experts,’ none of whom can ever be located, probably because they are Imaginary Friends such as those small children speak with while playing in the sand box.
And it is well-known that as a child, George W. Bush was not allowed to play in his families sand box because when he did, the neighborhood cats tried to cover him up.”
